[“I love you,” Lexa whispers, her eyes widening just a little bit more at the confession, “I love you”. She pauses momentarily to let it sink in and tilts her head to the side, as if she is in awe of what she is saying. As if the overwhelming thumping in her chest is finally easing as it comes out and is making it that much more real. “I love you. I love you. I love you, Clarke,” she repeats it like a mantra, emphasizing each word like she’s getting used to saying it again. Like she likes the sound of it coming from her mouth. Like saying it out loud has opened the floodgates of her heart and there’s no way in hell she can stop it now. ] Clarke and Lexa survived another war between their people. Now that Pike has been subdued, Clarke is back in Polis, and the two leaders finally give in to start their promised 'someday', so hollow when first spoken, now a very real possibility. Their new and exciting courtship is still hidden from the public, and no recent threats have emerged. But Clarke and Lexa are well aware that things don’t stay hidden for long, and that new conflicts always arise. And that it’s not a matter of if, but when. At least this time, they’ll be on the same side.
