My eyes slowly flutter open hearing soft murmurs from a distant. When my eyes open I'm met with a ceiling, no wonder. Slowly, I look around the room finally meeting Lexa who shuts the door and begins walking towards me. I go to position myself to sit up, somehow managing to prop myself on pillows. Lexa walks over, taking a seat on the bed causing it to dip in a bit. My eyes switch to her, our eyes locking immediately.
"Wha-What hap-happened?" I question, my voice cracking a bit.
"You fainted," Lexa simply responds. I nod slowly, looking away from the girl and spotting my wrist that happens to be covered in bandages. I think for a moment. Long and hard before remembering bits and pieces of events.
"Nyko found the back of your head bleeding which he said caused you to black out."
I nod once again, remaining quiet. Silence then takes over the both of us. Yet, I keep my eyes on my bandaged wrists but can feel Lexa's green eyes staring at me. I clench my jaw picking up my head catching the commander's eyes.
"W-what is this Lexa?" I ask.
"What is what?"
"This!" I pick up my voice. "Why are you helping me when you want my people dead?"
Lexa remains silent, but I can see her eyes get wide. I shake my head from side to side looking away a moment before looking back at her. Her eyes still wide, but her face remaining blank.
"Why are you keeping me here?" I pause a moment then continue. "WHY DIDN'T YOU LET YOUR PEOPLE KILL ME WHEN THEY FOUND ME? IT WOULD JUST BE BEST FOR EVERYONE-"
"Y/N," She says sternly, cutting me off. Her eyes have relaxed but her eyes now speak a different story. One I'm not sure I really want to know, but I stand my ground.
"I was ready to die in the woods. They could've finished me, THEY SHOULD'VE FINISHED ME."
"No-"
"AND WHY NOT?" I shout, pausing a moment. My eyes flickering back and forth between her green eyes. "You want Skaikru dead. Well here I am Lexa! Kill-" Before I can finish my sentence I feel Lexa's lips on mine. I stare at her a brief second and before I can react she pulls away our eyes lock as my jaw sets.
"I-I'm sorry-" I shake my head head and lean forwards wrapping my arms around her neck, placing my lips on her's. My eyes close and I feel the softness of her lips kiss back. Gentle and gingerly. That is till I feel myself fall back, her falling on top of me, but not all the way. My head hits the pillow our lips remain locked. I let my hands run through her hair, before we break apart from kissing.
I open my eyes for a brief moment that before I can see anything I feel soft kisses on my neck. Instantly, my eyes close as my teeth sink into my bottom lip. That's when I feel Lexa's hands tremble on my shirt against my skin trying to pull it off. I open my eyes sitting up helping her till my back's right back down against the bed.
