Lexa had been living at Clarke's place for over a month and a half now. The new rookie got used to their routine, even got a little a part of it, nor she wasn't totally invested in it. She was still the mysterious new roommate – she and the blonde obviously bonded over their common lifestyle, but sharing about their private life wasn't really their thing. After all that time, knowing not much about Lexa was making her slightly curious. She knew she had an uncle and some cousins and she was from Portland. The reason she decided to move to Seattle was mostly because she saw this incredible opportunity to work in Seattle, but that was it.

Raven and Octavia apparently worked their ass to make the best prank ever to their new roommate and rookie, but the prank never happened because they got a call and Lexa suspected it. Raven finally let go of the idea, but Clarke was still worried: it wasn't her style to forget about pranking someone.

They were at the Seattle Police Department when Lieutenant Kane came to Clarke. He wasn't looking like we was going to rip her head off her body, nor didn't looked happy to have a little chat with her. Clarke was in her dark blue uniform and she was heading to the reunion room, because the meeting was in less than five minutes.

"Good morning, Griffin." He greeted her. "May I speak with you?"

"Hi, sure." She followed him into her office. He sat down behind his desk and proposed to his officer so join him, so she sat too.

"Thanks for giving me a minute," He said with a smile. "Indra is getting back to work today, and I think you can guess what it means."

"I will no longer be in charge of Officer Woods?" She replied, feeling a bit sad. She loved to work with Lexa and she felt like she could trust her with her life. Everytime they got into a bad situation, she always had Clarke's back.

"Exactly. You know this situation was temporary," He added, nodding. "You did a good job training her out there. When we will have another rookie, I might consider you to be a supervisor officer again."

"Thanks Lieutenant Kane." She thanked him.

"I also hear from your friends Reyes and Blake that Woods have been living with you since she's in town."

"Yes, it is right, sir." She replied to him, not really knowing where their conversation was going.

"I want to thank you for helping her integrate here." He looked behind Clarke, the windows were giving him a good view of his officers moving around from desks to desks. "She told me she likes working with you."

"She's a good rookie, paying attention to every details. I sure think Indra will like her."

"Good, then." He finally looked at her and said: "I assume you already know that if something happens in your personal life – whether it is a disagreement or anything else with her – I would like this to not interfere with your attitudes on the job."

"I understand. None of that will happen, Lieutenant." Clarke nodded and finally got to leave Kane's office. He was a really good boss and a caring person, but he clearly offended Clarke when he warned her about living with Lexa.


The four roommates were in the changing room after their morning shifts, the same day Lieutenant Kane talked to Clarke about the rookie. Lexa had Indra on her back all day, but the blonde knew she only was pressuring her to do her best. The black woman was always harsh on her rookies, but they always turned out to be great cops – or detectives. She was Lincoln's supervising officer a long time ago.

"… and there was this hit and run. Clarke, are you even listening?" Octavia said, waving her hands in her best friend's face.

"Oh eh, hit and run hmmm," She thought hard, trying to remember what her friend was talking about. "Dead prostitute?"

"That was me." Raven said, removing the top of her uniform to get into a black t-shirt.

"Sorry." Clarke mumbled, trying not to look into Lexa's direction. She knew she was also changing for casual clothes and if she had a moment of weakness, Raven and Octavia would notice for sure. She didn't wanted to have them on her back.

"What's on your mind, sunshine?" Raven said, crossing her arms on her chest. Octavia looked at them, releasing her hair from her ponytail.

"Kane came to talk this morning," She started. "He told me that, when there will be new rookies, he will consider having me as an official S.O."

Lexa obviously heard that, because she joined the conversation. "I guess you did a good job training me, then." Clarke smiled at her, trying to fix her face and nothing else. Lexa was wearing only a sports bra and jeans. She was goddamn beautiful.

"That's great, Griffin!" Exclaimed Octavia.

"And he thanked me to integrate you," She pointed Lexa. "To our team and getting you a roof."

"That's nice of him." Raven said. "But it also doesn't explain what is bothering you about it..."

"He kinda insinuated stuff." Clarke frowned. "Like that if anything happens outside the job, we must not show it while we're working."

"Oh." Octavia started laughing.

"Yeah, anyway, it's not like you are a horny bunny or anything." Raven replied. "You haven't brought anyone home since months."

Lexa smiled when Raven said that. "This man has a weird way to say things." She said, looking at Clarke with her beautiful green eyes. The blonde almost forgot her words.

"This was totally embarrassing." She told her roommates. "It's not because I'm the only girl-loving girl in SPD he can tell me things like that! He never told Octavia and Lincoln to keep things low – yet you've been caught making out like twice." Clarke was a bit frustrated.

Lexa put a shirt on and made a knot with her hair. Clarke looked at her two other friends and said: "Wanna go for a drink?" She asked them and she saw Raven looking at her phone.

"But it's only two o'clock?" Answered Raven.

"Yeah, I kinda want to get this out of my system."

"Well, I can't. I promised Lincoln we will spend the day together – it's been a while since he hadn't had a day off and we wanted to…"

"Sexy times at his house, we know, Blake." Interrupted Raven with a smile. "Finn is coming back from his military camp today, sorry Clarke."

"Oh, I should have remembered. I guess I'll just go home and watch a movie, then."

"Well, I'm down for the drink, And something to eat, I'm starving."

Clarke looked at her new roommate, who just said that, and her heart was suddenly filled with pure joy. She assumed she'd go visit her uncle, since he was having trouble finding a babysitter for her cousins.

"Good, then let's go." She smiled at Lexa and grabbed her bag.


She thanked Lexa for joining her for the drink and she smiled at her, saying it was nothing. They were at a small restaurant close to the police station and they were feasting on burgers, fries and drinking daiquiris. They talked about work for most of their meal, until Lexa asked her about something more private, surprising Clarke.

"Since how long have you been out?"

"Uh… I don't know, it's been a while, actually." She dipped one of her fries into tomato sauce. "I tried to date guys, but it felt weird."

"So you just started dating girls?" She asked, curious. Clarke was feeling shy, but tried to hide it from her roommate.

"Eh, not really. I was old enough, Raven and Octavia brought me to parties and then… alcohol happened." She admitted. "I pretended to be the 'temporary bi-curious drunk girl'."

Lexa laughed. "And I guess Reyes and Blake found you making out with a pretty girl?"

Clarke couldn't help it and she blushed. "Well, uhh…" She looked at her fries and started thinking about the good old past. "If you consider Raven a pretty girl, then yes."

"Oh my God." The brunette exclaimed herself, dropping her jaws. She couldn't believe Clarke once made out with Raven. They haven't slept together, their hands never went under clothes, but the blonde could remember that things were getting way too far for Raven to keep going.

"Please, don't tell her you know that." She begged. "She'll kill me."

"I really can't imagine you being a party animal, Griffin." She added, taking a good sip of her beverage. Clarke ate some fries and shook her shoulders.

"Don't worry, I won't tell." She added, then took a bite of her hamburger.

"How about you?" Clarke couldn't hold her curiosity back, she had to ask her about her interests.

"I've never had any serious relationships." She answered, leaving Clarke to think more about her sexuality. She thought she was insinuating something behind her vague answer. "My father was in the U.S. Navy, like I told you before. Everywhere he went, I had no choice but to follow."

"How about your mother? Couldn't you settle down with her?"

"No, she died when I was six." She answered.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"That's okay. So since she died when I was young and he never had another woman in his life, I had to change school every 9 to 10 months." She took a small breath. "I think I started dating when he retired and decided to live closer to his family in Portland."

Clarke knew she wasn't much younger than her, perhaps a year or so. "What did you do before the police academy?"

"Small jobs, nothing really interesting." She said.

The blonde was happy to hear more about Lexa's life, even though she didn't get a clear answer about what she wanted to know. She reasoned herself that Lexa was probably not insinuating anything, it was just Clarke's mind messing with her.
