Tanagariel's Clexa First Kisses
Following the trend #10YearsofClexaKisses here you have the first kisses between Clexa in four of my works!
Between the Sheets, Part I
Voices started to rise when Principal Kane shouted from the stage. “Calm down everybody, the back-up generator will be up in a minute. So stay where you are and if you need assistance a teacher nearby will be there in a second!”
Only a minute in total darkness. Who could need assistance in a minute? Probably Clarke Griffin.
Lexa turned Clarke around so they could be chest to chest. There was no need for light for they knew where they were. And their bodies were connected, communicating through touch.
Clarke was breathing heavily as well as Lexa, both their bodies were radiating heat from their dance; sweat draped their bodies. Lexa’s hands ran over her bare back and Clarke trembled.
Clarke hands moved over strong arms until she could anchor herself on firm shoulders and locked her fingers behind Lexa’s neck. Lexa’s hands rested on her lower back pulling her closer and then one soft hand rested on her cheek. “In the dark.” Lexa said and her warm breath tickled Clarke’s face realizing how close they were.
And that was it, the end of the world for Clarke Griffin because Lexa Woods was kissing her. Soft lips moved over Clarke’s tenderly and awaited permission, Clarke didn’t hesitate and opened her lips welcoming the kiss, and kissing her back. Lips tasting of Chap Stick and punch, and it was sweet.
Lexa changed the angle of the kiss deepening it, controlling the pace, filled with passion, and Clarke wanted to kiss her forever. This was surreal, nothing could have ever compare to being kissed by Lexa.
The generators were back on in full force; the lights blinded everyone for a second, but not Clarke who opened her eyes to meet the prettiest green eyes she had ever seen. Lexa took a step back pulling away from her.
2. Can't Tame this Wild Heart (Tarzan AU)
Lexa stood up and went into the forest quickly before coming back. She brought a flower and offered it to Clarke.
“Gift!” Lexa smiled as Clarke took the flower in her hand.
Clarke blushed profusely.” Thanks, Lexa.”
Lexa sat closer to Clarke, she took Clarke’s hand and put it over her chest. “Happy with Clarke.”
She could feel how fast and strong Lexa’s heartbeat was.
“You make me happy too, Lexa.”
“Then we stay.” Lexa said simply. Her green eyes boring into Clarke’s. “We make new home.”
“Lexa.” Clarke let out a long breath. “Things aren’t that easy. You have to return to your family and I need to go back to my life.”
Lexa tilted her head slightly trying to grasp the situation. She huffed and shook her head.
Clarke reached for Lexa, cupping her face to make her look at her.
“Lexa, I know you’re angry and frustrated. Trust me, I’d love to spend more time with you, but things are complicated right now. I just wished…” Clarke realized how close she and Lexa were.
Her green eyes locked with her own, and then to her lips.
Lexa looked back into her eyes again. Suddenly she closed the gap between them and kissed her. It was a very sweet, innocent kiss. Tentative, guarded, but so tender. Clarke was paralyzed, surprised by the tender action. It wasn’t unwelcomed though because soon she closed her eyes and kissed Lexa back slowly, opening her lips to suck lightly Lexa’s plump, chapped lips. It wasn’t rushed, it was everything a first kiss should be. Fireworks behind her eyelids, and explosion of butterflies in her belly. But Clarke’s logic began to creep in her mind, telling her she couldn’t do this. Not to Lexa.
Clarke backed away. “I’m sorry, Lexa. We- we can’t.”
Lexa frowned again. “Wrong because I am girl?”
“What? No, no Lexa I ah, I don’t mind that you’re a girl.”
“Then why? Clarke does not like Lexa?”
Clarke chuckled. “No. I like you, but I can’t do this to you. I can’t do this knowing that you’ll have to go away, and it wouldn’t be fair to you. Your feelings, you have to grow some more to understand what you really feel. To be sure of those feelings. You might think you like me, but it could be just gratitude. Once you learn more you’ll understand that this isn’t simple either.”
“I am not confused. I know I like Clarke. We mate and make new home here!”
Clarke was now a furious red. “I ah, we uh, we can’t mate Lexa. I told you this isn’t simple. I’m sorry. I ah, I think we should get back to camp. It’s getting too dark.”
Lexa’s face was so heartbreaking to see. The confusion and yearning were so clear now. Her eyes that were bright suddenly became dull. Lexa nodded and picked up their stuff before making the way back.
“Give me your cellphone.” Clarke extended her hand.
Lexa pulled out her phone and unlocked it. The blonde chuckled as she typed her number in the contact list.
“What?” Lexa crossed her arms defensively.
She finished, returning the phone to Lexa. “You have Poison Ivy as your screen background?”
“Yeah, so what?” Lexa checked the new info. “Clarke Griffin?”
“Yup, that’s me and Harley Quinn is the more badass villain.”
Lexa had never been more offended in her life. “Oh god, get with the winning team here, Clarke. Seriously, Harley? She’s nothing but a puppet for the Joker!”
Clarke grinned mischievously. “I guess I’ll have to teach you who's on the losing team.”
In the blink of an eye, Clarke stepped into her personal space and claimed her lips. It was a very brief chaste kiss, just lip against lip, but it was like Lexa had been burnt. As if the oxygen had been sucked out of her lungs and the only thing that kept her alive were those soft, warm, lips.
“Thank you for the ride.” Clarke giggled taking two steps back, she turned on her heel and went to hitch a cab.
Lexa touched her lips not believing what just happened, the tingling left was warm and fuzzy. It was such a long time since she kissed someone, but this sensation was new to her.
Except it was with the girl who assumed she was Alexis, whom Clarke met at a nightclub and not awkward, lesbian disaster Lexa.
“Clarke, I didn’t push you away because I wanted to be professional. I should but... It’s because I-” Lexa hesitated and Clarke wondered who was this Lexa who faltered with words and looked suddenly shy. “Because you’re you.”
“Wanheda, I know.” Clarke dejected. “Your assignment.”
“I told you that you weren’t just an assignment to me.” Lexa sighed in resignation. “I’m sorry, Clarke. I never meant to hurt you with my actions.” Lexa offered a small sad smile that broke Clarke’s heart. Lexa turned on her heel and began to leave the room.
“Lexa, wait!” Clarke tried to reach Lexa before the woman left her bedroom.
Her jealousy - because she was very sure that’s what she felt for Costia now - blinded her completely to what she was really feeling for the brunette. And of course, she misinterpreted Lexa’s words as well. Lexa had been saying something to her in her own Lexa way - between words - and it wasn't until now that she removed the jealousy fold from her eyes that she could see Lexa again.
Lexa and her weren’t so different at all.
Both were lonely, suffered deep loss and cared too much.
Weakness, Lexa called it.
Clarke called it strength.
In the end it was the same thing.
There was only one way for Clarke to find out.
Clarke skipped the last steps to reach Lexa, cupped her face gently and closed the distance between them.
Her lips touched Lexa’s, and it was like everything was right in the world. Lexa was clearly caught by surprise, however, the tension slowly started to leave the brunette. Clarke felt Lexa melt into the kiss and open up to her, finally lowering her shields completely. Clarke took it as a positive signal to deepen the kiss, her hands moving to entangle into the soft chestnut braids and the baby hairs on the nape of her neck to pull Lexa closer, to eliminate any space left between them. Lexa’s hands were quick to find an anchor in Clarke’s lower back, keeping her steady and secure.
Nothing could have prepared Clarke for the sensations she felt by pressing her lips ever so softly against Lexa’s plump lips. It was out of this world, her heart was beating so fast, it felt as if it was going to jump out of her chest; but soon she felt the change in Lexa. The tightness of her jaw and neck so Clarke pulled away.
“I- I can’t...” Lexa said. “I’m sorry, Ms. Griffin.” Her demeanor was back to the cold, stoic, emotionless woman. Her walls were so high that right now it was an impossible task to go through them.
She didn’t give a chance to Clarke to say anything else. Lexa was out of her room leaving her with nothing but want and regret.
