Summary
When Lex first comes to Smallville, it's not the meteor mutants or his father that keeps him up at night. It's the crickets, but not for the reasons you'd think.

Bookmark Notes:
Lex won't recall the day of the week that he first nearly died in Smallville. It was a weekday, which he only knew because the office staff was waiting for him and they hadn't been forced to come in on a weekend to do so.
There are a lot of details that Lex won't recall. The sun was shining, but he doesn't know if the sky was clear or riddled with small, innocuous clouds. He knows the river was cold and deep and clean, but he can only really recall the warm press of Clark’s mouth against his, Clark's hand against his chest.
They'll tell him afterward that there was a roll of baling wire in the middle of the road that he swerved to miss. He will never correct them, never tell anyone he has no memory of any such obstacle in the road. What Lex remembers is the initial confusion when he first sees a cricket on his dashboard and the fear (for his sanity, for his safety), when the insect calmly told him, "You should probably slow down before you--"
As Lex walks away from the riverbank hours after the accident to get into the waiting rental car, all he'll remember from before the crash was the cricket's scream of terror and afterwards, Clark.
