A/N: Thanks for the reviews, favorites and follows everyone. Almost 100 follows ! *squeals in happiness* :) Now on to the next chapter.

Raven and Octavia had just left for the movies. Clarke was sitting on the floor with her sketchbook in her lap. Lexa was finishing her paper, sitting on the couch opposite Clarke. Every now and then, Lexa could feel Clarke's eyes on her and she could feel chills down her spine for some reason. But every time she looked up, Clarke would be focusing in her book. After the tenth time, Lexa sighed and rubbed her temple.

"What are you doing Clarke?"

"Hmm?" Clarke hummed without looking up.

"In your sketchbook.. What are you drawing?"

Clarke just shrugged and kept drawing. Still not meeting Lexa's eyes. Lexa narrowed her eyes and kept glaring at Clarke, but Clarke would not budge.

"Clarke... " Lexa warned.

A cheeky smile formed at Clarke's mouth and she finally looked at Lexa.

"Show me." Lexa said setting down her paper.

Clarke simply shook her head, her eyes challenging Lexa. She was planning on getting up and making a dash for her room. But before she could blink, Lexa was directly in front of her. Clarke shrieked a little in surprise.

"How did you?..."

Lexa just raised an eyebrow.

"The drawing.. now !"

Clarke took a step back and her face got a little warm as she saw Lexa taking a step too in her direction. Still being quite close to her. She was just thinking about her next step as Lexa breathed.

"Don't even think about it Clarke, I used to run 400m lap in a minute in my previous school."

Clarke bit her lower lip and gave up, handing her sketchbook to Lexa. She watched as Lexa took the sketchbook and carefully opened it to the latest drawing. Clarke watched as Lexa's expressions changed drastically as she looked at her own face. It was a pencil sketch but Lexa thought she was almost looking in the mirror.

"This.. this is... wow.. I mean I didn't expect" Lexa stuttered. Probably for the first time in her life. She hadn't expected this at all.

"Me to be actually good at it?" Clarke grinned, pleased seeing Lexa's reaction.

"No.. I didn't mean it like that.. It's just so detailed.. I look so.."

"Beautiful.. " Clarke's tongue slipped before her brain could get a grip. She felt her cheeks warm and she averted her gaze from Lexa. Lexa's eyes had shot up, searching for Clarke's.

"Thanks!" Lexa smiled genuinely. Silence fell between them. Clarke was wondering what she should do next. The growing silence was getting a bit awkward.

"I think Raven and Octavia are going to be late. Want to watch a movie till they come back?" Lexa asked softly after checking her watch.

Clarke nodded as she took back the sketchbook. Glad that Lexa hadn't scrolled through the rest of her sketches.

They both sat back on the couch and started watching a movie Clarke suggested. Soon the awkwardness was forgotten and they both felt pretty relaxed and started enjoying the comedy movie that Clarke had put on. Lexa couldn't remember the last time she laughed this much. It was a welcome change for her and she smiled staring at Clarke's face. She noticed that Clarke's eyes were breathtakingly expressive and she couldn't stop looking at them every now and then. Clarke's laugh was infectious and it made her forget her demons.

As time went on and both of their stomachs grumbled, they decided to order a pizza as neither of them were in a mood to get up from the couch. They chatted about the movie, why Clarke liked comedies and just anything they could talk about. Lexa surprised herself when she found herself laughing and blabbering about stupid things. That was so not like her.

By now they had went through two whole pizzas. Clarke was sitting on the other end of the couch. Her eyelids pretty heavy, struggling to keep awake. It was quite late in the night and as Lexa stared at the screen, she missed the sound coming from the other end and glanced over. She saw Clarke drifted off to sleep and even snoring lightly. Lexa smiled and closed her eyes.

A few hours later, Lexa opened her eyelids slightly and groaned as she felt her left foot almost going numb. She looked and saw Clarke's body splayed all over her left hip. Clarke was practically using Lexa's thigh as a pillow as she slept. Lexa's eyes shot open as she became aware of her surroundings. Well especially aware of Clarke. She let out a gasp and pondered on whether she should move and get Clarke off of her. Seeing the peaceful expression on Clarke's face though, she changed her mind. She just stayed where she was.

Clarke took another hour to wake up. Once she did wake up though, she quickly sat up straight. She watched Lexa was still asleep. She let out a breath as she ran a hand through her hair and smiled to herself. She had just slept with Lexa. Well not in the context people usually imply. Just literally nodded off with her dream girl. (*cough). She rolled her eyes at the train of thoughts in her head. She was about to wake Lexa up before she went back to her room. But decided to just stare at Lexa for a second. She never got the chance to openly do that. The moment felt so serene. She wished she would one day get more of these moments. She made a promise to herself, not to screw this up. She tried waking Lexa up but it didn't look like she would get up anytime soon. After trying for a minute or so and failing, Clarke wrote a note and placed it on the table. She tiptoed out of Lexa's room and closed the door behind her softly. As soon as the door was shut, Lexa sat up straight. She was pretending to be asleep. She was wide awake for the entire past hour. Lexa stared into nothingness as she felt her heart hammer in her chest. A certain blond taking over her mind.

Clarke woke up a bit late next day and found Raven munching on a sandwich while reading. She smiled and wished her a good morning as she flopped down beside Raven, picking up the rest of the sandwich.

"So.. How's Lexa's thigh?" Raven asked casually.

Clarke coughed heavily trying to gulp down the piece of sandwich that suddenly found itself lodged in her throat. "whh.. what?"

"I and Octavia saw you yesterday all snuggled up. You were holding onto her thigh as if it was the most expensive and comforting pillow ever." Raven laughed.

Clarke's face turned many shades of red before she calmed down after coughing. "Geez you saw that? I .. we didn't.. it just happened.. I was sleepy.. and I guess she was sleepy.. So we just slept together" Clarke's eyes bulged at her choice of wording.

"And shut up Raven. We just slept" Clarke warned halfheartedly.

"Uhh huh.." Raven grinned.

Clarke rolled her eyes. "By the way, how did it go with O?"

An evil smile erupted on Raven's face. "First of all, I get to call her that. It's Octavia to you, thank you very much. And second of all, so much side boob action Clarke that you won't believe it."

Clarke laughed loudly looking at Raven's face. She looked like a child who had just found a secret stash of candy.

"Care to elaborate?" Clarke asked with a smile on her face.

"That movie had so many jump scare scenes Clarke, that O was practically hugging me from the side the entire time. She just clutched and held onto my left arm."

Raven pointed to her left arm. "This here is the luckiest S.O.B. of an arm right here."

Clarke laughed and rolled her eyes. "I am happy for you and your arm Raven."

"Ohh the soft... round.. warm.. weight of her... "

"Stop! Too much info Raven.. too much ! " Clarke closed her ears and ran to the bathroom.
