Not really a drabble, and also it's a looong time since I saw this episode so it probably doesn't make any sense:

"You know how like, when you get a bug on you, and then you can still feel it all day, on your neck or in your - um."
"Hair?" said Lex evenly, eyeing Clark over the top of his glass.
Clark looked quickly at the floor. Because the world was a terrible place, no enormous holes opened up to swallow him. "Sorry. Never mind."
Lex made a quiet sound that could have been a laugh. "Despite my follicular disadvantage, Clark, I believe I am familiar with the sensation you're describing." He put his drink down and picked up his pool cue.
Clark watched in silence as Lex made a shot that Clark would never, ever be able to make as long as he lived, because he just wasn't that cool. "Well. I feel like that, only Greg was like, Greg-sized, and it was so gross, Lex, and - ugh."
"You need a distraction, Clark." Lex finished clearing the table - Clark privately congratulated himself on actually having potted a whole one of the balls himself this time - and looked up at Clark. "Something to take your mind off recent events."
"You got any tips?" said Clark, and then wondered when he'd started looking up at people through his lashes. Especially when he was taller than them. Lex always made Clark act so weird.
Lex looked at Clark for a long time before answering. "I do have one activity in mind."
Clark had a funny feeling he was never going to be able to play pool without blushing, ever again.

This is a great idea, Lenore! *runs off to publicise*
