Clarke and Lexa were sitting on the couch watching a movie, when Clarke suddenly had an idea. "Do you ever just want to like platonically take a bath with someone? Like I don't want to fuck, I just want someone to wash my hair, and to talk to."
Lexa was surprised for a second because 'that was so random', but the more she thought about it the better it sounded. "Oh my god that actually sounds kind of amazing. Do you want to- would you want to try it...?" Lexa asked.
"Like right now?" Clarke is slightly shocked when her roommate nods and gets up off the couch. She hadn't expected anyone to actually do it with her, but oddly wasn't surprised that Lexa would be the one to agree to it. "Okay! Umm some ground rules; no touching..." gestures in between legs. "...here without permission. Anywhere else is fine though. Anything you want to add?"
"Nope that sounds good." They both head towards the bathroom.
Turning on the tub Clarke turns to Lexa and asks, "what kind of bubble bath do you want?"
"Ooh the peppermint one!" She says excitedly. They both start to undress as the tub fills up. There's an awkward pause before they both burst into giggles. Clarke and Lexa both try to get in at the same time, causing Clarke to slip, but Lexa catches her before she can fall, she lets Clarke sit down first. She slides down into the water and under the swirling bubbles. Lexa soon followes suit and sits, knees pulled up facing Clarke, her back to the faucet.
There's a few seconds of fidgeting before they finally make eye contact. The first few minutes they don't talk much but then Lexa finally broke the silence. "Ohh hey, I wanted to ask you if you were going to that party on Friday?"
"The one at Murphy's? Yeah. Want to go together?" Clarke asked
"Definitely." Lexa replied. And that was all it took. Soon they were talking about everything from what to wear to the party, to all of the latest gossip.
