Last Night

Chapter 8

Kara and Lena were out for a walk in the park with their new pet. The dog had settled in nicely at Lena's, and the two were nearly inseparable. They had decided to name the dog Krypto, because he reminded Kara of her home.
"Hey Kara?" Lena said pulling Kara out of her thoughts.
"Yeah Lee?"
"What are we going to say when people ask what Krypto's name is? Do you think we should give him a nickname just in case?"
"Ooh! I never thought of that!" Kara exclaimed. "Hey he can have a secret identity just like me." Kara joked. "Hmm... what about Kyle? Or Karl?" Kara suggested.
"Uhh I don't think those are really dog names..." Lena said trying not to laugh.
Kara pretended to pout. "What so you want to call him Biscuit or Spot or something?"
"I was thinking more like... Cisco?" Lena suggested.
"Astro!" They both exclaimed simultaneously.
"Astro it is then." Lena said laughing.
"Hey it looks like it's going to rain, we should head back soon." Kara said looking up at the grey clouds starting to form. They were on they're way back to Lena's when the first drops started to fall. Soon it was pouring and Kara and Lena were running, and just short of dragging Krypto who seemed fascinated by the rain. By the time they made it back to Lena's apartment they were all soaked. Krypto shook his coat out spraying Kara and Lena with water.
"Ahh gross! He smells terrible!" Kara exclaimed. "Lena we have to give him a bath, do you have dog shampoo?"
"Yes you made me buy out half the pet store so I 'would be prepared'" Lena teased. Kara just laughed and pulled Lena and Krypto into the bathroom. Lena turned on the tub and Kara gently lifted Krypto up and set him inside. Lena grabbed the shampoo and squeezed some into both her and Kara's hands, and they started rubbing it into Krypto's fur. Suddenly Krypto shook, leaving Kara and Lena splattered with soap. They both squealed then burst out laughing. Lena had bubbles all over her face so Kara leaned in to wipe them off. Kara stared into Lena's eyes and was leaning in closer and closer until their lips could almost touch. While she had Kara distracted Lena had scooped up a handful of bubbles and was slowly bringing her hand up behind Kara's head. Lena squished her mountain of bubbles down Kara's neck and Kara let out a yelp of surprise.
"Ohh that's it, you're on!" Kara exclaimed, whipping around to get some bubbles of her own. Lena squealed and tried to run but Kara was too fast. They were both laughing as Kara pinned Lena down and smeared bubbles all over her face. They both laughed and Lena pulled Kara down until their lips finally met. When they pulled apart Lena couldn't help but laugh, Kara had gotten the bubbles all over her face.
"You've got a little..." Lena said laughing and gesturing to her face. Kara raised an eyebrow and laughed. "I love you."
"I love you too." Lena replied reaching up for another kiss. Suddenly Krypto jumped out of the tub and shook out his still sudsy coat. Kara and Lena squealed and jumped apart. Krypto took off at a run through the apartment.
"Krypto no!" Kara exclaimed through her laughter. Lena and Kara raced after Krypto trying to catch him before he got everything soaked. They had finally managed to catch Krypto and finish washing and drying him and were laying on the couch played out from all the excitement.
"Thank you." Lena said reaching up to tuck Kara's hair behind her ear.
"For what?" Kara asked slightly confused.
"For everything. For making me adopt this goofball." She said nudging Krypto with her foot. "For loving me. I don't think I've ever laughed this hard." Kara leaned down to kiss Lena.
"I love you." She said when they pulled apart.
"I love you too." Lena replied deepening the kiss.
