Chapter 9
"I never thought I'd see you both out here. It must really be a destiny."
Lexa looked at the person standing in front of her and Clarke in disgust, pure anger in her eyes. It's all fresh what have happened that day in her memories. She immediately stood up and put herself in between the person and Clarke. Lexa just felt the need to protect the blonde.
Yup, it must really be a fucking bad luck of a destiny.
Lexa was about to confess to Clarke. She knew she would have done it. She was words away from it. If she had said it, burdens on her shoulders would have lessened. Talking about burdens, that wasn't a bad burden, but a good one. It contains truthfulness and honesty.
In the other hand, she doesn't know now when will she ever had this kind of confidence in her. Hell, just looking at Clarke while they were sitting on the bench makes her knees go weak. That's just over, but she really does feel like it.
Lexa clenched her jaw thinking about if she had said it, many possible things could have gone wrong, and like Clarke's palm connecting to her cheeks and Lexa will watch Clarke walks away from her that would include tears in the brunette eyes.
Lexa compose herself once again, trying not to think what was about to happen earlier, but it's making her work hard. Thanks to the person who interrupted them, now her plans are all ruined. Maybe, she'll have Clarke go all over her asking about it, but she knows she won't ready to tell it, again.
The thing is how this person even found them in the middle of the night and like in 'not too much people go around here' this area. Just the great timing, great timing by this asshole, Finn Collins.
"How did you found us?" Lexa asked harshly and still looking at the guy with dagger looks.
"Hello to you too, Lexa right? I must say, you hit me pretty hard the last time I saw you." Finn held his jaw and chuckled.
"Yeah? I'll do it again if you try anything and won't answer my goddamn question." Lexa felt a soothing hand behind her back, but Clarke knows when Lexa's in this kind of her side. The effect of her is just not too much of a strong effect. Lexa tried to steady her breathing letting Clarke know that she is a little calm.
"That how did I found you both?" Finn reached out for Lexa's hair and was about to graze his fingertips on it, but before he could lay a finger on Lexa, she immediately slapped away his hand. That made him laughed and shook his head. "I see, still a bad woman. If you're still asking how'd I found you guys, it's easy. I was in the bar with my friends, no, I'm not stalking anyone of you, good thing no one noticed me though. I excused myself when I saw you both exit the bar. I might add, both of you are holding hands and followed you both slowly. Now we are here." Finn turned his attention to Clarke. "Griffin, I never thought you'll be looking for someone else immediately and it's a girl, which is disgusting. I'm a little bit disappointed, you could do better." He shrugged.
This time, Clarke's both hands on her side are white tight sheet closed. "Leave Lexa out of this Finn." She said with that cold tone.
Lexa blinked for a few times, feeling the adrenaline rush from her drink earlier. She knew Finn's words affected Clarke based on her voice tone, which is a turn on. Lexa, calm your pits at this time, we don't need that.
"But she's in it now princess, did you decide what your answer is for me the last time we spoke?" He asked Clarke as the confidence in himself is so high.
Clarke thought about what have happened that time, but there's nothing. He never asked something to her, he was just full of himself and being an asshole. "The last time I checked you were just being a dick to me and my friends."
"Understandable, I might not have said it the last time. I'll say it now, you know, we should get back together." He grinned ear to ear. "It's a win win, I know you still feel something for me because the feeling is mutual." He said with a matching enthusiasm. Finn wouldn't let anyone have Clarke, he knows he broke up with her, but he never thought seeing her with someone else would make him feel a downgraded person in the Grounder high. Why? Because he and Clarke was a known couple before anything happened, but when they broke up, the attention to him was low and it was all to Clarke and Lexa. That's why he's doing this, he just want his position in the school to get higher once again, totally just using Clarke.
"Hey buddy? Why don't you just shut the hell up because you cannot just tell Clarke what she should do." Lexa stepped a little forward and Clarke knows Finn just tipped off something inside the brunette.
Lexa wouldn't let anyone just talk to Clarke, that she's someone who you can break and when it is fixed, you'll just decides to go back and retrieved it. That's not how it works.
"I'm not talking to you and I don't care what you have to say to this, because you're just someone who Clarke befriended with and let's face the fact that Clarke will abandon you at the end." Finn said and by that Clarke could see red flashes while she looks at the man.
A shaking body in front of her. She could feel Lexa is really pissed this time. Clarke knew what she needed to do, she gripped Lexa's waist. Not wanting to break the grip because she knows Lexa wants to jump on Finn and beat the shit out of him already.
One thing Clarke want is, Lexa won't believe what Finn just said because Lexa never been someone who could she just played and abandon at the end. Clarke is not that person and Finn is really being a big asshole who thinks about himself only.
Clarke tried to step forward, but Lexa didn't let her. Clarke glance at Lexa and their eyes met, green to blue, but this time Clarke sees how dark Lexa's eyes are. Clarke saw Lexa nodded at her letting the blonde know that she's not believing Finn, Lexa knows what's the truth to not. Clarke stopped her attempt from stepping forward but still holds Lexa's forearm.
"Finn, how high of you saying those irrelevant things to me and how can you call yourself a man if you're fighting with a woman. One more thing is I will say this one more time again." Lexa looked at the man in the eye with pure hate in her eyes, but all she could sense in Finn is he's playing the exchange, such a jerk. "You need to stay away to Clarke ever again because you both are done, which by the way I need to remind you, you're the one who broke up with her and stop being such an asshole and stop acting like you own her, because you don't. It's your lost not hers. I just can't watch you anymore telling Clarke what to do with her life, she's not yours, remember that." Lexa clenched her jaw at the end of her statement and tries to calm herself down.
"If she's not mine then what is she? Is she even yours? Are you both even together? Stop being like a protective girlfriend." Finn chuckled.
Lexa felt a pang in her chest and her whole body felt numb by those words. She knows Finn is right. It's just unfair of how can be destiny of them meeting Finn again just become tonight. She didn't ask to fall hard to Clarke, but it just did because it felt really nice, no, it felt great and right.
What Lexa really knows, after whatever this confrontation is, she will tell Clarke about all the truth. Not just tonight because it's all ruined.
Clarke felt Lexa's frame just become soft. Was Lexa affected by Finn's words? Clarke curses Finn her head and she doesn't even know how many times she already did it.
"She's my friend."
Clarke heard Lexa's words and now she knows, his words really affected the brunette. She could hear the sadness of how Lexa said it and how regretful? It feels like Lexa wants to tell her about something that she couldn't figure it out.
Was it something with what Lexa was about to say earlier? Clarke wouldn't know as long as Finn is still here.
She knows she needs to do something before this all become handy. She doesn't care if Lexa would stop her, but Clarke just suddenly went in front of Lexa and hid the brunette's frame away from the man.
"What is this now? Both of you protecting each other, how cute is that." Finn said.
Lexa is still behind Clarke, not knowing what's happening because of Finn's words still ringing through her mind. Her surroundings are all muted, but her main focused is the woman in front of her. Lexa couldn't move, she should be the one who's protecting Clarke right now, but she's being weak and decided to let Clarke took over.
"Do you want my answer to your question Finn?" Clarke ignored Finn's statement about them protecting each other. She just needed to end this now.
"Of course I do Clarke." Finn flashed his half smile that even a bit Clarke never missed.
Clarke didn't liked the way her name came out from Finn's mouth, it felt weird. It doesn't have the way her name was pronounced by Lexa, the way the 'r' rolls in Lexa's mouth is just amazing. Clarke cursed herself because she should stop fantasizing about how Lexa pronounce her name right now.
Lexa's mind runs through every possibility why Clarke's going to answer's Finn question. What if Clarke decided to get back with him? What if she realized the she still has feelings for Finn? What if, those are the questions in Lexa's mind. She wants to scream at Clarke, wanting to tell her not to do it, but she can't.
"I don't want you anymore, so I want you to do me a favor." Lexa heard Clarke said those and her whole world just lit with happiness and want to screams at Finn 'take that bitch!' but she'll let Clarke finish what she started. "Don't ever talk to me or any of my friends and hell, help me god, if you ever go near to Lexa I will fucking kill you. I'll be happy to do that with Raven and Octavia, if that wasn't enough I'll have Anya too. Just leave us all alone." Clarke said to Finn.
Did Clarke really defended Lexa? The brunette blinked a few times trying to take in all what Clarke just said. She did threatened Finn if he'll go near Lexa, Clarke will kill him. Lexa felt herself having a small smile displayed on her features. She squeezed Clarke's forearm telling the blonde she appreciates what she has done. Everyone knows that Lexa would do the same just to protect Clarke.
Lexa wants to know is, how did she deserve to have Clarke in her life?
"No, no no no, no! You need to get back with me Clarke." Finn rambles because he couldn't take no for an answer. He needs Clarke in his life, in his selfish life. He took a step forward to Clarke.
"Don't you dare take that step." Clarke threatened, but Finn wouldn't budged.
"Clarke, please get back to me. I need you." Finn said with his pleading look that made Clarke cringed because after all what have happened, he's like this.
"I have no feelings for you Finn, I think I never had and I will never get back with you again. You're right, I will thank you for breaking up with me. Now, I really thank you for breaking up with me because after all what happened, I gained two best people in my life, Anya and Lexa. I couldn't asked for more." Clarke said with that genuine smile on her.
"I know you're lying to yourself Clarke, it's now or never." Finn tried again and his anger is slow building up in him. He clenched his jaw as he watched Clarke shook her head and she has that bitch face. He doesn't appreciate that look, he closed his fist and waits for Clarke's answer again.
"I'm not going to change my mind and if I'll ever do that, I'd rather be with a girl than you of all people." Clarke chuckled and really felt good by saying and what she means by that. She rather be with Lexa than to anyone. Clarke knows she really likes Lexa so much and her friends know it, she just want all these strings with Finn to be cut off and she just want to live her life in peace. After all, this is their last year in high school.
Finn felt red, he can feel anger in his body. He knows when Clarke is done, she really is done. He also know he's drunk, he took a deep breathe and look at Clarke, all he sees is the woman who turned him down. What really pissed him off is Clarke saying she's rather be with a girl than him. He didn't know what came up, but his anger is radiating as he focus his vision in Clarke. Suddenly a loud sound by two skins connecting echoed their surroundings. His right hand's hanging in the air and Clarke's face was tinted with red shade.
He knows he should never have done that, it's still Clarke, the one who made him smile in some point of his life, but he already did it and couldn't ever take it back. Before he could regret what he has done, a fist connected on his right cheek. He stumbled down on the ground and looked at the owner of that attack, it's Lexa.
"You fucking bitch!" Lexa shouted as she settled on Finn and connected her fist on his face once again. She saw flash red and only red on Finn's face. Lexa gripped Finn's collar and pull it on to face him. "Why did you do that?! You fucking asshole!" Lexa threw another punch on his face and then another. Lexa's hand hurts from punching Finn's face. She could hear Clarke on the background telling her to stop and when she heard her name in a soft voice, she stopped. She lowered Finn's collar and looked at Clarke behind her and she see tears on those blue eyes.
Is she the one who caused that? Lexa felt panic because she never wanted to make Clarke cry, but her eyes went to Clarke's cheek, the fresh red print of Finn's hand is still on there. She again felt her anger rose up to her.
"Lexa!" Clarke shouted, a warning sound.
She turned to Finn and a fist connects to her cheek. She tasted copper in her mouth and she knows Finn hit her hard. She stood up, so does Finn. Lexa wiped off the blood on the side of her mouth and put up her defense.
"I told you to stay out of this!" Finn tried to connect another blow, but due to kind of blurry vision, he didn't saw Lexa's fist below him. That fist connected with his stomach and he can feel his body shook, but no, he won't give up without a fight. Lexa was about to punch Finn on the left side, but he dodged from it and this time, he connected his fist on Lexa's side. Lexa felt the pain on her side. "Don't make me do this Lexa." Finn said but after all what the brunette did to him, he suddenly let his surroundings be black and just focus to the one person in front of him.
Clarke saw the blow that Finn unleashed on Lexa's side and she felt anger in her. How could Finn do that to a woman? To Lexa. Clarke saw a small cut on the side of Lexa's mouth and all she wanted to do is run to Lexa's side. She knows Lexa's doing this because Finn slapped her across the face. Honestly, Clarke couldn't blame him because she knows her words really got into him.
"I'm not making you do this, you're doing it." Lexa said and charged towards Finn. She tackled the boy on a post, even she has that female frame, and it's not a foreign concept that Lexa has a good bod. When Finn hit the post, Lexa heard Finn groaned because of the pain. She gave Finn another punch on his face and again gripped the collar of his shirt and made him look at her. "I'll make this one clear again, if you ever lay another finger on Clarke or any of my friends, you won't just receive what you got just now. You hurt Clarke, for god sake." Lexa tries not to think about him hurting Clarke because she really might hit the boy again. She calmed herself a little and continues. "The year is almost ending. I hope you know what you're going to do for the rest of it. Don't ever come near Clarke again." After that she released her hold on his collar. But when Lexa stepped back, Finn pushed her. He raised his hand to attack once again and it connected to Lexa's jaw, the brunette felt her face was going to tear into two, but she still managed to stand up. Her hand on her side and other is for her defense.
"Finn stop!" Clarke's voice ringing through from the distance. Lexa could sense concern in the blonde's voice and her eyes suddenly felt lighter.
Finn wouldn't even listen to that, but in fact he still wants to go for another punch, before that could happen. He saw a masculine guy and three other women currently running behind him towards them. When he focuses his vision, he suddenly remembers, the guy is the one with Lexa earlier. He seems pretty tense about it that's why he didn't do what he needs to do, but he just ran away and while doing that, he nudged Lexa's shoulder and that made the woman stumbled down the ground.
When Clarke saw the people running towards them, she knew texting Raven was a great idea. She watched as Finn made Lexa stumbled down on the ground and he just ran away, a hand on his side. Clarke knows Lexa really put a good fight, but then she looked at Lexa, she immediately went on the brunette's side and checks on her.
Clarke got a clear view of Lexa's face, she saw bruises on her cheek, jaw and a small cut on her lower lip. She looked down, not wanting to meet the green orbs staring at her, her eyes suddenly connects with Lexa's hand. She see Lexa's damaged knuckles, that's when she lost it. Clarke closed her eyes and let out a small sob.
Lexa watched as Clarke looked down, not wanting to see her and it felt horrible than Finn's fists punching her face. Her eyes went wide as she heard a sob came out of Clarke. She tried to sit back and she hissed when she felt the pain runs through her side that made Clarke to look at her. Lexa see the tears rolled down from Clarke's eyes and all she wants is to wrap her arms around Clarke. "Clarke, talk to me." She reached out for Clarke's cheek, where Finn slapped her. Lexa slowly caressed it and she could feel Clarke slowly leaning on by her touches, it made her smile.
Clarke sees that smile and she remembers why she's crying. She sat up properly and smacked Lexa's shoulder, even the brunette's side is still in pain. She heard Lexa groaned and she chuckled. "Don't ever do that again!" A tear rolled down from her eyes and Lexa looked at her in confusion, but wiped off that tear.
"What did I do now?" Lexa said trying to be enthusiastic.
"You beat the shit out of Finn and that also backfired to you." Clarke said and based on her tone, she's concerned.
"I should have seen that!" A voice came from out of nowhere and when the two woman looked up, it's from Raven. The people around her let out a laugh, but all of them are concerned to Lexa and Clarke.
Anya travelled her eyes on Lexa's frame, trying to find the damages she got from Finn. When her eyes focus on Lexa's face, her stare became ice and her mind is only seeing the man's face that caused her best friend to be hurt like this. She clenched her jaw and closed her both fist. If Anya will ever see Finn anywhere near any of them, she know she won't stop herself from beating Finn. Her thought of different ways how to beat up Finn was broken by a voice.
"An."
When she heard that voice, her stance suddenly broke and looked at the owner of that sound. "You're such an ass Lexa." She shook her head and chuckled.
"You love me and stop plotting of how you will get back to Finn in your mind, I'm fin-" Before she could finished what she's about to say. Lexa hissed when she felt someone poked her side.
"You're not fine." Clarke shrugged and looked at her innocently.
"But seriously An, don't come near of him. I know I made myself clear to him, but he won't listen. Clarke also ended everything with him, but he couldn't take no so he slapped her, that's why we obviously had some exchanged physically interaction to each other. But I am really fine." Lexa said so her friends will not be more intense at the moment. She could feel Lincoln don't like her current condition right now because she's his cousin.
"Finn slapped Clarke?!" Octavia's anger in her voice rang through the place.
"He did?" Raven said and looked at Clarke, who just hanged her head low, then she looked at Lexa and all she sees is how her glare is still firing about what just happened earlier. That just confirmed it all. "I'm going to kill that bitch."
"Count me in." Octavia said as she balled her fist. No one should mess with her friends, that man slapped Clarke and fought Lexa.
"I have a good plan." Anya said and totally not minding the words came from Lexa because she just wants to fight back. She knows why Lexa did it, to protect Clarke.
She and her friends know that Clarke means a lot to Lexa that's why Anya couldn't blame her best friend by doing what she did. She also knows, like what had happened in the campus, Lexa did the right thing. If Lexa's in the zone no one could stop her. She thinks that's why Clarke texted Raven than to dealt with the brunette alone, which is a great decision.
Anya felt a hand on her shoulder and she heard Lincoln speak up. "How about you three do that in other time and help our girls who are currently both on the ground." He patted Anya's shoulder and looked at her seriously telling her by eyes that 'stop being a savage at the moment' and help her friend.
Raven and Octavia just shrugged but they knew they couldn't let Finn out of this. They both came beside Clarke and helped the blonde to get up, but she's fine and just let out an appreciation smile.
Clarke watched Anya and Lincoln helping Lexa to get up, but when Lexa put a shoulder on Lincoln on the left side she hissed, but still stood up.
Anya secured her arm around her friend and suddenly smacked Lexa's head. "Don't do that again." Anya said and laughed as Lexa glared at her who just shrugged.
Lexa turned her gaze and looked at Clarke in the eye. "I'm not making any promises." She smiled at the blonde who returned it.
"Can I take Lexa home?" Clarke blurted out and everyone looked at her. She heard her friends snickered beside her and she secretly nudges them.
"Griffin, you know you can always take me to your house." Lexa smirked at Clarke.
Lincoln looked at them back and forth, he saw a blush on the woman named Clarke and his cousin is in her flirty side, typical Lexa.
"Clarke right?" Lincoln asked and Clarke nodded. "I'm Lincoln, Lexa's cousin." He shook Clarke's hand.
"I'm sorry we met at this kind of scenery and I take full blame by what have happened to your cousin." Clarke said and Octavia looked at her that seems telling is she insane by saying that.
"Can anyone of you shut Clarke's mouth by saying that?" Lexa said because she doesn't even blame Clarke by any of the things happened. She's one of the reasons why it happened.
"I'm on it."
"Yes."
Two people said at the same time and four hands covered Clarke's mouth. Clarke looked at her best friends and tries to break the hold by the two women, but she's too weak.
"Is this normal?" Lincoln asked no one in particular.
"Don't ask." Anya shook her head.
"Let Clarke go now you idiots." Lexa chuckled and a laugh left her mouth.
The two obliged and just laughed too.
"I hate you all." Clarke groaned and went beside Lexa. "You okay buddy?" Clarke asked Lexa and looked at Anya, signalling she'll take her position beside the injured woman. Anya looked at Clarke for a moment and nodded. She slowly slid her arm around the brunette whose frame became suddenly soft and calmed by the contact.
Lincoln noticed that and he looked at Anya. The woman just shrugged and went beside Raven. He felt Lexa's arm around him loosen, seems like she's all comfortable with Clarke being by her side. Lincoln looked at Clarke whose attention is on Lexa. "You'll take care of her?" He asked.
Clarke and Lexa turned to face Lincoln. "Yes, I will."
"I can feel the undying love in that." Raven said dramatically and laughed when Clarke glared at her.
"Take the car Clarke and drive home with Lexa. Lincoln and I will use his car to go home." Anya said and tossed her car keys towards Clarke's direction, who caught it with one hand.
"Thank you Anya." Clarke smiled at her friend and she looked at Lincoln again. "I'm sorry for meeting you like this, I swear I'm way more better than this." She chuckled.
"She is and I'm guessing there'll be part two of this. Well not the fighting thing, but the get together." Octavia said with excitement as she thought of seeing the man again in other time.
"Okay, she's exploding now. We should all take a rest." Raven shook her head.
"Could you drop Raven and Octavia in their houses?" Lexa asked her cousin.
"Of course, I wouldn't let these ladies took cab by their selves." He smiled.
They all walked to the parking lot with mixed of emotions, anger from different people and pain from Clarke and Lexa.
Lexa leaned on to Lincoln a little and whispered something. "Octavia's a great girl, just treat her right, her friends will like you." Lincoln couldn't deny it though, Lexa's always like that who could read you immediately.
"You need to tell me more about this Clarke girl Lexa and I don't like seeing you being beaten up by someone especially a man. If I'll ever see whoever did this to you, you know I won't think twice." Lincoln replied.
"I want you to meet her in another way better than this happenings, she's amazing." Lexa whispered her words because the blonde is just beside her. "Just don't go planning revenge with Anya and those two because I'm really fine."
"I know she is, just by the way you look at her and why you did this for her is enough of an explanation and I make no promises by that plan though." He shrugged and Lexa just smiled at him. Lincoln knows Lexa likes this Clarke girl. He knows how to read Lexa easily as vice versa. He also knows that Clarke is a great person for Lexa, he definitely wants to get to know her.
They arrived in the parking lot and Clarke and Lincoln immediately put Lexa on the side of the driver's seat.
"Stay still." Clarke told Lexa who obliged, the others just snickered by that.
"I guess I'll see you around Griffin." Raven told her best friend and hugs her. "I told you, Lexa's great for you." Raven whispered on her side and she's right. Clarke remembered the text Raven sent her 'whether they're two people or not, but as you said they might be one. Trust your instincts Clarke, but all I got to say is, Lexa is great for you, no doubt' this is why she loves her friendship with Raven.
"Thank you." She said.
Raven broke the hug and looked at her intently. "We will talk about this." Raven said talking about the Finn incident. Raven looked at Lexa and smirked. "You look like shit Woods." She chuckled.
"You too Reyes." Lexa replied and let out a laugh.
"Well that made us both and Octavia too though. You just got a point from me by doing what you did." Raven winked at the brunette who looked at her confusedly, suddenly a shoulder nudged her side, and it's Clarke's.
"Alright, c'mon now Raven. You said your piece, I want to go home." Octavia held Raven's shirt and drags her. "You two be safe okay? Clarke we're not done and Lexa you also got my point." Before Clarke could nudge her both her and Raven just walked away high fiving each other.
"They're such a child." Anya shook her head and looked at Clarke. "Take care of her will ya?" She said.
"You know I will." Clarke assured Anya who just nodded.
"Don't be a pain in the ass to Clarke and let her fix you okay?" Anya told Lexa.
"I get it, get out now. Thank you." Lexa huffed in annoyance.
"She's a child too, good luck with that." Anya laughed and walked towards Lincoln's car.
That finally leaves Lincoln, Clarke, and Lexa.
"Aren't you going to follow them Linc?" Lexa asked.
"I will, in a second." Lincoln told Lexa who nodded.
"What's up?" Clarke asked the man.
"We should all do this again, but in much more peaceful surroundings though. I would like to get to know you better as your friends described you." Lincoln said to Clarke.
"Of course, Lexa would love that." Clarke turned to Lexa nodded in agreement.
"Okay then, I guess I'll see you both around."
"We'll see you soon." Clarke said.
"Take care of her okay?" Lincoln finally said and he got a nod. He bid his farewell to Lexa and went to his car.
Clarke went to the driver's seat and starts the car. She put her hand on Lexa's leg and squeezed it. They just both stared at each other, no words were exchanged. They knew what the other's want, just a peace silent interaction.
Lexa appreciates how deeply Clarke cares about her and offers to take care of her. She know she's in great hands, but then there's these thoughts knowing Clarke will ask her about the broken conversation they had back in the place. What she just needs right now is a soothing company of Clarke.
Clarke's mind runs through every possible thing she could think of. Lexa and her words, Finn being an asshole, and then Lexa again for being an awesome friend saving her once again. She sighed and gripped the steering wheel and drove her way their house, good thing she didn't drink any tonight.

Lexa hissed as the ice pack connected on her cheek.
"Griffin, chill with the ice." Lexa said.
"I thought you're okay, I'm just trying to help." Clarke teased as she reached out for Lexa's right hand. When she sees the bruised knuckles, she closed her eyes.
Lexa saw it, she knows Clarke's blaming herself by what had happened, but Lexa blames only one person, and it's Finn. Lexa put her free hand on Clarke's cheek and slowly caressed it. "Clarke, it's not your fault."
Clarke felt the soft hand on her cheek. It felt good, Lexa's hand felt good. She slowly opened her eyes and she immediately saw those green orbs looking directly to her own blue orbs. She feel herself relaxed by the touch and she just felt it's her fault why Lexa got hurt. "You got hurt because of m-"
Lexa retrieved her hand off on Clarke's cheek. "It's not because of you."
"Lex-"
"Clarke, listen to me." Lexa said and Clarke shut up to listen to Lexa. "It's not your fault, everything that had happened wasn't planned. We walked in there and just wanted a great time with each other, we didn't knew he would show up. Hell, the thing I was about to say got blocked by him. Everything wasn't predicted, so stop blaming yourself because I don't even blame you. You know, I promised I'll beat him the next time I'll see him, which I did and it felt good." Lexa said and looked at Clarke in the eyes. "And I won't let anyone just lay a finger on you and gets away with it." Lexa smiled, that's a sight Clarke wants to see.
"Thank you Lexa, it really means a lot. But I'm sorry that I just watched you fought Finn, I should have helped."
"You did, you called for backup."
"A back up with no help, you mean." Clarke chuckled.
"I didn't say that." Lexa shook her head.
"But it's what in your mind." Clarke put the ice pack on the side of Lexa's mouth. Lexa hissed a little because of the coldness.
"You got me there." Clarke smirked by that.
Clarke gestured to Lexa to hold the ice pack on the side of her mouth. She watched as Clarke went to get something in the nightstand, it's a bandage. Clarke reached out for Lexa's bruised hand and cleaned it, then she wrapped it up with the bandage. The gentle in every movement Clarke do while she tends Lexa is such a beautiful thing ever. Lexa's just watching her friend fixed her, Clarke is so caring and amazing, and Lexa really adores her.
"Lexa."
Her thought was broken by that.
"Hmmm?" She hummed.
"Would you mind telling me the thing you were about to say to me earlier?" Clarke said softly as she continues to wrap the bandage.
Crap, Lexa thought Clarke already forget about that, but she knows Clarke is not stupid to just forget immediately.
She can feel nervousness rising up through her. It's feels like her surroundings just blacked out and the only thing she sees is Clarke tending her hand. She swallowed the lump in her throat and clenched her jaw.
"You okay Lexa?" Clarke asked as she sensed the sudden nervousness in Lexa's features.
"Yeah, I - I'm fine."
Clarke smiled as she looked at her work, the bandage is beautifully done.
"Perks of having a mother who's a doctor." She smirked.
"Thank you." Lexa appreciates everything Clarke did to her and she can't stop letting blonde know it.
"You're welcome, you sure you're fine?" Clarke said and Lexa nodded. "It's fine if you won't tell tonight though." Clarke gesturing to the matter that Lexa was about to say.
But in honesty, Clarke wants to know it so bad because Lexa is really serious about it and it made her very curious. She'll respect her friend's decision though.
"I think I'll tell you in another time." Lexa said sheepishly.
Clarke sighed, but immediately masked it with a smile. "It's fine don't worry, I could wait." She nodded. "I think you should get some sleep."
Lexa knows Clarke is really looking forward for the broken conversation they missed, but her confidence just all gone. But she knows she will tell Clarke sooner, Anya's word. "We both need to get some sleep." She pointed out.
"You're right." Clarke took off her shoes and lie back on her bed. She patted the space beside her.
"I should take the couch downstairs." Lexa said.
"Take off your shoes, put the ice pack on the nightstand, join me in here and shut the fuck up." Clarke said sternly.
Lexa did what she was told, she's now lying on the bed with Clarke. "I can't believe you."
"You're cute when you do what I say." Clarke giggled.
"Shut up." Lexa huffed playfully.
"Goodnight Lexa." Clarke whispered as she slowly closed the space between their bodies. Her face is literally half of a ruler away from Lexa's neck. What surprised Lexa is Clarke wrapped an arm on her stomach, she smiled by that.
Lexa put her bandaged hand on top of Clarke's hand and slowly caressed it. She can feel Clarke's breathing is slowly slowing down and it really calming her. "Goodnight Clarke." She smiled.
Lexa slowly closed her eyes and steady her breathing. This is the kind of moment that could really just calm her and it's Clarke, that just sums it all. She's going to sleep peacefully.
"Night, commander hot stuff." A mumble words came from Clarke's mouth.
Lexa did hear that, but is that really what Clarke said. Lexa just shut her eyes and sleep. Holy shit she knows, Lexa thought at last.
Of course it's him and I think he'll be gone for good. Lexa got her revenge and Clarke said her piece already.
There'll be more Lincoln, of course.
Clarke does know, oh?
