Note

For the fake dating thing 11 with whomever you want!

“Do you always get into fist fights on first dates, or am I just lucky?”

There is a bruise already forming on Kara’s jaw, and her hand still has a phantom ache that won’t go away. There might be a touch of blood on the lapel of her shirt, too, but she has been unable to confirm without ready access to a mirror. But it’s this—the firm click of silver six-inch heels against pavement announcing Lena’s arrival—that brings Kara an instant sense of uneasiness.

“It’s kind of in the job description,” Kara shrugs off the rhetorical question. “You know, of being a girlfriend.”

Lena Luthor has an uncanny ability to make Kara feel completely, totally inept in any situation just with a quizzical quirk of an eyebrow and a ruby-red lipsticked frown. Not because she deliberately tries to, but because that’s just the Luthor™ way. Every member of that family seems to have mastered the ability to stare hard enough to make anyone squirm. Even though Kara has known Lena since they were kids—even though they know each other better than anyone else in the world—the effect is the same.

“That might be the most idiotic thing you’ve said all night.” Despite her stoic expression, Lena’s voice is surprisingly soft. “You should have walked away.”

“That would have been worse than not punching Mike Matthews, I think,” Kara says. “Really, I’m ninety-five percent sure I’m supposed to defend your honor, or… whatever the saying is.”

And the strangest thing happens; a glimpse of amusement cracks through Lena’s frown, visible in the ever-so-gentle upturn of the corner of her mouth. “Sorry, did I miss the part where we time traveled a hundred years ago?”

“It’s—you know what I mean,” Kara says. “If I was your real girlfriend everyone would expect me to punch guys in the face for you.”

“Or,” Lena counters, “it might be overkill, since everyone knows you are not inherently a violent person.”

Kara sheepishly tugs at her collar, unable to stop herself from flushing when Lena gazes at her so pointedly. “Does it matter if everyone who meets Mike wants to punch him? Because I’m pretty sure he could make a nun violent.”

“Wow,” Lena says. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you say a mean thing about anyone before this.”

“Yeah, well…” Kara grimaces. “Mike Matthews brings it out of me. Or maybe this stuffy party does.” Her hand unconsciously goes back to her jacket, and she has to shrug it off all at once, suddenly feeling constricted in her suit. “I don’t know how you do it.”

Lena must be far more uncomfortable than Kara is, with those high heels and the skintight dress and the overall burden of familial expectations hanging on her shoulders, but she masks it remarkably well. “Practice,” she says—sighs. “And whiskey.”

“Gross,” Kara says, unconsciously crinkling her nose as she works at undoing her tie next. “I’m more of a Capri Sun girl myself.”

A short, stunned laugh emerges before Lena can likely quell it. “Right, how could I forget,” she says, and tilts her head in that curious way she does whenever she has a question she isn’t sure how to ask. But it must pass, because her actual question comes out in the form of: “Is there a reason you’re stripping in full view of the paparazzi?”

“Fan service?” It’s a weak joke, but it makes Lena roll her eyes in that mock-exasperated way that Kara knows would be a laugh out of anyone else. “I just need to cool off, maybe. Then I promise, I’ll be your doting girlfriend for all the cameras again.” She allows a beat before she adds, perhaps unnecessarily, “Without any violence.”

“Yes, I think my mother would very much prefer that.”

Kara laughs, remembering the horrified look on Lillian Luthor’s face with—admittedly—a bit of glee. “Yeah,” she says, “I’m sure she’s thrilled with how tonight is going.”

“Well, she does think it’s all part of a rebellious phase,” Lena muses. “She’s convinced I’m doing this just to spite her.”

Kara has felt the brunt of Lillian’s disapproval back since she first befriended Lena when they were kids, back when they were auditioning for the same movie. Honestly, there is no telling why Lillian has always disliked Kara. Maybe it was because she wasn’t a nepotism baby like all the rest of crowd, or maybe it was because Kara would sneak Lena out of the giant Luthor mansion to go to the movies, or maybe it was because when they were teenagers Kara had wrecked the Porsche (on a dare)...but that disdain has been steadfast ever since they were young, and it’s never once wavered. Everyone knows it. Lena knows it.

Which is why Kara is unable to keep the confusion out of her voice when she says, “Uh. Aren’t you?”

“Aren’t I…what?” Lena repeats, lost.

“Pretending to date me to spite her?” Kara prompts. “You know. Since she hates me?”

Lena’s brow furrows ever-so-slightly. “I didn’t mean dating you,” she says. “I mean dating in general. She thinks it’s a distraction.” She absentmindedly picks at one of the sequins on her dress, a nervous tic that she has never been able to shake. “God, it’s getting cold out here.”

The temperature is just right for Kara, but Lena has always run cold; Kara’s poked fun at her for it once or twice (or for their entire childhood, but who’s keeping track). An unbidden smile, fonder than it has any right to be, inevitably forms. “Well sit down, so you can leech some of my body heat. Besides, you make me tired just looking at you in those heels.”

“Then I’ll be colder,” Lena objects, eyeing the stone of the fountain edge that Kara is currently sitting on. “No way.”

“You’re the most high maintenance fake girlfriend ever,” Kara feigns annoyance. “Here, then. Sit on my lap. And you can put my jacket over your legs.”

It’s hard to exactly tell with the dim lighting of the streetlights, but Lena—blushes? Maybe? And immediately shakes her head. “I’m too heavy.”

“No such thing,” Kara retorts. “I’ll keep stripping if you don’t sit down, Lena. Then your mother will really have a reason to hate me.”

“You are trying to create scandal everywhere you can tonight, aren’t you?” Lena says, but doesn’t move, only crosses her arms and gives Kara an exasperated look. “It would be a hell of a front page.”

“Wow, Lena, if you wanted me naked all you had to do was ask,” Kara says, undoing the first two buttons of her shirt while Lena continues to glare. Then, for fun, she continues up until she hits the top of her bra and Lena’s jaw fully drops in alarm.

“Oh my God, Kara, stop!”

But the ruse works, because as Lena moves forward as if she’s about to button Kara’s shirt back up (or just push her into the fountain), Kara is able to wrap an arm around Lena’s waist and tug her down. Lena yelps in surprise, arms coming up to squeeze around Kara’s neck, and Kara has to hide a grin into the curls that hit her full force in the face.

“Geez, Lena, you’re like an ice cube. Don’t you own a sweater?”

“You asshole,” Lena says, but there is no bite in her voice, only annoyed defeat. “If I get glitter all over you, I’m not going to apologize.”

“I’ll let it slide, this once.” Kara doesn’t mention that there’s nothing in the world that she wouldn’t let Lena get away with. That’s the inevitable truth of being in love with this girl pretty much her whole life—Kara caves first, and she always has. Whether it was what flavor of Gatorade to get from the vending machine, or whether it was who got to sit down in the only remaining chair for a last minute casting call, or whether it was to tag along to Lena’s prom date so the boy wouldn’t try to kiss her, Kara always let Lena call the shots.

Lena exhales; Kara feels the warmth of Lena’s breath against her temple, feels the steady weight of Lena’s body as she shifts on Kara’s lap, feels the rough pattern of Lena’s dress sequins against her fingertips. “You know you’re my best friend, right?” Lena says suddenly.

Those words always make Kara’s heart skip a beat, like they’re right back to being fifteen and nervously holding each other’s sweaty hands while poring over crumpled scripts. “I’d better be,” Kara quips, if only to keep her sappiness at bay, “or I’m returning the BFF necklaces I brought as our first-anniversary gift.”

“I’m serious,” Lena huffs, and her grip around Kara’s neck tightens just a hair. “Will you let me be serious?”

“Okay, okay. One hundred percent seriousness from here on out, I promise.”

For a moment, the only sound is that of cars passing, of the trickle from the water fountain, of the faint music coming from the party. And when Lena speaks at last, it’s quiet. “I know my mom’s not the…easiest person,” she says. “And if pretending to be my girlfriend is going to make you uncomfortable because you have to deal with her, you don’t have to do it.”

“I’ve been dealing with your mother forever, Lena,” Kara says lightly. “She hasn’t been able to scare me off yet, for as much as she’s tried.”

Lena scoffs, but her hand is unmistakably tender as she fiddles with Kara’s shirt collar. “What happened to being serious?”

“I am serious! Do you or do you not remember that time we went to the water park? I swear she cut a hole in my water tube slide. And let’s not even bring up the whole prom incident, because I swear my hip has never been the same since falling out of your window.”

“She didn’t even know that was you.” Lena laughs, and it’s still somewhat hesitant, but just affectionate enough to reflect her feelings about that memory. “That feels like a lifetime ago.”

Kara inhales, shakily, both the sweet scent of Lena’s perfume and some much-needed air. “In a good way or a bad way?”

Lena presses her forehead into Kara’s jaw, her skin still cold enough that it makes Kara sympathetically squeeze her tighter. “Can you just promise to tell me if you don’t feel comfortable?” she asks, and ignores Kara’s question entirely. “Either with my mother, or…just the pretending part with me.”

“I feel plenty comfortable,” Kara tries, but Lena just reiterates,

“Promise me, Kara. I don't want to lose you.”

Something about the urgency in Lena's tone shifts the mood entirely; Kara swallows tightly and nods obligingly. “Okay. I promise. But you have to tell me, too, if anything becomes…I don't know, too much.”

“Fine,” Lena agrees readily.

“No, wait, but listen,” Kara presses. “Being friends is one thing, but dating is another, and—even if it's fake, we're going to have to do couple things. And I don't want it to ruin our friendship.”

“I also don't want to ruin our friendship,” Lena says. “Which is why I brought it up first.”

“Good. Okay. I just wanted to be sure.” Kara awkwardly shifts, all too aware that this might not be the ideal time and place for this conversation. Much less when Lena's still in her lap, clinging to Kara as if afraid to let go. “So on a scale of one to ten, how badly have I messed up the friendship by fighting Mike?”

Lema hums, considering. “That depends on what he said about me.”

“Um, nothing nice,” Kara says haltingly. “I'd rather not repeat it.”

“Then I'll let it slide…this once.” Lena's hands find their way up to Kara's face, fingertips gentle against the bruise on her jaw. “But you are still an idiot.” She thumbs warmly against the apple of Kara's cheek and gazes at Kara from underneath thick mascaraed eyelashes, then whispers, “And you're my favorite.”

“Your favorite idiot?”

“My favorite person.” Suddenly they're seventeen again, and Kara is sitting on Lena's bedroom floor still tugging at her tux because it itches. Suddenly they're seventeen again, and Lena is biting her lip and unable to catch Kara’s eye. Suddenly they’re seventeen again, and Lena is whispering I wanted you to make sure he didn’t kiss me because I want you to be my first kiss.

Kara blinks, mouth opening and closing for a pause, before she has to fall back on a safe feeling—fall right back to humor, so Lena does not comment on the way Kara’s body automatically tenses. “Aw, Lena,” she manages, “that sounded a lot like you like me.”

“I’m just a good actress,” Lena says mock-haughtily, but her eyes are searching as they lock onto Kara’s, expression softening the way no one else ever really sees. To the world she’s always been some cold, aloof superstar, but to Kara she will always be the best friend who wanted her first kiss to be with the person she trusted most in the world.

“Well for the record,” Kara swallows thickly, “you’re my favorite, too.”

There is a split second—a charged, electric second—where Kara swears Lena is going to kiss her. Her eyes are hooded like they’re about to close, and her face sways closer, her hand still resting on Kara’s bruised jaw. But then she sighs, and Kara can feel the distance before she sees it.

“We should go back inside,” Lena says, abruptly stumbling off of Kara's lap. “Sooner or later we'll have to do damage control.”

It takes a beat for Kara to catch up. “Right,” she says, hastening to button up her shirt and follow. “It wouldn't be a Luthor party without damage control.”

“It's the first time you're the cause, though,” Lena throws over her shoulder. “And don't forget your tie!”

“Got it,” Kara calls, undoing her tie entirely and tossing it into the bushes. “Hey, wait up! Come back and hold my hand.”

That makes Lena freeze in place. “What?”

“For—you know, the cameras,” Kara says, shrugging her suit jacket back on. “So we can show a united front.”

Lena gives her an inscrutable look. “You say the weirdest things sometimes,” she says, but she allows Kara to catch up and intertwine their hands together without further complaint.

“How else is everyone supposed to know you're not mad at me?” Kara reminds her. “Or that I'm the best girlfriend you've ever had?”

“I doubt they're going to make that assumption based on hand holding.” But as they climb up the steps to rejoin the gala, the low, golden light illuminates that dimpled smile of Lena's that makes Kara breathless. “What makes you think you're the best, anyway?”

“Just a guess,” Kara says, squeezing Lena's hand as they reach the entrance. “Am I?”

“Let's see if you end tonight without any more fights first,” Lena quips, and while her voice is teasing, her smile grows exponentially tender. “Ready?”

“Ready,” Kara echoes quietly, and allows Lena to lead her right through those double doors knowing that she would follow Lena anywhere.

how would yn react if both us!keigo and us!touya hit up other girls after they found out ab shig and the drugs (=your prev drabble)

oh she’d definitely be unhappy

there’s resentment from all sides of the relationship, which they’re all aware isn’t healthy but they all don’t know any healthy way to react to anything.

warnings: drug use, infidelity, toxic relationships

There’s no such thing as fairness and you learned that a long time ago.

Trying to be equal in everything was sometimes an impossible task and at one point, you just sort of gave up trying to make everything fair and wanting it to be fair. Everyone understood who was favored more at times and when one person got what they wanted more than the other. It’s a silent understanding amongst the three of you.

You’re silent but seething.

Keigo laughs amongst a group of people not too far off while you hang onto Touya’s arm. You have a drink in hand and that’s almost empty, your third of the night. Alcohol swims in your bloodstream and you’re drunk. The party is too loud and you don’t like how you feel.

You don’t like watching Keigo being flirted on by another girl.

He was always flirtatious, your pretty blond haired boyfriend, that was apparent before he became yours. He was more loyal than Touya was, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t push your buttons with how friendly he was to other people. To other girls. To girls you thought were prettier than you. Touya made you insecure from the very beginning that you were used to, but Keigo making you feel insecure was different.

Whether you were naturally a jealous person or having two boyfriends just made you jealous, you weren’t sure.

“Where are you going?” Touya asks when you push yourself off him and start to walk away. All you do is tap your nose and roll your eyes at him, needing more than a drink to settle you and the ugly jealousy that’s making you unsettled. “Get back here right away when you’re done.”

“Fuck you.” You call back over your shoulder as you walk away.

You find an empty bathroom and shut the door behind you, turning the lock to ensure privacy. From your dress pocket, half a gram of coke is pulled out and set onto the bathroom countertop along with an old credit card that expired two years ago and a cut up straw. It’s already crushed and ready to prep but you don’t take it just yet.

Instead you sit on the toilet and let out a little cry.

It’s so embarrassing; you haven’t drunk cried at a house party in so long. You feel like it’s more embarrassing than when people know that you’re throwing your guts up in a toilet. Part of you wants to walk out of this house party but they don’t trust you right now. Vice versa, you don’t trust your boys right now either.

Touya fucked someone else again and Keigo seems to not be too far behind to doing the same thing again. You never fucked Shigaraki though so you don’t see why they’d punish you that way.

Well maybe you do know; cheating is the easiest way to hurt someone.

You betrayed us. Touya’s words ring in your head.

“Fuck you.” you curse them as you sit up and wipe your tears. There’s knocking at the door and you announce that you’ll be out in a minute. You flush the toilet and then run the faucet, using it as a cover up as you quickly prep a line on the countertop. You gum whatever strays are left and put everything back in your pocket. The door bumps and you roll your eyes.

“Alright! I’m fucking out!” You jerk the door open and your whole body freezes in front of you.

“Aw dove, there you are.” Keigo laughs, breezy and light as usual as if he wasn’t just caught making out with the very girl you saw him flirting with. Lipstick on his neck and his hair is all mussed up. “You’re done right?”

“Yeah. All fucking yours.” You push right past him, bumping your shoulder against the other bitch and flipping him off. There’s no point in starting a whole fight. Touya and Keigo get to do whatever they want and you’re supposed to deal with it. This is their payback to you. No amount of crying or pouting is going to garner any sympathy.

You just have to deal with it.

“Hey! Hey!” Keigo calls and grabs your arm before you can walk any further. “You were crying.”

No fucking duh.

You try to shrug off his arm and get as much space away as possible. Touya fucking someone else was one thing, unfortunately something you’re used to; but Keigo doing it was completely different. It hurts you more and makes you more upset than usual. It makes you feel ugly inside and you want to scream into the air. Yeah, you hurt them but why do they always have to hurt you more?

“C’mere baby, you’re upset-“ Keigo coos to you but you’re pushing him off. The drip of the cocaine hits the back of your throat and you feel the chemicals hit your brain. You were sluggish just a moment ago but now you feel a little more awake.

“Stop. I don’t want you touching me.” You tell him firmly, “Don’t fucking touch me. I don’t want you.”

Keigo retreats, his face set in a frown, and he puts his hands up as if admitting defeat. “Fine. I was checking on you, but you don’t want me.”

It feels like a sharp punch to the gut; he always insists that he comfort you even when you’re being difficult. So to have him give up so quickly… hurts. You and him stand together for a tense seconds as if waiting for the other person to make the first move. You stand with wounded pride that’s deteriorating by the second and you feel as if you’re going to go crazy.

“Christ, come here.” Keigo sighs and pulls you by the arm, pushing aside the girl who gasps in indignation. He pulls you into the bathroom with him and locks the door. The girl on the other side pounds on it a few times but seems to leave after getting no response.

He moves to hug you but you’re pushing him off. “Hey, I wasn’t going to. I wasn’t, okay? You know I love you.” He speaks calmly to you and wipes at your tears that start to fall down your cheek. “I wasn’t, I swear. She and I just made out and that-“

“Stop lying to me. I already know you fucked her upstairs.”

Keigo is silent, his lips pursing before he shrugs his shoulders. “So you saw, huh?” He admits without a fight, “Was I obvious?”

“Touya pointed it out when you were gone for a little bit. What else was I supposed to think you were doing? Braiding her hair?” Anger is the first emotion that you allow to be shown because you refuse to let yourself show how hurt you are. You’re failing at it but you still try to keep your pride. “Are the two of you done hurting me?”

You back up as Keigo walks towards you, pinning you to the bathroom sink and placing his hands on either side of you so that you have nowhere to exit. “Only because you hurt us first.”

“I never fucked anyone else though.” You point out, “How is this a fair punishment?”

“You still went behind our backs.” Keigo argues, “But you’re right; this isn’t fair. It’s the only way we knew it would get to you.”

God, you are in love with a sick pair of fucks. Only in their fucked up minds is this a suitable way to get back at you. All of this happening because Touya wouldn’t deal you anything after your huge fight. Of course you being sorry and feeling guilty wasn’t enough for them; they had to hurt you more than you hurt them.

Your pride finally deflates and you start to openly cry. It was exhausting trying to keep yourself propped up but you didn’t have the energy anymore at this point to keep your head up high. All you want is out of this bathroom and out of this party.

“You are so fucking gorgeous.” Keigo whispers as he places his hands on your waist and helps you to sit up on the countertop, “My little baby bird. You feel me, right? I thought of you the entire time. It was the only way for me to stay hard.”

Keigo places your hand over the print of his cock, he’s hard beneath his jeans and he sighs at your touch. His hips rock into your hand and he leans over to kiss you. “No one sucks cock like you. She didn’t do it right, she used her teeth and doesn’t gag on my dick like you do.”

It’s a strange praise that he’s giving you right now. Comparing you to someone else knowing that he did hate the experience but enjoying the pain that it inflicted on you.

“Get off,” you sniffle, “you’re dirty.”

“Yeah, I guess so.” Keigo agrees, “Let’s stop hurting each other. Let’s go home then. We’ll find Touya and we’ll all make up with one another. You’re still ours and we’re still yours. We don’t want to fight. We can get over what happened together.”

He kisses you, muffling any words you have to say because he knows that you’re going to agree. Of course you’re not offered any apologies and you stopped expecting them a long time ago in the same way you stopped expecting fairness in the relationship.

“Take me home.”
