Summer love

Falling

Lena's POV

Most of the time, I use my head to make decisions, not my heart. This night, everything I know is forgotten, like a sandwich in a student's locker. I'm not only making my decisions by my heart, but I'm being led by it as well. I have no control over what I'm doing. Oh, yeah, that's probably the whiskey.

Kara's warm body hasn't left my side for the whole evening after our conversation. I feel uncomfortable. I never share that much with someone and I definitly don't snuggle with them all the time. Like I said, my heart has taken over. And right now, it's taking me to the stage.

'What song?' I hear the voice echo in my head and I see two brown eyes looking at me.

'Hmm?'

Then I am pulled of the stage.

'What are you doing?' There are the familiar blue eyes I just love. Who was that man just now?

'Uhm, the ehm stage, I walked there and-' I burst out in laughter when I see Kara looking at me with a concerned expression. Then I stop because I'm very dizzy all of a sudden. A flurry of nausea hits and before I know it, I am hurried outside by Kara and puking my stomach out. She strokes my back and draws circles. When I'm done, she takes me to my tent.

'I need to brush my teeth.' I mutter as I look inside my bag.

'I don't think you're going to find your toothbrush in your laundry basket.' Kara says and laughs at me. Confused, I hold up my black laced panties.

'Oh oops.'

'I'll get it for you.'

Once we have brushed our teeth, Kara wishes me a good night sleep. A wave of sadness washes over me as she leaves for her own tent.

'Wait!'

She turns around and looks at me hesistantly. I don't know what I want either. Well I do, but I don't know how to articulate it.

'H-hold me?' I simply want to feel her warmth. It's like I'm getting addicted to it. I have never met a person who is so good at holding me. That sounds weird, but it's true. I think she makes me feel comfortable after all. And that's a rare thing for a Luthor. I had drifted off and am reminded of my question when I feel her strong arms around me.

I become pudding and sigh against her shoulder. Weirdly, the sigh brings tears to my eyes. They flow out smoothly but I'm not sobbing or anything. I just feel at peace and all the last worries I had, literally flow out. She is squeezing out every insecurity I have ever had. I give her cheek a peck to let her know that I think she is sweet.

'Do you want to keep holding me tonight? I just enjoy your hug so so much.' I look up at her with puppy eyes and she smiles at me while running a hand through my hair.

'Of course.'

The moonlight is being reflected on her pink lips and I want to feel them against me. But she moves away and takes me inside the tent.

'Are you okay?'

'Hmm, why?'

'You looked like you were going to faint.'

Oh shit that's what I look like when thinking about kissing someone? Gotta work on that.

'Oh yeah fine, just a little dizzy.'

'Okay, why don't you lie down then.'

I nod and fall onto the soft air matrass. It feels like I am sinking so deep into it that I reach the inside of the Earth. I fall and fall and realise that I am instantly drifting away to the dream world. But before I do, I feel myself being wrapped in my favourite pair of arms. I smell Kara's rose shampoo and I relax fully. Her hand is on my stomach and vaguely caresses it. I grab the hand. It's a little smaller than mine.

She reacts by giving me a long, tender kiss on my cheek before wishing me goodnight. It's already a good night. But secretly, I am also cursing inside. This night, I found out that she gives the best hugs ever and that no one could ever surpass them. But now, I have felt her oh so soft lips against my skin as well and I'm sure I'm not going to be able to get enough of those either soon enough. It scares the shit out of me.

But those are worries for later. Now there is just sleepiness on my mind. I accept that thought and my body responds by letting me fall into a deep sleep.

Kara's POV

The alcohol in Lena's body makes her fall asleep with ease but since I can't get drunk, I am still awake an hour later. And other hour. And another one. The adrenaline pumping through my body is keeping me up. I just can't slow down my heart rate. Everytime I think about the fact that I am holding a beautiful woman whom I, as I realised this night, surely am in love with, I freak out. And the worst part is, she probably feels the same way.

I mean, she kissed me on the cheek, basically begged me to sleep next to her and she initiated the hand holding, which is still a thing even though she has fallen asleep. But then I feel her hand slip out and her body turn. Another rush spreads throughout my body. She turns around and then she exhales, right onto my face. We are inches apart. I can smell the lipstick she forgot to wash off. With a face so red that it could function as a traffic light, I turn around.

My eyes are so tired, I just want to sleep. But that thought is interrupted when I feel Lena's arms wrap around my waist. I will never get enough of this feeling. I feel like a little mouse. Like I can finally be vulnerable Kara Danvers and not a Superhero who needs to always be strong. This holiday, everything is different. Everything that happens in France, stays in France.
