Day 20: Green.

"Kara, I don't know about this!"

"I won't let anything happen to you I promise! Don't you trust me, Lena?"

"Implicitly, darling. However I'm not so sure that I..."

"I've got you, Lena! C'mon! Just come flying with me!"

Kara flashed those baby blues at Lena and all of her reservations about flying went out the window. It wasn't the first time she'd been carried through the sky in Kara's arms, but every other time it had been out of necessity. She'd been poisoned, there was an assasination attempt and she needed to be flown to safety, etc. She knew that Kara would never let her fall - although there had been one time when Kara nearly crashed them into a building when Lena accidentally gripped her breast instead of her shoulder - but this was different. This was Kara wanting to fly leisurely around the city with Lena to watch the sunset. It was incredibly romantic, truly, but that didn't stop Lena from being nauseous just thinking about it.

"Oh, Alright. But go slow, and not too high please."

Kara squealed with joy as she scooped Lena into her arms and flew out the window and high up into the sky. The view was extraordinarily beautiful, and the way Kara's eyes lit up as they shared this experience together was indescribable. Lena wanted so badly to enjoy herself, so she did her best to focus on the beautiful colors of the sunset and the feeling of being held in her girlfriend's arms. It worked for a while, she truly was having a good time until she stupidly looked down and saw exactly how high up they were. Kara's loft was nearly 800 feet high, and they were currently at least 200 feet above it.

"Kara...Kara I...I don't feel so good. I think I'm going to be sick."

"Hang on!"

Kara quickly - but carefully - flew them back down just in time for Lena to throw up in the trash bin of the rooftop garden. As Lena continued to be sick, Kara flew off only long enough to grab a couple bottles of water from her loft and was right back at Lena's side, rubbing her back with one hand and holding her hair back with the other.

"I'm so sorry, Lena. I shouldn't have pressured you to come flying with me."

Lena sat down and laid back against Kara, enjoying the feeling of being held by the woman she loved more than anything in the world as she cooled her hands with her freezebreath and held them to Lena's face and neck. There was something so intimate about being taken care of in this way. No expectations, nothing sexual, just pure love and comfort.

"It's quite alright, Kara. I loved watching the sunset with you. Maybe we can watch it from a mountain top from now on? Feet firmly on the ground?"

"Deal. Are you feeling better? You still look a little green."

"I just need to catch my breath a bit more and then we can head downstairs."

"I guess this would be a bad time to ask you..."

"Ask me what Kara?"

"Nothing. I wanted it to be special and romantic, but you've been throwing up for the last 10 minutes so now would be the LEAST romantic time to ask you to mar..."

"The answer will be, yes!"

"What?"

"Ask me.

"Lena, you just..."

"Kara Danvers, you either ask me to marry you right now or I'll ask you before you get the chance."

"You wouldn't..."

"Tell that to the ring hidden under your pillow at this very moment..."

Not willing to be beaten to the punch, Kara pulled a beautiful rose gold diamond ring from her boot and held it out in front of Lena - since they were already sitting.

"Lena Kieran Luthor, will you marry me?"

"I'll consider it."

"LENA!"

"Just kidding," laughed Lena as she held her hand out for Kara to slide the ring onto her finger. Once there, Kara leaned in for a kiss but was stopped by a hand on her mouth.

"No, no kissing, I've got a vomit breath."

"Don't care. Kiss me anyway."

"As you wish."
