Jigsaw Girl

Love is eternal

The car ride to Clarke's house was quieter than Lexa had expected. She was prepared to answer Clarke's questions on the home and anything else the blonde might have been wondering about but none of them came. Lexa stole little glances at the love of her life while they drove. Just like when Lexa bites her lips, Clarke bites her fingers when she is nervous and that's what she had been doing.

When they pulled up to Clarke's house, Lexa shut off the car but didn't try to get out. Instead she turned to Clarke and reaches for her hand.

"You wanna go in?" She asked, once those baby blues were on her.

Clarke gives her a smile that doesn't seem so forced before she nods. They join there hands again once they are outside the car and walk up to the closed garage door. "Oh wait... I don't have keys."

Lexa walks up the the keypad and typed in a code, which made the garage door start to open. She laughs when Clarke raises an eyebrow.

"So then I guess you don't need a tour... which is good because I don't really know where everything is at yet." Clarke tells her once they make it through into the house. "Except for my room. I know where that is."

Lexa laughs. "Well you can show me your room. I haven't been in there since they put it together."

"No?" Clarke says, leading them upstairs. "Well, did you know that I have my very own bathroom?" She opens the door and flips on the light showing her.

Lexa fakes surprise. "Whaaaat?"

Clarke laughs and playfully slaps Lexa in the stomach. "It's very exciting news, Lexa. I've never had my own bathroom before."

Once they get into the room Clarke throws her bag on her bed while Lexa looks around. The brunette walks straight up to the pictures Clarke had drawn of Dez. "You're so talented, Clarke." She tells her, picking up one of the pictures.

Clarke just shrugs, never one to take a compliment well. "I want to give that one to Aden for his birthday."

"Clarke, he's going to love it." Lexa tells her before putting it back down and moving to all the old pictures on the wall.

"I hope so." Clarke watches as Lexa takes in every drawing like it's the first time she had seen it. The smile in her face was genuine, making Clarke's heart flutter in her chest. Lexa always believed in Clarke and her art. Always told her to follow through with it but Clarke knew better.

"He will Clarke. I know he will. God, I've missed seeing these everyday." Lexa tells her sincerely as she runs her hands over all the art.

"Lexa..." Clarke says before bringing her fingers to her mouth.

Lexa turns around giving her full attention to the beautiful girl on the bed. "Hmmm?"

"I'm tired. Are you tired?"

Lexa nods because she was feeling more than a little tired. She hadn't been sleeping as much due to everything.

"Do you..." Clarke stops, unable to get her question out and Lexa walks up to stand in front of her. When Clarke looks up into those green eyes, she finds the strength to finish. "Do you want to stay here and nap with me?"

"I do." Lexa says with the special smile only Clarke receives.

While Clarke takes off her shoes and stands up to get out of her jeans, Lexa swallows hard before turning around, to give her some privacy. This does not go unnoticed by Clarke who can't help but smile. Lexa was also so polite and respectful, even when there was no need to be.

"At least this bed is bigger than my old one." Clarke tells her while pulling the covers back.

"I didn't mind your old one." Lexa says with a sly smile.
