Intervention
The day went by awkwardly as expected. Lena and Kara were already partners in almost every single class. They sat next to one another too, which didn’t make things any easier. Days went by and things subtly shifted back to normal, they had completely forgotten the kiss. At least that's what they forced themselves to believe.
The library was quiet and peaceful, as to be expected. Students tiptoed around, shuffling through the shelves and occasionally whispering to one another. Lena gripped her book tightly at the cramp that was slowly developing in her legs. She crossed her legs and sat up, leaning against a bookshelf. No matter where she was or what she was doing, her thoughts always found a way to drift back to the kiss. It might have been a drunken encounter, but Lena remembered it as clear as day. The softness of Kara’s pink lips that she had been dying to get a taste of, the way that the cheerleaders mouth moved with hers. It was a wonderful experience and yet here she was, without Kara because she was too scared. Too afraid to reveal her true feelings for the girl. Her fear always seemed to get the best of her. Her book sat, forgotten in her lap as she daydreamed.
“Pss” Lena furrowed her brow at the small sound. “Hey”
The brunette whipped her head around and peeked through the shelves to find a sneaky little Kara Danvers looking back at her. She bit her lip and held back her laughter to avoid getting thrown out of the library.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” Kara laughed quietly “I mean it’s a library so I guess you can be here whenever you want...”
The cheerleader rounded the shelf and dropped down next to Lena.
“Yeah, um I was just bored and Winn told me you were down here. Why didn’t you join us in the common room?” Kara reached behind her head and plucked a random book from the shelf as one of the Librarians walked past them.
Lena considered her words carefully. She was honestly tired of being around Kara without being with Kara, if that made any sense. Her crush had grown and grown and she had to live with the girl and stay friends and only friends and it was just frustrating. A warm hand slipped into her own and Lena blushed at the small bit of contact.
“Oh, I just wanted some peace and quiet...and a good book” Lena pursed her lips in a half smile and nodded.
‘Mmm hmm that’s totally why’
“Well, I’ll see you at dinner. Bye”
And then she was gone. Lena let out a breath she wasn’t aware she was holding and tried to read her book to no avail. Twenty minutes passed of Lena rereading the same paragraph over and over again after forgetting what it said in the first place. She groaned and dropped her book, stuffing it back in a random spot and heading back to her dorm. Kara was nowhere to be found and she took pleasure in snuggling into bed, her thoughts moving away from a certain cheerleader.
Until she smelled strawberry shampoo on her pillow.
“Craaappp”

“So, tell me more about this kiss, or kisses” Lucy grinned and leaned back on her bed. Kara chewed on a donut and sat on the edge next to her best friend.
“So the first night when I took her back to our dorm, she told me she liked me more than a friend and then she you know… but she forgot the next day. And then two weeks ago when Maggie dared me to kiss her, she apologized and said it was because of the dare” Kara said in between bites.
Lucy shook her head. “Mm mm mm that’s just sad”
Kara frowned. The brunette pulled out her phone and typed a quick message. They sat in silence eating donuts, Kara more than Lucy when the door burst open and in walked Alex and Maggie followed by Winn.
“Oh, hey guys. What are you doing here?”
Alex sighed and pulled up a chair, sitting down to face her little sister. Maggie and Winn did the same, surrounding the bed.
“We’re here because we care about you Sunny Danvers” Maggie said, reaching for a donut off the counter. Winn nodded with a sympathetic look on his face, cheeks stuffed full. Alex made a face at both of them and rolled her eyes.
“This is an intervention...sort of. I don’t know, Maggie dragged me here” she shrugged.
Kara gaped at them. “I uh, why do I need an intervention again?”
They all gave knowing looks before Lucy jumped in. “I told them”
Kara panicked, eyes widening as she whirled her head around to look at Lucy. “You what!”
“Calm down Kara, we all knew already. We were there” Kara huffed “The only news was that there was another kiss we didn’t know about”
Maggie whistled. “Little Danvers got game”
“Alright so we all know about your obvious attraction to Lena” Alex coughed. “But what you don’t know...is that she likes you too” Maggie pointed out.
Kara laughed and shook her head. “What? No” They all looked at her and nodded.
“No, there’s no way. No”
Even Winn was nodding. “It’s obvious Kar”
The cheerleader turned her head around to look at him.
“What are you even doing here Winn?” She giggled, still giddy from excitement.
He beamed and gestured to the pastry in his hand “donuts”
Kara considered their words carefully. She thought back to all the stolen looks and lingering touches, the way Lena's breath hitched when Kara touched her even the slightest bit. There was just one problem.
“But I'm not gay”
The group groaned in unison, practically facepalming themselves as they spent the next five minutes explaining to the cheerleader that there was such a thing as bisexuality.
“You know what? You gotta go back to your dorm and kiss the life out of her. Maybe do some other things too” Lucy winked.
“Hell I’ll do it” she threw her hands in the air.
“Hey, that's my little sister were talking about” Alex glared at the brunette. Lucy smiled innocently at her and waved the comment off.
“You guys have been playing this game. It’s so obvious she likes you and the only one holding you back is YOU! So dammit Kara get out of here and go get your girl” Lucy dragged the blonde out and slammed the door in her face. Kara stood in the hallway, gathering her thoughts when she heard a groan come from the other side of the door five seconds before it swung open. Lucy peeked her head out.
“God Kara, you're thinking loud enough to wake the dead, now shoo” the girl waved her hand in the air gesturing for Kara to go. The cheerleaders giggling echoed through the halls as she headed back to her dorm.
