Solitary
Clark called in a week's worth of sick days. The end of perfect attendance and even more rebellious.
"Won't Metropolis be disappointed in its hero?"
"Fuck Metropolis." Clark was more interested in Lex's hand, busy under the sheets.
They stopped answering the phone. Clark didn't feel bad about that, but he wasn't looking forward to his mother's messages. He was going to get it from Lois too, but she could be plied with details.
It had been Lex's idea. "Everyone needs a vacation, Clark." He bought books - Best Restaurants You Don't Know, Metropolis Walking Tours.
They didn't leave the apartment.
