It was finally graduation day and Lexa was freaking out for two reasons. One, tomorrow she was coming out to her mom. And two, she couldn't find Clarke and everyone had to be in the auditorium in half an hour. She finally found Clarke in the photography room, developing pictures.

"Clarke, what are you doing? We have to go get our gowns," Lexa said confused.

"Developing pictures obviously, what does it look like I'm doing?"

"Why?"

"Because this is the last time I'll be able to use this room, and I have some amazing pictures I want to develop."

"But we need to go."

"Only a couple of more minutes, I promise."

"Fine," Lexa said as she went outside to look at the ones that were already developed. "They're amazing!"

"I know, I'm an amazing photographer!" Clarke yelled from the darkroom.

Lexa kept looking through the pictures smiling as she saw their friends, Clarke's mom with their friends, Picasso, Aden, a bunch of her, a bunch of them together, and other scenic ones.

"Awww, this one is so cute. Can I keep it?" Lexa asked when she heard Clarke come into the room.

"Of course, you don't need to ask. You can keep any except this one," Clarke said holding up a picture with a smirk.

"CLARKE!"

"Lexa."

"I- I- what is that?"

"Obviously us, you literally said okay to taking the picture, remember?"

"I- yes, but we're in school."

"We're graduating so we can't get in trouble for having this."

"I- I- still, put it away."

"God, I love how flustered you get," Clarke laughed while putting all the pictures in her bag.

"Shut up and let's go."

When they finally got to the auditorium they couldn't stop saying how adorable each other looked in their cap and gowns. And after graduation, she had a late lunch with her family then facetimed Callie telling her the plan she made to come out while she got ready for her date with Clarke.

The whole date Clarke couldn't stop saying how beautiful Lexa was, making Lexa blush, making her want to compliment the blushing brunette even more. And when the date was over Clarke decided to sleep over to calm Lexa.

The next day right then Lexa opened her eyes she started freaking out. She realized that this was the day she was coming out to her mom. She was freaking out until she felt a face nuzzling into the crook of her neck, giving soft kisses, as an arm wrapped around her, holding her close.

"Don't worry baby," Clarke whispered before giving another kiss, "everything will be okay. I've got you."

"You promise?" Lexa asked as she held onto the arm that was wrapped around her.

"Of course baby, I'll be right here the whole time."

"No, that everything will be okay?"

"I- I- I can't promise that but I can promise that Aden will still love you, your dad will still love you, my mom will still love you, our friends will still love you, your friends back in Australia will still love you, you'll still have a home, and as long as you give Picasso his belly rubs and kisses he'll definitely still love you," Clarke said as moved so she was laying on top on the brunette. "And I can also promise I will never ever stop loving you for as long as we live...or this smoking body," Clarke said as she started kissing down Lexa's neck.

Lexa knew she shouldn't have let Clarke continue as she felt her shirt being pulled up, she knew it was a bad idea, but she let her continue. Orgasms were how the blonde dealt with stress, and it always worked, so she thought why not try it.

"Can I keep going?" Clarke asked, resting her head on Lexa's stomach.

"Yeah."

"Anything in particular?"

"No, just- just keep going."

Clarke pulled Lexa's shirt over her head and started kissing along her chest, softly kissing the skin. Her thumbs went to Lexa's breasts and brushed over the nipples, feeling them harden under her touch. Soon after her mouth made its way down to Lexa's left breast and left soft kisses all around it. And as her tongue licked a nipple she watched Lexa covered her mouth because of the whimper she let out.

Lexa's head had fallen to the side, pushed into the pillow, as her breathing started to get heavy, and her skin started to become flushed. Her hand that wasn't covering her mouth went to Clarke's head, gently pushing her head down.

She sucked one more time, a little harder than before, then kissed her way across Lexa's chest to her other. She gave the same attention to the right said as she did the left, kissing all around it, then licking the nipple, before sucking on it, letting her teeth gently graze it. She kissed her way back up, nibbling on Lexa's ear, softly sucking on her ear, before whispering.

"You're a good girl, you know that?" Clarke asked earning a shrug from the brunette. "Well, you are such a good girl, and good girls need their bodies worshiped too. Would you like me to do that? Would you like me to devote time to your wonderfully beautiful body, showing you how much I love and adore it?"

"Y- yes, please."

"Of course, I'll do anything for my babygirl."

Lexa had to admit Clarke did have a pretty great way of de-stressing. Her eyes were closed as she listened to the praises Clarke whispered to her, definitely turning her on more and more by the second, and the kisses she felt along her stomach weren't helping, not one bit.

By the time she has gotten to the waistband on Lexa's shorts, she looked up to see Lexa's bright red chest rising and falling heavily.

"Will my good girl let me take her shorts off?"

"Y- yes."

"Would you like me to use my mouth," Clarke asked as she started to pull slowly her shorts down, "or hand, or both?"

"Mmm, mouth?"

"Of course, anything for my beautiful, beautiful girl that I am so proud of."

Clarke left a few more kisses along Lexa's toned stomach as she slowly pulled the shorts off, kissing the skin that was slowly being exposed.

"Girls we need to le- OH MY GOD!" Gustus yelled when he opened the door.

"DAD!" Lexa yelled as she covered herself with a blanket before looking over at the smaller figure next to him, "ADEN!"

"OH MY GOD, I- I- I-" Clarke stuttered as she jumped away from Lexa.

"WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING?" Aden yelled in confusion.

"Wait for us downstairs," Gustus said to Aden, watching him skip away before looking back at the two girls. "You know the rules!"

"I- I- I'm sorry. I just- we weren't thinking. C- Clarke was umm, well she was umm-"

"I don't wanna hear it, I wanna pretend I didn't see anything, and I don't want this happening ever again or the door will be staying open at all times."

"Of course Gustus. I'm so sorry, it will never happen again, ever I promise."

"Just hurry up and get ready so we can go get breakfast and pretend this never happened."

Once Gustus shut the door Lexa started freaking out, so Clarke went to Lexa's closet, grabbing some clothes for her.

"Lexa, everything is okay. Just go in the bathroom, take a shower, and get ready," Clarke said as she handed Lexa the clothes she picked out for her, "I'll use the hall bathroom."

Lexa nodded her head and went into the bathroom. After the girls were ready there was an awkward silence most of the car ride to the cafe. And once they finally got there Lexa told her dad that she was going to come out to Aden.

"Hey Aden, can I talk to you?"

"It depends, if it's about your drums, it wasn't me."

"My dru- what do you do to my drums?"

"Nothing."

"Aden," Lexa said warningly.

"Nothing, I just maybe wrote with a purple sharpie on the drumsticks."

"What? Which ones? My favorite ones?"

"No, I don't think so. It's the ones you let me use when I pretend I'm playing the drums. I'm sorry I was bored, don't be mad at me."

"I'm not, I just- why? What was the point?"

"Bored," Aden said shrugging his shoulders. "I think I made them look cooler."

"Whatever, I'm not mad. I just wanna talk to you, we wanna talk to you," Lexa said pointing at Clarke and her.

Once Lexa was about to start speaking again tears started to run down her cheeks making Aden get up and hug her.

"Don't be sad Lexy."

"I'm not."

"Then why are you crying?" He asked as he started to whip the tears off Lexa's cheeks.

"Because I'm happy and I'm nervous, but I don't know why I'm nervous because your only eight, and you don't how to hate."

"I'm confused, Clarke what is she talking about?"

"Just let her talk buddy."

"Okay so," Lexa said as she cleared her throat, "I'm about to tell you a big secret and you can't tell mum, I'm gonna tell her later today, I just don't want you telling her first, okay?"

"Pinky promise," Aden said as he nodded his head and put his pinky up.

Once they made their pinky promise, Lexa nervously started playing with Clarke's hand.

"So, I have recently been dating someone, well not really recently. Umm, I've been dating someone since the end of October."

"Who? I hope it's Murphy, I like him, he's cool and likes SpongeBob."

"No," Lexa said laughing, "it- it's definitely not Murphy."

"Mmm, then who? Lincoln's the only other cool one that your friends with but he's dating Octavia. I wish it was Murphy."

"Aden, who's the coolest girl that Lexa's friends with?" Clarke asked.

"You, then Octavia. I would say Raven but she's always saying things I don't understand that make Lexa yell at her then kick me out of the room."

"You'll understand them one day buddy."

"As I was saying," Lexa said glaring at Clarke before looking back as Aden, "I'm dating someone, you already know them and I like them a lot, I love them a lot. So I hope you're happy for me, I- I would really like for you to be happy for me."

"You're so annoying, just tell me who it is."

"Yeah, who is it," Clarke same making Lexa roll her eyes.

Lexa's voice started to get shaking again and she started to play with a ring that was on Clarke's hand. "So Aden, I uhh, well I'm ummm, I'm dating C- I'm dating Clarke. Aden, I'm dating Clarke."

"WAIT REALLY? OH MY GOD, I HAVE TO TELL MADI!" Aden screamed causing a few stares.

"Why?" Clarke and Lexa asked in unison.

"After I saw the picture of Clarke and I told Madi I thought Clarke was pretty, she said you lied to me and that girls don't show girls pictures of them in underwear, and she said that you guys probably liked each other. We've been waiting for when you guys date!"

"Wait what? Y- you saw that?" Clarke asked as her cheeks started to get red from embarrassment.

"What did you just say?" Gustus asked.

"Lexy has a picture of Clarke in her underwear, I don't know if you know this Clarke, but you're really pretty."

"Girls what is he talking about?"

"D- did he see the others?" Clarke asked nervously.

"What do you mean the others?" Gustus asked.

"Dad, I umm, I- I think it's umm, well I uhh, I think it's better if you don't know. And Clarke let's uhh, let's go outside maybe?" Lexa suggested.

Once the two got outside Clarke started pacing back and forth causing Lexa to need to hold her still.

"Sooo, my brother might have a little crush on you."

"After seeing me in my underwear. No, not even underwear, not in a sports bra and boy shorts or just normal underwear. He saw me in fucking lace see-through lingerie. Do you realize how embarrassing that is?"

"He's only eight it's fine."

"He's only eight it's fine," Clarke said in a mocking tone. "No it isn't, he saw my boobs and now has a crush on me. You were the first person who's ever seen me in that kind of lingerie before, and the second person I ever sent nudes to. Now I can add your brother to the list."

"Okay, don't say it like that, it makes it seem like you sent them to him. Also, wait really? That was your second time sending nudes? Wait, that's was your first time wearing something like that?"

"Yes, why do you always sound so surprised when I tell you my first time doing something is with you?"

"I don't know, you just have had more experience them me, with literally everything, so I'm just surprised that there's a lot you didn't do."

"Just because I've slept with more people doesn't mean I've done these crazy sex things with them."

"Okay anyway, I'm sorry I didn't tell you when it happened, I just- I didn't really think it was that important but I see how wrong I was, and I'm sorry, extremely sorry."

"It's okay, I'm just never sending you nudes again."

"Really? I mean I kinda liked them. Well, actually I loved them."

"I- why are you so bold all of a sudden?"

"I don't know, but we better go inside."

After breakfast and the car ride home which was again filled with a ton of awkward silence. The two girls went upstairs with Aden who decided to draw two pictures of them cuddling up together and gave one to each of them.

"Mum, can you sit down? I- I wanna talk to you," Lexa said once her mom finally came home.

"Sure honey, just let me go say hi to Aden first."

"Umm, no. Can I please talk to you first?"

"Fine, what do you need to tell me?" Anya asked as she sat down.

"Okay, so there's something I need to tell you, D- dad already knows and I just told Aden. Both of them are extremely happy for me so I hope you can be too."

"What is it, Lexa?"

"Okay, so umm, I uhh, well you see I-" Lexa stuttered as her voice started to get shaking and her eyes started to get watery.

"Lexa, you're scaring me, what's wrong?"

"Fuck- okay I umm, well I've been keeping a secret from you for eight mon- well honestly no, for ten months. I've been scared of what you might say, or how you might act about it, and I just- I can't lie anymore."

"What, did you get another tattoo or something?"

"No. This secret is much bigger, it's honestly made me feel sick knowing that I had to keep it from you, especially because I use to tell you almost everything. And if this was different circumstances I would have told you ten months ago, but I just couldn't."

"Please hurry up, you're scaring me."

"God, I just- fuck," Lexa sighed out as her head fell into her hands, "I don't understand how people do this. I- I feel like I'm gonna die from a fucking panic attack."

"Lexa please, don't curse," Anya said.

"It's okay, take your time," Clarke said as she started to rub Lexa's back.

"I'm sorry Mum, it's just I'm so nervous."

"Don't be, I'm sure whatever it is, everything will be okay."

"I wish, I really wish, but I don't think so."

"Well, tell me what it is and then we'll go from there, okay?"

"I umm, well you see I uhh, I umm, I like umm, girls."

"No, you don't."

"Y- yes, I- I do."

"No, you don't, it's just a phase."

"No, it's not. It wasn't in seventh grade and it isn't now, five years later."

"It's because of the people your hanging out with, they're pressuring you into this."

"What? N- no that's not it at all."

"Then how come you've only just said something about it, after being friends with a bunch of gay people? And how come you've only dated boys?

"Did you forget about how you acted about Costia? You made me feel like there was something wrong with me, that I was this disgusting monster forever thinking about possibly having a relationship with a girl, I mean you literally told me that it's a repulsive thing to think about and that I was going to hell if I ever thought like that again," Lexa said as tears started to run down her face. "I- I pretended to be happy with the boys I dated, I pretended to like them, I forced myself to like them, I forced myself to think that was love. And the reason I was never upset when we broke up, was because I was the one breaking up with them because I didn't think it was right for them to be with someone who didn't love them the way they should have."

"What, and now you have a girlfriend and know what love is?" Anya asked sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.

"Actually, yeah. That's exactly what happened."

"WHAT? Who?"

Lexa looked at Clarke confused. She couldn't believe how clueless her mother was. How did she not realize she was dating Clarke when Clarke was rubbing her back and starting to wipe some of the tears away on Lexa's cheeks. And if it was any other circumstances she knew Clarke would say something about how she obviously gets her cluelessness from her mom.

"Tell me who now!"

"I umm, okay, remember when I got shot?"

"Of course, but what does this have to do with what we're talking about?" Anya asked confused.

"Do you remember why?"

"Because you tried saving Clarke's life," Anya said as she glared at the blonde.

"Well, yes, but I mean do you remember why Finn did it?"

"Wasn't he jealous of your friendship?"

"Yeah, that's what we told you. He was actually jealous of our relationship."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, he uhh, he said I was cheating on him, even though we weren't together, because he saw, well he saw us kissing because I liked Clarke. I- I loved Clarke, I love Clarke."

"WHAT?"

"I- I- Clarke and I have been dating for eight months now. I saved her life because I couldn't imagine a world without her, I- I didn't think I'd be able to live without her. She has helped me through so much, more than you could ever imagine. And I- I just needed to tell you this because I couldn't keep it a secret any longer. I- fuck, I love Clarke more than anything in the world," Lexa said as started to cry even more.

"I love you too," Clarke said as she whipped some more tears away, "and I'm so proud of you."

"Clarke, get out of this house right now!" Anya said as she pointed to the door.

"What? No, no I- I need her here."

"Clarke leave!"

"Anya, let Clarke say," Gustus said.

"It-it's fine, I'll go. I'll be right outside Lexa," Clarke said before getting up to leave.

"Leave now!" Anya yelled before looking over at Gustus, "And you, how could you keep this from me? How could you support this? How do you not care?"

"What do you mean how could I support this, how do I not care? She's my daughter, why would I care who she loves. As long as she's happy, as long as she's loved, I could care less if she's gay."

"It's a disgrace," Anya said.

"How is being happy a disgrace? Anya, listen to yourself. You want our daughter, our only daughter to hide herself. To pretend to be someone else just so you can be happy. That's the real disgrace and why don't you get that."

As Anya kept arguing Lexa ran up to her room where she saw Aden sitting on her bed with tears in his eyes.
