Prompt: your otp is cuddling during a thunderstorm.
Btw: I really think you wanted me to write Kara being afraid of thunderstorms but yes I chose Lena.
Lena has always been afraid of thunderstorms. Ever since she was a little girl she got frightened by them. One night she got left alone at their house and an extremely bad thunderstorm happened. She ran to her room, hide herself under her bed and refused to come out again for the next two days. She even refused to eat or drink.
Her dad managed to calm her down on day three. But ever since that day she has locked herself into her bedroom to stay under her covers until the storm passed.
Today was different though. It started as usual, a normal day at L-corp with some boring meetings and phone calls. Kara visited her during her lunch break, to make sure she'll eat something. She even brought her favorite salad, so they spent their whole lunch break together, same as usually. They chatted and laughed together and Lena realized just how much she loved that woman.
Kara left and she returned to her paperwork.
She was so focused on that task, that she barely registered the rain hitting her windows. So when she finally looked up from her work, the sky was covered in dark clouds. And then she heard a sound. The one she has nightmares about ... thunder.
"Damn it!" She whined. She wasn't even aware that it was supposed to rain today but a thunder ... lord.
She had sent Jess home earlier that evening and the older woman gladly accepted. Jess even told her that she would enjoy a nice bath and a movie and then told her boss that she should do the same thing.
But as stubborn as she is, she insisted on finishing her paperwork first. And what started with the paperwork soon lead to Lena replying to every email she received that day.
It's her own fault, that she's trapped in her office, in the middle of a thunderstorm. She already felt the panic raising to her chest as she heard another noise.
What now? I can't stay at my office all night.
She whimpered as there's another flash of light and literally jumped as she heard a knock on her balcony door.
Kara was here, wet from the rain, breathless and in her super suit.
She stood there, wearing a small smile, her hair dripping. She obviously flew here and therefore had no umbrella, to protect her from the storm.
Lena realized that she still hadn't opened the door. She stood with a shy smile and went to the door. The moment she unlocked it, she heard another terrifying rumble and started to shake uncontrollably.
"Hey, hey, hey I am here now." Kara was by her side in an instant. "I heard your heart rate, so I figured something has to be wrong, right? So I flew here to check on you. Are you hurt? ," Kara asked worried as she started to scan her body with her x-ray version to make sure no one hurt her.
"You didn't have to come over, I am fine," Lena tried to reassure her but of course Kara didn't buy it. She simply stepped closer and pulled the raven-haired into a tight hug. "I know you, you know? We started dating two months ago, and we have been best friends for over three years now, so I know when you're lying." The older woman tried to bury her head in Kara's chest when she heard another noise.
And suddenly it clicked.
"Oh my god you're scared of thunderstorms!" Kara exclaimed.
"I just want to go home, Kara," Lena whined and pulled her closer.
Kara pulled her into her arms and lifted her up, so they both could leave for Lena's apartment. Kara wanted to fly them over but Lena insisted on a cab.
Once they reached their destination, Kara refused to let her out of sight. She picked her up and walked them down the hall, towards the bathroom. The blonde had let her down to fill the tub with water before she started to undress the older woman.
Once they were both undressed, Lena stepped into the tub. Kara followed her and slide into the tub behind her. The blonde started to caress the other one's neck.

After their bath, Kara lead Lena to the bedroom but excused herself for a second.
Lena plopped onto the middle of her enormous bed, basically theirs now because they decided to spend the nights together shortly after they officially started dating.
There's a loud rumble of thunder and Lena immediately tensed. Kara must've noticed it and rushed back to the bedroom. She handed Lena a cup of hot chocolate and placed her own down on the nightstand besides her, so she could wrap her arms around her girlfriend's middle to pull her closer. Lena relaxed at that touch and melted further into her.
"Please don't leave again," she begged. Her mother would be so disappointed with her because a Luthor never begs. But in that moment she couldn't bring herself to care. She needed to be held and, she needed that person to be Kara.
Kara placed her head onto her shoulder and placed a soft kiss into her hair. "Never."
They both barely registered the next lightning and the following rumble because Lena did as she was told. She started to focus on Kara and not the thunderstorm.
They placed the finished cocoa back on the nightstand and decided, that they'd both need some sleep after their long working day.
Normally Lena's the big spoon, the person who holds Kara the whole night but today the blonde took that position to comfort her girlfriend. Once they were settled in, Kara wrapped her arms around the dark-haired woman again and Lena sighed contently.
Lena drifted asleep soon after but Kara stayed awake to make sure her girlfriend wouldn't get scared again.
From that day on, Kara never left Lena's side ever again during a thunderstorm and Lena finally began to overcome her fear.
