Chapter 151

Kara and Lena don't end up leaving their room that day. Lena didn't mind if they did or didn't, so she left it up to Kara, who insisted that she needed her "Lena cuddles."

"We'll have to announce this, darling." Lena murmurs into Kara's shoulder from where she's snuggled up against her. She says it not to try to away her decision, but to make sure Kara's considered all their duties before making a decision.

"I know. We can do it tomorrow."

Lena nods and closes her eyes, humming contently when Kara kisses her forehead. They lie in silence for a moment and Lena chuckles softly when Kara's stomach rumbles.

Kara's arms tighten around her when Lena tries to get up and Lena lets out an amused huff, looking up at her girlf-her fiancée. Gods, she could get used to thinking of Kara as her fiancée. Though she can't wait to be able to call Kara her wife.

"Darling, you're hungry." Lena says gently. "I can just go get the guard to bring us food if you want."

Kara hesitates for a moment, not sure if Lena leaving her arms is worth it. Her stomach growls again and she gives in, nodding. Lena gives Kara a sweet kiss before getting up and heading over to the door. She speaks softly with a guard  that was walking past for a moment before thanking them and leaving their door open a crack for the guard to be able to get in.

She climbs back onto their bed and laughs when Kara immediately wraps her arms around her. Lena pulls Kara closer and kisses her gently. Their eyes flutter shut as their lips move together softly. Kara turns her head slightly to kiss her at a different angle, one hand moving up from where it was resting on Lena's hip to gently tangle in her hair. Lena smiles into the kiss when Kara's other hand moves up to gently cup her face. She can feel the ring on Kara's finger against her skin and it makes her heart melt in her chest.

Kara only pulls back when she hears a hesitant knock at the door. This time, she's the one to get up. Lena has a dazed look in her eyes, and while Kara's sure she does too, her hair isn't as noticeably mussed up as Lena's is. Kara knows that the guards probably think they're doing something involving a lot less clothing when they have days like this where they don't leave their room. While that might be the case on some days, on other days it's because they're reading together or are tired after a long day of training.

Lena looks up at where Kara's thanking the guard and then she wheels their tray in. It's stacked more precariously than Lena would like and she gets up to help Kara unload it onto the table. Just like Lena thought, one of the plates falls, only to be caught by Kara's superspeed.

"We almost lost the eggs!" Kara gasps, eyeing the plate. She sets it down on the table carefully.

"The guard did bring us a lot of food, darling. For humans, this is a good-sized buffet." Lena says.

Kara hums and sets the last plate on the table. She hands a bare plate to Lena, who begins taking the tops off of the plates and placing food on her plate. Kara replaces the tops to keep the food at the temperate they were intended to be at.

Lena sits down on her chair and Kara sits down on hers, moving it so that it's as close as they can get without hindering each other's ability to eat. Kara pulls the first plate in front of her and grins when she sees it's the plate with pancakes. She grabs the syrup and pours a glob onto the side of the plate before handing the bottle to Lena.

They eat in relative silence, which Lena appreciates because of Kara's eating habits. She has gotten much better, and Lena knows that it won't all go away but Kara's made the effort to try to get better, not just for Lena but for herself too. It will be helpful for her to have table manners when she becomes Queen.

They clean up and set everything back on the cart. At this point in their relationship, Lena isn't surprised that Kara managed to scarf down all the food. She's still impressed by her fiancée's bottomless pit for a stomach. It's part of Kara, and Lena loves all of her. Even her most disturbing eating habits.

They put the cart outside their door, knowing that the next guard that patrols by will bring it to the kitchens. They climb back into bed and Lena rests her head on Kara's shoulder again, their legs intertwined and Lena's arm draped over Kara's stomach.

"Afternoon nap?" Lena murmurs when she feels Kara yawn.

"Mm hmm." Kara hums.

She closes her eyes and relaxes, loving the feeling of Lena in her arms. Her fiancée. Rao, she loves that she can call her that now. A slow, lazy smile spreads across Kara's face at the thought of their inevitable wedding. They'll have to discuss it more to work out the details, but Kara's certain that Lena would be more than happy to intermix the human style of weddings and the Kryptonian style.

"Darling?" Lena asks softly. Kara hums in acknowledgement. "Can we work on our bracelets tomorrow? And then train? I feel like I haven't trained as much as I should."

"Sounds good. Do you want to train just with me or with Maggie and Alex too?" Kara asks sleepily.

"All four of us, if you don't mind. We can tell whoever you'd like tomorrow as well."

Kara perks up at that, grinning dreamily at her fiancée. "I want to shout it from the rooftops, let everyone know that we're going to get married."

"I'm not sure Cat would appreciate you doing that, or your mother." Lena chuckles. "They probably have planned the announcement for your wedding for years."

Kara hums and hugs Lena tighter. "Probably. But we can worry about that tomorrow. And I promise, no shouting from the rooftops. Some of the aliens in National City are nocturnal and I'm not sure they would appreciate me waking them up."

Lena laughs softly and presses a kiss to Kara's lips before snuggling back in, closing her eyes and settling in for their afternoon nap.

These two are just so cute! Next chapter will probably include them telling people, and maybe making the bracelet? We'll see! And I'll have to brush up on Kryptonian wedding ceremonies, I only know what I've read from other fanfictions haha. Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
