We're Just Friends (Clexa AU)

Chapter Sixty Six

A week later Clarke's mom finally told Lexa she could take hot baths if she wanted to instead of showers, and it was the best news Lexa had ever heard.

"Honey are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?" Lexa's mom asked.
"Yes, I'm positive now go to work."
"Okay, bye honey, text me if you need anything."

A couple of minutes after Lexa's mom left Clarke showed up. She jumped on to brunette's bed and started giving her kisses all over her face earning giggles in return.

"I...love...your...giggles," Clarke said in between kisses.
"And I'm going to go take a bath."
"No, I wanna cuddle," Clarke said pouting as she hugged the brunette.

"It's the first time since the hospital I'm allowed to take an actual hot bath instead of a shower. And the only thing I've been doing for the past couple weeks is watching tv, doing homework, and cuddling with you."

"Fine," Clarke pouted some more.
Lexa kissed the pouting Clarke, "You're so cute."
"I just wanna be with you for as long as possible," Clarke replied.
Lexa smiled and gave her another kiss, "So, so cute. When I'm done we can go back to cuddling."
"Okay," Clarke said with a big smile.

Once Lexa walked into the bathroom and shut the door, Clarke fell back onto the bed and put some music on.

"OW OWW OW!" Lexa yelled from the bathroom.
"Oh my god, Lexa! Are you okay?" Clarke asked as she ran to the bathroom door.
"Uhh yeah, oww shit ow, umm no not really."
"Can I come in?" Clarke asked. 
"Yeah, come in."

"What can I help with?" Clarke asked once she came in.
"No, I don't want you to help," Lexa said shaking her head.
"Lexa, you're my girlfriend and you need help. I want to help you," Clarke said taking Lexa's hands.
Lexa sighed, "Your mom lied, I can't do anything. When I bend down to turn the water on and raise my arms to take my shirt off, it hurts my scar.

"Everything will get better. You got shot, you just need time to heal. And for now, I can help you."
"This is so pathetic, I feel like an idiot."
"Babe you are not an idiot, and this is not pathetic. Like I said before you have a gunshot wound, from saving my life, that's trying to heal. You need help and I'm right here, happy to help. I wanna help, I wanna make sure you're okay. Can I help?" Clarke asked. 
Lexa nodded her head.

Clarke smiled and walked over to the bathtub to turn the water on. She then bent down to help take Lexa's sweatpants off, helping her step out of them and her shirt, slowly taking each arm out. After that she helped replace the bandages on Lexa's scar, replacing them with waterproof ones.

"I feel so exposed," Lexa stated as she stood there in only her bra and underwear.
"Don't, you're as beautiful as always," Clarke said showing a smile, "I'll let you take your bath in peace."
"Thank you," Lexa said then kissed Clarke.
"No need to thank me, I wanna help."

When Clarke closed the door she sat back down on the bed but jumped up she heard another yell.
"You okay?" Clarke yelled from the other side of the door. 
"Yea- ow oww fuck umm no," Lexa answered.
"Can I come back in?"
"Uhh yeah."

She opened the door to see Lexa staring at the bathtub, "Nice ass Woods."
Lexa turned around and smiled, "And boobs."
Clarke smiled back, "You remember that?"
"Of course, I liked you and you saw me naked showering. Of course, I was gonna remember a compliment like that from you."
"I was just stating facts, and I still am," Clarke smirked. "So what's wrong?"

"I can't get in," Lexa said pointing to the bathtub. "It hurts moving to get in."
"Here let me help you."
Clarke walked over and held on to Lexa's waist gently, making sure not to go near the scar.
Lexa put all her weight on Clarke and slowly lifted one leg to get into the bathtub, then lifted the other.
