Chapter 8
December
Exam days are over for the past week, that means just a little over, probably, one to two weeks left and it will be the Christmas break. That news is actually good for all the students of Grounder high, especially to a group of friends that contains trouble makers but every one of them actually have some brains and amazing goals in life.
Like Lexa, she is just slumped and relaxed on the couch of their apartment in weekdays. Phone in hand, grin her face, time to time, she'll just smile randomly. It's amazing if someone can make Lexa smile, it's not that she's a depressive person, but she's just always focused in life.
The reason for it?
She's texting Clarke as the commander. She will always love these kind of moments, where she can always tease Clarke. Not that she can't tease Clarke being Lexa and not the commander. But these moments are iconic, even, sometimes she do know what Clarke tells her, but the thing she needed to do always was being amused by all of it.
What Lexa really likes while talking to Clarke as the commander, the blonde is just so carefree and amazing.
Why?
Because everyone knows that the commander is an anonymous person, but when Clarke talks to her as it is, it's like she's a normal friend of Clarke. No stories that are hid, maybe just really some personal stuffs aren't shared. Still, Clarke is always easy to talk to.
Commander: You did not!
Clarke: I did!
Commander: Raven must really hated you.
Clarke: She did, you have no idea. But I was just helping her.
Commander: You told me, she's doing a project, involving some 'booming' stuffs. Why did you put a sleeping pill in her drink, then?
Clarke: Because she's gonna blow our place up! Octavia agreed that we should let Raven sleep for a while and we knew she'll continue it in her house, so.
Lexa chuckled at that. She shook her head and a small laugh left her mouth.
She waited for a few seconds to reply and her phone vibrates, indicating a new text.
It's from Clarke.
Clarke: You can't blame me!
Lexa knew she'll say that.
Commander: I'm not.
Clarke: You were hesitant to reply.
Commander: Of course you did noticed that.
Clarke: Why wouldn't I?
Commander: Well, you basically already noticed it, so any type of argument that will be coming from me won't be valid anymore.
Clarke: Did I ever told you that you're an smartass?
Commander: From time to time, yes.
Clarke: Remind me to tell you that every time. So what's up with you tonight, any plans?
Lexa thought for a second before answering. She remembers nothing at all, but she have a vibe that there's a coming wave of people that's going to ask her to come out.
Commander: Noted. Don't have any plans for tonight, just a vibe that I might have. But do you?
Clarke: How do you even have those kinds of vibes, but never mind about that. Yes I kind of do have plans.
Lexa didn't know Clarke's going out tonight, probably this is why she's having the vibe. She was typing out a message and what she didn't notice was three people just entered the room. A small smile spread in her features while typing out, until-
"What the fuck?!" Lexa exclaimed and whipped her head towards the person who threw a pillow at her head.
"What?" Raven eyes her innocently.
"It wasn't her, trust me." Octavia said as she flopped down on the couch.
"Please lock the door when you're home alone here Lexa. Do you want someone just breaking into our apartment and steal all your candles?" Anya shrugged and followed Raven who's sitting on the side of Lexa. She settled on the other small couch.
"Oh my god!" Lexa felt flustered when she heard the word candles. Anya knows her collection of candles, but her best friend thinks it's an addiction. She groaned.
"Expensive candles, I might add." Anya grinned and Lexa felt a blush in her cheeks. Lexa glared at her best friend, but she do agree at that because those candles are quite expensive.
"As much as I'm enjoying seeing Lexa being flustered, but Woods, what's up with the smile earlier?" Raven grinned because she might have an idea.
Lexa was thankful when Raven cut off with the candles topic, but the question really caught her off guard. How they did even saw that, is she really smiling while texting Clark or she's just messing with Lexa. Yes, she really is smiling, no doubt.
"I have the rights to ask this, what the hell are you guys doing here?" Lexa narrowed her brows and completely ignoring Raven's question.
"It's my apartment too, if you're asking. They're our friends and if you hit your head real hard, I'm allowed to bring people here to hang out." Anya shrugged.
"Who are you talking to Lexa?" Octavia asked out of nowhere. She looked at Raven and nodded, signaling she'll start it.
Lexa narrowed her brows at the two of them confusedly. But Octavia's question makes her want to hide away from the three people in the room with her right now. "Uhm it's no one." Lexa said and she saw Octavia sighed and nudged Raven. What the fuck is happening? She thought. "I think I'm going to my room." Lexa was about to stand up but an arm on her right side connects with her stomach and she flopped down on the couch again.
Lexa looked at Anya for help and really has that confusion all over her features. She saw the dirty blonde didn't met her gaze and this is the time she knows something's up. Something serious is going to happen in a moment and it's about her.
Octavia held Lexa's forearm and the other side is Raven. Lexa tried to fight off the grasp of the two people but she can't even move. She looked at them both and she's really feeling the anger coming up. She has no idea what's happening right now.
All she knows is, she needs to reply at Clarke.
"It's Clarke you're talking to, right?" Raven asked.
Lexa clenched her jaw and her gaze fixed on her phone on the table in front of them. "What's up with you two wanting to know who's I'm texting with." Lexa snap, the brunette just can't help it if she's being cornered by her friends.
"You're texting her as who?" Octavia asked her the next.
What the hell?
"If you guys won't free my ar-"
"You'll what?" Raven challenged and Lexa just groaned because she knows she can't hurt her friends.
"Can you just all tell me what's up?" She said.
"If you haven't noticed, we've been telling you since earlier and you just keep on ignoring our questions. Which is a dumb move because it will make Raven and I do this, get you in a physical way." Octavia said as a matter of fact.
"I keep ignoring it because I don't know what you're talking about." Lexa said.
"I have a question." Raven said and looked at Lexa. Octavia narrowed her brow at Raven confusedly and she just stared at Octavia saying 'trust me' and she nodded.
"If I'll answer that, can you just both let go of me." Lexa offers and both of her friends spoke in their eyes. "Right now." Lexa adds.
"We know, can you shut up." Raven quirked her brow at Lexa.
"You really are a friend of Clarke." Lexa sighed.
She heard Anya snickered at the side and the two women beside her chuckled. Is that because of her mentioning Clarke?
"Let her go O." Raven said and Octavia did what she was told to. She settled on the left side of Lexa and rubbed her hands waiting for Raven.
Lexa felt a tightened gripped on her right side and she glared at Raven. "Maybe loosen your grip a little bit." Lexa said.
"If I'll remove my hands and you'll try to get away, I will make your apartment go boom." Raven threatened. Lexa chuckled remembering the story that Clarke was telling her earlier.
"Do you want to sleep?" Lexa blurted out and a chuckle left her mouth.
"What?" Raven asked and Lexa just shook her head.
"Just let her go already Raven." Anya said and nudged Raven.
"Okay Frost. Don't nudge me." Raven let go of Lexa and immediately glares at the brunette that her words are still true.
"Ask me now so I can go to my room." Lexa crossed her arms, calming her nerves and she thinks the anger in her just went away when both of her friends let go of her arms.
"Do you like Clarke?" Raven asked right away.
Lexa blinked for a few times. "What?"
"She asked you if you like Clarke, I didn't know you were kind of deaf Lexa." Anya said.
Lexa glares at Anya even though she knows her friend is just joking at the second part of her statement. She also knows the first part is really a serious question. "Clarke's my friend." She said simple as that.
"That didn't answers my question." Raven said.
"Just answer the question Lexa." Octavia pointed out.
"I care about her." Lexa said.
"Oh, we know Lexa." Anya quipped.
"I have no idea why you guys are asking me this."
"Because we care about Clarke." Raven sighed and slumped back on the couch.
"What's with me in this kind of stuffs then." Lexa asked.
"You make her happy." Octavia said.
Lexa was taken aback, but to be honest she knows she makes Clarke happy and the blonde makes her happy too.
She looked at her best friend and she saw Anya nodded at her. Is it that obvious? Her gaze travels between her friends and it settled on her phone. She slowly leaned on and settled her shoulders on her legs. Lexa rubbed her face and fixed her hair.
"I do care about Clarke."
"You already said that." Raven said.
"More than a friend cares about their friends. I care about her in more of a romantic way and in every way. I just want her to be happy because she makes me happy too. Hell, I'll do anything for her if she'll just ask me." Lexa looked at Octavia then to Raven and it settled to Anya. "Yes, I do like Clarke so much, like a lot." She smile shyly and sighed. Lexa looks at the floor for a moment, waiting for her friends' reactions.
"Lexa?" Octavia called out. Lexa turned her head towards Octavia. The brunette connects her eyes with the other. Lexa was taken aback when Octavia suddenly leaned on her and she's like a ruler away from her. "I got to say this now, if you'll ever hurt Clarke please do know that I'll hunt you down and I think Raven's agrees with me. Well, I know Anya will do that also even she's your best friend. I just want you to know that okay? I know you're a great person, but when it comes to Clarke, there's no friendship for me." Octavia gives Lexa a smile and patted the brunette's shoulder and she went back on her position earlier. "Uhm what?" Octavia asked particularly nobody because all of them are just looking at her.
"Damn O, you still got it!" Raven high fived Octavia and they heard Anya chuckled.
"I think it worked pretty good." Octavia shrugged as she points out to the brunette who's still looking at her.
"You just paralyzed Lexa." Raven laughed.
Lexa was cut off in her thoughts of being scared in Clarke's friends by a hard thing connects on the back of her neck.
"Anya!" Lexa shouted.
"I was just helping you, thank you very much."
"By throwing a pillow at me? That's the second one!" Lexa groaned.
"Anyways, we all know you like Clarke, it's too obvious." Anya said.
"Yeah because I told you."
"Of course you did." Octavia quipped.
"You should tell her." Raven advised.
"That I like her?" Lexa asked and she immediately adds some more. "No way, what if she doesn't like me back. I don't want our friendship to be awkward and all. I'd rather keep it to myself than to see our friendship while it slowly crumbling down." Lexa said seriously.
To be honest, yes, Lexa would rather keep that to herself than to lose Clarke. The blonde has been a great addition to her life and she wouldn't trade that to anything. Maybe she deserve some happiness after all the things happened and she does feel that when she is with Clarke.
If the sky and the ground would ever let her that Clarke will ever return her feelings. Then that's the time she'll see the real life, but the only thing she's asking to herself for a very long time. Will she ever had the courage to tell Clarke that she likes her?
"No Lexa, that wasn't what I meant." Raven said.
If it wasn't it, then what?
"What are you talking about then?" Lexa looked at Raven.
"That you should tell Clarke that you're the commander." Raven replied and quirked her brow.
Lexa coughed loudly and she felt like choking by what Raven just said. She pats her chest trying calm down.
"Chill Lexa." Octavia pats Lexa's back lightly and chuckled. They got Lexa pretty badly.
"Raven, what did you just said?" Lexa asked once she was done coughing.
"What? That you should tell Clarke about you and the commander are one. Yeah, I think you should." Raven retorted.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about." Lexa side glare at Anya who just shrugged.
Her best friend is the only culprit here because no one will tell Raven about it. She and Anya are the only one who knows it, now four people knows it. Oh, Anya's really in trouble.
"Cut the shit out Lexa. Don't worry, you're not the only one who was shock by it. Which is, when..." Octavia pointed to Raven and Anya. "They went in our house last weekend and just suddenly blurted out that you becoming the commander, well, I'm not that surprised. When Cla-"
"Don't finish that O!" Raven cut off Octavia. Octavia confusedly looks at Raven. "Let Lexa find out herself."
"I'm not even the commander guys, what the hell?" Lexa tries to argue and looks at Anya for help, but her best friend just nodded. She's no help at all.
"Ask me how I'd known." Raven told Lexa.
"How the did you even got that kind of false information?"
"Anya told me." Raven immediately said.
Lexa looked at Anya, if looks could kill, her best friend's dead by now. "I have a reasonable explanation by why I did that."
"Wow An, that wasn't in the plan. I thought you'll just say yes or something." Raven grinned.
"Shut up Reyes!" Both Anya and Octavia said at the same time.
"Woah, okay!" Raven surrendered her hands.
"Uhm okay, what is going on?" Lexa said.
"I can answer that." Raven once again said. Her friends looked at her. Two pairs of eyes are death glares and a pair is just normal. "If Anya and Octavia will allow me though." She got a pair of nods and she smiled. "So the first part why we've known it because of that's for you to find out. Someone who almost got it out and I can't blame that person though, but the second part is because of Anya. I managed for her to tell me about it and Lexa don't deny it anymore because we already got you. So as I was saying when Anya told me about it, I already got this plan to get you both together. So it's all your choice or maybe decision to tell Clarke about it. One thing I want to say is, you got it Woods." Raven said and smiled brightly at Lexa.
Anya smacked Raven on the back of her head. Raven immediately whipped her head towards Anya looking at the girl like why the hell she did that. "Because that's actually my reasonable explanation thank you very much. Now my best friend will hate me for the rest of the week." Anya said and crossed her arms.
"Awe, I'll make it up to you An." Raven said and pinched Anya's cheeks.
Anya glares at Raven and the other woman immediately surrenders her hands. "Don't pinch me again."
"I was just trying to be cute here." Raven said.
"You aren't being one." Anya retorted.
"What do you want me to do then?" Raven asked, definitely will do anything what Anya will say.
"Whipped." Octavia snickered.
"Fuck off O and I'm not the only one here." Raven grinned.
"Can I go to my room now?" Lexa said.
"Nope, I'll be straight to the point now Lexa." Raven said and Lexa just nodded. "Can you admit that you are the commander?"
Lexa sighed because she knows there's no point of denying anymore. "Yes, I am the commander. Anything else?"
"Why did you do it?" Octavia asked.
"Because I wanted to be there for Clarke when I saw her broke up with Finn. Until now, I think she already moved on and I'm really happy with that because I'm one of the reasons why she's been happy from time to time."
"How do you do it?" Raven asked this time.
"Do what?"
"Texting her as the commander."
"I have two phones. It's actually hard when she's talking to me as the commander and just Lexa." Lexa shrugged.
"Well, you signed up for it." Raven pointed out.
"Yes I did and I never regretted it, never." Lexa said truthfully because she enjoys every bit of it.
"Can you answer my questions earlier?" Octavia asked.
"If who I was talking to?"
"Yes."
"It was Clarke and yes I'm texting her as the commander. She was telling me about when she put a sleeping pill in Raven's drink to stop her from doing some booming stuffs in their house. That's why I said earlier if you want to sleep." Lexa chuckled.
"Clarke did that?" Anya questioned as she laughs.
"She did, it was iconic. After like a minute of waiting, Raven was out cold." Octavia giggled.
"Remind me not to do this kind of stuffs for Clarke again." Raven shook her head.
"I think it's kind of cute." Anya winked at Raven and the woman felt flustered.
"You think?" Raven asked and Anya nodded.
"You two are gross." Lexa scrunched up her nose.
"Says the one who's the half of clexa." Raven quipped.
"clexa?" Lexa confusedly thought of it, but in the inside she likes it.
"Never mind about that. When will you tell Clarke about it?" Octavia asked once again.
"Honestly, I don't know." Lexa sighed and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.
She really have no idea when, as she said earlier. She doesn't want her friendship with Clarke to become awkward. Lexa could just forget about it, but she also knows that Clarke deserves to know the truth. Clarke has been a honest friend to her and she should do the same, but there will always have that doubt in her mind. Maybe the blonde will never want to be her friend again.
"You don't know or you're scared?" Raven said.
"I guess it's both but the latter is much more of it. I'm afraid of Clarke's reaction, what if she doesn't want to see me ever again. I don't want that because it's Clarke. I actually miss seeing her even now, I can't even believe I'm saying to guys about it, but yes I miss her. That's the scariest shit ever that will might ever occur in my life, Clarke not wanting to see me again. I just can't lose her, that's why I'm afraid to tell her." Lexa clenched her jaw and plays with her fingers. Anya noticed it, it's an indication of Lexa being nervous.
"Lex." Anya begun and Lexa whipped her head towards her best friend. Anya couldn't read this kind of Lexa, a blank expression looking towards her. "I don't know if you're mad at me or anything. But you know me when I do things, it's for the best and positivity is always the outcome, well sometimes though. Do you want to know what my say to this?" Anya asked and she got a nod. "You're Lexa and you know Clarke, you might be actually her favorite person in the whole world at this moment and yes Raven and Octavia is not her favorite people, you are. Clarke adores you so much and you adore her too. I think if you'll just trust yourself for it, you'll be fine Lex. I've been telling you this for a long time, you should tell her. It should be sooner than later Lexa, you know that. Her two best friends are here, what do you think of them being like this if everything will turn out a mess. At this moment, I know these two wants the best for Clarke and obviously you are on the top list of being an awesome friend for Clarke. Just think about what you can do more if something more happens between you two." Anya smiled at her best friend and nods.
"That's like the longest thing I've ever heard came out from your mouth An, damn." Raven said amazed.
"I agree with everything what Anya said, but there's a one thing that I'm not agreeing though." Octavia said.
"What is it?" Lexa shook her head.
"You being Clarke's favorite person."
"Because I'm her favorite person ever." Raven quipped.
"Hell no! I am!" Octavia retorted.
"Actually, I might think about it." Raven dramatically thought for a second. "And no you are not because I am Clarke's favorite person."
"Can you both stop with the nonsense." Anya raised her voice and both of them shut their mouth.
Raven cleared her throat and became serious again. "But all in all Lexa, I think Clarke deserve to know the truth. Maybe if you just think about telling her about it, everything will be fine. Trust me."
"Hard to trust if it's a Reyes." Lexa shrugged.
"I'm offended."
"Then trust me Lexa. Clarke would want the truth." Octavia said
"Much harder to trust if it's a Blake. Don't try it Anya because it's much more harder to trust a Frost." Lexa smiles.
"Then just trust us three then. We won't let you be alone with it, if you want, we can help you for it." Raven offers.
"I'll think about it, if that's alright with you guys."
"Yeah it's fine but just remember the things I've said earlier okay?" Octavia reminded her.
"I definitely will keep that in my mind O, trust me." Lexa chuckled.
"Treat Clarke better than her past fucking relationship that everyone of us wants to forget okay?" Raven adds.
"Definitely." Lexa nodded. Then suddenly it hits Lexa, she didn't even say she wants a relationship with Clarke and her friends are already implying that kind of stuffs already.
"They think it'll end up with that Lexa, so don't argue with them about it." Lexa heard Anya said, her best friend knows her too well.
But Lexa won't just let it slide of what Anya has done. She knows Anya just wants the best for her but it's still her decision. Actually she also wants to thanks Anya for doing it because at least she knows Raven and Octavia are not angry at her being the commander because they are even supportive about it and it really is the best thing, knowing some people supports you. She definitely will speak to Anya later.
"I've heard Clarke have plans for tonight." Lexa brought up.
"Actually we all have." Raven said.
"Why no one did told me about it because obviously I have no idea." Lexa said.
"Because it was just planned earlier and we went here to tell you about it and to know if you're the commander. The latter was a success, so will you come with us?" Octavia said excitedly.
"Lincoln's in town. I thought we should meet up with him tonight." Anya explained.
"Clarke's will be there." Raven adds.
"I know Raven thank you for the reminder." Lexa chuckled because she knows why her friend is doing that.
"Just making sure you'll come with us." Raven shrugged.
"Yes, I will go. It's been months since the last time I saw him, right An?"
"Yes, that's right. That's why I planned this, should I keep saying it or?"
"I think two reminders are enough." Raven said.
"Remind me again." Octavia quipped ad everyone glared at her. "Okay, I get it. He's coming, I'll see him. I don't need to be this much excited, but I am, you can't blame me." Octavia shrugged.
"Can she not come?" Raven asked.
"That can be arranged." Anya said and they chuckled except for Octavia.
"Actually, you guys can't leave me behind because if he's there then he'll be on his own. Raven's with Anya, Clarke's with Lexa, and y'all will just leave him? Think again bitches." Octavia grinned.
"She has a point." Lexa said and shrugged.
"Okay, you're still in. Lincoln could use also some company." Anya assured Octavia.
"Can someone remind Clarke about the plans again for tonight and she'll be picked up later." Raven said.
"I can do that and I also need to get ready for it. I guess I can get out of this couch now, right?" Lexa said and focused her gaze on Raven giving her friend a tight smile.
Raven nodded. "Yes you can Lexa and again just think about what we all said. We just want the best for Clarke."
"And don't worry we aren't mad that you're kind of playing Clarke for being two friends but actually just one. We know why you did it, so just don't go breaking our Clarke's heart. You know what will come to you." Octavia added seriously.
"Thank you guys, really. I know Clarke deserves the truth and I will give it to her. Not just today, I guess. And I didn't mean to play two different roles, but that just what happened." Lexa said sincerely.
"We know Lexa. We give you that." Raven assured her.
"Remember what all I said earlier Lexa. You may think I have no knowledge about it but trust me, I know much more than you." Anya grinned as she look at Raven.
Lexa gave Anya a small smile. "I guess you got some juices out of someone too. Well, that's understandable because we all know Raven can't shut her mouth."
Octavia looks at Anya and Raven back and forth and it hits her. Raven might have told Anya about Clarke liking Lexa. "Raven!"
"I know O, don't remind me. I guess it's just fair for Anya to know that because in the end we know Lexa is the commander." Raven sighed.
"She's going to kill you once she'll know that you told someone." Octavia said.
"She won't if no one will tell her." Raven replied.
"As much I'm enjoying knowing Clarke could kill Raven, but I'm getting curious by that thing you guys are talking about. I always can pry Anya, but I won't do that. So I think I'm going to my room now." Lexa said and she received a round of chuckles. She stood up from the couch, got her phone from the table and look at her friends. "You three enjoy the rest of the time while waiting. I'm just going to get ready."
Raven pats Lexa's lower back. "Okay, do your thing texting Clarke."
"As the commander because she's smiling earlier." Octavia snickered.
"Goodbye." Lexa shook her head and laughs by her friend's antics. She took some steps until she stops in front of Anya. Lexa leaned on, until she's on the side of her best friend's ear side. "An, I'm not mad at you and I'm actually thankful for you. We'll talk later, I promise. What you said earlier, I really appreciate it." Lexa retrieved herself and look at Anya, she smiled and puts her hand on Anya's shoulder and gave her a reassuring squeeze.
"Okay Lexa." Anya returned the smile.
Lexa went to her room before she close the door, she immediately heard her friends got into a conversation. Probably it's about her admitting that she's the commander. Lexa finally closed the door of her room. She flopped down on her bed and a sigh came out from her mouth.
She smile looking at the ceiling thinking about earlier. It actually felt right for Lexa telling her friends about it, it's like an information that people needs to know and when she finally tells them, it feels right. It really feels good in the inside.
But
The real person who needs to know about it, is Clarke. Lexa closed her eyes, seeing her beautiful best friend with those bluest eyes that she likes and her beautiful smile flashed through her. Oh, Lexa really likes Clarke so much.
Then a groaned left her mouth, remembering the things Raven, Octavia and Anya was talking about earlier. She didn't know about that 'I need to find out myself' it's making me want to really pry Anya, but I told them I won't, damn it!, Lexa thought.
Suddenly, she felt her phone buzzed.
Oh shit.
"Fuck!" Lexa sat up immediately, she forgot to reply to Clarke since her friends came and that's like almost an hour.
She opened the messages from Clarke, there's like three missed messages. She cursed herself again.
Clarke: I'll pretend you're studying right now or maybe you really do have a plan.
Clarke: Maybe tell me about that plan? That's a creeper but anyways, you there?
Clarke: Or you just fell asleep on five twenty seven pm. Just letting you know, I might not, well actually, I won't be here later the night, as I told you I have plans. Enjoy your night commander.
The last message was sent ten minutes ago. Lexa sighed and hope Clarke's not mad.
Commander: Clarke, I'm so sorry. I was caught up earlier, my friends were here. As I said, I have the vibes, they want me to go later with them and I hope you'll have fun in your own plans. If you'll have a chance later, then text me. Catch you later stranger.
Lexa reached out for her other phone on the nightstand to text Clarke, as Lexa this time.
Lexa: Hey Clarke, Raven told me to let you know again about Lincoln being in town and meeting him is still on the go. See you later beautiful.
Lexa waited for a minute to send it for a 'not suspicious time gap' well maybe Clarke won't be thinking that much though.
Her other phone buzzed, indicating a new text.
Clarke: Don't worry about it commander, it's fine. I actually got ready for tonight while you were gone. I got a text from Lexa about it, I guess I'll catch you up later then.
Commander: Enjoy your night Clarke.
Clarke: You too stranger :)
Lexa let out a smile and put aside her phone. This night she doesn't need it, probably when she came back home though. She put her attention on her other phone and see Clarke texted her.
Clarke: I knew you would come! Can't wait to meet your cousin Lex and looking forward to see you hot stuff.
Lexa: I might think you'll only be going just to see me.
Clarke: Maybe, who knows?
Lexa: You do know and maybe I'm looking forward to see you too.
This kind of normal flirting with Clarke in messages is the kind of moments she won't trade for anything. She likes when Clarke says small cute stuffs, it makes her smile.
Clarke: Of course you do, I know you're still not dressed. So get your beautiful gay ass up and get dress. I'll see you tonight.
Lexa: You're such an ass. I think Raven or O will pick you up, probably. I'll see you tonight.
Lexa didn't wait for a reply instead she get dress as Clarke told her, well it was her real intention by going in her room.
She heard the front door closed, she knows someone really picked up Clarke.
She'll see the blonde tonight and suddenly her friends' words came running through her head. Should she tell Clarke later? But the timing won't be right. She really is feeling the want to do it, but she told her friends she won't tell Clarke about it tonight.
Was it being the commander or liking her friend?
Maybe it could be both of it in one night, it could be though. The thing is, that's like double the nervousness she's going to feel. Can Lexa even take that much of nervousness in her own. Hell, she was nervous by Octavia earlier. Now, we're talking about Clarke. Her beautiful best friend, that she'll see later.
Well, shit.
clexclexaclexaclexaclexaclexa
Lexa's sitting on a bar stool, a light drink in hand, it won't make her drunk. Just a little boost because Anya and Lincoln won't let her live if she won't drink even one. If anyone don't see the obvious, all of them are legal to drink.
Anya, Lexa, and Octavia were all together and went to the small bar to meet Lincoln. Octavia won't let the first time to see the guy that everyone's talking about since last week, that's why Raven was the one who picked up Clarke.
Lexa tug another swig as she thought about Clarke, specifically the things they have been talking about. Lexa closed her eyes and took a breathe.
She's just sitting there with Anya by her side, because when they went in the bar, like half an hour ago, Lincoln and Octavia already hit on each other. Now both of them are on the dance floor, at first they just catch up, but then that happened.
She and Anya are waiting for the other two women to arrive and Lexa doesn't even know if Anya's talking beside her.
Her surroundings were block out at the moment. She doesn't know how to process right because of her heavy thoughts. She can't even blame herself by it because it's about her and Clarke actually.
About her liking Clarke, that's a light matter, well kind of.
Then there's Lexa being the commander that she already needs to tell Clarke about it, that's the bigger matter.
Lexa groaned and finally took the last swig of her drink, for boost? No, maybe to encourage? Maybe for confidence, for what? To tell Clarke? She abandoned the glass on the side.
Suddenly a hand was on her left shoulder. Lexa whipped her head and it's Anya, of course.
"I didn't imagine talking to you about anything regarding to what have happened earlier, in this bar." Lexa grinned.
Anya playfully shoved Lexa who also pretend who was hurt. "Shut up and hear me out, will ya?"
"Shoot." Lexa cringed with her chose word. She doesn't know why, but the bad vibes is overwhelming with that.
"I actually can hear your thought and it's deafening."
"I didn't tell you to hear though."
"I'm just trying to help you Lexa. I think you should calm yourself. I know you're thinking about telling Clarke it, but remember that no one is rushing you. It's your decision, but as I said, sooner than later. But not just tonight or maybe next week, it's your choice." Anya took a swig of the drink in her hand as she finished what she was saying.
Lexa look at her best friend and smiled. "I know Anya. I don't know why you're so great at reading people, especially me. I thought we're just the nerds one."
"Correction, you're the nerd one, I'm not. I'm your best friend, of course I could see through you." Anya said.
"I am not." Lexa defended.
"Yeah, keep denying, but Lexa you know the truth."
"The truth is we both are."
"Well, I agree, just a little bit." Anya winked and Lexa made face.
Lexa turned her stool and look at her cousin dancing with Octavia. "But seriously, thank you Anya. You're amazing."
"I know that I am amazing thank you for telling me again." Anya chuckled.
"Don't get your head too big." Lexa said.
"When did I eve-" Anya stopped talking when she saw Raven with Clarke coming to their way. "Hey Clarke!" She greeted and smile to both Raven and Clarke.
Lexa whipped her head towards to the new comers and her eyes immediately lands to the blonde beauty in front of her.
Clarke's wearing a red plaid that really hugs every curves of her body and Lexa needs to keep her eyes up. That skin tight jeans, oh man, she's wearing an army boots and her hair is beautifully laid on the sides of her shoulders.
"Clarke." The way Lexa says Clarke's name really gives chills through the blonde's spine.
Clarke smirked as she obviously knew Lexa's checking her out. "Lexa."
"Okay, before you two tear each other's clothes with your own eyes. I'm going to steal my girl here and maybe she'll introduce me to that Lincoln guy and I think O really likes his company as I'm seeing right now." Raven smirked looking at the dance floor. "So Clarke, just don't forget to meet that guy tonight, not just talking to Lexa, okay?" Raven winked at Clarke and pats Lexa's shoulder. Raven gripped on Anya's collar and slowly drags her to the dance floor.
Anya just gave both her friends a shook in her head and teasing smirks.
"Raven's going to top Anya all day long." Clarke said and chuckled.
"Actually, not that of being a bias, but in that soft outer look of Anya, she'll definitely top Raven." Lexa quirked her brow while looking at Clarke.
"Can we stop talking about our friends' sex life?" Clarke said.
"That can we do, want to go out here?" Lexa asked and she saw the playful look in those blue eyes. She suddenly cursed herself in her head. "Not what I meant, you know, we can just be outside. No loud music and the stench of this place is kind of hard to take in." Lexa shrugged.
"Well, you're actually smells like it, but don't worry it's a good thing." Clarke winked on Lexa and offers her hand. "I'm all in, in your offer."
Lexa looks at Clarke's offered hand and to her friend's face. She took her hand and felt a reassuring squeeze. Lexa's hand felt nice with Clarke's and it really feels right, that's also what Clarke's thinking too. "Let's go take a walk."
Clarke nodded and smiled at Lexa, that the brunette returned it. Lexa's not minding by Clarke's taking over where they're going as they exited the small pub. The breeze of the air hits them both, tingles they're feeling, not because of the air. It because of them walking side by side, hands were intact.
Both of them doesn't know where they were going because no one of them both is actually paying attention in the surroundings and they both are not complaining about it.
No exchange words since they got out of the pub, just small glance at each other's side. Smiles being exchanged, but no one breaks the interlocked hands because they don't want to miss the contact of each other's presence.
Clarke looked around and they walking on a path and there's a bench in a distance. They could just sit on it and maybe talk for a while. But the time is on their hands, they don't want to go in a rush, they both just enjoy the feels. Lights from the posts emitting, catches Lexa's beautiful skin that goes well as they walk on a path of trees. Clarke stole a glimpse of Lexa and she does look so beautiful. Clarke took a breathe in and closed her eyes in a second, felt herself smiling. It so good to feel that the person you like is besides you, holding your hand, just enjoying the peaceful scenery with you.
Lexa noticed the way Clarke looked at her side, she felt herself blushing, and good thing the woman beside her immediately broke that gaze. Light coming from the moon, as it sounds cheesy, but it really compliments Clarke's eyes when it hits it. Lexa knows how beautiful Clarke is and she's just thankful to have someone like Clarke in her life.
Then again, the thoughts of wanting to tell Clarke the whole truth just hits her with a blitz. Lexa can feel the real boost coming up through her because of the drink earlier. She can feel the confidence in her slightly building up. What she didn't expected, her thumb gaze on Clarke's knuckles and keep doing what she's doing. Lexa looked at Clarke and the shyness on her by the action she just made is over the edge. Then she felt Clarke did the same, it really felt right.
They both stop in front of a bench and sat down. Realizing in the entire time they're walking, their hands are interlocked. Both slowly slid their fingers out of each other's grips and when they succeed on it, they already felt the longing.
The pub wasn't that much far to them, they could still see the lights of it.
Lexa looks around and gripped the edge of the bench, whilst Clarke relaxed her back on it.
"It really feels nice out here." Clarke said.
"It does, thanks for coming here with me." Lexa smiled at Clarke.
"No problem at all Lex and I'd rather just sit here with you all night long than to hear loud music." Clarke shrugged.
"I'd assume, you just came with me because you don't want to deal with our friends back there."
"Uhm, maybe who knows." Clarke jokes.
"I can truly relate." Lexa agrees and chuckles.
"I'm kidding, you know that. I actually like being just by your side." Clarke confessed and swallowed the lump in her throat, what if Lexa would find that weird.
"Your company is not that bad." Lexa shrugged and laughs.
"I'm offended Lexa." Clarke said playfully.
Lexa turned to face Clarke and ruffled her hair. "You signed up for it, now you need to suck it up." She smirked.
That smirk oh god, Clarke thought.
"I actually miss you." Clarke blurted out and saw that softness came into Lexa's eyes. She loves when Lexa does that, it feels different when she see that. It's like, there are those feelings that Lexa only feels when she's with Clarke.
Lexa's mind came running thoughts by thought because of that. She do also miss Clarke, but is that even normal to feel when they last saw each other was like yesterday and they basically catches up with each other on texts.
Her eyes soften, in any minute she could tell Clarke the truth that she deserved. Lexa blinked for a couple of times and sighed. She literally could feel the back of her tongue wants it to get it out on the spot, with a little help of the drink earlier. Lexa rested her hands on her legs and balled her fists and relaxed it. "I miss you too."
"We're buddies who miss each other immediately. I think no one can tame us." Clarke giggled, that sound makes Lexa smile.
"Clarke." Lexa whispers.
Clarke looks at Lexa intently and she doesn't have any idea why the brunette is like this, but it feels like there's more to it.
She heard the way Lexa said her name with softness in it and the way the 'k' just rolls in Lexa's mouth sounds good.
"What is it Lexa?" Clarke leaned on a little because it seems a serious thing.
Lexa clenched her jaw and steady her breathing. "I want to tell you something." She's really going to do it, now. Clarke is too good to be kept on a shadow. Lexa and everyone knew she needs to know the truth.
"Tell me Lexa, I'm not going anywhere." Clarke assured Lexa and gives a light squeeze on her hand.
"Okay." Lexa really appreciates how Clarke is so caring. She's so amazing and I'm willing to risk it all just to tell Clarke the truth, Lexa thought. If their friendship is on the line, she doesn't have the final say. She knows that she just contradicted herself by her statements to her friends earlier, but she just can't hold it any longer. "You know for the past months that I'm friends with you, were literally the best moments I had. I'm also looking forward for it more, I hope."
"As it is for me and we just think the same way." Clarke said and smiles at Lexa.
"Good to know, but I didn't become mo - more..." Lexa felt herself wanting to scream, she doesn't even know how to form a words.
"What you didn't become Lexa?" Clarke asked and she can see the nervousness all over the brunette's features.
"That I - I..." Lexa look at those blue eyes in front of her. "That I didn't become more honest to you."
Clarke looks at Lexa confusedly. "What do you mean by that?"
Lexa took a last one deep breathe. "Clarke, you deserve to know that..." Lexa knew when she finally tells Clarke about her being the commander. She doesn't know what will her reaction. "That the person you're talk-"
"I never thought I'd see you both out here. It must really be a destiny."

Well, the kru knows that Lexa and the commander are one now, but that still leaves Clarke out of it.
Uhm, guess who that was? Can I just ask who thought I'll let Lexa confess already?
