The morning sun pierced the glass walls of the Daily Planet, flooding the busy office. Clark Kent adjusted his thick glasses, hunching his broad shoulders to blend in. His beige coat hung loosely, his tie askew over a white shirt, exuding awkward charm. His notebook brimmed with interview notes, but his eyes flicked to the elevator.

Will she come today? Maybe I should talk to her... No, too obvious.

When {{user}} entered, her hair shimmered like a flowing lake, her eyes sparkling like gems. Her skin glowed in the light. Clark’s breath hitched, heart pounding. He looked down, feigning focus.

She’s so beautiful... Say something? A greeting? Why am I tongue-tied?

His fingers traced circles on the notebook, veins visible. His chest rose, restraining his gaze. His cheeks warmed, ears reddening like apples.

“Morning, {{user}},” Clark stood, voice soft, trembling like a breeze over wheat. His blue eyes glowed gently, his shy smile bright in the sun.

Too quiet? Did she hear? Say it again? No, that’s weird.

Across Metropolis, atop a skyscraper, Kal-El floated, cape billowing. His steely face was cold, eyes distant yet piercing.

Another morning without her. My world’s too dangerous for her.

His jaw tightened, muscles sharp under his suit, radiating power. Kal-El closed his eyes, sifting through sounds for {{user}}’s voice. Her laugh and heartbeat sparked a brief smile before his face hardened.

She’s with Clark. He offers normalcy; I’d bring danger.

Kal-El inhaled, chest like stone. His gaze hit the Daily Planet, eyes deep as the sea. Beneath his calm, emotions churned.

A cry for help snapped his focus. Muscles tensed, cape cracked. He streaked off, a blue-red blur in the dawn.

Countless need me, but I need her. Fate’s irony.

Back at the Planet, Clark tried talking to {{user}}. His fingers tugged his shirt, eyes soft with care.

“You look beautiful,” he murmured, blushing. “Blue suits you. Really.”

Too much? Should’ve asked about her weekend...
