AO3 , Chp. 1 , Chp. 3
Lets say Abby's caught up in the ER and can't come home so Clarke has to spend the next day with Lexa.
Notes:
It's pretty short and it's not edited yet but I really wanted to give you guys a chapter. Enjoy :P
A sunshine filtered through the windows, illuminating the surroundings. Clarke sat up confused, she was in an unfamiliar room. It had a few certificates hung up on the white walls, dark grey shelves that held up pictures of Lexa and what Clarke assumes is her family. In one frame, there was a burly man wearing a maroon colored shirt, an averaged height redhead - who was shorter than Lexa in the photo -, a blonde giving Lexa a nudgie and Lexa herself. She looks happy in this picture. The young girl continued to scan the room, her thoughts flowing freely. This lead to Clarke wandering how she got into the room in the first place. She didn't know how she got there, let alone when she walked into this room.
"Oh, you're awake." This gave Clarke a shock, waking her up from her slightly dazed state. "Good morning." She replied.
"I am guessing you had a sound sleep considering it's twelve." Lexa quipped. A blush creeped up the other girls face, her ears burning red.
"Oh gosh Miss Woods, I didn't mean to sleep in so long."
"I told you 'Lexa' is fine. And it's okay. Also if you're wandering, you fell asleep whilst we were watching TV, so I brought you up to my room."
Well that answers the question. "Did you?" Clarke questioned insecurely.
"Don't worry, I slept on the couch. I wouldn't sleep in the same bed as you unless you were okay with it." The brunette reassured. Once again, green eyes met blue. Clarke broke the eye contact, to take in her teachers stature. Lexa gave her student a reassuring smile that made Clarke feel much more at ease. They sat there for a while, both not wanting break the comfortable silence that fell upon the two. But it was inevitable.
'Would you like to go to your house to wash up then lunch or..." The blonde seemed to give it some thought before saying,
"My place. I can cook us mac and cheese if you'd like, cause i wanted to" she paused, "Never-mind, lets just go to my house."
"Okay, um could you just wait here, I just need to freshen up."
"Just take your time." Lexa watched as the girl scurried off into the bathroom, leaving her alone to get lost in her thoughts. What is this girl doing to me? I mean I am her teacher for gods sake! Maybe I shouldn't have told Abby I could watch over Clarke. Thinking of Abby, where is she? Her thoughts were cut of by a flash of blonde hair.
"Sorry, did I take long?" Lexa just shakes her head 'no'.
"Okay, I should start cooking."
"Do you want help?"
"I'll be fine, don't worry" Clarke shot her a smile and Lexa swore her heart rate speed up. 'Ding' Not noticing Clarke went into the kitchen, the brunette checked her phone, it was a text from Anya.
AnyaAss: Hey lil sis you free tdy
Heda: No, I'm 'babysitting'
AnyaAss: babysitting?
Heda: My neighbor
AnyaAss: whatever you say kid
Lexa was about to type a response when she heard a pan drop on the floor as Clarke cursed rather loudly. The teacher quickly stood from her seat, rushing into the kitchen where she found Clarke cradling her hand in front of a broken pan that had hot mac and cheese spilling out.
"Clarke are you okay?"
"Yea" Lie.
"Let me look at your hand." The burn didn't look to bad but would still have hurt a shit ton, so she lead Clarke over to the sink to put her hand under some cold water.
"Do you have a first aid kit?" Clarke had a pained expression on her face as she told Lexa where she could find the kit. She instructed the younger girl to stay there for ten to fifteen minutes before gently cleaning the burnt area with soap.
Lexa came back quickly, grabbing a paper towel to dry off Clarkes hand. She then rubs a liquid on the burnt area before wrapping it with some gauze. Lexa looked at Clarke to see if she was okay. The blonde didn't meet the other girls eye, instead muttering a soft 'Thank you' in embarrassment.
"How bout we order pizza. Sound good?"
"Okay."
