A/N: Hey guys, you very nearly didn't get an update today but I managed to get it done haha. Thank you for everyone that is reviewing. Can't wait to hear what you think of this one! xx
Lexa groaned as she was woken up by the feeling of Clarke's lips peppering kisses across her face, "Whilst I appreciate the manner of being woken up, I feel like I must protest the actual waking." She said without opening her eyes.
Clarke's answering laugh filled her ears before she felt Clarke's lips finally connect with her own in a sweet kiss.
"I didn't want you to wake up to an empty bed," She explained, "I'm heading over to Octavia's room to see whether she's still alive after yesterday."
Lexa snickered at the mental image that her brain provided her with then, of a moaning Octavia being carried to her bed by Lincoln as she clutched her stomach pathetically, crying out in equal parts about her useless legs and her pained stomach for overeating in an attempt to beat Raven.
Surprisingly Raven had been perfectly fine, even after beating Octavia twice, Ontari had had to physically drag her girlfriend away to stop her continuing just to rub it in to Octavia who was glaring murderously across the room even as she groaned and clutched at her stomach in pain.
"That is probably for the best Clarke, also be sure to tell her that she owes my horse a carrot."
Clarke laughed, kissing Lexa once more before hopping off the bet and heading out the door, feeling glad that Octavia and Lincoln's room was only a few doors down.
When she knocked it was Lincoln who answered, leaning against the door frame and smiling at her warmly, "What can I do for you Clarke?"
"I'm here to check on the health of your idiotic girlfriend." She grinned.
"I heard that." Clarke heard Octavia's muffled shout from within the room but it came out as more of a whimper than an angry yell.
Clarke tilted her head questioningly at Lincoln who just smirked and stepped to the side to allow her to walk past into their room.
Octavia looked awful when Clarke caught side of her, sprawled across the bed with the blankets bunched haphazardly over her body.
"Are those the clothes you were wearing last night?" She asked as Octavia reluctantly rolled over to watch her out of one eye as she approached the bed.
"Couldn't get them off last night." Octavia said by way of explanation.
Lincoln just shrugged as he walked over to sit next to her, "Every time I tried to help she hit me away, in the end it was just easier to let her stay in the clothes. I did get the jacket off though."
Clarke grinned, sitting on the other side of Octavia and giving her a quick once over before declaring that the only thing that was wrong with her was her glaringly obvious lack of sense.
"You're going to feel like crap, probably for the next few days at least. Do me a favour O, next time someone proposes a stupid bet, say no."
With the pain in her stomach and legs, and also her lower back from carrying Ontari's weight, Octavia nodded eagerly.
Clarke eyed Lincoln as she stood up and went to leave the room, it was clear that neither of them actually believed that she would really refuse.
"By the way, Lexa said you owe her horse a carrot." Clarke tossed back over her shoulder as she walked out of the door, laughing again when she heard the groan Octavia let out.
Before she headed back to her own room, she made a snap decision and knocked on Raven and Ontari's door, which was only two down from Lincoln and Octavia.
"Yeah Clarke?" Ontari asked blearily as she wiped at her eyes with the back of her hand.
"I was wondering how Raven was feeling."
"Why?" Ontari asked, almost suspiciously, which proved Clarke's theory as she grinned smugly and pushed past her shoulder into the room, seeing Raven lying in a similar position to Octavia.
Clarke shook her head despairingly, "You are both idiots."
"I won." Raven answered simply.
"Right, sure you did Raven, and that explains why you look greener than Octavia right now. And now you're hiding so she doesn't find out you feel just as bad. You're the only person with any sense at all." She said, turning to Ontari who just looked at her a little bit confused.
"You purposefully didn't break Octavia's back when she was carrying you, and you dragged away your senseless girlfriend before she could eat herself to death. I'm beginning to see why night bloods are the only ones who can be Commander, you are clearly born more intelligent than other people."
"I resent that. I am a genius." Raven muttered from her spot on the bed, as Ontari smirked proudly from her place by the door on the other side of Clarke, which she hadn't shifted from an inch since Clarke had walked in.
"Tell me that again when you can actually raise your head to say it." Clarke grinned, "Where's Cal anyway?"
Ontari smiled, "Raven's one of his heroes, I didn't feel it appropriate for his view of her to be ruined by the sight of her pitiful defeat by food." She ignored Raven's protestations that she had been victorious against Octavia and that was all that mattered. "I sent him off with Aden, he said that you and Lexa would be ok with it. I hope that's true."
"Of course." Clarke said quickly, "It will be nice to for Aden to spend time with Cal, with his attachment to Lexa he's pretty much part of our family as well."
"Attachment to Lexa?" Raven snorted, "Not to mention his attachment to you Clarke. The kid follows you both round and if one of you disappears he looks panicked until you reappear."
Clarke grinned, "Whatever Raven. Just don't do anything else stupid until at least tomorrow. And make sure Octavia doesn't try to weasel her way out of feeding Lexa's horse. But call me first in case she gets bitten and needs her fingers reattaching."
The two brunettes laughed as she left the room, heading back to her own where Lexa had finally gotten up and dressed.
"So what are we doing today?" Clarke asked happily as Lexa turned round and looped her arms round Clarke's shoulders.
"Today we tell the city of our intent to be bonded."
