Do you want to build a snowman, Commander? (Clexa AU Fic)

Prologue

            8 years old Clarke smiled excitedly as she saw the snow pouring outside of her windows. She jumped and ran towards Lexa's room.

Knocking loudly, she said, "Do you want to build a snowman, Lexa?"

There was no response.

She knocked again, "Come on! Let's go out and play!"

Still, there was no response.

Her smile faded, "I never see you anymore. Come out of the door, Lexa. It's like you've gone away." She pouted and sat on the floor. "We used to be best buddies. And now we're not. I wish you would tell me why."

Then she stands up again, she would never admit defeat. "Do you want to build a snowman?" she peeked on the small hole of the doorknob. "Well, it doesn't have to be a snowman, Lexa."

"Go away, Clarke." She heard Lexa said.

Her smile faded again. "Okay. Bye." She lowered her head.

8 years old Lexa looked at the window and deeply sighed.

Gustus, then, let his presence be known. "Good afternoon Commander."

Lexa ran towards him and hugged him. "I thought you're not going to visit me, Gustus."

Gustus wiped her tears away, "Conceal your feelings, Commander."

Lexa wiped her tears and turn away. "I can't help it. I've been shutting down Clarke ever since the spirit of the Commander had chosen me. I just missed her."

Gustus pitied the child Commander but he can't let his own feelings be on the way, "You can't play anymore with Clarke. Or you will freeze her to death."

Lexa looked at him. "I would never do that to her. I could control my powers, Gustus."

"You said that before. But you almost killed her, remember?" Gustus almost regretted to say those words as hurt flashed across Lexa's face.

Lexa was awoken by Clarke jumping on her bed. She sighed, "I'm sleeping, Clarke."

"No you're not. You are talking to me right now." Clarke giggled.

Lexa opened her left eye, "It's too early, Clarke."

"Do you want to build a snowman?" Clarke asked.

Lexa widened her eyes. They love building snowman. "Sure. Let's go."

They weren't allowed to go outside the castle but both have ways to go out if they pleased to. They have a secret passage that only both of them knew.

"I miss my mom and dad." Clarke said as she glanced at Lexa who was busy trying to make the snowman look perfect. Lexa's tongue was out as she was concentrating. Clarke giggled. She poked Lexa's tongue with her index finger.

"Hey!" Lexa snapped. "Why would you do that?"

Clarke's eyes are filled with mischief. "Why do you have to let your tongue out?"

"Huh? I'm not doing that." Lexa said.

"You are."

"I'm not." Lexa crossed her arms.
