The Tumblr AU that nobody resquested about Clexa.
Note that english is not my native language. Looking forward to kind feedback that will help me improve as a writer. I own nothing.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Friday evening, start of the weekend. And here at the Wood's household everything remains fairly quiet. True, Lincoln and Anya are walking around rooms, trying to convince Lexa of doing something different than the usual.
- You sure, you don't want to attend the concert? The band are pretty good. I cover your ticket. - said Lincoln.
- I already said it. Thanks, but I'm not interested. Have fun with your girlfriend. - said Lexa a bit drily, making Lincoln slightly blush.
- Oh c'mon, don't pretend now. We know you are secretely dating. The fact that we hadn't openly talked about it doesn't mean we are clueless about the way you talk about her. - said Anya. - Plus, you are narrowing our chances there, brother. Am I wrong? Won't you fancy come to the new pub with me Lex? - said Anya with a smile.
- You too? Has Indra put you through this? I said, again, as every weekend. I'm not interested in going out, thanks. I keep myself busy on week days. Is not like I don't go out at all. I collaborate with the community center, I organize team sports with kids, I help with the counseling at high school. I like to be helpful that way. It makes me happy. Can't you all understand and respect that? - said Lexa a bit annoyed.
- She didn't. Although, you know she and Gustus are worried. They care for you. You know they honestly do. - said Lincoln carefully resting his palm on her shoulder.
- I know, you all mean well, but I don't need that much caring. Really. I'm fine. Sure, Costia left me to study abroad and decided we break up. True, other than you two, she was the only person I trusted about you know, what happened. But I'm fine. Thanks for caring, but don't suffocate me with that. - said Lexa.
- Ok, but promise me you won't pull an all-nighter shitposting on tumblr, like you tend to do during weekends. - said Anya, Lexa tried to speak but Lincoln was faster.
- We know, you have friends there that help you somehow, you don't need to explain further, and the most important, you help them back, but really, going out once in a while and not just to help to the community center would be nice. - said Lincoln.
- I know you two also have one. I know yours, both of yours. There are stuff there that would get your both grounded for a month. - said Lexa pointing at them with her index finger.
- The stuff of mine is just art related. Crafts and so on, you know. - said Lincoln.
- Mine is culture, I'm always curious about that. I have a degree in antrophology and sociology, you know. - defended Anya.
- Sure, both include N – U – D – E – S. - Lexa spelled pointing at them.
- What's wrong with that? Like you haven't liked those. What's to say we hadn't posted those for you, you know, to cheer you up a little bit. You've been single for a whole year. - said Anya.
- Wow, now you blame it on me guys? Sorry to spoil your plans, but I don't work that way. You both know that, it took me a lot to ask Costia out. - said Lexa.
- Yes we know. And that's why we are trying to help. - said Anya.
- I don't remember asking such in that direction. Now both of you go, leave me alone, enjoy yourselves. Don't drink too much. - said Lexa offering both them a hug.
As per request, Lincoln and Anya leave. They meet Indra and Gustus in the living room. Indra glances at Anya silently waiting for an answer.
- Sorry I talked her, same did Lincoln. You know she can be pretty stubborn. said Anya with a shy smile.
- Is not like she never goes out. She helps with the community during week days. She bonds with the kids, specially that one, Aden. We could value that for once. - said Lincoln trying to defend his favourite cousin.
- We value that, we do. Don't you think I do? My brother was just like that. But still, you both go out, she is young too and instead always stays in, specially since, you know. - said Gustus.
- Well, what can we do? She's an introvert. Best we understand and accept that. - said Lincoln always ready to defend Lexa.
-Have fun you two, not too much. And be responsible. - said Indra.
Both Lincoln and Anya finally leave the home and Gustus silently offers Indra to lay her head on his shoulder, knowing she is also honestly worried about Lexa.
- You know she is wise and strong. She'll go out when she feels the need. I know it's been a whole year like that, but see, Lincoln is right. She bonds and honestly care for the kids. I know, she should be bonding with people here age. I think she honestly bonded with Aden in particular for what happened to his father. I think Lexa sees a reflection of herself in that kid. - said Gustus trying to calm Indra's worries.
- May be you are right Gustus. I just wish I could help her. I guess, since none of them are my kids, I worry they don't feel I care enough. - admitted Indra.
- Hey, you know they care for you as much as you care for them. Sure you are not their mother, but they accepted you since they knew we were seeing each other, yes Anya teased a bit but she was happy to know that you made me happy. - said Gustus.
Back in Lexa's room, as her cousins predicted she was logged in on tumblr. Her main posting was about sci-fi, she was a Firefly fan, in fact in her view most post-apocalyptic shows after that one were a copy of that one, like for instance Revolution.
She also liked music, rock, metal, and styles that many times made people confused to think she was a he. She still doesn't get why tho.
And also about literature, her main reason to join was that. She heard that some YA authors were registered on that media so she decided to give it a try. And a few years later here she was spending her weekends liking, reblogging and blogging posts. True, she said few about her private life, showed few selfies but reblogged weekly ask memes, but hardly got a reply at all. Sometimes some anons showed up and mysteriosly a bunch of likes from girls she was not sure of their intentions.
Like that Raven. Sure she mostly liked her sci-fi related posts. Lexa has checked her blog and decided to be mutuals, but they hardly ever talked. Things changed when Carmilla aired, so they would comment theories together but their relationship didn't evolve further than that. Lexa was a quiet fangirl, all logic even when fangirling, so she didn't let be driven by passion as other fans seemed to do. Also Lexa was very private and didn't give her other media Ids that quickly. There was also that Finn which shared her like in music, Wells which shared the likes in Literature and last but not least Monty, her most appreciated one, also all logic and who opened her view in many ways, of which she was thankful for.
Lexa sometimes wondered about the slight chance that may be they all knew each other in person and none of them were aware of. But honestly, she had seen some selfies of them and had no clue.
May be that's because she studied in a different city. True, when her parents passed away, Gustus, her uncle took care of her and brought her here, but she wanted to stay in her old school, so honestly she hardly know the local teens. She only bonded with Costia, but now she was gone. She might be back, but her departure to study abroud left Lexa heartbroken. It takes Lexa a lot to open and trust someone as she did with Costia, even before the loss of her parents, she's always been quiet and introverted. Thankfully she decided to help the community before, and for some reason she bondeded with Aden since he turned to be a regular every week afternoon this past year.
Somehow that night while Lexa was having a tea cup, she noticied something curious, both her mutuals used to reblog a same user. Lexa decided to check on the blog. A blonde, blue eyed girl. A bit younger than her. She was studying abroad. No chance she'll ever meet her. Lexa sighed and continued blogging.
