Chương 17: Chapter 17
Alex's eyebrows shoot up in shock but she doesn't let her surprise stop her from thoroughly enjoying this. She reaches up to gently cup Maggie's face and pulls her even closer.
It's a slow kiss and it's nothing like any of the other kisses Alex has had. Well, the only other ones were either with men or hidden away so no one would see. This is so wonderfully different and Alex wonders if this is what Kara feels like when she flies.
Maggie only pulls back from Alex when their lungs are screaming for air. She rests her forehead against Alex's, grinning at how dazed the other girl looks.
When Alex can breathe enough to get the words out, she speaks. "So... you're saying you like me?" Maggie chuckles and Alex grins, loving her dimples even more when she's the cause of them. "That's... That's what I got."
"Of course." Maggie cocks her head at Alex in that way that makes her gay brain turn to mush. "You're not going to go crazy on me, are you?"
Alex nods, still smiling. "Probably, yeah."
She's looking at Maggie with a soft expression that makes her breath hitch. Alex runs her fingers through Maggie's hair, gently pulling her back towards her.
Their lips meet again and Alex is glad she's leaning back against her door because holy crap, this is what kissing someone is supposed to feel like. It has never felt like this before, not even with the laughably small amount of women she has kissed. It has always been hurried, stolen kisses in the backs of bars without any emotional connection.
The next time their lips pull apart, Alex is the one to pull back. Maggie gives her a concerned look and starts to pull away to give her space but Alex's hand on her waist keeps her from going too far.
"Hey, so. Um. Do you want to maybe go to the bar sometime? Shoot some pool?" Alex asks nervously.
Maggie does that adorable head cocking thing again. "Danvers, are you asking me out?"
"Um. Yes?"
Maggie chuckles again and quickly kisses Alex again, making her relax slightly. "Alex, we just spent the last ten minutes making out. Yes, I want to go on a date with you. And be prepared to lose at pool."
Alex's confidence shoots back up at the confirmation. "Lose? Oh you're going down, Sawyer. I'll have you know I am the best pool player in all of National City."
"Really?" Maggie leans in closer so their lips brush again.
"Mm-hmm. There was a tournament, which I won." Alex murmurs in response.
"Well then." Maggie rests her hands above Alex's waist, making her partner flustered all over again. "I guess you'll have to teach me how to be better, Danvers."
Alex ignores the blush on her cheeks and leans in again, closing the distance and kissing Maggie. They get lost in each other for a while until Alex gets seriously tempted to drag her into her room. Maggie can tell she's hesitant and kisses her quickly and sweetly.
"So Danvers. When's our date?" She asks, her voice a few octaves lower than normal.
"Tomorrow night at eight. It's just the alien bar, so it's nothing fancy."
"Alright. See you in the morning, Danvers." Maggie says, unable to keep from kissing Alex one more time before she backs away a few steps.
"It is morning, Sawyer." Alex points out, smiling when Maggie groans. "See you in a couple of hours."
Alex opens the door behind her, continuing to look at Maggie. Her hair is messed up from Alex running her hand through it and she turns away before she marches over there and kisses her again.
She gives Maggie one last smile that's probably too dopey for this early in their relationship but she can't find it in herself to care. Especially when Maggie seems like she's just as smitten with her, leaning against the wall next to Kara's door and breathing hard.
Alex closes the door behind her and leans back against it. She lets out a shuddering breath, letting her emotions show on her face. Alex grins so widely that she is surprised it doesn't break her face in two. That was so much more incredible than she ever could have imagined. She didn't just kiss her crush, she made out with her! And she has a date with her tomorrow!
Alex gingerly touches her tingling lips, her main evidence that it wasn't just all in her head. That, plus her hair is messy from Maggie tangling her fingers with it and how her clothes are a little out of place. They didn't really do anything, but Maggie kept grasping at her shirt like she wanted to say 'screw it' and toss it on the floor. Especially during those last few minutes of their make out session. Alex half expected Maggie to touch her abs or something.
Alex changes into her pajamas and slips into bed, falling asleep easily to the memories replaying in her mind of kissing Maggie.
She's not surprised when Kara crawls into her bed in the wee hours of the morning. Alex wraps an arm around her and goes back to sleep, dreaming of the possibilities of their date tomorrow.
Alex snaps awake to the sound of her sister groaning. She smirks when she sees Kara carefully holding her head and curled up in a ball, trying to burrow under the covers.
"Now you know what a hangover is like." Alex murmurs and Kara groans again.
"I'm going to dieeeeeee..." Kara whines.
"Calm down, Supergirl." Alex says, trying to keep from laughing at her sister's dramatics. "You have super metabolism and everything, you'll be fine soon. I'm going to get up and get dressed, I have to go to the DEO soon."
Kara peeks out from under the blankets and squints at her. "Who are you and what have you done with Alex?"
Alex rolls her eyes and slips out of bed. She reaches over and ruffles her sister's hair.
"I'm still me, Kara." Alex speaks in a normal tone as she pulls out her DEO uniform and changes into it.
"Sure you are. So what happened? Why are you smiling like you just got to punch Maxwell in the face twenty times?" Kara asks. Alex blushes, which makes Kara sit up quickly in bed. "Oh Rao, I moved too fast. Ugh. Was it Maggie? Did you kiss? Did you make out? Did you ask her out? Did you confess your undying love for her?"
"That's a bit dramatic." Alex mumbles, sitting on the chair next to her bed that Kara uses when she's sick. "But um. Yeah, kinda."
Kara squeals excitedly and Alex winces at the high pitched sound. "Oh my Rao! What happened?"
"We, uh. We kissed." Alex confesses, unable to keep that dopey grin off her face. "A couple of times."
A second after telling Kara that, Alex has a lap full of an excitable Kryptonian. She's hugging Alex and practically vibrating happily.
"See? Told you that you would recover fast." Alex murmurs.
"No," Kara pulls away and points at her. "You are not changing the subject, Alexandra Danvers. What happened? Tell me everything."
"Alright, alright. So the first time, she kissed me. We made out for a while and then I confirmed that she likes me. Then we made out again and then I asked her out. She said yes."
Kara's mouth drops open, her eyes wide and her expression almost comically full of glee. "I knew she likes you! What happened next?"
"We made out again and said goodnight."
"So going to that bar was a good idea! When's your date?" Kara questions.
"Tonight. At the bar. I'm going to beat her at pool."
"You're taking her somewhere nice next time, right?" Kara pokes Alex in the stomach.
"Yeah, of course. I just need to make sure I get a next time first. And being at that bar, I'll be able to get to know more about her. Hopefully she won't be put off by the fact I'm only out to you."
Alex frowns, anxiety bubbling up in her stomach. What if Maggie doesn't want to be with someone who's so new to all of this?
"It will be fine, Alex. Besides, if she's not supportive, I'll kick her ass." Kara threatens.
"Thanks Kara. That won't be necessary. I can take care of myself, I'll be fine." Alex reassures her. They sit in silence for a few more moments, Kara not moving from her lap. "Maybe I should just come out to Mom and Dad now."
"Only if you're comfortable and ready." Kara says.
Alex mulls it over in her head and nods to herself. "I'm ready. Will you come with me?" She asks in a smaller voice.
"Of course. When do you want to do this?" Kara questions.
"Now," Alex answers. "So I don't freak out and worry too much today and psych myself out."
"You're sure?" Kara asks to make sure as she stands up.
"Yeah," Alex lets out a breath. "Lets do this."
Just in case anyone's worried, Maggie's going to be more than fine with Alex being a baby gay :) I was originally going to have them go through something like in the show but nah. I like happy Sanvers too much for that! And wow that was a lot of kissing. Get it, Alex! Next chapter, she comes out to her parents. Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
