Work Text:
A breeze flows through Lena’s penthouse apartment, making it a little too cold for Kara’s liking. She covers herself with a decorative throw that was spread across the back of the couch and Lena doesn’t have it in her to tell her that isn’t what it’s there for, that she has other blankets for when it’s cold.
Still, she shifts closer and takes an end of the throw to cover herself with, stating that she’s absolutely freezing and that if they share a blanket then they will also end up sharing body heat and will, therefore, get warm quicker.
It’s the biggest pile of horseshit that’s ever come out of her mouth but she’s pretty happy with it because it means she can snuggle with Kara on the cold October night.
“It’s Halloween tomorrow.” Kara grins.
Lena can’t help but smile back at the joyous face of her new girlfriend. Kara had accidentally admitted her feelings for her during one of her adorable ramblings less than a week ago and now they are trying to navigate the changes in their relationship as they transition from platonic to romantic. “I’m aware.”
Kara rolls her eyes. “I know that, silly. I mean, what are we going to do about it?”
“Why do we have to do anything about it?” Lena pulls the fabric of the throw-up a little more, feeling the cold and still being a little too unsure of herself to snuggle any closer to Kara.
Kara seems to notice how cold Lena is and takes the initiative to pull her closer until their sides are flush and their arms hooked together beneath the throw. “Because while we can’t do anything special this year because everyone is too busy to find a day where the whole group can meet for a get-together, we have to do something. I’m thinking a prank.”
Lena grimaces. “I don’t know how to nicely tell you that you’re terrible at pranks and that we absolutely shouldn’t do that.”
Kara thinks about arguing. She really thinks about trying to prove that statement to be false, but she doesn’t even have one good prank under her belt. She needs a new tactic. “That’s because I was always trying to do them alone. I have a new partner in crime now.”
Lena shakes her head. “No, absolutely now, although we do need to tell the others we’re together now, transparency and all that jazz.”
Kara’s eyes light up. “What if we tell them we’ve been together for like three years and see if they question it?”
“We had our falling out two years ago, they would never believe that.”
“So we tell them we got together right after you guys rescued me from the Phantom Zone, it’s foolproof.”
A soft thud comes from the back of the couch when Lena drops her head back. “Why do you want to tell them that so bad? Why do you want to tell them that we’ve been together for much longer than we have been? We haven’t even gone on a proper first date yet.”
A flush rises to Kara’s cheeks and her head ducks down, clearly embarrassed to have been called out. “I – Alex has been making fun of me for the past year for sort of um…pining after you. I wanted to get her back.”
It takes a lot of effort for Lena to suppress her smile, completely blown away by the response, she wasn’t expecting that as an answer, she doesn’t even know what she thought Kara would say but that is definitely not it.
Kara sneaks a glance up at her, the flush spreading down from her cheeks to spread nicely over her collarbones, making them look all the more kissable. “Did I make it weird?”
“No.” Lena leans her elbow on the back of the couch behind Kara’s head, resting her head against her fist.
Kara is acutely aware of how close Lena is sitting to her and it takes everything in her to resist the urge to pull her closer and kiss her until she runs out of breath.
Lena smirks as she hears Kara’s breath hitch. “You’re cute.”
It lands perfectly, leaving Kara breathless and blushing an even deeper shade of red, if that’s even possible. “Flatterer.”
“I’m trying to flatter you into dropping the prank idea, I think that we can just spend the day together instead, we can binge Halloween movies and bake cookies in the shape of pumpkins.” Lena leans in to press her lips against Kara’s in a fleeting kiss that leaves the blonde yearning for more.
Kara twists her lips to the side as she thinks, trying to evaluate her options, and looking adorable, and she does so. “That sounds really nice but think about it, we could do a different prank.”
“Like what?”
“We could cover ourselves with sheets and jump out at them doing a ghostly moan to freak them out I could even float and light up my eyes to make it extra spooky.” Kara’s eyes light up as each new idea pops into her head, making Lena fall a little bit more in love with her.
Lena’s not focusing on Kara’s cuteness anymore though, with each new bit of excitement Kara was gesticulating with her hands, making the throw slide down to her waist and exposing her arms. The arms that are currently wrapped nicely in a very tight shirt that makes all of her muscles pop and trigger some very non-PG thoughts in Lena’s mind.
Kara freezes when she becomes aware of the smirk on Lena’s face and the predatory glint in her eye. “What?”
“You’ll be moaning tomorrow, that’s for sure. It just won’t be a ghostly moan.”
The visible gulp that Kara takes does nothing to quell the burning desire that is flowing freely through Lena.
Kara doesn’t retort. She doesn’t reply and she doesn’t argue. She just kisses her.
She kisses her with a fire that Lena hasn’t felt in a long time and it’s burning brighter than any fire she has ever felt before. It doesn’t hurt though, just makes her work harder and faster. It makes her desperate for Kara and all that she is.
Her hands find the edge of the damned shirt and rip it off of Kara in one smooth motion, taking in the subtle little goosebumps that have risen on her skin as she runs her lips over her collarbone.
“Cold?”
“A little.”
“I think it’s warmer in my bed.”
Kara’s grin is back and before Lena can register what’s happening Kara has her lifted up off the couch and is already heading for the bedroom.
“Pranks are lame anyway, we should just stay in. I’m not sure how many movies we’ll get through though.” Kara drops her on the bed, scrambling to pull back the duvet and rid them of their clothes.
“I don’t give a fuck about the movies.” Lena’s voice is impatient and needy. It’s just enough to get Kara to use a little touch of her superspeed to get them naked.
Lena’s very much looking forward to what else Kara’s powers can do for her tonight.
