Don't be weird - ? (Rumi giggled again, snuggling all the closer.) Too late for that now.
Well ... that would be a new way to wake up, for sure. Probably not the worst way, but I guess we'll have to find out, huh?
(Yeah, it was silly, but so were they. And so were parts of their relationship. In all honesty - ? Rumi loved that she and Clark could be weird with each other, could just be themselves without worrying about any judgment. Their relationship was many things, and she loved every aspect of it, but there was just something so special about how much laughter they shared.
Even if Mira was going to call them sappy and gross (lovingly).)
Little do they know that I fell in love with you for far more reasons than the fact that you're a journalist! Nobody can be just like you, Clark, and I'm so glad that I'm able to call you mine.
Don't worry, one of these mornings you'll find out.
[Smiling he leaned in and kissed the tip of her nose. Obviously he'd brush GENTLY and use her toothbrush. He was a journalist and it was his job to get to the truth so if he had to follow up on his word to do that... then so be it. Rumi knew what she was getting into with this relationship and silly times were one of those things. Of course, Rumi seemed to love the silly times part of their relationship so maybe that was one of the reasons she got into this.]
I'm glad to be yours. And no one is like you. And I look forward to when people are probably very confused about how we ended up together.
I don't doubt it. Just you, me, and my toothbrush. Very cozy.
(Rumi relaxed all the further after the sweet, gentle kiss to the tip of her nose. She was warm and comfortable and happy and while she knew that soon, she'd fall asleep, she still wanted to enjoy being with Clark until then.
She had indeed known all about his tendency to be silly, even back when they were first getting to know each other, and all throughout the duration of their friendship. She hadn't anticipated anything different once they had started dating. It was just part of his personality, after all, and she wouldn't change him for the world. Just like it was part of hers, and she knew he loved her for everything that she was.
Rumi snorted softly, tickling Clark's side gently, even though she knew it probably wouldn't do much for him. It was fun for her, anyway.)
Let them speculate. Our relationship is ours, no one else's.
[Clark sighed with his ENTIRE BODY when he said, just a happy sigh where he melted against her even more. Cozy times with Rumi were some of his absolute favorite times, just that sort of physical intimacy combined with the effortlessness of being together with a hint of laziness was bliss. It was the sort of relaxation that he'd never really experience before he met her that was overwhelming in the best possible way. Rumi even made just laying down or sitting into one of the best activities ever with just her presence!]
That will definitely be new for me, that level of... scrutiny. I won't mind it will just be new. We'll just have to hide away just the two of us lots.
[And he meant it when he said he wasn't worried about it that it would just be new. But it would be worth it, so worth it, to have their relationship out in the open.]
(Rumi truly felt that maybe she never really knew what relaxing was before becoming involved with Clark. Yes, she and the girls took breaks between album cycles, but she never truly wanted to sit around and do nothing before. She would fill her free time with activities just because she needed to stay busy and keep her mind occupied.
Now, she craved moments just like this. Quiet moments. Moments where nothing needed to be said or done, because it was just as fulfilling to spend time together just enjoying each other's company. She appreciated that sometimes, it was perfectly acceptable to do nothing. All the better if they could do it together.
And right now, just holding each other in her bed made her feel so incandescently happy.)
Yeah. I'm sorry ... sometimes I wish I were more ... normal. But I promise, we don't even have to mention your name at first! Just that I'm seeing someone that isn't involved in the entertainment industry. It'll come out eventually, though.
I love that you’re exactly like you are. I know it’s… a lot for you at times though and I know it means we can’t do everything we want right now but… it’s pretty amazing that you’re a demon destroying international pop idol superstar who is my good girl. I like that combination.
[Because Clark knew that they couldn’t give up who they were outside of being each other’s partner. And sure it might have been “easier” that way but at the same time Rumi wouldn’t be Rumi if she wasn’t in Huntr/x and he wouldn’t be himself if he wasn’t Superman. One day they might not be those things but they were right now.
And how could he complain too much when they had moments like this? Yes being out in public holding hands would be amazing one day but currently? Currently this was the most special thing he could imagine. He was all wrapped around her and she was soft and warm and lovely against him and it was perfect in the moment.]
(Rumi sighed softly, nuzzling all the more into Clark's chest. Of course he knew what to say to put her at ease - and he didn't do it to placate her, he meant every word because that's just who he was.
Truth be told, she knew very well that they probably never would have met if not for her being part of Huntrix, and the thought of that was nearly unbearable. Maybe things weren't always as easy as she would like them to be, but at least they were granted moments like this because of the abilities he had as Superman. Rumi knew that she shouldn't take anything for granted.
One day, maybe they could be Rumi and Clark and nothing else. Maybe not. But whatever the future brought them, she knew that everything would be okay if they faced it together.)
I know. I can feel it. Even when I’m in Metropolis and I’m here I can feel how much you love me, that’s how extraordinary your love for me is.
[And maybe it was like that for all couples who were in love? But Clark could absolutely feel it, like some sort of warm embrace over him. Or maybe that was just his love for her? It was hard to tell but either way he could feel it and it was such an incredible feeling, unlike anything else he’d ever felt.
Gosh he was lucky. So lucky. It was an epic kind of love, he absolutely knew that. Rumi didn’t do things in half-measures so it was no surprise that when she loved it was with full force.]
But you need to sleep. I’ll hold you until you do then I’ll try and come back to wake you up, okay?
I hope so. That it's always with you and you never lose sight of it. That you carry my love with you every day like I'll carry yours with me.
(While Rumi couldn't begin to say that love was like this for every couple, it was for she and Clark. They didn't necessarily have to be physically together - although she much preferred it - for her to feel his love for her from afar, to know that no matter what he was doing, he was thinking about her. And she hoped that he felt the same from her, too.
And she knew how lucky she was to have found her person in Clark. For as much as she wasn't ready to let him go for the night, he was right. She did need to sleep. Hopefully she would have lovely dreams of the future they wanted for themselves. And when she woke up, he'd be right here by her side if he could be. That was something to look forward to.
She grumbled a bit, but there was no real annoyance in it. In the moment, she was perfectly content.)
Alright, my love. You win, I guess I do need to sleep sometime. Thank you for coming to spend time with me tonight.
[Because she WAS so cute when she was grumpy in small ways like that, kind of like a grumpy cat. It was especially sweet when she was sleepy and cuddly like this. It made it that much harder for him to leave when it came time but once she fell asleep he very, very carefully extracted himself from her before flying back home. He was definitely going to be there when it was time to wake her up though.]
