The Heart Is a Muscle (And I Wanna Make It Strong)
Based on the prompt: Lena and Kara - admissions of love under duress/stressful moment
Lena arrives with her overnight bag that after all this time is for show. Kara knows because one time she peeked and the only items inside were a bunch of socks. Thatโs because Lena will still opt to wear a pair of Karaโs lounge pants and her softest crewneck. And there's no need to carry toiletry items back and forth. Lena's skincare and shower products have had space in Karaโs bath for years (even if they gathered dust for a period of time). They order in, settle onto the couch, and start their first film of many for the night.
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan bicker about caviar when thereโs a sudden pressure at Karaโs side. Sheโs smiling before she even looks down, and when she does it's to find Lena sound asleep. Kara's movements are gentle as she shifts until theyโre both snuggled in and covered by the same fleece throw. Kara drops her lips to Lena's forehead, and then turns her attention back to the television to finish watching two should-be rivals fall in love.
