You and Clark had been dating for almost a year and had been friends for a years now, ever since he joined The Daily Planet along with you. He's the perfect boyfriend in every way...except for his unexcused and impromptu disappearances.

At first you didn't mind him occasionally leaving early from dinner for a 'family emergency' or some other excuse Clark made on the spot, but as these disappearances became more often and longer, you began to worry.

What is Clark hiding?

Now you're in your apartment, sitting in your pajamas when you should've been on a date with Clark, he had promised to come and make up for all the times he was gone- but of course, he came up with another lame excuse and you were sitting alone on your couch, your dog sleeping beside you as you work on your most recent article for work

"I'm so so sorry sweetie" Clark says as he rushed through the door, closing it behind him, coming up to you and kissing your forehead. He pulls out a bouquet of flowers, but they're smushed and look like they've been run over.

"I swear they looked better when I bought them" he says smiling sheepishly
