“Mm..” Clarke mumbles in her sleep, cuddling closer to the warm body next to her. Lexa smiles softly, pushing the stray strands of Clarke’s hair out of her face. Lexa leans down and kisses Clarke’s nose. Lexa can’t believe how lucky she is. Her Clarke is back in her arms.
“Clarke..wake up.” Lexa says softly, stroking Clarke’s cheeks. The blonde groans, waking up from her peaceful sleep. She hasn’t slept so well since before her and Lexa’s breakup.
“Hi..” Clarke says quietly, her voice still thick with sleep. “What time is it?”
“Time to get up sleepyhead.” Lexa says with a wide smile. She just can’t believe that Clarke is back in her arms again. She thought she might never get this again. She thought she lost her for good after all the lying. Lexa promises herself to never take Clarke for granted again. This is the only girl for her.
“Maybe we can stay in bed all day?” Clarke says innocently, but Lexa can tell from the blonde’s mischievous smirk that Clarke definitely wants to do more than sleep.
“I mean I certainly wouldn’t have any complaints to spending the day in bed with you baby, but what about your mom?” Lexa asks and Clarke bites her lip.
“My mom has work, Lex. She won’t be back home until at least 9 p.m. and that’s if she doesn’t go out with that new boyfriend of hers, which she probably will knowing my mother.” Clarke says in a gently whisper before situating her body so that she’s on top of Lexa.
“I’ve missed being with you so much.” Clarke quietly says before kissing Lexa gently, humming in content into the kiss. Lexa’s breath gets heavier as her hands slid up Clarke’s body, massaging Clarke’s beautiful breasts under her t shirt.
“You have no idea how much I’ve missed this.” Lexa says in between kisses. Lexa takes off Clarke’s shirt and Clarke does the same for her. Soon they are completely bare and writhing under one another’s touch.
“Fuck Lexa fuck..” Clarke moans out softly as Lexa pumps to fingers in and out of her. Lexa’s thumb is hitting her clit just right and Clarke can feel her orgasm building in the knots of her stomach. Lexa is on top of her, alternating from kissing her and looking in her eyes. It’s perfect and intimate and everything they need.
“I need more. Please.” Clarke whimpers, her back arching slightly. Lexa groans out in arousal; she’s painfully hard.
“What do you need, Clarke?” Lexa asks, her voice thick and heavy from arousal. Clarke has always thought Lexa’s voice is so sexy when she’s turned on.
“You..I need you.” Clarke simply says. Her sentences have to be simple at this point because she can barely get her words out between her heavy breathing and kissing Lexa’s soft swollen lips.
Lexa nods and grabs a condom from the nightstand. She pushes in slowly. Clarke is tighter than usual since last night was the first time in a long time for them. Lexa groans and her head falls to Clarke’s shoulder. “Clarke..” Lexa groans out.
Clarke wraps her legs around Lexa’s lower back and the brunette starts pumping her hips. Clarke’s breath hitches when Lexa hits just the right spot. Lexa leans all her weight on her arms that are pinning Clarke’s above her head. Sometimes Clarke likes when Lexa takes control and this is definitely one of those times.
“Open your eyes..” Lexa mumbles out and Clarke’s eyes slowly flutter open. “I want to see you come.” Lexa says in a heavy voice.
“Lex..” Clarke whisper moans out. Lexa can tell she’s close and honestly so is she. Lexa speeds up her hips and Clarke is done for. She comes with Lexa’s name coming off her lips. Lexa groans and thrusts harder and harder until she comes as well. Clarke has a soft smile on her face and it makes Lexa’s heart flip and skip a beat. God, she is so happy to have a second chance to show Clarke how big her love for her is.

The rest of the trip consists of Clarke and Lexa sneaking around Abby to have quickies all through the house. Abby is so caught up in her own self that she pays no mind to them. Lexa starts to wonder why Abby even invited Clarke here. She’s just ignoring her. Clarke tells Lexa that this behavior is not out of the ordinary for her mother and that she’s used to being ignored.
As a kid, it was even harder because Jake was always working too. So Clarke really wasn’t close to either of her parents until the divorce happened. Clarke says that it was like a wake up call for her father and he stopped working as much as focused his attention on Clarke. Even when he did work a lot though, he always found time for Clarke. Abby though, even when she was free, it was like she was trying to avoid Clarke’s presence.
Abby never was a mother to Clarke. She was passed from nanny to nanny. And while Abby wasn’t cruel, she was very negligent. The only love and compassion Clarke received as a child was from her father when he was around. Jake truly did make an effort, but it wasn’t enough. Clarke was still left alone most of the time. Jake and her had a special bond but it only truly matured when she got into high school
Lexa feels a pang in her heart when Clarke breaks down and tells her everything the night before they leave L.A. Lexa had no idea Clarke’s home life was like that. Sure, she knew Clarke’s mom cheated and they have a poor relationship. But she had no idea how it affected Clarke. This whole trip has made their relationship stronger. They grew closer and Lexa is glad for it.
When they return, of course, there is a party happening that night at the Woods house. They get back just in time to talk to Jake for a bit before going off and joining their friends.
“Hey you two lovebirds!” Octavia calls out cheerily. Clarke texted her a couple of days ago that they are back together and she couldn’t be happier for the two of them.
“Hi O.” Lexa says with a slight blush on her face.
“Now don’t screw it up this time Woods, okay? You’ve got a great girl.” Octavia says half teasing.
Lexa rubs the back of her neck and looks over at Clarke who is wearing a soft encouraging smile. Lexa grabs her hand and kisses the back of it.
“Don’t I know it.” Lexa smiles wide and Clarke blushes. Clarke mumbles about how cheesy and cute Lexa is before setting off to get them some drinks.

“Chug chug chug chug chug!” All the boys cheer as Lexa finishes chug a big thing of beer. She is sufficiently drunk. Somewhere along the way she lost Clarke in the crowd to a dancing Octavia and Laurel.
Lexa went off to drink with her basketball buddies and it feels just like the old times, but not in a bad way. Maybe she drank a little too much though. Lexa feels herself swaying as she walks through the crowd, searching for Clarke.
“Lex!” Clarke calls out, tired and sweaty from all the dancing. Lexa slowly turns around, her eyes glassy and a lazy wide smile on her face.
“Baby..” Lexa sloppily throws her arms around Clarke and kisses her neck. Clarke gasps slightly. How did Lexa get this drunk? “Mm I love you baby...you’re so hot.”
“Lex..” Clarke chuckles, pulling out of the tight bear hug Lexa currently has her in. Lexa pouts when Clarke stops hugging her back.
“Why you stop hugging me back?” Lexa frowns and Clarke laughs even more. Lexa is an adorable clingy drunk when Clarke Griffin is involved, it turns out.
“How much have you had to drink love?” Clarke asks softly, cupping Lexa’s cheeks and looking in her green eyes.
“You know...your eyes are blue..really blue.” Lexa says with a dumb smile on her face, slightly slurring her words. Clarke has never seen her this drunk before.
“Lex, answer me.” Clarke says a little firmer this time.
“Answer what?” Lexa says with a confused frown. “Clarke, are you drunk?” Lexa says worriedly.
Clarke bites her lip to stop her smile. She knows she shouldn’t be smiling right now but Lexa is kind of adorable like this.
“No I’ve only had a couple beers. You, on the other hand, are hammered. No more for you.” Clarke says and Lexa frowns.
“What about cuddles? I really want cuddles.” Lexa says happily and Clarke laughs. Clarke knows Lexa would never be this cheesy and what not if she wasn’t drunk.
“Yes we can cuddle. Let’s go get you some water and then bring you upstairs to bed.” Clarke says and Lexa’s eyebrows shoot up. A smirk reaches her lips.
“Bed?” Lexa asks not so innocently.
“No sex Lex.” Clarke says firmly and Lexa chuckles. “What’s so funny about that?”
“That rhymed.” Lexa mumbles before yawning. “Baby..I’m tired. Cuddles now?”
Clarke smiles. “Yes baby. Let’s go.”
Clarke brings Lexa upstairs and helps her change into PJs. Clarke texts her Dad that her and Lexa are going to stay at the Woods’ house today and he reluctantly said okay.
“You’re so hot yanno..” Lexa mumbles, nuzzling into Clarke’s breasts. Lexa is lying mostly on top of Clarke and the blonde is running her fingers through Lexa’s loose brown curls. Clarke just laughs. Lexa has no filter right now.
“You’re pretty beautiful too.” Clarke replies gently.
“I..” Lexa pauses and looks up, smiling at the compliment. “I love you.”
“I love you too Lex.”
“No like I love you so so so much.” Lexa slurs out.
“I love you too baby. Now let's sleep.” Clarke says and Lexa nods against her breasts, mumbling out a tired okay. A few minutes later though, Lexa breaks the silence.
“Your boobs are my favorite pillows.” Lexa mumbles out gently and Clarke smiles, trying to contain her laughs.
“Goodnight Lexa,” is all Clarke says back. Lexa starts snoring and Clarke knows she’s asleep finally.
///
A few hours later, the party has almost completely died down. Lexa got very drunk very fast so her and Clarke called it an early night. But around 1:30 a.m., Clarke wakes up and has to pee. The blonde carefully removes herself from underneath Lexa and goes into the bathroom. She realizes there is no more toilet paper so she wanders over the the bathroom closet to get some more. Now this bathroom closet is very large and a walk in. I mean after all, the Woods mansion is massive. There’s even a lounge couch in the bathroom.
So Clarke enters the walk in bathroom closet and all of a sudden she hears the door to the bathroom open. She immediately assumes that in her half awake state she didn’t lock the door when she came in and she was right. Clarke is about to shout out that there is already someone in here, when she hears two voices. Mercedes and Finn.
Mercedes is still a sore subject for Clarke but she accepts it. She will be here for Lexa and her baby the whole way. Mercedes was even at the party tonight since she lives at the Woods’ house now that her parents kicked her out. Obviously she didn’t drink or stay up too late, but she nonetheless was there.
“Don’t lie Mercedes..the baby is Lexa’s!” Finn shouts out angrily. Clarke stands frozen in her place. What did he just say?
“Finn..listen, I..I think it’s Lexa’s. But I did sleep with you twice around the same time.” Mercedes says emotionally.
“Fuck!” Finn swears. He’s drunk clearly, Clarke can hear it in his voice.
“My parents will never accept this.” Finn slurs out. “You already have an arrangement with Woods. Lets leave it the way it is.”
“But Finn..I think I should…” Mercedes starts to speak but Finn cuts her off again.
“Why are you even telling me now?” Finn says, his voice distressed.
“Because..I don’t know. I really thought it was Lexa’s. Me and her had sex all the time...me and you...we only slept together twice.” Mercedes mumbles insecurely. Clarke’s heart squeezes unpleasantly when she hears that Lexa and Mercedes had so much sex. I mean, logically, she knew they did. But she doesn’t like to revisit the idea of it.
“Na! Listen up, we used a condom each time.” Finn slurs.
“Me and Lexa always did too..I don’t know Finn. I’m starting to have doubts. I think I need to tell Lexa about all this.” Mercedes says guilty.
“Listen Mercedes...my whole future depends on my parent’s money. If they find out I got you pregnant, I’d have to marry you. My parents would never allow the scandal! But Lexa..it doesn’t matter to her. Her parents are gone.” Finn says and Clarke fumes.
“I have to tell Lexa, Finn. I’m sorry.” Mercedes stutters out.
“No! Goddamnit!” Finn roars out and Clarke decides to step in at this point.
“Finn, that’s enough!” Clarke snaps. Finn and Mercedes’ eyes widen.
“Clarke..” Finn says in complete and utter shock. “Listen, I’m not sure what you heard but…”
“I heard everything, Finn. And if Mercedes doesn’t tell Lexa, then I will.” Clarke says confidently.
“Tell me what?” Lexa says confused. She woke up and Clarke wasn’t in the bed so she decided to come looking for her. That’s when she heard screaming in the bathroom and decided to see what was going on. One thing is for certain though, nobody in this house understands the concept of locking a bathroom door.
