Our Journey (the Fourth Book in the Her Weakness series)

Chapter 90

Lexa's POV

"Heda Lexa kom Trikru and Wanheda Clarke Griffin kom Skaikru, you are now wives. You may kiss your bride." The officiant says.

Through the tears in my eyes, I lean in and kiss Clarke deeply. I kiss her the way I always wished our first kiss could have been like. Our lips move together, perfectly synchronized. We have loved each other long enough to know how to work with each other, and I like to imagine that it shows in our kisses, how perfect we are for each other. Clarke gently nips my lower lip and slips her tongue into my mouth. I melt in her arms and tighten my arms around her waist, letting out a soft moan.

Remembering we are in front of a rather large audience, I pull back and Clarke chases my lips for a moment. She blushes like she also just remembered that we are not alone. I slide my hands downwards so I can hold both of her hands in my own.

"Rae, are you crying?" I ask, amused.

Raven sniffs and wipes her eye with her hand. "No, I just have some dust in my eye." I can practically feel Octavia's look from the other direction and more tears fall down Raven's face. "It's just so gay, alright?" She chokes out.

"It's a wedding between a lesbian and a bi woman, what did you expect?" Octavia asks, amused. But I can hear the rawness of her voice and know she has been crying too.

"I didn't expect to cry so much. Gods, I probably look like I'm trying to imitate Lexa's warpaint." Raven sniffles again and takes a tissue from Clarke.

"You do look like a raccoon, babe." Octavia admits.

I groan softly, fighting off a smile. These Skai girls are never going to stop comparing my intimidating warpaint to a raccoon.

"Thank you all for coming for the ceremony. Now, it is time for the party. There are food and drinks, and an area to dance!"

Cheers erupt from the crowd and I chuckle when I hear Octavia cheering too.

"Is this what Jasper and Monty have been so busy for? I thought it was just the bachelorette party!" Raven says. "No wonder they built that stand and put 'WARNING: HAS HIGH ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION' in all caps on it."

"Yeah, they've been brewing like crazy. That's what I thought too. Man, these Grounders aren't going to know what hit them." Octavia laughs.

I chuckle. "They will not think Skaikru can make strong alcohol."

"Ha! You two are going to have a lot of people passed out after your wedding," Raven cackles. "It's going to look like another apocalypse happened, with bodies everywhere. But no! It's just drunk people!"

"Hey, it means they can be as loud as they want on their wedding night." Octavia winks. Then her eyes widen and I swear I can see them sparkle. "And so can we!"

"O, you have people staying in your house. You can't be as loud as you want," Clarke points out.

Octavia pouts. "Oh, boo."

Clarke squeezes my hand, drawing my attention once more. "Now come on, wife." Her eyes sparkle too, but that may just be because of the tears forming in my eyes at the sound of her referring to me as her wife. "I want to have my first dance with you as wives."

I beam at her. "Are we going to sing..."

"Our song? Hell yeah!"

Clarke smiles just as brightly back at me as she drags me through the crowd, to the dance floor. No one is on it quite yet, with people flooding the tables and stands with food and drink.

The officiant appears near us and whistles loudly, causing everyone within earshot to cringe and look at them. "My apologies to your eardrums, but the brides are about to have their first dance. Musicians, if you would please!"

With those words, he fades back into the crowd. The musicians begin playing the instrumentals to our song and I pull Clarke close.

"May I have this dance, wife?"

"You may, wife."

We clear our throats and then begin to sing. Our voices fill the town easily, what with how it is otherwise silent except for the musicians. Our voices intwine, creating a beautiful melody for the gathered crowd to hear.

"Wide men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you. Shall I stay? Would it be a sin? If I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows surely to the sea. Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be!" As Clarke and I sing, we sway softly, turning in a slow circle. "Take my hand, take my whole life too. For I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows surely to the sea. Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be!" The music fades out, leaving just our voices. "Take my hand, take my whole life too. For I can't help falling in love with you. For I can't help falling in love with you."

The last note rings out and I rest my forehead against my wife's, both of us beaming at each other. We grin at the gathered crowd and bow when the thunderous applause starts.

"Now who's crying?" Raven says to Octavia.

"Everyone," Octavia replies. "Including you."

They both chuckle and wipe their tears away before pulling Clarke and I into a hug. The musicians begin again with more lively music, meant to get people dancing.

I pull Clarke close to me and she leans in before I get the chance to. We meet halfway and I could swear I see sparks behind my eyelids when our lips touch. The heart that beats in my chest is officially no longer my own, and to be honest it has not been my own for a long time. The heart that beats in my chest belongs to Clarke, just like the heart that beats in her chest belongs to me.

Who else is crying? Aaah! I love these nerds! And today is my last day before I head back to school :/ I'm going to miss being home. Especially my puppies! At least I have a large Appa stuffed animal to cuddle with now. It's a little smaller than one of my dogs so I can cuddle with that instead of her... But it won't be the same!

On the subject of the end of this book, I figured I would give you guys all the info I have right now! Okay, so it's not ending today. Or next chapter. I plan on it taking another month at least to get through the end of this book. And after that, I start the prompt book! Which is going to be me filling any prompts you send in! It could be anything in this universe, or anything! Like a soulmate au in a different world, it could be Octaven and kids, it could be a smut prompt (yes I'll fill those, but only ones that follow my three s' "safe, sane, consential." Sane as in no taking advantage of mental states and such). It could be a Fine Stud Lexa au prompt, a cracky prompt, anything! Just comment here, message me, or hit me up on Tumblr at Wolf3223! And just let me know if you don't want me to include your name when I fill the prompt! Also, you're welcome to prompt as many times as you want! And even after I've "finished" the prompt book/run out of prompts, if you send in more I'll fill them in my spare time! :)

Thank you all for reading and sticking through this long a*s note! Stay awesome!
