บท 135: Chapter 135
Once Alex is sure her legs can hold her up, they both get out of bed and change the sheets. She wrinkles her nose at the large wet spot, but she can't help feeling smug about it too. While Alex moves the sheets to the laundry hamper, Maggie changes the sheets.
When Alex comes back, her wife is finished and is doing the last couple touches, bent over to tuck in the quilt. She walks up behind Maggie and places her hands on her hips. Maggie straightens up and leans back against Alex. Alex presses a gentle kiss to Maggie's bare shoulder.
"I love you Allie."
"I love you too Mags."
They get onto the bed and then slip under the covers. Maggie smiles when Alex curls up against her, resting her head on her shoulder and draping an arm over Maggie's stomach. She squirms around a little bit until she's as comfortable as she can be.
Maggie presses a gentle kiss to Alex's forehead and easily drifts off to sleep.

After Maggie and Alex leave in the horse-drawn carriage, the crowd says their goodbyes and disperses.
Lena is still standing next to her girlfriend, whose cheeks are still a cute rosy pink and is holding the bouquets. Lena wants to talk to Kara about things, but it's not the kind of thing that she would be comfortable discussing in front of others. Especially not Kara's family.
"I think that was the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended," J'onn says gruffly.
"You attended Eliza and I's wedding, J'onn." Jeremiah reminds him with a chuckle. "But yes, I know what you mean. Our girls really love each other."
J'onn nods and Kara smiles softly when she sees tears in his eyes.
"That they do," he agrees. "It's their strength."
Jeremiah hums in agreement and the two father figures look down the empty road as if they're trying to see Alex and Maggie's carriage again. Eliza places a hand on both of their backs after a minute.
"Come on, boys. There are some leftovers that I had set aside for us." Kara perks up at Eliza's words. "It's not for you, sweetie, you get the rest of the leftovers. You can find them in the kitchen."
Kara beams and pumps her fist excitedly, the motion all the more dorky because of the bouquet in her hands. "Yes! Thank you, Eliza!"
"You're welcome. Remember to share some with Lena, okay? We humans also get hungry," Eliza jokes.
"You know by now that Lena's the only one I willingly share my food with," Kara says.
Eliza hums. "I have noticed that. Goodnight girls, don't stay up too late!"
Eliza blows them both a kiss and then walks back into the castle with J'onn and Jeremiah.
"You want to use your superspeed to get us to the room and to get the leftovers, don't you?" Lena says. It's more of a statement than a question.
"Yeah."
"Don't, darling. Your superspeed will ruin all your flowers. Without any petals, they'll resemble long grass."
Kara nods. "Okay."
Then she looks at the bouquets in her hands and pouts.
"What is it, darling?"
"If I'm holding these, I can't hold your hand." Kara pouts harder and Lena can practically feel herself melting.
"How about this: you can carry one and I'll carry the other. Does that work?"
Kara's face breaks into a wide smile and she kisses Lena's cheek. Lena had not expected that, so she blushes. "Mm hmm! I'm dating a genius!"
Lena's cheeks darken further. "I'm smart, but I'm not exactly a-"
"You're brilliant, Lena Luthor." Kara says as she hands her one of the bouquets. "If you're not a genius, I don't know who is!"
Lena's 'brilliant' mind can't conjure up anything to say in response, so she slips her hand into Kara's. They walk side by side at a normal human pace into the castle.
They reach their room and Kara lets go of Lena's hand in order to open the door for her. Kara sets down her bouquet on a table and then sets off, appearing back in the same spot after a couple seconds. She holds up a large glass vase triumphantly.
"Oh, wait. We need water for them too... I could use my freeze breath, and then my heat vision to make water, but the quick change in temperature would shatter the glass." Kara frowns down at the vase, deep in thought.
"Darling," Lena says to get her attention. "Or you could go to the bathroom that's just a couple feet that way and get water."
Kara's eyes widen and she kisses Lena's cheek again before flouncing off to the bathroom with the vase in her hand. "See? Genius!"
Lena just chuckles at her girlfriend's antics and then spends the next couple minutes helping Kara arrange the flowers in the vase. Kara then disappears as soon as she thinks it's perfect, no doubt rushing to the kitchen to grab her (their) leftovers. Lena sits on Kara's comfy armchair and lets herself relax. She closes her eyes and leans her head back against the fluffy cushion, her lips twitching up at how Kara's smell seems to envelop the chair.
She hears normal paced footsteps approaching the room, and thinks it may be Kara. After all, she is careful with food. Lena doesn't want to open her eyes and break the calm feeling just yet, so she keeps them closed for just a bit longer.
She hears the footsteps pause near where she thinks the entrance to the room is and opens her eyes after a moment. Kara's standing in the doorway, pulling a wagon-like thing with a truly laughable amount of food for two people, even if one of them is Kryptonian. She's watching Lena with unbelievably soft eyes, and Lena's about to get up to help her with the massive amount of food, but Kara holds up her hand.
"No, you can stay there Lee. I'll bring your food to you." Kara says softly, pulling the wagon into the room.
"Mm. With this kind of treatment, maybe it's me who should put a bracelet on it," Lena says, only half-kidding.
Kara blushes and grins at her girlfriend. "Not if I get to it first."
These soft gays deserve everything!! Next chapter, they'll talk about "putting a bracelet on it." And as I promised, I'll figure out how to add some conflict/angst (but not too much, since I too am a soft gay)! Which means probably introducing aliens to fight or something like that... And guys, I'm such a nerd?? Today in Chemistry (I'm not a science person) I got excited because we were doing math... Like it literally made me happy (Neeeerd). I guess I'll see next semester if I actually like college math enough to minor in it... Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
