“You draw me as much more beautiful than I truly am,” Lexa comments and Clarke feels almost offended.

“I draw what I see,” Clarke defends and Lexa just shakes her head.

“Perhaps you should get your eyes checked,” she softly replies, her focus returning to the road. Her cheeks are flushed and Clarke’s state is intense. It hits her, perhaps not for the first time, that Lexa doesn’t see herself. At least not the right way.

“You’re a work of art all on your own,” Clarke says softly, under her breath, like she doesn’t want Lexa to hear it. She does and the tips of her ears go red.

“If you don’t stop, I’m going to crash this car, Clarke,” Lexa replies, her voice melodic and soft. Her hands are shaking on the wheel and it’s probably stupid, it could definitely get them killed, but Clarke reaches over the emergency brake and grabs one of Lexa’s shaking hands. Her grip loosens and it allows Clarke to pull her hand down and intertwine their fingers.
