Tumblr prompt - Superfamily + dogs all cuddled up with each other and Lena thinking "this is nice"
I had several fluffy morning prompts so I kinda melded several together for this one! Mostly Supercorp fluff with a little Lexi thrown in!
Lena can feel something tickling her nose.
She shakes her head to brush it away, but that only tickles worse, drawing her slowly out of her dreams.
There's an inhuman warmth pressed to her front, a warmth that can only belong to Kara; and the thought brings a slow smile to her face. Her eyes open to a faceful of blonde hair, no doubt the culprit of the tickling sensation, and she brings up a hand to smooth it down. The early morning tangles are pliant under her fingertips, and she brushes them until they're no longer against her face, threatening to make her sneeze at any moment. Once she's satisfied, she snuggles closer, slipping her arm back under the blanket and around her wife's waist - teasing up under her t-shirt to linger on the warm skin of her abdomen.
With a sluggishness that only comes when she's half asleep, Kara rearranges he own arm until it's draped over Lena's, clumsily linking their fingers together.
"G'morning." Kara's voice is rough with sleep, and Lena can't help but smile, nuzzling her face int the once offensive hair, breathing in the scent of Kara's lavender shampoo.
"Good morning, I didn't mean to wake you."
"Mmm." Kara tugs her hand closer until they're completely pressed together, Kara's back to Lena's front. " 'S okay, what time is it?"
Lena leans over Kara to pat for her phone on the nightstand, squinting at the blurry numbers.
"7:26."
"Just a few more minutes." Kara mumbles, turning into the pillow.
Lena has every intention of staying awake, but the lull of Kara's even breathing lures her in, and the next thing she knows she's blinking awake to the sound of light thunder.
She looks at the time again.
8:30.
She groans, nuzzling her face between Kara's shoulder blades and digging her fingers into warm skin. All too soon Lexi will be awake, and the dogs will be ready to go outside . . .
Her saving grace is that it's Sunday, and Sundays are the Luthor-Danvers family's official off day, with L-Corp closed for business and J'onn taking over Supergirl duties.
"Is it time to wake up?" Kara's voice is still sleepy, but it's lost some of it's gravel.
"We probably should."
Kara begins wiggling, and at first Lena is about to protest, because when she said it was time to get up, she didn't mean right this second; and she isn't quite ready to let go of Kara's warmth and face the day. But Kara is only rolling over, her left arm digging awkwardly under Lena's body until Kara has her wrapped in a tight, hug, her head laying softly on Lena's chest.
This is her favorite part, she thinks. Waking up next to Kara. She feels as if she can face anything after waking up like this.
"Comfortable?" She teases, her fingers coming up to tangle in blond locks as she presses a kiss to Kara's forehead.
"Mhmm."
"We really should get up." She says after a moment, because someone has to, and it seems to be up to her to be the responsible one this morning.
"Don't wanna." Kara mumbles against her sternum.
"We can make pancakes." She prods, fingers dancing their way up Kara's spine. "Chocolate chip pancakes."
Kara raises her head at that, blue eyes sparkling.
"Have I told you I love you?"
"Hmm," Lena tilts her head, pretending to think. "Not this morning."
"I love you." Kara grins, before leaning forward to press their lips together. "Like I really, really love you."
"I love you too." They kiss again, but Lena breaks it off before Kara can deepen it. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
"I really don't care." Kara pushes back against the hand on her chest but Lena staves her off.
"I care." She insists, and Kara's lips twist into a pout.
Lena tries to resist, she does, but she's a sucker for the pout; and she pecks a quick kiss to her wife's lips before she rolls over her and out of the bed, grabbing her glasses on the way.
"That's cheating!" Kara calls after her as she pads her way to the bathroom.
She shakes her hips.
"Double cheating!"
She quickly uses the restroom and washes her hands before smearing toothpaste on her toothbrush. She's barely worked up a foam when Kara enters, strong arms wrapping around her waist and gentle kisses pressing against her neck. She can't help but grin at their reflection in the mirror, and Kara must have the same idea because their eyes lock through the reflection.
It doesn't last long, the minty freshness burning into her cheeks until she's forced to swish and spit, tugging her dark hair over her shoulder. When she looks back up at the mirror, Kara is still smiling at her.
"What?"
"You're beautiful."
Lena blushes, but Kara spins her around before she can respond. There's a kiss on her nose, but when she raises up for more, Kara waves her toothbrush.
"Sorry, my wife doesn't like to make out with me until I brush my teeth."
She rolls her eyes at that and presses a light shove to Kara's chest that shouldn't move the superhero but Kara rocks back on her heels for show.
"Fine, I'll go wake Lexi, but just for that, you're on pancake duty."
Kara mumbles some protest but it's swallowed up in toothpaste foam.
Waking Lexington is completely unnecessary, because the moment she enters the room, Daisy leaps from her perch at the foot of the bed, smothering Lexi with dog kisses. The little girl is unperturbed, patting Daisy and then pushing her away, before reaching for Lena. She gathers the little girl up in her arms, stepping towards the hall bathroom.
"Good morning, Mo Chroi, did you sleep well?"
Lexi nods against her shoulder, she still doesn't speak much, especially not in the morning. It doesn't take much wrangling to get through the morning routine, and by the time the make it to the kitchen, Kara is leaning over the Keurig. Lena drops Lexi off on the center counter, but stops when she notices how her hair is sticking up every which way. She snags a hair tie from the all purpose drawer and finger combs Lexi's hair into a quick braid. She looks adorable, in her mini super suit, socked feet swinging against the cupboard as she watches Kara pour orange juice into a plastic Supergirl cup.
"Good morning, little one." Kara presses a kiss to Lexi's forehead and passes her the glass of juice. She then turns to Lena, pressing a kiss to her forehead as well and eliciting a giggle from Lexi.
"Dogs are out on the balcony, I didn't think they would want to go for a walk." A clap of thunder accentuates Kara's point, and Lexi jumps slightly.
"Hey, it's just thunder; I know it's loud, but it's okay."
Not for the first time, Lena finds herself wondering not for the first time just how loud thunder is with Kara's super hearing.
Lexi nods quietly before taking a sip of juice, and Lena moves to the coffee maker to start the next cup.
"Since it's such a rainy day and we can't go to the park, how about we build a blanket fort and watch movies?" Lena offers, and she isn't sure who looks more excited at the prospect, her daughter or her wife.
"Can Mac and Daisy come in our blanket fort?" Lexi has apparently decided to break her morning silence for this all important question, and Lena agrees immediately.
"Of course!"
"Can we watch Lilo and Stitch?"
"Stitch is my third favorite alien," She shoots a wink at Kara, who's measuring chocolate chips into a bowl of pancake batter. "So I'd be disappointed if we didn't watch Lilo and Stitch."
- - - - - - - - - -
Hours later, when the pancakes have all been eaten, the blanket fort is sturdy above them, and the second Lilo and Stitch movie is playing on the tv; Lena takes a moment to survey the sight around her.
She's propped up against the mass of pillows they've piled up to face the tv, Mac and Daisy sprawled out at her feet - puppy noses almost touching. Lexi is curled into her side, arms wrapped tightly around her giant teddy bear as her blue eyes are trained on the screen. Kara's head is in her lap, glasses askew on her face as she watches the movie, Lena's fingers gently massaging her scalp. If she listens, she can faintly hear the sound of rain pelting the windows.
It's warm, and soft, and perfect - certainly more than she ever thought possible. Maybe it took her longer than most to find those she calls family, but it was certainly worth the wait.
