Authors Note:Hey again everyone! I've been writing this story behind the scenes of We Know and I wasn't sure if I should post it but I thought, eh screw it. This is a new story so it is not a spin-off of We Know. This story is shorter than WK but I think I was able to make up for that in the end. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this new beginning, see you on the other side!
Chapter 1
Kara woke up this morning confused. She scanned the room, only moving her eyes to realize that she was in her bed. She groaned as the alarm clock was beeping and she reached over and smashed it to bits.
Whoops, she thought, not actually meaning it.
She rolled on to her other side and was taken aback when she saw Alex's face, resting comfortably next to her.
What was she doing here? It took Kara a minute to remember what happened last night.
Alex drove to Kara's place once she got off work, and after some pizza and ice cream, they hung out together and Alex must have spent the night.
Kara probably offered Alex to sleep in her bed. It wasn't as if they hadn't done it before, and Kara noticed that she somehow slept better knowing Alex was close by.
She smiled at Alex's peaceful face and brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes. Kara stared at Alex for seemed like hours. She hardly ever got to see her feisty sister so calm. She usually looked stressed out or too tired to do anything. Kara liked this expression better.
Kara decided to get up quick and get ready for work, and maybe make some breakfast for the brunette.
She slowly edged off the bed, careful not to disturb Alex. She stood up and pulled the covers over Alex's shoulders so she would stay warm. Now Kara thought it was time to shower.
As Kara went into the bathroom, Alex woke up.
She groggily opened her eyes, confused as to why she was in Kara's bed.
Alex flipped over to her other side and noticed the bathroom door was opened just enough she could see the mirror. Alex blushed as she saw Kara's reflection in the mirror without any clothes on. Quickly, the elder Danvers closed her eyes and ducked her head under the covers.
Her heart beat started to increase and she mentally kept chanting, Stop thinking that way, stop thinking that way!
Alex pulled the covers off her head when she heard the shower start. The brunette stretched her arms and slowly got up and gave a small chuckle as she saw the shattered clock on the night stand. She walked out of the room and entered the kitchen to start a pot of coffee.
Alex noticed the three pizza boxes were still on the counter and she smiled as she remembered last night.
Alex was heading home when she got a strong urge to see Kara. The pretty alien was happy to see her, and even more happier when she offered to buy dinner. They ate pizza, watched 'How I Met Your Mother' and laughed the whole night. Alex didn't want to leave so she pretended she was too tired to drive home, which led to Kara immediately inviting her to stay the night.
Alex finished making coffee by the time Kara was out of the shower. She sat at the counter and sipped her beverage when Kara came out, dressed in a robe.
"You can use the bathroom now if you want too." She said with a smile. Alex only smiled back and asked, "Are you sure? I don't want to use up one of your towels." She said a little awkwardly.
"It's not like you haven't before." Kara laughed.
"Okay I won't take too long, I made some coffee by the way." Alex chirped as she walked to the bathroom. Kara poured herself some caffeine and got out some eggs and bacon for breakfast. As she waited for the stove to heat up, she got dressed in her usual peppy and colorful clothes.
As Kara turned to go back into the kitchen, her eyes aimed at the bathroom.
Kara "accidentally" flicked on her x-ray vision to see Alex in the shower. Kara's jaw drops at the sight and she feels like she's going to start drooling.
Suddenly, Kara snapped herself out of it and smacked herself on the head. 'God Kara, come on! Your better then that!' Kara's cheeks grew red and she hurried along to the kitchen.
Kara made breakfast in silence and placed toast, bacon, and eggs on a two plates. Kara made her self about twice as much food then she did Alex but she knew she wouldn't care.
The brunette walked out in her clothes from last night and smiled as she saw Kara placing two plates on the dining table.
"You didn't have to make this you know" she chuckled as she sat down.
"I know, but when was the last time we had breakfast together?" Kara remarked.
"Uh last week?" Alex rolled her eyes playfully and picked up her fork. Kara sat next to her and they began to make small conversation.
As Alex spoke, it took everything in Kara's power not to break eye contact with the brunette. Specifically to look at her again with x-ray vision. They finished their meal and quickly cleaned up the kitchen.
"Hey after you get of work, do you want to stop by the DEO?" Alex asked.
"Sure, why do you ask?" Kara questioned curiously.
"I was just wondering..." Alex blushed.
Kara laughed and continued cleaning up and getting ready to leave. Alex grabbed her things and headed for the door with a chipper alien on her heels. Before she opened the door, Alex turned back to Kara and smiled.
"Thanks for having me over last night, even if it was unexpected." Alex said quietly.
"Don't worry, I like unexpected. So I'll see you tonight?" Kara chuckled. Alex simply nodded her head, "Definitely." And she quickly gave Kara a quick kiss on the cheek. Kara's knees trembled and she blushed as Alex turned and walked out the door.
Alex gave a small smile to herself as she walked to the elevator. Normally she would tell herself to stop being so flirtatious towards Kara, but this time she felt proud of how bold she was.
Kara was still shaking as she grabbed her purse and headed out to work. What a way to start the day.
Her morning went by the same way it normally does, but Kara couldn't stop staring at the clock. She waited anxiously for the day to be done so she could go to the DEO.
"Okay what is up with you?" A familiar voice said behind Kara. The alien spun around in her chair and noticed Lucy was standing behind her, with an amused look on her face.
"What do you mean?" Kara muttered.
"I mean, why are you looking so star gazed this morning? You've been staring at the clock for the last five minutes and you're hardly talking." Lucy did make some good points. Even at work Kara could hardly ever shut up. Kara looked down at her lap.
"N-no I'm fine, nothing's wrong, nothing at all." She stammered. Lucy only gave her a 'uh huh' look and folded her arms.
"Yeah right, and I'm the president. Which would be cool but that's never happening." she joked. Lucy saw Kara's face look back down to her hands. "You can talk to me Kara, I'm a pretty good listener." Lucy said reassuringly. It was then that Lucy observed Kara's infamous tell tale signs.
"Ohhh. You had an Alex moment didn't you?" She giggled. Kara's eyes snapped up to Lucy's face for a brief moment and went right back down.
"No." Kara puffed, "Why would you say that?" Kara's faced reddened as she gave a nervous chuckle. In response Lucy just rolled her eyes.
"You always act like this when you have an Alex moment. The spaced out look, the constantly red face, and your twirling your hair. We both know you only do that when you talk about a certain someone." Kara was so embarrassed, she didn't even realize she was twirling her hair.
"Pff, so what if I'm talking about Alex... that doesn't mean I had a "Alex moment" she said with air quotes.
Lucy raised an eyebrow, "Kara." She said sternly. Finally Kara admitted defeat and sighed.
"Okay fine. Alex spent the night at my place last night." She spits out and Lucy raises her hands in victory.
"HA, I knew it!" She boasts. Lucy always did love it when she was right.
Lucy smiled and sat at the edge of Kara's desk, leaning in like a preschooler at story time. "Soo did anything happen?" She said waggling her eyebrows. This caused Kara to blush even more. If her face got any more red, she would look like a cherry.
"N-no... not really. I mean she just kissed me on the cheek but... it just felt like so much more. I mean, I know it wasn't like that on her end but-" she would have continued but Lucy cut her off.
"Ah ah ah, let me stop you right there." She started raising a hand to silence Kara. "First off, how do you know she doesn't feel that way?" Lucy questioned. Kara opened her mouth to answer but again, Lucy cut her off, "Really think about it now." Kara took a moment to think but her hope was out weighed by her assumptions.
"I just know Lucy. If Alex felt the same way I do about her, then she would have let me know sooner." Kara answered sadly. Lucy only sighed and groaned.
"Or maybe she's just as scared as you are." Lucy pointed out.
Kara looked down at her feet and pouted, "I'm not scared."
"Then why haven't you said anything?" Lucy countered. When Kara didn't respond Lucy kept going, "Kara you can't keep going on like this. You don't have to constantly wait for the next time Alex is going to kiss you on the cheek. Maybe you should just close your eyes and jump. Who knows, maybe it will work out for you, and you can have something more whenever you want." Kara only closed her eyes and thought hard about being able to actually kiss Alex's lips.
"What should I do?" The Kryptonian whispered. Lucy placed a hand on Kara's shoulder, trying to comfort her.
"Tell her the truth. That's all you can do. Maybe you could take her on a secret date" Kara raised an eyebrow questioningly at Lucy, "You know, like a date where only you know it's a date, tell her there."
"Okay. I'll do it. Oh thank you Lucy!" Kara said happily as she gave Lucy a bone crunching hug.
"Ooo you're crushin meh." She rasped.
"Oh crap sorry!" Kara squeaked as she let go. "You know Lucy, you kind of remind me of Jiminy Cricket."
The two of them laughed and Lucy headed back to her desk and Kara sat down, only so she could continue staring at the clock.
