This was a hard one, since FFL branched off after Stray. I chose an oft-repeated ep that could demonstrate the friendship Clark and Lex had that led up to them sleeping together later on.
Clark saw Lex enfolded in a faux embrace by his father. Lex stood stiffly, an expression of longing on his face as he looked in Kent family’s direction. The hugs Clark received from his parents were warm and real, but he felt bad about them.
Clark told his parents that he’d meet them later and waited until he caught Lex alone. Standing near the ambulance, Clark enfolded Lex in his arms and whispered against the side of his head, “I’m glad you’re okay.”
Lex clutched Clark like a lifeline in return, and murmured, “I am now.”
Clark held him tighter.

No FFLette next week (and possibly the week after), as I'm going on vacation.
