Chapter Text
Clarke woke up surrounded by warmth and love. She smiled and stretched and then stopped smiling when she noticed Lexa wasn't in bed. The day was already trying to kill her good mood and she'd only just begun. Reluctantly Clarke opened her eyes and saw Lexa, gloriously naked Lexa. The brunette was washing herself for the day and Clarke decided that perhaps the day would be worth getting out of bed for. Clarke watched in silence as Lexa finished and started to dress. She finally managed to gather the strength to get out of bed when Lexa flashed her a smile and told her that her meetings for the day had been cancelled. In record time Cladke was up, washed, ready to go.
The two had a light breakfast then made their way to a clearing just outside of TonDC. The clearing was small and attached to it was a small lake with a waterfall. It was beautiful. Lexa had brought her here before and still it took Clarke's breath away how much beauty filled the world. Both of them enjoyed spending time alone, swimming in the lake, enjoying both the privacy and each other.
It was late afternoon and they were enjoying a swim. Well, Clarke was enjoying the swim. Lexa was enjoying Clarke's nude body ripping through the water. At least she was until Clarke declared she was going to climb the waterfall and jump off. Lexa tried to stop her, but Clarke was already halfway up the short cliff.
"Lexa, come up here! The view is breathtaking!!"
"I have to say that my view is pretty breathtaking as well."
Clarke blushed fiercely at the comment.
"Lexa, come on up!"
"That would not be wise."
"And why not?!"
"Because the top of the cliff is visible from the training grounds."
At that remark Clarke spun around to look behind her. She could picture the Trikru warriors staring at her naked ass. What greeted her was a tall treeline providing cover and the most beautiful sound she had ever heard. Lexa's laughter. Clarke turned back around and jumped, aiming a little left of where Lexa was still laughing.
The splash that Clarke made when she entered the water made Lexa choke a little but didn't stop her laughter. Clarke resurfaced and attacked the Commander of the 12 Clans. Poor Lexa had no way to defend herself. She was assaulted mercilessly. If her generals could see her now. Her breath stolen from her lungs, limbs flinging uncontrollably and all thanks to Clarke's tickling.
Clarke let up and Lexa caught her breath.
"You think youre funny?"
"You turned so quickly I was afraid you'd fall right off the cliff."
Clarke pouted for about two seconds. That's how long it took Lexa to kiss that pout right off those lips. Clarke wrapped her arms around Lexa and rested their foreheads together.
"This is beautiful."
"You are beautiful."
"You know what would be awesome?" Awesome. The word was still foreign to Lexa but Clarke and Raven used it often.
"What is that?"
"If we jumped off together."
Lexa looked to the top of the warerfall and back to Clarke.
"I do not think that wise, Clarke."
"What's the matter? You chicken?"
"Yes!! I am chicken." Lexa stated proudly, puffing out her chest. Clarke thought it was the cutest thing the Commander had done as of yet. She couldn't help but laugh. Lexa did not understand why the blonde was laughing.
"You dare laugh and the great and powerful Chicken Heda?!" Lexa said as she brought Clarke's body closer. Meanwhile, Clarke laughed harder.
"This is an act of war!!!" She stated before launching her attack. She peppered kisses all over Clarke's face, neck, and shoulders. When Cladke stopped laughing she caught Lexa's lips and kissed her sweetly. The two spend the rest of the day in each other's company before heading back to TonDC. When Clarke tucked herself into Lexa's side at the end of the day there was only one thing on her mind. This day was perfect.
The days that followed were busy days. Meetings kept Lexa away for most of the day. Clarke spent her days in the healing tent. The two rarely saw each other during the day. It was starting to affect them in their daily activities. Both were growing more irritable and short tempered. Thankfully for them, and the rest of TonDC, the endless meetings were to arrange a routine visit of Heda to all the clans. Raven had called it the Clexa Tour. Lexa had called a banishment for the mechanic after hearing the term. Clarke then called the banishment off. Raven still called it that to anyone and everyone that would listen. Clarke called it a vacation. She would get to spend three months with Lexa. They were scheduled to caravan to every clan territory to assess the land and the people. Lexa wanted to make sure that her coalition was still strong and that her people were being taken care of.
That she would also get to show Cladke all of the wonders and the beauty that the ground had to offer didn't even cross her mind. Nope. Not even once. It's not like she had scheduled all her Heda duties within the first few days of their stay in each territory to have as much time as possible to spend with the blond for the duration of their stay.
Whatever it was being called, however it had been scheduled, one thing remained. She and Clarke were about to change the world.
