Maybe

** Clarkes POV**

Clarke and Octavia began getting ready for their day with Lincoln.

Clarke thought Lincoln was nice but didn’t understand why Octavia wanted her third wheeling today, if they started making out during the movie she swore she was going to kill her. She could ask Finn to go maybe, only so she had a slight distraction, but did she want Lincoln to know she was with Finn? What if he knew about Raven?

“Do you mind if I invite Finn along?” Clarke asked while combing her hair.

Octavia froze for a second in putting her boots on. “Um it might be awkward if you did.”

Clarke makes a face confused. “How would that be awkward?” Did Octavia know about Finn and Raven? Clarke felt anger rising about the possibility of her best friend keeping that kind of secret from her. “Answer me Octavia.” She said through clenched teeth.

Octavias eyes widened, “So I didn’t tell you this because I knew you’d say no, but um Lincoln wants me to try and get along with his sister so he invited her, and you are my family here so I want you to come and support me. Plus you know her already so you might be able to help me get her to not hate me.” Octavia took in a deep breath after her nonstop talking.

“Wait Lexa is going to be there?! Octavia I was just with her yesterday!”

“Yeah... But I need you, please come Clarke. Please! I will owe you big time!” she said this clasping her hands in front of Clarke.

Clarke started walking around thinking, she didn’t want Lexa to know about Finn, she didn’t want her to see her as the other woman who broke her friend’s heart. Crap what was she going to do?

“Does Lincoln know me and Finn are a thing?”

“I mean he saw you together at the party I guess but we weren’t exactly paying attention to you two. He only saw him right when you left I think. Wait why does that matter?”

“Don’t let him find out about it. I don’t want Lexa to know.”

“You’re confusing me, why are you keeping your boyfriend a secret? Why does Lexa matter when it comes to Finn?

Clarke sat down and explained what she found out at the party to Octavia. She saw the changes in Octavias body as she talked.

“That son of a bitch!! Who does he think he is? When I get my hands on him I will kill him Clarke. You deserve better and so does that other girl!”

Clarke just waited for her friend to finish putting the pieces together.

“Wait why are you still with him? Are you an idiot? Do I need to kick your stupid ass too?” Octavia began walking towards Clarke like she was really going to hit her.

Clarke put her hands up in a surrender motion. “Look I don’t know, I really did like him, I don’t know if I do still, but he’s a nice distraction, I’m not in love with the boy O. Just, I am going to figure out what I want to do but until then, let’s not give Lexa reasons to hate me. So that favor, I’m cashing it in now. Lexa cannot know about Finn which means Lincoln can’t either.”

“You’re asking me to lie to my boyfriend, you know that right?” Octavia crossed her arm over her chest.

“I know, but please O.”

There was a knock on the door. Octavia looked up a smile automatically appearing on her face until she looked back at Clarke.

“Please.”

“Figure your shit out Griffin, I won’t keep your secret for long.”

Octavia walked to the door and was automatically enveloped in Lincolns muscular arms once she opened it.

He let go of Octavia and looked at Clarke. “Ready to have fun?”

She glared at him for a second, “Where’s Lexa?” His eyes widened and he looked at Octavia.

“You told her?” He looked back at Clarke, “Sorry this one was scared you would of said no. Lexa doesn’t know that it’s you either just so you know.”

Clarke face palmed. Lexa did not seem like the kind of person who liked surprises. “I swear if this makes things worse between me and her both of you will pay. Where is she?”

“Waiting in the car.” Lincoln said looking down at his feet like a kid in trouble.

“Well lets go then.” She picked up her phone and quickly wrote Lexa a text.

Clarke: I didn’t know until now, don’t blame me.

She grabs her coat and walks out following behind Octavia and Lincoln shaking her head at what the next couple of hours will bring.

**Lexas POV**

She was already grumpy, sitting in the back seat of the car so that Octavia could sit next to Lincoln. Step one in playing nice for Lincolns sake.

She pressed her head against the window when her phone rang once alerting het to the text message. She took her phone out surprised to see a text from Clarke. Her heart skipped a beat which confused her along with the message.

She began to type out her confusion when the car door was opened and she saw the Blonde right in front of her, giving her a little smile.

Lexa looked up at Lincoln, “Wait what is she doing here?” She turned back to Clarke who was getting into the car making Lexa scoot in to get out of her way. “Wait you're Blakes roommate?”

“Yes, nice to see you too Lexa.” Clarke rolled her eyes and Lexa just shrugged in response watching Clarke get comfortable. Clarke looked simple but still very pretty. Lexa realized she was staring when Clarke looked back at her, Lexa focused on Clarkes eyes, they reminded her of the sky. Clarke blushed and looked away from her. Lexa turned her attention forward and caught Lincoln’s eyes in the mirror, he was laughing at her chuckling lightly.

Lexa felt herself going red and kicked the back of his chair, which only made him laugh harder.

“Shut up and drive Lincoln.” She was giving him one of her looks and it worked, he choked down the rest of his laughter and began to drive them to their destination. They both got confused looks from Octavia and Clarke who just shrugged at each other in response.

There was kind of an awkward silence happening and everyone could feel it. Lexa didn’t really care though she just kept looking out the window, randomly stealing looks to see that Clarke was doing the same.

“So, how’s that paper you guys are working on going? Is the class pure hell?” Octavia obviously couldn’t handle the silence Lexa rolled her eyes at the window.

“It’s good I like the class so far, and Lexa is a beautiful writer.” Lexa turned around to look at Clarke suspiciously, to see if she was making fun of her but she seemed to be genuine so she just nodded her head in response. Not turning away from Clarke to see if she would say anything else.

“Yeah she’s always liked to write, even when we were younger she used to keep journals, its how I found out she was into girls. She used to, OW!! What the hell Lexa!?

Lexa was just glad they were at a red light when Lincoln was talking or she wouldn’t have been able to slap his head as hard she did to get him to shut up.

“You talk too much about things you don’t know little brother.” She settled back into her seat, avoiding Clarkes gaze which she felt almost as if the other girl was touching her.

“Little brother? Really? You are literally only three months older than me. Plus I’m bigger than you.”

“Your size matters little considering I can kick your ass anytime I want to.” Lincoln didn’t say anything knowing that she was probably right which only caused Octavia to begin giggling and Clarke to full out laugh.

Lexa liked the sound of Clarkes laugh, she watched her continue to laugh with a small smile on the corner of her lips.

** Calrkes POV**

Almost the whole car ride Clarke couldn’t stop herself from sneaking peaks at Lexa, why couldn’t she pull her eyes off of her for more than a few seconds at a time? She did learn something interesting though. Lexa was into girls, very interesting actually.

Were her and Raven a thing now? She didn’t like that idea though for some reason so she pushed it to the side.

They got to the movie theater early to see Batman Vs Superman, it being opening weekend they didn’t want to take any chances. They sat at a table once they got their tickets. Octavia and Lincoln declared that they were going to get snacks. They began walking away from her and Lexa, Lincoln absentmindedly rubbing where Lexa had hit him, making Clarke chuckle again.

She looked over to see Lexa watching her intently green eyes focused.

“I’ve never seen eyes like yours before.” Clarke closed her mouth tightly, there she went with the word vomit again. What the hell was up with that?

Lexa just tilted her head in response to one side. Clarke just shrugged in response, pulling a pen from her bag and a napkin from the table and began drawing.

She felt Lexa move closer to her to see what she was drawing, it made her skin tingle knowing that Lexa was closer to her than she had ever been, but it also made her nervous, she messed up her drawing. She huffed and crumpled it, looking up at Lexa who had that little pout she saw before.

“Why did you crumble it? “

Clarke shrugged, “I messed up its ruined.”

Lexa moved back, moving quickly to grab the crumpled napkin that Clarke had on the table. Clarkes eyes narrowed at Lexa in annoyance. Lexa just unrumpled it and studied it for a while meeting Clarkes eyes over the napkin.

“Just because something doesn’t turn out the way you want doesn’t mean its ruined.”

Clarke just stared. Who talks like that?

Lexa got up turned away from Clarke and began walking to the ticket collector. Clarke just sat there watching her, there was something about Lexa she couldn’t put her finger on but it intrigued her. She jumped up and tried to run after the other girl tripping in the process, she heard a giggle from behind her and turned to see Octavia and Lincoln. Octavia was giggling while Lincoln had a small frown on his face.

Clarke just stuck her middle finger up to O and made her way next to Lexa.

The movie was good but Clarke had never seen the Superman movie, she had questions that needed answers. She looked to ask Octavia but it seemed her and Lincoln weren’t watching. She sighed and shifted in her seat to be as far away from them as possible which brought her closer to Lexa.

She watched Lexa, who was so focused a bomb could go off and she didn’t think she would notice. Clarke moved in closer to whisper her question to Lexa who jumped when she felt Clarkes breath on her ear spilling some popcorn on the floor.

“Shit, what do you want Griffin?”

Clarke glared at her in response. Turning back to movie, shifting away from Lexa who was watching her with a glare of her own.

About two minutes passed when she felt Lexa tug on her sweater to get her attention, Clarke turned and Lexa just waited. Clarke sighed annoyed with the girl sitting next to her but decided to ask anyway because she was confused. She moved closer to Lexa so she could whisper.

“Why does Batman hate him so much?”

“He blames him for the people that died in his building from the beginning of the movie.”

Clarke tried to show her confusion with her face. “But he was trying save the world, right.” He did what he had to for the greater good.”

Lexa moved in closer now only inches away from her, “You are starting to think like a leader Griffin.” She had a slight smile on her lips.

Clarke was focused on Lexas lips the whole time she was talking.

“Will you two be quiet, trying to watch over here.” Lincoln was glaring at Lexa who only tilted her head in confusion before moving away from Clarke and focusing in on the movie once again.

Clarke saw Lincoln shake his head in Lexas direction, he caught her eyes and he frowned shaking his head at her now too.

What’s his problem she thought, he wasn’t even focused on the movie last time she saw.

The movie finished without any other interruption, Clarke kept her questions to herself. She went with O to use the bathroom. They were washing their hands when O said “Thanks for coming, I think Lexa is less bitchy around you for some reason, or maybe she’s just nicer around Lincoln, but thanks.”

Clarke nodded and made her way back out while Octavia fixed her hair and makeup when she heard Lincoln trying to yell quietly at his sister. Clarke started to walk faster to figure out what was wrong.

“Don’t act dumb Lexa you know what I’m talking about.” Lincoln looked up then and saw Clarke walking towards them, he just huffed and walked away. Clarke could see the tension in Lexas back, it scared her to see the other girl so visibly trying to hold in her anger.

**Lexas POV**

Clarke and Octavia went into the bathroom when Lincoln grabbed her arm.

She pulled it out of his grasp, “What the hell is your problem Lincoln?”

“You know what my problem is, do you like Clarke?”

Lexas eyes widened in response, “Are you fucking serious Lincoln? I’m here because you asked me to be, I’m playing nice because you asked me too and now that’s a problem?!”

He glared at her with intensity, “You’re only playing nice with Clarke, what the hell is that? You forget you have a girlfriend or something?”

Lexa shoved Lincoln away from her, “Don’t you dare make it seem like I have done something to betray Costia! I barely know Clarke, I have done nothing but attempt to be friendly for your sake.”

“Don’t act dumb Lexa you know what I’m talking about!” Lexa saw Lincoln look up in recognition before walking away. Her heart was beating so hard, she wanted to break something. How dare he? He knew nothing. She was his sister anyway not Costia, it didn’t matter how close the three had grown up together he should care more about her feelings anyway. She never told anyone except Raven about how little she and Costia talked anymore, but Lexa would never betray the girl, she knew that. Clarke Griffin was just her class partner.

At this thought she felt a hand on her back, she jerked away from the hand turning to see the very Clarke Griffin standing in front of her.

“What do you want?” She said as rudely as she possibly could.

Clarke just looked hurt at Lexas outburst. Lexa felt a pang of guilt but shook it off putting on her blank face, waiting for an answer.

Clarke shook her shoulders and glared at her,” I saw you fighting with Lincoln and wanted to make sure you were okay, don’t be an ass to me because of it.”

Lexas eyes widened, no one besides her brother ever had the guts to talk to her that way, she quickly changed her face back. “Maybe you should mind your business.” And with that she turned around and began walking after Lincoln.

Lexa was too mad to see anyone else at the moment so instead of going towards the arcade across from the movie theater in the mall she decided to walk around a bit, thinking over about how she had been acting with Clarke. She could admit that she watched the other girl more than necessary but that was it. She had done nothing that would insinuate that she was interested in her. She huffed in annoyance. Lincoln was just paranoid.

Lexa took out her phone and called Costia to try and calm herself down. Costia picked up right before Lexa almost gave up.

“Babe! It’s been so long since we have spoken! How are you?”

Lexa could feel herself getting lighter hearing Costias voice, it had been so long since they had spoken.

“It’s been almost two weeks Cos, I can’t not talk to you for that long, and I miss you.”

“I miss you more, are you okay? You sound off?” Lexa sighed Costia was able to read her better than anyone.

“No just had a fight with Lincoln, he’s being stupid.”

“Oh I miss him too! I haven’t spoken to him in like a month, but you know he’s probably just doing what he feels is best. Don’t worry about it too much, and tell him I say hi.”

Lexa felt a little better, especially knowing she would see Costia next weekend when she came to visit.

“I can’t wait to see you.”

“Yeah Lex, I gotta go but I will text you okay? I love you bye.” And with that the line went dead. Lexas eyes widened as she took the phone from her ear. She was getting really tired of this. She started walking back towards the arcade.

She walked around until she saw Lincoln and the girls, she joined them without saying anything. She did notice the glares that Clarke was throwing her way but decided to ignore them, for now.

Lincoln looked at her and studied her face, she knew trying to figure out what she was thinking. “Where did you go?”

She looked at her brother, she knew that Costia was right, Lincoln only ever did the things he did out of love. She sighed, “I was talking to Costia, she misses you.”

“I miss her too.”

Blake glared at Lincoln a moment before turning to Lexa, “Who is Costia?”

Lexa rolled her eyes at Octavias obvious jealousy. “Costia is my girlfriend.”

Lincoln smiled at that answer and pulled Octavia towards him. Lexa turned to Clarke to apologize for her rudeness earlier when her phone rang once, she pulled it out to check.

Costia: Hey I forgot to mention I won’t be able to make it next weekend, sorry. <3

Lexa growled and was ready to fight Costia on this when Lincoln stuck his hand out to see her phone now standing in front of her in between her and Clarke. Lexa sighed and handed it over. Lincoln frowned when he read the message, “Sorry that sucks.” He looked down real quick, “Sorry about earlier I was out of line.”

Lexa studied him, she nodded at his apology, and held her hand out for her phone. He handed it back to her moving closer to whisper to her. “You better apologize to Clarke, I think she’s going to try and kill you. He stepped away from her, “I’m backing off now.” He walked away grabbing Octavia to follow him leaving the two girls alone.

Lexa was looking at her phone thinking of what to write back when she looked up and she saw a death glare from Clarke aimed directly at her. She stepped forward to speak to her but Clarke just took a step back which had her against some coin machine. Lexa raised an eyebrow at Clarke being stuck and took another step forward.

“Don’t even think about apologizing to me Woods, not going to happen.”

Lexa could see that Clarke was a stubborn girl and that just made this fun for her. She put her phone in her pocket, knowing that Clarke was watching her, she took another step forward, now only two feet separating them.

“Who said I was going to apologize?” Clarke tried to walk around her but she stepped in front of her again. Clarke rolled her eyes and went to move the other way, only to have her path blocked once again.

“Alexandria fucking Woods move out of my way before I freak out.”

Lexa grimaced at her name. She hated when people used her actual first name, “I’m sorry Clarke, I was upset with Lincoln and I took it out on you, it wasn’t fair. You are the princess of the sky and I a grounder who should know her place, will you forgive me? She pulled her arms behind her back and looked at the ground then back to Clarkes face trying to hide her smirk but hoping Clarke took the apology seriously.

She was getting kind of nervous waiting for a response. She was studying Clarkes face trying to see the emotion. She saw Clarke go from angry, doubtful, a big smile, to a wicked smile. She raised her brow at that one.

“I will forgive if and only if you give me all the tickets you win tonight.” Lexa rolled her eyes trying to hold back a smile. She stuck out her hand for Clarke to shake. Clarke grabbed her arm up to elbow though so Lexa did the same. She never showed her dorky side to anyone except the few people she kept close.  This was a big deal for her and she hoped Clarke recognized it.

She let go of Clarkes arm and put hers in her pockets, now feeling embarrassed about her apology, but Clarke just grabbed her arm and dragged her towards where Lincoln and Octavia were playing skee ball.

“Look at you two, made up already?” Lincoln laughed seeing Lexas discomfort.

“Lexa is the best apologizer I have ever met so yup couldn’t say no even if she deserved another hour of my attitude.” Clarke said grinning at her widely.

“You never forgive me that fast!” Octavia pouted and turned to Lexa. “Show me your ways because I will definitely piss her off soon enough.”

Lexa rolled her eyes at that. Maybe Octavia wasn’t too bad but she wouldn’t ever tell Lincoln that.

Lexa beat everyone at almost everything, even Lincoln at the punching game. By the end of the night Clarke had a ridiculous amount of tickets and teddy bear from the claw machine that she claimed Lexa had to give her because of their agreement.

Lexa just rolled her eyes and passed the bear to Clarke, she didn’t really want the damn thing anyway. She had remained pretty quiet the rest of the night except to boast about all of her winning. She did her best not to glare at their group, the hardest thing to do when hanging out with Octavia and Clarkes constant back and forth, and Lincoln and Octavias obsession with each other.

It was a good night in Lexas opinion a lot less annoying than she thought it would be. Her mood changed when she got home and remembered her last message from Costia though. She has begun wondering if Costia is cheating on her.  Her best friend/girlfriend wouldn’t do that to her though, right?

Lexa decided to text her back.

Lexa: We need to talk.
