On my Island (Kara x Reader)

19. Kiss me Supergirl

Kara pov

After telling me about everything, and eating some fries, we're alone and it's late again. Sun has set and people have gone home for the day, even Alex has gone home to Maggie. We're almost all alone at the DEO and all i want to do is to ask her what she meant. You know, when she says she loves me too. I mean, it could have a million different meanings in our lives.

"I can feel you staring." Y/n says, her eyes still closed as she's trying to rest some more. But as i don't say anything she opens them and tilts her head, looking at me as i'm sitting in the chair next to her bed. And i wonder if she'll ever let me share it agin. "I see your wheels spinning, what's on your mind?"

"I was just thinking about what you said earlier, i don't even know if you were conscious or not but... i need to know what you meant by it..."

She cuts me off. "You mean when i told you i loved you too?" Her face is so gentle as she looks at me. As if there is not a care in the world, as if she didn't just almost die. I nod as i don't know what more to say. "Come here." She gently pulls my hand and i do as she says, coming closer. But apparently not close enough as she grabs my shirt and pulls me even closer. So close to her face that i'm almost touching her and my heart pounds in my chest, the rhythm echoing the pulsating air. "I meant this."

And then, our lips meet, a soft collision of passion and longing. It's electric, sending sparks flying through every nerve ending in my body. Time stands still as we lose ourselves in the kiss, the world around us fading into insignificance. I realise my hands are still on either side of her to catch me when she pulled me down while hers are at the back of my neck to keep me to her.

Her touch is like fire against my skin, igniting that wildfire of desire that consumes me form the inside out. I always knew i loved her, but this, this is a whole other level of feelings i've never experienced before. I press closer, desperate for it to never end, to lose myself in the what of the moment.

It's a kiss filled with raw emotion, with a depth of feeling that transcends words. In that fleeting instant, I feel as though I've found my home, my heart soaring as our lips move together in perfect harmony.

And as we finally pull away, breathless and dizzy with desire, I know that this is just the beginning of something extraordinary. Something that's going to last us until our last dying breaths.

"Oh." I breathe out and she laughs. And i realise that sometime during our kiss i had somehow managed to crawl into the bed with her.

"I think i'd like that date now." She says as we lock eyes and i see that she's being a hundred percent serious.

"What happened to never wanting to date again?" I don't realise it until i say it that my voice is nothing but a whisper as our faces are still close, her body practically pressed against mine in the tiny hospital bed.

"Lena brought up some interesting points, like how i could ever have put your through it all. Thinking i didn't love you the same way when i have for a long while, i've just been afraid of what it meant." I feel my heart sink, especially because she just admitted that she feels guilt over letting me think that. But for some reasons i think i've always known, i've just given her the space and time to figure it out on her own. "But when i was stuck in the house, being sick and everything, all i could thinks about was you."

"Me?"

"Yes, you Kara. And it was not my trust in you that told me you'd find me, but the love in my heart that was sure that you would. And you did." I don't even think as i close the small distance between us and press my lips against hers again. Just a light peck as she needs to get some more rest. As we pull apart she has that mesmerising smile on her lips and it feels like a punch in my gut.

"There's something i need to tell you." I should never have lied about it. I should have told her the moment i reached her car, the moment she had woken in the hospital. I should have apologised profoundly for making her paralysed, but i hadn't. All because i was scared.

"Don't. There is nothing you can tell me that i don't already know." And in her eyes it feels like it's true. But not this, she can't know this.

"It's about your accident." But her face doesn't change, she's still looking at me with love, with nothing but adoration.

"I know, okay, i've always known."

"But how?"

"Please, i've known you were Supergirl even before you came out to the city as Supergirl. I've always known you were special."

"How can you not hate me?" I avert my gaze from hers but she just puts her hands on either side of my face and forces me to meet it.

"Kara, no one died that day. You saved so many people. Imagine if you hadn't been there, it would have been worse that my legs being paralysed. You made sure that the ambulance got in to get me out. You saved me."

"But i also put you in danger."

"You're a hero Kara Danvers, you're my hero and you will always be just that." She kisses me again, still just a peck but i can still feel all of her feelings into it. "Now lie down so i can sleep, i'm really tired and i've missed you."

"That's okay, i'm never going anymore." I say as i pull her in closer and she lies half on top of me.

"Yeah, you better." I feel her smile against my chest and i place a kiss on her temple. I don't know how the worst moment in my life somehow become my best.
