Kiss me, Not

The Ice Queen

"Clarke the first time I laid my eyes on you. I knew you were the one. I've never felt this way with anyone else and I'm not planning to because you, Clarke is the one. Four years... I've spent four years helplessly falling in love with you. Seeing your smiles. Hearing your voice. I just can't help it... I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Princess. Please be mine, Clarke. Be my princess. No, be my queen. I will worship you. I will shower you with love and care that you deserve. Please be mine...Will you marry me, Clarke?"

"Finn...," she whispered shaking her head unimaginably.

Finn is proposing!

"I don't think-... Finn, I don't know..."

"Clarke," he scooted closer, inches away from Clarke's surprised face, "I can do better than her. I can make you happy. I will make your dreams come true. I will support you. I will love you. I will protect you."

"Finn," pulling back her hands, "This- This is too sudden," she murmured, staring at him with wide eyes.

Night after night, she had spent thinking of letting go of Lexa and giving Finn a chance, but this? Proposing? On their second date? This is too absurd.

Finn cupped her cheeks and tilted it to face him, Clarke's troubled eyes couldn't meet his, "Clarke, I can't wait. I can't lose you again. I can't let any guy or anyone take you away from me. Just when I have you right here with me...," he whispered leaning his forehead against Clarke's.

With eyes closed, she could hear a light sob. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She did hurt him, she did pushed him away but she's always been honest with him all this time. Clarke sighed as Finn's sniffles continued synchronizing with the loud clap of thunder echoing up above.

"Clarke, I love you... Please, choose me."

"Finn, it's not that easy..."

Finn leaned back and took a deep breath, his eyes bored against hers with much intensity that Clarke couldn't help but stare back.

"I can change you mind...," he mumbled as he closes the gap between them.

The night sky crackled once more, making their surroundings lit up. As the petering sheets of rain hit their heads, their half hooded eyes stares with much depth. Their heavy breathing were shared, feeling the warmth and heat radiating from each others shivering bodies. Finn cupped her cheeks once more as he stared at her awaiting lips.

Her battered legs were thoroughly exhausted, the rain had caught up with her and she was soaking wet. Lexa squinted her eyes to see through the thick sheets of rain as she forced herself to trek the partially empty street of their small town.

Clarke. Finn. Ring. Proposal.

Those were the words that kept repeating inside her head. She had never felt this strong urge of wishing the blonde would magically appear in front of her and how she wish Clarke would - Right now. As she forged through the sea of umbrellas up ahead, Lexa raked her head of where could Clarke possibly be.

Where would Finn take her? Where would he propose?

Her eyes lit up but the sudden idea and once again she was sprinting for her dear life.

"Please Clarke... Say no."

"Let me change your mind, Clarke..."

And as her breathing became shallower, her mind became more alert. Finn is about to kiss her. The boy leaned in further and as he did... Clarke moved back. She blinked a couple of times and watched the boy eye's faltered and just like the strike of lightning that stabbed through the still silence of the night, Clarke's small action was like a knife the pierced through the boy's heart.
