Tradition
Something had changed.
Lena could sense it, in the kisses and the small touches, in the way Kara would watch her in the mornings as Lena slowly woke. Her girlfriend had grown more pensive, looking at Lena with curious eyes - a touch of stress on her brow.
βAre you alright?β Lena murmured one morning, as Kara brushed a stray lock of hair behind Lenaβs ear.
βYeah,β Kara said, pressing her lips briefly against Lenaβs, βJust thinking.β
---
Lena tried to let it go.
There was no real worry inside her. It did bother her, an itch somewhere in her mind, that Kara was holding something back. But this wasnβt like before - there was no fear or loneliness or distrust. She knew she loved Kara; she knew Kara loved her. That was all that mattered.
But she was certainly curious.
Luckily, there was always work to do to distract herself. Running the Foundation, tweaking experiments in the Tower, being a voice in Karaβs ear when the hero went out to fight. Plenty to keep herself busy in the day, before she and Kara went home at night. She could be patient.
It only took a few weeks for Kara to say something, on the couch one evening. βI promised you I would be open with you,β Kara said.
Lena glanced up, reaching her arm across to give Karaβs hand a light squeeze. βI promised that too.β
βWhat if Iβm not supposed to be?β
Lena frowned curiously. βKara, whatβs going on?β
βItβs nothing bad,β Kara emphasized, βI just- I donβt understand Earth romance. We didnβt have that on Krypton. Parts of it are still a little alien to me.β
βOkay,β Lena mulled, trying to understand, βWe can- we can talk about it? We can slow down-β
βI donβt want to slow down,β Kara said emphatically.
βWhat do you mean?β
Kara eyed Lena for a moment, then glanced down to her lap, shifting shyly. βIf you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, shouldnβt you talk about it first?β Kara asked, βShouldnβt they decide that together? How do you make itβ¦ a surprise?β
Oh, Lena thought, her heart fluttering lighter as she realized the source of Karaβs concern, she wants to propose.
It brought a smile to Lena. She wants to proposeβ¦
Lena leaned forward, brushing her lips to Karaβs, trying to soothe the blondeβs confusion. βWeβve talked about our lives together,β she murmured against Karaβs lips, βWhat we want to do, how we want to live, what it will be like to grow old. Those are the things that are important to me.β
She could feel the tension in Karaβs body dissipate, as Kara wrapped her arms around Lena, kissing her back. Lena felt herself melt into Karaβs embrace as the ardor grew, leaving thoughts of the future for some other time.
---
βCould I fly you somewhere?β Kara asked one Saturday night.
Lena looked up from the couch, where she had settled in to read a book after dinner that evening. She took in Karaβs expression, watching as the blonde fidgeted shyly. Oh, Lena thought, trying not to smile, βSure.β
Still in her pajamas - not that she minded - Lena and Kara went out to the balcony. βIβd like to blindfold you first,β Kara said shyly, and Lena nodded. The scrap of cloth went around her eyes, and she felt as Karaβs hands directed her closer, before Kara scooped her up into her arms.
She wondered how far Kara would take her, but she didnβt ask. The cool breeze of the night was a welcome relief from the warm day, and they quickly found themselves descending.
Still blindfolded, Lena felt as Kara gently set her on the ground. Blankets?, Lena thought, now sitting somewhere outside, feeling the warm and fuzzy bedding against the palms of her hands, when did she set this upβ¦
The blindfold lifted from her face.
Lena looked around. She was indeed in a nest of blankets, giving her cozy warmth on that cool night. Her eyes drifted to the Irish pastries and wine near her feet, two glasses sitting neatly next to one another.
She glanced up, gasping softly at what lay ahead - a lake, blanketed in night, with an array of trees and stars behind it. The reservoir, she realized, recognizing their picnic spot as one she and Kara had been to a dozen times before. A place that had grown fond to them, despite their terrifying first night there.
βWhen I came to Earth,β Kara said nervously, kneeling next to Lena, βEverything was new, and strange. People talked about all sorts of beliefs, different types of magic. There were so many cultural practices, so many languages. It felt like I landed on hundreds of planets at once.β
Lena placed a gentle hand on Karaβs arm.
βI didnβt understand romantic love,β Kara continued, eyes glancing up to meet Lenaβs, βBut I started to feel it, fragments of that spark, figuring out what it meant. And then I found you, Lena. And I realized something important - that Krypton had hidden more than one type of magic.β
Lena smiled, already feeling the sting of tears in the corner of her eyes, emotion bubbling up in her chest.
βThis was the place I realized it,β Kara said, looking out to the reservoir. βI was holding you above this lake, and I realized I could never let go.β
Kara hesitated, turning back towards Lena as a hand drifted to a pocket, and Kara pulled out a small black box to present to her girlfriend. βLena Luthor,β Kara said, βI want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?β
βYes,β Lena said, realizing her voice was thick with unshed tears, leaning forward to plant a kiss on Karaβs lips, βYes, yes, yes,β she said over and over again, as Kara kissed her back, as the two pulled each other close.
When they finally broke apart, Lena laughed, as Kara struggled enthusiastically to get the ring box open, before finally sliding the ring on Lenaβs finger.
Kara leaned forward again, brushing her lips one last time on Lenaβs. βI hope I did that right,β she murmured.
βDarling, this was perfect,β Lena whispered back.
