#alexstra

Who is a night owl: Alex and Astra are both accustomed to working late nights and can adjust their schedules accordingly. If they have some time off, Alex will go to bed early so she can get up and jog the next morning. Astra usually stays up a little later reading. (She still goes to bed at the same time as Alex though, because she likes cuddles.)

Who is a morning person: Alex (see above).

Are they cuddlers: They will both deny it to their dying breath, but yes. Very much so. Astra in particular is extremely tactile and will never pass up an opportunity to be touching her human in some way.

Who is the big spoon: Usually Astra, but sometimes if she’s feeling particularly sad or vulnerable Alex will be the big spoon instead.

Who is the little spoon: Alex.

What is their favourite sleeping position: Astra curls up like a cat when she sleeps. Alex sometimes wonders if it’s some kind of habit from her years in Fort Rozz. Alex usually winds up on her stomach, which concerns Astra because she’s afraid Alex will suffocate.

Who steals all the blankets: Shockingly enough, Astra. She’s an alien space heater but she still hogs all the blankets. Alex usually doesn’t care too much in the summer, but in the winter she gets really grumpy about it.

What they wear to bed: If all goes well, nothing! But if they’re tired or one of them is injured they usually wear t shirts and sleep pants. Sometimes Alex will wear boxers to bed as well.

Who likes seeing the other wearing their t-shirt: Alex likes seeing Astra in her shirts. Astra is just a little taller and so Alex’s shirts are just a tad short, which means Alex can see Astra’s very impressive abs.

Who falls asleep mid-conversation: Alex on occasions when she overworks herself. (It happens much more often than Astra would like.)

Who wakes up in the middle of the night with nightmares: Both, but Astra more so.

Who accidentally punched the other in their sleep: If Astra punches Alex it would most likely seriously injure her, and if Alex punches Astra she’d probably break her hand. So neither. 

Who can’t keep their hands to themself: Astra. Alex gets really embarrassed and flustered. Astra doesn’t care, she just loves to hug her human.

Who said “I love you” first: Honestly, these morons are so hopeless it could have been either. They’ve probably been in love for a while before one of them gets the guts to say it.

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background: Astra really doesn’t use her phone much, but she’d probably have a photo of Alex and Kara together. 

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror: Astra does, the sap. (Also because she uses ALL THE HOT WATER WHY DO YOU NEED THAT MUCH HOT WATER YOU CAN’T EVEN FEEL THE COLD ASTRA)

Who buys the other cheesy gifts: Astra. She does research on Earth dating customs and discovers that gift-giving is common, so she starts getting Alex flowers and chocolates. Alex is both flustered and amused.

Who initiated the first kiss: Alex. It took them both completely by surprise because they weren’t even on a date. They were in the middle of a battle, in fact. 

Who kisses the other awake in the morning: They usually get up around the same time, but whoever happens to wake up first will kiss the other. If Alex has been overdoing it, though, Astra lets her sleep for a while before waking her with breakfast.

Who starts tickle fights: Astra isn’t really ticklish because of her powers, but she’ll sometimes tickle Alex if she’s in a mischievous mood. Alex always retaliates by threatening to tell Vasquez who really ate their leftover chalupas from the break room fridge.

Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower: Both. These two are a couple of horny bunnies who can’t keep their hands off of each other.

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch:

Who was nervous and shy on the first date: Both of them, but Astra is better at hiding things like that because of her military background. When Astra confesses she was nervous a few months later, Alex is surprised.

Who kills/takes out the spiders: Alex. Astra H A T E S spiders. It amuses Alex to no end. (”Your skin is bulletproof and you’re strong enough to throw a tank and you’re scared of a little spider?” “WHY DOES IT HAVE SO MANY LEGS ALEXANDRA THAT IS HORRIFYING”)

this is super fluffy and not at all what I’m used to writting, but, alas, I hope you like it!

also it ties into my social medial AU, which you can find here

1. “What if I say no?”

Let’s be clear about something: she does not have time for this. They have to be across town in half an hour, tops, otherwise Cat fucking Grant will grill them for the rest of eternity and, honestly, Alex is not sure she is up for that.

Let’s be clear about something else: she is not completely against this interaction either. They have been away from each other for two months and Astra’s breath and lips and eyes so close to her are very persuasive.

Also, her girlfriend looks fan-fucking-tastic with this new, shorter haircut.

They already went off schedule, with Astra joining her in the bathroom and a quick cleansing to get off a workday’s residues turned into a forty-minute shower. They also took forever to get ready, acting like damn teenagers with kisses and full on make out sessions in between putting on pieces of clothing.

So now they are already super late and she guesses Kara is freaking out. They do not have time for this, but Astra knows her, knows what she likes and Alex is too weak and too liquid in this woman’s hand to put her foot down and get on with things.

“C’mon, I need my shirt.” She moves to grab said object half-heartedly, since, as much as Astra knows her, she knows Astra and is very much aware of the woman’s powers.

Sure enough, her girlfriend is located on the other side of the room in a blink.

“I beg to disagree, Brave One.”

“You know what? Fine. I rather wear anything else than to have Cat to deal with.” Alex turns, makes to get to her closet. She’s face to face with Astra before she can really process it. Again: predictable.

“I don’t think you understand me, Alexandra.” Astra steps forward, she steps back. She wonders if they’ll ever stop doing this dance, even after giving into each other so many times. “I disagree you need any shirts at all.”

A hand on her waist, warm, firm, inviting. Ugh. She wants this so bad. She’s missed it, thought about it a couple of times while coming home to an empty apartment, while sleeping in an empty bed and worrying if Astra’s mission overseas wasn’t too risky, bulletproof skin or not.

“Would you like it best if I just went like this? ‘Cause maybe I could.” She dares, raises an eyebrow. Imagines, for a moment, how the people waiting on them would react. Cat would probably laugh, Kara would scream and have her wrapped around something in a split second.

“Maybe. But I do not think my dear sister would be able to look you in the eye ever again.” Astra places her other hand on Alex, the soft material of the shirt she still holds contrasting with the slight roughness of her worn out fingertips. “No, Alexandra, I was thinking more along the lines of us staying home, tonight. Making up for lost time, as the saying goes.”

God, it’s tempting. So fucking tempting.

But nope, she will not allow them to be that couple, the head-over-heels-and-socially-exhiled-couple. And, besides, they promised Kara.

“I think, general,” Alex wraps a hand around Astra’s ribs, a leg on the woman’s calf and spins around quickly, letting their bodies fall into bed. “we can steal James cabin keys’ and stay there for a whole weekend. Just us. For that to happen, though, you need to behave tonight.”

Alex puts her elbows on the mattress for support, stares down and it ignites a little fluttering in her chest, the playfulness she finds in those green orbs.

“What if I say no?”

“Uhm,” She leans her head down, brushes their lips together (uses all her strenght not to turn it into an actual kiss) before pulling away. “I guess you’ll have to get used to being very frustrated in certain departments.”

Alex stands, pulling her shirt with her. She smiles with the grunt she hears as she slips the band tee over her head.

but my shipper heart says make it rain gay angst
