Football Game
Night had fallen over the football field and there was a warm breeze in the air as Lucy, Winn and Alex walked quietly towards the bleachers. Lena glanced around, looking for empty seats in the large crowd.
“Over here” Alex signaled with a nod of her chin and they followed her to an empty spot at the bottom of the the bleachers. They weren’t the best seats in the world but they were near the varsity cheerleaders and she spotted Kara instantly among the mass. The blonde stood at the front of the group as the other girls shuffled into their positions.
“Look there’s Kara” Winn pointed to the girl as Alex and Lucy whipped their heads around and found her. Kara looked up at that very moment and waved. The four waved back and Kara smiled at Lena before getting back to work. She ordered the team into a group and Lena saw her mouth moving as she likely gave them a short speech.
The captain wore a cheerleaders outfit that was slightly different from the rest. While the other girls had the traditional Maroon and White short skirt and crop top outfit, Kara had a White and Gold outfit, the edges lined with silver. Her crop top had a large ‘S’ stitched over her chest. Kara beamed towards the crowd, wearing the sigil proudly. The blondes hair was up in a high ponytail and she had a matching bow on her head. She also sported a bit of glittery face paint on her cheeks with the letters KH.
“Hello Kingswood High” An enthusiastic male voice echoed throughout the field. “This is the first game of the season and it is my pleasure to welcome our very own football team!”
Heads turned as the football players rushed onto the field and joined the opposing team. A man stood at the center, signaling to the crowd as their cheers only grew.
The game began soon after and although Lena was a big fan of football, she found herself paying more attention to Kara leading the group through several cheers. Her attention turned towards number 53 on the field as he ran fast towards the end zone, the crowd cheered and stood up as he neared the goal line, a Brownswood High linebacker hot on his tail.
‘Ten yards, ten more yards,
For our team, it's not hard!’
The girls lined up in rows and waved their pompoms in the air as they initiated a rather complicated looking dance. Kara’s body moved gracefully as she cupped her hands in front her chest and squatted down before jumping back up with one hand on her waist and one in the air.
‘Give me a T-O-U-C-H-D-O-W-N!
Touchdown! Touchdown! Touchdown!’
Kara swung her leg up and caught it, holding it close to herself as the football player dove over the goal line and scored a touchdown.
“Damn, she’s flexible” Lena commented to no one in particular.
Lucy grinned behind the brunette “Flexible huh? I bet you like that” she whispered. A blush creeped up the Luthor’s neck and a shiver ran up her spine despite the warm air surrounding them. Lena coughed and pretended not to have heard what Lucy said.
Two hours later and the game was officially over. Kingswood had won, just as Kara had predicted.
The players scattered off of the field back into the school to get changed.
Lena watched as number 53, the team's star player, trotted over to Kara. The cheerleader turned away from her group of friends to face the boy who reached up to remove his helmet. He was a handsome black dude that the brunette recognized as James Olsen, captain of the football team. Kara smiled and pulled him into a hug.
Something ignited in Lena at the simple display of affection and only worsened when he kissed Kara on the cheek after pulling away. Jealousy surged through her as she tried and failed to push her feelings down.
“Alright bitches let’s go” Lucy said, standing up with Alex. Winn chewed quietly on his Gummy bears, hopping down from the bleachers. Alex raised an eyebrow at him as they crossed the courtyard and headed back to the school.
The boy looked over sheepishly at the oldest Danvers and stuffed his mouth again, “What? I was hungry”
Lena felt someone grab her from behind, wrapping their arms around her waist. She froze but soon calmed as she saw familiar blonde hair out of the corner of her eye. Kara pushed her gently forward and they continued walking, the cheerleaders cheek pressed against the side of Lena's face. She knew Kara had a tendency to get all touchy feely with her friends so Lena didn't think much of it as she walked with Kara pressed against her back.
“Good game huh?” The cheerleader asked, grinning as they headed up to their dorm.
“Yeah, it was interesting” she murmured. Kara let go of Lena and walked next to her instead, much the Lena’s disappointment. She took the chance to sneakily ask the girl the question that had been going through her mind for a while.
“Hey, I saw you with James Olsen, you guys good friends?” Lena looked up, quirking an eyebrow at the cheerleader as she unlocked the dorm and stepped in with Kara on her heels.
“Uhh yeah, he’s a good friend of mine now” The blond offered a small smile.
Lena considered her words carefully and sat down on her bed, pulling her boots off.
“Now?”
“Well we were friends before and then I.. kind of developed a crush on him and we dated for a while” Kara visibly sighed as she plopped down on her own bed. “But we broke up less than a week later because I- I think I liked the idea of being in a relationship more than the actual relationship and my feelings for him kind of.. disappeared”
Lena nodded although she knew Kara wasn’t looking her way.
“But we’re friends again so it’s all good”
Silence filled the air as Kara and Lena both got dressed for the night. Kara looked away as Lena slipped out of her pants, a blush tinting her cheeks red. And unbeknownst to her, Lena did the same as Kara lifted her shirt above her head. The tension in the room grew to be too much for the blond and she grinned mischievously in her respective corner.
“Shit Kara!” Kara threw a pillow at Lena’s head and giggled as the brunette very nearly tackled her.
“Aww is someone mad?” Kara stuck her tongue out as Lena straddled her on the floor. “Ooh hey you wanna watch Netflix for the night?”
Lena squinted and looked to be considering but Kara knew she would agree regardless. The distracted look on her face encouraged the blond as her hands reached up and rested on Lena’s waist.
“Kara?” Her voice was laced with confusion at the feeling of Kara’s warm hands on her bare skin, her heart rate picked up as a troublesome smirk grew on the cheerleader's face and she tickled Lena, forcing her onto the ground and switching their positions. Laughter filled the air along with the brunette pleading for it to stop.
“I...I-give up..ok” Lena breathed out in between laughs, Kara moved off of her and Lena instantly missed the warmth.
The cheerleader offered a hand and Lena took it once she recovered from her laughing fit.
“I’ll make the popcorn!” Kara squealed, running off.
Lena settled on watching The Flash on Netflix, turning the TV on across the room. She shifted some things around and angled her bed to face the screen.
Kara skipped back to the room with a large bowl of popcorn in hand, laughing out loud at the sight of Lena struggling with the bed. She placed the bowl down before moving to help her.
Lena watched in awe as Kara easily moved the bed without breaking a sweat, her biceps and triceps bulged and her shirt rode up to reveal those defined abs that she could not get enough of. Lena swallowed, hard.
“All set, come on” Kara sat down on the edge of the bed and pressed play on the remote. Lena was about to share a bed with Kara, Kara the cute cheerleader who she had a massive gay crush on.
‘No biggie’
She coughed and awkwardly walked over to her bed, laying down as Kara did the same, scooting back until their sides were touching.
The brunette found it hard to focus on the T.V show when Kara was so close to her. She could smell the other girls strawberry shampoo and hear her shallow breaths, her chest rising up and down as she stared intently at the screen.
Kara could feel Lena’s gaze on her and pretended not to notice, her eyes glued to the television. When Lena finally looked away, the blonde relaxed, stifling her nervous laughter.
Three episodes and two hours later Lena glanced over to find that the cheerleader had fallen asleep on her arm. She looked closely, admiring the other girls features without the fear of being caught. The way that Kara managed to smile even in her sleep, her cheeks a soft shade of pink. Lena admired the cheerleader for a few minutes, as creepy as it sounded she just couldn't help herself. Her own eyes started to flutter shut and she somehow managed to reach for the remote and turn off the TV before she fell asleep next to Kara.
