Summary - Clarke leaves the hospital after a long shift not knowing Raven pulled a prank on her. Little does she know that prank leads her right to Lexa but in what fashion.
Okay everyone I am back. I took a short break to catch up on reading everyone else who writes our favorite couple. This is one of two new stories. I wrote two one shots and depending on the feed back I will turn one into a multi fic so I am going to need all the feed back possible on both of them so I can decide. If anyone else can hit me with a better idea I will be more than willing to switch it up.
DON'T FORGET TO READ "NOISE COMPLAINT"
Clarke hung her coat up before slamming her locker feeling the cold metal against her head when she stopped to take a breather. She had just finished her last shift of the day and she was exhausted but she knew there would be no sleep. Thinking it over in her head she still hadn't quite figured out where she belonged in the medical world but she was one step closer to figuring out what was important to her. Grabbing her bag she swung it over her shoulder and decided maybe some coffee and food would possibly put her to sleep at some point.
"Bye Dr. Griffin." Clarke turned her head smiling at one of her coworkers.
"Look who it is." Clarke rolled her eyes turning around to spot her one and only best friend Raven.
"I'm done for the day please do not ruin it already." Clarke stopped only to see her best friend holding out her arms.
"Hugs." Raven smiled knowing she was going to get smacked later.
"Fine one hug and then I'm leaving Raven." Clarke walked over giving her best friend a big hug knowing they would see each other later for dinner.
"Try and get some sleep princess. I'll see you later." Raven smirked before turning around knowing her best friend had no idea there was a sticker stuck to her back that said kick me. It wasn't the first or last time they had pranked each other and she was prepared for pay back.
Clarke walked out the door seeing the sunshine she lifted her head and smiled. It wasn't very often she got to spend the day outside in the sun so it was time she enjoyed it. Even with the lack of sleep trying to take over she headed towards the park. She had her sketch book and couldn't help but wish sometimes she had taken the art route in school but she wanted to help people. Helping people was in her blood even if her mother tried to sway her choices. She was leaning towards pediatrics which was the polar opposite of her mother and she loved working with kids. It's what her passion was is helping people and especially helping little kids and she had a feeling that soon her white coat would have that threaded into it.
"Can I get a chocolate muffin and a double shot of espresso." Clarke cursed herself for her order but she couldn't outlive her love for coffee and chocolate.
Lexa lifted her tank top wiping off the sweat from her run. She was headed to the park to play some football with her friends but decided to stop off and grab her regular before hitting the field. It wouldn't hurt her since she had just gone 4 miles and barely broke a sweat. She was in shape and she knew it but it mostly played to her for getting out of her head. Walking up to the small coffee stand she spotted a blonde in scrubs that fit her in all the right ways. The girl's hair was tossed up an like 4 shades of gorgeous. For some reason she was curious and she couldn't help but laugh a little to herself seeing the kick me sticker on the girls back. She was pretty sure the girl had no idea and she was trying to figure out how to tell her.
"Commander the usual?" Clarke heard the weird name turning around not realizing someone was standing behind her. She had pretty much zoned out the world enjoying the sunshine on her face. Spotting the taller brunette behind her she felt her jaw almost drop. The girl was stunning and the simple fact that she had her tank top lifted caused her to bite her own lip spotting the girls abs that she swore looked better than some she had seen in magazines.
"Excuse me." Lexa smirked watching the blonde look her up and down. Knowing she was busted she watched the blonde give her a small smile before side stepping still waiting for her order. Grabbing the bottle of water and gatorade the woman behind the counter handed her along with the chocolate doughnut she always got after a run.
Clarke watched the girl behind the counter flirt with the taller brunette who had stepped in front of her. For a girl who was so in shape she was shocked to hear the chocolate doughnut part coming out of the girls mouth. Something about the interaction made her wish it was her flirting with the brunette who she didn't even know. It was an odd feeling in her gut seeing the girl laugh and smile at whatever the brunette had said. Holding it back she turned to look around like she wasn't paying attention as she heard the brunette say goodbye.
"Ummm kick me." Lexa said it outloud as she stopped quickly turning around remembering the blonde had a sticker on her back. She cursed herself mentally watching the blondes face scrunch up in confusion.
"Huh?" Clarke had no idea what the brunette was talking about. She didn't quite care because she was getting to check the girl out one more time before they went their separate ways.
"Kick me, shit umm sorry the sticker on your back it says kick me." Lexa tried to point not wanting to drop everything she was attempting to carry.
"What?" Clarke was confused but then she remember Raven randomly giving her a big hug before she left the hospital this morning.
"That bitch." Clarke said it outloud laughing. She couldn't believe she let Raven pull one over on her and that she did it so well. It wasn't the first time they had pranked each other but this was the first time Raven had gotten her without her even having an idea about it.
"Sorry." Lexa shrugged not sure what to say about the blondes outburst. What she did notice though was the blondes laugh. It was something she could get use to hearing everyday.
"No no it's okay, my best friend obviously got the upper hand on me when I left the hospital this morning." Clarke smiled seeing the girl bite her lip trying not to laugh at her as she twisted trying to get the sticker off her back.
"Here let me help." Lexa juggled her drinks and food to reach around and pull the sticker off the blondes back. She couldn't stop herself from smelling the hint of hospital soap and vanilla coming off the blonde.
"Thank you, payback will be a bitch." Clarke smiled looking down at the sticker with smiley faces all over it and it big bold letters it said kick me.
"Good luck on that pay back." Lexa smirked as she walked off knowing she was going to have to explain why she is so late.
Clarke nodded her head watching the girl bite the doughnut and jog off down the path. She wasn't sure where the girl was going but part of her wished she did. Not only was the woman stunning but her eyes were an unknown shade of green. It made her want to get closer to inspect her face. The jaw line that was cut perfectly and the cocky smirk she gave when she knew she was right. It had been awhile since the artist in her had actually itched to sketch something knowingly.
"Clarke." Turning around hearing her name she walked back up to the coffee stand grabbing her food and drink she had almost forgot about.
"Good luck with that one." Clarke once again was confused. It was her day off and maybe her long shift was getting the best of her but people were not making any sense.
"I don't understand." Clarke looked at the girl knowing she was the one flirting with the brunette who had just jogged off. It made her want to ask questions about the brunette but she refused.
"The commander, the girl who just jogged off. Good luck she seems to be untouchable. I've been trying for months but it seems like you might have just cracked that hard shell of hers a little." Clarke lifted an eyebrow out of curiosity now. She wondered what the girl had saw that she didn't catch onto.
"Thank you and have a good day." Clarke shrugged walking off with her coffee and food. It wasn't like she would ever see the girl again but it did help her confidence knowing she had gotten to the gorgeous brunette somehow.
Lexa made it to the field in no time almost in a sprint knowing the chocolate doughnut she inhaled was going to be her only fuel for a little bit and she hoped it held up to it's amazingness. Spotting her friends she jogged that way already seeing her best friend pointing at her for being late.
"One lap or two commander because when are you ever late?" Octavia spoke up seeing her friend running onto the field like a child who had just got in trouble.
"Screw you I already ran 4 miles today." Lexa dropped her water next to their bags opening up her gatorade to take a long drink.
"So what are we up to guys?" Octavia hopped onto the back of her sort of kind of boyfriend Lincoln.
"Long ball for a bit what do you think? I could use some reps before my game try outs." Lincoln looked to Lexa before flipping Octavia off his back hearing her laugh.
"Sure go long and I'll start throwing but if Octavia gets one on you than you run a lap, deal?" Lexa smirked knowing both of her friends wouldn't back down to the offer.
"Let's do this." Octavia ran off onto the field doing three cartwheels half way through her jog.
"Show off." Lexa yelled picking up the football spinning it around getting ready to start throwing. Scanning the area she was happy to see some kids on the playground and a few people walking the track. This is what she enjoyed seeing people out and about enjoying the beautiful weather. It's what she planned on accomplishing one day.
"I need to do this more often." Clarke said it under her breath as she walked the path into the park. Nothing was more relaxing then fresh air. Looking around she spotted some kids playing on the swings a couple power walking the track and hearing the rowdiness she saw three people playing football. Looked like two girls and a boy and Clarke could tell it was all fun and games but still competitive. She couldn't stop herself from smiling seeing one of the brunettes start dancing since she must have scored or did something right. Walking along Clarke figured she find a spot under a tree and sketch. She always brought her pad with her but didn't always sketch. It was something she got from her father and today was the first day in a while that she actually itched to have the pencil in her hand. She wished she could actually thank the brunette for that.
HEADS
Clarke looked up watching two people running towards her screaming heads so she looked high dropping her coffee she shockingly caught the ball. Hearing rocks slide and someone laughing she peeked open her eyes that were closed shut praying that she didn't get hit. She was never one for sports but thankfully it was one other thing her father had taught her everything about.
"Damn good catch." Clarke looked at the brunette catching her breath in front of her.
"Uhh thanks." Clarke held onto the ball watching the spunky girl shove the boy next to her like they had been fighting on who was going to catch the ball.
"I'm Octavia." Clarke smiled shaking the girl's hand.
"I can't believe she just caught the commander's ball." Clarke looked at the tan built guy out of breath standing next to the brunette. It was more than obvious he was built for football or anything using his size and strength.
"Don't hate because we both know I had the ball if princess here hadn't of caught it." Clarke just stood listening to the two bickering turning into a small shoving match before focusing back on her.
"You want to play?" Clarke felt her eyes go wide in shock that her of all people just got invited to a football match.
"Ummm no thanks I just got off work I'm just going to relax a little before I head back in." Clarke knew it was partially a lie but there was no way she was going to compete with the two standing in front of her.
"Awww no fun but if you change your mind you know where to find us." Octavia popped the ball up out of the blondes hands before spotting the coffee cup.
"Let me guess you dropped that trying to catch this?" Clarke watched the ball pop up before realizing she had dropped her coffee out of instinct to save her face from the football.
"Ohhh yeah but no worries it was almost gone anyways." Clarke shrugged picking up the empty cup to throw it away.
"Well before you leave stop by us and I'll make sure the commander pays you back for the throw." Octavia watched the blonde freeze with shock as she spun the ball around in her hand.
"Stop interrogating the girl geez." Lincoln grabbed the ball taking off in a sprint back onto the field.
"You're going to pay for that asshole. Talk to you later oh and good catch." Octavia smiled watching the blonde who seemed to still be frozen in her tracks.
Lexa stood on the field trying to figure out why it was taking so long for her friends to come back. She couldn't quite see who they were talking too but she did know whoever it was had caught her deep ball. It wasn't often most could keep up with the throw but seeing someone catch it was a whole different story.
"Who's that?" Lexa nodded her head at Lincoln who got back before Octavia.
"I don't know some girl who dropped her coffee to catch your ball. She seemed a little shocked as we were leaving maybe some aftermath oh my god from catching your deep ball." Lincoln tossed the ball back to his friend running out to midfield again.
"You owe the princess over there some coffee." Octavia pointed behind her to the girl she saw now walking up a small hill to sit down in the shade against a tree.
"Really now?" Lexa said sarcastically looking harder still not really being able to catch the full site of girl who was sitting under the tree.
"Yeah she dropped her whole drink not claiming it to be full but it was. You might even owe her a pair of new scrubs because those looked a little ruined too." Octavia watched her friend staring hard in the direction of the girl.
"Why princess?" Lexa was curious about the random name as she shrugged making note to run over and talk to her before she left now feeling bad she got bombarded by her two friends rather than just dropping her coffee.
"Umm can't you see her blonde hair and super blue eyes. She seemed to be a nurse or doctor or something she mentioned getting off shift at the hospital." Octavia watched her best stop mid air from starting to toss the ball.
Lexa thought it over about blonde hair and blue eyes. It matched the girl she ran into this morning at the coffee stand. The kick me girl. The one who made her fumble her words a little which never happened. Her best friend description fit the blonde perfectly the only thing she forgot was absolutely gorgeous.
"You know she had that same look you have on your face now when I mentioned your player name." Octavia was curious now seeing her best friends reaction seeing her look back at the girl sitting under the tree and the one the blonde gave her before she jogged away.
"Pshhh in your dreams, go long." Lexa pointed trying not to give away the fact that she actually wanted to walk over now and talk to the girl who she hoped was actually the girl she ran into this morning.
Clarke watched the friends play football. She had watched them switch off and on throwing the ball and from what she could tell the girl known as the commander the one she had met this morning seemed like a pro at playing football. She was fast and had good hands not that it was the only thing she was thinking about. She had started to sketch out the game of them playing. It wasn't a bad view of the park too even though she had focused in on the game. Every time she glanced up she swore she saw the brunette looking her way but she told herself to not be ridiculous because why would she when she could pretty much have anyone she wanted. Flipping the page she started to sketch out the brunettes face. She could almost remember every line and angle of the girls face the only thing she couldn't place was the girl's eyes. That unexplained color of green that was so mysterious but yet so beautiful at the same time.
"Why do you keep staring at her?" Lexa turned only to feel the ball hit her dead in the stomach catching the ball hard.
"I don't even know what you are talking about." Lexa rubbed her ribs a little from the hard throw Octavia had just sent her way. If she wouldn't have been distracted it wouldn't have hit so hard.
"You're lying, the whole time we've been playing you've used every extra second you've had to look up at her." Octavia pointed causing her best friend to smack her hand down so it wasn't obvious they were talking about the blonde just in case she was looking at them.
"Stop pointing it's not nice." Lexa spoke up trying to play it off.
"You have been pretty distracted commander." Lincoln leaned on Octavia watching his friend roll her eyes at them.
"Spill it now or I'm going up there to get her." Octavia pushed passed her friend feeling herself get dragged down causing them to start play fighting rolling around on the ground laughing at each other.
"Now tell me she isn't someone." Octavia lay on the ground next to her friend watching Lincoln laugh at them.
"Okay geez I met her this morning at the coffee stand. Or at least I'm almost positive that's her." Lexa rolled over on her stomach looking up towards the hill again seeing the blonde who was focused on whatever she had in her lap.
"That's why you were late." Lincoln laughed hearing his friend huff and Octavia let out a shocked sound.
"No way a girl had you late this morning, tell me it's true." Octavia jumped up looking at the girl again. Thinking about how she looked and she couldn't deny the fact that the girl was gorgeous and her friends type.
"It wasn't on purpose geez guys. She was ahead of me in line and she had a sticker plastered on her back that said kick me so I couldn't just let her walk around with it all day." Lexa tried to play it off a little.
"Mmmhmm sure and that's why you are over here all shaking in your boots to go talk to her." Octavia was hoping if she challenged her best friend enough she'd live up to her personality and go talk to the girl.
"Screw you Blake" Lexa got to her feet heading for the football before watching her friend scoop it up pulling back launching the ball towards the blonde.
"Have fun commander." Lexa was shocked watching the ball soar straight at the blonde causing her to take off sprinting. The last thing she needed was for the girl to get hurt on top of dropping her coffee and ruining her clothes.
"Let's go." Octavia grabbed her bag throwing it over her shoulder she laughed watching her friend still on a dead run for the ball.
"You are just going to leave her like that." Lincoln pointed laughing at his friend who had took off faster than he had ever seen her run.
"Yup if she is as smooth as I've seen she will have no problem making that up." Octavia jumped on Lincoln's back in notion of getting a piggyback ride to the car.
"Whatever you say O." Lincoln hiked up the girl on his back and headed for the exit of the park.
Lexa was running full speed looking at the blonde then back up the ball knowing she had almost no chance in catched the ball so she was going to have to scream heads if anything to save the blonde from being pegged with probably the most accurate throw she had ever seen from her friend who would get some serious payback at some point.
HEADS
Clarke heard someone screaming again looking up she saw the brunette from the morning yelling at her in a full sprint causing her to jump up slightly afraid before spotting the ball for the second time and catching it. If today was her day to learn football she swore she'd never come to park again.
"They weren't lying when they said good catch." Lexa was bent over with a smirk on her face seeing the blonde with her eyes closed breathing deep.
"I'm going to thank my lucky stars for not getting hit for the second time today with your damn football." Clarke spoke finally opening her eyes letting her blue ones meet those stunning green ones.
"Sorry about that my best friend thinks she pretty funny sending me on the run." Lexa tried to cover some hoping it wasn't obvious on why Octavia tossed the ball this way.
"You mean the friends who are currently leaving you." Clarke nodded to behind the brunette as she watched both the guy and girl head off the field.
"Yup that'd be them." Lexa laughed standing up straight now stretch out her muscles trying her hardest not to be obvious to checking the blonde out.
"Well it looks like we both have some payback in the future." Clarke laughed watching the girl sneak glances at her in a not so obvious way.
"Yes yes that is true." Lexa spotted the empty cup sitting next to the blonde at what looked like a coffee stain down the side of the girls scrubs.
"Is there another sticker on me or something?" Clarke ducked her head a little catching the line of site coming from the brunette.
"Ohhh no sorry it's just Octavia said I owed princess some coffee and new scrubs and I just now put two and two together that you did actually spill your whole coffee from this morning." Lexa pointed it out not even catching the name she used to label the blonde.
"Princess?" Clarke bit her lip giving the brunette a glare at the name.
"Shit umm it's what she called you not me." Lexa held her hands up like she was waving a white flag only to hear the blonde laugh.
"Blonde hair blue eyes I get it and it's not the first time I've heard it." Clarke shook her head laughing at the brunettes cute face she made when she was a little scared.
"I'm going to kill her." Lexa smiled at the blonde happy that she had laughed at it rather than being pissed.
"You know you are kind of adorable with that look compared to your stoic what it is commander name they give you." Clarke tucked the football under her arm hoping she wasn't overstepping but it was the truth.
"Adorable? Me pshhhh." Lexa stood up straight trying to not smile seeing the blonde giggle at her change in posture.
"Sure whatever you say commander." Clarke shook her head bending down to grab her bag it was about time she left and prayed for sleep when she hit her bed.
"You're leaving?" Lexa felt a slight disappointment not getting to talk to the blonde some more.
"Long shift today so I need some sleep before I start a new one." Clarke hated having to walk away but if she didn't she might not never leave the brunette and she really did need sleep.
"Okay well let me at least give you some money for the coffee and your scrubs." Lexa pointed back to where she remember her bag was but was now currently not there. Just another reason to kill Octavia for.
"No worries, it's okay trust me I have more than enough of these then I probably need. Also the coffee probably would have kept me up rather than put me to sleep." Clarke watched the girl scrunch her face up like she didn't like her answer causing her to bite her lip again wanting to laugh at the brunette.
"See adorable." Clarke pointed watching the brunette shake her head before laughing.
"I would have to disagree." Lexa stood tall again crossing her arms. She wanted to say the blonde was flirting with her but it'd been so long since she had actually run into someone that could actually make her smile that she was unsure of what to think.
"Catch." Clarke tossed the ball to the brunette who had seemed to get lost in her own thoughts for a moment before feeling the ball smack against her.
"You need to work on that throw." Lexa smirked this time seeing the blonde roll her eyes at her as she headed down the hill.
Lexa wasn't sure what to do she didn't want the blonde to just walk away. She was juggling everything she could in her mind to find a reason to see the girl again. Her usual smooth ways were currently failing her completely.
"Hey kick me." Lexa yelled it as the blonde hit the pavement on the path watching her turn around and pretty much glare at her over the name.
"Keep it." Lexa tossed the ball to the blonde watching her catch it with ease before shaking her head and laughing at her.
"Why?" Clarke stood on the path watching the brunette give what she assumed was her signature smirk.
"Think of it as an I owe you." Lexa winked before jogging off towards the field never looking back because she could feel the blondes eyes on her.
"What the hell am I going to do with a football." Clarke stood watching the brunette jog across the field. She couldn't stop herself from laughing as she tucked the ball under her arm and headed towards her apartment. If anything she might kiss Raven today rather than punch her.
