A/N- Hey guys. Thought I'd give you a little Lena/Kara fic with a Christmas theme. It's gushy and sweet but hopefully you'll like it anyway.

I own nothing, all rights go to their respective owners

SNOWED IN

ONE

When Lena had suggested to Kara that they go away for the holidays, she knew that it was a gamble.

Lena didn't exactly mean to go away so that they were away for Christmas day, they would be back by then but maybe for the weekend before Christmas day, and Lena had made that clear. It seemed to please Kara that she would home for Christmas day to spend it with her sister and Lena understood that completely.

Kara would be with her family and she would be...alone.

Lena pushed that thought from her mind as she continued packing.

This would be good. For the both of them. They would watch cheesy Christmas movies, drink hot chocolate, maybe play a few card games and curl up on the couch together under a blanket. Then maybe, when it felt right, Lena would tell Kara how she felt and then Kara would tell Lena that she felt the same but had been too shy to tell the Luthor that and they would end up together in some wonderful and loving relationship and-

Lena zipped up her case. Oh who was she kidding? It's never going to happen.

Face it Lena, she is a straight as the day is long and it doesn't matter how much you think you have been hinting, you are in the closet. No, scratch that, you are the queen of closet people! You rule over a tiny closet village and everyone else who is hiding will probably come out long before you do!

Lena opened up another case, preparing to pack more when her phone started ringing.

She smiled warmly when she looked down and saw the caller ID and of course, it made her answer straight away.

"Hey you." Lena said, smiling as she cradled the phone between her shoulder and her ear.

"Hey, So are you ready yet?" Kara asked excitedly.

"Nearly. I have one more case to pack." Lena replied as she sorted through some more clothes.

"You're still packing?! I'm done!" Kara exclaimed.

Lena suddenly stopped packing and frowned.

"What? Well...how many suitcases are you taking?"

"Just the one. It's only for a weekend Lena. Are you seriously packing your whole wardrobe?" Kara asked with a chuckle.

"Uh...no, no of course not-" She muttered as she started throwing clothes out of the second case and letting them splay across her bed and fall onto the floor.

"Yes you are." Kara said knowingly.

"Well not anymore I'm not." Lena mumbled as she grabbed the now-empty suitcase off her bed and pushed it back into the closet. (Ah, there's that closet again).

"Well hurry up or we'll miss the train."

God she sounded like a child, Lena thought but it was thought of in an affectionate way, obviously.

"Alright. I'll meet you at yours' in half an hour."

"Ok, Great! I'll see you soon."

Lena smiled and hung up then grabbed the one suitcase, her coat and headed out the door.

Lena was glad that Kara was as excited for this as she was, maybe not for the same reasons but still...she'd take what she could get.

...

The train ride was a little uncomfortable. Kara, obviously didn't seem to mind as she sat opposite Lena and gave her a bright smile.

"So have you had this cabin long?"

Lena looked down at her hands which were curled up in her lap, nerves trying to get the better of her.

"Um no, it's actually...It's a recent purchase."

"Oh. You just decided that you wanted a cabin the woods?"

Lena rolled her eyes but smiled just the same.

"I wanted somewhere I could go without being bothered by the press. The location seemed good as any." She said with a slight shrug.

Kara nodded.

"So where is it?"

Lena glanced out the window, watching the city rushing by.

"It's sat on a hill of sorts, it's always surrounded by snow, you would think you were in the alps. It's cold and even when the sun is shining it's still cold but Kara, it's beautiful. The scenery is amazing." Lena explained, a dreamy tone to her voice.

Kara smiled.

"Well I can't wait to see it."

Lena looked up and found Kara looking out of the window so Lena allowed herself a moment to look loving at the blonde girl.

"I can't wait for you to see it either."

Kara looked back and smiled but Lena was now looking like she was looking forward to a weekend with her best friend and not someone she was harboring deep feelings for.

Luthors were notorious for their acting skills, it was probably how Lilian stayed inconspicuous as the leader of Cadmus for all those months.

Soon they left the city and the countryside opened up. Fields of green sat on either side and trees grew tall and surrounded the forests, almost like they were protecting something inside. It was still light and streaks of cloud pierced the baby blue sky.

"I wonder what people at Catco will say." Kara said with a little grin.

Lena had been thinking about something else but now she looked up, green eyes slightly wide.

"About what?"

"About this. You and me going away for the weekend?"

Lena's heart started thudding in her chest.

"W-what do you mean?"

"Well it looks obvious doesn't it?"

Lena licked her lips, her mouth suddenly dry.

"D-d-does it?"

Kara lent forward and did a stage whisper, cupping her hand around her mouth for effect.

"It looks like favoritism."

Lena gave her a blank look, her mind still going into panic mode.

"Because we're best friends." Kara explained.

Lena let out a breath and instantly relaxed even though her heart had yet to calm down.

"Oh...yeah, I suppose it does. Well, screw em, you work hard, you deserve it."

Kara chuckled.

"So how are you and James getting along?"

"Uh-yeah- fine." Lena replied awkwardly as she reached into her bag to retrieve her water bottle.

Lena took a long drink but held the bottle in her lap, she had a feeling she might need it again.

When she looked up, Kara was grinning at her.

"What?" Lena asked, her eyes darting back and forth.

"I think that maybe you and James...could work very well together."

Lena blinked.

"Me and...? Oh God no! Kara, no. Not James! We just work together!"

Kara laughed.

"I see the way he looks at you and that office banter you two have with each other."

"It's not banter, it's more than likely him not agreeing with my takeover and me not caring."

Kara didn't believe her.

"No I think there's something else."

Kara reached out and touched Lena's hand which still held on tightly to the water bottle in her lap.

"Lena, James is a great guy, if you like him then-"

"Kara, I assure you I don't." Lena said, cutting her off.

"But what if you gave him a chance? I think you'd really like him. As I said, he's a great guy."

"Kara, James is a great guy but he's just not my type."

Kara blinked, slightly annoyed that her friend was just passing James off without even thinking about it.

"Then what is your type? Men who can be controlled by evil women intent on making money no matter what the cost?"

That was a low blow and Kara shut her eyes and bit her lip as Lena looked down, understandably taking the words hard.

"Lena, I'm sorry...I just-I want to see you happy."

"I am happy." Lena said but her voice told the blonde she was anything but, right now.

"Are you? Because when I was with Mon-El, that was the happiest I'd ever been, I just want that for you."

Lena suddenly stood.

"I have to go to the bathroom. Excuse me."

Kara sighed as Lena walked away from her.

This wasn't how she'd planned this. Her and Kara wasn't meant to fight or argue or whatever. They wasn't supposed to concentrate on anyone but just the two of them. They were supposed to be having fun; laughing and talking about things that made them happy, not get into their issues and make everything dark and uncomfortable.

Lena sighed as she went into the on board bathroom and shut the door, turning around and leaning back against it, holding the water bottle to her chest.

What Kara had said, that had hurt, there was no getting away from that but if she couldn't get over it, then this weekend would become unpleasant, she had to get it back somehow.

It shouldn't be too hard, her feelings for Kara should override any anger she had towards her and as Lena thought of all of Kara's cute little ways and her caring nature, she felt that anger slowly disappearing.

They would have a good time, Lena would make sure of it.
