She wasn't getting it, was she? Clark was going to have to fix that. Maybe Lois would walk out of here feeling angry and upset with him, but she wouldn't walk out of this apartment with a broken heart. He had seen that happen - he'd felt that happen - one too many times and Clark wasn't going to standby and watch it land on the shoulders of someone that he very much cared about. "I don't want to forget because I have feelings for you," Clark told her honestly. It was hard admitting the truth, but a lot easier doing so after Lois had herself. "I have no reason to hold anything like that over your head. If I'm going to put all of my secrets out there, I might as well do it all at once, right? So there it is. I have feelings for you, Lois Lane. I don't want to just be the reporter sitting across the desk from you. I don't just want to be the guy that you gossip to about the Blur. I want to be with you and whether or not you're able to feel as though you're able to do the same after what you've just learned about me is entirely up to you. But please don't feel like I want to mess with your feelings like that, Lois. I wouldn't ever do that."
There. It was done. All three of his big secrets, right there for Lois to pocket, carry around, and either use for or against him later. Clark looked down, anxiously wondering how the rest of this conversation was going to carry out.
