Prompt #32:William finds out about Lexie's heritage.
January 2035
She had…she really had flown. He had seen it with his eyes. That could only mean something. Even the rest of her family had to be that way. How had she never told him about this?W thought they're close. They had been together for the last two years,how had he never come to know?How had this never come up in a conversation? He was almost more furious for the fact he had been lied to,than about the fact that she was indeed an alien.
"You could've told me,could've you?Come up with a creative way to tell me,or something"
"I'm sorry,I didn't mean to hide this from you"
"When would've I found out. In 10 years,with a marriage going and after a couple of kids?"
"You can't look so far."
"I have to. I want to"
She sat down on the bench outside in the patio,a few feet far from the swing seat.
"I was afraid you might leave me because of this. Not everybody is inclined to intrattenere a relationship with an alien. Or half-alien in my case. Yes I can do the things my mama does mostly. I have superhearing,I can see through things,though not men,I'm even sort of intolerant to kryptonite,but I'm human. We're all human,sometimes even more than some"
"Couldn't you have let me know?"
"And what,try to go out with you and have you believe I am a freak. Or think about keep on going out with me because Supergirl is my ma and Cat Grant is my mom?"
"You have to believe I would have never done this. I know how some people wouldn't mind knowing just for that,but I love you for who you are. I love your siblings,because you're so close,and you take care of each other so well. And I adore your mothers,not only because they do such big things,but also because when they're here,they're the most normal people,who want the best for their kids,and would give the world for that if necessary."
"Would you mind leaving me alone?"
"Are you breaking up with me?"
"I don't know."
He frowned,but didn't answer,and left her alone.
He didn't leave the place however.
William just sat a little bit further,where the courtyard almost met the sea. The boy wanted to show her all she would've received was support. Will had no reason to want to give her anything else. He was asking for her total trust,whereas she already had his.
He had been hurt by not knowing,but he could understand the many reasons which had brought her to follow that course of action.
It started raining as night descended on Midvale,but the two kids didn't move. Each of them lost in their thoughts.
Lexie took the first move,and went to sit where he was,arms around her knees,and chin over them.
"I love you and I'm sorry if you thought so poorly of me for a moment,that you believed I would've put you in trouble or loved you no more."
There was a thunderbolt just as he said it,and Lexie looked up at him.
"Do you realize how much you hurt me?"
"I was scared"
"Do I scare you?Haven't I shown you just how normal I am?We've been together for two years,holy Rao"
He stood up,and helped her up as well. They were both totally soaked by now,clothes,hair,everywhere,but couldn't seem to do anything but looking at each other.
"No. Never. You're so amazing. And so Lexie. I could just leave,take a journey around the world and try to find one like you,and I know,I'm sure I would never find her. Lex. You're unique. And this is why I love you."
William grabbed her cold hands and kissed them,then he bent down slowly to capture her lips in a soft kiss. It was the same way he had kissed her for the first time,a few months after the prom.
"I really like you Lexie."
"You do?"
"And I would really also like to be able to kiss you right now"
Just like a gentleman of other times he had asked,then without further notice,or even her answer,he leaned over,and planted a lingering kiss on her slightly parted lips.
It was the first kiss she had ever shared with anybody,and it was a dream.
As he brought an hand to her face,she did the same and deepened the kiss,without even thinking about it.
Her tears kept coming down,mixed up to the rain,as the patio of the Midvale house became colder with it.
"I love you too"
She threw her arms to his neck and he hugged her as tightly as he could.
They stayed that way,surrounded by the darkness of the night,and the rain falling over them,sticking their clothes to their bodies,as they kissed. If they ever noticed they were floating,it didn't matter. They were busier rekindling their hearts.
