AUTHORS NOTE: This is probably the first thing I've written in close to ten years so I'm a bit out of practice. Please be kind. This story is basically my headcanon from the end of the love scene onwards because actual canon majorly sucked. I'll try to update regularly but my muses are moody and real life interferes sometimes. Hope you enjoy.

The last of the late evening sun shone through Polis tower illuminating the Heda's quarters. Clarke lay with her head on Lexa's shoulder while Lexa lazily ran her fingers over Clarke's back. Clarke had never felt so content or so loved. Didn't even know it was possible until now. The words hadn't been said by either of them but it was unnecessary. They had said them with every tender caress, kiss and adoring look. She reveled it and wished they could lay in this bed forever. Wished they were just two ordinary women with no responsibilities but to love each other. But they weren't. They were the leaders of their peoples and peace had to be secured before moments like this between them were assured.

Pressing a tender kiss to Lexa's neck Clarke reluctantly broke the spell they had fallen under. "I really do need to go now before Octavia kills me."

Lexa squeezed her closer for a second before she let Clarke go and they both started to dress. Lexa couldn't help but stare at Clarke in awe still that this magnificent creature felt the same as she did. As a result she was slower in getting presentable again.

Clarke walked over to her gifting her with a small smile and wrapping arms around Lexa's neck while Lexa's wrapped around her waist. "I said I didn't know where home was but I do now. I think I always did I just didn't want to admit it." She swallowed looking into Lexa's eyes seeing the absolute love that shown there and gathered her courage. "You're home to me. I'm coming back to you. Ill fix the mess my people have caused and I'm coming back. We'll make peace between our people happen."

Lexa smiled feeling truly optimistic for the first time in a long time. It was hard not to be when Clarke Griffin told you she was doing something. Nothing stopped her when she set her mind to something. It was one of the many things Lexa loved about her. She kissed Clarke tenderly. "Go gather your things I'll finish dressing and escort you to the blockade." She reluctantly released Clarke and watched her leave. The room already felt empty without her blonde goddess gracing it with her beauty. Hopefully the situation with skikru would be solved quickly for her heart was already beginning to ache.
