Evaporated dreams
Clarke rolled over in bed, getting closer to Lexa's warm body. She loved the feeling of the other girl's skin on her own, hands caressing the brunette's back as she rested her forehead on her chest. Lexa mumbled something in her sleep and turned around to lie on her stomach, giving Clarke a full sight of her elaborated back tattoo. Clarke traced it with her fingertips as more light entered the room with the sunrise.
Lexa had been having the same recurrent dream since she became Commander: the sight of a woman falling from the sky in a space suit, then taking it off as she landed on Earth, which was devastated from the nuclear war, barely any vegetation or animals in sight. For what seemed like an eternity she wandered around, trying to find a refuge, food, or people. She found none.
Every time she had the dream, little bits of information added to it. That day her dream self found a little cave to sleep in and survived in it for some time, there was no way to keep track of time in her dream. Yet that wasn't all that was new that day. As she walked out of the cave to try and scavenge whatever supplies she could find, a group of silhouettes appeared in the background. At first, Lexa thought they must've been an illusion, but as they approached she realised they were real people. She ran towards them and once they were close enough to speak, she heard a tall, black man speak in a deep, sultry voice
"We've been looking for you"
Lexa woke up covered in sweat and completely disoriented. When she finally came to her senses, she noticed Clarke by her side, blue eyes open wide with a worriedly expression.
"What did you say?" Lexa asked when she noticed the other girl was awaiting some sort of answer
"What were you dreaming of?"
Lexa sighed "I...I honestly don't know yet...But I think I'll figure it out soon"
Clarke blinked, clearly confused by the answer. She was about to speak again when their door slammed open and a tiny whirlwind of a warrior walked into the chambers.
"Okay, I've been waiting for over an hour at your door to see you and there is no way I'm..." The woman blushed furiously when she saw the state of nakedness the other two girls were in, quickly regaining her composure and going back to her bickering "Oh. That's why you didn't hear me before, huh? Had your own sound effects?" She winked mockingly at the girls and sat on Lexa's table cross-legged. Lexa turned her head to look at Clarke as the other girl huffed and let herself fall onto the bed, yet her fake indifference was overshadowed by the true affection in her voice
"What do you want," she growled while showing the tiniest smile "Octavia?"
