Why this must be read:

Dude. It's Jeremy/Clark.

Also, it's funny, and more than a little surreal. I mean, Jeremy. In Smallville. Covering a meteor-mutant pitcher. Clark is delightfully hustler-esque, and the tertiary characters are right on the money (including Lex, who is difficult to write, lemme tell ya).

Smallville Excerpt:

"This guy," [Chloe] hissed, stabbing her finger towards the parking lot. "Do you know him? No. You met him five hours ago. And he's old, Clark--even older than Lex."

"So?"

"So you're fifteen," Pete said. "Jailbait."

His eyes widened, and he took a step back. "Pete! Chloe, do you--is that what you think is going on here?" For a minute, he was afraid he'd overdone the innocence.

Chloe sighed. "Clark, wake up. Have you seen the way he's been looking at you?"

"And, I have to say," Pete added, "the way you've been looking back."

Clark scoffed. "He's a nice guy, and he's a visitor here. I'm showing him Smallville." Funny how easy the lies were when he kept a kernel of truth in them.

"He got stuck in the mud; saw an athlete made super-fast by the meteors; and met Lex Luthor," Pete countered, ticking them off on his fingers. "He's seen Smallville."

Sports Night Excerpt:

nb: Jeremy and Natalie on the phone.

"Hi, Natalie."

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"The game went well, thank you. I had some trouble with the interview. Isaac's going to want to have words with me when I get back."

"No, I'm asking you what the fuck you're doing. Who was that kid who answered your phone?"

"That was Clark."

"That's what he said. And how old is Clark? Twelve?"

"His mother invited me to their house for dinner, and--"

"His mother?" Her voice spiked. "Get out of Kansas, Jeremy. Get out as fast as your car will take you."

/excerpt

As stated in the first excerpt, Clark is jailbait. No explicit sex, but it is referenced as a morning-after kind of thing. Caveat lector.

Tenth Inning. I don't really do baseball, but I think that's overtime?

ps: There's a sequel, "Home Field Disadvantage," wherein Clark And Chloe Go To New York (When Clark Is Fully Of Age). To be found on Julian's site, of course.
