757. Chapter 757

Kara and Lena had crashed out hours before, curled in each other’s arms on Winn’s couch, limbs all askew and Kara floating slightly, Lena balanced effortlessly on her stomach and chest.

“What if we just poked the two of them, just a little bit?” Adrian wanted to know, a mischievous look in his eyes. “I mean, they look so darn cute like that, but I mean, also, really pokeable.”

He turned to Alex, sprawled on the floor in Maggie’s arms, Scrabble board in front of them. “Does Kara full-out fly in her sleep, or just float?”

“You don’t wanna know,” they groaned affectionately. “When we were teenagers, she would do the equivalent of sleep walking. Except, Kryptonian-on-Earth style.”

“I’m sure it was very cute,” Lena murmured softly, mostly asleep and completely groggy.

Winn rolled around on the floor, failing to stifle a belly laugh.

James glanced at the clock. “Okay boys and enbies, take off your binders before we play the next round, okay?”

“You mean before Mags and I keep kicking your asses at Scrabble,” Alex grumbled as they obediently dragged themself up, tugging Winn and Adrian off the ground with them.

“The boys are actually winning,” Lena murmured, again mostly sleeping and just this side of incoherent.

“Rude, Luthor,” Maggie scolded with a laugh.

Kara, in her light sleep, pulled Lena closer.

“No calling my wife rude,” she insisted, floating a little bit higher, like the slightly increased altitude would make Lena immune to familial accusations of rudeness.

James and Maggie nearly knocked over the Scrabble board with their failed attempts to hold in their laughter.

“Can I borrow a big shirt, Winn?” Adrian called from the bathroom, a whisper-shout for the ages. “I forgot to bring an extra.”

“You and Alex are going to rob me of all my clothes, I swear.”

“But you love us,” Alex singsonged from the bedroom, where they were changing behind Winn.

“Yeah, yeah,” he smiled, tugging on his own sweater – well, his boyfriend’s old Metropolis sweater – before tossing Alex a cutoff and heading to the bathroom to pass Adrian an oversized bi pride tee.

He sipped his beer while he waited for Adrian and Alex to finish changing, leaning in his bedroom doorway and watching his family enjoy their Game Night.

“Partner stretches?” Alex asked as they emerged from his room.

“I volunteer!” Maggie nearly spilled her own beer bottle in her haste to get up, because Alex was now only in boy shorts and Winn’s cutoff.

“I guess I’m stuck with you then, kid,” Winn smiled as Adrian came out of the bathroom.

He gently helped Adrian stretch out his chest, easing away the tension from a day of safety in his binder, and Adrian counted Winn’s breaths as he returned the favor.

It was James’ turn, now, to watch his family love each other; Kara and Lena still floating, Maggie and Alex tickling each other through Alex’s stretches, his boyfriend and Adrian giggling through theirs.

The world needed more nights like this.

Especially ones where Winn put on his old Metropolis sweater.
