Guyssss I literally could not resist when I thought of Clarke doing something like this to show how much she loves Lexa…so I just had to…Your poor hearts. I love you all. I'm going down with this obsession I swear to god. P.S. I left my computer at home at I'm at work so that's why I didn't have an update for my other Clexa Story xp I'll update it when I get home today :)
It was the end of the long war with the mountain men. Clarke took the initiative and ended their lives at a cost she valued greater than her own life but she knew they would never stop if she didn't. She ended up having Jasper save Maya with the use of the Bone Marrow they had already extracted from the members that died. Jasper was forever grateful. Her alliance with Lexa had lasted even when Emmerson contacted Lexa with the deal; she cleanly sliced his head off without a second thought. Offended at what they were saying knowing that Clarke would end this without any of her people dying. She knew Clarke was her other half and wouldn't fail her and she was right.
When Clarke came out of the mountain she smiled weakly at me before giving me thumbs up signaling she did what she needed to do. My people filtered out of the mountain with the door wide open and I couldn't help the tears that welled up in my eye's knowing it was finally over. I cleared my throat and turned away and looked at the ground in wonder. I couldn't have completed this without the one they call the Sky Princess. I looked back up and Indra came to me actually smiling. I was shocked. She pointed to one of the reapers that was tied up and I realized it was her husband and next to him her son. I was so happy for her I actually smiled. We grabbed each other's wrists before she went to them and waited for when they would be sent back to Camp Jaha so that they could be rehabilitated.
I was proud of everyone that had fought today. Everyone was in high spirits as the Skaikru and Trikru mixed as one and were smiling and giving each other high-fives. I was impressed at their involvement with one another. I looked on in contentment and then I felt a hand slip into mine and there was Clarke. Her eyes were heavy with the responsibility she had to accomplish but I took her hand in mine and squeezed to give her strength.
"You have done well Skai Prisa." I said softly.
Clarke gave me a heartwarming smile as she moved closer to my side.
"And you Commander." She said just as soft.
She leaned into me just barely enough for anyone to notice but I noticed.
I leaned on her as well as I saw her smile widen as I gave a small smile as well.
"So what's next…" she thought out loud.
I leaned my cheek on her head and looked out to observe our people.
"Peace." I said.
I felt her hand squeeze mine tighter and I squeezed right back.
"We will finally have Peace." I said.
One Month Later
I sat bored on my throne as the Generals talked to me about the upcoming winter. Well, okay more like screamed at each other until they agreed to provide each other with the essentials for this upcoming frost. It was always like this, this time of year. The air hasn't chilled yet but I knew it would be coming, along with my birthday. I sighed about that day. It's been awhile since I've had anyone remember it. Indra has been kind enough though to leave things for me in secret even though we both know it was her. She's the only one that knows when my actually birth day was since she was there the day it happened. I drummed my fingers and then put up my hand cutting off one of the generals in mid-sentence.
"I believe it is time to take a quick session so that we may begin to wind down from this heated discussion. Let us come back tomorrow with fresh minds so we may agree about what we will need from everyone this winter." That was my dismissal to them as they left. I sighed again rubbing my eyes.
"Indra." I said sharply. She walked in and stared at me.
"Where is Clarke…I have not seen or heard of her presence since the celebration feast after the fall of the mountain men." I said quiet annoyed. "She was supposed to be here for this meeting."
Indra coolly stared at me and then in burst Clarke, red faced and disheveled. She was huffing with exertion and then she looked up at both of us and froze.
"Shit…I'm so sorry…did I miss the meeting?" she said sheepishly.
I glared at her and Indra had a knowing and amused look on her face.
"Clarke of the sky people…what is the meaning of this." I said coldly. She flinched at me using her actual title.
Clarke straightened up and then bowed respectfully.
"I am sorry for my lateness…something came up with Camp Jaha that I had to take care of and I did not realize how late it had gotten."
My eye's softened and the grip I had on my chair eased. "I see." I said firmly. I looked up at Indra. "Leave us…I have many words to speak with Clarke."
Indra walked out and Clarke was fiddling with her sleeves.
I stared her down more and she put her hands behind her back. I stood up and walked down the steps from my throne.
"What has you so ill at ease Clarke?" I ask softly.
I saw her gulp and then look at me worriedly.
"N-nothing Lexa…I was just…I mean…" she stopped talking as I walked up to her.
"Are you well?" I asked as I brushed a sweaty piece of her hair behind her ear. Her face was giving off tons of heat.
"Y-yes."
I looked at her quizzically and then she took a step away from me. I think she saw the look of hurt that flashed from my eye's because she instantly grabbed my hand and held it in her flushed ones.
"I'm so sorry Lexa. When I realized what time it was I rushed here as fast as I could. I guess I kind of ran all the way here…that's why I'm like this." She gave me a reassuring smile.
I smiled back. "Clarke…I have not seen you since a full moon's cycle has passed…all is well at your village now?" I asked quietly.
She nodded and smiled really big.
"I'm sorry I've been gone so long Lexa. It's just been hectic. Leader's duties and all…I've missed you though."
My smile grew as I looked at her face trying to find if what she says is truth. "And I you." I said very quietly too afraid to say it louder in case someone heard.
She grinned and wrapped me in a hug and I leaned into her as I laid my cheek on her hair and hugged her back as well.
"It is good to see you. I am almost glad you did not arrive earlier or we would not be able to talk like this."
I felt Clarke laugh and hug me tighter. She finally let go and held me at arm's length to get a good look at me. We held each other's forearms.
"So…what have I missed?" She said cheekily. My lips curved into yet another smile and I motioned her towards the table where all the information of the meeting took place.
"There is much for you to learn about our ways Clarke. Let us begin."
One Month Earlier…The Day of the Celebration
"Oh my God! Clarke!" Octavia screamed as she tackled me from my spot at the fire. There were multiple all around as in the forest from Camp Jaha where we were to all the way at Ton DC. We were in celebration of our victory of the mountain men. I was slammed into the ground and groaned.
"What is it O…" she got up quickly.
"You'll never believe what Indra said…okay well I overheard her saying to another grounder…."
I looked at her and she seemed kind of drunk. "What is it O…"
Octavia couldn't contain herself as she looked at Clarke in a very dirty way.
"Okay why are you giving me that look?" I was almost afraid.
"I know how you can get Lexa to finally open up to you and so you guys can make loovvvveeee." She sing-songed and I blushed extremely red as I covered her mouth. "Shut up O! You're going to get me in so much trouble…"
I looked around and realized either people have passed out from drinking too much or they were too busy being intoxicated to understand us. I sighed.
"O…how much have you been drinking…" She rolled her eyes. "Not as much as I wanted to. Bellamy has been my drinking limiter for tonight so I'm pretty sober…but that's not the point! Point is…I overheard Indra saying how the Commanders birthday is the beginning of not this next month but the month after that which if my calculations are correct is on November 1st!"
My eyes widen. She nodded and she smirked. "We were born the same day?" She nodded again. "I also found out she's the same age as you so this'll be her 18th birthday too." My jaw dropped at the news. "You mean to tell me she's been Commander since she was 11 years old?
Octavia nodded. "Pretty much so basically she hasn't really had a child hood and okay not really a teenage hood either but come on…" she looked at Clarke expectedly. "We have to do something completely amazing for both of your birthdays. Please Clark Please please please please!?"
Clarke was contemplating it all. "O…how many of our people can dance…from the 100…" Octavia's eyes brightened.
"I can do inventory on all the dancers." I nodded and she grinned wider.
"O…I want Raven, Monty, Jasper, Bellamy and you in my chambers tonight. We'll send word to the other kid's as well." Clark stopped in her tracks as she was about to head to her tent. "Also…Grab Maya…I need to know what instruments are in that mountain and what type of equipment we can possibly use for this."
Octavia grinned as she looked at Clark. "You're thinking along the same lines as I am aren't you?"
I grinned as well.
"We have a month and a week to complete the preparations and have everyone ready for this. It's going to be one hell of a party. And once we have the plan set in motion I need you to get me an audience with Indra…she's the key to getting Lexa to join the party…as well as the rest of the grounders if they want to join as well.
A couple weeks later
"Guys…" I stopped the music as I stared at everyone in the dance class at the moment. "You all suck…." Octavia burst out laughing and I sighed. We had been working for 2 weeks to try to get these dances down and so far we got 4 out of the 7 down. I groaned. I have been practicing on my own and me and Octavia came up with the dances in the first place so we knew what we're doing.
"O…take over…I'm going to go check on Raven and Monty for the stage."
She saluted. "Roger that…oh and Clarke?" I look at her. "Indra says she can see you today if you want. I already sort of explained everything, she's in. She just wants to go over with you what you want her to do about the Commander and showing up. She wants to repay that debt seeing as how you saved her husband and son. She's a lot happier now." I grinned and nodded before walking over to see how the stage was coming along.
I could hear Raven yelling at Monty as they continued to set up the lights onto the stage. They found in the mountain. I couldn't believe it…but they saved a damn stage from the old days. I grinned when Raven threw a wrench at him. Monty squealed and cowered from her wrath.
"Hey guy's how's it coming along?"
Raven poked her head out from under the stage and grinned.
"Perfect Clarke. I should have it ready by the end of the week so that we can practice on it."
I smiled back.
"Awesome."
Monty poked his head out from above a set of lights he was attaching.
"Yeah me and Jasper have your light affects covered Clarke it should make your Commander swoon the last couple songs." He wiggled his eyebrows and I laughed feeling a blush coming on.
"Yeah whatever Monty I just want this perfect."
He gave me a thumbs up as he continued to work.
I moved along to the inside of the Ark watching everyone bustling. They all wanted to be a part of the huge celebration and there were some grounders mixed in as well. None of them wanted anything to do with the stage stuff but they would help by hunting what we needed for the preparations of the food as well as helped move the instruments down from the mountain.
I had to smile at how well Indra hid all this from Lexa. Octavia did say she was busy though with winter preparations so it wasn't too hard. I heard cussing from inside and found the band preparing for the big day. I grinned as I watched Jasper and Maya having them all practice the songs. I wanted it to be perfectly natural well as natural as it could be the beats and things we couldn't play on the regular instruments would be blasted from the speakers around the camp.
Raven and Monty were going to be our stage crew as well as most of the technical group and they were also going to be our DJ's for the rest of the night with all the song we found on an IPod. There were thousands of songs on that thing. Whoever owned it sure had diverse taste. I sighed in satisfaction. This day was going to be perfect.
I grinned and went exploring to see if I could find that one spot I wanted for our birthday night.
When I came back Indra was waiting for me and I smiled kindly at her as she watched everything bustling around.
I motioned for her to come into the tent I had for her and she walked in after I sat down.
"Hello Clarke of the Sky People."
"Hello Indra." I smiled at her and the corner of her mouth went up as she crossed her arms.
"It is amazing at how well you have everyone working together even though they are two different people."
I nodded smiling.
"Yes well…they are celebrating the birth of two people they care for so I assure you it isn't just me they are working hard for."
She nodded in Affirmation.
"Now…about getting Lexa here…"
I nodded. "I'm way ahead of you on that." I said smirking .
Indra looked at me quizzically.
I smiled. "This should be fun Indra…spread it to the rest of the grounders of their Heda's party. They should show up promptly at sun down. I want this perfect."
I then motioned her to follow me to show her exactly what I wanted her to do before Lexa woke up that day.
A Week Before Showtime
"ALL RIGHT GUYS THAT WAS PERFECT." I yelled over everyone on stage as well as everyone spectating the before show. I huffed as I ran my hand through my hair and handed Monty the Mic I had. Octavia squealed as she wrapped her arms around me. "She's going to be weak for you yet Clarke Griffin." Octavia said and I grinned. I walked off stage and looked at the time. "SHIT!" I said. Octavia looked at me weird. "Is that the time?" I asked in shocked. "Lexa's going to kill me!" Without another word I rushed off towards Ton DC running for my life most likely.
Present Day
Lexa ran through everything I missed which I was happy about and then we sat together to eat dinner. We laughed about a few things as we told each other what we had missed while being away.
"I can't believe winter is almost here." I said smiling at Lexa.
Lexa, stoic as ever nodded as a curve to her lips was present.
"Yes. Winter is the hardest time for our people. But we have been stocking up and should be okay. It hasn't been difficult now that the 12 clans are working together."
I nodded and put my chin in my hands.
"So what does the Commander do during the winter since there is a lot of down time?" I asked smirking.
Lexa eyed me. "I usually plan for the spring to come."
I rolled my eyes.
"Is that all you do?"
Lexa couldn't help be amused as she stared at me.
"No…there are actually things I enjoy doing." She said smugly.
"And those are?" I tried not to sound like I wanted to know this information but my curiosity has been peeked.
Lexa's smile grew as she got up from the table.
"You will have to find out come winter." She said. She walked out of the tent and I was at a loss for words.
"Oh…it was on…" I smiled devilishly. "One week Lexa…"
One Week Later
I groaned as I woke up to a chill being in the air. Of course it would be cold on my birthday. I sighed and got up from the bed. I looked over at the table in my room and couldn't help but smile to see Indra's gift waiting. But wait a second…there was another? I moved towards the table and there sat a note with my name on it. I grabbed it and opened it.
Dear Commander,
I would like to say Happy Birthday and as such Indra has something for you when the time is right. I hope to see you tonight.
C.
I couldn't help the smile from crossing my face with such veracity. How was it possible Clarke found out it was my birthday I wondered lightly. I couldn't believe she got the information from Indra so easily. I went over to see what Indra's gift was and it was a new holder for my dagger. I smiled a little since the one that it originally was in had been destroyed.
I got dressed quickly and went outside to meet the day. Everything seemed to be just like normal but I felt that my heart was lighter this time on my birthday. I went and did my daily duties and when it was about dusk Indra showed up to my tent. I looked up from my paperwork and she held a box. A beautiful box at that I almost gasped at how beautiful it was.
"Is that from Clarke?" as I got up swiftly and went to her. I saw Indra's smile at my excitement.
"Yes. She had specific instructions." Indra handed me yet another letter and I opened it quickly.
"Dear Lexa,
I thought of you when I saw this going through the mountain. I would like to invite you to Camp Jaha tonight if you would do me the honor of your presence on my birthday as well. I found it hard to believe that we had the same birthday but I suppose its fate. Show up with my gift to you and leave the war paint at home. I look forward to seeing you.
Sincerely,
Clarke
I couldn't help but smile at the war paint dig and then took the box from Indra I set it on the table and opened the top and felt my heart jump to my throat as did my hand to my chest. Inside was a dress. I pulled it out and it was black with a black belt attached to it. It had black lace designed across the chest and mid-section and on the bottom was blood red train stitched perfectly to the bottom like it was added. It was light as well as easy to move in if the occasion called for it. It was perfect.
I looked up at Indra and she was smiling affectionately at me.
"It's about time you had some fun Heda" she said quietly.
I nodded unable to speak as she left so I could put it on.
It fit perfectly and I couldn't believe it. I attached my red commander shoulder guard and cape to it and it fit the red on the bottom. I put the dagger on my belt as well.
Indra came in and handed me another leader Shoulder guard. This time it was a dark blue like the night sky. I looked at her questionably.
"I had this made for Clarke for her birthday. I've seen what she's going to be wearing tonight."
I was shocked. "You mean you know what's going to be going on tonight? You…were in on the surprise." I said in wonder.
"I owed the Skai Prisa a debt." She said silently. She spoke no more about the details of the party and I didn't ask.
She turned me around and braided my hair and I couldn't stop the tearing up.
"This is all…so…." I couldn't finish my words.
"Do not fear to seem weak tonight Heda…we will not judge you for we all are weak for someone."
I couldn't help the tremble of my hands as I turned around when she was finished. I stared at Indra and Indra gripped my forearm.
"You are strong Heda. It is time to go." She said quietly. I nodded and put my stoic mask on and walked out of my tent. There was a horse waiting for me and I easily got on it.
I looked around and realized no one was in the village except the people that were escorting me to Camp Jaha.
I looked at Indra and she looked forward as we road to the Camp. I was completely awed by what Clarke was accomplishing, if my people not being here was any indication. When we got closer I began to hear the thumbing of drums. It was music. Indra handed me the box that she had put the Blue sash in and nodded me forward to the front.
My mouth fell open as we soon got away from the tree's to finally see Camp Jaha. Lit up with torches and lights, the music was beating to a rhythm I felt into my bones as we dismounted at the entrance. Bellamy was there smiling at me as he motioned me forward. My mouth practically fell open again when I saw that the whole of Ton DC and Camp Jaha were mingling and crowding around a huge stage laughing and enjoying themselves.
I was led to… is that a replica of my actual throne? My eyes widened and now I was completely and utterly speechless. Bellamy led me by the arm and had me sit down in the thrown he was about to leave when I grabbed him and dragged him back up.
"This is happening yes?" I hissed loudly enough for him to hear over the speakers.
He started laughing and I couldn't help but let out an indignant huff.
"Yes Commander this is happening." He smirked and couldn't help but smile at how Lexa's face was priceless. He really wished Clarke could see it right now at the affect she was having on the Commander.
"Where is Clarke?" I said.
Bellamy smirked and rolled his eyes.
"You'll know soon enough."
He made his retreat and I growled.
Indra came up to me and handed me a glass of wine.
"Breathtaking no?" she said trying to accomplish small talk.
I just shook my head. "How?" I asked not believing this has been under my nose for so long.
"Maybe you should ask Clarke that." She motioned to the stage.
My breath caught in my throat as I gripped my thrones armrest.
Up on stage Clarkes POV
I felt the buzz below as I straightened out my dress once again, as I held the mic in my hands just behind the curtain. This was only one of the dresses I was wearing tonight throughout the show but I wanted to get Lexa's attention so why not. Thank god for Mount Weather's wardrobe. I was wearing a red dress with red lipstick and my hair was pinned to the side as well as red heels. I was going for the kill.
My ear piece buzzed as Bellamy came over the radio.
"Red Eagle…The Head Raccoon has made it into the nest over."
I snorted as Octavia came over the speaker.
"Bellamy you're going to get yourself killed if you keep calling Lexa Head Raccoon."
"She's not even wearing her face paint." Octavia added grumbly.
"No she looks fucking hot actually." Bellamy stated.
I heard a swat over the radio. "Ow Raven what was that for…"
"For using the radio for inappropriate things…Anyway…Clarke whenever you're ready just get out there and get your woman." I looked over and Raven was giving her a thumbs up and so was Bellamy. He was actually smirking.
I took a deep breath in and then walked out on stage. I waited until everyone was looking before smiling. The music died and then the wolf whistles started. I chuckled into the mic feeling my heart begin to increase.
"Well Hello everyone…" I smiled brightly as I scanned the crowd and then I landed on Lexa. She was frozen in place looking like a deer in headlights. I smirked. Perfect.
"Most of you know exactly what's happening here but if you don't…I want to dedicate this whole show to The Commander, to Lexa for her birthday."
There were loud roars of approval and I smiled waiting for them to die down.
"I met Lexa when we were at odds with each other, two types of people that we had to protect, one common goal, our people's safety." I felt my heart begin to hammer and I walked a little to the left side of the stage.
"This party isn't only for us but for all of you that have achieved new friendships between the Trikru and Skaikru. Now are you ready to have what you've been craving for!?"
There was more roaring and chanting of both my name and Lexa's and I couldn't help but look up and see the awe in Lexa's eyes.
I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Good…because I am to." I said sultry right at her. I saw her neck as she gulped. And then I turned around and walked towards the curtain edge feeling her eyes on my backside. The lights went dark.
I sighed as I got behind the curtain and Raven and Octavia were on me.
"Oh my god that speech was amazing!" Octavia said and I couldn't help but laugh as she helped me out of the dress and into my dance clothes, black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt that said Fancy on it, a leather jacket, and white Jordans. All of us that were in the first song got into position.
When the lights came on the screaming of everyone began and the song started. I grinned.
(If you guys want the soundtrack for the show as well as the dancing then here's the link to a playlist I made just for this part to make it seem more real in your mind: watch?v=OzYeofpdM8A&list=PLCnCWw-4ylqp3WpbxDBYFgxui_B4hfiNL )
P.S. It might make more sense if you were to listen to these songs while reading fwi :)
Lexa's POV out in the Audience
That red dress was just…wow…all I could see was Clarke. When the lights came back on I recognized Clarke and Octavia in the front and gasped when the hypnotizing dancing began. They were moving so fast it was nothing I had seen before. I gripped the throne harder the more Clarke danced. Everyone including my warriors loved it, as did I. I had never heard such enticing music before. It was pulling out something inside of me I've never felt before. I looked all around at the band below the stage as well as the younger sky people dancing and screaming at Clarke and all of them on stage. It was breathtaking.
The next song began to play and I leaned forward as everyone got into pairs and began the next dance. I was enthralled at the fluid moves and I stared at Clarke. The song stopped and then a new one started everyone moved so fast as they all grouped up once again and got ready to dance as the song started again. It was fast like the first song everyone was watching Clarke. I couldn't blame them. The next song began and everyone jumped up and began to clap. They all were in sync; it was amazing how hard they had to have worked to get it this perfect. My breath left me as the song ended and the lights went out once again. I was completely out of breath as everyone continued to chant and dance in the audience. It was as if they were bringing out the excitement in everyone.
When the lights came back on it was just Octavia and Lincoln on the stage. The next song started and I couldn't help but laugh like everyone else as Octavia was walking away from Lincoln as if he cheated on her and Lincoln slid to her feat begging her. It was a pretty funny thing to watch. I could help but grin.
Clarks Pov on Stage.
I was laughing along with everyone at Octavia's and Lincolns show and Raven was helping me into my white lace dress that matched Lexa's but was all white with a deep blue train on the bottom. She pulled my hair loose and I thanked her just as Octavia and Lincoln was finished. The light's stayed on as they exited off the stage and I took a deep breath as I walked onto stage. Everyone was silent, starting in awe as I looked down and closed my eyes waiting for the piano to begin.
Playground school bell rings, again
Rainclouds come to play, again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello, I'm your mind,
Giving you someone to talk to…Hello…
I looked up and Lexa was staring at me intently everyone was completely quiet in the crowd.
If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me
I'm not broken
Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide…
I don't cry
I saw the tears leaking from Lexa's eyes while everyone was looking at me. I raised my eyes to the sky as I took in a deep breath.
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here, all that's left of yesterday…
The song ended as I stared at the sky and then I slowly looked down at Lexa and she had already wiped her tears and stood up. And everyone else did as well.
I looked to the side at raven and she paused the next song and then I looked at Lexa and bowed and every one roared with approval and some were even crying from my people. The Trikru chanted my name as I continued to bow and then I quickly nodded to Raven as I wiped my face and turned around to put my hand up as everyone got into position.
The next song began as I tapped out the beginning. I began to sing and then turned around to stare at Lexa.
I didn't stop looking at Lexa as I moved my hips with everyone else. I jumped up and down and turned around dancing in between the dancers on stage moving fluidly. Lexa had begun moving through the crowd I moved to the end of the stage watching her as I continued to sing to her and dance with the rest of the dancers. Octavia and some of the other girls grabbed mics and sung with me. I couldn't keep the huge smile off my face as I sang to the sky and everyone else. I continued to twirl and jumping up and down as everyone behind me danced together with me.
We never lost eye contact at that very moment. The song ended and I was breathing hard as she smiled at me right in front of me on the ground.
The lights went out.
I was pulled back into the stage wing and my heart was beating right out of my chest. Bellamy went out and waved at everyone saying that the last song was going to start soon. I had given him a speech used especially for this situation. I covered my hand as I breathed in and out and then I heard him say the line.
"Clarke spent weeks picking out this song coming up next to express exactly what she wants." I could feel him staring at Lexa as no one moved. "I hope you get the picture."
I smirked.
I walked out as people wolf whistled. And I sat right on the edge of the stage as 7 chairs were brought out and then the lights went out. I grinned widely knowing exactly what was going to happen when the lights turned on but the song began.
I sang into the mic and then the lights turned on at the down beat. Everyone screamed and wolf whistled at the girls behind me I grinned. As I stared at Lexa as she stood there unbelieving at what was happening. I smirked. I looked off into the audience and saw grounders and my people dancing.
I have never felt so much accomplishment as what was happening right now. I moved along with the song moving my hips and gripping the stage's edge as I sang. I got up and followed the girl's behind me running a hand through my hair and pulling as I began grinding the air in front of me with my back facing Lexa and everyone else and then I turned back around moving along to the beat as everyone in the crowd screamed and whistled I smiled so wide I stopped at a hip check and then continued fluidly singing to my heart's content. I stopped and looked at Lexa who was being hypnotized slowly. I smiled and lowered myself down to the ground from the stage and danced in front of Lexa. She watched me, I could see how dilated her eyes were at this point. And then the song was over and I was grinning from ear to ear as the roaring continued with everyone coming out and the people on the stage bowing to the crowd while I bowed right in front of Lexa.
Bellamy came out on stage and wished everyone a good party as I touched Lexa's arm and ran my hand down to hers grabbing it I didn't wait till Bellamy was done I pulled Lexa with me and she was silent as she stared at me breathing hard. I moved through the crowd with the captured Commander until we were behind the stage and that's when I felt the wind being pushed out of me as she cornered me against the stage looking down at me with a predatory look. I stared back at her as she lowered her head down to stare me straight in the eyes. "If you were trying to get my attention…you've succeeded…" she said quietly I felt a growl begin to build up in the back of her throat. She grabbed my hip and hair as she crashed her lips into mine. The rest of the air blew out of me as she pinned me with her body and I couldn't help the groan from coming out of the back of my throat. She bit my bottom lip hard and then sucked as she got impossibly closer to me. I couldn't believe how much those songs had affected her.
I suppose since they've never heard music before it would invoke these kinds of emotions…
"Stop thinking Clarke." Lexa growled into my open mouth as she pulled back.
I couldn't help but chuckle at her as she licked my bleeding lip in an apology.
"What kind of magic is this music?" She said quietly. She leaned her forehead on my shoulder as I held her close.
"Those last three songs were for me weren't they…"
I pulled her up to meet my eyes.
"They were all for you…but yes those last three were from me to you."
I saw a tear leak out and I wiped it softly with the pad of my thumb.
"If you speak to anyone about this...I will kill you…" She meant the tears and I smiled softly.
"Never." I took her hand in mine and led her away from camp.
"I have something to show you Lexa of the Tree people."
I felt her hand tighten again and I looked back and was shocked to see more tears fall.
Her Commander Mask is completely off tonight. I must have really surprised and shocked her.
"Do you like the dress?" I asked.
She smiled showing her teeth and I swear my heart had stopped as I saw the blush cross her face.
"Yes." She pulled me to her again as we walked and she kissed me softly.
"You have made me Lexa of the Tree People tonight Clarke of the Sky People."
"There shall be no Commander tonight." I said quietly.
Lexa looked at me with so much love at that and I couldn't help but blush at it.
"This is all so perfect. How did you do this…without me knowing?"
I smiled. "You will just have to find out won't you?"
Lexa gasped and smacked my arm at her words coming out of my mouth.
I couldn't help but laugh and she laughed with me as she put her hand in the crook of my arm.
"If this is how it would feel if we both weren't leaders I don't think I ever want to stop." Lexa said wistfully.
I nodded and then pulled a blindfold from my belt.
She looked at it quizzically.
"Do you trust me?" I said.
She nodded. "Always."
I felt my heart bloom at those words and then wrapped the blindfold around her eyes and tied it and then I held her hand as we made our way closer to the spot I had picked out. When we got there I slowly had us stop and then I told Lexa to close her eyes. I pulled the blindfold off and then she gasped as she looked around.
It was a clearing with white roses and candles were placed strategically around a blanket with food and drink on it with the sky opening up above it. she didn't say anything but she didn't need to with the look on her face.
"You did all of this…for me…" Lexa said.
I nodded as I lead her so we could sit down.
"I wanted to show you that I was ready."
She looked at me and I stared her in the eye.
"I'm ready to call you mine and I, yours." I said softly.
Lexa's smile at that moment radiated stronger than any atomic bomb she leapt across the blanket and tackled me and I couldn't help but laugh as she laughed. We pushed each other's hair from our faces and then leant down to seal our commitment.
"I'm ready to be yours." We said at the same time as we both smiled into each other's eyes in the candle light.
Well guy's o: that's it. I was thinking it should have a second part to this but it's really up to you all. Let me know what you think of it and if you want another part to it I'll be happy to oblige. Hugs and kisses :)
Artemis.
