To those we've lost, and saved

Wordlessly

LEXA POV:

" I'm ready now " Clarke whispers. The words echoing endlessly in your mind. You watch her and she stares straight back, her eyes never leave yours. Her eyes search yours and it's as if she's trying to read what your thinking, she can read you so well already, maybe she already has.

" Are you sure " You ask, still not sure if you can bring yourself to believe her, you can feel your eyes start to glass over. You're not sure why, but you don't try to stop it, maybe it's because you want her to know how much she means to you or maybe your mind wont let you bring yourself to move from this perfect place, this perfect point in time. Slowly she smiles and rests her forehead on yours, clutching her eyes shut.

" Yes " she whispers. You breathe more easily once hearing those words, like your soul is suddenly at peace. Before you met Clarke this feeling would have terrified you, letting your guard down, being completely comfortable with someone. It's something you haven't experianced since Costia. Costia.. you let your mind wander during this moment of peace knowing well that Clarke wont be moving anytime soon.

There are so many ways Clarke and Costia are alike..

You fell in love with them both...

You let your guard down with both of them..

You knew well in advance that Titus wouldn't accept either of them.

But they are also so different, and that's what keeps your mind at ease, that's what is allowing you to let this happen, stopping yourself from stopping this before it even gets a chance to start. Clarke is so different to Costia in so many ways, she is a leader, a fighter, she opposes you when she needs to, she tells you when your overstepping or going to far, she is your strength and as much as you hate to admit it, Costia was your weakness.

Instinctively you wrap your arms around her waist and pull her closer, closing your eyes and closing off the thoughts, just allowling yourself to take in this moment. These are the moments you rely on in times of crisis and pain. A time like this where everything is perfect and simple and easy, nothing standing between you and what you so desperately desire.

Except there is one more thing you need to do before you can truly enjoy this moment, two more things you need to worry about.. Well two more people to be specific.

" Clarke " You whisper, preying that you wont disturb the moment.

" What do you want to tell them? ".

There is a long moment of silence as the two of you take refuge in eacothers presence. You can hear the shuffling of the warriors and workers outside your tent, hear the gentle breeze move through the trees. Everything is so serene, after so much chaos this moment is purely perfect.

" The truth, i don't care anymore " She says hastily, her arms tightening around your waist. You smilie, knowing wordlessly that she isn't ready to let go, not yet. In truth niether are you.

" We can let them wait a little longer " you whisper, pulling her closer, taking a moment to really take in everything that is Clarke Griffin, Klark Kom Skaikru. The girl who fell from the sky and captured your heart from the very start.
