How could I not? Outside of defending our honor, you were pretty much smiling the entire time...very bubbly. And being intoxicated just gave me the excuse to get to carry you. The evil eye, huh? If he only knew.
You carried me while I was drunk, which means I don't remember it. I wish I did. Just reading that has my heart beating faster, you know. Haha, right?! He's an... a. Um. Hardass. I know that's not very nice, but it's the truth!
Ms. Grant was tougher than he is, but in a nicer way. If that makes sense.
You were nearly asleep by the time I got us back to your apartment. You don't need to worry though it's not going to be the last time I carry you.
It makes sense, even when someone's being hard on you, it's easy to tell their real intentions. You know, I can be pretty intimidating even as Oliver Queen. Should Snapper need a visit.
Good! Next time, maybe I'll make it more interesting for you.
That's very true, it is; and she can be mean, but Ms. Grant has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. So I've heard! And I want to thank you for the offer. But, Snapper's right: I didn't get that job because I have press credentials. I need to earn my keep there, and get better with my writing. Ms. Grant offered me a promotion of 'any job you want' out of the blue a few months ago.
Getting to carry you to bed is a pretty difficult nightcap to beat. What if I said I already had an idea for next time?
As long as he's trying to guide you towards being a better journalist, I guess I can give him a pass. Ms. Grant obviously saw something in you though. Funny to think about being the subject of so many press write ups, now I'm dating a member of it.
Getting to carry me to bed while I'm *awake* might just beat that, Ollie. Not that I'm an expert or anything. But you should try it sometime. Oh? Let's hear this idea.
Thank you! I think he's something I need to handle by myself. I don't know what--but she's amazing, and I hope she comes back sometime soon. Hey, Supergirl is an established 'source' of mine. If you need any positive press in National City, let me know and I'll write it. There's benefits to dating a member of it.
Then I won't get to hear the cute and revealing things you say when half asleep. Kidding, mostly. We'll try it your way next time. I'm a fan of you in my arms. Oh, my idea? You, me, and a drinking game I picked up in Russia
You'll process that you deserve and belong to be there, Kara. I'm incredibly biased but find you undeniable. I hope she does too, I wouldn't mind meeting her. You do kind of have the inside scoop on Supergirl don't you? ;) Being the subject of your writing may actually make me turn as red as you normally do.
Only 'mostly', huh? The things I say must be pretty revealing when I'm out of it. I like being in your arms, so it works out--although! Have *you* ever been carried like that before? I wouldn't mind trying it, too. And that drinking game. I think.
It might take a while, because I'm not expecting it to be easy. But I'm determined. Well, yeah; you're really really biased and it's very endearing. I'm biased too, when it comes to you. That'd be pretty interesting! Her wit is, um. Razor sharp. Yeah, I do. It sure helps, ngl. :D Ok well now how can I NOT write about you? You've just made that decision so, so easy for me.
The words sweetly sexy could be applied to them. Is that a term? If not, we just made it one. I've been unconsciously slung over someone's shoulder, which isn't really the same, so the answer would be no. I haven't. Don't worry, it'll just be the two of us, and I'll take care of you.
The things worth it are never easy. Well, almost, considering how smooth things have been as far as you and I. Not that I don't think there will be bumps along the way. I'm in favor of your bias. Razor sharp, huh? I'll have to be on my A game then. You can try to write about me, but now I may set out to distract you at every possible chance.
I think *you* just made it one, which I find adorable. Sometimes, you're really, really cute. Would you want me to try it sometime, then? I won't drop you. I'm not worried. I'll happily put my life in your hands, so I think we'll be okay with a drinking game. Still... that's sweet of you to say.
Almost, yeah--living in alternate dimensions hasn't stopped us from having a smooth start. And I don't mind if there are bumps. I've got you. You're worth any and every one of them and more. Is that a challenge? That reads like a challenge. Okay, how's this: I'll do my work exclusively in the DEO control room with no less than ten people present at any given time. Try distracting me then without us getting caught. ;)
Only when I have the proper motivation, so you have to take a little credit for it. Saying no to you is nearly impossible, not that I want to say no, which means you can try it. It's a thing worth saying. Besides, we'll get to be creative together and come up with more...intimate rules for it, since it's you and I, instead of the bratva.
It kind of adds to it, doesn't it? I don't want the distance, obviously, but I can't really deny how much it uh excites me when I know I'm about to get to see you after a week away or more. Oh, it's definitely a challenge. DEO control room, at least ten people present, that's quite the obstacle course. Lucky enough, I love a challenge. Do I get to use whatever is at my disposal?
Just a little bit, since you're the one actually typing those things. :P I'll note that for sometime in the future, then! The when will be a surprise. I like where this is going a little more than I should, considering I'm at work. Congratulations, it's officially uncomfortable to sit at my desk with the state of things.
( More like the state of her underwear. )
Do you think we'd still have that excitement if we were living together all the time? I hadn't really thought about it, but I think we would. It's not like we go home to *stay* home. That wouldn't be a fair challenge if I were to say no, so you can. But this is hardmode since J'onn, Alex and my best friend, Winn are usually in that room when I am.
So you're going to flip things upside down and sweep me off my feet instead? Not a bad plan, Ms. Danvers. Getting you bothered at work is a skill I plan to keep using. Does it make it better or worse if I say I would help? At least a hand in your panties.
Yeah, I do. A different kind of excitement, maybe an even better one. Being out on patrol, having your voice in my head thru the comm devices, and knowing after all that we get to meet back up? Excitement isn't ever going to be a problem for us. Everything at my disposal. Winn is the one into tech, right? I've got something planned to help. Which would leave Alex and J'onn. Kara, the things I'm going to do to you when they aren't paying attention.
At the rate you're going, that's a definite yes. A question, on that note: the sphinx or the Eiffel tower? ;) Uhhhh both. Depending on the definition of 'worse' being applied here. I literally can't get up from my desk. Now would be a really good time to sweep me off my feet.
Better, because being on the same planet would be kind of nice. I'm not going to dance around that fact. I liked the first time, and every time since--getting to have you all to myself afterward without having to travel through a portal would be a thrill unto itself. Mmm. That's him. I'm actually looking forward to you succeeding in this challenge, do you know that? You should issue one to me sometime.
Tough choices; two places I've never actually visited before. Eiffel Tower, especially since you can get us to the top of it. You can't? Revenge from all the times you did the same to me. I'd love to sweep you off your feet right now, and to feel just how wet your panties are getting.
Neither am I, that's the ultimate goal, I don't care how fast we're moving, Kara, I mean...when it's what we both want, why try and deny it? No portals, just a place we can be alone. Doesn't sound too bad. Oh, I'll succeed. Now that you mention it, I do need to come up with one for you. Fair is fair.
That's where I'll sweep you off to, then. I'm sure the view from the top is amazing. If I can tear my eyes off of you for a second to appreciate it. No, I--really? How many times are we talking about here? If I can feel it on my thighs, I'm guessing it's pretty damp. Just to give you an idea.
I don't care, either. Other people might end up doing a double take, but I just don't care what anyone else thinks but you. We're both happy with how things are, and I'm not about to change that. Not too bad at all. Actually, it sounds more like Heaven than anything else. You might as well think out loud... or out in text here, Ollie. I'm already enjoying this conversation in more ways than one.
People thought I was spoiled when I had a trustfund....I think having a girlfriend who is going to fly us to the top of the Eiffel Tower kind of trumps that. I know the feeling, though. Not being able to look away from you. Hm, at least a dozen. Do you know how many times I've had to slip away from everyone in the foundry just to deal with the 'problem' you caused? My biggest regret right now is not being able to taste the fruit of my effort.
Other people's opinions don't matter to me either. We live the kind of lives that are higher stakes than most. Convention shouldn't dictate when we get to be together, or how soon. I look forward to the domestic things just as much. Like picking out a bed together....and getting to break it in. I should, it helps the thought process...and maybe I like sharing it with you. The real question is should I come up with one that includes you not being able to use your abilities?
It's the little things that truly spoil people, I think. I don't need the highest-paying job, or the biggest apartment. I like the ones I have--and I've got you. And a great family. And they're *your* family. So we're both spoiled. Going to France is just the icing on all that. No, I don't know. But I want to.And I want to cause many more 'problems' for you. Like maybe right now, since it seems only fair. You taste incredible, by the way. I've been too shy to tell you. Seeing as you're being bad right now, though, I may as well be, too.
Exactly. I look forward to the same things, and if we both want them... then we should just go out and get them, right? I like your line of thought, there. My apartment is a little on the small side for two people, but I'm sure a trip to IKEA can fix that. You'll finally get to show off your manly handyman skills with their weird screwdriver thingy. I like sharing it with you, too. Aha, well. Let me know before the trip to the island then, is all I ask. I'll be conveniently without my powers, then.
It took me awhile to learn that, but I think you're right. Fulfillment comes from the places I didn't really expect before. I..yes, family is in short supply, and knowing that I'm going to have a second one out there, it's beyond words. You cause them all the time, Kara. When I'm in my office, going over some new building proposals, and all I can think about is the way you looked in your bed last weekend, undressed, waiting for me. Then safe to say, get out from behind my desk for awhile. The shyness is actually pretty attractive to me in general but...that's good, because it drives me crazy when you have your mouth on me.
Go and get them is kind of our way, I think. So I'm always on board with that. Your apartment might lack space but it makes it more intimate, too. Oh, I'll be sure to assemble it shirtless then, so I can get some extra flexing in. Actually, do you know what's going to be fun even before then? Setting up a challenge to counteract your abilities. Make it a little harder.
We've both lost everything; it gives us a different perspective. It's simpler, and we appreciate what we have more for it. You're not going to, you *do*. I don't think we need to be married for that, you know? That just makes it official to everyone else, but for us? My family is yours, and yours is mine, right? I don't think Eliza or Alex would object. Or Jeremiah. It's nice to you we think of each other just as much, then. For the record, I'll be wearing your shirts more often. I like smelling like you. I can't move from my desk with my very male boss staring at me as if I've grown three heads, Ollie. It's weird. I like having my mouth on you and seeing how you move and look when I do.
Then when the urge strikes us, we'll do it. I know it. You really do like putting on a show for me, don't you? Counter--oh, you! That's... sounding like a lot of fun.
By the way, I'd recorded this on my phone a while back and meant to send it to you, but here. [001.m4a] It's one of my favourite songs.
Appreciating what we have is a big step. I didn't used to, I just had...tunnel vision, I guess. Anything that wasn't right in front of me didn't matter. Kara, yes. It's already official to us. My family is yours and yours is mine. That definitely means I need to get to know Alex better. You will? Because my shirts look even better on you. I may have a picture of you saved wearing one of them. I feel *a little* guilty for him staring at you, though. The last time you did, I couldn't even think straight, just...how good it felt.
You're right, and until then, the trips are going to be more frequent, less time apart. Only a show for you, but yes. How do you feel about a very adult version of hide and seek? Except all of Star City is game, and despite the super senses, I think I can make it a challenge for you to find me.
Kara...I didn't know you could sing, or that it would sound so beautiful. I just...that's amazing
