Sneak peak of my Yandere!Superman work. Finally finished the first draft! It's over 11k words of straight up Yandere crack. Holy shit, it's a mess. Guys, I yapped to close to the sun.
If you had to describe Lex Luthor in one word, it would be "bitch." A total bitch. What did Veronica say in that one musical? Oh yeah, he was a mythic bitch.
For example, he decided to open a rift in the multiverse. It tore through the city, and you fell into it. Now you were stuck in another universe with absolutely no idea how to get back to yours. What a bitch.
“Look, I know I sound crazy but I promise I'm not.”
You probably looked insane standing in front of his apartment, pleading for help. Fortunately, the hallway was deserted. A ghost town, but that was due to change, and you did not need anyone else seeing you in the state you were in.
You tilted your head to look up at Clark. Uncanny couldn’t even begin to explain how uneasy you felt staring at him. The man in front of you was not your best friend and the person you grew up with. He was nothing but a stranger who wore his face and his baby-blue eyes.
You gulped. Maybe this wasn't as good an idea as you thought it would be. You certainly hadn't thought it out. Only knocked and prayed he would open the door.
Clark stood in the middle of his doorway, his body tipped forward slightly as his hand still gripped the doorknob. From the corner of your eye, you could see his knuckles turning pale.
His gaze made you shiver. You weren't used to him looking at you as if you were a stranger. It felt wrong. Completely and utterly wrong.
“I think maybe you should come in.” Exhaustion seeped through his voice, and guilt immediately bubbled up in your gut like acid as you took in his sleep-disheveled appearance. You must've woken him up.
He stepped back and pressed himself up against the tiny wall of his apartment, giving you enough space to walk in without being crowded. You brushed past him, and the door closed with a soft ‘click’ behind you.
“Oh, wow, I haven't been here in forever.”
You felt star-struck. The walls, the decoration, and even the welcome mat—all of it was the same just as you remembered.
“Why is that?” You didn't have to look at him to know he wore a confused expression. His voice said it all.
“You and Lois moved in together a few years back.” You mindlessly shrugged as you struggled to kick off your shoes, stumbling around until both of them were finally off and kicked to the side.
A wave of emotions danced across his features and you struggled to remain silent. You could unpack whatever that was later. Right now all you wanted was to hibernate for a hundred years.
You trudged down to the living room with Clark's much heavier footsteps following not far behind. Neither of you spoke, and you made an immediate beeline for the couch.
You collapsed onto the piece of furniture with a breathless groan. Finally, you could relax. But before you did that, you snatched the nearest pillow and buried your face into it, letting out the loudest, highest-pitched scream your throat could manage. What a release.
A few feet away, Clark tilted his head as he fully took you in. He looked pensive. Not exactly lost in thought, but just thinking.
You turned your head to the side, your cheek being the unfortunate victim of being smashed against the pillow. “I am the best and worst thing to ever happen to you.” Or at least that's what Martha and Jonathan told everyone when they asked about you. “I tackled you in a field and the rest was history.”
“That doesn't answer my question…?” He now stood next to the coffee table, so close that every time he shifted his leg would brush against the wood.
You were never good at hiding your emotions. Even worse at reeling them in. “You're my best friend.” You finally sighed and watched in slight embarrassment as his eyes widened and his mouth fell ajar.
“Are you okay?” he questioned.
No, your life was a dumpster fire, but he didn't need to know that. At least not yet. “I’m a little frazzled. Mainly just exhausted.”
He nodded, seemingly content enough with your answer, which you appreciated because speaking right now felt like a chore.
Experimentally, he stepped forward. One step, then another, until he hovered just a few inches away from your upper half. You were half unconscious and completely used to the closeness that came with Clark. It never fazed you. Not anymore.
He studied you intensely as if you were a painting in a museum. It might've been your imagination, but it was almost as if he were admiring you. Which was crazy because there was nothing to admire. Unless autism, ADHD, and a whole lot of issues are counted. Which you highly doubted.
“Get some rest,” he whispered softly. “We can talk later.”
