Kara & Lena (english version)

Lena's POV

OMG. Sleeping in the same BED with KARA? She probably wants to kill me right now. My heart was racing, but I tried to answer as calmly and composed as possible as I replied, "Eh, yeah sure we can do that".

She just nodded gratefully and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed.

I did the same but in her room. I put on her pajamas, which smelled like her. I smelled them and realized that her oversized pajamas are my new favorite outfit to wear. It felt so good to be enveloped by her scent.

My thoughts were interrupted by a message on my phone. When I saw the message, I was brought back to reality. I had to tell Kara about this... But not until tomorrow, after I had cleared everything up. I didn't want to hide anything from her anymore, but she wasn't 100% well right now, so this could wait. At least wait until tomorrow.

When Kara came out of the bathroom, she watched me and smiled broadly.

"Is something wrong?", I asked. She was silent, came to me, and laughingly pulled on my pajamas. "Shall I give you something else to wear? That's pretty big for you" I looked down and analyzed what I was wearing. "No, it's okay. I like it when it's a little bigger" and when it smells like you.... but I preferred to keep that to myself. Kara just shrugged her shoulders and looked at the bed.

"Do you want the left or the right side?" she asked instead. I smiled and pointed to the left side, where I had slept yesterday.

We lay in bed almost 1 meter apart and looked at each other. "Thank you Lena for staying here with me," Kara said half sleepy. "Always," I whispered, but I don't know if she heard.

"Good night Kara," I said a little louder. Kara's eyes closed and she murmured with a smile, "Good night' Lee". Then she turned to the other side and I couldn't see her face anymore. So I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but I couldn't get the fact out of my head that Kara had just called me Lee. Was that her new nickname for me now? And why only now and not earlier? Had anything changed between us during the last 2 days? I felt closer to her and could no longer deny my feelings for her.

I was awakened by a flurry of activity. At first, I was confused about where I was, but I quickly realized that I was in Kara's bed and the crying was coming from Kara. I called out to her softly, but she didn't hear me. She was shaking and talking in her sleep. It must have been another nightmare because of the Phantom Zone. All of a sudden I heard her mumble, "N-no no no...no please.... Please don't leave me. Stay with me please... no don't go... please...". There was so much sadness, fear, and vulnerability in her voice that my heart tightened. I don't like Kara suffering like this and I need to help her. That's why I approached her and slowly put my arms around her and pulled her to me. I held her in my arms and slowly whispered in her ear, "Everything will be all right, Kara. I am here with you. I will never leave you, baby girl". I feel Kara became calmer and her heartbeat slowed down again.

I am relieved that she is feeling better and really happy that I was able to calm her down. Kara suddenly snuggled closer to me and hugged my arms. She let out a contented sigh and was back in a deep sleep. I had to smile. I liked being close to her and I liked being the big spoon. I had never seen Kara so vulnerable and I would protect her with my life. Supergirl or not. I buried my face in Kara's hair and took in her scent. Yep, I could get used to sleeping like this all the time. I don't know how Kara will react tomorrow when she sees us embraced like this, but I didn't want to think about it. I just wanted to enjoy this moment and etch it in my memory forever.
