Clarke and Lexa were laughing when they finally closed Lexa's bedroom door behind them after a long day of rebuilding the peace that had threatened to crumble and fall whilst Pike was still alive. Once they had gotten back they finally found themselves relaxing completely and the look on Aden's face when Lexa ordered him to squire for her instead of taking part in the tournament himself was a true high point of their day, the tournament that Lexa was holding in honor of the new peace, which the leaders of every clan were invited to.

"Poor Aden." Clarke giggled as she bounced lightly onto Lexa's bed, stretching out like a cat.

Lexa grinned and started unbuckling the armor that she was still wearing, placing each piece carefully to the side and then laying her shoulder guard with the commanders sash attached on the top of the pile. She was left in a loose fitting shirt that was just a tiny bit too short, revealing her toned stomach as she climbed onto the bed and lay down beside Clarke after kicking off her boots.

"He will get over it, he broke the rules, he should be glad that that's the only repercussion he is facing."

Clarke smiled and rolled onto her side so that they were lying face to face, "This tournament your organizing. Is it dangerous?" She asked with concern, gently pulling the hair back from Lexa's face.

Lexa shook her head softly, "No, it's not like the fight with Roan. Tournaments are a display of strength but it is considered truly dishonorable to kill your opponent. In all my years I have only ever seen one death of a contestant and that didn't even happen within the arena itself."

Sighing in relief Clarke shifted closer to snuggle into Lexa's side, "Good, although you know I still don't like it right."

Wrapping her arm around Clarke's shoulders, Lexa grinned happily, "I'm well aware Clarke, but you don't need to worry about me, I will fight and you will watch and then in the evenings we will attend the celebrations through the streets of Polis. And everything. Will. Be. Perfect." She punctuated each of the last few words with a quick, gentle kiss and then frowned slightly, "Also, I was not aware that this was your room as well."

Clarke laughed, "Do you want me to leave?" She waited a moment and then grinned, "I didn't think so. This is another part of having a Skaikru for a girlfriend, you'll never have any peace and quiet."

"I've know that from the moment we met." Lexa sighed, shaking her head in mock disgruntlement as Clarke pretended to look offended. But when the blonde tried to get up from the bed, Lexa grasped her wrist and tugged, causing Clarke to fall straight back into her arms.

They were even closer than before and Clarke smiled as she looked into Lexa's astonishingly green eyes, "I always seem to be falling for you."

Lexa stared at her confused as Clarke burst into hysterical giggles at the ridiculous line she had used, "Ok Clarke, time to go to sleep, maybe your brain will be working again by the morning."

Clarke pouted but soon cheered up when Lexa pulled her closer into her arms and rested her chin on the top of Clarke's head, "Goodnight Clarke."

"Goodnight Lexa." She whispered, but she didn't close her own eyes, instead she lay in the dark for half the night, listening to the steady beat of Lexa's heart as she held her through the night, protecting her even whilst she slept.
