Haven't you done a story like that? Or am I mistaking yours for someone else's? I think the summary went like this. A young Clark learns in the future that he is destined to have a lover and they'll be super-famous throughout the galaxy (I think there were bronze statues of them...and Clark saw them). And his friends of the future make hints but never really tell him who it's going to be.

I remember that one! The difference is that Clark in that story was told he was destined to end up with Batman, who was portrayed as a gorgeous blond guy who looked nothing like the dark-haired stranger Clark later runs into and finds himself falling for. :) So he tries not to fall in love with Bruce because he knows his "destined lover" is someone else--and is head over heels by the time he finds out it's actually been Bruce all along. :)

I do like stories where they're already friends and then they meet versions of themselves that say they'll be lovers! But in that case they usually secretly already want to be lovers, so it isn't going against what they want.

I'm hoping Pak has more time to relax and fill in those spaces than Abrams took with Kirk and Spock! Comics don't have to be nonstop action, he should have some space to stretch out a bit...
