Lena: So. What’s taking you to Milan?
Kara: Oh no…
Lena: During your “big work thing”.
Kara: Okay. This isn’t what it looks like.
Lena: God, can’t you be any more original than that?
Kara: Not really no. Because, it looks like I’m having an affair, doesn’t it?
Lena: Yes it FUCKING does.
Kara: Yeah. And I’m not. What I’m doing is… I’m saving the world from an alien invasion.
Lena: You’re-what? No you’re not.
Kara: Yeah, I am… and I’m really sorry.
Lena: What? I mean y-y-y-you’re not. But why are you?
Kara: Because… and again, I am so sorry. That’s my job.
Lena: It’s not. You’re a Personal Assistant.
Kara: No. I’m a Superhero. Quite- quite a famous Superhero.
Lena: So that Superhero we see on the news that looks and sounds exactly like you…
Kara: Supergirl? Yeah that’s me. I wear glasses so no one can tell.
Lena: But why would you hide this from me???
Kara: Because when we first met, you, very charmingly, explained to me how Kryptonian powers work.
Lena: Did I?
Kara: Yes you did. It was basically the first conversation we ever had, and then immediately afterwards, like straight away you asked me what I did for a living. And I thought well if I say Kryptonian Superhero you’ll feel really stupid, so I said Personal Assistant.
Lena: Why Personal Assistant?
Kara: Because I thought it was so boring you wouldn’t ask me any other questions. You did though. You were very sweet and you asked loads of questions. Which I answered. Making it hard to go back from it on a second date… And then the relationship continued, and I don’t know, at a certain point I just realised it’s now impossible ever to tell you.
Lena: A certain point? What, like our wedding day?!
Kara: No, way before that.
Lena: So what did you think was going to happen in the end?
Kara: I suppose I thought something exactly like this was going to happen in the end…
Lena: Is this all really true?
Kara: Yeah. And I mean… I can prove it quite easily.
Lena: So… you’re not having an affair?
Kara: No, I swear I have never, EVER cheated on you.
Lena: But you have lied to me. Since the day we met. About what you do, what you care about, basically who you are.
Kara: Yeah… Yeah. That’s worse isn’t it?
Lena: …. No it’s way better. Just don’t ever do it again, okay?
Kara: It’s hard to see how I could.

dazai & any ada member + "have you eaten today?"
Hi Grace<3
"Have you eaten today?"
Kunikida doesn't even look up from his screen. "Mmm, sure."
Dazai narrows their eyes and lets their cane fall to the fall with a clack. Other members of the office look over startled, but Dazai continues to look at Kunikida. "I was thinking about going for a long walk."
"Mmm, sure."
"Without my cane."
"Sounds great."
Kunikida's eyes move across his computer screen, his fingers typing away at the keys, and the only notes of frustration are when the shaking causes multiple types in a row. Dazai even waves their hand in front of his face and Kunikida still doesn't break focus.
There's only one solution and Dazai groans before enacting it. The first step is to send a text message that has a 60% chance of going ignored. The second step is to drag themself over, which is hard enough on a normal day, but not only has Dazai discarded their cane, the pain running through their entire body is screaming.
But still, Dazai does so, wondering when they became someone willing to suffer for the sake of others. Drapping themself over Kunikida, Dazai does not lower their voice when the announce, directly in his ear, "I wonder what the slug is bringing me today."
Kunikida's hands twitch over the keys. "Slug?"
Dazai grins, bringing their lips closer to Kunikida's ear. "Nakahara The Slug Chuuya."
Scowling, Kunikida finally pushes Dazai's face and looks at them. There's a hint of pink on his cheeks, a faint dusting that occurs in very particular situations. Dazai grins. "I asked him to bring some for you, too."
"Why?"
"'Cause you were ignoring me! It was very rude."
"What the hell does that have to do with food?"
"You can ignore me, but you're putty in Chuuya's hands."
