It was early morning when Clarke woke up, firmly wrapped around Lexa. She had been staying in the commander's room a lot lately, and loved waking up next to her every morning. This morning was different than the others. For one, Lexa was shaking as if she was cold, but her skin felt like it was on fire. Clarke reached up to feel the girl's forehead and found she was burning up. This movement caused Lexa to stir, and then open her eyes. Even though they had gone to bed shortly after the sun set, she looked exhausted.
"Are you feeling okay?" Clarke asked.
Lexa just nodded, but was suddenly out of bed and running to the entrance of the tent. She was barely able to stick her head before emptying her stomach onto the grass. Clarke ran after her, bending down and patting the girl's back.
"I'm fine, Clarke." Lexa said, forcing herself to stand up. She stumbled forward, but Clarke quickly grabbed her waist to steady her.
"You're not fine." Clarke argued. "You're sick."
"I don't get sick." The commander replied, but the green tint to her face proved she was lying.
"Let's get you back in bed." Clarke suggested. Lexa made a sound of disapproval, but allowed the blonde to lead her to the bed. Once there Lexa crawled under the blankets.
"I have work to do today." She said.
"Not really." Clarke replied, not willing to give Lexa an excuse to do anything but lay in bed. "There's honestly nothing that needs to be done that Indra or I couldn't take care of."
"But-"
Clarke placed a finger over Lexa's lips to silence her. "You're sick, Lexa. Just stop arguing and rest."
Lexa finally closed her eyes and fell back asleep. Clarke decided to go back to sleep too. She curled into Lexa's side and let her eyes close.
"Clarke, get up!" Lexa shouted after waking up a few hours later.
"No." Clarke groaned. "Go back to sleep. You're sick."
"But I feel so much better."
Clarke rolled away from her. "That's good, but please go to sleep."
Lexa grabbed Clarke and pulled the girl into her. "I hope I don't get you sick." She whispered in Clarke's ear.
The blonde shrugged, still half asleep. "If it means me getting to sleep all day then please do."
Lexa laughed, but closed her eyes and fell back asleep with Clarke.
