#eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

not actively really but hellz yea i’ll take that on they’re my sweet alien kids

Holiday Fic + The Big Damn Kiss god bless

my first instinct was to make this a christmakkuh fic but then i realized.......................halloween babey

brainy is well aware what halloween is. he’s seen the movie. wasn’t very fond of it. but when he realizes like it’s an actual thing, an actual holiday, it takes him a grand total of 0.00000008 nanosecond to learn everything about the fascinating culture

for kara, besides christmakkuh and tbh the horror movies, it’s kara’s second favourite holiday and she deems it her responsibility this year that they have a costume party. which means no superhero outfits at all. 

by now, thanks to the help of nia being a patient sweetheart and alex’s big sister energies, brainy has a slightly better understanding of the complexity of relationships and how they work, he also spent a good amount of time doing his own research watching romcoms 

so when querl ‘’i hide in closets to avoid party people’’ dox learns that kara wants to host a party, he’s surprisingly all for it, multitasking between work and costume ideas during work hours much to alex’s dismay again. 

he takes nia with him to go costume shopping and spends the entire time helping him with a knowing smirk as wanders in agony searching for the Perfect costume. 

“big fan of kara huh?” nia asks with a smirky smirk

“certainly. she’s legend and an icon in the future, anyone would be.”

“so we haven’t spent over an hour shopping for a costume because you don’t have a crush on her, right?”

“............a what now?”

the word crush isn’t new to him either, he’s not completely inept of earth customs. it’s just that maybe the word singes itself on his brain circuits for the next few weeks until halloween is right around the corner when he spends 12% of his time thinking about his friendship and alliance with kara, and how much he enjoys their discussions on film theory as the watch old black and white movies together at her apartment, one of his favourite 21st century locations 

i have it on good authority that kara’s dressing up as mario for the party, nia texts him, go as luigi she’ll love it :) :) :)

he goes as luigi. mustache and all. he’s learned to listen to nia better and so far, with the way kara’s eyes light up when she sees him, nia hasn’t let him down yet. 

they spend most of the party together as a pair, as if they planned this from the get go, drinking their alien alcohol being a big hit at the party but confusing most people with their inside jokes and finishing each other’s sentences. 

when they getting tipsy, a bright eyed and happy kara leans more into him and brainy’s happy to say that he’s very pleased with this evolution, even more so when nia (dressed as a banana) gives him a thumbs up, which also means he’s thoroughly unprepared when kara kisses him.

there’s a moment where he thinks he’s actually suffering from a BSOD 404 Error Not Found, because kara reciprocating any feelings towards him was something he absolutely did not calculate
