When Anatoly kissed him, Lex could have done the most unLuthor like thing possible...he could have cried with relief. He hadn't even let himself hope Anatoly would know him. But instead of tears, he just clutched at the awful suit and pulled Anatoly to him to return the kiss, with as much passion and relief he could muster.

And even when he came up for air, he couldn't let him go, sensing that Anatoly was feeling just as desperate as he was. Resting their foreheads together, Lex glanced around to make sure they were still alone before saying softly, "I'm here. Your not alone this time.Everything is going to be different, I promise."
