Love And War

Love Is Weakness

Clarke awoke to the sun shining brightly on her face.

It was hot out, once again.

Sitting up Clarke yawned, popping her neck and fingers.
She threw a warm fluffy blanket off her, now hit from the suns rays.

She threw her feet over the side of the bed and grabbed her uniform shirt and hat.
Nobody seemed to be up and about in the camp, just the occasional guard that walked by.

In order to exit her tent she had to go through the Commanders, which she was praying was not inside.

Clarke peered through the tent flap and did not see the Commander in her bed.

Shrugging, Clarke went to the Commanders side and began to walk out, until the main tent flap entrance burst open, a Commander running in.

Clarke let out a scared gasp and grabbed her chest, attempting to slow her racing heart.

Lexa was basically still in what she wore to bed last night, gret sweats and a black sports bra.

Clarke momentarily eyed her and noticed the defined core muscles the Commander had
She was covered in sweat, so Clarke assumed she was running.

Lexa waved her hand in front of Clarke's face,
"My face is up here Clarke."

"Good Morning Commander."
Clarke saluted, slightly flushed, her cheeks burning.

Lexa gave a firm nod and walked past Clarke, grabbing a towel on her bed and patting her face.

"Morning run?"
Lexa glared at Clarke, suspiciously before answering.

"Uh, yea. Wakes me up."
Clarke nodded in agreement.

"I wouldn't have the energy to do that." Clarke tried to warm up.

"Well thats because you sleep like a rock."
Clarke tilted her head smiling and confused, waiting for Lexa to explain.

"I could literally hear your teeth clattering together all night, who's blanket did you think you had this morning?"

Clarke felt ghostly white as she remembered that she indeed did not have a good blanket going to sleep, but woke up with a rather fluffy one.

"Lexa-"
"Commander." Lexa added.
"Yes, Commander, did you give me that?"

Lexa and Clarke stared at each other for a bit, before lexa finally buttoned the last button on her uniform and started to walk by.

"You needed it more than I did Griffin."
With that the Commander left, leaving Clarke all alone in the large tent.

*** LEXAS POV ***

Lexa walked out of the tent, feeling partially embarrassed and confused.

She was being to nice to this new doctor, Clarke.

She walked up to Indra, who was chatting amongst the other squadron leaders.

"Commander." they all saluted.

Lexa nodded and faced Indra.
"Any news from our warriors on the front?"

Indra nodded.
"We have your Kraken unit returning, only one wounded, they'll come back and retrieve the doctor Finn, and they'll leave for another two so days."

"I should go with them this time."

Indra stared wearily at Lexa.
"Commander-"

"I'm ready Indra, its been too long and my squadron needs me."

"Commander with all do respect, with what happened to your last squadron its okay to-"

"Indra!" Lexa snapped.
