A/N: Hey sorry for a late update, but I have been in rehearsals all day and so I have had to stay up late to write even this much. Also, following from that, it is show night for me tomorrow night, and I am unlikely to get out of the theatre before half eleven so unfortunately there will be no update tomorrow. I am really sorry but it is so exhausting and I know that I wont be in any mindset to write tomorrow once I've done. Thank you for being so patient with me, I love you guys so much! xxx
When Ontari and Raven sat down opposite Clarke and Lexa, Lexa stared at Ontari expectantly, who just looked at her confused.
"The ring?" She demanded a minute later, too impatient to wait until she volunteered the information herself.
Ontari turned to Raven shocked, as Lexa just smirked, taking hold of Ontari's hand to look at the gleaming piece of metal.
"Perfect fit, I owe you money Raven, I was sure you would have to adjust it."
Clarke gave Raven a hurt look, "You told Lexa but not me?"
Lexa smiled at her, "Jealous?"
"I'm annoyed at you too, you could have told me."
Shaking her head, Lexa chuckled, "I made a promise, I thought you would appreciate me keeping it more than breaking Raven's trust."
Ontari laughed as she entwined hers and Raven's fingers, "So the timing was no accident, you planned to ask me today."
Raven smiled happily, joined by Clarke who had only been feigning offence. "I wanted to ask you here to give you a happy memory to associate with this place, as well as to let you know that I love all of you, past, present and future."
Leaning forwards, Ontari kissed Raven sweetly, as Clarke and Lexa's smiles widened, happy for their friends who truly deserved each other.
"Clarke asked me on impulse with no thought or planning whilst we were in bed." Lexa said teasingly when they pulled back. "And she didn't give me a ring until weeks later."
Clarke poked at her side in exasperation as the other two laughed, "You had just said something incredibly romantic, it just slipped out."
Laughing Ontari touched the back of Lexa's hand sympathetically where it was resting on the table, "I am so sorry, maybe you should marry one of the Trikru after all."
"Yeah, maybe Lincoln will swap girlfriends with you." Raven grinned as Clarke glared at the two of them.
Lexa chuckled and pulled Clarke closer, pressing a kiss against her cheek, "No thanks, she may be an idiot but she is mine."
Clarke just rolled her eyes as she leaned into Lexa, letting their teasing go as she smiled genuinely at Raven and Ontari, "Well anyway, I am very happy for the two of you."
Ontari smiled in response, thanking her before looking back at Lexa thoughtfully, "How much longer are we intending to stay in Azgeda?"
Leaning her arms against the table top, Lexa tilted her head to the side as she considered the question, "Now that the volunteers from Trikru have arrived and Raven has given them a method of breaking up the ice, I don't think we need to stay much longer. Perhaps we should consider leaving in the morning. Why, no love for your home city?"
"Not at all." Ontari shot back immediately, "And I miss Cal, the peace and quiet is just too quiet without him around."
Lexa smiled, "Tomorrow then, I will inform Roan of our plans later this evening."
Lexa and Clarke went to bed earlier than usual with the knowledge that they would be facing a long ride the following day, crawling under the covers and huddling close together, disliking the freezing temperatures of Azgeda lands compared to the milder weather of Polis.
"How long have you know about Raven wanting to ask Ontari to marry her then?" Clarke asked curiously as she curled her body into Lexa's, who wrapped her strong arms around Clarke's shoulders and held her close to keep them both warm."
"The day I showed her where the old world technology was kept in Polis." Lexa said after taking a moment to think back, "She made sure it was just the two of us, and then she asked me for advice."
Clarke's eyes widened slightly, "I can't believe that you didn't tell me."
Lexa smiled, "It wasn't my secret to tell Clarke. I value my friendship with Raven, I do not wish to lose it because of something like this."
Snuggling in closer, Clarke yawned against Lexa's shoulder, "I suppose I understand, I love you Lexa."
"And I love you Clarke." She smiled, tightening her grip on Clarke just a fraction as their eyes slid closed and they slipped into a deep, restful sleep.
