As usual, your comments give me life!
When Lena wakes up, she's immediately reminded of why she no longer sleeps with many blankets.
Kara is HOT.
And not in a sexy way.
Although yes in a sexy way, but also in a body temperature way. The front of her is warm, where she's pressed against Kara's back, but her feet are freezing, so she slowly lifts one up and runs it along Kara's leg.
"Mmmphh." Kara grunts, and she feels instant remorse.
"Sorry!" She whispers, "My feet are cold."
"'s okay." Kara reaches back to pull Lena's arm tighter around her waist and nuzzles her face into the pillow.
It's silent for a few minutes, and she thinks that maybe Kara has drifted back to sleep so she snuggles closer, burying her face in the soft warmth of Kara's back and breathing in the soft smell of honeysuckle. She lingers in that stage of not quite asleep but not really awake, enjoying the feeling of Kara snuggled against her.
"D'you sleep okay?"
The soft question rouses her from a very interesting dream where Kara was dressed like a banana.
"Mhmm, you?"
"Always do when I'm with you." The answer is mumbled, but it still makes Lena smile.
"What do you have today?"
Kara twists around so that she's facing Lena, burrowing her face in Lena's shoulder and snaking her arm around Lena's waist.
"Finishing up an article for Snapper, you?"
"A few early meetings, nothing too late."She tangles her legs with Kara's and buries her fingers in blonde hair.
"Wanna grab dinner?"
"Of course. That fancy Italian place you like?"
"Mmm." Kara's lips trail along her collar bone. "How about the helipad a L'Corp? Dinner under the stars?"
"Even better, I'll have the Italian place cater."
"I'll provide the Champagne."
"Champagne? Are we celebrating something?"
"Why can't a girl just be happy she's having a nice dinner with her girlfriend?"
Lena laughs.
"Great, now you've jinxed it!"
"I'll talk to J'onn, he can cover for me in case something happens."
A thought strikes Lena then, and she hopes that Kara isn't paying attention to her heart rate, because it definitely speeds up.
"I'll make sure Alfonzo includes some of those cannoli you like so much then."
The pitter patter of little paws circles the bed, and then Lena feels a light weight on her feet.
"Daisy!" Kara exclaims, and Lena is left cold for a moment as Kara sits up to pick up the dog and drag her back between them. "Awww yessss, that's my baby, tell mom hi!"
Lena's face is met with a wet nose as Kara presses Daisy against her and the pup obediently darts out a tongue to lick Lena's nose.
She doesn't think it can get much cuter that waking up with two puppies.
Lena has been dropped off at her office, and Kara is making her way towards CatCo; she's practically vibrating with excitement and she's pretty sure her smile can't get any wider.
She's been waiting for the perfect moment, and it looks like it's about to present itself. She looks around her quickly before darting into a nearby alley and speeding into her super suit. She shoots off towards the sky, as fast as she can fly - all the way to the edge of the atmosphere.
The ground is no longer visible under the light cloud coverage, and it's completely silent other than the faint thrumming of ozone. She does a flip, and then another one, screeching in happiness. She barrel rolls for a few miles before allowing herself to free fall and then shoot back up. She isn't sure that she's ever felt this happy, but she's sure that's all going to change tonight.
Hopefully it will change tonight.
She pats her left shoulder, feeling the comforting shape of the square box stored there.
Definitely perfect timing.
Now she just has to set her plan in motion.
She takes a second to get her bearings and then shoots off in the direction of France.
First, she needs champagne.
Lena has been spending every spare thought for the past month trying to think of a creative way to do this; but the more she thinks about it, the more she realizes she should probably just go with traditional.
A nice dinner, a little champagne, and then bam! Out with it.
The whole thing is falling into her lap, really.
She twists her hands nervously and wonders just how exactly she is going to make it through tonight when the mere thought of what she's about to do makes her feel dizzy.
"Miss Luthor, one of the investors wants to know if he can have a 7 o'clock meeting with you." Jess' voice startles her out of her spiraling thoughts.
"Not tonight, Jess; I have plans. Schedule him for next week."
She glances towards the safe in the corner.
She has plans alright. Big plans.
Halfway across town, Alex Danvers is leaning over her fiancee, staring at the body in front of them when her phone dings.
Lena: Tonight's the night!
The words are followed by a little ring emoji, and Alex grins down at Maggie.
"You know that bet we made? About who would propose first, Kara or Lena?"
"Yeah and you wrongly bet on Lena?"
"Not so fast!" She shows Maggie the text and the detective's eyes widen before her own phone dings and she tugs it out, only to start laughing when she reads it.
"Oh yeah?" Maggie hands her the phone.
Little Danvers: Tonight's the night!
The little ring emoji is there too and Alex groans.
"These two are so oblivious it's not even funny."
"Double up on the bet?" Maggie waggles her eyebrows and Alex just laughs.
"Of course! Hope you're ready to pay up!"
Lena's glad that her day is full of meetings, she needs to be distracted from the bundle of nerves fluttering in her stomach. Between investors and R&D, and calling Alfonzo to go over the menu for that night; she's kept fairly busy - allowing minimal time for her eyes to linger on the safe across the room.
She decides on a dress that she knows Kara likes, a green off the shoulder number that matches her eyes. She straightens her hair so that it falls around her face and does her make up a little darker than normal. She chooses a bright lipstick color, because even thought she can't leave permanent marks on Kara's skin, she wants visual proof of where exactly her lips have been.
Walking over to the safe, she takes out the small velvet box inside and clicks it open, breath catching at the sight of the ring inside. She slips it out and into a lead lined pouch that she designed especially for the occasion.
"You ready, babe?"
Kara's voice from the doorway startles her and her fingers spasm, almost sending the pouch flying.
She takes a shuddering breath and tucks the pouch into her belt.
"Ready." She turns to see Kara looking completely breath taking. Her blonde hair in a ponytail with her glasses perched on her nose. She's wearing a white pencil dress with a blue blazer over it and Lena thinks she looks-
"Beautiful." She whispers, eyes trailing over the familiar lines of Kara's face.
"Funny," Kara's voice is barely a whisper. "I was thinking the same thing about you."
She moves towards Kara without a thought, wrapping her arms around the other woman's neck and capturing her lips in a soft kiss.
"Hey." Kara whispers when they part, blue eyes sparkling.
"Hey." She repeats back and she wonders if the look of contentment on Kara's face is mirrored on her own even though she knows it must be.
Kara leans in for another all-too-brief kiss before holding out the hand that isn't grasping an expensive looking bottle of champagne.
"If I know you, dinner's waiting, so we should get going."
"You do know me." Lena laughs as she takes the offered hand. "What kind of champagne did you get?"
Kara's cheeks redden.
"Oh you know, just a little something I picked up from a guy I know in France."
Lena squeezes her hand and follows her to the elevator. On the ride up to the roof she takes the opportunity to study Kara's profile - the slope of her nose, the slight pout of her lips.
How did she get so lucky?
Kara must feel her eyes, because she turns and for the briefest of seconds Lena thinks she looks nervous. But then the expression is gone, covered by a bright smile.
"How were your meetings?"
"Good. How was your article."
"Good."
It all feels stiff, but Lena doesn't have time to think about it because the elevator doors are dinging open and the rooftop is in front of them, lit with twinkling candles and starlight. Her decorator had outdone himself, and she makes a mental note to add a nice tip to his next paycheck.
It's the perfect night, not too cold and not too hot, and the smell of the food wafting up from the table is enough to make her mouth water. She just needs to get Kara to sit down and then she can pop the question. She knows she'll never be able to eat before she gets an answer.
"Shall we?" She gestures to the table but Kara looks hesitant.
"Maybe we should open the champagne first? Have a toast?"
"Are you going to do the trick?"
"Actually, I think you should open it." Kara holds out the bottle towards her, and she tilts her head in a question before taking the bottle being offered to her.
"Alright."
She tears off the foil and then twists off the metal cap.
Kara fidgets with her glasses, but she brushes it off, anxious to get on with her plan.
Her thumbs work the cork up slowly until it finally pops and Kara gasps, watching as it flies off into the night.
"Ummm. . . that's not- that wasn't - I have to find that!" Her girlfriend shoots off in the direction the cork flew and she's confused for a moment as to why a champagne cork is so important but then she snaps out of it.
This is as good of a distraction as any.
She drops to one knee, shaking fingers digging out the lead pouch and shaking out the contents into her palm.
"Lena?!"
Kara is hovering in front of her, the cork between her fingers, a small string dangling from it, the end of which is glinting in the moonlight.
"Kara?!"
"Is that a ring?" their voices sound in harmony and Lena can't help but bark a laugh.
"Are you proposing?" she asks breathlessly.
"Are YOU proposing?" Kara counters as she drops to her knees in front of Lena.
She studies the woman in front of her for a moment before she speaks.
"I've loved you for such a long time."
"I think I started to fall in love with you the moment I met you."
"I'm really glad my crush on Supergirl didn't come between us."
Kara laughs at that, a musical sound.
"I'm glad my being Supergirl didn't come between us."
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Kara Danvers. I want to wake up next to you every morning and fall asleep next to you every night."
"I want to cry with you when you're sad and laugh with you when you're happy." Kara counters.
"I want - " She searches for the words to express the depth of her emotion but comes up empty. "I just want you really."
"I want you too." Kara's eyes are filled with tears.
"Forever?"
"Forever."
"Will you marry me?"
"Only if you'll marry me!"
Her only answer is to pull Kara into a searing kiss.
"How did you get the ring inside the champagne anyway?" She asks when they finally part, floating somewhere above National City.
"A lady never reveals her secrets!"
