[info]elite_muses October prompt - Coffee  
Chloe called too damn early. On a Sunday, a rare day when Lois actually had off from working with Mrs. Kent and now her new job [yes, NEW job she actually INTERVIEWED for!] working for the Inquisitor. Not that she didn't love both jobs a lot, it was just more work than she was used to, and she was still adjusting. Sunday she wanted to relish as a day spent doing nothing, maybe taking in a Lifetime movie marathon and spending the whole day in bed.

Not today. Chloe had called, telling her she needed to talk to her about something. Chloe sounded kind of odd, but wouldn't talk about whatever was wrong over the phone. So now she was dressed, and meeting Chloe downstairs in the Talon for coffee. She sighed and pulled a sweatshirt on over her t-shirt and didn't even bother to give herself the once-over in the mirror. It was cold and rainy. A typical fall day in farm country, and on a normal day she actually liked the rain...a day when she was able to stay warm under the covers.

Sighing, she shut off the light and walked out of her apartment. She yawned a little, 11am was still too early on a Sunday, but she loved her cousin. She'd forgive her this once. She walked over to the counter and ordered two of their usual drinks while waiting for Chloe by the counter.

Chloe had been awake since..oh..two hours before they were supposed to meet. She was still reeling from this recent development from Clark's angle and it was weird. So she did call Lois and decided to emet her for coffee and well get it out into the open. She wanted to see her cousin's face when she went and confronted her on it.

She packed her laptop up and theng rabbed her keys, taking a ride to the Talon. And then walked in. Tapping her foot a bit as she looked around and then spotted her at the counter.

"Hey. Glad to see you actually made it:"

Lois turned after thanking the barista and smiled at her cousin. "Hey, of course I did. You call, I come. No matter what the ungodly hour you call at." She said with a grin before hugging her cousin.

She handed Chloe her coffee and grabbed her own, flipping the lid off and grabbing the sugar, pouring it in without quite looking at how much she was putting in. What? She liked sugar. "So what's so important, Chlo?"
krypto_hag: you want lo[info]krypto_hag on October 8th, 2006 05:20 am (UTC)
"well, i thank you for that. really. You know how we all have those blogs right? Well Clark wrote something...and. "

She paused and then just spit it out., might as well not beat around the bush.

"Clark likes you."
Lois Lane: dumbass[info]imperious_lane on October 8th, 2006 05:35 am (UTC)
Lois quirked an eyebrow at Chloe, shaking her head. "Clark wrote something? You mean the farm boy can actually put a sentence together?" She said with a smirk before taking a sip of her coffee. Oh that hit the spot.

Lois stared at Chloe for a second and shrugged. "Oh. I like him too."
krypto_hag[info]krypto_hag on October 8th, 2006 05:37 am (UTC)
"Yes, he can put together quite a few sentences...he did work at the Torch with me. "

She looked at her cousin as it didn't sink in and then she palmed her face.

"Lois, you DO understand what I'm saying right? the TERM of like I mean? He doesn't like you just as a friend"

Her cousin had to get it after that...if she didn't there was no hope...none.
Lois Lane: snap[info]imperious_lane on October 8th, 2006 05:41 am (UTC)
"Right." Lois said with a nod before taking another drink of her coffee.

She shook her head at her cousin as she was obviously frustrated with her. She listened as Chloe clarified and hesitated for a minute before her face broke out in a grin.

"Chloe...Clark...he and I aren't that way. We annoy the hell out of each other."
krypto_hag: why me?[info]krypto_hag on October 8th, 2006 05:42 am (UTC)
"Oh? Then pardon me if I'm wrong here Lo....here..sit..."

She lead her cousin to a seat and pushed her literally into it and then hooked her laptop, allowing her fingers to fly over the keys and direct it to Clark's post and then she waited.

"now, tell me with a straight face that he doesn't like you like THAT"
Lois Lane: even angels fall[info]imperious_lane on October 8th, 2006 05:59 am (UTC)
Lois sighed, rolling her eyes slightly as she sat down at the table next to Chloe. She watched as Chloe brought up the page and gave her cousin a look before leaning over to read the post.

For a moment while her hand was in mine I felt normal, like nothing else mattered.

Lois swallowed hard and stared at the screen for another moment. That couldn't be Clark...not the Clark she knew, the Clark who practically sighed in frustration the second she walked into the room, the one she teased relentlessly. Sure he was kind of cute, and seemed to always be there when she needed him...but him liking her? That was a whole other thing entirely.

"Well that's um..." She paused and breathed out a slight laugh. "I think for the first time in my life I might actually be speechless."
krypto_hag: the truth[info]krypto_hag on October 8th, 2006 06:00 am (UTC)
"yeah, I can imagine so. I was speechless too when I read it. Imagine me seeing it before you. "

She looked at Lois an blinked.

"are the feelings returned?
Lois Lane: clarkie[info]imperious_lane on October 8th, 2006 06:09 am (UTC)
Lois looked from Chloe down to her drink, suddenly wishing the coffee had a bit more of a kick to it. "Did you say anything to him about it?" She wondered, wondering if Clark passed it off as just foolish ramblings or just a joke...she was surprised to find herself hoping not.

Her eyes rose to met Chloe's at her question. She laughed softly before shaking her head. "I don't know. It's Clark. Wonderboy from Kansas. Not really my type, Chlo." Okay, maybe he was exactly her type, but it was still CLARK.
krypto_hag[info]krypto_hag on October 8th, 2006 06:11 am (UTC)
"actually yes I"ve done my investigative reporting, and it isn't some hoax, like I'm guessing you think it is, that's it some kind of joke. It's not. He really honestly likes you."

She nodded and then sipped her own coffee, smiling a bit.

"It might be kind of cool you know? I mean, you two make a great team together."
Lois Lane[info]imperious_lane on October 8th, 2006 06:16 am (UTC)
Lois shook her head slightly and smiled at her cousin's choice of words. Ever the reporter. "Yeah um...wow. It's news to me." She said carefully. Sure there had always been a little spark between she and Clark, but it was nothing she ever paid attention to...not really anyway.

Lois chuckled softly at Chloe's comment and shrugged. "A team who is constantly bickering. I don't know, I think we'd be more Bonnie and Clyde than Romeo and Juliet." She paused and wrinkled her nose. "Bad choices. Both couples died in the end."
krypto_hag[info]krypto_hag on October 8th, 2006 06:18 am (UTC)
"and I'm here to break the breaking news. "

She gave a grin.

"Look, I can TELL you two actually like each other and you know what? I'm sick of being in the middle watching. Now you two should just give a go and if it doesn't work out then it doesn't. You both deserve a lil happiness. And who knows. it could be just what you both need."
Lois Lane: um...okay[info]imperious_lane on October 8th, 2006 06:30 am (UTC)
Lois blinked at her cousin, once again dumbstruck.

"You're actually encouraging this, Chlo?" She said with a slight smile that faded. She sighed and shook her head. "Okay, if...IF I were to even consider this...the whole thing rides on that last half of what you said. If it doesn't work out. Besides you, the Kents are all I have. The General is always gone, Lucy is God knows where...I can't risk the only real family I've felt a part of in a long time. And knowing me? I'll find some way to screw it up."
krypto_hag[info]krypto_hag on October 8th, 2006 06:45 am (UTC)
She ran her fingers through her hair and sighed, looking at Lois.

"How can one date cause any harm? See where it goes from there. I dont think if you two don't work out that's going to change anything between you and Mrs.Kent. It didn't change anything between her and Lana. "
Lois Lane: heart[info]imperious_lane on October 8th, 2006 07:09 am (UTC)
Lois cringed slightly at the mention of Lana. That was another thing. Lana, she considered to be a friend. Sure they weren't Ya-Ya sisterhood-y, but she was still a friend. Granted Lana had moved on, and with Lex but it would still be weird. "I don't know..." She said, biting her lower lip and absentmindedly tugging on a strand of her hair. She shook her head and smiled slightly. "I guess it's something to think about."
krypto_hag[info]krypto_hag on October 8th, 2006 07:10 am (UTC)
She rolled her eyes and let her head meet the table.

"That is the same exact thing Clark said."
Lois Lane: no damsel[info]imperious_lane on October 8th, 2006 07:12 am (UTC)
Lois couldn't help but smile at Chloe and shrug her shoulders. "I guess the two of us just don't want to be the first one to make the move." Sure, Lois was all about the rise in women power, being a working, corporate woman, but she was not above being swept off her feet, being wooed and treated like a lady.

"I for one think I'll be waiting for Smallville to make the first move. Because honestly? I'll believe it when I see it."
krypto_hag[info]krypto_hag on October 8th, 2006 07:13 am (UTC)
She grinned and then lifted her head, nodding.

"Alright, well I'll make sure to tell him you're intrested. and on the market."
Lois Lane: Lois[info]imperious_lane on October 8th, 2006 07:19 am (UTC)
Lois laughed, shaking her head and sighing. "Good God, I can't believe you are the go-between with me and Clark of all people. It's like I've stepped into some other world or something."
krypto_hag[info]krypto_hag on October 9th, 2006 01:02 am (UTC)
"Yeah, well I admit it was a little weird at first, but hearing him talk about you, I feel the need to help my best friend and my cousin. "

she gave a grin.
Lois Lane: durance - CW[info]imperious_lane on October 10th, 2006 10:49 pm (UTC)
Lois smiled and shook her head. "Well maybe you should change your career to matchmaking." She said with another shake of her head. She couldn't believe she was actually letting Chloe do this, or that she was even considering going out with Clark Kent. It was...surprising to say the least.
Clark Kent[info]kryptonian on October 10th, 2006 11:21 pm (UTC)
[Clark got a text from Chloe to come meet her for coffee so he walked inside and looked around seeing Chloe then seeing her with Lois he paused a moment then walked over smiling in his shy little way] Hey CHloe. Hello Lois.
krypto_hag[info]krypto_hag on October 10th, 2006 11:47 pm (UTC)
CLARK! well would you look at this...isn't this a coincidence....*she gave a grin* Hey Clark, come on and join us. We were just talking about you.
Lois Lane: cute[info]imperious_lane on October 10th, 2006 11:53 pm (UTC)
Lois looked up as the door jingled someone's arrival. She felt her heart leap up to her throat as Clark walked over to them. She shot a glare at Chloe, wondering if she had anything to do with Clark's arrival. "Hey Smallville." She said casually while leaning back in her chair, her fingers nervously tapping on the table's surface.
Clark Kent[info]kryptonian on October 11th, 2006 12:08 am (UTC)
[he looked at Chloe and perked a brow then looked at Lois as he sat down ordering something to drink] what's up with you two?
