Kiss me, Not

We Must Fight Part I

"We can't let her take over," Gustus sighed despairingly, looking over at his wife.

Indra squeezed his shoulder comfortingly, "we will find a way. We always do."

He nodded, "we always do."

Lexa shut her eyes tightly and sighed, returning back to her bed room where she finds Clarke laying down on her bed.

"Hey," the blonde greeted, seeing her troubled girlfriend, "what's wrong?"

"Work. I overheard dad talking mom. Seems like the meeting didn't turn out so well as we expected," scratching her neck worriedly.

"Hey...," Clarke whispered moving closer to Lexa, "We will get through this. Together."

Lexa gave a soft smile and nodded, "We will."

"Yes! So you," the blonde pushed her crunched up forehead up, stretching it "better stop frowning or you're gonna turn old and wrinkly!"

Lexa scoffed and pulled the girl's hand down, "I'm still hot no matter what!"

"Still hot no matter what huh?" Clarke grinned pushing her down and straddled her.

"Yes. You're not the only one who's head over heels for me, you know," she snickered seeing the priceless reaction from her girlfriend.

She glared at Clarke when the blonde playfully smacked her on the shoulder.

"The last time I checked you're the one who's so desperate to marry me," Clarke raised her eyebrow, smiling smugly.

Lexa's mouth formed an 'O' shape, shocked by the retort, "you're right," she said nodding, "This is your fault. If I didn't ran after you then I would probably be still marrying Costia and having a less complicated life."

"Rude!"

"But the truth," shaking her index finger at her.

Clarke fell silent and hopped off. She sighed as she laid down behind her, feeling the guilt of what had happened. "But you're right. This is wouldn't have happened if I just forget about you sooner. You and your family wouldn't be in this mess...I'm so-..."

The warmth of the lips that greeted her was filled with purpose and content. It was hard not to miss the way that Lexa moved her lips and hands exploring her every inch. It made her feel wanted. It made her feel glad... No, ecstatic of the turn of events. However, she knew she have to do something. She can't just stay there and watch - seeing Lexa suffer from the situation which she partially caused.

"Clarke," Lexa whispered after breaking apart for air, "please don't... Stop blaming yourself. I will take care of it. You have nothing to worry about. Okay?"

"Okay," Clarke nodded.

"Please don't do anything. Okay?"

The blonde knew she can't make that promise, so showed a smile and pulled the girl in for a hug.

"I love you, Lexa."

"I love you too, Clarke."

"Hey Princess!" Clarke looked up and saw Raven and Octavia making their way towards her.

"Hey," she greeted weakly and dives back in to her coffee with a sulk.

"It's that awful huh," Raven tutted, peeking over Clarke's disdain look.

"I want to do something, you know. I can't just sit here and watch them all going haywire of what I've partially caused."
