As we ride through the wilderness I can't help but stare in awe as I look around 'it is so beautiful here, I wish my friends and my family could see this' tears start building up in my eyes 'god I miss them so much' tears fall down my cheeks "y/n are you ok you seem very quiet back there?" She stops Her horse and gets off and she puts her arms up to me and helps me off her horse worry shows on her face"yeah I'm ok I just I miss my family and friends that's all" her face changes from worry to sadness "I'm sorry" she pulls me in for a hug "I'm not much of a hugger but I'm here for you y/n whenever you need me and to be honest I feel kinda lost because I uh I have never um actually done this before" we pull away from the hug and I smile softly "done what?" She looks down for a moment before looking back up at me

Her hands reach out for mine, she hesitates for a moment but then takes my hands in hers, her thumbs rubbing soothing circles around my knuckles "I don't really know how to comfort somebody I mean it has been a long time since I have comforted someone and it turns out I have forgotten how to do that" I can't stop looking at those gorgeous forest green eyes 'so beautiful' "well it seems to me that you are doing a pretty good job especially for someone who's forgotten" we both laugh softly

"Yeah I guess i am aren't I?" She smiles sweetly at me and I return the smile while still holding Lexa's hands. There's a comfortable silence between us for a moment until I break the silence "Wait why did we stop?" She smirks "we stopped because even horses need a rest just like us so we will continue at first light" my cheeks start to go red of embarrassment "oh yeah of course I-i knew that" she laughs softly. We walk over to a tree and take a seat in front of it leaning our backs against it before she speaks up again "I am being serious when I said that I am here for you, to be honest I don't like seeing you upset because it makes me feel upset, I like seeing you happy, I want to do everything I can to make you happy because I like seeing you smile, has anyone told you that you have a beautiful smile?" I am now blushing at Lexa's question "well y-yeah um someone very close to me would tell me that all the time, she would say that we would be together forever and that she would never leave me. She was-is mine and I don't know if I'll ever see her again" Tears fill my eyes again and Lexa looks upset, she moves her hand up to my face and wipes away the tears from my eyes "is she from the ark too?"

A small smile forms on my lips "yeah" my smile falls "she is but she is up there while I'm down here away from her and it's hard because I miss her and I love her so much that it hurts that I can't see her whenever I want to"

Lexa looks down for a moment then takes my hands in hers and looks up at me "Well I will do everything I can to try to make polis feel like home for you because polis will be your new home now and I promise starting today I won't let anything or anyone hurt you, because they will have to go through me and they won't dare to do that" the smile forms on my lips again "thankyou Lexa that means a lot" she returns the smile "of course it's my pleasure"

Lexa pov
We talk more about y/n's life on the ark and mine from tondc to polis and how I won the conclave and became the new commander, then I start talking about costia "I lost someone special to me a while ago, her name was costia. She was captured by azgeda" She looks at me confused and I forgot she doesn't understand trigedaslang yet "ice nation" she nods her head "oh ok go on" I continue "whose queen believed she knew my secrets. Because she was mine" tears start building up in my eyes but I blink away trying not to show any emotions but failed as she saw and takes my hand in hers "aw Lex" she rubs soothing circles on my knuckles with her thumb, some tears escape my eyes and fall down my cheeks and one of her hands move up to my face and delicately wipes the tears from my eyes, her hand stays there for a while and her thumb gently rubs my cheek "they tortured her, killed her, cut off her head"

"Aw I'm so sorry lexa, that's horrible" she gently puts her hand back down "and you know what the worste thing is?" She shakes her head "no" I take a Shaky breath "I still let them into the alliance" she puts her hand on my shoulder "I'm sorry lexa that must've been really hard to do that" I nod my head "it was" she puts her arms out "come here" I lean in and she wraps her arms around my neck and I wrap my arms around her waist. I let the walls that I have built up for so long come falling down and I let the tears in my eyes cascade down my face "I will repeat what you said to me earlier I'm here for you too lex whatever time it is wether it be day or night ok I'm here and I'm not going anywhere I promise" I nod and I move my head up and snuggle it into the crook of her neck, I start crying

Y/n pov
After a while of Lexa crying she starts to calm down slowly and moves her body down so that her head is resting comfortably under my chin with her arms still wrapped around my waist "thankyou y/n" is all I hear from her before I hear her calm evenly breathing telling me that she has fallen asleep. I smile sweetly at the sleeping beauty in front of me as I put a blanket over the two of us to keep her and i warm tonight and I wrap my left arm around her waist and my right arm up to her head as I gently pat her head, I bend my head down to the top of hers and I gently place a kiss on top of it "goodnight beautiful" I look up and I see gustus and indra smile sweetly at me and Lexa happy to see their commander sleeping peacefully and I nod my head at them and they nod back. I look back to the sleeping beauty and I shift slightly into a comfortable spot while trying not wake her up, once I finally find a comfortable spot I shut my eyes and I start to dream about my family
