Savin Me 3

Pairings: Clark/Harry/Lex, Draco/Chloe

Harry sighed and turned over. Even after storming out of the Talon and half way home, he couldn’t erase the warmth and soothing feel of Clark’s hand on his. Draco had been no help, but at least the blonde had been able to Apparate them home without splinching either of them.

Once they had reached their home safely, Harry had tore himself away from Draco, and raced upstairs. Slamming the door, he had tossed himself on the bed. And here he was, tossing and turning because of the feelings that were burning in his gut. Yes Clark was another male, but Harry had never expected to feel something for anyone anymore… after the death of his trusted friends, he had never expected to feel at all.

Groaning, he covered his face with his hands. How could he even think about facing Clark again, let alone anyone else. He must have looked like such a fool.

Realizing there was nothing he could do about it tonight, he got out of bed and got comfortable on the floor. Focusing his mind, he reinforced his shields and slowed his breathing. Once he was calm again, Harry climbed back into bed. Pulling the light blanket over himself, he couldn’t help but wonder why Clarks touch had felt so much like coming home.

Clark sighed and tried to focus on his school work. Who ever knew being a senior was so tough? Closing his eyes he rubbed at his forehead, unable to rub away the look of pain and despair that had clung to the enigmatic Harry Potter.

Harry Potter. There was something about that boy that just made every protective instinct that Clark had scream. Something had gone wrong in his past, very wrong. While Clark could feel the possibility for greatness in Harry, he could also sense that Harry didn’t see it in himself.

Being an alien had it’s perks though. When school started in the morning, he’d be able to pick Harry out of the crowd with no worries. Now all he had to do was keep Harry from running away from him again. Maybe Clark could talk to Draco…the blonde seemed to understand at least a little bit of the pain that clung to Harry.

Making up his mind, Clark yawned. Tomorrow would be soon enough to talk to Harry and Draco.

(Now I was going to leave it at that, but I’m nice :p )

While Harry tossed and turned and Clark fumbled at his chemistry homework, Lex Luthor was busy. He couldn’t help but wonder why this boy had claimed his attention. Ever since Clark’s freshman year, the Kansas farm boy had been all Lex could think about. But now that he knew of Clarks feelings for someone else, he couldn’t help but wonder who his rival was.

Harry Potter. From England of course, but even still there didn’t seem to be anyone matching his description. It’s as if Harry Potter never really existed.

And if there was anything Lex liked more than Clark, it was a mystery.

And Harry Potter was proving to be a mystery. Without even seeing this boy, Lex was drawn to him. He only knew that he had to get close to Harry before Clark found out. If he couldn’t have Clark, then he would make sure no one could.

With a sigh, Lex closed his laptop. It was going on 3 in the morning, and while he didn’t really have to do anything tomorrow, morning would be here before he knew it. And he had to meet Harry Potter after school let out. Destiny was about to get a change of plans.

“Hey Harry, I’m sorry about last night. I didn’t mean to scare you,” Clark spilled in a rush as he propped himself up beside the shorter teens locker.

“No it was my fault. I’m sorry. I guess it’s an English thing, I just really don’t like sudden touches… they startle me,” Harry admitted, brushing his bangs out of his eyes and smiling up at the farm boy.

“I didn’t mean to intrude in your space. Um, not to change the subject but did you ask your Uncle if I could come over?” Clark asked, flushing slightly.

“Oh yeah, he said it would be fine. Actually he thought it would be a great idea. He thinks I need to make more friends.” Harry smirked slightly, remembering the lecture from the night before.

“I see. At least I think I do. So is today a good day?” asked Clark, risking a glance at the shorter teen.

“I don’t see why not, after all we only have a few more weeks until our final exams. The more practice we get, the better we’ll do on them,” Harry responded philosophically.

“True, hey have you seen Chloe lately? She was supposed to meet us here this afternoon.” Clark asked, changing the subject as he registered the fact that Chloe wasn’t where she was supposed to be.

“No, and I haven’t seen Draco since lunch, he said he had to meet up with her to finish his interview, do you think they’re still talking?” Harry asked, green eyes going wide as he realized that Draco had been stuck with Chloe all afternoon.

“There’s only one way to tell. Let’s go check the Torch’s office, maybe they’re still there.” Clark suggested, resisting the temptation to take Harry by the arm and lead him there.

Outside of the Torch, Clark paused. Drawing Harry to a stop, he motioned the smaller boy to be silent. From inside the office, raised voices were heard muffled through the door. Of course Clark could clearly hear what was being shouted, but he didn’t know that Harry could as well thanks to a softly mumbled spell.

After it had grown quiet, Clark bit back his laughter and looked down at the shorter teen. “I think it’s safe to enter, shall we?” He gestured to the door before throwing it open.

The occupants jumped as the door slammed against the wall. Both teens that were inside sprang apart, and flushed brightly as their friends looked at them in shock.

“What is going on here?” Harry demanded, watching the Malfoy heir flush pink.

“N..nothing,” Draco stuttered, not able to look Harry in the eye.

“Chloe?” Clark asked softly, unable to hide the gleam of understanding in his blue eyes.

“It’s nothing Clark,” Chloe sighed, feeling a little hurt.

“Draco, it’s okay to have feelings for her. I promise I don’t mind,” Harry whispered, kneeling in front of the frozen dragon.

Without saying a word, Draco reached out and hugged Harry tightly. Before the other occupants could get worried (or jealous) he released him before turning to Chloe.

“You guys wanted to know what’s going on? Chloe and I were getting acquainted. We have loads in common and I think she likes me,” Draco stated, feeling slightly ill at exposing himself this way.

“I do like you Draco,” Chloe agreed, coming to stand beside him. Reaching out, she grasped his hand and held it softly.

“That’s great news guys, I’m glad you found each other,” Clark remarked, sparing a glance at the befuddled green eyed teen standing behind them.

“So am I,” Harry affirmed, “ But now is not the time for this, we really need to leave before we’re locked inside,” He murmured before heading to the door.

The other three teens followed as he took the lead and led them out of the school. Coming down the steps, he stopped in shock. There, standing beside a fancy black car was the most intimidating person he’d had ever seen. This muggle exuded wealth and power like the Malfoy heir used to. He knew what he was and what he wanted. And yet his gaze was stuck on Harry, as if Harry were a priceless artifact that the stranger wanted for his collection.

Both were interrupted from their staring contest by someone clearing his throat from behind Harry.

“Lex. What a …pleasant surprise,” Clark said softly, a soft bite in his voice belying the truth of the statement.

“Isn’t it just? I’ve missed you Clark, so I figured I’d swing by and see what you’ve been up to. I didn’t know you had company though. Speaking of company, aren’t you going to introduce me to your little guest?” Lex asked, his voice a velvet purr as he stalked closer to the small teen.

“Of course. This is Harry, Harry Potter. Harry, this is Alexander Luthor, or Lex as he prefers to be called. We’ve been friends since my freshman year,” Clark explained, calming down the jealousy that arched in him as Lex took Harry’s hand and brushed a kiss over the back of it.

Harry was his, damnit! And he didn’t want to share him with anyone, especially not that bald barbarian.

Biting back a growl of rage, Clark stamped down hard on the angry feelings he was feeling. “Actually Lex, we’ve got to go now. You know us Highschoolers, it’s always one big test after another. We’re going back to Harry and Draco’s to study. Would you like to come?” He asked before realizing what he was doing.

‘Please say no, please say no, please please please!’ He begged silently as Lex seemed to consider the offer.

“Actually, that sounds like a very good idea. And after you study we can all get better acquainted,” Lex purred, brushing another kiss on Harry’s hand before releasing it.

“I’ll see you in a while,” Harry murmured, totally befuddled.

“Come on Harry, let’s get you home before something else happens,” Draco sighed and dropped Chloe’s hand. Taking the BWL by the arm he gently steered him down the street towards their home.

“I don’t want to be rivals with you Clark, but I will have that boy,” Lex whispered as he watched the teens disappear down the road.

Clark’s head shot up and he turned back and stared at Lex. Lex noticed and gave him a faintly mocking salute.

Knowing that the war had just begun, Clark quickened his pace.
After all, All is fair in love and War, right?

A few notes so you don’t get confused,

1. I did start out and say that this may be a Draco/Oliver Queen story, but Chloe interrupted that idea. She seems to think that if Harry gets Clark AND Lex, then she wants Draco.

2. I don’t really like Lana. But I’m going to try and be fair to her character. This Lana likes Clark, but not as a boyfriend. And she seems to have the same idea Lex has, if she can’t have him, no one should. Therefore she’s jealous and angry at Harry.

3. Right now, Lex and Clark are both going to be vying for Harry’s heart. They don’t know that our little Gryffindor has more love in his heart than expected. They don’t realize that Harry could and will love them both equally.

4. Hermione and Ron were killed in the search for the Horcruxes. The magical backlash that beat the hell out of Harry killed both of them. While the Horcruxes are destroyed, Harry has a lot of guilt on his soul for the death of his friends.

5. Severus is like an Uncle to Harry, and has been since the Ministry granted Severus custody or Guardianship after the death of the Headmaster.

6. Lucius Malfoy is dead, Narcissa Malfoy is not. But she does have a bed next to the Longbottoms at St. Mungos. The prognosis of her return to full mental capacity if very grim, therefore it’s easier for Draco to consider her dead.

7. Harry likes Clark. Clark is someone he could and does trust, he just doesn’t know it yet! LOL But Lex spoke to a more primal urge in Harry. Harry is confused on that note, but he does want to spend more time with him, and when Lex kissed the back of his hand, he was too startled to pull away.

Let me know what you guys think, okay?

Later!
