The One Who's Fallen

Chapter 93

Ravens POV            (Surprise! I thought this chapter would be best from her point of view!)

Sometimes I can't sleep on the best of nights, but tonight I definitely can't. Anya and Luna are asleep in my bed with me and I wish that their calming presence was enough to calm me down and to shut off my brain, but it isn't. I'm too worried for my mind to do anything but race.

I slip out of bed, putting on my brace as quietly as I can. I smile softly when I hear their unconscious unhappy mumbles at my absence. They snuggle closer together, trying to keep warm with my body no longer in between them.

I'll worry myself too much if this continues; I need to do something or I'll end up driving myself crazy.

I grab my latest project and take it to the table farthest from the bed. I'm trying to build a screen to connect to the radio so we can see who we're talking to. More like so I can see Jaha's reaction when he realizes I'm alive. I know I won't be able to get any sleep tonight, so this is the next best thing. If I work hard enough, I may be able to finish it before Abby radios us back.

I tinker with it quietly, hoping I won't wake Anya and Luna, though I suspect they're light sleepers. Sure enough, an hour in to working, a pair of arms slips around my waist.

"Come back to bed." Anya murmurs in my ears, resting her chin on my shoulder. Her raspy, sleepy voice does things to me.

I turn around and press a short kiss to her lips. "Go back to bed. I'll be okay. I need something to work on."

Anya looks in my eyes and nods. "I understand. Whenever I am nervous for something, I need something to do as well." She kisses my cheek and gives me a tired smile. "Come back to bed if you get tired, okay?"

"I will," I promise.

Anya gives me a quick kiss and then climbs back in bed, murmuring something to Luna, who still has her eyes closed but nods along to her words.

I smile at them as they cuddle closer, happy that they agreed to stay with me tonight. I wasn't sure if they would say yes, but I'm glad they did. We didn't do anything, there's a silent understanding between us that we're going to go slow.

I get back to work, only noticing that it's morning when Luna does the same thing Anya did, coming up behind me and wrapping her arms around my waist. I relax back against her, smiling when she kisses my cheek.

"Good morning." I greet her, turning around in her arms. "I would think that Anya would be the first up."

"Anya? No, when she feels safe sleeping in a place she is a pretty heavy sleeper. She will be up soon." Luna responds, letting her hands rest on my waist after making sure it's okay with me.

I feel the blush creeping up my neck, unable to resist the bright smile I give Luna. Anya feels safe in here? That could mean anything but I think she means that Anya feels safe with us and that just melts my heart into a gooey puddle.

"Do I get a good morning kiss? Clarke once told me that it is a thing in your culture after I walked in on her making out with Lexa a few times."

I laugh, "That sounds like something Clarke would do to try to get you to leave. But yeah, that is a thing."

I gently cup Luna's jaw and lean in, kissing her gently. We continue like this, lost in each other but neither of us deepening the kiss, until we hear a grunt from the bed. We break the kiss but stay close, looking over to see a tired but interested Anya lying on the bed, her head propped up by her fist.

"That is a nice sight to wake up to," she says. Anya throws her legs over the side of the bed and walks over to us, giving us both a kiss before sitting back down on the bed with a yawn. "So what is for breakfast?"

"I will find us something," Luna offers. "You stay here and wake up and Raven, you can continue making whatever that is."

"Alright," Anya says. "I will keep an eye on her, make sure she does not blow anything up."

"Hey! I do that on purpose! Most of the time..."

Luna and Anya give me amused looks and Luna gives us both a swift kiss before walking out the tent flaps.

I get back to work, knowing Anya is probably watching me, if only to stay awake. I don't worry about being quiet anymore and finish up a few parts I couldn't while they were asleep. It's finished rather quickly and I whoop happily when it turns on. It works!

"It works, Anya!" I say, unable to keep my excitement contained.

If I didn't have a bad leg, I would be bouncing up and down like Octavia does when she's excited. Anya's smiling at me like I'm one of the cutest things she's ever seen.

"What does it do?" Anya asks, standing up and walking over.

"We can see who we're talking to on the radio. We get to see Jaha's face when he realizes I'm alive." I explain.

"Good. He can see my face when I threaten his life." Anya says, making me laugh.

"He'll pee his pants for sure. You and Luna can be seriously scary when you try."

"What about me?" Luna asks as she walks back in with three steaming plates of food.

"You're a goddess," I groan. I take a plate and start to stuff my face.

"I know," Luna says, mockingly serious and winking at me. "But I am pretty sure that is not what you were saying."

Anya explains the device and tells her how now we can see Jaha's reaction, which makes Luna's eyes dance.

"We can terrify him into submission." Luna says cheerfully.

"Good idea," Anya says. "Maybe if we are intimidating enough, we can make their Council agree to kick him out."

They start discussing scare tactics and I grin at my girlfriends (man, I don't think I'll ever get over how the butterflies in my stomach flutter every time I so much as think of them as my girlfriends).

There's a crackling of the radio that interrupts them and they fall silent.

"Raven. Raven come in." Abby says.

I thought we could use a relatively fluffy chapter before the Council meeting, plus we get to see a bit more of their relationship! Next chapter we'll see what Abby's radioing them about... And in case you're worried, remember that I'm a sucker for happy endings and all of my stories have/will have one! :) Thank you all for reading and for your incredible comments! Stay awesome!
