It had been raining all day in National City and the crime rate hadn't been too busy, so Kara had the night off of her Supergirl duties, much to her delight. She was supposed to have lunch with Lena, but the raven-haired CEO had had to cancel, but not without the promise of meeting up tonight for drinks. Obviously, Kara wouldn't say 'no' to meeting up with best friend for some drinks- even if they didn't do anything for her. So now all she had to do was wait. Lena had said 8 o'clock and had promised to bring the drinks herself, claiming that she was going to need the 'good stuff' tonight because of the day she'd had, and Kara had been all too eager to accept.
When there was a knock on her door Kara was there in 2 seconds, having already heard the distinct beat of her best friend's heart as she walked down the hallway. Throwing the door open wide, and easily slipping a bright smile onto her face she greeted her friend happily. "Lena! Hi, come on in!" She then stepped out of the way, and ushered Lena to the island where she could put the drinks down. Turning, and leaning her hip against the counter as she faced Lena she grinned as she asked, "How was your day?"
Lena gave a soft laugh and shook her head, a slight frown on her face as she answered. "It was long, and filled with endless meetings with old white men who like to think I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm really sorry I had to cancel lunch today, but an important meeting came up." Huffing slightly, she shrugged her shoulders in a helpless manner. Sometimes, Lena hated being the CEO. Not that she hated her job, the meetings were just endless and sometimes they were pointless. Plus, she really hated when she had to cancel on Kara, even when Kara seemed to be the most understanding person there was. "But, I did bring the promised drinks. I hope you like scotch." She added the last part and gestured with her hands toward the drinks on the island.
"Honestly Lena, it's fine! I understand you were busy." Laughing, Kara places her hand briefly on Lena's arm and squeezes gently before nodding her head and going to look for glasses. "And yeah, that's fine. I ordered pizzas for us, and no there's no kale. Because that shouldn't even be considered a food." Shuddering playfully, she returns with two glasses and holds one out to Lena, who happily accepts the cold glass. "We can head to the couch if you want?" At Lena's nod of approval, she grabs the bottle of scotch and heads to the couch, sitting on one end and tucking her legs under a blanket as Lena does the same on the other end. "Tell me more about this 'Important' meeting and how the problem could have been solved in like, two seconds if they had thought it out, I'm sure."
Lena rolls her eyes as she pours herself a drink, a laugh passing her lips as she listens to Kara before responding. "Honestly, you're not wrong. It was just a minor issue, one in which didn't need my input, but of course the two parties couldn't talk it out. I was basically playing mediator while they yelled at each other across the table." With a shake of her head she takes a sip of her drink before she continues. "I let them yell at each other for probably ten minutes, before I gave them the solution that was right there and sent them on there way. It was all I could take. But enough about that." Her free hand is waving in a dismissive manner and she fidgets slightly under the blanket trying to get comfortable. "What new stories are you working on? I know you were excited to tell me about them at lunch."
And so, Kara prattles on about her new story. She tells her about how excited she is to work on it and how even though Snapper still refuses to call her by name and insists on calling her 'Ponytail' she doesn't mind as much anymore. She only stops her story when there's a knock on the door, and after a discreet look with her x-ray vision she knows it's the pizza guys. "Pizzas here!" She exclaims happily as she removes herself from the couch and heads over to the door to pay him. Once she has the pizzas and the delivery guy is gone she brings the pizza over to the coffee table and puts it down. "Dig in. Oh! Did you wanna watch a movie?" She asks with a bright smile as she's reaching for the remote. At Lena's nod, she opens Netflix and starts looking for a movie to turn on. "Anything you want to watch?"
"Oh, whatever you want is fine." Lena answers with a nod, and leans forward to grab the bottle and fill her glass again before she grabs a slice of pizza for herself. She doesn't mention the fact that there are at least three pizzas, and only the two of them.
Kara turns on a random movie, knowing it'll mainly be background noise for their conversations, as it always is. She grabs her own slice of pizza and takes a bite out of it. Leaning back against the arm of the couch she relaxes as Lena and her fall back into conversation, The Wizard of OZ playing in the background.
The movie has finished, and most of the bottle is gone- drank mostly by Lena, Kara having forgotten hers throughout the night in favour of just listening to Lena talk- and the rain was still pouring down outside. Somehow, neither one knows how, they are much closer on the couch. Where once there was space between them, now there is hair's breadth of space left. Lena had been telling a story about the time she was in boarding school, when all of a sudden she stops talking. Her green eyes- slightly glassy from the amount of alcohol she's consumed- flick up to meet captivating blue eyes and she gives a lopsided smile. "No wonder it's all grey and gloomy outside, all the blue is in your eyes!" She gives a laugh and playfully pokes Kara on the nose.
Kara blinks and smiles widely, amused by this side of Lena, one where she smiles more, and seems more relaxed. She had been noticing it all night, the more Lena talked, and told stories, the more she seemed to come alive. She was sure the alcohol didn't hurt either. Laughing she shakes her head. "I don't think my eyes are the reason it's raining Lee."
Giggling slightly to herself, and her thoughts, Lena grins brightly, and shakes her head. "I think the sun just came out though! Or did you just smile at me?" And Kara can't help but laugh more.
Reaching out, Kara gently takes the glass out of Lena's hand, who shrugs because 'it's empty anyway'. "I think, that you may be drunk, Lena Luthor." And Kara says it so sweetly, her bright smile still in place, her eyes crinkling with laughter and it's the best thing Lena has ever heard.
Her drunk mind is enjoying this way too much, and she's laughing, and slurring her words slightly as she leans closer; their faces so close now that Kara can smell the alcohol on her breath. "I'm snot drunk, Kara, I'm just…" Lena starts before giggling halfway through, and then whispering, "intoxicated by you." And she places a playful kiss on the top of Kara's nose, before pulling away and shrugging. Kara is now blushing, her face a deep red. She decides this is her favourite version of Lena.
Kara laughs, because how could she not? "I-I'm fairly c-certain it's the alcohol Lee…" She awkwardly pushes up her glasses, tilting her head to the side to study her friend in front of her. Lena was just staring at her, bright green eyes watching, and a lopsided smile on her face as she starts giggling. "What's so funny?" Kara asks with a crinkle of her nose.
Shaking her head, Lena reaches out and tries to grab her glass back from Kara, but in her drunken state she moves a little too fast, and very uncoordinated and almost topples onto Kara. "oops." She mumbles as she moves to sit up, Kara scrambling to help her back up.
"Careful there Lena…And I think you've had enough of this." She says waving the glass around before putting it back on the coffee table.
Lena shakes her head once more, and grins widely. "Hey Karaa?" She asks as her hand loosely grips Kara's arm.
"Yes Lee?" Kara answers with another tilt of her head, highly amused by her friend tonight.
Lena's hand tightens on her arm as she leans forward, whispering her next words as if afraid someone would hear. Which was ludicrous, because they were the only ones in the apartment. "Was you father an alien? Because Kara Danvers, there is nothing else like you on this Earth." And the grin is back on her face even brighter this time as Kara stutters. Of course, she knows Kara is Supergirl, it doesn't take a genius to figure it out, which she is.
Spluttering, Kara's eyes widen at Lena's words, her cheeks going even more red. "W-what? No. Don't be silly Lee, I'm not- not an alien. Pshhh." Her free hand gestures wildly, fluttering between her glasses and her hair. And Lena is laughing that wonderful laugh that Kara loves to hear, and would do anything to hear all the time.
"Well, then did it hurt? When you fell, from heaven?" Her hand is now gently resting on Kara's cheek, her eyes shining with amusement as she watches Kara get flustered. It was her favourite way to pass time, flirting with Kara. And the poor blonde always got so flustered, honestly Lena really should just take pity on the poor woman, she had enough of a mind to know better. But oh this was too much fun, and she could just blame the alcohol tomorrow is Kara mentioned it.
"Lenaaaa, I didn't fall from heaven, I was born on- on Earth. Like a human. 'C-cause I am one." Kara laughs and shakes her head, her own hand moving to cover Lena's of it's own accord.
"Mmhm. Can I take a picture, to show my friends that angels do exist? Oh wait… You're my only friend." Laughing self-depreciatively to herself, Lena leans forward, her face once again mere inches away from Kara's. "What was heaven like, when you left?" Her words are now a whisper, and if Kara were human, she may have had a hard time hearing her. As it was, Kara was not human, despite what she had just protested.
Kara sat impossibly still, not daring to breathe as Lena was within her personal space. It would be wrong, wouldn't it? To close the distance and kiss her best friend. Blue eyes flicker to green and lock on, studying the face right in front of her, and then green eyes drop down to pink lips for just a second before flicking back up to searching blue eyes. Kara sucks in a breath, and tilts her head ever so slightly and smiles softly. Her voice is as much a whisper as Lena's as she responds. "I-I'm not an angel Lee…"
"Mmm, I suppose you aren't. But I know what you are." Kara can feel Lena's breath on her lips, and if she just tilted her head, just a hairs breadth, she could kiss her. She's pretty sure Lena wouldn't mind, and she's so close. But she refrains, and instead breathes out a response of 'What?'. "Supergirl." And Lena is closing the distance, and pressing her lips against Kara's in a tentative kiss. It's everything she thought it would be, and more. And Kara, she's responding after a second of surprise, her hand moving to cup Lena's cheeks as she deepens the kiss.
And honestly, Lena's response should shock her, should surprise her but it doesn't. And when she thinks about it later, it'll make sense, Lena is a genius after all. But right now, all Kara can think about is kissing Lena back, and the fact that Lena is kissing her. Eventually they have to part, both needing air to breathe and all Kara can say is, "Rao."
A/N: This fic got way out of hand. I only intended for it to be a 500 words crack fic with one pick up line, and well, drunk Lena ran away with it and decided she wanted to kiss Kara. So there you go. Let me know what you think of it.
