Summary; Kara and Anthony hang out and have a DTR talk.
Log; After the cannibal day, just relaxing with Anthony had been a nice break from the crazy. That's one of the things she liked about him, he could always make her feel normal. Well, he made her feel special too, but not Supergirl special, more like that Kara was special all on her own.

She had no clue what movie they were watching, she had checked out the moment Anthony somewhat hesitantly put an arm around her shoulders. There had been a moment of excited butterflies in her stomach for him taking the initiative and she had paid him back by snuggling up close against him. After that, all she really wanted to focus on was how good it felt to have him so close.

She felt like this was a kind of moment, where their relationship was sort of crossing boundaries. It was nice, but she bit her lip in thought as she wondered if now might be a good time to bring up some aspects of their relationship that she wasn't sure on.

Being on house arrest, pardon, bed rest sucked big time. Sure, it meant Anthony didn't get in trouble with the most recent curse, but still. There were only that many hours one could spend rereading books from the Library and getting frustrated because he couldn't work in the warehouse.

That's why any guests were more than welcome to come by. And Kara... He liked having Kara around more than the rest of the people he met in the City. She was funny and smart and really, really awesome. And he was awesome too, since he gathered courage to put his arm around her. AND! he didn't get punched for his efforts.

Not only he didn't get punched, he smiled when Kara snuggled closer. He leaned in and whispered to her ear. "Watch this, I love this part."

Thank God he saw that movie several times and he didn't have to pay complete attention to actually follow what was happening. So he allowed himself to enjoy the feel of Kara next to him.

Kara grinned and put a hand on his chest, turning his attention back to the movie that they were watching so that she could see the chase seen Anthony was talking about.

"Wait, doesn't that black car get hit by a semi truck or something?" she asked, glancing up to look at him. She vaguely remembered seeing the movie before.

"Or am I getting confused?"

He grinned as he looked down at her. "I am not telling you. It'll take out the fun in it," he told her. Because he was mean like that. Yes, Anthony Rutherford, the mean bastard. At least a little.

"Besides. You never know. It might be a version from a different world than yours. Who knows, the scene might end differently than what you remember." Which would be awesome and unexpected

"I'm totally making you sit through Titanic then, just so we can see if maybe the boat doesn't sink," she teased. "Just kidding, I hated that movie. If we were stuck in the ocean, I'd totally make room for you on the door. Leo was skinny, he totally coulda fit."

The thought of Titanic, the tale of the most tragically stupid couple since Romeo and Juliet, brought to mind again the status of their relationship.

"Hey, do you mind if I ask you something?" she said, reaching out to take the remote and pause the movie.

"I'd make room for you on the door too," he said before he could think. Slightly insulted that she even had to ask. "Although technically since you can fly, we wouldn't even have that problem to begin with," he pointed out.

No, he didn't suspect anything... He wouldn't know what hit him.

"Okay, look, before I ask what I want to ask, I want to make a few things clear," she said. Kara had remembered what Anthony's older self had said, warning her about terms like 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend'.

"Or maybe I'll ask and clarify as we ask," she said, frowning a bit. God, why was this so difficult? "What are, I mean, are we... what are we, Anthony? And wait, before you freak out, just hear me out, okay? I'm not asking to be your girlfriend or you to be my boyfriend. We don't have to put a label like that on us. But there is an us, and if there's going to keep being an us that's more than just friends, I- I guess I want assurances that there's just going to be an Anthony and Kara and no Anthony and some other girl too. Do you get what I'm saying?"

Anthony moved his arm back a bit, so it was resting on the back of the couch instead of around Kara's shoulders. And he made himself more comfortable on the couch... moving away from Kara as well, even though only slightly and he didn't even notice he was doing it.

"No, not really," he said carefully.

He was getting some of it though. The part about being more than friends and disscussing what they were. It was time for him to bolt. Next thing Kara will be asking to spend more time with him, he'll have no time for his friends, for his bike, for his car, for him. It always went that way and he hated it.

Kara sighed, she cold tell he was freaking out, and not just from the way he pulled away from her but from the way his heartbeat was going faster and how he chose his words so carefully. This is exactly what she didn't want to happen. She thought she had been pretty easy going about this but apparently not.

"Please," she said, trying hard not to make it sound like she was pleading. Shifting, she pulled away further from him and sat up straighter to look him in the eyes.

"Pleased don't freak out. I'm not asking for you to do anything different than you're already doing, Anthony. I'm really not. All I want is to know that you're not going to pursue this sort of thing with other girls."

He didn't respond right away. But he did relax a bit when she told him she didn't expect anything different from him. He looked at her, trying not to come off as being suspicious...

"Why would I?" he asked. That part he really didn't understand. Why would he get himself into more mess if meeting, dating, one girl was as weird and challenging... "I mean... date other girls..."

Kara bit her lip nervously again when he didn't answer right away. She knew that having him think it over wasn't necessarily a bad thing but she couldn't help but be nervous.

His reply though was almost too cute to be true. She wanted to reach up and pat his cheek.

"Because some guys like to keep their options open," she said with a bit of a shrug. "You didn't seem like that kind of guy, but I guess I just sorta wanted confirmation. Or to, you know, give you a chance to bail if you wanted..."

Anthony shrugged. "If I want out, I'll let you know... But I'd never... you know... date two girls at once..." Puppy had rules and this was a big no-no in his book.

Yes, he was slightly insulted she'd suggest it.

Kara sighed with relief and relaxed back into him again, that had been really good to hear, although she didn't expect any other answer.

"Thanks, I didn't think you were that kind of guy but sometimes I'm just a stupid girl about stuff," she told him.

"It's okay..." he told her "Everybody has their stupid moments... Though, you know, let's, uhm... not have this partiucular stupid moment again, okay?"

As soon as he said that he realized it might've came out the wrong way and he winced internally.

"I promise, the "seeing one person at a time" conversation only happens once," she said, beaming a smile at him before snuggling back against him. She was about to press play when she thought of something else.

"When I said nothing would change? I totally lied. I've been wanting to make out with you forever butwas waiting until we had this talk," she said before pressing play on the remote.

He smiled, relieved that he won't have to go through this again... And then his brain froze.

Wait... what?

"And now, that we did...?" he asked carefully, not wanting to jump into conclusions.

"Shhhh," she said, eyes glued to the TV as she pressed a finger to his lips. She knew it was rather horrible of her to do, but she couldn't help it.

"This is a good part, I don't want to miss it."

That was low. Cruel, evil and low. And he was perfectly aware that she was doing it on purpose.

He bit her finger gently.

Kara laughed and squirmed a bit, pleased that he was teasing back. She tried to keep her eyes on the movie though, like it really was important to her.

"Shhhh," he told her when she laughed. "It's the good part. You want to see that one."

"Mmmm, I'm watching, I'm watching," she said, sitting up a little straighter so that she cold nuzzle along his neck, still doing her best to keep her eyes on the screen.

Evil. Evil and mean, like he suspected. He wasn't able to watch the movie or tease her back. Not with her doing that

"Hey..." he moved away a little and kissed her. Better.

Kara let out a small "meep" as he kissed her, not expecting him to take the initiative quite like that. Not that she was complaining, far from it. Relaxing against him, she kissed him back, humming happily.

Okay, so in a way it was a huge victory that she didn't punch him or anything. Encuraged by her reaction, he simply pulled her closer and kept on kissing her.

Kara liked this, she liked it a lot. Anthony was surprisingly forward once he seemed to be given an 'all clear' of sorts.

She shifted her position just a bit so that she was straddling him, her hands pressing up against his chest as they continued to kiss. God she had been wanting to do this with him forever.
