No Hero

Ceremony

Freya

Aside from the knock on the door that woke me the first thing I noticed was the slight ache between my legs. The previous activities played through my mind. Lexa would not give me a break and apparently I'd passed out. The woman was behind me, her nude body pressed against my back and her arm wrapped around me to rest her hand on my breast.

The knock came again this time a little louder than what originally woke me up. Lexa's hand squeezed my breast as she stirred awake. A soft noise of annoyance came from her. Tiredly I rolled over in her hold. She was blinking probably trying to determine if someone was really knocking on our door. It was still the middle of the night, the only light in the room came from the moon.

This time with the knocking a soft voice called, "Freya it's Anna."

I sighed bringing my hand up to her face and lightly brushed the hair out of her face. "Go back to sleep I'll get it" I whispered.

Her eyes flickered closed a moment before she peaked them open to sleepily look at me. "You okay?" she asked her voice full of sleep.

Smiling softly I kissed her forehead, "Always am." Once I was out of the bed I covered her back up with the blanket. Padding across the floor I pulled on my underwear and a shirt that was hers. Just before I opened the door Lexa rolled over in bed most likely to me sure I wasn't opening the door with my body on display. 

I opened the door to see Anna with her hand raised to knock again. She took in my appearance at the same time I was taking in hers. She was wearing loose pants and a t shirt. "I woke you up?" she asked.

Obviously she had, it was the middle of the night. I was starting to grow worried why she was knocking on my door like this. "What's wrong are you hurt?" I asked in a much quieter voice. Tiredness left from my eyes as I tried to look for any injuries on her. Aside from her messy hair and baggy clothes she didn't appear hurt.

"No, I'm not hurt I just really need to talk to you" this time her voice matched my soft volume.

My shoulders relaxed with relief spreading through me. I looked over my shoulder at Lexa asleep under the blankets. "We can talk on the balcony" I said stepping to the side.

"I was hoping to see your room when it was better lit up" she mumbled doing her best to look around the dark room.

Setting my hand on her arm I pointed to the balcony. Anna nodded and quietly walked out to stand by the railing. I kneeled by the bed and pulled the blanket up to her shoulder. "What's going on?" she asked her eyes closed and voice full of sleep.

Lowering the volume of my voice even more I said, "Nothing to worry about she just wants to talk to me. Go back to sleep, beautiful." She hummed snuggling into the blankets again. Anna was looking over polis from the railing. There weren't many lights still lit at this hour. "What is it you wanted to talk about?" I asked leaning next to her on the railing.

She brushed her hands through her messy hair. Her fingers briefly getting stuck. "I had sex with Sirus" she blurted out.

My eyebrows rose at her admission. She really cared for the man and I knew he was a good one so I tried to keep my feelings about this in check. After all Anna could make her own decisions. "When did this happen?" I asked lightly.

"About an hour ago" she said twiddling her thumbs.

I couldn't help but chuckle, "Well what are you doing here then?" Why didn't she want to stay with him afterwards? Something was eating at her mind.

"I wanted to talk to you about it" she said. I gave her a look that said go ahead. I knew there was no point in asking her to wait until morning. She's already woken me up. "I wasn't exactly planning on this happening this early. Is it too early? I mean he's just so handsome and treats me so well. And I don't even know what grounders do for protection. Like do they just pop out kids or is there the grounder equivalent to the condom somewhere?" she rambled.
