Chapter Text
The air was cold as Alex made her way out of the car and toward the ticket booth where she knew Maggie would be waiting. She saw the short girl and smiled to herself.
Alex had been harboring a crush on Maggie since the sixth grade. They became quick friends and the years flew by. They were now seniors in high school.
Maggie turned around and waved excitedly to Alex. They were at Kara’s soccer game. She had face paint on her cheek. It was a Supergirl symbol because Kara had scored so many goals, her team had insisted on calling her Supergirl. They both loved Kara and supported her in everything she did. Kara was a sophomore and she was one of the best on the team. She played midfield.
“Are you READY?!?!?!” Maggie practically screamed into Alex’s ear. She pulled Alex into a bone crushing hug. The hug was a little too-long-to-be-friends hug and Alex felt the butterflies in her stomach flutter when Maggie pulled back and brushed a piece of hair behind Alex’s ear. Alex blushed and tried to hide it. She turned and pulled Maggie towards the gates suddenly feeling queasy.
“We should get in before the game starts.” Alex said and she turned away from Maggie trying to calm her emotions.
“Yes I can’t wait!”
They got through the gates and claimed their seats on the bottom of the bleachers. Alex was so nervous for Kara. They were going against their rivals, The Wires. This was the one team that Kara’s team could not beat. The Wires goalkeeper was Kara’s biggest nemesis. Leslie Willis, AKA Livewire. Whenever Kara tried to score on Leslie, she would block everyone of the, but today was different and Alex could feel it.
The announcer called the starting line up and the ref blew the whistle. The game had begun. Within the first five minutes of the game, The Wires had scored a goal. The crowd booed as The Wires celebrated. Alex looked at Kara and yelled at her to step up her game.
When one of The Wires slide tackled Kara and the ref didn’t call it, the stand was in an uproar. Maggie and Alex were both on their feet yelling insults, but when the ref looked up at them, they quieted down. In the last few seconds, one of Kara’s teammates broke through the mass of players and started sprinting up the field. Alex and Maggie were both on their feet yelling and cheering. She took the shot and scored just as the buzzer for halftime went off. Alex and Maggie danced and jumped and looked into each others eyes and-
No Alex was not thinking about how Maggie was beaming. And no, she was not thinking about Maggie’s lips. And no, she was not thinking about how she could close the distance in a few inches.
As she looked at Maggie, she bite her lip. A warm feeling flooded through her body.
Maggie stared at Alex. Her lips slightly pulled in a smile. She leaned forward but then leaned back just as quickly when the announcer's voice rang through the stadium. “Remember to visit the concession stands. They have hamburgers and pizza along with many drinks.” Alex shivered and then said “We should get hot chocolate.”
“Yeah, yeah okay.” Maggie said looking a little disappointed. Alex wondered what could have happened if…no.
Alex grinned at Maggie and then sprinted out of the stands yelling “Last one to the concessions gets to pay!!!” Maggie hesitated for a moment and then sprinted after Alex.

After halftime was over, Alex and Maggie headed back to the stands and huddled under the blanket. The temperature was chilly so the two girls cuddled for warmth, which was not unusual.
The game was at a tie, Alex had a red nose from the cold, and Maggie was grasping on Alex’s arm as she pulled the blanket closer around her. Alex’s head was spinning. Alex kept on glancing at Maggie and quickly looking away. Maggie’s hand slowly slide down Alex's arm leaving a trail of goosebumps. She slid her hand into Alex’s and leaned on her shoulder. Alex was very surprised but their hands fit so perfectly that they stood like that.
As they watched the game they stole glances at each other. But their attention was drawn back. There were on 45 seconds left. Kara and Lena dribbled up the field passing to each other all the way. Alex and Maggie stood up yelling at Kara to keep it up. Lena passed the ball to Kara just as one of the Wires slammed Lena to the ground. Kara was all alone. It was her and the goalie. Her and Leslie.
The clock ticked and time froze. Alex and Maggie held their breath. Kara winded up and let out the most powerful kick. Leslie jumped and the ball slipped through her fingers. The timer went off and the crowd erupted. Alex and Maggie screamed and looked at eachother. Them without thinking, Alex pulled Maggie into a kiss. Maggie’s lips were soft and warm against the cold of Alex’s. Alex pulled back and looked into Maggie’s eyes.
“Oh, I am so sor-” But before Alex could finish her sentence, Maggie leaned forward and kissed her again, not wanting to let the feeling of Alex go.
As Kara walked off the field, she looked up into the stands. SHe quickly pulled out her phone and snapped a photo. Then went to wait in the car grinning to herself ready to embarrass the shit out of Alex.
