Clexa One Shots (Discontinued)

It started with a kiss part 1

"You sent for me?" Clarke asked, a hint of annoyance in her voice. The last conversation she had had with the commander had been rather unpleasant and had left her with a mix of emotions she was not in the mindset to deal with.

"Yes," Lexa replied softly, to Clarke's surprise. She seemed strangely at ease; a 180 degree shift from before. "Octavia has nothing to fear from me." Clarke let out a small sigh of relief as Lexa's eyes studied her. The blonde, though relieved, looked still unmoved. Octavia's safety was what she had argued for before and yet, she had argued for something else as well. "I do trust you, Clarke," Lexa spoke, though unable to look at her as she said this.

Stepping closer, Clarke's eyes finally growing softer, as if these words were what she needed to hear. "I know how hard that is for you," Clarke's voice was just as soft – understanding and patient and grateful.

"You think our ways are harsh," the Commander began, turning to face Clarke, "but it's how we survive."

"Maybe life should be about more than just surviving," Clarke offered, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Don't we deserved better than that?" Her eyes fell to the table beside them, a defeated look in her eyes, as if even she could not be entirely sure of what she meant.

Lexa did however. Or at least she chose to give it her own interpretation. She did not know about herself, for she had always been told that she was born to lead and nothing more. But, still, Clarke was at least half right. Clarke deserved more. Lexa ached to give her more. "Maybe we do," the words slipped out, as she stared at the blonde's full lips. And as if out of pure instinct, when their gazes met, Lexa reached out to hold Clarke's face and leaned in.

Their mouths touched, softly. Gently. Slowly. Clarke had been dazed by a moment of confusion by the unexpected events that were now unfolding, but it did not take long until she was reciprocating the kiss.

They felt warmth. Softness and warmth, beginning at the tip of their lips and spreading through the entirety of their bodies. They flowed into each other, and the worries of war and death and grief slipped away from them. Everything seemed to slip away from them, until there was only Clarke and Lexa. Not the Sky Princess and the Commander – no. Just Clarke and Lexa, stripped of their titles and standing before each other, vulnerable, aching, and weak like two humans in lust, in love.

"Lexa," Clarke breathed as she pulled away slightly, but leaning her forehead in onto Lexa's.

"Yes, Clarke?" Her breath felt hot on Clarke's skin and she shivered.

"What are we doing?" She couldn't deny that this particular moment had passed through her mind several times before, but even when Lexa had confessed that she cared for Clarke, she hadn't expected this to actually happen. It seemed too impossible, and yet now it felt all too real.

"Being weak," Lexa growled a bit impatiently, pulling Clarke back into her so that their mouths smashed onto each other, this time less gently. The warmth between them turned to heat. To blazing fire. Clarke wrapped her arms around the commander's torso and pushed her back onto the table, while Lexa's hands gripped at Clarke's hair tightly. Their mouths fought. Teeth pulled on bottom lips, and tongues provided a soft relief.

"Lexa, we –" She was silenced by a desperate mouth. "We can't," she continued, unintentionally letting out a soft moan.

"Do you wish for me to stop, Sky Princess?" Lexa asked, slipping her tongue into Clarke's mouth to meet hers.

"Fuck," Clarke whispered into Lexa's mouth. "No, don't stop." She pushed on Lexa's torso, urging her to hop on the table behind her. The commander obeyed, spread her legs and let Clarke fill the void between them. Clarke's hands traveled through her body aching for skin, as Lexa nuzzled herself on her neck, leaving a trace of kisses and teeth marks up to her jaw. The commander growled, hungrily. "You're a bit rough," Clarke chuckled, to which Lexa immediately withdrew.

"I apologize, Clarke," She sounded embarrassed, ashamed.

"No, no," Clarke smiled, pulling her back into place. "I like it." She felt a breath of relief on her neck, right before the tugs and lips came back to play with her skin. "What I don't like..." her breaths grew heavier. "Are these clothes." She tugged at Lexa's shirt and she could feel her smile on her neck.

"It is not an appropriate time, Clarke," Lexa replied, pulling back again and looking into Clarke's lustful, desperate eyes.

"Oh. I-I'm sorry." Now it was Clarke who felt embarrassed. "I just thought...because you kissed me that you... but if you don't want to..."

Lexa smiled at how adorable Clarke looked in this moment. "I can assure you that it is not for a lack of desire on my part that we must come to a stop, Clarke of the Sky," she began softly, brushing a strong of blonde hair behind Clarke's ear. "A war is about to begin. We must be armed, clothed, and ready when Bellamy's sign appears... Not..." Lexa hesitated shyly. "...nude and entangled in one another. Although I would greatly prefer the latter."

"Me too," Clarke whispered, her heart in her throat. They both blushed. And as if Lexa had predicted the future, they heard the people outside begin to yell out for their commander in Trigedasleng.

"We must go," Lexa's voice changed, grew stiff, and Clarke recognized that the person in her arms was now more Heda and Lexa. Somehow, it attracted her more. Still, she stepped aside and let her hop off the table. Grabbing her sword, she began to head out of the tent before she felt a pull at her arm. She let herself be spun around to face Clarke and meet her soft lips once more.

"Let's go win a war," Clarke whispered as their lips departed, giving Lexa a gentle smile. Lexa nodded, forcing down a smile as well, but her eyes undeniably shone with something Clarke could only assume was happiness. It was a side of Lexa Clarke felt new to, but yet also incredibly comfortable in. Lexa felt the same way.

They walked out of the tent and marched into battle together.
