Famous In Love

Lexa could lay there forever. Just watching while Clarke drew her and how her eyes roamed over every small detail of her body. Lexa was scared that Clarke would notice her heartbeat. The fast thumping of her heart in her chest. She didn’t even know why it was going so fast. She felt comfortable around Clarke, yet the blonde managed to make her nervous. Shorter than she expected and she wanted, Clarke brushed the remnants of her pencil away with her hand and got up from the couch. Without saying anything, just a smug look on her face she handed over the drawing to Lexa. “Are you done already?” Lexa asked but she didn’t wait for a response because the drawing said it all. Lexa’s mouth fell open of surprise when she saw Clarke’s drawing skills. She had seen them before on the previous drawing but this requires much more skills to draw the details of a full body. “Wow, Clarke. I’m speechless. This is really good.” 
“You think? It’s all yours. I want you to keep it.” 
“Thanks but why aren’t you doing anything with it?” 
“Because I’m already practising one of my talents. I can’t do both of them. I had to make a choice. So it became drawing as hobby.” 
“But what if you can do both at one?” Lexa asked while Clarke started to lay her gear away. She looked confused at the brunette and Lexa continued, “Draw the covers of your albums and songs. Or even music videos, those drawings when you flip the next pages so fast that it seems like it’s actually moving. You’re talented and I saw how concentrated you were and how passionate you are about this.” Lexa said and Clarke didn’t know what to say about it. “I never thought of it that way.” Clarke said with a smile and Lexa smiled back. “You should really think of it.” Lexa said and Clarke nodded. “Thanks. You’re right. It doesn’t sound all to bad.” 
“That’s what friends do right? Give each other some advice.” Lexa said and without saying anything Clarke pulled her into a hug. Neither of them said anything or found it weird. They just held each other and it felt right. Knocks on the door interrupted them and forced them to let go of each other. Clarke walked to the door  to open it and the moment it opened, Raven walked in the room with a fast pace. Clarke knew this was a bad sign. “What’s wrong?” Clarke immediately asked. “What’s wrong?! What is not wrong?! We are in big trouble.” Raven said while she started to pace back and forth. “Raven, I need you to calm down and tell me what the fuck is going on.” Clarke said while she started to get nervous of Raven’s behaviour. “Bellamy. He started to dance with some girl yesterday at the club but apparently she had a boyfriend. Things got messed up after you left and he’s all beaten up. He fought back and his knuckles are messed up now. He can’t perform tomorrow.” 
“How bad?” Clarke asked and Raven walked towards her with her phone. 

“What the hell is this?!” Clarke said while she looked at the Instagram post. “Jasper was by his side. Of course those two idiots found it the best plan to post it on social media.”
“He needs to get it off there.” Clarke said and she was about to find Bellamy but Raven held the blonde back. “It’s too late already. It’s been up for hours now. I bet it won’t take long before Celebrity News will post something about it. Even if we delete it, there will be screenshots already. Now our biggest problem is for tomorrow. We can’t perform without pianist.” Raven said and Clarke’s gaze naturally went to Lexa’s side who had listened to all of it quietly. At first Lexa didn’t know what Clarke referred to until she saw the pouting lips and the begging hands. “Hell no, Clarke! Don’t even think about it!” Lexa said and Clarke walked closer to the brunette to take her hands in hers. “Please Lexa! You’re our last hope. I heard you play and you’re amazing at it.” 
“No Clarke! I don’t know what to play or at what times. I have never stood on a stage in my life before. And now you’re asking me to be your pianist in front of thousands of people?! Are you out of your mind?! I can’t do that!” 
“Yes you can! We have hours to practise now before tomorrow. We can learn you now. I believe in you! Please!” Clarke begged while she looked right into the green eyes. Lexa sighed while she looked back into the blue ones. “Please.” Clarke said again, softer this time and without realising it Lexa nodded. “Alright.” She said with a nod and Clarke squealed while she flew in Lexa’s arms and it didn’t take long for Raven to join them.
