Forgotten Melodies (Lena X Reader)

Being Neighborly

(Y/n) stood back and admired her handy work, if she was stuck in National city, then she needed her sanctuary to be perfect.

She'd known the moment she'd walked through the door that the place was perfect; it even had a balcony that looked out o to the city.

The kitchen and the living room opened out onto each other in a big spacious area. Through a white door situated by the side of the widescreen television, a door led out into a bathroom and a room that (Y/n) had decided to use for her photography.

To the right of the door, a wooden staircase with black cast-iron railings led to an upstairs where the bedroom. The wall that separated the living room from the bedroom was made of glass. To the other side of the bedroom, the railing led onto a little landing that, in turn, led to the balcony door.

(Y/n) had loved the futuristic style, it almost reminded her of her home.

Almost nothing was ever truly like her home.

And yet, this place was home.

Proud of her achievement (Y/n) slumped down into the comfort of her brand new bluish-grey couch and switched on the tv.

A great smile on her lips, a cinnamon candle burned away on the kitchen counter terrified that filled her home with a festive feeling.

Her little slice of heaven was free of drama, Andrea didn't exist here, Lena was nowhere to be seen. Overexcited journalists were barred from entry. This was a safe haven.

Knock, knock.

"Spoke too soon." (Y/n) sighed begrudgingly rising to her feet and opening the front door.

"It's you!" The startled redhead said.

"Indeed it is, tell me, Doctor; are you making house calls now?" (Y/n) raised an interested eyebrow.

"I'm afraid it comes with a dose of I'll kick your ass." Alex joked.

"Ouch, that's harsh."

"Yeah, well, don't hit on your taken neighbor." Alex reprimanded the woman. "Especially when I saw you at game night, your eyes never left a certain person."

(Y/n) frowned. "Neighbour?"

"I live down the hall." Alex pointed with her thumb. "I saw the moving trucks and hot curious, I've been after this place for a year. It's like I blinked, and it was gone."

"You snooze, and you lose I'm afraid, my friend Nate always says that." (Y/n) said knowingly, and boy didn't she know what that felt like.

"Weird you bought this place, Kara keeps telling me we'd be good friends," Alex said, peeking into the apartment through the door.

"You want to look around inside, don't you?" (Y/n) smirked.

"Can I?" Alex's whole face lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Come on." (Y/n) smiled, standing aside for Alex to enter, closing the door behind her Alex, gazed around her with an open mouth it was nothing like her apartment.

"Wow, this is amazing," Alex said with awe as she entered, her head falling from left to right soaking in the simplistic yet impressive surroundings.

"I work fast." (Y/n) laughed, slotting her hands in the back of her denim jeans. "Drink? I cant offer coffee. I'm afraid I've never quite got into why you humans love it."

"Excuse me?" Alex asked, suspiciously her dark eyes trained on (Y/n).

The photographer didn't bat an eye, deflected toon was a natural skill to master. "Yes, you humans, I'm not quite sure I'm ready to claim my heritage yet, after the horrors I've seen perpetrated by humans."
