Work Text:
Lex Luthor's lawyers are working overtime to get him out of Belle Reve, it won't be long until he is out causing trouble again. It was a thing with the enemies he had made throughout his time as superman.
He will just send them to jail until they gave up or learnt their lesson but he thinks that Lex might be difficult to redeem as he was the very first person to be able to study him enough to give him a hard time.
Clark sighs as he leans against the console of the fortress of solitude. He still needed to clean up whatever Lex broke when he entered the fortress the last time. He hopes that the recordings and data are still there at least.
Clark isn't sure if he had gotten any other data other than his parent's message. He looks through the data, there are those explaining his powers and the history of krypton. Well the explanation of powers would have been helpful when he was a baby but he had only found the fortress shortly after becoming superman.
By then he had already gotten the gist of his powers... except for a lot apparently. Clark's eyes shine as the data sinks into his mind.
It wasn't even a week until Luthor is out of jail. There was no announcement but Superman can hear him from across the city.
"That's the plan then..."
He hadn't meant to zero into Luthor when he had been focused on Luthorcorp just in case they had been designing more weapons to destroy him but he is rightfully suspicious when Luthor's voice came out out of the blue as if in the middle of conversation but he hadn't heard the first part and was sure he would have heard at least a slither of his voice.
He cannot wait for Luthor to enact his plans, being here when he is supposed to be in Belle Reve is already a crime.
He zips towards the floor where he had heard him go up. Clark is ashamed to admit this but... he had memorised the pattern of Luthor's heartbeat so even if he wasn't talking he can find him.
"What the- Superman?!"
They panic, their boss is not supposed to be here after all so they were rightfully panicked when Superman zips past security to get to Luthor's office. But it seems like Luthor has been expecting him. Of course, he could make himself disappear right under Superman's nose, if he revealed his location is because he wanted to.
But Luthor has severely underestimated his patience. He take one step and he is already in front of Luthor.
"What are you-" Luthor gapes at him. The faster they get this over with the better. Although... Clark looks into Luthor's crystal blue eyes shrink and dilate as Clark continues to suck on his lips. He may have gotten carried away, continuing the kiss a little way too long than he intended.
Luthor blinks at him and returns the kiss after a few seconds which snapped Clark out of his hormonal stupor and let Luthor fall onto the floor as his legs gave out under him.
Luthor can only look up owishly at the caped man above him as he panics and bursts through the window to escape. Hopefully Luthor will turn himself in and they will never have to cross paths again.
But surprise surprise... his amnesiatic kiss only works on memories before the kiss was initiated, so Luthor's memory started when the kiss wasn't sucking the memory out of Luthor. It would have been better if kissing was used to learn a new language, he had been trying to learn kryptonian but it took him over years to master it.
Clark sighs, staying in his fortress for days upon days. He had asked for leave yet Lois insisted that they continue to talk despite the fact that she had broken it off with him... again... and Clark isn't sure his heart can take another fight with the love of his life.
He was definitely not sulking in the fortress without even so much as a growl or a bark anywhere when he was sure that he heard a chopper heading this way... and the sound of Luthor's voice.
Oh great... he may have forgotten everything from the reason why he hated him in the first place and basically every single move he learned in the past three years, which is wholly convient if all he needed to was to kiss the whole population to forget the whole superharem bit, but he still has all the data he need probably stored somewhere in his servers.
Clark will have to get him alone so he can kiss him again so he can forget the kiss at least and this time he won't linger.
"Stay here!"
The voice carried through despite the loud whooshing from the chopper. From the footsteps there seem to be only one person walking towards the fortress.
"Superman? Are you here?"
Clark swallows nervously, forcefully pushing the sound of his beating heart out of his focus and instead trains his ear to listen to Luthor's excitedly beating heart as the door opens at Superman's presence.
Luthor looks up at Superman through his sunglasses, he seems to be glaring at him but this is technically the second time he had seen Superman face to face in his entire life. The first being when he finds himself kissing this stranger with the wispy hair and soft blue eyes.
Clark actually thought that Luthor is angry at him but his heart is irregular, quite fast to be simple anger. Could he be sick? Or... he didn't want to put the words, nervous, along with Lex Luthor because it doesn't really fit his preconception of him.
"Come in."
Luthor looks around the fortress, gaping at the size of it all. The crystals all had sunlight reflected off it, making it seem like it was sparkling all over the place. It was every thing he expected and more. They were alone, he should take the chance to kiss him again. But he hesitates, his hands hovering in the air awkwardly.
Luthor thinks that maybe he wanted a hug. The gesture is so innocent yet Luthor cannot help but be suspicious.
"Ah wait... before we do this... I just wanted to say... I... really liked the kiss... and I also saw..." Luthor rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. Clark hadn't expected Luthor to be so direct. "... the amnesiac kissing power and well... our first meeting not going as well as one would expected but..."
Clark gapes at him as he continues to speak, his hands lowers until they fell to their side. He didn't know what to say to that. Had his plan... actually worked?! On Lex Luthor?! The guy who caused a calamity and used monkeys to get to his head?!
But for him to figure their relationship and his powers again within a few days...
Luthor seems rather like a bashful school boy than an evil mastermind however as he steps towards him and Clark instinctively floats towards him. This time Luthor attempts to initiate the kiss, slowly, like he is worried that he might scare away the big bad superman. Which... now that Lex has tasted him, doesn't seem as bad as his notes would make him seem.
Clark threw all cautious out the window and claims his lips, this time with no intention of erasing this beacon of salvation for Luthor... them... and maybe for Clark too.
