Every time.

I promise I won't judge

"Well I'm sure she's on h—" Mon-El starts, only to get interrupted by five knocks at the door. "—I'm sure she's currently at the door"

"Finally, I'm starving" I remark, as I quickly make my way to the door. I can practically feel Mon-Els grin from behind me. It amazes me how he's not falling apart right now.

"Hey!" I exclaim excitedly to the sight of my sister on the other side of the door.

"Hi" Alex replies moving forward to give me a hug. "I brought the wine" she adds smiling a little, although it didn't quite meet her eyes. I'll question her about that later.

"Of course you did" I reply smiling softly. "Now come in I'm starving"

"Of course you are" Alex remarks as she makes her way inside.

"Hey!" Mon-El exclaims excitedly as he makes his way towards us.

"Hi!" Alex replies with the same tone, as she moves in for a hug. —Okay, but when did this happen?— "I've got something for you" Alex says, as she pulls away and grabs a small glass vile tube which contains a purple liquid. "For your headaches" Alex adds as she hands Mon-El the vile.

"Thank you" Mon-El responds with a genuine dimple showing smile. The memorable moment, was ruined by the grumbling of my stomach. "I guess that means it's time to eat" Mon-El remarks chuckling gingerly.

"What movie would you ladies like to watch?" Mon-El ask, as he moves back onto the couch with a bowl of steamy fresh popcorn.

"Anything but terminator one or two" I remark looking my gaze directly onto Alex.

"Uh fine, um what about The boy in the stripped pajamas?" Alex suggest.

"You know that movie always makes me cry!" I exclaim.

"All the good movies are supposed to make you cry" Alex retorts, as she reaches for the remote and proceeds to play the movie.

Well at least I'm not the only one who balled their eyes out. I find it very weird the Mon-El doesn't mind crying over a movie, but when it comes to crying over his emotions he choices to keep it to himself.

"Well this has been fun, but I'm gonna head out before I drown in tears" Alex states, as she gets up, gives us quick hugs, and makes her way out the door.  Before I can even protest. I guess I'll be talking to her later than I expected.

"How wasn't she crying?" Mon-El ask wiping away the strays tears from his face.

"That's just Alex. She projects this strong guarded persona, but she's a real softie inside" I state, causing Mon-El to nod in understanding standing.

"I'm gonna go get cleaned up" Mon-El declares sniffling softly, as he begins to get up from the couch.

"Mon-El" I call out before he even took two steps away from the couch. "Sit, please" Mon-El complies."Can we talk about what happened earlier?" Right as I finish my sentence Mon-Els shoulders stiffen immediately.

"Kara...I'm fine. I promise" Mon-El starts, moving his gaze down.

"If you were truly fine you'd be making eye contact" I state, as I lean towards him and bring my hands down to cup his cheeks gracefully, and slowly bring his gaze back up to mine. "...you're allowed to be a mess. I promise I won't judge" I whisper soothingly.
