Kara has a new fixation, something she can't put down. Some kid had given her a Rubik's Cube after Supergirl had found his dog. She had been intent on figuring out how to solve it, and actually did it only an hour later with no help. Lena is actually impressed. Sometimes she forgets how smart her girlfriend is because most of the time she's just a dork.

But now Kara can't put it down. Now it's a problem.

Lena's eyes follow intently as Kara's hands move the cube seamlessly. Her fingers move faster than she can keep up with, angled and curling quickly and so perfectly.

She clears her throat but can't pull her gaze away. There's a blur of color until the blonde slams it down, clapping her hands together with a giddy laugh.

"Did you see?" Kara asks excitedly. "I think that was pretty fast that time. Do you think I could be in one of those competitions?"

"I think using superspeed might be considered cheating."

Kara feigns a gasp. "Lena I would never !"

Lena rolls her eyes and goes back to typing out an email on her laptop. She tries to focus, needs to because her lawyers are sorting out a civil case LCorp shouldn't even be involved in and if she doesn't get it done...

But the way Kara's fingers move with precision draws her eyes in. She can't look away. Each knuckle bends with fine control that leaves Lena's heart beating fast.

"I think I'm gonna go into L-Corp today." Lena closes her laptop shut and stuffs it into her bag.

"Okay. When are you getting home?" Kara asks without even looking up.

"When I have no more emails left to answer."

"Alright. Love you!" The blonde tilts her head up for a kiss as Lena stands. She only gives her a peck, not sure she'd be able to force herself to leave if she went any further, and marches out the door.

When Lena returns with Chinese takeout at six o'clock, Kara is on the balcony, now with a much larger Rubik's Cube. The edges are more rounded but still in a cubic shape. She looks halfway finished.

"When did you get that?"

Kara shrugs. "I needed more of a challenge."

"I didn't even know they came that big." When Kara doesn't answer, Lena drops the takeout on the table. "I brought potstickers."

Kara smiles and sits up straight, finishing whatever algorithm she was in the middle of. "I'm starving!"

"I know." The ravenette sits down and unpacks the food. She sets out five containers next to Kara and two next to herself.

"How was emailing important people?" Kara asks, opening a box and stuffing an entire potsticker into her mouth.

"I got it done. At least now I don't have to worry about it anymore. Until tomorrow morning probably." Lena scoops chowmein up with her shopsticks.

"You have to stop working on the weekends."

Lena only hums as she chews, bending her head back and forth to alleviate the soreness. Kara stands up then, rounding her chair and putting her hands on Lena's shoulders. Her thumbs dig into the tight muscle, making Lena moan as she swallows.

"Just stay home tomorrow. It's Sunday. You need to relax." The blonde kisses the top of Lena's head.

"Maybe.," Lena says noncommittally. "If you stop playing with the Rubik's Cube."
