Sitting on the edge of the cot, Alex intently watches as you pace back and forth in front of her, animatedly ranting about how reckless she had acted on the most recent mission. The rant slowly dwindles down as you pause in front of the cart to unpack the suturing kit, pulling out what you need to care for Alex’s new wound. Letting out a heavy sigh, you make your way to where your girlfriend is sitting and pull up a stool to sit in front of her. The room quickly fills with the smell of alcohol as you begin to clean out the gash on her upper arm, gently grasping her forearm in reassurance. Midway through the suturing process, a soft and slightly shaky hand makes its way to your hair and starts to smooth it out, fingers running through the tangles of it. As comforting as it is, you do your best to ignore the feeling in favor of focusing on finishing the stitches.

A blanket of silence overcomes the two of you as you busy yourself with watching the needle go in and out, weaving through the skin as the cut is slowly sewn shut. Placing down the tools and removing your gloves, you let out the breath you’ve been holding in for too long and slump forwards. A light shuffling is heard and before you know it, you’re being pulled inwards by a pair of warm arms. You close your eyes and allow yourself to fully relax against Alex’s chest as she moves to rest her arms around your shoulders. Breaking the silence you mumble, “What you did was reckless, you know.”

“I know,” she replies quietly as her hands slowly move to gently rub your shoulders.

“You’re lucky that the bullet grazed your arm.”

“I know.”

A beat of silence passes by before Alex speaks up again.

“I love you.”

Smiling, you press a kiss to her chest and return the sentiment.

“I know, I love you too.”

Leaning back, you pull yourself away from Alex’s embrace to face her fully. She takes both of your hands in hers and brings them up to her lips, pressing a light kiss to the middle knuckles. Heat rushes to your cheeks at her actions and you cough to the side to cover it up. Laughing at your reactions, Alex does it once more before you pull your hands away and stumble over your words.

“Y-you know, I should probably get to bandaging that wound. Don’t want any infections,” you awkwardly laugh, “that wouldn’t be good.”.

The brunette looks at you with eyes full of adoration and nods, turning slightly to the side to give you better access to the wound. Upon placing gauze on it and securing it, you stand up and take Alex’s hands in yours. A smile graces your lips as you pull her into a loving kiss, expressing your relief that she’s still alive and didn’t have any life-threatening injuries. Pulling away from each other, a feeling of bliss and comfort washes over Alex before being interrupted by a slap to her uninjured arm. Looking at you in shock, you point a finger at her and lightly scold her.

“If you ever pull that again, you’re sleeping on the couch.”

The director wordlessly nods as she’s pulled up from the bed and guided out of the room, your arm wrapped around her waist and head leaning on her shoulder.

An obnoxious beeping brings you out of your dream and into the darkness of your bedroom, barely lit by the city lights coming in from the window. Groggily, you turn over and reach over for your phone, effectively quieting the alarm after a minute or two. You begin to rack your brain for reasons as to why you decided it was a good idea to set an alarm for 3 in the morning. After a few minutes of trying to stay awake, a sudden realization hits you and you quickly bolt upwards. As your eyes widen in excitement, you turn to the sleeping blonde next to you and gently shake her. Trying to grab her attention, you whisper, “Kara...Kara...Kara!!”

“Hmm? Y/N, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

Shaking your head, you smile and tell her excitedly, “There’s a meteor shower in a couple minutes!! Isn’t that cool?!”

Kara sleepily blinks at you as you sit there, practically vibrating with energy. Once her brain finally catches up and understands what you said, she asks, “Okay, so why did you wake me up, babe?”

“I..um..well, you see…,” your voice trails off before you can finish your sentence. Looking down at the bed sheets, you begin to nervously pick at them as you hear Kara sit up. Gently grabbing your hands and pulling your attention to her, Kara furrows her brows in concern.

“What’s wrong, Y/N?”

“It’s nothing, really..yeah, it’s just something stupid.”

“Nothing you say is ever stupid.”

As Kara says those words, she pulls you into a hug and rubs your back soothingly. You tense up at the sudden movement but quickly relax into the embrace as she continues to comfort you. She looks down at you, pressing a kiss to your head.

“So, what were you going to ask me?”

“Well, I was wondering if you could fly us up to watch the meteor shower together.”

Even though your words were muffled as you burrow into her chest, Kara picks them up with ease and softens. 

“Alright, grab your coat.”

Surprised, your head shoots up from its position against Kara’s chest as you make a sound of confusion. The moment she nods to confirm that you heard the message properly, you scramble out of bed towards your shared closet and pull on a hoodie. Practically sprinting to the balcony, you make your way onto it and turn around to see Kara trailing behind, laughing at how you remind her of an excited puppy. The blonde steps out on the balcony, closing the door behind her, and scoops you up into her arms, holding you in a bridal carry. You wrap your arms around her neck as she bends down to kiss your forehead.

“Okay, well, up, up, and away, Supergirl.”

Your laughs filled with glee fill the night sky as Kara lifts the two of you up into the sky. Looking up, you watch in awe as the space above you comes to life, flashes of blue and yellow streaks painting the sky. The two of you stay suspended in the sky as you begin to point out all of the constellations and planets that you can see. As you’re explaining one of the constellations, Kara glances at you, watching as your eyes light up and how they reflect the night sky. She interrupts your rambling with a gentle kiss and after a few seconds, as you pull away from each other, you let out a giggle. Kara kisses you once more and softly says, “You know, star-gazing was a good idea. Tonight’s night sky was gorgeous.”

Smiling even brighter, you poke Kara’s cheek as you tell her, “Thank you for indulging in my request to do so, despite it being early in the morning. I love you.”

“I love you too, Y/N, 3am star-gazing and all.”
