(yes, the chapter count went up - whoops)
Clark?" The flash of green Lex is met with isn't quite what he expects. There's a spark there—a warmth he can't place. "What?"
Clark cocks his head, eyebrows pinching as if confused by the question, but after a moment he blinks the expression away. To Lex's relief and detriment, a fond smile appears in its place. "I'm just glad you found me. That's all."
The lurch in Lex's stomach is reminiscent of a free fall. "Well, yeah—who knows what you would have done wandering around Smallville with no memory."
Rolling his eyes, Clark sits on the far corner of the bed. Safely out of reach. "No, I mean—I'm glad it was you who found me." He clears his throat, eyes lowering to where he's picking at his fingernails. "It brought us back together, you know? And I'm grateful for that."
Lex isn't sure there is any air left in the room, but he manages a hushed, "Me too, Clark."
"I just wish me hurting you wasn't a part of us getting here," Clark admits at the same volume.
"Eh, it was worth it."
Lex says it without thinking, without really meaning to.
It may be the most truthful sentence he's spoken aloud in his entire life.

Summary:
Lex refuses to acknowledge the stinging in is eyes, to show that level of weakness. How affected he is by the realization that Clark doesn't know him. He wrestles with the hollow ache threatening to swallow him whole until it submits, forcing it into the ancient lead box in his mind and locking it tight.
He sends the stranger wearing Clark's face a lopsided smile. "I'm a friend."
Clark blinks once. "You can take me to the sign?"
Lex turns away again, not trusting his expression as he says, "What are friends for?"

What if Lex found Clark in 4x01 instead of Lois?

#season FIVE mind you!!! #after she turned on him for literally no reason! #there was nothing in this for him! #sitting by her bedside talking to her like this isn’t for PR or whatever #he still cares #just because she doesn’t and Clark doesn’t and Lana is on the fence #he still LOVES THEM #no wonder they cut this scene #god forbid we see how much he hasn’t changed (via @cinnamonanddean)
