Love me (CLEXA AU)

The talk

⚔: Klarke?
©: Yes, commander.
⚔: I think I'm ready to talk if that's okay with you?
©: Lex. We don't have to if you don't want to.
⚔: I think if I don't say it now I won't for another month or year and I really don't want to wait anymore.
©: okay
⚔: first of all. I'm sorry for letting you go. I should've fought for you. You may have ended it, but it was me who really let you go.
©: Lex, wait.
⚔: No, you were always supposed to be my number one priority. With all things it should've been you. I messed up so bad with Costia and I felt obligated to make it right and in the end it cost me you. I don't regret helping Costia, that's not what I'm getting at. I regret not at least putting you into the equation as well. Making you understand when you deserved that much respect from me. I-I just never thought that one day I'd lose you when I've only ever been in love with you. I've only ever pictured my life with you never expecting that certain things would get in the way. I was naive.
©: Lexa. I forgave you. The second you told me about what happened to Costia? I forgave you. You're an amazing person for taking care of her when she had no one. I love you even more for it. I could never love you less!
⚔: It's only ever been you. I've never even thought about anyone, but you.
I love you.
©: (tear falls) you have no idea how long I've waited to hear those words again.
I LOVE YOU TOO.
⚔: can I take you somewhere right now before we go home?
©: like a date? Oh geeze I don't know? I think we might be moving a little fast.
⚔: shut up Klarke and not exactly a date so don't get too excited.
©: Fine, but where are you taking me?
⚔: you'll see.

_________

©: Here? Really?
⚔: Just come on.
©: If you wanted to see me in my old cheer uniform all you could've done was ask, Lex.
⚔: maybe another day, babe.

Clarke froze at the very long overdue name but started to grin to all the new possibilities the two can share in the future.

©: babe huh?
⚔: what? Can I not call you that?

Both girls bursted into laughter remembering those same words being said through the years.

⚔: okay now let's go to our spot.
©: that's where we're going?
⚔: why else would I take you back to this school? To play as naughty school girls in your home room? I don't think so.
©: way to ruin a girls dream

__________

⚔: i don't think this place has ever changed
©: neither have we. Neither have my feelings for you lex. I love you so much.
⚔: I love you too, babe.

The girls stood in silence well Clarke's head laid on Lexa's shoulder

©: go out with me!
⚔: what?
©: you heard me. Go on a date with me.
⚔: on one condition!
©: I'm already regretting this
⚔: you have to kiss me by the end of the night
©: fineeeee geeeezus you're so needy. Give a girl some breathing room.
⚔: you're adorable, babe.
©: only for you, love.
⚔: let's start heading home. Raven wants us to meet her at the coffee house. She said it was urgent.
©: yeah she will have to explain after her face meets my fist.
⚔: woah. What happened?
©: I'll explain on the way.
⚔: okay, but first...

Lexa pulled Clarke in and her lips met hers. It was sweet like Clarke's cherry Chapstick. The moment was short but long overdue.

After they parted Lexa's eyes were noticeably more awake as if all of her problems from the past year were off her shoulders. Clarke had shed a tear. The heart break she had to endeavor was now completely absent. She was in love again. They were in love again.
