Save Me...Not [Tag Damon Kent]

[sephora]

Sephora watched as Damon laid down next to her, his head next to her ribs as he told her that he was good with anything, that anything being whatever she wanted to do. Sephora looked down at him a moment, confused. The way he was before when he smirk at her and asked her "what now?" had been different from what he was saying now. Before he was acting arrogant and now he was acting like they were actually together. This confused Sephora and so, she decided to test the waters. "Well here's the thing, kiddo," she said while looking at him. "I don't want to be a one night stand. It's not the way I roll, thank you very much," she said before she sighed somewhat. "To be honest, I have to at least know that the guy isn't just...well...interested in getting me in bed and leaving me there. No offense to your or anything, S.B. but...you've never shown an interest in me before so...why would you now unless you just wanted my clothes off?" She asked shyly, looking over at him. She wasn't quite sure why or how this was but she was now skeptical of her Superboy. She knew that she shouldn't be and that she was accusing him of something he hadn't done, but in Sephora's life she knew that men were...tricky.

A light sigh escaped Sephora's lips and she shook her head before she fell back against her bed with a light sigh. She knew that Superboy would never use her but...she'd been around men all her life who only wanted her for one thing and he never had shown the faintest interest in her. Besides, Sephora had been used before...many times before and she'd be damned if she would let Superboy do it to her. Of course she could be an irritating female and complain to his father but...she doubted that'd change anything. If anything, Clark would probably just laugh and tell Sephora that she's got it all wrong and that he's probably just confused and blah blah blah. The man was always defending his child, not that Sephora blamed him. After all, she was often defended by her father as well. He defended her with...well...everything. The man loved her more than anything else on the planet, especially after losing his wife and Sephora loved him to. In her mind, he was the only man that she could trust with...anything and everything about her...even if she didn't.

Damon had guessed that Sephora would think how she had done, he hadn’t shown an interest in her before now, this had seemingly gone from harmless flirting to more than that within a couple of seconds, at the same time there were various reasons why it had happened. One problem was that he didn’t want to see her get hurt, also the fact that she could have been used against him was why he had kept himself away from her, however at the same time he didn’t want her to think that he didn’t want anything to do with her. That had been the reason he hadn’t done anything, the fact that he could cause her harm.

“I only did nothing before now as I was worried about hurting you,” he told her “I am superboy for gods sake, that will cause there to be a lot of people coming after you, normally I wouldn’t let it get this far, however I actually care for you, and I would hang up the cape for you.”

Sephora wasn't really sure what Superboy was going to say and to be honest, she didn't know if she really wanted to know. After all, Damon really was a sweet guy and he was amazing in her eyes. Almost perfection if he'd just be hers already, but alas, that wasn't the case. He was, after all, Superboy. He could have whoever he wanted, whenever he wanted, almost literally without question. He could go for girls, he could go for guys, he could go for both. He could want them now, later tonight, next Tuesday, next year. Hell, whenever Superboy wanted someone, Sephora was sure that he would get it, including her, which she thought was kind of sad. After all this was the child of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. This was the child of Superman, the Man of Steel. Sephora remembered when she was younger that she had the hugest crush on Clark, but that was when she was little. As she grew older she developed more of a crush on Superboy, which wasn't really something she wanted to deal with at the moment, but here it was.

After a brief moment, Superboy decided to speak. He told her that he only did nothing before this moment because he was worried about hurting her. Sephora blinked before he said that he was Superboy and it would cause a lot of people to go after her. He then said that he wouldn't normally let it get this far and said that he actually cared for her and that he would hang his cape for her. Sephora felt like hitting him and so she did before she leaned over and pressed her lips to his. After a moment, she broke the kiss and spoke to him gently. "You're so stupid, S.B." She paused a moment. "People come after me anyway...cause they think I know things about you. They already assume I'm your girl," she said just as quietly as before. "And you're going to promise me that you will never ever hang up your cape because of me, got it?" She asked, looking up at him. Her eyes narrowed at him a moment before she sighed and gently rested her hand on his chest. "I don't want innocent people to suffer because of me," she said while looking at him.

When Sephora spoke he knew that he had upset her, he could roughly work out why also, the fact that he had said he would hang up the cape for her; all he had meant by that was that he considered her more important than anything else in the world, he always had. That had been why he had saved her so often. She was special to him and therefore he didn’t want to let her get hurt. It wasn’t that he put anyone’s life lower down the level of how he saw them, he just saw her as so important that he didn’t want anything to happen to her, it was almost like no matter what the other option was, Sephora would always win out in his mind.

“I just want to keep you as safe as I can.” He told her “despite my feelings for you I had wanted to keep you safe even if it meant keeping you away from me, however I don’t know why I cannot do that anymore, not to you or myself Sephora, I care too much about you to simply act like it is nothing. I understand you wanting me not to hang my cape up, but all I was meaning was you matter more to me than anything, if me being a hero put you at unneeded risk for knowing me I would lose the cape before I allowed myself to lose you,”

Sephora waited for his rebuttal. She waited for him to ask or say anything. To be honest, she just wanted to hear him talk to her. She had spent most of her life being his best friend and she wanted to be more now but...from what it seemed like despite how Superboy had always wanted more, he had never gone for it. Sephora understood, but at the same time, wanted him to, well, confess his feelings for her. Tell her that she mattered to him or...or something! Hell. She hadn't exactly been wanting to be with other guys. She did it to try and make him jealous but apparently that's not exactly how it worked out, apparently. He had never shown any sort of...romantic or sexual interest in Sephora and as such she just...felt...like his friend. When she hit on him tonight, she hadn't expected anything to happen of it, honestly, but something had happened and it seemed that Superboy had a thing for her after all.

Sephora blinked when he said that he wanted to keep her as safe as he could and that despite his feelings, he wanted to keep her safe even if it meant keeping her away from him. He then said that he wasn't sure why he couldn't do it anymore. He said that he cared too much to act like it was nothing and that he meant that he mattered more to her than anything when he said that he would hang his cape for her. To be honest, all of this was really sweet and it made Sephora feel a lot more special to Superboy than she had before. She leaned forward and kissed him softly, unable to help herself. "You really are the sweetest, you know that?" She asked before realizing that he'd respond. She put her hand up to silence him. "Don't talk," she said as she leaned forward and kissed him once again.

Damon had to admit that he didn’t think that there was any chance of there being anything happen between himself and Sephora, after all he hadn’t thought that there had been anything between them that had been anything romantic, after all they had just been friends, therefore it would not be something that you would expect, it hadn’t been like he had been flirting with her a lot, that had only been because he had been pushing her away, he didn’t want to see her get hurt, that was something that he had tried his best to do, however it didn’t appear that could be the case.

When she responded to him he had to admit that he was not expecting what had been what had happened, when she kissed him he kissed her back, however he had allowed her to control the kiss so that it didn’t seem like he was pressurising her. “So what do you want to do now?” he asked her “do you want to sit and watch TV or do something else?”
