Chapter Text
“I have a great idea.”
“Well if it involves doing what we just did, then you’re going to at least make me breakfast first” Lexa said trying to catch her breath lying in the bed next to Clarke with a slight smirk. Clarke rolled on to her side to face Lexa.
“I’m being serious, and we both know the only person making breakfast is going to be you,” Clarke said with a slight pout. Lexa’s eyes dropped down to those pouted lips and could only think about how much she wanted to kiss that pout away, even though they just spend a good hour doing that (and so much more). As Lexa started to lean in Clarke cut her off by pressing a finger to her lips.
“Oh no you don’t. You have to listen to my great idea before you are getting anywhere near these lips again,” Clarke said seriously.
“Is that so?” Lexa said quickly changing their positions, so Clarke was now on her back and Lexa was now hovering above her. “Well there are plenty of other places I kiss besides your lips,” she said as she started kissing underneath Clarke’s jaw and down her neck. Clarke barely bit back a moan as Lexa found that one spot on her neck right above her collarbone. Gathering her suddenly dwindling willpower Clarke rolled out from underneath Lexa and promptly jumped out of bed.
“Nope. No. Nuh uh. Not happening.” Clarke looked back at Lexa’s pouting face, man there was a lot of pouting going on this morning. Lexa’s eyes took in Clarke’s naked form and then saw the seriousness in her eyes.
“Fine, okay, tell me about this great idea,” Lexa said while she sat up and pulled the sheets over her chest. Clarke turned and grabbed Lexa’s t-shirt that was lying on the ground from the night before, it was a little small for her, but it worked.
“Okay, so I was thinking,” as she moved to sit on the bed next to Lexa, “you know how Octavia and Raven have been talking about how we have been acting suspicious lately?”
Lexa nodded her head. Her, Clarke, Raven, and Octavia have been friends for years. Clarke and Lexa’s current relationship is somewhat of a new development. Both Clarke and Lexa had been secretly pining over each other for years, but they both just found out about each other’s feelings two months ago. Clarke and Lexa haven’t told anyone about these recent developments because they wanted some time to figure things between them first. Both Clarke and Lexa have been receiving texts from Octavia and Raven asking why the pair had been acting so distant lately.
“Yes, I remember our two very nosy friends” Lexa said trying to figure out where Clarke is going with this.
“We should all go out tonight!” Clarke said looking like she just solved the hardest puzzle in the world. Lexa’s heart started pounding in her chest. Was Clarke finally saying what she thinks she saying? Does she finally want to tell people about their relationship? Lexa has been wanting to bring the subject up to Clarke for weeks now, but every time she tries, she loses her nerve thinking that Clarke will shut down the idea. Clarke keeps talking, but Lexa is so lost in her own thoughts and a smile starts to spread across her face.
“--that way we can hopefully get them our backs about us being suspicious.” Wait, what? Lexa smile drops as quickly as it started to appear.
“Wait, sorry, what did you say?” Clarke was too caught up explaining her elaborate plan and did not see Lexa’s dramatic facial change. Clarke rolled her eyes and smiled.
“I said that we should all go out tonight and hang out as a group. We will act like we are still just friends and hopefully that will get them off our backs about being distant and they will be less suspicious,” Clarke said looking at Lexa to hear her thoughts. Lexa looks down at her hands that are currently messing with the sheet she still has pulled up to her chest to hide the disappoint that is surely showing on her face.
“I mean, maybe going out as a group isn’t such a good idea,” Lexa mumbles.
“Oh, come on Lexa! I know going out isn’t really your thing, but it will be fun. Come on, I promise.” Clarke said leaning down leaning down to look into Lexa’s beautiful green eyes and give her the full puppy dog pout.
Ugh, Clarke knows that Lexa can’t say no to the puppy dog pout.
“Fine, we can go out tonight,” as soon as the word are out of her mouth Clarke plants a quick kiss on her lips and jumps out of bed.
“Yay! I will let O and Raven know,” she says grabbing her phone off the nightstand and tossing a clean t-shirt over to Lexa. “Now let’s go Commander, I believe I was promised breakfast.” Lexa caught the shirt and playfully rolled her eyes.
“I believe the deal was that you were going to have to make me breakfast.” Lexa said teasingly. Clarke began walking out of the bedroom and towards the kitchen. She turned leaning on the door frame with a coy smile on her face.
“And I believe I told you that the only person making breakfast is you. Double time Commander. I’m not finished with you yet, and you’re going to need all the strength you can get” she said with a wink as she sauntered towards the kitchen. Lexa scrambled to put on the t-shirt and out of the bed and to blonde goddess that was waiting in her kitchen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Later that night ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Are you sure this is a good idea Clarke?” Lexa said clicking the “k” in a way that Clarke secretly loved. They were getting out of the cab and walking towards a popular nightclub called Tondc. Raven and Octavia were already inside and just texted Clarke and Lexa, letting them know that they managed to grab a table near the dance floor. Lexa had stopped to ask Clarke the question, Clarke was slightly ahead of Lexa and she turned to answer her.
“It’s not a good idea Lex, it’s a great one,” Clarke replied with a smirk. Lexa was having her doubts, Clarke looked devastating tonight. So much so that Lexa was not sure she was going to be able to pull of the “just friends” thing. Clarke was wearing a short blue dress that brought out the blue in her eyes and showed a fair amount of skin. Lexa nearly tripped over the curb getting out of the cab because she was too busy looking at Clarke.
Looking back at Lexa, Clarke couldn’t help but feel her heart start to beat double speed. Lexa was drop dead gorgeous tonight. She was wearing dark skinny jeans with white v-neck that showed off her mouth-watering collar bone. Lexa even completed the outfit with a green leather jacket that was secretly Clarke’s favorite because it brought out the green in Lexa’s eyes. Tonight, Lexa’s hair was down in waves and pulled over one shoulder Clarke could barely stop herself from jumping Lexa before they got in the cab together earlier in the night.
“Come on Lex, let’s get inside before they start to wonder where we are,” Clarke said reaching her hand out and wiggling her fingers waiting for Lexa to grab her hand. Lexa grumbled a little bit, but took a hold of her hand as Clarke led them into the club. Looking around, Clarke found Raven and Octavia waiting at a table and started to pull Lexa that way. When they started to get close to the table Clarke subtly dropped Lexa’s hand. Lexa pretended to ignore the way her heart dropped once Clarke let go of her hand.
“Princess and the Commander in the house!” Raven screamed, causing a couple of heads to turn their direction.
“Geez Raven, trying to wake the dead over here?” Clarke said as she scooted into the booth.
“She just missed you Clarkey, we both have. Ever since we graduated college it seems like no one ever has time to hang out,” Octavia said slurring her words slightly. Apparently, her and Raven had already had a couple drinks before Clarke and Lexa arrived.
“We hang out all the time! We probably hang out wayyy more than what normal adults should,” Clarke said laughing.
“That’s because you love us Griff,” she said leaning in to pant a sloppy kiss on Clarke’s cheek. “And we miss you guys. Especially you Dr. McSexylips,” Raven said looking over to Lexa. Lexa just rolled her eyes, over the years Raven had made up hundreds of inappropriate nicknames for her. They are reaching a new level know that Lexa earned her PhD and teaches history at the local college.
“What would my sister say about these lovely nicknames that you have for me Raven?” Lexa asks.
“What can I say Professor Sex-on-a-stick, as long as I keep it in the family, I think it’s okay. You know Anya and I were talking about our sex—” Raven starts to say.
“Nope! I am not having this conversation anywhere near sober. I am going to get a drink, Clarke what do you want?” Lexa got out of the booth to make her way across the crowded club. Both Raven and Octavia already had drinks and Lexa had a feeling no one was making it through the night sober.
“I’ll have whatever you’re having,” Clarke said with a quick smile. Lexa shot her a quick smile back and turned to make her way towards the bar. Once she made her way up to the bar, she noticed that there were a lot of people who still needed drinks. She sighed and prepared herself for at least a 10-minute wait.
Luckily, she was able to find a spot where she could lean up against the bar and wait. She leaned against the bar and turned to look back at her friends and her girlfr--. ‘No, stop Lexa. You guys haven’t talked about it yet you aren’t girlfriends you aren’t really anything thing right now,’ she corrected herself. But man did she wish they were girlfriends. Lexa wants nothing more than to just go up to Clarke and be able to kiss her and put her arm around her without having to worry about their friends finding out. Lexa looks back at the bartender to see if they are making any progress, nope still waiting. When she looks back towards their table a woman is standing directly in front of her. Lexa tries to take a step back, but the club is very packed and she is already up against the bar. The woman must recognize Lexa’s shocked face because she smiles and quickly apologizes.
“Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you, I was just trying to find a spot at the bar so that I could get a drink.” Lexa gives her a half smile/half grimace and shakes her head.
“It is fine,” Lexa then makes to turn back to find the bartender when the girl starts speaking again.
“I’m Echo by the way,” and puts her hand out for Lexa to shake. Lexa pauses and then quickly shakes her hand before dropping it and once again trying to turn away and find the bartender when the girl, Echo, speaks again. “So are you Commander or Princess?”
“Excuse me?” Lexa gives her a questioning look. Echo laughs and puts a hand on Lexa’s forearm and leans in closer to whisper directly in Lexa’s ear.
“I said are you the Commander or Princess?”
At this same moment across the club, Clarke, Raven, and Octavia have all been talking and catching up.
“Ugh, I really wish Lincoln was here so I had someone to dance all sexy with,” Octavia said looking out onto the dance floor.
“Hey babe, you still got me to dance all sexy with,” Raven says as she wiggles her eyebrows. That makes both and Clarke and Octavia start laughing.
“Damn, I wonder where Lex is with my drink. I’m dying having to deal with you two drunkies while sober,” Clarke says while sticking her tongue out at the both of them.
“Well shit, look at the babe that Dr. Pornwithfeelings is with,” Raven says pointing to where Lexa is at by the bar. Clarke turns to look at where is Raven is pointing and sees a girl with her hand on her girlfri--- she means Lexa’s, definitely not her girlfriend, Lexa’s --- arm. Lexa was right this was a very bad idea.
