“Sam?”
Sam lay flat on the bed, hiding his head beneath the pillow. “G’way.”
Clark didn’t listen. He shifted schematics out of the way and sat down on the bed. He touched Sam’s back comfortingly. “I know break ups suck.”
“You don’t know anything!”
“Sam, there’ll be others—”
“How do you know? You’ve been with Papa Lex all your life.”
“True. But Lex hasn’t only been with me. He went out with a lot of people before he became your Papa.”
Sam sat up abruptly, red hair askew. “This is different, Dad! I
love Kurt. It’s not just sex!”
Clark blinked and tried to formulate a response. “You had sex with Kurt?”
Sam looked away, blushing. “That’s not the point.”
“You’re too young to have sex.”
“You were younger than me when you had sex.” Sam set his chin defiantly. “
And you had a baby.”
“This isn’t about me. This is about you and Kurt.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter anyway because Kurt dumped me!” Sam flopped down and pulled the pillow over his head again. “I want to
die.”
Clark scrubbed his face with his hand and vowed to cheat next time he and Lex flipped the parenting coin.
