I do, too.

[More than he wants to show. But the feeling is always there.]

I really, really hate it.

[solarson]

( pulling back some, he rubs at his eyes with the heels of his palms. so embarrassed, damian would call him a crybaby for sure. )

Am I grounded?

[newsbeat]

You're not grounded.

[Maybe he should consult with Lois first, but Clark is taking a risk and making an executive decision.]

I could give you some extra chores if it would make you feel better.

[solarson]

( he deflates a little at that but mostly because: )

I don't think anything can make me feel better.

( with how he almost lost it and knowing he can't do anything to help so many people within a universe that's going to die. )

[newsbeat]

Time will.

[At least this is something he can speak on with certainty.]

It won't fix everything. But you will feel better, Jon. I promise.

[solarson]

( a slight hiccup, all he can do is just solemnly nod at his father's words, though he's not so sure he believes them, especially with the way he looks down. )

Ok...

[newsbeat]

[He gives Jon one more squeeze. It's okay. Clark will believe for the both of them.]

C'mon. Let's see about cleaning up together.

[solarson]

( again, he just nods and follows along but the look there in his eyes says otherwise. he's not going to be so sure or happy for some time with all this. )
