Lee had never been so happy that he had paid attention in science class during primary school. Kara's voice had held just a tiny bit of fear in it when she asked what they were supposed to do now that they knew how to figure out which planet was Earth.
Kara had given them a map, but Lee had been the one to give them a direction.
It had earned him a shared smile with the woman he would do anything for, and they held each other's eyes as the others broke off to look around. There was so much he had been waiting to say to her since she came back. He had been waiting for the right time, and he had a feeling that it was now.
They started talking at the same time.
"Kara-"
"Lee-"
They both cut off to let the other one speak, and the silence filled the gap between them.
After a moment, Lee reached out and pushed the hair out of her eyes. It was soft, and his hand lingered against her cheek. She was soft. He rubbed his thumb gently along the edge of her jaw and was rewarded with a soft sigh as Kara leaned into his touch.
They stayed that way until the world around them faded away.
