Much more than 100 again, but I doubt you all mind.
An awkward silence hung in the bedroom. Sam had banged on the locked door moments ago, waking them from their post-coital doze, informing them it was time for dinner. After answering that they would be out soon, Clark and Lex had untangled and sat up separately in bed.
Clark plucked at the sheet pooled over his waist, fighting the urge to pull it up to his neck. He was naked and in bed with Lex. Yes, Lex had seen him unclothed on occasion, considering they lived together, but it was totally different. Clark was naked and in bed with Lex. They’d touched – more than touched – each other’s naked bodies for the first time in years. Four years, six months, and eight days, to be exact: the night Sam was conceived.
Clark glanced out of the corner of his eye at Lex. Lex didn’t appear too comfortable, either. It was a huge step they’d just taken, changing their relationship permanently. Things would never be the same again.
Lex pushed the sheets off suddenly and rose from the bed. Clark’s cheeks heated and he dropped his eyes as Lex strode nakedly towards the bathroom. The intimacy of such a simple act as walking nude in front of another person nearly overwhelmed Clark.
Lex paused in the doorway of the en suite bathroom. “I’m taking a shower.” He didn’t sound too sure of himself when he offered, “You can join me, if you’d like.”
Clark’s body liked that idea, even as his face flamed hotter. Lex vanished into the bathroom, shutting the door partway.
“Oh, geez,” Clark mumbled to himself. He dragged a hand through his hair and rubbed the back of his neck. He was acting like a timid virgin. Which he was, sort of. It was only the second time he’d had sex in his life.
But it was Lex: the person who’d taken his actual virginity nearly five years ago. The person who was in love with him and he loved in return. The only person he’d be with for the rest of his life.
Clark heard the shower go on, gathered his courage, and got out of bed. He was an adult, was as married as he could get, and already had a child with the man in the shower. There was no reason to be shy over being naked together.
The glimpse of Lex behind the frosted glass shower doors caused Clark to gulp and hurry into the water closet. He shut the door and leaned his forehead against it with his eyes closed.
“Moron,” he called himself, took a deep breath, and blew it out. He did his business in the toilet and left the water closet. At the sink, he found a wrapped toothbrush lying out beside the basin and his lips curved. Looking in the fogging mirror, he could see Lex behind him through the shower doors. Lex was being so obvious in his not-watching Clark that Clark felt himself relax. He wasn’t the only one nervous.
Clark brushed his teeth to get rid of nap-mouth, checked that two towels were at the ready, and then went over to the shower door. Lex stopped washing, his body still behind the blurred glass door. Squaring his shoulders, Clark opened the shower door and stepped inside.
Steam rolled upwards from the hot water. The shower spray rained down on the hard cubicle floor. Lex’s skin had pinked from the heat. Droplets clung to his fair eyelashes. He didn’t move, watching Clark with timidity in his eyes.
“Hi,” Clark said hesitantly.
“Hi.” Lex had a white-knuckled grip on the washrag in his hands. “I’m glad you chose to join me.”
“It’s faster this way,” Clark took a step closer, “Sam’s waiting for us.”
“We don’t want him to starve,” Lex said, extending a hand towards Clark.
Clark took Lex’s hand and walked into an embrace. The washrag fell heedlessly to the floor. The shower spray rained on them both. Clark held Lex’s wet, naked body in his arms and wondered why he’d hesitated at all.
“I love you,” Lex murmured against Clark’s shoulder.
Clark’s arms tightened around Lex, amazed by how perfectly they fit together. Then again, they always had, it just had taken Clark a while to realize it. “Love you back.”
Lex leaned back, their lower bodies still pressed together, and grinned with crooked bashfulness. “We’d better get cleaned up. We have a kid to feed.”
“Yes, we should do that,” Clark agreed, and lowered his head to kiss that beautiful smile.
It ended up being the dirtiest shower Clark had ever taken.

Always one of my best parts of the week. Thanks sweetie.
“We don’t want him to starve,” Lex said, extending a hand towards Clark.
LOL!

One thing: “I’m glad you choose to join me.”
I think you want "chose" there.
Re: wonderful
I love this universe.
Thank you. And God, there are so many bits and pieces in this universe, I so need to go over them again. I hope you have archive at your website, sweetie, or it's going to be a lot of work reading it all. *nods*
Lovely. I would have liked to see Sam walk in and jump on the bed or something, but I guess you'll write that as another challenge. *g*
That is all . . . for now :)
Just a lovely series, many thanks for the fun and smiles
This chapter was cute and sweet, and just shows the luv of our two boys. Sam is one of my favorite Clex's kids and I will hope in time he will be able to have a son of his own with his beau.
Keep up the great work Saber. I and many others have much to be thankful for when you write your stories. : )

Re: Just a lovely series, many thanks for the fun and smiles
I am debating on whether to put them chronologically when I post it on my site (at the end of the year) or to keep them jumping around in time. I'm still up in the air about it. We'll see what it looks like when I try it out.
