—————————————————————————
as a teacher, you were always busy— pulling all nighters, grading papers, still stuck at school past the closing time, even forgetting to eat
but its a good thing that kara was here to save the day
she texted you that she was on her way, a bag of take-out in her hand while jogging up the stairs to your apartment (you made her promise she wouldn’t use her powers in public). kara expected to find you sprawled on the couch, probably grading papers or half asleep after a long day at school.
but instead, she heard your voice as she reached through the door— thanks to her super hearing
“—and does anyone know the answer to question three?”
kara’s hand on your doorknob paused as she raised a silent eyebrow. then, your voice came again, but with a little more encouragement
“that’s okay, mr bear. take your time”
okay, now that made kara blink in confusion. who were you talking to? what were you talking to? of course, curiosity got the better of the kryptonian
and the moment she used her super vision to see what was happening behind the closed door, she had to immediately bite down on a laugh— you, standing in front of the room with a whiteboard balanced against a chair and six teddy bears sitting in front of you
what made it even more funny was the fact that the seatings of the teddy bears were arranged, like students
slowly and quietly, kara used the spare key you gave her and entered your apartment, biting her bottom lip to hold back a sound from escaping. standing in your doorway, she was able to see how one of the teddy bears had little reading glasses on its face while another had a pencil tucked under its arm. there was even a notebook in front of the largest one
and the worse part? you were taking this very seriously
“excellent effort” you pointed at the bear with the glasses, oblivious from your girlfriend’s presence. “your handwriting has improved significantly”
kara had to put a hand over her mouth as you continued pacing. “now class” you continued. “remember that fractions are our friends”
a beat
“no, mr bear. we do not throw erasers at our classmates”
kara’s shoulders shook with silent laughter. you were practicing for tomorrow’s lessons and here was kara, just focusing on how adorable you looked
you picked up a marker and drew something on the board. “can anyone tell me why three-fourths is larger than one-half?” you turned around to glance at the stuffed audience
silence passed through before you nodded. “excellent answer, princess fluffles”
nope, that was kara’s last straw before a snort escaped from her. and the sound made you whip your head toward the door, the color on your face immediately draining from the realization that kara— your beautiful, strong girlfriend— had just watched you teach math to teddy bears
both of you stared at each other. you stood frozen beside your pretend classroom, while kara stood frozen at the doorway
then, kara burst out laughing, the take-out bag almost falling from her grasp. you just groaned, trying to act composed despite the embarrassed flush on your face. her free hand was on her stomach, trying to catch her breath. “oh my— oh my god!”
“kara!” you exclaimed and that just made her wheeze louder, her free hand on her stomach for dear life. “im sorry!” she laughed. I wasn’t spying!”
“you were absolutely spying”
“i was bringing dinner!” she held up the take-out bag as evidence
you groaned, burying your face in your hands from showing kara your face blushing even more. “i can’t believe this” you mumbled, not knowing how to live this down
kara stepped inside, closing the door behind her with her leg and still smiling. “no, no. this is adorable”
“it is not adorable”
“it is”
“its not”
placing the take-out bag down, kara walked over to your ‘students’ and crouched beside the biggest bear in the corner. “this one seems very intelligent” she pointed, making you sigh dramatically and your lips twitch with a smile
kara looked up at you, her smile softening. “you practice lessons with teddy bears?” she asked, her voice carrying fondness
you just looked away in embarrassment. “…sometimes” your confession was in a murmur, making kara raise an eyebrow and smirk at you with an all-knowing look. “sometimes” she wasn't convinced
that made you point at her. “dont”
“im not judging”
“yes you are”
“im actually impressed”
and honestly? kara was. the set up was to die for— the tiny name cards, the little worksheets, a sticker chart; it all made kara’s heart melt. of course you did this, of course you cared about your students enough to practice beforehand, of course you wanted lessons to go smoothly. it was such a you thing— a thing kara has always loved you for
“hey” she called out softly, making you glance up and notice kara’s smile. “i think it’s sweet.” and that made your embarrassment slightly ease up
“…really?”
“really”
kara sat up and stepped closer, her expression turning fond. “they’re lucky to have you” she murmured, your cheeks immediately warming up more than they were. kara’s gaze softened at the sight of you, reaching over and gently squeezing her hand
until her eyes lit up and her smile widened with a look— a look you knew all too well
“wait”
“no”
“what if—"
“no”
yet despite yourself, you spent the rest of the night teaching your teddy bears and your new kryptonian student with a smile on your lips that failed to be hidden and love in kara’s eyes that she didn’t bother to hide
