Chapter 2: Pastry bonds all
At the bar everything went well, Kara was able to only embarrass herself twice and managed to make Lena laugh a lot. Lena has a beautiful laugh, Kara definitely loves it.
She also really likes Lena's mind, the woman is just so smart that it makes Kara swoon. The brunette even talked about space and Kara loved to listen, even though it saddened her not to be able to offer more knowledge – for fear of Lena understanding Kara's alien nature – to the woman who seems so hungry for it.
Lena is a really fascinating person and Kara hated to see her so alone, apparently, Lena has no friends and as far as her family goes, she's be better off without it. Kara firmly believes Lena deserves better, she deserves someone to actually care for her and offer her friendship, so her mind is now set on that.
Kara ended up walking Lena home just to spend some more time with the brunette and they exchanged numbers, agreeing to see each other again soon.
The first time Kara sent Lena a message she immediately felt rude. Lena's blind and she had just sent her a text! So her second text read "Oh my god, that was so rude of me, I'm so sorry! I'm gonna call you now" – and yes, if the first text might have been useless without a reading assistance on Lena's phone, the second one would have been completely dumb.
Then she realised that Lena's phone probably had the assistance for blind people and could read texts to her, so her next text was along the line of "I'm such an idiot, we're in the 21st century, your phone probably reads the texts to you! I'm so sorry, I'm just that dumb.", immediately followed by "But! Just in case it doesn't, because not all phones do that, I'm also gonna call you."
- Lena was incredibly amused by Kara's awkwardness and the panic in her voice when she called Lena and apologised a dozen times for being rude. Lena actually found it very cute how the blonde had sent her another text, after realising she might not be able to read the first, to tell her that she just now thought Lena might not be able to read it. She also found amusing how Kara still called her just to make sure her phone was set up to read her texts. No one ever bothered to check, they either thought it too inappropriate or just didn't care at all. -
Kara has texted her all week, but, not wanting to over step, she has kept it down to a couple of texts everyday. Now she has finally found the perfect opportunity to see Lena again, so she's texting her to check that Lena likes pastries.
..
Lena has been thinking about Kara non-stop all week. Kara's texts that bright her day, Kara's rambling – because Lena found that she can ramble even over text – and her rants on the phone the few times Lena has called her, too tired to care how it would look to answer a text with a long phone call.
She knows the woman is blonde, with blue eyes – Kara has tried to describe herself to Lena over coffee, stumbling on her words when Lena bluntly asked "Are you beautiful?" and added "Because you sound beautiful" before thinking to herself smooth, Luthor, smooth, and then wondering if she made Kara blush, because it sounded like she did. She knows Kara's a reporter working for CatCo, she has a sister with a mysterious job – because Kara had trouble putting a clear name to it – that somehow makes her an agent, she was adopted and really loves her family, she also really loves food and she can eat a lot.
She knows that Kara's breathing sped up when Lena started talking about space and relaxed after a while, she knows that the topic made her smile because she could hear it in her voice when she asked Lena questions.
She knows that she didn't think once about her last name while in Kara's company.
Now her phone is ringing with an incoming text and she lets the automatic voice read it to her.
"How do you feel about pastry?"
Lena answers that she loves pastry and Kara's reply is immediate.
"There's a new shop in your neighbourhood that opened a few days ago. Wanna check it out?"
Lena smiles at the opportunity to meet Kara again, "Sure! When shall we go?"
"Any time! Whenever you want!"
Lena is about to send a reply when another text comes in. "Well...maybe not any time… I actually have work and I've got this assignment that's gonna give me a hard time, so I'll be a little busy on that. But! I am free Wednesday, Friday and Sunday!"
"Although the shop is probably closed on Sunday..." a third text says.
Lena chuckles at Kara's little rant. "It's okay, I should be all free on Friday. Does some time after lunch work for you?"
Kara's reply is once again immediate and it makes her smile how the blonde is always so ready to answer her, even though she must be pretty busy with the job she has.
"Totally works! I'll see you then!"
"Don't know if your phone tells you that, but there were many happy emojis in the last text. In this one too!"
Lena laughs at Kara's last text, of course the blonde would write her just to make sure she knows Kara put emojis in her text.
"I won't (see you), but I'll be happy to hear your voice again", she thinks about not sending it, many people feel uncomfortable when she jokes about her predicament, but for her it's just another way to deal with the aftermath of the accident. She decides Kara can handle it.
"You'll hear it a lot!"
She smiles at Kara's answer and decides to send just one more message. "I really hope so".
She hopes she doesn't come off as too flirty, she really doesn't want to scare Kara away by making her think she's hitting on her.
But who is she kidding? Lena is a sucker for girls with pretty voices and Kara definitely has a pretty voice. Lena just wants to hear it again in person.
... . ...
Kara picks her up on Friday and Lena is surprised by the hug she's engulfed in. Kara immediately pulls back.
"Oh my god! Did I startle you? I'm so sorry, I should have asked fi-"
"Kara. Stop. It's fine, it's not the hug, I like hugs. It's just..." Lena admits shyly "I'm not really used to people wanting to hug me".
She shakes her head, she's a confident woman, how comes it just all melts away when this bright little...ray of sunshine is around?
'Cause she makes you feel safe.
Lena swats away at the whisper in her mind. Never feel safe, that's dangerous.
"Come here", Kara is beckoning her into another hug and Lena can hear the smallest hint of sadness hidden in her voice.
There, you already ruined the mood. Well done, Luthor.
But Kara is holding her tightly and saying "I'm gonna give you so many hugs today that you're going to need two showers to get rid of my perfume on you".
Lena chuckles, her arms tightening around the other woman. Who says I want to get rid of it?
"Good thing you have nice tastes then" Lena jokes.
Kara makes a funny face at her, then remembers Lena can't see it and curses in her mind.
"Just so you know, I made a face at you, one of my funny ones" she says softly nudging Lena's shoulder and laughing a little.
Lena laughs and catches herself thinking I wish I could see them all. She huffs at herself and mocks Stop this, Lena. Even if she got past your blindness, she would run as soon as she learned your last name.
"Kara?" she asks, hesitating right before leaving her front porch.
Kara turns toward her and waits.
"Hum… I was just thinking that I have no idea how you look like and, well, the only way I have of getting a hint is… I mean, would you let me touch your face?" she finally finishes, cringing at her ramble. "Of course, it's perfectly okay for you to say no! I mean, I totally unders-"
"Hey, Lena, calm down, you're starting to sound like me!" Kara chuckles, then her voice soften, "I really don't mind, you can feel my face". She smiles even though Lena can't see it, she reaches out to hold Lena's hands and gently guides them to her face. "Here".
Lena holds her breath as Kara guides her hands to her face. For a moment she just holds them against Kara's cheeks, her thumbs gently stroking the soft skin.
She breathes out slowly and finally starts moving her hands. She's gentle and moves really slowly, expecting Kara to pull away any time. But Kara relaxes under her touch and lets out a soft sigh that melts Lena's heart.
When she gets to her lips, Lena feels herself blush and mentally curses herself for it. Kara's lips are incredibly soft, they're stretched in a smile and Lena can feel her heart beating loudly against her chest, she worries Kara might hear it too.
- Kara does. -
Lena's thumb strokes Kara's bottom lip and pulls it down just a little, Lena not realising it until she feels the slight wetness against her finger and she exhales shakily, she retreats her hands right away and waits for Kara to react badly.
Kara on her part feels her lips tingle from Lena's touch and is looking at the blushing brunette mesmerized.
"So, how am I?" Kara finally breaks the silence that settled after Lena retreated her hands.
Lena raises her head to Kara, surprised. She takes a breath to regain some of her composure and contain her blush. "You feel beautiful too".
It's Kara's time to blush and she ducks her head even though the other woman couldn't see her any way. "Thanks", she answers shyly.
Lena lets the mood brighten again before speaking, "Shall we get going?"
Kara jumps up, "Yes! Yes, we definitely should!"
She takes Lena's hand enthusiastically and leads her down the street. "This way. It just opened and I heard it's already considered one of the best in National City! If it is half as good as they say, I'm going to have a hard time not eating all the pastries they have!"
Lena chuckles at her side.
Suddenly Kara pulls Lena to her, apologising immediately after and explaining, "Running teenager, I didn't have time to warn you".
Lena just focuses on not thinking about how close she just was to Kara.
... . ...
Lena knows Kara's mouth is stuffed with pastries when she has a hard time understanding what the blonde is saying. She laughs as Kara attempts to say something and a muffled sound is all that comes out.
"uoit" she says next, which Lena decides to interpret as a "wait".
She can literally hear Kara swallow a mouthful of pastry before her voice is back to normal.
"Sorry about that, I tend to get over excited about good food and good company and then I try to eat and talk at once. It's not a nice show, my sister always says it's kinda disgusting", she says apologetically.
Lena laughs, "Don't worry, I didn't see anything".
"Just heard what must have been a huge quantity of food try to make its way down your throat".
Kara laughs out loud at that. "Yeah, it was quite a lot".
Lena chuckles, "So what is it that you tried to say earlier?"
"Oh, yeah, I was asking if you didn't like the pastries after all, you left some of them", Kara frowns.
Lena laughs again, "Well, you brought me a little mountain of pastries, it seems I don't quite have your stomach, Kara".
Kara loves her name on Lena's lips. Wait, what?
Kara would blush if she weren't frowning at what her mind just thought.
"I mean, I love them! I really did, I promise. But I'm quite full and I'd like to be able to walk when we get out of here", Lena assures Kara, amused.
Kara smiles, "I'm glad you liked them". Then she considers if Lena would think her impolite if she…
"Hey, hum… since you don't eat those..."
Lena chuckles and grins at the blonde, "They're all yours".
She pushes her plate towards Kara and the other girl giggles. "Thanks".
Lena shakes her head, amused. "How do you eat so many pastries? And how do you stay so fit?"
When she realises what she said, she blushes a little, "I mean, when we hugged… You have a very fit body".
Kara laughs, "I'm an alien" she says matter of factly, making Lena chuckle.
