She's ready-

Lexa laid on clarkes bed while she slept, Clarke had barley made it through surgery Abby had said. It would be a hard recovery. Lexa had stayed awake for 2 nights hoping Clarke would wake up but she didn't, but in all attempts to stay awake Lexa fell asleep her hand on clarkes.

Clarke woke up with the worst headache and chest pain. She turned and saw Lexa sleeping on her bed with bandages wrapped around her bare chest and shoulder.

"Welcome back Clarke." Abby smiled at her kissing the top of her daughters head

"Is she okay." Clarke shuffled which shot pain in her side

"She has a few broken ribs and a nasty cut in her cheek, she's got a few smashed fingers. It's surprising to me that she got you here so fast." Clarke smiled at the sleeping Lexa "I'll let you wake her up." Abby smiled walking off. 

"Hey Lexa." Clarke nudged her arm and Lexa perked up

"Clarke are you okay?" Her eyes were heavy and so was Clarkes heart.

"Mhm," Clarke hummed trying to shift in her bed

"No, no don't move Clarke." Lexa told her resetting her hand on Clarkes shoulder

"How long have you been here?" Clarke asked grabbing Lexas hand from her shoulder into her lap

"Almost 3 days, I wanted to be sure you were okay." Lexas cheeks where flushed

"Why?" Clarke debated whether or not to kiss Lexas hand

"Because I care for you Clarke..." Lexa looked down at the ground embarrassed, Clarke took her hand and pushed Lexas face up so she was looking at her. Clarke smiled at Lexas embarrassment before setting a small kiss to her cheek.

"Thank you." Clarke said with her eyes set on lexa, she had never had one of the trikru be this kind to her.

"You're very welcome Clarke Kom skikru."
Lexa resisted the smirk she felt coming to her face. "Would you like some water?"

"Yes please, that would be amazing." Clarke answered and lexa walked off with a little hop

"Here you are Clarke it's fresh from the lake." Lexa said returning to Clarke

"Thank you lexa." Clarke reached for the cup quickly and drank so fast.

"Is that all?" Lexa deadpanned

"What?" Clarke said wiping her lip

"You need to rest and I'd like to give you your privacy."

"Actually..." Clarke was quite "could you stay with me." She grabbed Lexas waist and brought her closer t her "please...?"

"Of course." Lexa whispered back climbing into bed with Clarke. She was giving the sky girl her space until Clarke took Lexas arm and wrapped it around her.

"I'm ready lexa." Clarke whispered so quite Lexa almost couldn't hear.

"For what Clarke?" Lexa buried her face deeper in Clarkes newly washed hair

"To be with you." Lexa was taken back by the words and she caught herself not breathing. She looked down at Clarke and saw that her face had relaxed and that she was sleeping. Lexa moved closer to Clarke and held her tight.
