He'll Never Love You Like Me

She Loves Me More

Lena's POV
----------
Supergirl came back for me, and because of it, I felt this warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. For once in my life, I'm cared for, by two amazing people: Supergirl and Kara. I'd be a wreck without them both. Supergirl reminds me a lot of Kara, actually. They both have a bright and cheery complexion, even when angry. Supergirl's eyes are also the same grey-washed blue that Kara's are, the same eyes that I love staring into so much. They have so many similarities, you'd think they were the same person!

Nuzzling up to her, I could feel a gentle heat coming from her body. All that hard work she does, must make her exhausted. But I just wanted to stay in that moment forever. Supergirl's warmth was beyond comforting. It's all I needed.

Things fell quiet for a few moments, before Supergirl calmly spoke again.
"Lena, there was something you wanted to tell me?"

I opened my mouth, but no words came out. Talking about your true, raw emotions is harder than it's made out to be.
"I- I uhm..."

"It's okay, take your time. I'm right here listening. I'm not going anywhere." Supergirl said, brushing my shoulder.

"I told Kara earlier that James was cheating. I'm guessing she told you, because you came to help me... But even before today, I've been having these thoughts... These fantasies and dreams in my head, about someone other than James."

Supergirl's only response was a nod, beckoning me to continue.

"I didn't want to tell Kara because... Well, for a few reasons actually. I felt like these thoughts were impure. I had a boyfriend, I shouldn't be thinking of someone else. That kind of made me feel like a cheater too, bringing me down to James' level. I didn't want Kara to think badly of me..."

"No, no Lena! Not at all!" Supergirl said, with a hint of concern. "It's only cheating if you act on those feelings, which you didn't! You kept them to yourself, unlike James."

"Yeah..." I buried my head deeper into Supergirl's shoulder. "But you see... I tried to..." I mumbled.

Supergirl placed her hand on the side of my head and gently brushed my cheek with her thumb.
"That's okay Lena, it really is. You shouldn't feel bad abou-"

"But Supergirl, I should feel bad! She's my best friend!"
All my emotions exploded. I felt like I shouldn't have said that out loud, but somehow, I did. I froze for a few seconds, as I thought back to the words that just left my mouth. Maybe I'd kept it on the low. I don't think Supergirl would've realised who I was talking about, until now. Of all things, I had to say 'she'?! Gosh, I'm so stupid.

"Lena." Supergirl firmly stated.

The sudden tone in her voice startled me.
"Actually, no. It's okay. I don't want to talk about this anymore." I hastily stammered, trying to change the subject. I made an attempt to stand up, but she held me down to the ground.

"Lena, you're going to talk to me about this, wether you like it or not."

I found my eyes darting around the room. After what I just said, I couldn't bring myself to look her in the face.
"Look at me Lena." She grasped my face, forcing me to look at her.

"What more is there to tell?! You already know who it is..."

"No Lena, I don't know. That's why I want you to tell me. Who is it you like?"

Personally, I wouldn't use the word 'like'. These feelings inside me were a lot stronger than that. I suppose a more fitting word would be 'love'. But I still couldn't say it. It took me enough tries, just to get a sound to come from my mouth. I sounded like a broken record player, repeating the same 'k' sound, over and over.

I think she could tell what was coming. She repositioned her body, so that she was sat on her knees, facing me. She held my hands and gripped them tightly. It felt like she was trying to praise me for being open about my feelings.

"K-Kara... Kara Danvers... I am in love with Kara Danvers." My confidence grew, the more times I said it. When suddenly, the realisation hit me that this was the first time, announcing my crush out loud. I pressed my hands to my lips, shutting myself up. I looked to Supergirl for reassurance, but her head was hung low.

"Lena... I... I think I have something I need to tell you as well..."

She shuffled over, grabbing the bag that I left by my desk for later.

"Kara gave me that earlier. I've been so caught up with all of this, that I've not even opened it yet."

"Kara... She has a secret too." Supergirl said, fumbling through the bag.

My heart sunk. This could only be bad news. Supergirl and Kara are so close, they must share secrets all the time. Her body language said it all. The droopy head, the sad eyes, this wasn't going to be good.

Shuffling back over to me, she asked me if I could shut my eyes. I didn't know what she had found in that bag, but I gulped and I did as she commanded. My vision faded to black, as the room around us grew silent.

"Now open." she said.

Placed across the bridge of her nose, were a pair of black glasses, identical in shape to Kara's. My eyes shot open as the realisation hit me.

"Kara?!" I softly gasped.

I didn't feel sad or upset, but this overwhelming emotion brought me to tears. The eyes, the way she giggled, her murky blonde hair... It all made sense... Supergirl is Kara.

I couldn't see her through the streams of tears, flooding from my eyes, but I felt her pull me close. I wasn't sure how to feel about this. It all made sense, but at the same time, it was also confusing?
"You don't have to understand it at the moment, Lena. I get that this is hard for you. I just want you to know that I like you. I always have and I always will."

She pecked me on the forehead, and then made her way down to my nose. She left a tiny kiss there too. I closed my eyes, as I could sense her lips coming for mine. Cupping the underside of my chin, she pulled my face in close to hers. Just like the rest of her body, her breath was warm. So were her lips...

This was a familiar feeling, yet, it was so much more overpowering. I could feel it in the way she kissed me. She was in love, and so was I. This love was so much stronger than what I'd felt with James.

I could tell that she loves me more.
