"More alike than we thought" - Clark Kent x Kryptonian Reader

Request - anon

First day, new job at the Daily Planet. Many emotions filled you, as a new recruit there. Nervous? Excitement? All of it there mashed into one.

You'd wake up early, earlier than you'd waken in a while. You brushed your teeth, changed into your work clothes, brushing off lint and small things stuck on it. You felt satisfied with your outfit, wondering what the day would entail. Putting your hand on your front door handle, ready to walk out.

You felt the handle disconnect from the door as you turned it because of your super strength. You just sighed and told yourself that you'd deal with it after work.

You walked into the Daily Planet’s building, you went directly to your boss's office. Mr. White was in that chair, as usual. You started conversing with him, with any questions or anything you had to say. But, that eventually led to you meeting your new co-workers.

You laid your eyes upon a man, he was a tall, dark, scruffy-haired, nerdy, man. You'd stare at the man for a second, then your eyes had drifted somewhere else. He couldn't think you were odd or make him uncomfortable because you had been staring too long at him. He let his hand out, for a handshake.

“I'm Clark Kent, Nice to meet you. Welcome to the Daily Planet!” He introduced himself, with a soft smile etched on his face as you shook his hand and introduced yourself to him.

As a few months went by, the romantic feelings that were shared amongst you grew louder, more palpable. A few of your fellow co-workers even noticed it. I mean, you started noticing Clark was a little softer towards you, a little more nervous, his face was a little more red. I mean, just looking at you for a few seconds when he thought you didn’t notice him! These were tell-tale signs. He liked you back, he had to...right? You decided. You’d ask him to go on a date…eventually… Just, when? That was the question. You kept thinking about it, it was on the back of your mind as you wrote articles and reports on whatever topics. I mean, building up courage is important, can’t just run into these things… You noticed him talking to Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane in the halls. He seemed a little nervous for some reason. He was walking closer to your desk. He gulped and he cleared his throat once getting closer to it. He took a deep breath.

“May I take you out on a date…?” He asked nervously, you stared at him for a second as he added “You don’t have to say yes, it’s your decision.”

“Yes! Yes! It would be amazing- I’d love to go on a date with you Clark!” You exclaimed. As you do that, you notice Jimmy and Lois watching. The two seemed proud of him, they were definitely here to support him. You hugged Clark as he said.

“Tonight at 7?”

“Yes, that’s good!” You agreed, and you were over the moon.

As the end of the work day itched closer, all you could think about was your date with Clark. Once the work day ended, Clark nodded to you and spoke. “See you at 7! I’ll text you the address to the restaurant!” as you confirmed and got the text.

When you came home, it was 4:43. You relaxed for a bit, thinking about the date. Then, started to get ready, trying on a couple outfits, asking friends for advice on things until ultimately getting an amazing outfit for the date and started driving to the restaurant.

As you got there, you saw Clark getting out of his car. When he noticed you he waved and walked to you. “Uh, Hi… You, you look absolutely stunning. You are so gorgeous…” He told you, getting slightly red.

He prompted his arm out as you took it. The both of you walked inside this fancy restaurant, it was beautiful, bustling with fancy people. It was nice. Both of you took a seat, he moved the chair for you to sit. He was such a gentleman… The date with Clark went amazing. There were no interruptions, no insane supervillain keeping everyone hostage, just.. You, nice talks, and Clark.

The next work day was amazing too, you guys were obviously so in love with each other. Even more than before you guys went on that date. You guys were acting as if you were already dating even if it was just one date. It was all smooth sailing for a few weeks, going on another date. But, You had the idea to make it official… Be an actual couple. On your third date with Clark, you decided to make it official. Ask him to be your boyfriend. As you were building up courage, Clark went to the bathroom. A minute after that you notice there is a weird group of people walking into the restaurant you are at… Those individuals had a gun! They were holding their guns out, pointing it around.

“Everyone hand over your wallet. NOW!” One of them yelled, supposedly the leader.

“Don’t even try to call the cops or something. We want everything.” Another one added.

“They don’t need to call the cops.” Superman replied, flying to the group as some people ran and called the police as they saw their saviour, superman. Superman smiled, he started beating the muggers up, tying them up and giving them over to the cops with a smile. He made sure of everyone’s safety. He truly did save the day. As Superman left, Clark came out of the bathroom.

“Sorry for keeping you waiting…” Clark said.

“Uhh, yeah. It was an event- filled time for sure. I mean, this group of people came with guns and then Superman came and saved the day… It was honestly crazy.” You explained to him everything that just happened.

“Really? Are you okay…? Uh, is everything fine?” Clark asked, nervous for you.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m fine, Clark. Don’t worry.” You calmed him down, still a little shocked about what happened.

“That’s really good to hear.” Clark nodded.

“And… uhm… Clark, I have something to ask you.” You gulped.

“Yes…?” He tilted his head.

“I’ve had really amazing times on these dates, they are so fun, and you are such an amazing guy. I’ve thought and decided to ask you this… Do you want to make our relationship official? Like, we are a couple?” You nervously asked.

“Yes! That would be absolutely lovely, I would love to!” He nodded, immediately accepting as you let out a breath that you didn’t know you were holding.

All the times after that were amazing, Clark ended up telling Lois and Jimmy. They were so happy. You both went on dates and hung out whenever you could. You had lunch at the office together and with Jimmy and Lois who teased you both about being “lovebirds” so much that Clark turned bright red out of pure embarrassment, it was truly adorable! Clark and yourself were an amazing couple. Though, you both had the same dilemma… When would they reveal to the other that they were Kyptonian instead of human? You both thought about it so much, having no one else to talk about their secret to except their self…

At the nine month mark, you decided… You were going to tell your boyfriend that you weren’t human. You texted Clark that you had something important to talk about, as you made your way to his apartment a million different thoughts raced into your head “would Clark not accept me?” “What if he breaks up?” and so many other scenarios. But, alas, you stood in front of his apartment and knocked. Clark pushed his glasses up as he let you in.

“My darling, what is the important thing you need to talk to me about? I’m all ears.” Clark softly smiled as you took a breath.

“Promise me it won’t come between us?” You asked, wanting the comfort of his confirmation.

“Of course it won’t! Nothing will, my love.” He put his hand on top of yours, as you let out one last breath.

“I’m… not human. I come from another planet called ‘Krypton’, I’m kryptonian.” You looked down, not meeting his eyes. He immediately hugged you, engulfing you in his muscular body.

“What I'm about to say might sound crazy… But, I am too. Plus, i’m also superman, dear.” He smiled as he hugged you tightly.

“Really? You’re superman? That’s… Wow.. You are also a kryptonian…? That’s…Wow…” You said in shock. “We really are made for eachother.” You said, leaning in for a kiss on his cheek.
