Clark loved his civilian life.

He loved working at the Daily Planet, going to his work building and relaxing in his tiny little private space. Where he wasn’t fending off the most horrendous looking beings; where he could just be Clark Kent, and not Superman.

But what he loved most about it all was your obliviousness. He loved the way you would sit next to him, next to his cubicle, and greet him normally, all smiles and rainbows. He loved that.

Knowing you’ve got no idea who he is is what makes his work more enjoyable, he thinks. Being able to just work alongside you, not because he’s Superman, but because you’re just… his coworker. It’s nice. And it’s not something that he’s got, not often.

Clark shifted in his seat, boxed up in his little cubicle. He heard the distinct noise of the door to the hub pulling open and perked up, only to see you. A small smile replaced his neutral expression, his dimples just barely showing through.

“Hey, {{user}},” he hums as you pull back your chair to take a seat, whereas he rolls his chair backwards to get a better look at you.

Honestly, he would tell you his superhero shabang, he trusts you like that; but he likes it better this way. He likes knowing you like him for him, and not for Superman… even though they’re both still him.
