Semi-angsty, semi-cracky idea, but -

Ma and Pa are great and Clark is Clark and also he’s lived in Metropolis for ages now. So of course Clark has absolutely nothing against gay people! Of course! Heck, both of his best friends are bisexual. But… but there’s a tiny part of him that grew up in rural Kansas that says it’s okay for other people to be gay, but not him. Not Superman.

So when this kid turns up that has his face but is so, so obviously queer… Well.

Clark looks at his own ear, with earrings on, and sees his own lips, brushing against the bangs of a boy, as his own voice whispers endearments that he would never have dared to speak out loud to a boy in Smallville, and a tiny voice in his head remembers the pastor one year diverting the Christmas Eve sermon to talk about abominations, and…

And Superman flees.

#of course a year later one of those bisexual best friends is now his boyfriend #does Bruce ever thank Kon for landing him a superhunk by virtue of his very existence? no #but Tim’s pretty pleased about it so it evens out #clark kent #conner kent #superfamily #dc #mine #didja catch that ‘Kon means abomination’ reference there ☺️#also: I feel bad about referring to Diana and Bruce as Clark’s ‘two best friends’#when Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen is right there #eh. sue me #(if you’re wondering where Lois comes into this - it’s in bed with Clark and Bruce)#also also: I wrote this thinking the Kents only go to church on Christmas Eve #but realistically for social reasons they’d have to go regularly… eh. sue me
