I know in fanfiction we generally joke about the 'I love you' — 'i know'
But canon clexa?? Do you guys know, the amount of emotion that you can hear through Clarke's voice any time she said she loves Lexa? You're gonna tell me she doesn't say it that way to her face un a fix it?
I think after all the fighting all the surviving all the killing and healing. I think she just grabs her face sometimes, just looks at her and all those tiny details no one but her seems to notice are changing. And she breath out with all her will "I love you"
Lexa smiles, that tender smile that takes over her face in a shy little tilt of her lips as her ear blush. She blinks up just to say "i know"
Because she does. Because she doesn't doubt it. Because they've been through so much together, because Clarke has show her over and over again just how much. Because she knows and she needs Clarke to know that she knows, she needs it more than telling her she loves her. She knows Clarke knows that, she needs to make sure she knows that Lexa knows she loves her.
Because at the end of the day, what's Clarke if not a scared little girl who didn't get enough chances to tell the people she loved that she loved them?
Out of all of her regrets? I know damn well she regrets not saying it enough.
