Take place shortly after season 3. Lena and James never dated because just eww. And Lena knows Kara is Supergirl so there is no drama between them. May contain spoilers.
Kara laughed as Lena struggled to carry both the bags of food she brought over and a bottle of wine.
"Do you need help?" Kara asked as she almost dropped the wine.
"I got this," she said as she finally managed to make it to the coffee table.
"Proud of you," Kara said as she scrolled through the Netflix Que.
"Are you being sarcastic?" Lena mumbled as she sat down beside her.
"Not even a little bit," Kara teased.
Lena rolled her eyes as she stole Kara's blanket.
"Hey!" Kara exclaimed as she looked over to see Lena all cuddled up.
"Pick a movie already and we can share," she told her as she stuck her tongue out at her best friend.
"I'm working on it," Kara shot back as she finally picked one.
"Well what did you pick?" Lena asked as she tossed Kara the other end of the blanket.
"Beauty and the Beast," she said as she got comfortable.
"You're so adorable," Lena mumbled with a laugh as she made herself a plate.
Kara just blushed as she took it from Lena, "thank you."
Lena smiled, "no problem."
The two women finished off the movie and their food before Lena popped open the bottle of wine.
"I have some alien alcohol somewhere," Kara said with her head in the fridge.
"So this whole time you would just pretend to be buzzed?" Lena said with a pout.
"Well I couldn't let my identity get out," Kara told her as she found it and set it on the counter.
"Please I knew from the moment I laid eyes on you," Lena told her as she took a long swig of her wine.
"You did? How come you never said anything?" Kara asked.
"I wanted you to tell me when you were ready and you did," Lena said as she went to smell the alcohol. "Ugh that smells disgusting."
Kara laughed as she poured herself a glass, "well it will help me to keep up with you."
Lena's mouth dropped open, "are you calling me an alcoholic?"
"Not at all," Kara smiled sweetly as she took a long swig, grimacing as it went down.
Lena smiled as she clicked their glasses, "let the fun began."
Lena laughed as Kara struggled to turn on the stereo.
"This thing is broken," she slurred as she kept pressing the off button.
"Sweetie you are hitting the wrong button," Lena told her as she pushed the on button.
Kara's eyes lit up as an NSYNC song blasted through the speakers, "dance with me?" she asked Lena as she grabbed her hands and dipped her.
"Oh I was not ready for that," Lena laughed as she wrapped her arms around her best friend as they danced to the music.
They danced a little more before Kara suddenly stepped away, "let's play a game."
"Okay what kind of game?" Lena asked noticing the alcohol seemed to be wearing off a bit on both ends.
"I don't know," Kara mumbled with a blush.
Lena laughed as she took her hand and led her to the couch; she gently pushed her down before sitting beside her.
"Tell me about Krypton?" Lena asked as she gently reached over and took off Kara's glasses, she set them on the table before looking back towards her.
Kara beamed as she got this faraway look on her eyes as she told Lena everything about her home planet, her family, her friends, what it was like going back home and learning her mother was still alive.
Lena smiled as she listened intently to her every word, asking questions when she felt it were necessary. "Do you think you will go back permanently?" Lena asked her voice wavering a bit.
"I miss my mother, but you, Alex, James, J'onn and Winn, you guys are my home to," Kara told her.
Lena teared up a little at that she never had a family she could rely on, but now she knew she did.
"So how are things with you and James? I know he kissed you," Kara said her eyes shining with curiosity.
Lena frowned, "he's not really my type." Sure she he was cute, and treated her better now that he knew she wasn't out for blood and she hadn't been with anyone since Jack, she just couldn't seem to get any sparks from him.
"Aww that's too bad. Do you like anyone?" Kara asked as she leaned her head against the couch.
"I'm just exploring my options. I do miss the human touch sometimes, but the timing just hasn't been right," Lena told her.
"Yeah I know what you mean," Kara replied.
"Are you talking about Mon-El?" Lena asked as she also placed her head against the couch.
"I loved him a lot but when he came back, he was so different and more of the man I knew he could always be and it hurt because he is what I wanted but he is taken and I knew I had to let go."
"I'm really sorry again for the part that I played in sending him away," Lena said as she took Kara's hand.
"Stop it wasn't your fault," Kara tells her as she interlaces their fingers.
Lena just smiles as they continued to stare at each other.
"You're so beautiful," Kara says as she blushes. "Oh that was out loud."
Lena laughs as she cups Kara's cheek, "so are you love."
"You're not mad?" Kara asks.
"Why would I be mad?" Lena asks.
"Well when I was in high school I told this girl she was pretty and well she freaked out and didn't talk to me the rest of the year," Kara said sadly.
"Well she is an idiot, because you are the sweetest most loving, most beautiful, person I know," Lena told her as she squeezed her hand.
Tears welled up in Kara's eyes at her words, "really?"
"Really," Lena assured her as she kissed her forehead before wiping the tears that were falling from Kara's eyes.
"Thank you I needed that," Kara told her as she wiped her eyes.
"What are friends for?" Lena asked with a smile.
"So another movie?" Kara asked as she threw the blanket over her and Lena.
"Sure," Lena said as she and Kara cuddled as she started the movie.
The two shifted uncomfortably next to each other as a rather graphic sex scene played on screen.
Kara blushed as she looked towards Lena who was already watching her with amusement.
"So I umm didn't know this would be so graphic," Kara told her as she adverted her eyes.
"If you say so," Lena said with a wink as she glanced at the TV real quick.
Kara blushed as they way Lena was looking at her then the TV, she had to admit her best friend was breathtakingly beautiful and she would be lying to herself is she didn't say she didn't think about kissing her.
"Are you okay?" Lena asked as she turned off the movie and faced Kara.
Kara's face was bright red and she was breathing a little hard as images of her taking Lena on the couch flashed through her head.
"Kara?" Lena asked again.
"What?" Kara asked as she shook her head.
"I asked if you were okay." Lena asked again as she placed her hand on Kara's forehead.
Kara locked eyes with Lena as she licked her lips.
"Kara?" Lena whispered.
Kara threw caution to the wind as she kissed Lena deeply, Lena gasped as she opened her mouth for Kara's tongue. Both women moaned as their tongues slid against each other's.
Kara was the first to pull away her face bright red, "I'm so sorry."
"Don't be," Lena told her as she cupped her cheeks.
"Bed we should umm sleep," Kara said over her shoulder as she ran towards her bedroom.
Lena just shook her head as she followed, the light were already out as she slid in next to her best friend, her body felt warm as her arm grazed Kara's and her feet touched her own.
"Good night," she heard Kara whisper.
"Good night," Lena responded.
Both women's heart raced as they both longed to take things further but they both chose to ignore their urges as they tried to fall asleep.
When Kara awoke the next morning she frowned when she looked over to see the bed empty, she saw a note of the dresser as she reached over to grab it.
You looked so peaceful and adorable, I didn't want to wake you, I had a meeting I had to get to, that couldn't be rescheduled. Come by L-Corp for lunch? Hope to see you soon
Lena.
Kara beamed as she set the note down and went to take a shower.
