Fic: Kara goes out and Lena is jealous, but quickly realizes she has no need to be

Lena rolled over in her sleep, reaching out for the unusually cold side of the bed, eyebrows furrowing as her hands met with silky sheets instead of the warmth she was looking for.

Kara and Lena were supposed to attend Winn's surprise birthday party that night, but an unforeseen stomach bug took Lena by surprise and she found herself locked in the bathroom when it was time to go.

"My love? Everything all right in there?" Kara gently knocked on the door.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine. Well, maybe not so fine, but you need to leave now to be there when they bring out the cake." Lena urged Kara.

"Well...I do really want to see the look on his face..., but are you sure I shouldn't be staying here with you? We can cuddle up in bed with a movie instead? I'm sure Winn will understand." Kara offered.

That sounded like a dream to Lena, but she felt bad enough missing their friend's party, she couldn't deprive them all of a night of Kara's company, even if it meant she'd have to nurse herself back to health for the night.

"No, i'm feeling better already. I think I just need to head to bed and get an absurd amount of sleep. You go, and I'll see you after." Lena said through the door.

"Hmm... I don't love that. I hate leaving you regularly, but leaving when you're sick..."

"Kara, please. It won't be a real party without you there. I promise I'm fine."

"Well if you insist, but you have to text me if anything goes wrong, and i'll race back here." Kara insisted.

Lena almost glowed with the love she felt for Kara in the moment. Lena knew Kara loved her, but Kara's protectiveness over her always tugged on her heart. She hadn't grown up with family or friends who put her needs first, and Kara seemed to do it so effortlessly.

"Yes I will! Now go or you'll miss the surprise!"

"Fine but promise me you'll text if it gets worse." Kara reiterated.

"Yes, I promise, I promise, now get out of here." Lena demanded.

That had been hours ago, and after Kara ran out the door, Lena had promptly dragged herself to bed and fallen into a restless slumber.

She was still half asleep when she checked the clock and saw it was 2am. Her eyelids were still heavy, but she missed Kara's presence. As much as Lena needed the sleep, the bed felt weird without Kara there.

Lena lay in bed, letting herself drift in and out of sleep when the sudden image of Kara at the bar talking to other girls popped in her head. Lena's heart twinged. But that was ridiculous. Lena knew Kara. She knew that she was being silly and paranoid and jealous. She couldn't even bring herself to really feel jealous because she knew how absurd she was being.

She hoped Kara was having a great time with her friends, but she just couldn't help feeling a little crazy sometimes. Kara was beautiful, and charming, and perfect, and how could anyone not be interested. Lena sighed and shoved her intrusive thoughts away, willing herself to go back to sleep.

Not too long after, Kara came tiptoeing into the room, doing her best to try to not wake Lena.

"Ow, SHIT." Kara yelled.

Lena groggily opened her eyes to see Kara sheepishly smiling at her while holding her very stubbed toe.

"Hi, how was your night?" Lena stretched in bed smiling.

"Oh my god!!! You should have seen Winn's face when the cake came out!!!" Kara almost squeaked with excitement. "And babe. Babe! I beat everyone in an arm wrestling match."

Lena didn't even know what to say she just burst out into peals of laughter.

Kara almost looked offended "What? What's so funny?"

"You, you went to a birthday party at a bar and" Lena could barely get the sentence out through her giggles "and, you made everyone arm wrestle you?"

"I didn't just make everyone arm wrestle me, I WON." Kara huffed.

Lena couldn't help herself. She took in Kara's look of mild frustration, and as much as she wanted to celebrate Kara's wins, she needed to laugh.

"Sorry, sorry. I just. I adore you." Lena finally managed to get out between bouts of laughter.

"Oh. You do?" A blush creeped up Kara's already flushed face.

"Yes idiot. I love you."

"I love you too." Kara's tone softened. "But you weren't very supportive of my achievements." Kara added attempting to sound defensive.

"I'm sorry. I just. I was worried about you talking to other girls, and I feel so silly. You're perfect." Lena said basking in her adoration of this dork in front of her.

"Oh why would I do that?" Kara said geuniely confused.

"I don't know, I was being silly. I think I just missed you."

"I missed you too." Kara smiled softly. "But thank goodness you weren't there or I would have had to take you down." Kara feigned seriousness.

"Oh you wish!" Lena retorted grabbing Kara and rolling her onto the bed and peppering Kara with kisses.
