Who will win Clarke's heart?
It's been six weeks since the war ended. The grounders and sky people had overtaken the mountain men and freed their respective people. They worked together as a team. Clarke and Lexa had not talked about their kiss since it happened, they just concentrated on getting through the war. Now that the war is over these two leaders have a meeting coming up where they shall decide the terms and conditions of how their people would live. This historic meeting would be the first time in which Clarke and Lexa saw each other since the war ended.
Morning of the meeting
The meeting was being held at Ton DC and Lexa was extremely nervous, not because of the meeting, but because she feared how Clarke would react around her. She had not felt such strong passionate feelings for anyone besides Costia, at least not until Clarke came along. Clarke was someone Lexa could relate to for she too lost someone she loved and was forced to lead her people.
Lexa and Clarke were chosen to be representatives of their respective people; therefore, they were the only ones who would be present in this, soon-to-be, legendary meeting. Lexa was deep in thought on how she would approach Clarke, but suddenly her guard called that Clarke of the sky people was here.
Clarke walked into the main tent where the meeting was taking place and her eyes met Lexa. Lexa was in awe. She could not believe Clarke's beauty, it's as if she got more beautiful and radiant every time she looked at her. Lexa stood from her throne and greeted Clarke with a formal welcome and a "please sit". Clarke sat on the chair opposite to where Lexa was.
Clarke: "I know that this meeting is about planning out how our people are to live from now on, but I just want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for trusting me and fighting alongside with me to get our people back."
Lexa: "You're welcome Clarke, but this was a team effort. I could not have led my people to such a victorious fight if it were not for you."
Clarke (smiling): "ok now that I've said my thanks, let's talk business."
The meeting finished in approximately one hour and thirty minutes. Both leaders had agreed to stay in their corresponding sites and if their people wanted to visit or migrate to one another's camps they would be allowed to do so, but would have to comply with the rules presented to them on either side.
Clarke stood up and approached Lexa. Lexa stood as Clarke neared.
Clarke: "Thank you once again for meeting with me and may we live in peace from now on. However, there is one more thing we should talk about… You kissed me.
Lexa: "I did. It was a perfect, at least I thought so.. Did you enjoy it?" Lexa asked hesitantly.
Clarke blushed: "Yes, you are a great kisser. I did not expect it."
Lexa: "I have acquired feelings for you in the short amount of time that I have been with you. You're bravery, courage, stubbornness, and relentless love for your people has captured my attention. You are a great leader and are not weak as I had previously thought. You have taught me that love is not weakness and because of that I am prepared to open up myself to the possibility of that."
Clarke was astounded by Lexa's words. The once cold-hearted girl was now opening up her heart to Clarke.
Clarke: "Lexa… I like you. I like you a lot (Lexa looked hopeful), but I need a little bit of time to figure out what I want."
Lexa nodded.
Lexa: "I understand. I'll be around whenever you're ready."
Clarke gave Lexa a small smile.
Clarke: "Thank you for being so understanding."
Clarke walked out of the tent and let out a breath she did not know she was holding. The truth was that she was torn between her feelings for Lexa and for Bellamy. She knew she had to make a choice soon.
