The Glitter Jungle:
Fiction:
Speak
Another emotionally stunted Luthor moment.
I must let it out, must force myself to spell it, to use words and language and express myself or else...
Or else I might lose him forever.
"Lex..."
So hard to push these words out of my mouth. A conscious effort of muscles, mind striving to overcome boundaries, to do what I could have never done before.
"Son."
I will find a way to say it. He looks at me, not so much patient as resigned, tiredly accepting my lingering, my inability to tell him what I came here to tell him. He probably thinks it's some elaborate scheme, a mind game. It's anything but.
"I love you, son."
