You're safe with me

Part7

Lincoln sticks out his hand for Clarke to take, but the omega just stares at him. Luckily, Lexa comes to her rescue and stands between them. Clarke knows that Lexa will protect her, so she comes out of the kitchen, now standing behind Lexa quite closely. Lexa can feel Clarke's body heat just behind her.

Everyone is looking at the pair. Lexa clears her throat. "This, this is Clarke," Lexa smiles, looking at Clarke, who in turn gives her a shy smile.

Lexa knows this must be scary for her, because the room is filled with alphas and betas and Clarke doesn't have the best history, so she eyes her friends, telling them just to play along. Thankfully, they do, smiling and saying their hello's. Clarke just nods her head in response, not leaving her spot closely behind Lexa.

"Let's get your things upstairs," Lexa suggests.

Everyone knows which room they are staying in, given that they've stayed at Lexa's for Christmas before, so they start heading upstairs. Lexa is about to follow them, but she feels a light tug on her clothes and turns to see that Clarke's giving her the eyes of "don't leave me." Lexa understands.

"It's okay, just wait in our bedroom." Lexa face goes a little red saying the word 'our', and if Clarke's smile is anything to go by, she noticed it.

She walks Clarke up the stairs to their room and pulls the door. Still, she doesn't shut it, for even though she trusts Clarke, she doesn't want anything to happen to her.

Lexa sighs and, when she turns, she realises there is an audience. She shushes them and points down the stairs. They all walk down stairs and head toward the living room, ready to clear up their obvious confusion.

Lexa waits for them all to sit down. "I didn't buy her, my father did. And she's staying, so it would mean a lot to me if you don't make her uncomfortable, because she's still weary of alpha and pretty much people, so just give her space. She doesn't talk that much... to new people, but as long as she can see me, she will be fine." They nod, trying to process the whole thing.

Raven breaks the silence, "So is she your mate then?" The group turn around shocked that she had asked. "What? You where all thinking if she was going to mate her," Raven argues with an eye roll.

"Em... No," Lexa says, and it is true. She's not going to say that she wishes that she was going to mate Clarke, because they would just call her whipped and rip the shit out of her for it.

"So what are you guys?" Jasper asks.

"I guess we're friends." Lexa feel kind of awkward speaking about what they are. Friends don't kiss each other's necks, do they?

"I'm going to go get her. Don't make a big deal out of this and please don't call me whipped in front of her, I don't need to be embarrassed," Lexa warns, heading to the stairs.

Lincoln laughs. "You're only embarrassed because it's true." The whole group laughs at that.

Once upstairs, Lexa knocks on the door and slowly pushes it open. "Hey," Clarke greets, and turns around to face Lexa.

"Hey, you ready to come downstairs?" Lexa asks.

Clarkes thinks about it for a moment, but nods her head. When she goes to walk past Lexa, the brunette gently stops her by touching her arm.

"If they make you uncomfortable, they leave," Lexa promises. Clarke nods and gives Lexa a light kiss on the cheek. Lexa thinks her knees are going to give out.

"Can you just stay near me?" Clarkes asks, as she doesn't want to be far away from Lexa.

"Of course." Lexa holds out her hand for Clarke to take. "Together?"
