725. Chapter 725

“Hey babe,” Maggie leans down to kiss Alex’s cheek, in that flirtatious way she has that makes Alex feel both masculine and feminine and everything between and beyond, all at the same time.

“Hey,” Alex croaks, still getting used to the shiver that runs down their spine when Maggie looks at them like… like this.

“Cold pizza?”

Maggie hops down the last couple of steps, outside the library when Alex had set up their little studying camp.

“Rao, you’re perfect,” Alex groans as they reach for the pizza box and digs right in. “Can you have class with Jessy forever?”

Maggie chuckles as she settles next to Alex and grabs her own slice. “I’m not sure he’d be too into the idea of my being friends with him for the pizza he gets from his job.”

“I didn’t mean it like that,” Alex protests through a full mouth.

“Shh, I know babe,” Maggie’s gaze drifts down to Alex’s lips.

“Are you seriously finding me attractive while I’m all pizza-y?”

“Pizza-y?” Maggie retorts. “This is why you’re majoring in all things science, not English, right?”

“I’d be a great English major. Shakespeare made up all kinds of words, didn’t he?”

“Oh, so now you’re an enby Shakespeare,” Maggie flirts, and Alex sighs happily as Maggie plays with the bit of their hair peeking out from under their snapback.

Alex’s breath hitches as Maggie’s fingers skim across their earlobe, followed by her hot breath, her lips.

“You’re the hottest human around even when you’re all pizza-y, Danvers.”

Maggie chuckles as Alex preens. “That so?” they ask, and just as their lips are parting to touch Maggie’s, a very familiar squeal makes them both jump.

“You got me pizza! Alex, you’re the best big sibling ever!” Kara suddenly has the pizza box in her hands, and two stacked slices in her mouth.

Alex pulls Maggie into their lap as they both laugh.

“What makes you think the box is for you, Little Danvers?” Maggie laughs. “Or that Al’s the one who got it for you?”

Kara’s eyes widen as her jaw freezes mid-chew. “Ahoeeiisomooaee?”

“Pardon?” Maggie smiles as Alex laughs lightly at their little sister.

“Say what, sis?”

Kara takes a gigantic swallow as she collapses onto the stairs next to Maggie and Alex.

“I said, I’m sorry, is this from Maggie?”

“Yep, and it was actually for your sib, kid,” Maggie smirks even as she offers Kara another slice.

“You are the best. Alex, keep your girlfriend, okay?”

“That’s exactly what I plan to do,” Alex kisses the nape of their girlfriend’s neck, and the next few hours turn into the best study break they three have had yet.
