A very drunken Clarke was trying to open the front door of her house. Lincoln accepted to give her a ride so she doesn't spend money on a cab – it was only a small detour for him and would feel better if she got home with him and Octavia. Now, she was outside and trying to find her… "Fucking keys, dammit." She mumbled. "Why does it always happen to me?"
She remembered she forgot her keys inside and the door was locked. Raven wasn't there because she texted her earlier to tell her she was spending the night with Finn. There was no lights inside the house, so Lexa was probably asleep, in her bedroom. She was screwed. She could always try to open a window, but in her state, she sure would not succeed. She tried to open the door again, even though she knew there was absolutely no chance it would magically open up to her.
"Clarke, you suck." She whispered to herself.
She knew the only chance she had to get inside was to wake Lexa and she felt horrible just thinking about waking the beautiful green eyed woman. She chuckled and walked to the window of Lexa's room. She looked inside, but there was no one. Shit. She was probably at her uncle's, babysitting her cousins. Since there was almost always someone in the house, they never felt the need to make a spare key to hide somewhere – so Clarke was really locked up outside her own house. "Dammit."
"This is stupid." She kept arguing with herself. Drunken Clarke often spoke to herself. She got back to the porch and sat against the front door. The idea of sleeping there popped in her mind and she slowly began to close her eyes. Hopefully, her neighborhood was very calm. She yawned and fell asleep a few minutes later.
She felt someone shaking her shoulders and she didn't even opened an eye. "What." She dropped without understanding there was actually someone shaking her, wanting to wake her up. Then she heard her voice.
"Are you drunk?!"
The blonde sighed. "Nah. I'm Clarke." She heard Lexa chuckle over her rusty voice and her answer. She was only a light social drinker, but this night, she, Octavia and Lincoln were trying to remember the good old times and she challenged Clarke at a pretty heavy drinking game. Obviously, Clarke got drunk before her friends and that was it. She now was looking ridiculous in front of the girl that just moved in three months ago. Yep. "Good job." She said, talking to herself again. She heard a little 'what' coming from her roommate, but there was no answer from Clarke.
"I think now is the good time to get you to bed, unless you want to sleep against our front door?" Lexa asked, lowering her body so she could get a little bit closer to her roommate.
"Yes. Nope." She said, answering Lexa's questions in order.
"Hey sunshine, open your eyes." Clarke did and needed a moment to adjust her vision to the night. She saw Lexa and smiled at her. A really, really big smile.
"Oh, Lexa. Hello."
"Come on, it's freezing outside," She took both Clarke's arm and insisted. "I'm going to lift you up."
"Wait I- Lexa." Too late, she felt her body being lifted off the ground and she had all the misery in the world to try to stand up alone. She had to lean on Lexa, who tried to open the door while holding her.
They made it inside their house, along with the purse, finally. Even if Lexa was stronger than Clarke and sober, she was tired and Clarke's weight began to be a problem after a few minutes. "Hey, you're holding on up there?" She asked the blonde and she slightly nodded – Lexa knew she was about to pass out sooner or later. She had to get to her room before this could happen in the hallway.
Hopefully for the younger brunette, Clarke's room was on the same floor, not too far from the front door. She took the girl's arm and put it around her neck, so it can be easier to support her. Lexa walked slowly and Clarke was dragged into her own room. She opened the light and frowned, then she helped her to get to the bed and lowered her body so she could remove her shoes. She had never really been in Clarke's room since she moved in – she only saw some of it from when the door was open. It was really clean, like she pictured it. There was drawings hanging on the walls and they were really beautiful.
She felt Clarke move and the next thing she knows, it's that the blonde is holding her in a tight hug. She didn't know how to react at first, because she obviously is not used to this proximity with anybody. She is stiff and don't know where to put her hands, so she figured out that Clarke's back was appropriate. She heard her huff and glanced at her, smiling.
"You should sleep." She said, slowly caressing her back.
"Maybe. Bring me a bowl. In case." Clarke said, seeming to be more aware of the situation she was in. Lexa left for the kitchen to find a big bowl.
She came back to Clarke with it and put the bowl on the nightstand right beside her bed. "How did you even end up on the porch?" Lexa asked her.
"Lincoln drove me here. He's a sweetheart." She answered and Lexa raised a bow when she heard what she said after. "You're sweetheart too."
"Thanks, Griffin."
"Sit with me?" She asked, looking at her roommate. "Stop standing."
Lexa sat on the bed with her, looking at the smiling and sleepy Clarke. She knew she wouldn't stay awake that long, so she would wait to see her friend closing her eyes to head to her room. "Are you working tomorrow?"
"Nope," Clarke smiled. "That's why Octavia made me drink."
"I guess we can agree that you're a responsible adult, then." Lexa replied, smiling back at her.
"Lexa."
"Yes?"
"Is it short for Alexandria?"
"Yes."
"Alexandria is a cute name."
"Thanks."
"Therefore, you are cute too."
She chuckled and Lexa shook her head, feeling her cheeks going full red. She wasn't used to receive these kind of compliments. She put her attention back on Clarke, who began so have difficulties keeping her eyes open. As soon as Lexa heard a little snoring from the blonde, she knew she wouldn't open her eyes until the morning. She left the bed and came back with a large glass of water and ibuprofen for her roommate, so she could take them when waking up. Lexa went to her room and got to bed right away.
