23. Crush

Kara Danvers was trying to find courage, her apartment was a real mess and it needed clean up. For sure she could do it in seconds, but she felt like a lazy day, and decided to do it later. She heard a knock on the door and walked towards it, to open.

- Hey Clark! – She smiled as she hugged her cousin – It's nice to see you.

- It's nice to see you too cousin! Ready to lose again?

- I'm so going to win and you know it! – She laughed.

- Hey, I was wondering…it would be ok if Oliver could come? He's visiting to help Lois and me with a problem in Metropolis…

Kara was caught out of guard and gave her cousin a weak smile.

- Sure…

- I know you don't like him… I was really hoping you guys would get along… I mean, he is really close to your friend, the one that runs…

- Barry

- Yes.

- Where did you get the idea that I don't like Oliver?

- I don't know… You act weird around him…

- I think you saw things that weren't there… I have nothing against him…

Kara said as she turned around and started cleaning the place at normal speed. She needed distraction right now.

She thought about what Clark said and how her actions might have caused the wrong impression. The truth was she rather everyone thought she didn't like him than finding out the truth.

Kara met Barry at her Earth, when he showed up by accident. He helped her against Livewire and Silver Banshee and she helped him get back home. She went to his Earth to help his team with an alien problem once but she barely talked with Oliver. She felt like he had something against her, later he apologized and they all hugged, but it was just that. The last time she visited, it was for Barry's wedding. She brought Clark as her plus one and everyone asked if they were dating, including Oliver. She told them he was her cousin and Barry and Cisco got really excited to meet him, but he ended up becoming friends with Oliver, for some reason. Thanks to that, and the fact that Clark felt guilty for missing most years of Kara's life, he become more present in her life and Oliver ended up showing up a lot and hanging out a lot.

She was always suspicious she felt something more than admiration for Oliver. Yes, she never showed but she did. The guy was just a human and he managed to take care of his city. They were talking once and he told Clark his story. It was harsh, dark, messy, scary… But somehow, it made Kara respect Oliver more. But yeah, now she was sure she felt something more. The day she realized it, was an awkward day.

FLASHBACK

There was a huge blackout in National City thanks to a few crazy aliens that decided to try to take over the world. Kara had invited Oliver and Clark to stay with her so they could help the city. They divided to conquer, as Oliver used to say, and took care of different things at once, it was their best strategy. Kara came home feeling tired and wanting nothing more than take a shower and go to bed. She opened the door of the bathroom only to find Oliver wrapping himself on a white towel, his hair still wet, also his torso. She stood there, looking at him and blushing.

- I'm sorry… I usually never lock the door, I was covered in mud and dirt… - Oliver apologized as he noticed Kara looking.

- Oh… It's fine… I'm sorry, I forgot you and Clark where staying over…I should have knocked… - She said still staring at his chest and scars.

- I'm sorry… You shouldn't have seen them… They are not very nice.

- They are a part of you – She told him without thinking. She blushed even more and looked at him awkwardly – I'm sorry.

She turned around and closed the door behind her, going to her room, leaving Oliver smiling briefly. She couldn't help but think about the electricity she felt around them as she stood so close to him wearing nothing but a towel.

That was great, she thought sarcastically.

END OF FLASHBACK

And that it was when her crush on Oliver Queen started.

They had a few brief moments like those; she was always blushing and feeling nervous. She decided she needed to keep her cool and never let anyone notice. She had to move on, for Rao's sake. He was from another Earth and had some complicated story with someone from his team, Felicity she thought. She was not going into a messy situation just to get her heart broken. So she tried to push him away, stay away. Maybe that made everyone think she disliked Oliver.

She was a good person, even if she felt trapped in a terrible situation, and she wouldn't let people think she hated Oliver out of nowhere, when he was nothing but sweet and a gentleman to her.

Later that day, Oliver joined them in their weekly training session. It was something Clark and Kara did together to compensate the lost time. Oliver was in his third try to take Kara down, not having any success. She even stopped using her powers to be fair, but she was ten times stronger than him so he never stood a chance.

- Tired of losing, Queen?

- Not even close, Danvers!

- Admit Oliver, you can't beat my cousin!

- One day, I will – Oliver joked as he got up once again, bruises all over his body.

- I'm sorry if I was too hard on you… I think I hurt you… - Kara said as she took a few steps closer to him, looking at his bleeding arms.

- It was nothing. Seriously, I'm fine.

- Kara, J'onn needs us at the DEO – Clark said as he looked at his cell phone.

- Care to join us? – Kara smiled at Oliver, deciding to be nicer to him.

- Sure, why not?

Kara and Clark had to fly over to fix up a problem with a satellite that was affected by a meteor, so Oliver just waited for them at the DEO. J'onn asked for Oliver to help him with a few earthly things and Oliver accepted, giving the fact he had nothing else to do. Once he was done, he decided to go to their training room and practice a bit more. He missed his training days by himself.

Half an hour later, Kara came in the training room looking for Alex when she found a shirtless Oliver training with a dummy, kicking and punching the thing. Kara closed the door behind her and walked closer to Oliver. Oliver turned around, ready to punch the air when Kara's hand stopped him. They were really close to each other.

- I'm sorry, bad habits…

- It's ok. You don't need to apologize for having good reflexes. – She smiled at him.

- And once again you caught me off guard… - He looked down at her lips and back to her eyes, noticing she couldn't stop staring at him. – Do you hate me or something?

- No – It was her automatic answer. – Why does everybody think that?

- I don't know…Sometimes you act like it… I just figured it out it must be something like that.

- Well, you figured it out wrong, mister… That is not true.

- And what the truth is? – He stared deeply into her eyes, her hand still holding his wrist.

Kara had no idea what to do. She knew she still held his wrist but she was so close to him, she didn't want to let go. She also couldn't find any control inside of her left to stop her from what she was about to do.

- You're always half naked, it's like you do in on purpose…

- Why would I do that?

- I don't know… You tell me.

Oliver gave her a brief smile, giving a light pull, making Kara stumble on him. With his free hand he grabbed her by the waist.

- I do like the way you look at me when…I'm half naked – He whispered to her ear, making her shiver.

Kara closed her eyes, not wanting to admit anything but at the same time, dying to grab him and kiss him. She felt torn inside.

- I knew it – She whispered back. – You love it when I surprise you.

- I sure do, not gonna lie – He gave her a small kiss on her neck, making her shiver again. He smiled to himself noticing that small reaction of hers.

- I'm shook.

- Sarcasm doesn't fit you, Danvers.

She felt the tip of his tongue tracing a path in her neck, going to the base of her ear. She could storm out, she could jump him, she could do anything, but she felt like she was frozen. She couldn't move at all. Her hold on his wrist tightened a bit more on his wrist and she let it go, tracing her own path through the length of his strong arms.

- Clark is a really good friend, but you're the reason I visit so much – He whispered as he looked at her.

Kara gasped a bit when she saw the look in his eyes. Her heart was beating so fast she thought it would go through her chest, if she wasn't practically made of steel.

- I'm glad to know that – It was all she could say. – I never disliked you; I was trying to keep my distance.

- And why is that?

- Because I didn't trust myself around you – She was tired of hiding her feelings, and with the way Oliver was acting with her right now, it was not one sided, so she just decided to be honest.

Oliver grabbed her waist a bit stronger and glued his chest to hers, using the hand Kara let go to reach for the hair on the back of her neck. He grabbed it and brought her face closer to his, attacking her neck and avoiding her lips.

This is torture, Kara thought. She knew he was doing it on purpose. But two could play that game.

Kara used her super strength and super speed to bring Oliver to the other side of the room, making him hit his back on the wall.

- Ouch.

- Did it hurt? – She smiled at him.

- No.

- Liar!

She attacked his neck, her lips going through his skin, down his chest as she traced his scars with the tip of her fingers. Her other hand went to his abs as she caressed him slightly. She could hear his breath going in and out and his heart racing. She smiled to herself as she gave him small playful bites, going finally to his lips.

Oliver kissed her back with such passion, Kara almost lost her balance. They were teasing each other for way too long now.

Kara held him tight and flew them to her apartment, surprising Oliver.

- Wow that was…

- Shush! – She said as she pushed him to the couch, straddling his lap and going back to kiss him.

Oliver felt a bit dizzy because of the sudden fly and the fact that Kara was pressing herself against his sensitive parts and he was losing his mind little by little. His hand was going up and down her back as he held her tightly. Kara was devouring Oliver's neck once again when she heard a noise on the door and jumped from Oliver's lap to his side on the couch. Clark stood by the door, looking shockingly at them. Kara blushed and fixed her messy hair with her hands.

- I told you I didn't dislike him.

- I see…

It was all Clark could say. Oliver and Kara looked at each other and started laughing.

It was a good day after all.
