I need you
„ Gonplie ste odon" The commander murmurs as she closes Indra's eyes.
"Lexa we have to go!" Clarke shouts as she kicks another reaper. Her arm is bleeding but she ignores it.
"Octavia, go and warn the others" she orders
"But..." Octavia hesitates, looking at Indra's body
"Now!" the blonde shouts again and Octavia runs off after smashing a reaper's head on a tree
Lexa stands up, ready to fight then she screams. A spear pierced her shoulder; she stumbles backwards till her back is against a tree. Clarke fights off another reaper and rushes to help the commander. She breaks the spear then pushes Lexa forward "We have to keep moving" she huffs "C'mon, you can do this"
They speed up and it seems the reapers lost their track.
The brunette leans on her harder and harder with each step they take, but they are close "We're almost there, hang on" Clarke whispers and lets out a sigh of relief when she sees the drop ship. Her first home, here on Earth.
Lexa groans as she lies down. The blood dried on her face but that is the last thing that bothers her.
"You have to go, Clarke" she says as she watches Clarke looking for something to put on her wound.
"No" Clarke says firmly, not looking at her.
"Your people need you. You have to leave me" Lexa sighs but she knows that Clarke will not leave. She actually doesn't want her to leave; she wants her next to her, especially if these are her last moments. "My fight is over"
"Your fight is over only if you want that" Clarke barks and turns to Lexa. She has a few pieces of clothing and some kind of fluid in a bottle in her hands. Her expression softens and she is crouched down next to Lexa now "And I will not let you want that. I cannot leave and I will not leave you. We'll fix this together" she sighs "Now...bite on this" she hands Lexa a piece of wood "I will pull this thing out"
"Fine" The commander grumbles and she tries to look as dissatisfied as she can manage but inside she is happy that the leader of the sky people is so stubborn.
"Ready?" Clarke asks as she is ready to pull the spear out
Lexa nods, she bites on the wood and in her hand there's a piece of clothing, ready to push it on the open wound.
She groans and bites harder as Clarke with a fast move removes the spear from her shoulder. She places the clothing on the bleeding wound and she feels that she's about to pass out.
What happens next is blurry for her; all she knows is that Clarke does something to her shoulder which stings, then cleans her other smaller wounds, her face too. Lexa smiles weakly at her then drifts off.
Clarke can't help but smile as she sits next to Lexa. Her own wounds stopped bleeding, but all Clarke cares about now is Lexa. But why? Why is Lexa's safety so important for her? Since the first time they met, there was something about her. She always protected Clarke and stood next to her when her advisors where against her.
Now as she looks at her she cannot see a heartless warrior. She sees a beautiful young woman, who was broken by the cruel world, so she hardened her heart.
'Peaceful and beautiful' Clarke thinks and then it hits her. Then answer is so easy that she didn't notice it. Why her face always lights up when she sees the commander, why her stomach twitches every time her name leaves Lexa's lips.
She's completely fall for her.
Before she could do or think anything, Clarke runs her hand on the brunette's cheek, smiling softly.
Lexa's eyes shut open "What are you doing?" she asks fast and pulls away, but she cannot fully hide that actually she enjoyed the touch
Clarke pulls her hand away fast and looks down "How are you?" she asks and clears her throat
"Better" the commander answers simply and pushes herself up to a sitting position "You?" she glances at Clarke, and Clarke can swear she can see a hint of smile in the corner of her lips.
"Good, now that you are better" Clarke sighs and looks in her eyes
"You saved me...again. Why?" there it is. Clarke wonders if she will ever understand that she will not just let her die without trying to save her.
"Because..." Clarke takes a deep breath. Maybe she should get over this fast. Just tell her what is on her mind then see what will happen. "I need you...and not just your army against Mount Weather. You. I need you" she feels her eyes fill with tears. But why? "I..." she cannot continue, Lexa doesn't let her. Their lips are connected and, oh god, it feels so good, Lexa's lips are just so soft.
Lexa raises her hand to tuck a strain of hair behind Clarke's ear. It melts her heart as Clarke smiles into the kiss and after they part, the blonde doesn't hesitate to lean in and throw her arms around Lexa's neck to connect their lips in another kiss.
