“I can’t sleep without you here” Hmm…FLUFFY????

musetotheworld:

It should be ridiculous, how long Cat tosses and turns before giving in. She’s slept alone before, dammit. It’s not like this is anything new. And it’s not like this thing with Kara is serious yet. Definitely not serious enough that she should even be considering calling the younger woman and asking her to come over. Just because she’s dating a superhero doesn’t mean she should take advantage of that fact while she’s stuck overseas on business. Surely there’s a date timeline on when that’s appropriate? Considering they’re still on official date three, calling Kara just because she’s a little lonely seems a bit needy.

True, the number of official dates is only low because of repeated cancellations from one or the other of them. The city needs saved on a regular basis after all, and so does Cat’s empire. It’s hard to schedule evenings out around those pressures. But ever since that second date, several months ago, Kara had been given a standing invitation to sneak in through Cat’s balcony door whenever she finished with the latest villain of the week. An invitation she’d taken more often than not.

Which led Cat to her current dilemma. She was too used to Kara’s warmth next to her, and between that and the stress of this trip she’s struggling to relax enough for sleep to come. And knowing that Kara can make it to her hotel room in less than ten minutes is not helping.

After a few more unsuccessful attempts to fall asleep, Cat gives in. “I can’t sleep without you here…” is all her text says, but she knows it will be enough. Kara hasn’t let her down yet, after all.
