"What are you doing now?" Clarke laughed as Lexa tugged on her arm and pulled her away from the orphanage where they had just dropped Emily off home.

Grinning at her, Lexa guided her round the corner before gesturing to a wagon set against a wall.

Clarke just shrugged at her helplessly, "I have no idea what you want from me Lex, I need context." She said pointedly.

Lexa just rolled her eyes, before turning away from Clarke to start clambering up onto the wagon, "Follow me Clarke." She ordered quickly, watching Clarke expectantly as she followed suit and did what she had said.

"Ok." Clarke said patiently, "I'm up, now will you tell me why?"

Her eyes sparkling as she smiled brightly, Lexa raised her arm so she could grasp the top of the wall the wagon was against before easily pulling herself to the top.

Clarke sighed as she watched her wife disappear over the edge, she should've know that something like this was coming, the relationship Lexa had with heights was as predictable as it was mystifying, and rooftops did seem to be her favorites.

"You know that I can't do that myself, I don't have the upper body strength." She called up when she didn't see Lexa reappearing after a few moments, "Are you really going to make me embarrass myself by trying?"

Light laughter floated over the edge and then she saw Lexa's head reappear as she offered out a strong arm for Clarke to grasp.

"Ready?" Lexa asked softly, her eyes still sparkling happily.

"Yeah, almost, just give me a-"

Clarke was cut off when Lexa yanked on her arm without warning, lifting her up onto the roof with almost no assistance from Clarke herself. It may infuriated her every time, Lexa's lack of patience, but Clarke couldn't help but marvel at her strength. Lexa trained for years to get to the level she was, but even so, there was almost something superhuman about how strong she was, and just how much Clarke found that attractive was something that she would never admit to out loud.

"So what now?" Clarke asked, as she found herself standing on a rooftop, with the whole city layed out below them, chest to chest with the love of her life as Lexa's arms encircled her waist.

Inches from her face, Lexa leaned in a little closer, "What do you want to happen now?" She whispered, a seductive edge to her voice that made Clarke laugh out loud.

"I want to get down from here, if the tone of your voice is anything to go by then we need to be firmly on the ground because you're accident prone already."

Lexa pouted, "Now that's just not fair Clarke, most of my wounds are taken in battle."

Clarke smiled, "Yes they are, and ninety percent of them were completely avoidable."

"Come on Clarke." Lexa chuckled, shrugging off Clarke's words lightly, before slipping from her arms and catching hold of Clarke's wrist, leading her across the roof to the other side, where a blanket and pillows were already laid out for them.

Lowering herself down to sit next to Lexa, Clarke pulled her wife closer, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead before guiding her to lay down with her head in Clarke's lap, her fingers gently teasing out the knots in Lexa's hair.

"So sleeping on the roof in Arkadia wasn't just because you hated the camp?"

Lexa shook her head softly, "No, I love it, high up, only the stars above us. It makes me feel safe."

Tilting her head to the side curiously, Clarke hummed thoughtfully under her breath, "Why? It makes you more exposed."

"Which is something I'm never meant to do." Lexa answered, "Breaking the rules, sleeping where I choose, away from my guards? It makes me feel like I'm not the Commander anymore. And if I'm not the Commander then I have nothing to fear from sleeping on my rooftop under the stars."

"Let me guess," Clarke said quietly, after a long pause, "You used to do this as a kid, I'd go as far as to say in this very spot as well."

Lexa just laughed, "Sometimes I think you can read my mind Clarke, how else would you know all my secrets before I tell them to you."

Clarke chuckled, "Now you know that's not true, you may not tell me with words, but you told me nonetheless. I don't think I'll ever know all your secrets Lexa, but I look forward to learning about all the ones you're willing to share with me."
