Supercorp: The Celestial

Chapter 22: Put Your Head On My Shoulder

let's all take a moment and remember this scene...... how could lena ever hate kara???? @@@@ writers if they fuck up season 5

————————————————————————

Lena goes to talk to Kara. It is back stage and in a private room. The interview had just ended and the interviewer's looks and advances started to annoy the jealous audience member, Lena.

Kara can recognize the tapping of Lena's heels as she walks towards her. She tilts her head towards the proud brunette as she begins to speak. "Was Tucker just flirting with you on live television?" Kara dips her head down and smiles as she twiddles her thumbs before she speaks. "He'll be real disappointed once he finds out I'm dating a member of the infamous Luthor family." Lena grins at Kara's sarcasm and validation of their newly developing relationship.

"I didn't know what to say to him so I accidentally invited him to Al's Bar." Kara anxiously puts her hands on her cheeks. "Was that bad? I mean I didn't think he'd actually agree." Lena can only chuckle at the nervous girl in front of her.

"Wow guys must have really hated you in high school. You just can never say no to plans." Kara slouches down and sighs. "I pretty much have friend zoned every guy who's ever liked me." Lena guides the guilty feeling girl out the door so they can drive to the party together. "My sweet Kara, you are just too nice. I don't think there is a single mean bone in your body. Tonight I'm going to teach you how to turn a man down." Lena laughs into the distance as she walks with her love in her arm to the car.

Kara thinks to herself as Lena's arm is tightly wrapped around her.

This is a feeling I could definitely get used to. Just me and her.

They begin driving to the bar. Kara stares out the window as she watches the city lights move past her.

I hope I can turn Tucker down without hurting his feelings. He will understand. Right? I've turned down many kisses and sexual advances but I can never say no to a guy asking me out. I always feel bad if I don't give them a chance. There were so many guys who tried to kiss me and I just couldn't go through with it. Kenny, Winn, all of the boys in high school... even James at some point. A part of me has always wanted this picture perfect normalcy. But I've never really had a connection when normal stuff came my way. My attractions were never really there. They were just me being attracted to the idea of being with someone, not the guy themself. Mon-El was the only one that was different because I felt a connection to him being an alien like myself. Being similar and being from the same solar system helped. At least I think that's what allowed me to tolerate Mon-El. I guess I had mistaken all of my failures with dating due to being an alien and not feeling normal. But I think it was a combination of my queerness and need for a deeper connection. I just could never connect to people who were unlike me, people who could fit into society, and live out their ordinary lives.

"You're so quiet. What are you thinking about?" Lena has just been calmly driving while soft orchestral music plays from her car's speakers. Kara was so deep in thought it takes her a moment to respond.

"I was just thinking about how all of the guys who ever liked me never worked out. It was always missing something. Something I know I've found with you." Lena didn't expect this at all, her heart flutters at the romantic words of Kara. "What have you found... with me?"

"I didn't realize it until I was up on stage. All I could feel from the crowd was your singular presence within it. Like the first time I met you. Like we are connected somehow." Lena couldn't agree more. "I-I feel it too. I didn't know what to do with this compellable feeling I constantly had, so I suppressed it. It wouldn't go away even if I was with people who should have let it diminish. My heart couldn't handle being so close to you all the time but emotionally distancing myself to protect it from breaking." They have just pulled into the parking lot to Al's Bar. Kara feels the need to burst out if she doesn't gush her feeling to Lena.
