"Well thank you very much girls for displaying how awful our family dinners are." Eliza smiled, How has this woman not run away by now?
"(Y/n) is no angel." Kara protested. "She has a ghost in her restaurant and she is totally freaked out by it. "
(Y/n) felt her eyes narrow dangerously glaring at the woman who looked at her with glee whilst picking up her peas with her fork.
"Kara kissed Lena and now she won't talk to her because she is a massive coward." The chef smiled watching as the peas escaped everywhere from her now lopsided fork a loud gasp filled the air, as both Eliza and Alex stared at her.
"What!" Alex scoffed a laugh caught in her throat as she stared at her sister a half smirk on her face.
(Y/n) sighed turning to her. "You already know this I told you after Lena told me."
" I knew letting you two move to National city would mess with your heads. " Eliza fretted. "What is happening in your lives it sounds like a Shakespeare play."
" These things never did happen in Metropolis. " (Y/n) mused.
"Why do I have the feeling that you fit in very well with Alex and Kara?" Eliza asked amused.
" I just like them is all. "
"I think it's a little more than like." The older woman smiled at her, switching her gaze to Alex knowingly.
" Well, there is no doubt about that. " The chef shrugged.
"Alex dear jealousy is normal but you shouldn't let it ruin your relationship and Kara if you like Lena tell her." Eliza picked up her fork again happy with her advice.
(Y/n) sat back down in her chair leaning over to Alex to whisper. "Are all your family dinners like this? I'm not used to the warmth I'm stuck with Cat the ice queen."
Alex chuckled. "Some go smoother than others."
"So (Y/n) do you approve of the dinner?" The older woman asked anxiously.
" Mom (Y/n) is not judging your cooking. " Alex sighed burying her head in her hands.
"Well, maybe she could give some pointers."
Okay (Y/n) impress the hopefully future mother-in-law no bad criticism. "Well I would say there is no need to chargrill your peppers before you stuff them, just stuff them and then put them into the oven, you don't want them too well done, the peppers become mushy and tasteless."
"Are they tasteless?" Eliza asked
"Err no I...I meant that...Alex a little help please." ( Y/n) pleaded.
"You did ask for pointers Mom" Alex shrugged.
"That is you helping?"

"So this is unexpected." (Y/n) whispered softly into the dark of all the things to expect she had not thought of this.
"I know I'm so sorry," Alex spoke back disappointed.
" Hey screw you, Alex, this was my room too I was not being evicted because you wanted to impress your girlfriend! " Kara called out. "And don't you two even think about doing anything I will kick your butts out the window so fast you won't have time to blink"
(Y/n) rolled her eyes. "Damn I was so looking forward to sex with my girlfriend in the same room as her sister, you really need to get a better opinion of me Kara, that's way too gross."
"Why are you two even in here?" Kara pouted like a child who hadn't gotten the gift she had spent months asking for on Christmas morning.
"Because this was my room first Kara!" Alex replied.
"This is getting way too childish." (Y/n) sighed, as soon as they had entered the house Alex and Kara had seemed to regress back to childhood and it was wearing thin, it was cute for about five minutes now she wanted to throw a pillow at each of them and keep the room to herself.
"Tell her." Alex shot.
"No, tell her (Y/n)." Kara squealed.
"You two suck, shut up and go to sleep." (Y/n) snapped finally when she couldn't take anymore.
The silence settled around them, the soft nighttime sound from the open window filled the room around them lulling away any unease and anger, a gentle breeze of soft smelling cologne that belonged exclusively to Mother Nature soothed them.
"Is it really obvious to everyone that I like Lena?" Kara suddenly asked softly to no one in particular.
"Yeah, it is." (Y/n) replied a smile on her face.
"But she is dating that Bruce guy."
"So she isn't married to him, tell her how you feel."
"Is that really the best advice (Y/n)" Alex asked cautiously, it seemed far too liberal for her, anyone who wasn't married was fair game for anyone, did that mean she felt the same about them? her insecurities reared their ugly heads again, ruining everything she had worked to keep.
"Well it's better than waiting for the wedding right, no one wants that drama, I already look around when the priest guy says Is there anyone who objects, speak now or forever hold their peace." (Y/n) shrugged wondering whether she had seen one too many movies in her life, if she was waiting for the dramatic moment even during a wedding, or maybe it was something that happened to everyone.
"I just think this is a really dangerous line to walk down." Alex chose her words carefully. "That means we're all up for grabs unless we have a ring on our fingers, and relationships should be a little more complex than that, a little bit more committed."
"What are you talking about I'm telling Kara to say how she feels now before all legal stuff happens and you are going off on some strange road only you seem to be on."
"I just want to be clear that marriage isn't the only thing that should keep us faithful and devoid of that available label."
(Y/n) frowned, her eyes now on the almost silhouetted figure of Alex, her eyes lit partially by the moon that sneaked through the window, she was looking up at the ceiling a worried expression on her face, suddenly it clicked, How can she still think this?
She leaned closer to her hoping Kara was not engaged in her super hearing. "Stop thinking negative things, this only applies to these two because Lena is in love with Kara too."
What!" Alex almost shouted she had never seen this coming.
"Yeah what!" Kara screamed unbelievingly.
"Oh for fuck's sake, is there no privacy around here anymore?"
"There never really was." Alex chuckled.
"She loves me?"
Trying to shrug off the knowledge that Lena was going to kill her in a very slow and very painful way, and she could, she could invent something that would do the trick. "Err yeah, but she has never told me I just know her."
"So you could be wrong?" Kara stumbled over her words, a deep glow in her heart burning for (Y/n) to be right.
"I could be but I'm not."
"I need to clear my head!" Kara suddenly spoke slipping through the window and flying out into the night, the revelation had been extremely unexpected, she had no idea what she should do with the news.
"She sure does know how to make an exit." (Y/n) laughed before leaned over Alex and running her finger lightly across her cheek. "Listen negative Nelly it's true I believe everyone is fair game before they get married that is just common knowledge but do you know what I would say if someone came up to me and declared they were in love with me do you know what I would say?"
Alex looked up into her (e/c) eyes getting lost in their deepest depths was an easy thing to do, a favorite pleasure of hers. "What would you say?" She whispered harshly her words catching in her throat at the sight of her.
"I'd say cool but I'm in love with my beautiful, sweet, kind, enchanting, smart, lovable sometimes moody in the morning's girlfriend who has a killer ass and I'd show them the door, politely, of course, I'm not a heartless bitch."
"Even if it was Jane Ramos?" Alex smirked.
(Y/n) dramatically rolled her eyes from side to side murmuring for effect pretending to think over her decision, Alex laughed pushing her lightly away.
"I love you, Alex, I shouldn't have to keep saying it but because it's true I will say it all day every day because I love the sound of your name on my tongue."
"Why do you have to hit me with the innuendo right now?" Alex groaned uncomfortably.
"Just keeping you on your toes."
"(Y/n)."
"Yes."
"I love you, you have no idea how much."

Alex hadn't been all too eager to play tour guide but (Y/n) had convinced her with a big smile and a soft twist of her arm, neither had heard Kara return the night before but when they awoke it was to find Kara sleeping hovering just above them.
"So this is a super small town." (Y/n) smiled as she looked through the small store.
"I guess so, you don't really notice until you leave and then come back."
(Y/n) watched her confused by her sudden quietness, she'd never seen her like this before in all the time she had known her, which admittedly wasn't that long but still, this was new, her eyebrows furrowed together as though she was contemplating something, her dark brown eyes held the potential for a storm.
She wanted to ask her what was wrong but maybe she was just generally in a bad mood and wouldn't want to dwell on it and make a big deal about it, so instead (Y/n) threaded her arm through hers and placed a soft kiss on her cheek that seemed to thaw her a little.
"Why are you so uptight today?"
"I'm kinda nervous I guess about meeting someone who knew me, I've never had this before oh Hi this is my girlfriend, and they are shocked."
"Oh that meeting, but you know all the people who are important to you know and support you so what does it matter, they are people who aren't in your life anymore for a reason."
"Hmm, I guess so."
"Do you want me to back off be more friend than a girlfriend."
"What no way!" Alex pulled her closer. "I'm not ashamed of who I am and I'm not ashamed of you, I'm just thinking way too much."
(Y/n) smiled. "Okay."
"OMG Alex, Alex Danvers." Someone called from behind, they both turned around Alex cringing getting ready for the tension to begin, she groaned inwardly when she realized just who it was.
"It's me Vicki remember."
"Yeah hi Vicki."
"You have seriously changed so much." The woman smiled suddenly noticing (Y/n) she turned her questioning gaze onto her.
"Hi Alex is seriously bad with introductions, I'm (Y/n)." She smiled, there was no need for explanations that wasn't her place and she didn't want to make Alex feel anymore uncomfortable than she clearly was, she nudged her out of her silence.
"Oh yeah (Y/n) this is an old friend of mine from high school Vicki Donahue."
"Nice to meet you." She smiled.
An awkward silence passed between the three women, (Y/n)'s eyes searching for something to latch onto to make the time go faster, so the awkward moment would end.
"So..."
"So.." Say something Alex you're killing me here.
"Are you back in town for the reunion?" The mousy haired woman asked.
"Reunion?"
"Yeah, our high school reunion tomorrow night."
"I didn't know, I guess I didn't get the email."
"Oh, so I guess you aren't coming?"
"Err well I mean... I guess not... I'm not here for long it's just a flying visit," Alex spoke anxiously, (Y/n) frowned confused.
"Well you should come anyway it will be cool to catch up after so long, I gotta go I left my fiance outside he really gets moody when he is kept waiting." She laughed.
"Oh yeah, I totally know what you mean." (Y/n) laughed with her knowingly.
"Yeah, your boyfriend the same way?"
"Errr....boyfriend..hmmm."
"It's me she is talking about me she and I are dating I am a Lesbian we have sex!" Alex suddenly blurted out loudly.
(Y/n) blushed making Kara envious of just how red her cheeks could turn. "Wow, thanks for broadcasting it loudly Alex." She turned around self consciously seeing the curious eyes on them.
"Wow okay, so you're Gay."
"Yes."
"And you too." She looked to (Y/n), who furrowed her brows.
"Hey, I already came out of my closet I'm not standing in another one you know." She protested sometimes she hated the assumption she was something she wasn't, many times in her life her bisexuality had been erased based on who she was dating at the time if she had a boyfriend she was straight and if she had a girlfriend she was a Lesbian despite the fact she had explained until her face turned blue and she had fought for breath that she was always Bi no one understood.
"So you will come to the reunion?" She asked again.
Alex looked to (Y/n) looking for an excuse to say no, she knew her girlfriend would not be attending her reunion anytime soon, or in the near future it wasn't her thing she had Lena and that was all she wanted to reminisce about, she thought she would see reluctance instead she saw her smile and nod her head.
"We'll be there."
Oh (Y/n) what the hell have you just done, this is going to be very painful!
