Maybe

**One Week Later**

**Clarkes POV**

She was never so happy to be left handed in her life, until she met Lexa, at this moment sitting in class both of them taking notes with their fingers still intertwined. Struggling with scissors and always having ink on her hand seemed worth it now.

She could tell that Mr. Kane noticed, he even gave her a little smirk once and she couldn’t help but blush slightly. She paused in her note taking to look at Lexa.

She was concentrating so hard, with her glasses perched on the end of her nose. Clarke couldn’t help but lift their hands and press a kiss to the back of Lexas, making her look at her and give her a quick smile before going back to work. She sighed and followed suit.

The end of class came pretty fast thankfully, she stood up packing her stuff.

“Woods, Griffin, can I speak to you both?” Clarkes eyes widened and she looked at Lexa who also had a confused expression on her face, but she just shrugged and began walking towards him.

Clarke followed behind her.

“Yes Mr.Kane?”

“I just wanted to check in and see how you two are doing.”

She felt her face turn red and couldn’t even look at him, thankfully Lexa was able to handle it.

“We are good ser, I am actually thankful you made us work together. Clarke has taught me a lot.”

“I can see that, both of your works have been amazing and I am looking forward to your final paper, don’t disappoint me.”

“We won’t, thank you.”

Clarke looked up then and nodded her goodbye to him before turning and half running out of the room, with Lexa trailing behind. She stopped outside of the door, and took a deep breathe in waiting for Lexa to come out.

What she didn’t expect was the glare she got from her right away. Lexa walked past her without saying anything. Clarke scrambled to catch up.

“Lexa, whats wrong?”

“Nothing, I’m going to get food.”

“Babe, talk to me.”

She didn’t expect Lexa to spin on her so fast and jumped back. “What was that Clarke? So he saw us holding hands, you are that embarrassed to be with me?”

She froze, that definitely wasn’t what it was. She was honestly just confused at the same time, Lexa had never shown any real insecurities so for her this was definitely uncharted territory having to reassure her.

She reach forward and cupped Lexas cheek, “Babe, I would never be embarrassed to be with you, have you seen how hot you are?” Lexa rolled her eyes.

“I don’t mean look wise Clarke.. I mean because I am a girl. Have you told anyone about us?”

Raven, Lincoln, and Octavia know.”

“I told Raven and Lincoln, and then Lincoln told Octavia. Have you told anyone Clarke?”

She frowned, she hadn’t told anyone. She didn’t realize until that moment. She hadn’t even told Wells yet.

“No, but I will Lexa I swear. I’m not ashamed to be with a girl, you should know that. I have just been so absorbed in being with you, I haven’t really spoken to my friends much recently.”

She could tell Lexa was trying to decide if she was going to believe her not. She moved forward to press a kiss to her lips, she sighed in relief when Lexa kissed her back.

“I can totally find a speaker and announce that you are my girlfriend to the whole campus, maybe then people would stop checking you out so much, it gets annoying. I might have to pee on you to mark my territory I swear.”

She smiled as Lexa chuckled and shoved her shoulder lightly before taking her hand and walking towards the cafeteria.

“If you pee on me, you will be single Clarke Griffin.”

She put her finger to her chin pretending to think about it and then shrugged, “fine I will think of something else then.”

Lexa just shook her head with a smile on her face. Clarke watched her thinking how lucky she was, Lexa never let a fight or disagreement come between them or ever held it against her. It was harder for her to that but she was working on it, Lexa was worth it.

She needed to prove that she was willing to tell anyone.

“Lexa?”

“Yeah baby?”

“When my parents pick me up after finals week in three weeks will you meet them?”

Lexa stopped walking and turned towards her. “You want me to meet your parents?”

“Of course, they should meet you before I ask them if you can come visit over summer and stay with us.”

Lexas eyes widened, making Clarke frown.

“You want me to visit and stay with you during the summer?”

“Lexa, how did you plan on doing long distance during the break?”

She shrugged, “I’m not good with long distance Clarke.”

Clarke lost her breathe for a moment, she closed her eyes willing herself not to panic and freak out like she has done before without letting Lexa explain herself. She opened her eyes, Lexa was watching her confused.

“Are you planning on breaking up with me? “

Lexas eyes widened even more if that was possible.

“No! Ofcourse not, I’m just saying I don’t know how to do long distance babe, not that I don’t want to try. Long distance..” She shrugged her shoulders,” I did it for years with Costia and I might as well have been single for it. I don’t want that to be us.”

Clarke felt herself relax, “that’s why I’m saying you will be visiting me throughout the summer, and I’d like to visit you too babe. If that’s okay with you.”

Lexa smiled and pulled her in and wrapped her in a hug, she returned it automatically and they just stood that way for a bit. “I want nothing more than to have you in my home Clarke. My parents will love you by the way.”

“You think so?” She felt a kiss pressed to her forehead before Lexa pulled away.

“They have no choice, I’m not letting you go.”

Hearing Lexa say that made her happier than she had ever been. She looked at her as they continued walking, and it hit her. She was in love, no longer just falling. She wanted to tell her, she wanted to tell everyone but she had to make it special. It had to be the perfect moment.

**Lexas POV**

She couldn’t help but glance at Clarke multiple times as they walked back to her room after grabbing some food. She was beautiful.

She opened the door and made her way to her room, Clarke trailing close behind. When she opened the door Clarke wasted no time laying on her side of the bed and turning the tv on.

“You know, you’re extremely comfortable here Clarke, you basically have your own drawer too.”

Clarke stuck her tongue out at her. “I offered to sleep in my room, and what did you say Lexa?”

She rolled her eyes ignoring the question.

“You said I couldn’t because my bed was too little for both of us.”

“Well it is! That one night you basically slept on top of me, my back just stopped hurting.”

“No one said you would be sleeping there with me.”

She huffed and crossed her arms, “don’t act like you don’t want to sleep with me every night. If you went to sleep in your room you would show up at my door in the middle of the night.”

Clarke crawled towards her and pulled her to sit before pressing a kiss to her cheek, “you are probably completely right. Plus I need clothes here or we would constantly have to go to my room.”

Lexa nodded moving so she was sitting between Clarkes legs facing the t.v.  Clarke began playing with her hair, it made her tired. “You are putting me to sleep and I have to leave for practice soon.”

Clarke stopped her hand movement pressing a kiss to the back of her head, “Sorry Lex. Lexa?”

“Yeah?”

“Will you go out on a date with me, an official one?” She turned her head to look at her. She could tell Clarke was nervous asking her, which just made her smile.

“I’d love to, when?”

“Today? Around six so you have enough time to get ready.”

“Sounds good, what do I wear?”

“Whatever you want it’s very low key. Just meet me at my room then?”

“Yeah.”

Lexa felt how nervous she was about later, but also excited, it wasn’t like she and Clarke hadn’t done things just them before but it was never explicitly a date. Her alarm went off telling her she had to leave for practice. She got up and went to the bathroom real quick only to return finding Clarke on her phone.

She froze at the sight, it wasn’t that she had anything to hide at all but seeing Clarke feel the need to go through her phone honestly bothered her especially because it was done behind her back. When Clarke saw her she put the phone down as if she hadn’t been caught snooping.

“I have to go, you going to hang out here a little?”

“Umm yeah, have a good practice.”

Lexa nodded and turned to walk away after grabbing her phone when Clarke pulled her back pressing a kiss to her lips quickly.

**Clarkes POV**

She knows Lexa saw her with her phone, she sucks at sneaking but she needed to do it anyway.

She picked up her own phone and dialed the number, she had been repeating over and over again in her head.

“Hello?”

“Raven?”

“Yeah, who is this?"

“It’s Clarke, I stole your number from Lexas phone, I want to plan something special for tonight and was hoping you would help.”

“What’s the special occasion?”

“I want to tell her I love her.”

“How stereotypically gay of you falling in love so fast. But I will definitely help you Griffin, Lexa deserves the best and you seem to be making her happy.”

She rolled her eyes but couldn’t help the smile that came to her face at knowing she made Lexa happy, she just knew she wanted to continue doing it.

“I’m at Lexas meet me here?”

“Yeah, be there in twenty.”

Clarke took out a sketch book and began doodling while she waited, before she even knew it there was a knock coming from the apartment door, she moved to let Raven in.

“Alright what do you want to do?”

“I don’t know that’s what I need help with. Name some of Lexas favorite things.”

“Netflix, Lacrosse, Candles, Chinese food. That damn show.”

“Raven, I want more than just netflix and chill!”

“That’s what she likes Clarke, shes really simple.”

“What if I take her out for Chinese tonight?”

“She rather eat in.”

She could feel her frustration growing. She covered her face with her hands and took in a deep breathe.

“Okay candles, I can work with candles, and ordering in food, that could be romantic right?”

Raven nodded her head enthusiastically.

She was trying to concentrate on what could be romantic, it hit her.

“Raven do you have a projector?”

Raven looked confused for a moment, but shook her head no. Clarke frowned.

“But I know where to get one.” Clarke jumped and hugged her.

“Hey, I don‘t go that way but I’m totally flattered!” She pushed her away and stuck up her middle finger making Raven laugh loudly.

“I can’t figure out how you and Lexa are friends.”

“Get used to it, I’m not going anywhere. And by the way if you hurt her, I will hurt you. Do you understand me?”

Clarkes eyes widened at the threat, and she could tell that Raven really meant it, she could see the strength in her eyes. It reminded her of Lexa. She knew why they were friends now, two strong women, they probably couldn’t help it.

“Yeah, I get it Rey.” Raven nodded not averting her eyes driving her point home.

“Alright,” She stood up, “Where do you want me to bring the projector to?”

Clarke stood up too grabbing her stuff, “My room as soon as possible.”

**********

It had taken the better part of next couple of hours just to clean her and Octavias room, She threw herself on her bed in frustration, looking around at the now spotless room. She had even cleared one of the walls so she could project Lexas favorite show there.

She laid blankets down on the floor and one draping from her bed to Octavias, creating a kind of tent/fort for them to lay in comfortably, hopefully Lexa would be open to spending the night there now.

She grabbed the bag of candles and began spreading them around her room, if an RA showed up she was going to be in so much trouble. She shrugged she should be good as long as it didn’t cause an accidental fire.

She had already called and ordered the Chinese food Lexa would be there any moment, but Raven still hadn’t shown up. She pulled out her phone to text her.

Clarke: Where are you?”

Raven: Be there soon, Wick needed some convincing to let me borrow it ;)

Clarke: Ew just hurry up.

Clarke: Please.

Raven: Nice add on.

She rolled her eyes.

Lexa: Walking up the stairs.

Son of a bitch. Clarke ran around lighting all of the candles as fast as she could. She turned the lights off and opened the door, stepping out as quickly as possible so Lexa wouldn’t see into the room.

She could see Lexa trying to peek behind her.

“Hey beautiful. So um change of plans we are staying in my room I have something planned but I’m waiting on one more thing, so I’m stalling.” She gave Lexa her biggest smile, but she just looked skeptical.

“What are we waitig for exactly?”

“Ravens bringing something for me.”

Lexa raised an eyebrow at her before sitting herself down on the ground. “How did you get Raven involved?”

“Took her number out of your phone earlier.”

Lexa smiled at her then, Clarke sat so they were sitting next to each other.

“Who is Wick by the way?”

“Ugh trust me, you do not want to know anything about Wick when it comes to Raven, he is a nice guy though.”

She laughed and moved so she was facing Lexa.

“How was practice?”

Lexa leaned forward so her head was laying on Clarkes shoulder. “Exhausting, I am so tired babe.”

“Not too tired I hope.” She could feel herself pouting, she wanted Lexa as excited as she was.

Lexa lifted her head and smiled at her, “As long as sex is involved I am definitely not too tired.” She ended it with a wink which was the funniest thing she had ever seen. She burst out laughing at her girlfriends corniness.

Lexa pouted and crossed her arms looking way too adorable. Clarke couldn’t help but press a kiss to her lips before leaning their foreheads together. She heard footsteps approaching she hoped it was Raven.

She looked up and her heart stopped, Lexa must have sensed the change because she looked up a moment later and tensed.

“Just the two girls I was hoping to bump into. Did you miss me princess?”

Clarke stood and Lexa followed right after, Clarke couldn’t help but stand protectively in front of her, she glanced behind her to see Lexa looking at Finn like she was going to kill him. She caught her eyes for a moment.

“I’m sorry Lexa.” She got a confused face from her before she turned around to face Finn again.

“Finn, please just go, don’t do this.”

She felt Lexa push her out of her way so she was standing between the both of them looking back and forth.

“You two know each other? How?”

“Princess you didn’t tell her about me? I’m honestly hurt, I thought our relationship meant more to you than that.”

Clarke pulled her eyes from Finn to Lexa, she wished she would have never done that.
