Wedding reception!

[chloesullivan]

[ooc: open party thread! Mingle, thread-hop, crash the party, cause drama. Whatever you feel like.]

The wedding had gone smoothly. Her dad had walked her down the isle like it should be. They had exchanged their vows and rings once more. Even if the ceremony had been just a formality, since they had been married for two weeks now, but it had still been nice to be there with their family and close friends.

After that, they had been dragged to another room in the hotel for pictures and only now were they being introduced back to their guests, this time as Mr. and Mrs. Queen.

The reception was taking place in the ballroom of the Metropolitan. The decoration was, unsurprisingly, green. Dinner would be served but drinks and appetizers were already available for those who wanted them.

Chloe just hoped his part of the day went as smoothly as the rest of it had.

"It will be fun. Come on, you need to relax a little, you've been working all day."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

"I'm perfectly relaxed, Clark! See? Breathing." She sucked in a slow breath and exhaled, just to prove him wrong.

He raised his eyebrows. "If you don't want to dance with me, go dance with Conner. He'd love it."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

She watches him a moment, then shrugs her shoulders.

"I'll go do that, then."

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

Before she can go anywhere, he touches her arm. "Lois, wait."

"Just one dance. With me."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois stops in her tracks, glancing up at him hesitantly. Aw, goddammit. He's doing those puppy dog eyes.

"Fine," she says begrudgingly, glancing around before returning her gaze to him.

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

He took her hand and lead her over to the edge of the dance floor.

"I haven't had a chance yet to tell you how beautiful you look," he said sincerely, smiling at her.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois attempted not to blush. Really she did. She also truly attempted to shoot back with some kind of sarcastic retort, but that innocent smile on his lips squelched it pretty quickly.

"Thanks," she murmured, slipping her arms around his neck and attempting a small smile.

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

"It was a beautiful wedding. They seem really happy." He put his hands on her waist and slowly started to dance with her.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

She nodded, casting a glance at the happy couple.

"They really do, don't they? It's nice, you know? They deserve it."

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

"They've been through a lot together. I'm glad they have this."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

She nodded, gaze returning to his before flitting down to his chest.

"Yeah."

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

He didn't want to make things any more uncomfortable and awkward as they already were, so he just smiled down at her, not saying much.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois, not wanting to ruin the moment, returned the smile as well. It was... nice. Giving the banter a break, even for a little while. She let out a soft sigh, attempting to relax for the moment under the gaze of those baby blues...

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

He let his green eyes rest on her face, occasionally looking down to see where their feet were.

"Lois," he said quietly, trying to get her attention.

Lois's mind was drifting, most likely to places she'd be mortified to confess. Her head perked up when she heard her name, eyebrows raised.

"Clark?"

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

Clark shook his head quickly. "Nevermind."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

"What?" she insisted, voice softening.

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

"This is nice."

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois smiled at that, nodding once.

"Yeah, it is," she replied, tipping her head towards him a bit.

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

He looked down again to make sure he wasn't about to step on her feet, then lifted his head. He gazed down at her, moving a tiny bit closer.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois could, very archaically, feel her heart pounding in her chest. She leaned closer to him, lips parting ever so slightly...

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

He licked his lips and moved in, close enough to kiss her but letting her choose whether or not to close the gap between them.

[loistheintrepid.livejournal.com]

Lois leaned in closer, lips just close enough to graze his before-

"Hn-" She sucked in a breath, wincing and pressing a hand to her stomach.

[smallvillekent.livejournal.com]

"Lois?" He kept a hand on her back, frowning down at her with concern.

"What's wrong?"
