Chapter Text
Lena and Kara had kept to keeping their relationship on the down low but it was a relief to be able to act like an actual couple around Alex and Maggie now. The sister movie night that turned to friend movie night had boiled down to essentially a double date every Friday night. Alex and Maggie would make their way over around 7 and Lena would come whenever she’d finish work. They’d pop in a movie, have pizza and beer then Lena would nod off, head falling onto Kara’s shoulder. That would always be Alex and Maggie’s cue to leave and Kara would carefully pick Lena up and carry her to the bedroom gently laying her down where she would then join her and snuggle in.
Another Friday night rolled round and Lena was still sat in her office at 6:50. She was excited to take off her heels and stuff her face with the girls later.
Change of plans. Lena sighed when she got Kara’s text, she was hoping Kara wasn’t cancelling as she really wanted to see her girlfriend after being so busy for the past week. Winn, James and Mon-el are joining us tonight. Lena audibly groaned at the thought of Mon-el being there. He was probably a nice guy but his crush on Kara made Lena hate him. Actually he wasn’t a nice guy at all. He was a misogynistic douche.
Lena finished up her paperwork and closed up for the night before jumping in the car and heading to Kara’s. It had gone 8 by the time she had got there and became accustomed to just walking in. Kara’s face lit up when Lena walked in. She immediately kicked of her heels and felt Kara come up behind her and slide off her blazer that had been stuck to her shoulders all day. “Thank you,” she sighed in appreciation.
“I’m sorry they’re all here tonight,” Kara whispered apologetically. “Will you still stay?”
“Huh?”
“The night, will you still stay. I don’t have work tomorrow and it’s Hank’s turn to save the world.” Lena smiled at Kara.
“I’m sure I can move some things around and skip work tomorrow,” Lena said smirking. He eyes shifted to the rest of the group sat on the sofa conversing. She sent a quick smile and hello to everyone.
“We’re watching the original Jurassic Park. A classic,” Kara told Lena, grabbing her hand and pulling her to the sofa, Kara went to flop down next to Mon-el who was smiling at her. Lena quickly sat down before her right next to Mon-el so he wouldn’t have the satisfaction of sitting by her. Lena wasn’t a jealous person, not until Kara happened. Lena’s jealousy grew the more she felt for Kara and Lena’s positive she loves her. Lena’s quick move resulted in Kara landing in her lap. Maggie stifled a laugh at Lena’s clear green eyed monster poking out.
“Whoops,” Lena said quietly at Kara who looked at her questionably. Lena’s hands were settled on Kara’s waist and James looked at the two with curiosity, and then to Alex and Maggie who were laughing at the other two.
“Oh . . . I see now! Of course it’s Lena,” James thought aloud after realising the reason Kara had been smiling so much was because of Lena. He figured it was a person, but it took tonight for him to understand who it was. Lena’s glare towards him was enough to shut up him up and he sunk in his chair. He felt Alex’s eyes on him and turned to her. She silently shook her head and mouthed “Don’t say a word.”
Mon-el was confused though. He just wanted to sit next to Kara and Lena wouldn’t let him. Lena just glared at him every time his eyes wondered to where Kara was now sat on the sofa. Alex felt the tension between Lena and him and figured out a way to diffuse the situation. “Mon-el would you get me another beer from the fridge?”
“But you haven’t finished that one,” he replied confused. Alex look at the beer bottle still half full and cursed herself. She felt Lena’s discomfort from the other side of the room and rolled her eyes for what she was about to do because of her new found fondness for the Luthor. She brought the bottle to her lips and downed the rest much to the surprise of everyone else.
“Now I have.” Mon-el stood up and begrudgingly went to the fridge whilst Alex jumped up and took his place. Just at the simple movement she saw Lena relax into the sofa. When Mon-el came back with the beer he frowned but took Alex’s place without saying anything. “You don’t have to be jealous.”
“It’s hardly a choice. I trust Kara with my life and if she chose him in the end I’d let her go but still, jealousy is a human instinct.”
“I never liked him either.” Lena felt Kara’s hand searching for hers so she smoothly slip her into Kara’s and squeezed before turning her head to face her.
“Hey,” she whispered.
“What was all that about?” Kara asked just as quietly
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Kara grinned slightly as she knew exactly what had just happened between her and Mon-el.
“Did the big CEO not want a certain someone to sit next to their girlfriend,” she mocked.
“Kara,” Lena whined in almost embarrassment. “I’m sorry, he’s just annoying. And not subtle.”
“You weren’t subtle.”
“But I wasn’t annoying.”
“Well I don’t know about that.” Lena rolled her eyes and playfully nudged Kara with her shoulder. “I’m going to get a drink, would you like anything.”
“Water for now thank you.” Kara got up and made her way to the kitchen, Lena frowned when she saw Mon-el stand up and follow her. Alex watched it happen as well and shook her head.
“He doesn’t give up does he?” Lena just continued to glare at him as he spoke to Kara. At that moment Kara’s face turned into disgust so Lena stood up to see if she was okay but hung back slightly. Alex turned her head around to listen in too.
“Mon-el no! You can’t just ask that!” Lena heard Kara exclaim.
“What? You’re a woman who needs a man and I can be that man if we mate.” Alex tried to keep a smirk to herself when she looked at Lena’s face. “We can have dinner her and eat at the table like a proper couple.”
“I am not eating at that table with you like a proper couple!” Mon-el looked at Kara confused.
“But why?”
“Because we’re never going to be a proper couple and because I banged Lena on that exact table precisely this morning!” The room went silent and Kara’s eyes widened, she looked to Lena apologetically who just slyly smirked back to her.
“Is this going to become a thing? Because I’ve heard too much about my sister’s sex life than one needs,” Alex said with her head in her hands. James, Maggie and Winn all chuckled and Winn gave Alex a sympathetic pat on her shoulder.
“I could always tell you the real reason that the shower is broken,” Lena said casually. Alex groaned loudly as Kara lobbed a balled up tea towel at Lena’s face.
