"Lexa?" Clarke asked softly. They had decided to go to bed shortly after Lexa had asked to stay for the night, which Clarke had happily agreed on. She was glad and thankful that Lexa had opened up to her, and that she had asked for Clarke's company. She had let Lexa go through her evening routine and she had smiled when Lexa had thanked her, over and over again, for giving her the freedom and patience she needed, unlike her roommate. Now they were lying in Clarke's bed, both on their backs, looking up at the ceiling.

"Yes?" Lexa asked back, and Clarke's heart skipped a beat. Hurt was still evident in the girl's voice, but at the same time, it was so, so soft.

Clarke rolled onto her side to look at Lexa. "Have you thought about moving?"

"Why moving?"

"I mean… moving out of your dorm."

The brunette's shoulders slightly tensed before she nodded, but she didn't say anything. Clarke waited for a bit and when Lexa remained silent, she spoke again.

"And what's your opinion about it?"

Lexa sighed and scratched her nose. "I don't think it makes much sense. People usually react and behave the same, so there's a high possibility of my next roommate being not any different… And I'm not too fond of changes. I'd rather just go with what I'm used to."

Clarke considered Lexa's words for a moment, before a smile spread across her face. "I have a friend, Raven, she's really cool and she has a spare room. What if you move in with her?"

Now it was Lexa's turn to roll over, so that she was facing Clarke, too. "I don't know, Clarke… what if she finds out and thinks I'm a freak, too?"

Clarke's smile widened. "She won't think that, I promise. She's really chill. Maybe you could meet her? I know that she wants to meet you for sure!"

Lexa furrowed her brows. "How do you know that?"

Clarke shifted a little and cleared her throat. "Well, I might have, maybe, told her a bit about you. A huge bit. Kinda. And she said she wants to meet you."

"Really?"

"Really."

Lexa's forehead smoothed out a bit. "Perhaps it's worth a try."

They didn't say anything after that, they just looked at each other for a long while. Well, Clarke looked at Lexa who had busied herself with fumbling with the seam of her blanket. Before she could stop herself, Clarke reached out and gently tucked a strand behind the girl's ear.

"You're so beautiful." She whispered, causing Lexa to meet her eyes for a second before the brunette quickly dropped her gaze back to her hands.

"You're beautiful too, Clarke."


Over the next few days, Clarke found herself drowning in school work and no matter what she tried, there was just no time to meet her favorite shy girl. And if she hadn't been stressed and frustrated enough already, her mother kept inviting her over for dinner. Thanksgiving was just around the corner as well, just another reason for Abby to insist on seeing her daughter.

It was Friday afternoon and Clarke struggled to keep her eyes open during her Art History class. She sent an apologetic smile to her professor when an exaggerated yawn escaped her, causing the majority of students in the lecture hall to pause writing to look at her. She slumped deeper in her chair and pulled out her phone.

Raven and Octavia had been bugging her for a week now, stating they had to meet Lexa; The girl that had their best friend smiling like an idiot, even during math homework.

Clarke (4:31pm): Hey Lex :) I was wondering if you'd like to come over later? Raven and Octavia will be there, no one else. Don't worry, just girls' night with lots of pizza and weird conversations. ;)

She knew Lexa had classes right now as well, animal hematological… something, so she was rather surprised to feel her phone buzz a minute later. With a quickened heart rate, she pulled out her phone.

Lexa (4:32pm): Are you sure they'll be okay with that? I don't want to intrude.

Clarke grinned.

Clarke (4:34pm): Those two idiots are *dying* (not literally!) to meet you! 8pm my place! I don't accept excuses! ;)

Lexa (4:34pm): 8pm your place it is then.

Clarke (4:35pm): Cool! Looking forward to seeing you again :)

Clarke (4:41pm): I've missed you

Lexa (4:42pm): I've missed you, too.


"Clarke!"

The blonde jumped from her couch at the loud banging on her door from Raven and Octavia.

"Claaarrrke! Open the damn door! Raven needs to pee, she's dying!" Octavia yelled from outside while Clarke ran to her door, more worried about her neighbors calling the police than about the dying Raven in front of her apartment.

"Jesus guys, you almost gave me a heart attack!" She groaned and stepped aside so her friends could enter.

"Yeah and I almost died!" Raven exclaimed while running to the bathroom.

Clarke let out a long groan. "Doesn't she have her own toilet?"

Octavia shot her an apologetic smile and unpacked her backpack, revealing bottle after bottle of hard liquor.

"She decided a beer for the way was a good idea, and who am I to deny her that wish. She's a grown up person… at least I thought so, until I realized that this one beer was actually three." The short girl laughed and finally dropped down on Clarke's couch, the blonde following suit, handing Octavia a beer before opening one for herself. They drank in silence until Raven appeared, visibly relieved.

"I love you."

"You love my bathroom."

"True, who am I kidding." Raven grinned and took Clarke's beer for a sip, obviously not intending to give it back any time soon. "So…" she drawled, "we're finally gonna meet your girl, huh?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"She's not my girl, Rae." Clarke defended Lexa and herself, but Raven didn't believe her in the slightest and took another sip.

"Whatever helps you sleep, princess."

Before Clarke could protest, there was a knock on the door. She quickly got up but paused to look at Raven, who looked back at her with her most innocent face. Clarke pointed two V–sign fingers at her narrowed eyes, then at Raven's in an I'm watching you! gesture, before turning around to open the door for Lexa. And she missed Raven's smug grin.
