Can I Stay With You?

Start from the beginning
                                    

Kara loved it.

"I will never get over this place." Kara stated as she took in her surroundings. She plopped her bag down on the couch as she walked but Lena scooped it up immediately.

"Here," she smiled, lugging it over her shoulder and shuffling across the floor in her socks, "you're not sleeping on the couch."

"Oh, am I sleeping with you?" Kara asked on instinct, forgetting that Lena probably has too many guest bedrooms to count. She felt her face turn hot immediately and a blush began creeping up her neck.

Lena, always one to take control of a flustered Kara, stopped her shuffle and turned with a smirk. "That depends," she practically growled, stepping into Kara's orbit. At some point Kara stopped breathing and sucked her lower lip between her teeth. "Do you want to sleep with me, Kara?" she practically growled out. Her hand had landed on the collar of Kara's shirt and she was adjusting it.

Kara swore she could feel a slight tug, as if Lena were pulling her closer.

But Lena's eyes were still on Kara's collar and Kara didn't know how to answer the question without overstepping. Sure, they flirt a lot and of course things like this have happened before. But never in Lena's apartment. Never with a tangible bed literally steps away. Never with Lena looking so soft yet so hungry at the same time.

When Lena's eyes did leave Kara's collar, grip still tight, they immediately landed on her lips. Lena's own lips fell open just so at the sight.

"I uh- I," Kara sputtered again. Only Lena Luthor could make her brain malfunction so many times in one day.

"Just nod, Kara," Lena instructed in a low voice as her head inched ever so close to Kara, the duffle bag sliding off her shoulder in the process and hitting the ground with a thump. "Nod if you want me to keep going."

Kara could feel the words on her lips as Lena spoke them. She swallowed the lump in her throat and let herself take a breath as she slowly nodded her head, her own eyes dropping to Lena's parted lips.

With the confirmation the corners of Lena's lips curved up into a small smirked as she confidently closed the distance between them.

Kara's hands landed on Lena's hips on instinct, pulling her closer. A small sigh fell from Lena's lips as their bodies collided, probably much harsher and much faster than Kara intended. Lena's arms snaked around Kara's neck as she pressed even further into the kiss.

After what felt like both the longest and shortest moments of Kara's life, Lena pulled back. Her breaths were quick and her lips plump. Her eyes were closed but she was smiling.

Kara leaned back in and bumped her nose to Lena's, effectively getting her to open her eyes. It was as if she were daydreaming, or savoring the moment maybe. "Hey." Kara breathed out, her own smile matching Lena's.

"Hey." Lena spoke back with a small laugh.

"Why, exactly, have we never done that before?" Kara questioned with her brows scrunched together.

"Kara," Lena laughed once more, "I have been trying to do that for years."

Kara's eyes widened at the confession, "No you haven't!"

"Ever since little Miss. Kara Danvers walked into my office with star reporter Clark Kent, yes Kara, I have." she admitted, her candor making Kara blush once again. "You can't honestly say you didn't catch any of my hints? I haven't exactly been the most subtle."

Kara just leaned in for another kiss, not believing a single thing she was hearing. If what Lena was saying was true then it told Kara two things. One, Kara is extremely oblivious and two, Alex has extremely spectacular gaydar.

"Apparently I am more oblivious than I thought." Kara admitted with a giggle once they parted.

"Well, you're not the most subtle either, Kara. Not with any part of your life." Lena raised a brow knowingly, reaching up to run a thumb along the rim of Kara's glasses which still lay firmly on her face.

Kara just bowed her head, blush growing even redder, "Alex is two for two." she commented.

"She said you liked me, which I told her was crazy because you're well, you're you." Kara pulled Lena's body even closer as if not wanting to give up any part of the moment. "And she said you are way too smart not to catch on to the other secret." Kara refrained from stating it upfront, wanting Lena to confirm it first.

As if reading her mind, Lena slowly pulled the glasses from Kara's face and dropped them on the counter beside them. Then, she cupped Kara's cheek and pulled her face close, "You have a very smart sister, Supergirl. You should listen to her more often." she grinned, capturing Kara's lips again.

Kara smiled back into the kiss, "Don't let her hear you say that." Kara warned with a mumble against Lena's lips as they got lost in one another.

1:43am-

Kara: You were right.
Alex: I'm right about a lot of things.
Kara: Lena.
Alex: So my plan worked.
Kara: What plan?
Alex: Everyone's couch is available.

Kara rolled her eyes and set the phone back on the bedside stand. But ultimately she couldn't find it in herself to be mad at her sister. Especially not when Lena's naked body is pressed up against her side in the king sized bed.
They should fix the pipes more often.
