Chapter Text
Everything there was peaceful. That day was just perfect. The sun was shining, the wind blew just the right way. It was warm but not too hot. The atmosphere was just the way Lexa liked.
They were sitting in their favorite spot in the Tri Park. It wasn't as giant as central park, but it was quite big. Their favorite spot was just a few meters from the main road here. It was a space surrounded by a lot of broadleaf trees. In the middle of this space there are three seats. Lexa was sitting in the middle one here. Next to her to the right was sitting Anya, to her left was sitting Lincoln. They really liked this spot because it was so peaceful but today it was even more peaceful than ever.
They sat here engaging in small talk.
"So how about going to the Grounders?"
Asked Lincoln turning towards both girls. That was their place to eat, drink, meet with the grand and have some fun. It was a friend's bar that they adopted as their hanging spot.
"I would kill for Nyko's burger."
Answered Anya.
"How about you Lexa?"
Both of her friends turned their attention towards her. Unfortunately ruining this some kind of special, quiet moment. Lexa didn't know what it was but it was all too good to be true.
"I guess we could go there."
She said. But Not any one of them started to talk again or stood up. Not one of them seemed to mind. They were all there in this moment and it was all that mattered for now.
Two of the brunette's friends started to talk again but she was not in this space mentally. Of course she was here but she seemed to think about something different. But the truth is that she didn't think about anything at all, not now.
They were sitting there for quite some time. Everything still the same. Quiet, peaceful and empty. There wasn't anyone there except them.
Next thing Lexa knows is that Anya is shifting uncomfortably in her seat. She looks at her and sees a weird emotion on her face.
"HI, I think you should go the other way. You know?."
She says looking in front of her towards the road that leads through the park. She says this in a very weird voice clearly uncomfortable saying that.
Someone appeared in front of them. She could feel that but she didn't look that way.
That someone asked why. That voice sounded familiar but at the same time Lexa couldn't say to whom it belonged. She didn't look at that someone, she looked at the ground somehow ashamed.
Anya's answer to that person's question was a simple left hand gesture towards Lexa.
At that time Lexa looked in front of her and she saw her. There in the middle of the road a couple of meters away was standing the one and only.
At first she didn't recognize her but then it all came to her. It was Clarke. At the same time she felt like the weight of the world was on her shoulders but also like the burden was lifted off of her.
The blonde answered to Anya's hand gesture.
"I don't think there should be a problem."
She said uncomfortable too clearly looking for affirmation. She was standing still there giving them all some space.
Both of Lexa's friends turned to her with unbelievable faces. They were searching for some kind of affirmation out of her. That it was indeed alright. That it was all okay. A
The brunette still looking at her feet decided to say.
"I don't think there should be."
After that the stood up and very slowly started to walk towards Clarke. Every step felt like two meters long but also like she was standing in the same spot not moving at all.
Lincoln with Anya were watching with wild eyes. Looking at what is happening in front of their eyes and thinking what is going to happen.
When Lexa eventually walked to Clarke and was closer to her than two meters everything seemed like the time stopped. Like everything around them vanished. There was no sun, no wind, no park, no trees. There was nothing except for her and the girl in front of her.
They were both looking at each other with emotions running through their eyes but neither of them said a word, neither of them moved.
Then in a blink of an eye they both stepped each a meter towards and hugged.
Now all the emotions and thoughts in their heads seemed to slow down. Then it was even more peaceful than she first thought.
The girls were standing there hugging each other being comfortable with a just being there in this place and this time.
Everything around them seemed to reappear. Again Lexa felt the sun on her face and the wind blowing just the right way.
Their arms were around each other. Clarke being a little bit shorter curled up in Lexa's neck. They were standing like that both afraid to ruin this idyllic moment. Afraid of the world that they knew. They seemed to forget about everything.
Then Lexa felt Clarke's breath on her neck. It was a very pleasant feeling but she was afraid of what she blonde girl would like to say.
But she was right.
"You know if we're going to do this, it's going to be a lot of work."
Said the blonde girl looking straight into the other girl's green eyes. Lexa didn't say anything, she was looking straight ahead. She felt Clarke's head returning to its place in her neck. She hugged the blonde girl even harder and said.
" It is going to be a lot of work."
Lexa woke up from this beautiful dream confused. She sat in her bed with the sheets all curled and twisted. She didn't want to believe it. No. Not again.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck"
She said rubbing the palms of her hands in her temples. She didn't know why after all these years that girl still hunted her dreams. She was only telling herself that.
She knew why. Of course she knew.
