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.]

I love you so, so much, Rumi.
