Clarke and Lexa are enjoying a late night of binge-watching their favorite T.V show on Netflix. (AU)
It was nearly midnight, and the two had been binge watching their favorite show, the living room smelled of burnt popcorn and butter. Clarke didn't mind it burned. However, Lexa snuffed her nose to the bowl and shoved it into Clarke's lap.
"Suit yourself, more for me!" Clarke has said with a wink, earning a soft punch in her arm.
"I'm quite content without any nastily burnt popcorn, and I'll just stick with these…"
She watched Lexa carefully as she reached into her purse and pulled out a zip lock bag full of gummy bears. She preferred the sour kind, something about the sour crystals just tingled her taste buds. Well, that's how Lexa had described it to her.
"How long have you been hiding those? I thought you stopped eating them?"
"I did! Ok, I haven't completely given them up, I just save them for situations like this."
Clarke palmed her face in her hand, then glared at Lexa. "So, you stopped eating them only because you decided on saving them for a situation like this? Honey you are the one that burnt the popcorn, and now I believe you did it on purpose."
"I would never do such a thing…" she averted her eyes as she popped a gummy bear in her mouth… Clarke's eyes fixated on Lexa's plump lips, a few the sour crystals stuck to them.
"Hey, Lexa."
"Yes, Clarke?"
"Can I ask you a question...?"
"Depends on the question?"
Lexa glances at Clarke, popping yet another sour gummy bear into her mouth. The expression on Clarke showing that the question she was about to ask was important.
"How…" she licked her drying lips, she was thirsty, not for a beverage it was for something more "…How would you feel if I tried to kiss you? Metaphorically, of course, since we are just friends."
"Umm that is a strange thing to ask, to be honest, I wasn't expecting that kind of question." she giggled eating another gummy bear, Clarke stared into her empty popcorn bowl and sighed before returning her gaze to Lexa. She could feel the couch shift on Lexa's half: she turned towards her. "Why are you-" she had no time to finish while Lexa pressed her lips against Clarke's pushing the blonde's body against the couch. Clarke decided not to think about anything and just went with it, it was unbelievable, Lexa was the last person she'd expected to be kissed by. The question was genuinely just on a whim but watching her chew those gummy bears just seemed to trigger something in her brain, the uninhibited part apparently, Lexa pulled away after the two had exchanged kisses with just as much vigor as the other.
"That wasn't that bad...I could get used to that" smirked Lexa, flicking the end of Clarke's ear while she still laid on top of her. She stared into those beautiful eyes, running her other hand through the blonde hair that she had been blessed to have.
Clarke stared into Lexa's eyes also, her hand coming to rest on Lexa's cheek, she looked, she powerful, so beautiful, and that smile, she also smiled her smile caused Lexa's smile to grow more, and her eyes seemed to dance in the space between them.
"That was incredible; I didn't think you had it in you."
"Well, I didn't either, to be honest." giggle
That was how Clarke and Lexa ended up cuddling together on the couch, Lexa falling asleep, her head up against Clarke's shoulder while Clarke had her arms wrapped around Lexa and a black draped across their laps. Clarke just watched Lexa breathing, the slow rise, and fall of her chest was almost hypnotic, and her lips pursed, her breath coming in light puffs from her gentle slumber. Clarke couldn't believe such beauty existed in this world, let only in her arms, yet here she was, holding darling Lexa in her arms and watching her sleep as the world just stopped, nothing else mattered right now nothing.
