clarke, unable to sleep, remaining in bed just to be close to lexa for a few uninterrupted hours. feeling her chest rise and fall, watching her eyes flutter, and her face twitch at random moments. trying to contain chuckles when lexa mumbles out random words in trigedasleng. seeing the sun rise through their window and doing her best to refrain from waking lexa up until the last possible moment because she needs to sleep. hearing to city below start to come to life, knowing it’s only a matter of time before the noise makes lexa stir.
smiling as she presses a tender kiss to lexa’s forehead, more gentle than clarke believes she can manage at times, and more intimate than lexa thinks she deserves. a kiss to her cheek and she starts to stir, her breathing changing just slightly. a kiss to the side of her mouth. a kiss to lexa’s lips, and clarke’s smiles again when she feels its returned by a sleepy but very much conscious lexa.
