I heard Clarke yell. I ran into the hut. "What happened?" I asked walking up to Clarke. "Raven bit me." She said. I grabbed her arm. She bit her right over the burn mark Clarke had from grabbing my necklace out of the fire. I ran my finger along it. "I let her get to me." She said. I looked at Bellamy.

"You go on watch duty," I said. He nodded.

"She almost got to me too," I said grabbing some cloth and wrapping her arm. "We're not that different," I said with a sigh.

"It's my fault." She said. Her lip started quivering.

"What was?" I asked.

"Lexa..." I put my hand on her shoulder and pulled her into a hug.

"It's my fault. Titus was trying to shoot me." She sobbed. I could feel the tears swelling up in my eyes. I looked up.

"I'm sure she forgives you," I said. She inhaled a shaky breath. She wrapped her arms around me. She nuzzled her head into my chest.

"I should have stayed. I would have never met her." She said. I sighed.

"But you wouldn't have been able to save our people," I said. She just cried harder. I ran my hand along her hair. Her whole body would shake with every inhale. I just sat there and held her.

Clarke had asked me to move to a spot on the floor. I was sitting on the ground as she layed her head on my thighs. She looked up at me with those big blue eyes. I couldn't help but stare right back. "Xanny..." Clarke said. My eyes widened slightly at the use of the nickname. She hasn't called me that in a while.

"Yeah?" I said brushing my fingers through her hair.

"You've been there. Always. Through everything." She said. I smiled slightly.

"I'm glad you finally realized that," I said. She smiled.

"Thank you," she said. I sighed. She raised her hand and stroked my face. "My knight..." she said. I put my hand on hers.

"My princess..." I said. I could see her eyes becoming glossy.

"Remember that time on the Ark when my mom and dad fell asleep at the chancellors, and I snuck you into my room..." she said. I furrowed my eyebrows remembering faintly.

"Perhaps..." I said. She smiled and bit her bottom lip.

"That was the first time I ever saw you in a sports bra and boxers... God, you were so fit" she said. I chuckled slightly.

"Thanks for the compliment," I said. She chuckled. Her smile slowly faded.

"I remember your dad searched the ark for hours with two Guards only to find me asleep on top of you in my room," she said with a chuckle.

"I don't know why he didn't search there first?" I said chuckling.

"who knows what was going through his mind." She said. I nodded in agreement.

"Promise you're not leaving?" She asked. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Not for the world," I said. She smiled. She sat up and kissed my cheek.

"Just so you know... nothing happened between Lexa and I." She said.

"Was that something I should have been worried about?" I asked raising a brow. She smiled and shook her head. She seemed hesitant. "What's wrong?" I asked. Her eyes flicked down to my hands. We were sitting facing each other now.

"... I have something for you." She said. I felt a faint blush creep up my cheeks. A feeling I had missed.

"W-What is it?" I asked slightly nervous. She smiled. She reached behind her to her bag. She pulled out a box. She handed it to me. I grabbed it and looked at her as I opened it slowly. I studied the object. "Is this..." I said smiling as I picked it up and looked at it.
