"I can't believe you haven't talked to Octavia about any of this." Lexa stated. She and Clarke had talked a little about what the blonde had been feeling the past several weeks.

"I know, I know. I was going to, but then she would have made it some huge deal and I would have never heard the end of it." The blonde answered as they lie on the bed.

"It kinda is a big deal though, don't you think?" Lexa asked nervously, hoping Clarke wasn't having second thoughts about this. Clarke heard the vulnerability in the tone and propped herself up on her elbow.

"Of course, but you know how O is. And don't worry, now that we're together, I'll tell her." Lexa smiled brightly at the words. "What?" Clarke asked, confused by the brunette's smile.

"You said we're together." Clarke smiled too. "Is that what you want?"

"I thought I made that pretty obvious." The blonde answered. "Is that what you want?" She asked Lexa.

"I thought I made that pretty obvious." Lexa replied sarcastically with a smirk and received playful punch in return.

"Smart ass."

Lexa sat up and Clarke did the same. "Seriously though, I really like you Clarke. And even though we're just now talking about this, I feel like there's been something building for a few months. So I was wondering if…" She paused as she tried to gather her courage.

"Are you trying to ask if I'll be your girlfriend?" The blonde asked with a teasing tone and smile causing Lexa to roll her eyes.

"Not if you're going to tease me about it." Lexa mumbled, making Clarke chuckled.

"Come on, I'll stop teasing you." She said but still Lexa didn't give in.

"Nope, you'll just have to wait now."

"Fine, I guess I'll just have to ask you." Clare stated softly, scooting closer to the other girl. "Lexa, will you be my girlfriend?"

"I knew you wanted a piece of this." The brunette smirked and then quickly found herself on her back, tackled by the blonde.

"Maybe." Clarke smirked back, making Lexa loose her breath. She maneuvered her hand to intertwine their fingers.

"I love to be you girlfriend."

"Awesome." The blonde whispered, closing the gap once again. Holy shit her lips are so soft. Lexa thought as Clarke lips moved against hers, letting out a moan as the blonde's tongue brushed against her own. Her hands moved into Clarke's hair as the kiss intensified. Neither noticed the door opening and the gasp that followed.

"Oh my God!" Raven yelled, excited as a fat kid in a candy store, breaking the two apart. "It's a Christmas miracle!"

"Raven what the hell!?" Lexa yelled as her sister flopped down on the bed with them, she had a big smile on her face.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we are so talking about this. How long has this been going on? Why haven't you told Octavia?" She asked Clarke who had moved to sit up on the bed, and then she looked at her sister. "Why haven't you told me?" She looked offended. "After all this 'Clarke is so great, Clarke is so pretty, Clarke is so-"

"Raven! Enough!" The brunette said, covering her face hide her embarrassment. She missed Clarke's radiant, fully fledged smile. She decided to take pity on the brunette, but she wasn't going to forget about this.

"We just figured things out." Clarke answered. "I haven't told Octavia yet because she's dramatic and would have just told me how right she'd been all these months. I'm going to text her later to let her know that Lex and I are together."

"Wait." Raven looked shocked. "You guys are together!? As in dating?"

"Yes, but it literally just happened."

"You're not like freaking out about this are you?" Raven asked Clarke. "I know you haven't been with a girl before."

"Raven." Lexa warned.

"I just want to make sure she's not going freak out and change her mind. No offense Clarke."

"It's fine." Clarke smiled. "I'm glad you have her back. But I assure you, I'm ready to be with Lexa. I've been freaking out for the past three months, trying to figure out my feelings. To make sure they were real." She then looked at Lexa. "And they're very real. I'll admit, I thought I would freak out but after the other night, after our almost kiss, I realized how much I want this. I haven't been able to get her off my mind."

"Awwww, I'm so happy for you guys." Raven cooed as Lexa sat up, giving Clarke a kiss on the cheek. "You two are so cute!'

"Raven you can go now."

"Fine, but we are so talking about this later." Once she left Lexa turned her attention back to Clarke.

"That was really sweet of you."

"It was true, even though you're an ass eight five percent of the time." Clarke smirked, bumping shoulders with the other girl, and Lexa rolled her eyes.

"I just want to make sure you're comfortable with this…with us. I don't want you to feel pressured or anything about jumping into a relationship." She said seriously.

The blonde smiled at how sweet Lexa was being. "I'm sure. You were right, this has been brewing for a while now. I'm ready to be with you."

"Awesome." The brunette smiled. "I'll be right back." She got off the bed. "I'm gonna get your Christmas present and make sure Raven isn't blowing up Octavia's phone. You should be the one to tell her when you're ready." Clarke smiled at the thoughtfulness of her girlfriend as Lexa left the room. Girlfriend…It has a nice ring to it. Clarke thought as she dug her phone out of her pocket to text her best friend.


Octavia sat on the couch watching her cousins fight about which game to play on the PS4. She rolled her eyes as one of them hit the other and ran off crying for their mother. Someone please kill me now. She thought then her phone beeped. She smiled when she saw it was Clarke that had text her.

C*Are you busy right now?*

O~ No, just watching my cousins fight with each other…what's up?~ She sat there a few minutes, watching as her aunt turned off the controller telling the eight year old twins to go to their room when-

C*Soooo, I may have kissed Lexa.* "Holy fucking shit!" She yelled as she read the text, sitting up in her seat.

"Octavia!" Her aunt chastised. Octavia said a quick sorry but before she had a chance to type out a response another came in.

C*And we're kind of together now.*

C*Not kind of…we are together.* Even though she knew Clarke couldn't see it Octavia had the biggest shit eating grin on her face. She didn't even bother texting her best friend back, instead chose to click the phone icon. Clarke answered on the second ring.

"He-"

"When did this happen!? Why the hell didn't you tell me you were feeling things for Lexa!?"She rattled off, not even letting Clarke answer the phone properly. The blonde went on to tell her all the things she had told Lexa, with O rolling her eyes at each thing even if she knew they were true.

"You still could have talked to me about your feelings though Clarke. You're my best friend and I should have been there for you." She stated seriously and Clarke could hear the hurt in her voice. "I may have given you shit but you know I would have helped you through it too."

"I know." Clarke answered, now feeling bad for not talking to O about it sooner. "It was just something I needed to figure out on my own. But don't worry, now that I've realized my feelings for Lexa I promise to tell you everything."Clarke smiled as Lexa came back in the room. She cut off O's rambling. "Hey O, Lexa just came back in, I'll call you later?" Then she rolled her eyes. "No I'm not hanging up the phone just so I can make out with her." She answered, making Lexa laugh and she hopped on the bed.

"She totally is Octavia!" She yelled into the phone.

"Don't tell her th-oh great, she just squealed." Clarke stated and Lexa chuckled. "This is your fault." Then tried to speak to Octavia again. "O, I'll call you when I leave…Yes, I will tell you all about it….Bye." She hung up the phone and playfully pushed her girlfriend. "You added fuel to the already burning fire with that one." Lexa smiled as she leaned closer, kissing the blonde's lips.

"Feels so good to do that whenever I want now." She stated, making Clarke feel all warm inside.

"Who knew you could be so sweet?" Clarke asked rhetorically.

"Are you going to keep saying that every time I'm nice to you?"

"Maybe." Clarke smiled and Lexa rolled her eyes.

"You lucky you're pretty." The brunette retorted. "Are you ready for your gift or what?" She held out the present that Clarke had missed her carrying in when she was talking to Octavia. The blonde smiled, sat up, and took the wrapped box. Lexa watched her girlfriend as she opened her gift, she grinned as Clarke opened the box and let out a chuckle.

"Seriously?" She asked as she held up a pink shirt. "Lexa is the Commander of my heart." She read with a laugh, Lexa smirked.

"At least it's not yellow." She said but then reached under the bed and brought out another, smaller gift. "This is your real gift." Clarke smiled as Lexa handed it to her. She opened it to reveal a silver necklace with her softball number on it.

"Lex, I love it." Clarke removed the necklace from the box, handing it to the brunette. "Put it on me." She turned and moved her hair. The brunette clasped the necklace then placed a soft kiss on Clarke's skin, sending a shudder down the blonde's spine. She turned her head to look at Lexa. "Thank you." She leaned closer, kissing her girlfriend. The brunette brought her hand to Clarke's face, caressing her cheek. The blonde pulled away first. "Now, my gift." Clarke grabbed Lexa's and handed it to her.

Lexa gasped when she opened the small box, finding not only a few of her favorite movies but-"Paramore tickets!?" She looked to the blonde who wore a smile. "Are you serious?"

"I know how much you love them."

"You are amazing." There were two tickets. "I wonder who I should take with me?" Lexa stated, pretending to think about it when she was wacked with a pillow.

"You're taking me, asshole." Clarke answered for her. "I just put my ticket in there as well."

"I guess you'll do, but you have to promise to come to my basketball tournament next week." The brunette bargained.

"You know I'm going anyway, but you've got yourself a deal."

"Good, let's seal it with a kiss." Lexa leaned closer with a smile and Clarke laughed.

"You set that up just so you could kiss me, didn't you?"

"Maybe." Lexa answered. "Kiss me anyway." Then closed the distance once again.
