Maybe

**Lexas POV**

Lexa was hot, why was it so damn hot? She threw the blanket off of herself and turned to face the wall, but there was something in her way. She groaned and pushed at it.

“Stop pushing!”

Lexas eyes opened in surprise, and she saw Clarkes head pop up from a pillow. Lexa started rubbing her eyes because she must be seeing things. Clarke pulled her hands down, “Stop messing with your eyes.” Clarke rolled over putting her back to face Lexa. “Go back to sleep.”

Lexa laid on her back and stared at the ceiling, remembering everything that had happened the night before. She told Clarke things about herself barely anyone knew. She just hoped she had been right and Clarke had slept through the end of her talking.

Lexa closed her eyes, she felt Clarke moving around again, but tried to ignore it, but then she felt an arm go around her waist. Lexa tensed up, how could she get her off of her without waking her up? Lexa was frozen she shouldn’t let Clarke hold her like this, if Lincoln saw this he would freak out on her. Shit.

Like a saving grace Lexas alarm started going off. She went to sit up and turn it off when Clarke pulled her in closer and began mumbling in her ear, something about eight am classes being hell.

“Clarke.” Clarke burrowed in closer to her, She couldn’t do this, Lexa went to get up again, but once again Clarke pulled her in closer, nestling her head into Lexas neck. Goosebumps rose on Lexas neck where she could feel the blondes breath and she felt herself shiver.

Lexa inhaled deeply, she shouldn’t be effected this was way, it was wrong because.. wait why was it wrong?  Costia! Lexa shook her head trying to clear it. “Clarke get off!” The blonde jumped and pulled herself away.

“Lexa? What’s wrong?”

Lexa got up quickly and went to the bathroom closing the door behind her. She turned the water on and began splashing her face, she looked into the mirror noting the red on her cheeks. She had to go see Costia she didn’t have a choice, she needed to be reminded that she was in love, she couldn’t be weak, she didn’t feel anything for Clarke, not like that, she had just been alone for so long. Lexa nodded at herself in the mirror.

It wasn’t Clarkes fault, she knew that. Clarke was her friend, just her friend who needed her right now, she had been through enough. Lexa would help her any way she could, but first she needed to work things out with Costia. Maybe Clarke was just always close with her friends that way. Lexa shouldn’t let it affect her, and just give the blonde what she needed.

Lexa nodded she needed to use her head.

**Clarkes POV**

She jumped when Lexa yelled at her to get off, and then Lexa ran to the bathroom, she had been in there a little longer than she actually needed to be Clarke thought.

Clarke sat up on the bed, rubbing her face in order to wake herself up. She remembered everything Lexa told her last night. All of it, she hadn’t fallen asleep but pretended to be because she wanted Lexa to continue talking. Lexa had actually fallen asleep first but not before placing a kiss on Clarkes head.

Once she was sure Lexa was asleep Clarke just watched her, she was beautiful, and so relaxed when sleeping. She couldn’t help but press a kiss to her shoulder. Now that she was wide awake and thought about she was definitely a creep. Her new friend had taken care of her and Clarke was taking it to another level.

Octavia was right… She liked Lexa. If she wasn’t sure about it last night she was definitely sure about it this morning. She was half asleep when she tried cuddling Lexa it wasn’t fair. She didn’t really do it on purpose. Lexa smell was intoxicating though. Clarke laid back and pulled the blanket up to her face, it smelled like Lexa, it all did. Clarke shook her, she needed to stop.

She had never liked a girl before let alone been physically attracted to one, it is not that she was against it but it was new and different. She thought back to the last time she had touched herself, if she was being honest, she was thinking about Lexa when she had done it.

Clarke heard the bathroom door open, but she couldn’t look at Lexa, she just couldn’t now that she was figuring everything out. She kept her head under the covers trying to calm herself down

“Clarke, we have to go.” She felt Lexa shaking her arm. “Clarke can you just get up so we don’t have to fight about something again!?”

She brought her head out from under the sheet to see a frustrated Lexa looking back at her. She looked cute when she was frustrated. Clarkes cheek flushed at that thought and she ducked her head back down under the covers.

That didn’t last long though because the sheets were dragged away from her a moment later, she tried pulling them back but this was Lexa she was playing tug of war with, she lost instantly.

“Clarke Griffin you will never spend another night here if this is how you act in the morning.” Clarke sat up at the threat and scrambled to stand up at the end of the bed. Lexa was glaring at her, she walked around her with her arms up in surrender as she made her way to the bathroom.

She could hear Lexa mumbling. She heard something about an annoying blonde which made her giggle. Lexa must of heard because she was then being yelled at to hurry the hell up. Clarke sighed and finished up in the bathroom, making her way to Lexa who was getting everything together.

Clarke sat next to her and began putting her shoes on, she bumped shoulders into Lexa who just glared at her again. Clarke rolled her eyes at that. “So you’re not a morning person.”

Lexa just got up and went to get her jacket to go, leaving Clarke scrambling to make sure she got all of her stuff too. They began walking to class, silently Lexa still being grumpy but at least walking slow enough for her to keep up.

“Lexa, I’m hungry.” Lexa just glanced at her from the side.

 “We don’t have time to stop for something, thanks to your shenanigans this morning.”  Clarke rolled her eyes at that, she only stood in bed like ten minutes longer than Lexa did.

“Want to grab something after class with me?” Clarke got nervous for a second, she doesn’t think she ever initiated seeing Lexa outside of class unless it was class related. She shrugged it off, they were friends now, hell she slept in the other girls bed last night.

“I can’t. I am going to visit my girlfriend this weekend, so I have to go back to my room and get my stuff together so I can leave as soon as possible and surprise her.”

Clarke froze for a second, missing a step and then just stopped walking. How could she have forgotten Lexa had a girlfriend. She was an idiot. She barely knew the girl and she had a crush on her. Was she sixteen again or something?

“Lexa I don’t know you!? Lexa stopped walking turning and looking at Clarke with a confused face.

“What? Keep walking Griffin.” Clarke jogged to catch up. Thinking of how little she knew about the girl she was walking with.

“I don’t know you, you don’t know me. But you let me stay over your house last night. Why?

Lexa shrugged in response,” I don’t know, you needed it and you needed someone, I was there. Was I supposed to just leave you in your room yesterday? Should I have?”

Clarke shook her head quickly. “No you... you were amazing yesterday,” She ducked her head down trying to make sure Lexa didn’t see her blush. “Thank you for that, you didn’t have to.”

Lexa nodded and seemed to think before responding, “You’re my friend now… maybe.”

Clarke laughed at that, “I’m your friend maybe?  I feel so flattered to even be a maybe friend to the great Alexandria Woods.”

“Don’t call me that or we will officially not be friends.” That made Clarke laugh more. They walked in silence for a bit more. They were almost to the class when Clarke got the courage to ask the question on her mind.

“So going to see your girlfriend?”

She looked to Lexa who just nodded in response. Clarke waited for more but Lexa wasn’t sharing.

“So how long have you guys been together?” She was expecting for Lexa to say a couple a months or maybe a year.

“A little over three years now.” Clarkes eyes widened. Three years?!

“Wait what year are you in?! How did you guys meet? How old are you?!”

“That’s a lot of questions Clarke.” Clarke was stubborn though so she kept her eyes on Lexa while they walked until Lexa would relent and answer. She got her way.

“I am a junior credit wise, I took a lot of AP classes in high school. I met Costia in high school, she was my best friend before we started dating. I am 21 years old though because I kind of got left back in third grade.”

“So you basically caught back up to the right grade again because of all your AP classes.” Lexa just nodded. “I can’t believe you got left back, you’re so smart.”

Lexa just shrugged,” It was a tough year for me.”

Next thing Clarke knew they were entering the classroom together. Professor Kane looked up and saw they had come in together and were talking, she noticed his smile as he turned to prepare the board.

They chose their seats and Clarke was doing good, she was completely focused on what Mr.Kane was saying when Lexa put a note on her desk. Clarke looked up questioningly but Lexa was looking straight ahead as if she didn’t do anything.

“I know what I want.” What was she talking about?

“What you want for what?”

“You still owe me from our deal.” Clarke smiled looking at Lexa who was pretending to be paying attention to Mr.Kane.

“Okay, what is it?”

“Draw for me.”  Clarke just stared at that last note confused. Draw for her? What did she mean? Before she could write back class was over, she shoved the note into her bag trying to move fast enough so she could ask Lexa what she meant. Lexa was getting up when Clarke grabbed her arm.

“What do you mean draw for you? Like draw you?”

Lexa shook her head smirking, “No don’t draw me but..” She shrugged. “I like your drawings so I don’t know when you draw something I want you to show me and give me the ones you don’t want.”

Clarke just stared at her confused still, why would she want her stuff. “Lexa what would you even do with them? They really aren’t that good anyway.”

Lexa glared at her, “They are good, you’re talented just accept it, I don’t know what I will do with them, I just know I want them. These are the terms of the deal, accept or we go back to fighting.”

Clarkes eyes widened, “You’re threatening me!”

Lexa rolled her eyes, “You’re exaggerating. I have to go soon, so whats it going to be?”

Clarke watched Lexa who was waiting for an answer, she felt like they were having a staring contest. Lexas eyes were so green and intense, there was no way she would win. “Fine, I will give you some of my sketches I guess.” She looked up to see a triumphant Lexa, she rolled her eyes in response. They began walking out of the room.

Clarke went to say goodbye to Lexa when she spotted Finn in the corner of her eye. She automatically grabbed Lexas arm, and pulled her along faster.

“Clarke what are you doing!? Where are you going?! Stop.”

Clarke kept pulling trying to get away. She saw Finn glare and stomp in the opposite direction, just as Lexa tugged her arm away from her and began glaring at her.

“Sorry I um….” Lexa must have seen the change in her face because she started looking around.

“I saw my ex, I just wanted to get away, and I don’t know my instinct told me to grab you too.”

“Where is he? What does he look like?” Lexa was searching the crowd like a hawk trying to spot her prey.

“He walked away already, sorry about that.” Lexa glared at her again.

“You should have told me earlier, I want know who this guy is and have a talk with him about how to treat women.” Clarke rolled her eyes at that.

“Sure Lexa you want to talk.” Lexa shrugged in response.

“Are you going to be okay?” Clarke felt her stomach flip thinking that Lexa worried for her. Clarke nodded.

“Okay, I really do have to go, but you should turn your phone on.”

Clarke nodded in response, “It should be back in my room, I will turn it on when I get home.”

Lexa nodded, “Alright, well have a nice weekend.”

Lexa turned to walk away but Clarke grabbed her and pulled her in for a hug, Lexa stiffened but relaxed after a second, hugging Clarke back quickly.

“Thank you Lexa.” Lexa pulled away.

“Stop thanking me. Goodbye ClarKe.”

Wow Clarke loved the way Lexa said her name, she made it sound….. sexy. Clarkes cheeks flushed at the thought and she turned to walk away before Lexa could notice.

**Lexas POV**

She went to her room to pack everything she would need. She picked up her phone to tell Costia she was coming. By some miracle she picked up.

“Lexa! Hey!”

“Hey Cos, where are you going to be in four hours?”

“Um here.”

She heard Costia laugh like what she asked was funny.

“Pick me up from your main campus?”

She heard an intake of breath.

“Wait what? You’re coming here Lex?”

“Yeah, my bus leaves in thirty minutes.”

“Babe I have a lot of practice this weekend that’s why I couldn’t go to you.”

Lexa didn’t respond waiting to see what Cos would say next.

“But if you’re okay with that, I will spend every free moment I have with you while you’re here.”

Lexa sighed in relief at that response.

“I’m good with that. See you soon, text you when I get close.”

“See you soon beautiful!”

Lexa hung up the phone and started heading to the main circle to wait for the bus.

**Two hours later**

This was the longest bus ride of her life. She had been listening to music, but she had another two and half hours left. Her phone rang alerting her to a message. It was from Clarke. Why would Clarke be texting her.

Lexa opened the message seeing that it was a picture. A picture of a painting of the stars, but more than that, outer space. There was so much color and beauty, Lexa had never seen anything like it before. Another message came in from Clarke.

Clarke: I did this a while ago but figured if like my stupid doodles, you might like this too.

Lexa just stared at the picture for a full five minutes, trying to take it in. How could someone paint that? It looked impossible.

Lexa: You did that?

 Lexa saved the picture, and decided to just make folder putting in the other picture she had of Clarkes art.

Clarke: Lol yes Lexa.

Lexa: Incredible.

Clarke: Lol thanks. How’s the ride going?

 Lexa looked out the window, she wished they were driving faster.

Lexa: Slow.

Clarke: Poor Lexa :(

 Lexa rolled her eyes. Clarke was such a pain.

Lexa: Shut it Griffin, why are you so annoying?

Clarke: Yet you are still talking to me, you must love me.

Seriously this girl was full of it. Lexa could fix that.She put her phone in her pocket and closed her eyes, maybe she could take a nap.

When Lexa opened her eyes, two hours had passed. She smiled to herself, there was nothing better than sleeping through long rides. She took out her phone to text Costia that she would be there in ten minutes when she saw she had three different texts from Clarke.

Clarke: Lexa?

Clarke: Haha I get it.

Clarke: I can’t stand you

Lexa laughed out loud, covering her mouth trying to cover the sound.

Lexa: ;)

She had to give the girl some kind of response. Lexa opened her messages with Costia.

Lexa: Be there in less than 10.

She had been to Costias school maybe five times since Costia began attending. Costia had probably visited her school about the same amount which meant they had rarely seen each other in the three years they had been apart. Unless their vacations had lined up which wasn’t often not including winter and summer breaks, but Costia spent her winter break with family in Florida so it didn’t count.

Lexas phone vibrated.

Clarke: Nope not talking to you now.

Lexa smiled, Clarke would never out stubborn her, she would have to learn. Lexa was more stubborn and in the end would get her way.

The bus started pulling in to the circle so Lexa put her phone away. She grabbed her stuff when the bus stopped and stepped out. Next thing she knew she was in Costias arms, she hadn’t even seen the girl coming. Lexa dropped her bag and wrapped her arms around the girls waist.

“I didn’t realize how much I missed you until right now Lex.”

Lexa just smiled and buried her face in Costias familiar curls. But then she heard someone clearing their throat so she let go of Costia and looked for the source of the sound. She went to glare at the girl she saw standing oddly close to them, until Costia went to stand next to her. Lexa felt confused. She had never seen this girl before on any of her previous visits.

Costia put her arm around the girls shoulders who snuggled in closer. Lexa raised her eyebrow at the movement. That was interesting. Lexa didn’t like her she didn’t know why but her gut told her not to, and she always trusted her gut.

“Lex this is my friend Nia.”
