Chapter Text
Lena hates being interrupted when she is deep in her work. However important the thing might be. It doesn't matter who the person is that wants her attention. She doesn't make time for anyone when she is working. Well, anyone except one wide-eyed baby reporter. Her sweet sweet girlfriend, Kara Danvers. Or Puppy. As Lena loves to call her. She would do anything in her power to make her puppy smile. Kara is an always welcoming distraction to her. There is no making time for Kara, all of her time is her's. She would keep aside her work anytime if it means she gets to spend time with her puppy.
Lena smiled remembering their friend's reactions when she called Kara puppy on their game-night. She had been using that nickname whenever they are alone together, but that day, it just slipped. And it was worth it.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Lena is in the kitchen of their shared apartment, cooking various snacks for their friends and baking cookies for Kara. They live together in Kara's apartment now. It feels like home rather than her own penthouse. She just took a new batch of freshly baked cookies out of the oven when Kara came stumbling into the kitchen area, still half-asleep from her afternoon nap. Lena smiled looking at Kara who is yawning,her eyelids half open with bed hair and pillow creases. She looked absolutely adorable. Kara came to her wrapping her arms around her frame and snuggling into her neck humming at the contact. Lena is used to it since the first day they shared a bed. Kara is extremely cuddly and a snuggle bunny when she is sleepy. But Lena's favourite part was that Kara always seeks her out after she wakes up and gives her cuddles.
Lena wrapped her arms around the blonde pulling her in a loving embrace and kissed her forehead. Kara hummed again.
'Did you sleep well, love?', Lena asked moving a hand in the blonde's hair making her sigh.
'mh-hmm', Kara hummed as an answer. Lena chuckled. Her puppy was still out of it.
'Darling, why don't you go and fresh up huh? There are still warm cookies with your name on them.' Lena gently prodded her. Kara snapped to attention immediately, bit more awake than before, when she heard about cookies.
'So that is what the amazing smell is!!', Kara exclaimed. Lena gave a hearty laugh. Of course Kara would be awake and alert when it comes to food. Lena saw when Kara immediately zeroed in on the cookies and made a beeline to them. She was about to take one and stuff it in her mouth when a hand slapped hers. own.
'Wha- why!? But, Cookies!!', Kara pouted at Lena. Lena was melting even before the pout was becoming lethal, but she made a stern face turning to Kara with her hand on her hips.
' Go fresh up. Now. Then you can have cookies.' Lena said in a stern tone. Kara pouted more and mournfully looked at the cookies before walking to the bathroom. She loves cookies okay?.
After an hour or so, Kara was busy stuffing her face with cookies while recounting her dream of giant fluffy puppies to Lena when their first guest arrived. Soon after, all of their friends were there and they started playing monopoly this time when Kara demanded with a pout that they should play it. And even though they all know that Lena was going to beat all their asses in the game, they couldn't say no to her girlfriend's pout. They all just sighed and gave in immediately. Kara squealed making every one laugh and started arranging the game. They paired up as per the couple. Alex and Maggie, Her and Kara, James and Winn. Mon-El had to take an extra shift that day at the bar, so he couldn't come.
They were in the middle of very serious competition on getting the Boardwalk when Kara silently excused herself and went in to the kitchen searching through the cupboards for more food.
' Look in the oven Puppy. There are leftovers in there.', she said guessing that Kara might be hungry. Lena didn't notice their friends freezing. She looked up when she heard a sputtering sound. Maggie was trying hard no to laugh, Alex was staring at her with eyes wide open and mouth hanging, Winn was awing fanning his face while James was little bit more composed. Lena didn't understand what was funny though. Kara came and sat beside her with a confused expression. Lena was about to ask them what's the matter was when Maggie cut her off.
'What did you call her just now, little luthor', Maggie asked with Alex nodding her head at the question.
Lena got it. Oh, she got it alright. She slipped her pet name for kara in front of them. It need not have to be a secret, but she kept it to herself fearing that their reactions would be just like this.
'Uh. umm. puppy. I -uh- called her puppy', Maggie guffawed at that wheezing words like cute, adorable between her laughs. Alex was just staring at them with a shit-eating grin. Winn and James were both laughing hard.
She turned to Kara and found her pouting at James and Winn as they are laughing. They both finally calmed down and grinned while congratulating her for givng kara a pet name that absolutely suits her. Kara just smiled and leaned her head on Lena's shoulder while Lena wrapped an arm around the blonde's waist and pulled her closer. Her Puppy. Her woman. Her Love. Her everything.

Lena was cut off of her thoughts when her office door opened and a blonde head poked in. Seeing her alone, Kara gave a blinding smile and bounded towards her. She just barely stood up from her chair when she was wrapped in a tight yet warming hug. Lena sighed. She missed her girlfriend. And it seems Kara did so too since she buried her face in Lena's neck and took an deep breath inhaling her scent.
'Hey', was whispered in her ear.
'Hi'
'I missed you so much', Kara said.
'missed you too'
Lena just held Kara to her and smiled when the blonde returned the favor by squeezing her in a hug as hard as she can with out hurting her.
'love you Puppy'
'Love you too Lee. More than you know.'
Lena sighed with happiness at the declaration. Yep. She would do anything to make her Kara happy.
