Chapter Text
“Come on Lexa, you got it babe. Go! Go! Go!”
“You know the odds of her hearing you are pretty slim right?” the blonde glances over at her boyfriend shooting him a glare and a ‘shut up’.
“She can hear me. She always hears me.” the blonde replies turning her attention back to the game. Clarke watches the beautiful brunette weave in and out amongst defenders, dribbling the soccer ball with ease before kicking it into the goal. “GOAL!” the blonde shrieks throwing her hands in the air before pointing her finger at the brunette who is pointing right back at her.
“WAY TO GO LEXA!” she shouts again sufficiently annoying her boyfriend.
“Great the game’s over can we go to the party now?” Bellamy asks holding up Clarke’s purse.
“What? Oh, you go ahead, I’ll head over with Lexa.” Clarke’s says giving Bellamy a quick kiss on the cheek before bouncing down the bleachers to find her best friend. The crowd has lessened when Clarke finds her surrounded by her teammates and friends. The blue-eyed beauty weaves her way into Lexa’s inner circle and hugs her from behind. Lexa feels the soft, secure hands pulling her close and she turns to find her best friend pulling her in for a tighter hug.
“You did it Lexa. I’m so proud of you.”
“Couldn’t have done it without you Clarke. I could hear you screaming from the bleachers."
“I knew you would.” she says pulling away.
“Where’s Bellamy and the boys?” Lexa’s asks walking toward the bench to grab her things.
“They stayed until the end but I told them to go ahead to the party and we’d meet them there.” Clarke says grabbing Lexa’s bag from her.
“Ah right, the party."
“Lexa…you promised.” Clarke scowls.
“Just because I promised to go doesn’t mean I have to be excited to go Clarke."
“If you don’t want to go, then don’t go.” Clarke says with a bit more bite than intended.
“You’re my best friend, you come to all my games, of course I’m going to go.” Lexa grabs Clarke’s hand and pulls her into the locker room. “I’ll be quick, okay?” Clarke nods in reply and lays down on a locker room bench and pulls out her phone.
Clarke (7:35pm): See you guys soon!
Octavia (7:38pm): Excellent, how’s Commander ready to party?
Clarke (7:38pm): I still don’t get why you guys call her that.
Clarke (7:38pm): And no, she seems annoyed but I’m sure she’ll be fine once she has a drink or two.
Octavia (7:39pm): Perfect because I’ve got someone I want her to meet.
Clarke (7:39pm): Is she aware of this plan? And who?
Octavia (7:41pm): What do you think lol.
Clarke (7:41pm): Who are you trying to set her up with?
Clarke watches the bubble pop up indicating that Octavia’s typing but a reply never came. She contemplated calling the girl to get the scoop but Lexa was already emerging from the shower. The brunette takes a seat at an opposite bench, still in her towel, as she rummages through her locker for something to wear.
“Want me to braid your hair?” Clarke asks.
“If you wouldn’t mind, please.” Lexa says her head in her locker. “So I’m surprised Bellamy came to the game. What sorts of sexual acts did you have to promise to get him to come this time?"
“I’m offended that you think I’d have to bribe my boyfriend to do something with me."
“Well when it comes to me, you tend to have to bribe him quite a bit..."
“I do not.” Clarke says pulling harder on Lexa’s hair than usual but Lexa kept her mouth shut.
“Right, are you done?"
“Just about.” the blonde says patting Lexa’s back. Lexa stands and drops her towel, she’s wearing underwear if what you can even call a thin layer of lace underwear and she eases her way into a pair of black skinny jeans, throws on a bra and a white v-neck over it. “You ready Clarke?” Lexa asks grabbing her soccer bag.
“You have no idea.”
When Clarke and Lexa arrive to the party, people are just starting to show up. The girls make their way into the kitchen where their friends are beginning to serve drinks.
“There they are!” Octavia yells across the kitchen counter.
“Hey Lexa, great game tonight.” Bellamy says raising his glass in her direction and Clarke sticks her tongue out at Lexa as if to say ‘I told you so.'
“Thanks Bell.” Lexa replies already downing a shot from Octavia. Lexa signals for another when Octavia cuts her off.
“Not just yet Commander. I want you fully sober…at least for awhile…” Octavia says.
“What, why?” Lexa asks glaring at the girl.
“Yeah why’s that?” Clarke chimes in her eyebrows raised.
“Baby sis thinks she’s found a girl finally good enough for Lexa.” Bellamy answers.
“You knew about this?” Clarke say turning to her boyfriend.
“Yeah it was my idea actually.” Bellamy replies taking a sip of her beer.
“Would someone like to clue me in on what’s going on?” Lexa says grabbing a beer.
“We’re setting you up.” Octavia says flashing a smile to Lexa.
“And you’re in on it?” Lexa asks directing her question to Bellamy.
“Yeah…” Bellamy replies all of a sudden feeling very nervous until Lexa smiles.
“Well, well Bellamy Blake doesn’t hate me after all.” Lexa laughs and before Bellamy can respond Clarke grabs a beer and storms off.
“Someone’s in trouble now…” Octavia whispers, shoving her brother who jumps off the counter ready to go after the blonde.
“No let me.” Lexa says grabbing the bottle of tequila and two shot glasses. Lexa already knew where she’d find Clarke, down by the Blake’s pool.
“Care to tell me what that was all about?” the brunette says taking a seat next to her best friend.
“Nothing."
“It’s not nothing, you stormed out and made a scene Clarke.” Lexa says pouring them both a shot.
Clarke takes the shot and cringes at the after taste, “I didn’t make a scene."
“Look if you’re not going to tell me what’s wrong then I’m going to leave you out here to mope while there’s a perfectly good party going on inside."
“No you won’t.” Clarke says grabbing Lexa’s beer and taking a sip and Lexa smiles because she knows that her best friend is right. Threats like that were pointless, Clarke and Lexa were a package deal and everyone knew it. They’ve been inseparable even before they were born.
“Tell it again mama, please.” the blonde girl pleads.
“I don’t think Lexa wants to hear it again.” Clarke’s mother says.
“It’s okay Mrs. G, I always like your stories.” a gap-toothed Lexa replies and Abby sighs.
“Okay, one more but then you girls really need to get to sleep. Okay?"
“Okay!” the seven-year-olds reply in unison.
“So once upon a time, before either of you were born, Mrs. G and Mrs. W were at mommy classes waiting for your daddies to show up and of course they were late."
“Of course, daddy’s always late.” Clarke teases.
“Yes, well everyone was pairing up for a lesson and we had no one but each other. So Lexa’s mom and I decided to be partners and we became fast friends and soon after your fathers became friends too."
“The best of friends, right Mrs. G?"
“The very best, just like you and Clarke.” Clarke snuggles into Lexa’s side already drifting off to sleep and Abby lowers her voice to a whisper.
“Mrs. G?"
“Yes Lexa?"
“Will Clarke and I always be best friends?"
“Do you want to be sweetheart?” Abby smiles.
“Yes ma’am.” Lexa says looking over at the now sleeping blonde next to her.
“Then yes, you always will be. Now get some sleep okay?” Abby tucks both girls in and places a kiss on their foreheads and shuts the door. She’s halfway down the hall before she turns around and leaves the door open just a bit.
“Sorry Lexa.” she whispers.
“That’s okay, I knew you’d remember.”
“Do you want to go home?” Lexa asks.
“Weren’t you paying attention in there L? They’ve got someone for you to meet.” Clarke says taking another sip.
“You’re more important.” Lexa replies stealing her beer back. “Besides, not worth seeing you jealous like this.” Lexa laughs.
“I’m not jealous. I’m just…Upset that I wasn’t in on it.” Clarke replies.
“I’m kidding Clarke. The last thing you’ll ever be is gay.” Lexa laughs and stands up, “Come on Clarke, let’s go.” Lexa extends her hand to the blonde and helps pull her up. The girls head back to the kitchen, the bottle of tequila already running low, to find that Raven and Lincoln have now joined their friends.
“Congrats on the win Lex.” Lincoln says hugging Lexa.
“Thanks big brother, wish you could’ve been there though."
“Next game, I promise.” he says placing a quick kiss on her forehead.
“It still blows my mind that you two are more sibling like than these two and they're related by blood.” Raven says gesturing toward Octavia and Blake who were now going head-to-head in a game of beer pong.
“Blood isn’t important.” Lexa says getting defensive.
“Chill Commander, I meant it in a good way. I promise.” Raven says throwing her hands in the air.
“Better have or you’ll be running the rest of next practice.” and the glare from Lexa is all Raven needs to know that she means business. Cheers from the next room indicated that someone had won at beer pong and judging from the chants of Octavia’s name it was her.
“Guys! Bellamy’s going to streak the house and cannon ball into the pool!” a random partier yells into the kitchen.
“Oh this is going to be good.” Lincoln says making his way to the patio. The rest of the gang follows and Bellamy makes his way outside stripping down to his boxers.
“Bet’s a bet.” he says raising his beer, chugging it before dropping the remainder of his clothes and mad dashing through the house before jumping into the pool. The party erupts with dog whistles and cat calls.
“Now I see why you’re dating him.” Raven says nudging Clarke’s side.
“Shut up.” the blonde replies. The group makes their way back to the kitchen and Lexa finds her way behind the counter getting ready to make a new round of drinks for everyone. Raven’s disappeared at this point, probably sticking her tongue down her on and off again boyfriend Finn’s mouth, Clarke’s settled to a seat on the counter with Bellamy next to her while him and Lincoln argue over the latest Call of Duty game, and Octavia’s nowhere to be found.
“So game of cards anyone?” a drunk Bellamy asks.
“Maybe later Bell.” Octavia says striding into the kitchen, “I want everyone to meet Costia first.” she says stepping aside to reveal a jaw-dropping brunette.
“Hi.” Costia says waving a shy hand and the group greets her in unison.
“Costia! So great you could make it!” Bellamy says walking over to hug the girl.
“Well when both the Blake siblings insist on you showing up, you show up.” she laughs. Costia makes the rounds greeting everyone one by one this time and when she makes her way to Lexa it’s apparent she’s quite nervous.
“You must be Lexa.” Costia says sticking her hand out for the other girl to shake.
“What makes you think that?” Clarke asks from behind Lexa.
“Because Octavia told me Lexa has the most beautiful eyes she’s ever seen and I’m here to say she was right.” Costia says her eyes never leaving Lexa’s. Lexa blushes when she realizes they’re hands are still together.
“It’s lovely to meet you Costia. Can I make you a drink?"
“I’ll have what you’re having.” the girl replies.
“Shots, we’re doing shots.” Clarke says jumping off the kitchen counter, “and I’m Clarke by the way.”
“Yes, the beautiful Clarke, I’ve heard a lot about you from Bellamy."
“I’m sad to say I haven’t heard anything about you Costia.” Lexa pinches Clarke and shoots her a glare telling her to back off.
“So how about those shots?” Costia says subtly changing the subject.
“My kind of girl.” Lexa smiles and Octavia shoots her a thumbs up.
After successfully finishing another bottle of tequila amongst each other, everyone is sufficiently drunk at this point. Raven re-emerges from an upstairs bedroom with Finn trailing behind her. Lincoln is chatting with Octavia, they’re both getting a bit handsy with each other but Bellamy doesn’t seem to mind. If he anything there’s no one else he’d rather have dating his little sister than Lincoln. Bellamy and Clarke are comfy on the couch watching the party around them. Clarke gets up to go to the bathroom and does a quick survey of the room to bring Lexa with her but she was nowhere to be found. It isn’t until Clarke returns from the bathroom that she sees Lexa and Costia sitting in the backyard.
“So how is it we’ve never met before?” Lexa asks. “I’m sure I would’ve noticed you.” and Costia blushes. “I go to Ark Academy.” I know the Blakes through my parents, they were college best friends back in the day.
“A private school girl huh?” Lexa says rather seductively. God Lexa, get it together you goof.
“Amongst other things, yeah.” Costia flirts back. “So tell me something."
“Hm?"
“And please don’t think I’m being too forward but why are you single? I mean I take it that you are since Octavia convinced me to come here tonight and you clearly agreed to meet me."
“Well if we’re being honest, I didn’t know you were coming until about two hours ago.” Lexa could see Costia’s smile falter a bit, “but, I’m glad I met you and as for being single…I don’t know. I guess I’m just picky.” Lexa says finishing the rest of her drink.
“There’s nothing wrong with being picky.” Costia replies. “I was practically raised to be picky."
“How can one be raised picky?” Lexa asks, “I’m sorry, that was rude of me to ask. I guess I’m a bit more drunk than I thought I was.” Lexa hiccups.
“You’re cute.” Costia says turning to the girl next to her.
“Hiccups aren’t cute."
“I didn’t say hiccups were cute, I said you’re cute.” Costia says, her head leaning toward Lexa.
“And you’re also evading my question.” Lexa says her head slightly leaning in.
“I’ve been told I’m quite good at that as well.” Costia says her eyes flickering to Lexa’s lips and back to her piercing green eyes.
“What else are you good at?” Lexa asks her eyes on Costia’s.
“I can show you better than I can tell you.” she whispers. The distance between them is minimal at this point and Costia leans her head in to fill the final space between them before a very drunk Raven stumbles outside calling for Lexa.
“Lexa! Are you out here?"
“Ignore her.” Costia whispers.
“LEXA. Clarke needs you!” she yells again and that does it. Lexa’s head snaps up and Raven rushes over to her. “Lexa, Clarke needs you."
“Is everything okay?"
“Just come!” Raven says pulling the girl to her feet. Lexa shoots a look to Costia and yells that she’s sorry before she’s dragged back inside and what she finds inside shouldn’t be a surprise to her but it still is. Clarke is sitting on the kitchen counter a fresh bottle of tequila in her hand.
“There’s my girl!” Clarke yells pointing toward Lexa.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Lexa says folding her arms. “How many bottles of tequila are there?"
“Come on babe! Body shots. Let’s show them how it’s done."
“Why can’t Bellamy do this.” Lexa murmurs walking toward Clarke.
“She lost a bet.” Octavia shouts from the other room.
“What did I tell you about making bets when you’re drunk.” Lexa says cupping Clarke’s face.
“Like today?” and Lexa laughs because really Clarke is too adorable when she’s drunk to be mad at.
“Come on Commander, show them how it’s done.” Raven cheers.
“Yeah Commander, show me how it’s done.” Lexa turns to find Costia standing in the doorway, arms folded over her chest making her cleavage that much more visible and Lexa gulps. Lexa looks back at Clarke, a wide grin on her face.
“Alright fine.” Lexa says and the room cheers again. Lexa carefully places a bit of salt on Clarke’s collarbone, Raven hands Clarke a plastic shot glass filled with tequila and Clarke carefully places it between her cleavage eliciting a few oo’s from the group around them, and finally Lexa puts a lime in Clarke’s mouth. Clarke winks at Lexa and the brunette places herself between Clarke’s legs for better access.
Lexa quickly tongues the salt off of Clarke’s sun-kissed skin and lowers herself to the blonde’s cleavage tipping the shot glass into her mouth downing it quickly before releasing it from her lips to bite the lime waiting for her in Clarke’s mouth. Except Clarke had dropped the lime just in time and Lexa wasn’t quick enough to pull back, before she knew it Clarke’s lips were on hers and she could feel her tongue looking for access, access that Lexa quickly granted as the tequila started to get to her head.
“Ow, ow!” Raven cheers and Lexa pulls away.
“Clarke.” Lexa says her eyebrows arched.
“So maybe the bet was to trick you into making out with me…” the blonde says shrugging her shoulders.
“Uh huh.” Lexa says nudging her best friend.
“Could’ve been worse Lexa, you know I’m an excellent kisser.” Clarke says wrapping her arms around her best friend.
“This is true.” and the brunette catches Costia’s eyes and suddenly she felt guilty. Except the look Costia’s wearing isn’t screaming jealousy, it’s screaming want and desire.
“So do I have to be challenged to get that to happen to me?” Costia asks to no one in particular.
“I’m sure Commander would be more than happy to oblige that request.” Octavia says patting the counter space next to Clarke. Lexa watches the way Costia walks toward her, eyeing her up and down and she suddenly realizes she’s biting her lip.
“You know you don’t have to degrade yourself like that to get Lexa to make out with you.” Clarke says.
“You did it.” Costia replies readying the tequila.
“No, she’s right you know?” Lexa says moving away from Clarke and snuggling her way between Costia’s legs. “Why do that when we can just cut to the chase.” Octavia’s practically giddy in the corner seeing that her matchmaking skills worked.
“Alright kids let’s give these two some privacy.” Octavia says pushing people out of her kitchen.
“No stay,” Costia says hopping off the counter, “we’ll go. Lexa…?” she says her hand outstretched.
“Happily.” Lexa says grabbing her hand and following her outside.
“Go back to bed Clarke.” Lexa groans grabbing the covers.
“How do you always know I’m awake before I do anything?” the blonde bickers.
“Because you get gassy right before you wake up."
“I do not get gassy before I wake up.” Clarke says grabbing at the covers leaving Lexa without any.
“My mistake then, it must be my other best friend who farts in the mornings.” the brunette replies grabbing a pillow and covering herself with it.
“Lexa Rachel Woods you take that back!” Clarke says jumping on the girl.
“You did not just middle name me!” Lexa says propping herself up on her elbows.
“You bet your ass I did.” Clarke says taking the pillow over Lexa’s head and hitting her with it.
“You are such a child Clarke.” Lexa replies shielding herself with her arms. Clarke adjusts herself over Lexa so that she’s now straddling the girl, her hips digging into the girl below hers pinning her down to tickler her sides. “Oh my god! I take it back! I take it back, you are not a child!” Lexa shrieks trying to fight off the tickle attack coming from her best friend. It isn’t until Lexa bucks her hips forward sending a thrill to Clarke’s core that she’s able to get her best friend off of her.
“Fucking finally.” Lexa says turning over to go back to sleep.
“Are you seriously sleeping right now?"
“Are you seriously not hungover right now?” Lexa snaps back.
“I am but it’s sunny outside…"
“So go outside."
“You could sleep by the pool…I mean you’re already wearing your suit.” Clarke says poking at Lexa’s side again. “So we really did change into our suits and go swimming last night.” Lexa groans.
“Well at first you were naked, I had to convince you to put a suit on. Commander Lexa was very much out and about last night.” Clarke laughs.
“Ugh, fine. If we go to the pool will you please shut up and let me sleep off this headache?"
“Yes, but once it hits noon, I make no promises."
Clarke’s floating on one of the inflatable rafts while Lexa naps her hangover away in a lounge chair or so Clarke thought.
“Clarke."
“I thought you were sleeping.” Clarke says pulling the one earbud out of her ear.
“It’s impossible to sleep when you’re thinking so loudly.” Lexa replies her eyes still closed.
“How can you possibly hear what I’m thinking.” she scoffs.
“Because you’re playing Muse and you only listen to Muse when you’re frustrated. So what’s wrong?” Lexa sits up and takes a sip from her water.
“Nothing."
“Clarke, I’m your best friend if you think I don’t know when something’s up then you’re gravely mistaken. You’ve been like this since the party. Now spill."
“And the Commander lives!” Clarke and Lexa look over to the fence where Octavia and Raven are walking through.
“Raven, use your inside voice if you could.” Lexa begs.
“You got it Captain.” she says before catapulting into the pool.
“So where did you disappear off to last night?” Octavia asks Lexa taking the chair next to her.
“None of your business."
“Yeah O, you know Commander doesn’t kiss and tell."
“Thank you Raven.” Lexa says trying to return to her nap.
“Oh come on Lex! You guys were making heart eyes at each other all night! You’re seriously telling me nothing happened?” Octavia pleads wanting more information.
“We kissed."
“I knew it!” Octavia shrieks.
“We kissed, once. It was nice.”
“And?” Octavia asks as if she already knows the answer.
“And…we’re going on a date tomorrow."
“Yes!” Octavia says fist pumping.
“What? I thought we were going shopping tomorrow!” Clarke says.
“I’m sorry Clarke, but Costia’s busy until the end of the week, it’s the only time she had available.” Clarke knows Lexa’s being genuine but she can’t help but a feel a twinge of jealousy knowing that her best friend was ditching her for some girl she just met.
“It’s fine.” Clarke huffs.
“I promise to make it up to you.” Lexa says.
“Oh barf, you guys are seriously like an old married couple.” Raven says splashing Lexa.
“If Lexa knows what’s good for her she better be making it up to me.” Clarke teases.
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Lexa chimes in.
“You know exactly what that means.” the blonde replies.
“Seriously, you two just need to bang out this tension and move on with your lives.” O teases.
“I’d rather bang your brother. Oh wait…”
“Clarke Griffin you promised you wouldn’t talk about anything Bellamy and anything sexually related while I’m around!” Octavia glares at the blonde from across the pool before jumping in and flipping Clarke’s raft over.
“Son of a bitch O! My iPod!"
“Oh relax Princess, we all know it’s in a waterproof case.” Octavia says resurfacing from the pool.
“Yeah Princess."
“Shut up Commander."
“You’re going to regret that.” Lexa smiles before diving in and splashing the girls.
Lexa’s date was right around the corner and her nerves were seriously going haywire.
“Lexa you need to calm down.” Clarke says from her bed.
“Clarke, I’m really nervous."
“The Commander nervous? Thought I’d never see the day.”
“You know I’m really beginning to think that you’re jealous of this girl and I seriously have no clue as to why.” Lexa says sticking her head out from her closet.
“I’m not jealous Lexa, I’m just saying you’re getting your panties in a twist over a girl you barely know."
“That’s not true. Unlike you, I didn’t spend majority of the party challenging everyone to drinking games. Costia and I actually got to talk…It was nice.” Lexa says popping back into her closet.
“She’s a private school girl.” Clarke scoffs.
“See, you see snobby private school girl, I see hot girl in a private school girl uniform."
“Oh gross, Lex."
“Clarke I don’t understand why you’re so against this. It was your boyfriend’s idea after all."
“Oh and suddenly you’re all about Bellamy?” Clarke’s comment does the trick because Lexa emerges from her closet half-dressed.
“Clarke do you not want me to go?” Lexa asks taking a seat next to her.
“What? No, of course. You should go if you want to go.” Clarke says tussling her hair, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s come over me. I think I’m getting my period soon."
“I hope so. We don’t need any baby Blakes running around just yet.” Lexa jokes grabbing a lace top off the floor and pulling it over her head. “What do we think of this?"
“Gorgeous, Costia will love it.” Clarke smiles and Lexa looks over at her, only wishing that the smile plastered on her best friend’s face was genuine and not fake but she pushed those thoughts aside and focused on taming the butterflies running wild in her stomach. “Alright well I’m headed to Bellamy’s now. You remember our texting protocol?"
Lexa nods as she finishes her braid. “If I text you, all clear. If I call and hang up, SOS."
“I’m so proud.” Clarke says wiping a fake tear off her face before leaving. “USE PROTECTION.” the blonde yells before exiting Lexa’s home. Clarke heads over to Bellamy’s in hope of distracting herself for the night. She wasn’t sure why she was nervous for Lexa but she summed it up to the fact that she’s protective of her best friend and going out on a date with someone she barely knows is pretty out of character for Lexa. Dating in general is pretty out of character.
Clarke lets herself into the Blake residence and calls out for Bellamy, instead of being met by her heavy-footed boyfriend she’s instead met by a half-naked Lincoln who seems to be trying to sneak out of the house.
“Lincoln.” the blonde greets.
“Clarke.” he says pulling his shirt over his head and exiting the home. Clarke smirks seeing Octavia come down the stairs to meet her. “Looking for someone?” Clarke asks.
“Nope.” the raven-haired girl replies, popping the ‘p’ as she annunciates. “What’re you doing here? Bellamy’s out for the night."
“Of course he is.” Clarke mumbles under her breath as she grabs her phone to check her messages. “I must’ve missed his messages. I was helping Lexa get ready for her date."
“Oh yeah tonight’s the big night!” Octavia replies gesturing for Clarke to follow her into the kitchen. Octavia grabs her and Clarke some drinks and they make themselves comfortable in the living room.
“So you and Lincoln?” Clarke says watching Octavia go through Netflix in search of something to watch.
“So you and Lexa?” Octavia rebuttals.
“I’m sorry?” Clarke says almost choking on her iced tea.
“You heard me.” Octavia replies her eyes never leaving the TV screen.
“You do realize I’m dating your brother…Your brother that’s a boy…”
“And you realize that ever since I’ve brought up the idea of Costia and Lexa you’ve been acting like there’s a stick up your ass.” Octavia selects Friends and settles into the couch, “I’m not going to say anything if that’s what you’re worried about."
“Octavia, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Clarke genuinely replies.
“Clarke, I hate to break it to you but you are SO in love with Lexa."
“She’s my best friend."
“No one said you couldn’t be in love with your best friend."
“But I’m not, I love her, we grew up together, but I don’t love her that way."
“Look, I’m not trying to put thoughts into your head, it’s just something that I’ve observed. Don’t think I don’t like you with my brother either, but I always thought you were too good for him."
Clarke sinks into the couch the thoughts of her conversation with Octavia sinking into her mind. She couldn’t possibly be in love with Lexa, right? I mean she’s never been attracted to girls before but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t appreciate a good looking girl and Lexa is definitely a good looking girl. “Clarke, are you okay?” Octavia asks pausing Netflix.
“What, yeah. I’m just, processing."
“Oh my goodness, you really didn’t know, did you…"
“I’m not really sure what I know anymore to be honest.” Clarke says rubbing her temples.
“Well I know I’m not really good with the sharing of feelings but if you ever need to talk, you know I’m here. Speaking as a member of the bisexuals, I know how stressful it is coming to terms with yourself, but you know that no matter what we’re all still here for you.”
“I…I just don’t know what to say."
“Say nothing we’re watching Friends and you know how much I hate it when you guys talk during it.” Octavia nudges Clarke and resumes playing Netflix. If it’s one thing Clarke has always been grateful for it’s Octavia her laid back attitude and her loyalty. Clarke knew she could trust her with her secret, if it was even a secret to begin with. Is it?
Shit.
