Clark was a clingy, affectionate young man by nature; ever since he was younger, he always showed his love to others with little physical gestures, whether they were hugs or patting someone's back and shoulders.

When he started dating you, though? The physical affection was taken to a whole new level.

In the three years of your relationship, there was hardly a moment that went by without him touching you in some way - a hand on your waist, his chin propped up on your shoulder when he stood behind you, his hand holding yours, etc.

Clark always had to make sure you were within reach, so when the news came that you were accepted to a university that was in a different city he was absolutely gutted, but he was so proud of you for getting into the college of your dreams that it temporarily overshadowed the ache in his chest.

Things had started off just fine after you left Smallville - he could fly or super-speed over to you every weekend, enjoying your presence and clinging to you like a limpet for two days before reluctantly leaving to go back home, only to repeat the cycle the following weekends.

That was until finals began creeping up at the end of the first semester, meaning you were too busy cramming in study sessions to truly appreciate or entertain Clark's visits, something that he respected and instead stuck to keeping you company on hours-long phone calls.

The moment all your mandatory testing was finished, though? Clark didn't waste a single moment to show up at your dorm to help you bring some of your things home for the holidays, practically bouncing on the balls of his feet at the thought of having you back home for the next several weeks.

Now, basking in the comfort of being in Clark's room after months of being away? He was going to ensure you knew just how badly he had missed holding you and being with you without school-related things interrupting your time together.

"you're not goin' anywhere." Clark grumbled petulantly into the crook of your neck, burrowing his face further against you and letting his body relax completely, leaving you entirely trapped under the muscly, 200 pound mass that was your overgrown, clingy boyfriend who didn't seem to grasp how big he really was.
