warnings: 18+ mdni ( no smut but mentions of ), lowkey miscommunication?, two losers pinning after one another, slight angst ( not really ) w/ happy ending and very slight mention to supergirl 2026 but other than that its spoiler free !
summ: you and kara agreed to just be friends with benefits, she hated staying on earth and was scared of committing—you just needed distractions while you fought your way through college. yet somehow down the line you both starting wanting more but neither of you had the guts to admit it.
you are without a doubt happy and comfortable with the arrangement you have with kara. you both got what you wanted and you did it all without the weight of an actual relationship weighing you down. you didn’t have to worry about her, where she’s at, who’s she’s with, it was peaceful.
at least thats what you tried to convince yourself to believe. because if we were being honest, you were in fact, not happy or comfortable with the arrangement you had with kara. you both got what you wanted, yes, but you often thought about her more than you liked to admit.
you wondered if she ate properly after a night of drinking.
you hoped wherever she is, she’s being safe.
and you often made yourself sick with the thought of her soft hands touching another—giving them the same attention it gave you.
it all started a little over a month ago. your school was having a charity festival and of course you were planning on attending. unfortunately for you, you had been a very desirable student and almost everyone was willing to do whatever it took for you to be their date.
men and women alike had pulled out all the stops, some even cornered you—trying their hardest to seem worthy enough of your time. but you made one thing clear, and that was y/n lane did not date. you were in school to become an expert at your craft, not to entertain a relationship that would possibly leave you heartbroken and distracted like your last relationship.
yet that explanation went unnoticed, most ignored it.
so you did what any sane person would do in this situation.
you called your closest friend, kara zor el.
it was nothing too extreme.
you just wanted her to attend the festival with you.
surprisingly it took very little to convince her to accept and before you knew it you both were having fun with cheap games and unhealthy food. many stared, you knew they would, but you were enjoying your time and so was kara.
that was until you ex boyfriend decided to join in on the staring—trying to rack his brain about how to pull you away from the blonde. kara knew all about him, of course she did, she spent countless nights listening to you cry and rant about how wrong he did you.
thats where she decided she never wanted a relationship. it always got messy, people lack loyalty and they always left—she already experienced the loss of her own community, she couldn’t imagine experiencing the loss of her person.
“kiss me” you muttered as you turned to her. kara was taken aback, her eyes widen as they scanned your face to look for any form of humor.
“you want me to what?” she asked.
“kiss me” you repeated, taking a dangerous step closer to her. kara breath hitched and she couldn’t, for the life of her, look away from your lips. lips that were shiny due to the countless times you’ve reapplied your cherry scented lip gloss.
“jackson is looking, if you kiss me he won’t bother us” you said as if it was the most obvious thing ever. she had no time to think about it, simply because quickly after your lips were on hers.
kara sighed, her once tense shoulders dropping in relief the moment your soft hands cupped her face. what should have been a quick kiss turned into a heated make out the second her hands gripped your waist. pulling you in closer but even that didn’t feel like enough.
it came to a holt once cleared their throat “ahem, excuse me ladies” you both reluctantly pulled away—hands still holding on to each other. kara was surprised with the look in your eyes, your pupils were blown, eyes hooded and dead set on her lips.
the sight before her made her equally as hungry, the taste of your lip gloss still fresh on tongue as she slipped her bottom lip in between her teeth.
“i believe a room is more appropriate, don’t you?” your now horrified english teacher said and thats how you both ended up in your bed, completely ignoring the fact that your neighbors could almost certainly hear the both of you.
after that you both agreed that this simply couldn’t be a one time thing but more importantly you both agreed that a relationship is far from what you both wanted. 
you weren’t sure when your feelings for kara became more than what it once was.
maybe it was when she flew to your apartment when you failed that test you studied super hard for. holding you as you cried and ranted.
or maybe it was when she brought you dinner from your favorite restaurant when your period started randomly.
or maybe it was when she laughed.
or when she whispered sweet words in your ear.
hell, maybe you’ve always had a thing for kara.
yet you had to be realistic.
this was strictly beneficial only. just friends who occasionally have sex—nothing more, nothing less. and you just had to be okay with that.
“clark said its your birthday week starting tomorrow” you muttered as you watched her get dressed—her hair still tangled from where you had pulled for what felt like hours.
she hummed and you thought about your next words carefully. “any plans?” she sighed, flipping her hair back so she could use her beloved sunglasses to hold her locks back.
“not really, just gonna grab krypto, go celebrate on another planet or something” she shrugged.
“what about earth?” you cringed at her tone.
“what about celebrating here? i mean clark’s here, your friends…..me?” she finally looked at you, heart spiking when she spots the fresh hickeys on your lower back.
“clark’s just clark you know? he’s busy” she started “plus those are just his friends, they tolerate me because im his cousin” she smiled—trying to pass it off as some form of joke.
“and well, we can’t just spend the whole week together” she nervously giggled—the sound slowly fading when she realized you didn’t join in on her laughter.
“i-i mean we can but then everyone would assume we’re together, like a couple, together, you know?” you cracked a faux smile, nodding as if you agreed.
“no, yeah, you’re totally right” she pulled her lips into a tight smile, her thumb pointing towards your front door.
that was three days ago. apparently she left right after she picked up krypto, which was right after she left your apartment. you texted her this morning—nothing to crazy, just a simple
happy birthday kara! hope the other planets are treating you well!
you rewrote that message maybe fifteen times before you hit send and since then you’ve been checking your phone constantly, hoping and waiting for her to reply. which was something your older sister seemed to pick up on.
“if it makes you feel any better clark’s birthday wishes went unanswered as well” she said with a soft smile. that in fact, did not make you feel any better. but you weren’t about to admit that.
“i don’t know what your talking about” you shrugged, turning your phone face down as you attempt to read the book that was placed in front of you.
“really? because you’ve checked your phone every five minutes and you’ve been quiet since kara left” she was right, of course she was, she’s lois lane, she knows everything.
“she wants to be friends” you muttered. lois sighed, moving the laptop off her lap to give you her full attention. “i thought i could do it, though i could just leave my emotions out of it but—”
“but you’ve fallen for her” you nodded. “have you’ve told her how you feel?” you shook your head.
“she made it pretty clear, she doesn’t want a relationship with me” lois knew that simply wasn’t the case. clark has told her about how kara always asks about you—how she always seeks you out in whatever environment you were in.
but she couldn’t tell you that. you two simply had to figure it out for yourselves.
the week had been anything but relaxing.
she spent two days drinking and the rest was spent saving krypto, a young girl and girls in general. she’s been beaten, weakened and on the brink of death and all she can think about is how she should be with you.
krypto laying at the end of your bed while you three watched those shitty romcom movies she pretends to hate but not so secretly loves especially because you love it.
this whole week made her rethink her life. made her rethink her relationship with you. you are something she never knew she wanted but she wants it now—she needs it if she was being honest.
which was why she was standing outside of your apartment door. she wanted to knock—raised her hand to do so a couple of times yet she never did. instead she just stood there, listening to you hum whatever song played through your speakers. she recognized most of the songs, how could she not, you two made that playlist together.
she thought about walking away, about heading back to clark’s place, yet krypto didn’t like those idea’s as he took it upon himself to paw at your door and before she could stop him you opened the door.
you wore her shirt, some graphic tee she left behind and boxers that hugged your thighs perfectly. her mouth opened then closed before she realized she was staring.
“uh hi” she breathed out.
“can—can we come in?” you didn’t say a word, you just moved to the side, opening the door wider for the girl and her dog.
“how was your birthday week?” you asked after a moment of silence. “uhh” she started as she looked around your apartment before settling on you.
“it was fun, yeah you know, got pretty wasted, stopped an intergalactic sex trafficking ring and saved krypto from dying” she said with a smile.
“okay” you sighed out, trying to comprehend everything she just dropped on you. “i assume everything is okay? now?” she nodded, hands shoved in her jacket pocket.
“oh yeah, i totally got it under control”
the room fell silent again.
“actually no, everything isn’t okay um i feel like things were off when i left? are we—are we okay?” you sucked in a deep breath, the conversation you had with lois the other day flooding your mind.
“i fell in love with you kara” you chuckle out “i-i want more then this, i want to wake up with you instead of watching you rush out of my apartment, i want—” your words were cut off with the familiar feeling of her lips on yours. you were taken a back at first but rather quickly your lips melted into hers.
“i want this” she muttered against your lips “i want you”
“doesn’t matter anymore, i’m yours, if you’ll have me?” she asked, her piercing blue eyes staring into yours. you answered by connecting your lips with hers again. at first it was soft, reassuring, longing. but rather quickly the kisses became harsher, more teeth, more tongue, more passion.
it would have became more if it hadn’t been for krypto’s rather loud bark.
kara sucked her teeth—eye rolling as she looked down at him.
“should have left you with clark” she muttered.
