Better Together

Chapter 46: Unconditional Love

So, I was vibing in my room, listening to music, and "Prom Queen" by mxmtoon came on. Then, it struck my that I almost forgot prom! How could I do that to them?! So... Double update I guess :) Enjoy. Also, I know it's back-to-back Lexa POV, but I feel like Lexa would be the one to prompose.

Lexa's POV

"Holy shit Luna!" I yelled while running on the treadmill. In fact, I was so surprised by this realization I face planted into the treadmill and was thrown off it. Luna started laughing hysterically while I rubbed at my face. That hurt like a bitch. "Prom!" I scream. 

"You forgot?" she exclaims. 

"Clarke is going to kill me!" I shout while getting up. 

"Well, there's still a week-"

"A week? I thought there was a month!" I scream. 

Oh my god. My girlfriend is going to murder me for taking so long to do this. She's literally been hinting at me for months. God, I'm awful. "Chill out. I'll help you. We'll skip school tomorrow. Umm, you can pretend to be sick, and I'll stay home to 'keep an eye on you'," she devises a plan.

"Thank you Luna! God she's going to kill me," I repeat. 

"She loves you too much to do that," Luna says.

"You know what I mean," I tell her. 

"Whatever, now go shower and get ready for bed. You stink," Luna smirks. I stick my tongue out at her and make my way to the shower. 

I shower quickly, eager to sleep for tomorrow. That's when it hits me. I don't even know how to ask her! Fuck. I'm LITERALLY the worst. At this rate, I wouldn't blame Clarke if she killed me. I'm honestly surprised she hasn't done it herself yet. 

I make my way back to my room and decide that I'll try to think of some when Clarke falls asleep. "Hey baby," Clarke coos when she sees me answer. I smile at her and she opens her arms for me and makes grabby hands. I shake my head fondly at her and lay down with her. I kiss her cheek, and we lay down so we're facing each other. 

"What happened to your face baby?" she chuckles, but I can tell she's concerned. 

"Oh, I- uh.... I tripped off the treadmill," I admit while rubbing the back of my neck. 

Her eyes widen, and she brings a hand up to cover her mouth in an attempt to hide her laughter. "It's okay. You can laugh. It's funny," I say, and she lets it all go. 

"You- you're telling m-me, THE Alexandria Pine f-fell off a t-treadmill," she stutters between laughs. My heart flutters at her use of my fill name, but I quickly recover.

"Yes, I Alexandria Pine fell off a treadmill," I confirm.

"God you're such a klutz," she laughs while pulling me in for a kiss.

"You love it," I whisper in her ear and smirk when I see and feel her shiver. 

After that, we relax and lay down to prepare for tomorrow. Both preparing for different things, but things nonetheless. Clarke lays her head on my shoulder and lets out a content sigh when her hands find their way under my shirt to my abs. I smirk and shake my head with a smile. This girl really does have an obsession. 

"You should really work on these more Lex, I think they're fading," she smirks.

"Are not!" I exclaim. 

"I think they are," she says solemnly but shoots me a goofy grin. 

"Oh fuck off and go to sleep," I say while rolling away from her.
