Wow! You'd think I would be used to the utter, backstabbing treachery that is the MB by now, but you... you've just taken it to a whole new level. Poor Clark, already so insecure in his feelings for Lex, and then Bad!Daddy comes along and tells hims Lex isn't gay-- eeep!
The ending segment was just painfully poignant, with Clark realizing how Lex seems to look forward to his company and seeing the promises and invitations that were probably there all along. My heart breaks for Clark, and for Lex, but in my own, happy, denial-based mind I remained convinced in the end this all works out for the Clex.
Oh, he's a very, *very* Bad!Daddy! *g* I'm so glad you liked the story, Alee. Thanks so much for letting me know!

You know, that's exactly why I left it open-ended. I'm all for the denial, too. And I knew optimists like us would imagine their own happy ending. *smile*
