Chapter Text
Lexa was cold. Very cold. Too cold. The brunette opens her eyes groggily, patting the bed around her and coming up with only cold sheets. That wasn't right, there should be two bed warmers there, not emptiness. She further wakes up at this discovery, yawning and stretching only to flinch and curl back up into the warm blankets. It's cold!
With a grumble, Lexa rolls herself up in the blankets and buries her face into her pillow, letting the new slightly cold parts warm up before she moves again. About two minutes pass and she's starts wiggling her way off the bed, yawning once again and looking around bleary eyed. Ok so no sign or Clarke or Costia here... but she did spot her sweats, hoodie, and scarf. Those looked very inviting.
Getting up, Lexa sleepily shuffles to her items on her dresser. She frowns, not sure how to grab her stuff without leaving the warmth of her blanket burrito. Why was it so cold? Well she couldn't find out the answer if she couldn't move. So with a resigned sigh, Lexa shucks her blankets and quickly snatches her sweats, growing them on, then dawning her black masseffect hoodie over her sleep shirt. She shivers, pausing briefly then picks up her Ravenclaw scar and quickly wraps it around herself, sticking the bottom half of her face into it. Shoving her hands into her hoodie pockets, she looks on the floor until she finds one of her slippers, then has to shuffle a bit to find the other. Ok that was better. And the slight cold had woken her up more.
Lexa yawns behind her scarf again, one hand reaching up to ruffled her bed head lazily then try to bring some sort of order to it. She walks to the bedroom window, wondering if it's open and that's why it's cold. Nope, closed tight. She shuffles away from it, opening the blinds to let the sunlight in, maybe that will help warm up the room.
Sleepy Lexa makes her way into the hallway, glancing in the bathroom door. Still no girlfriends, and it was colder out here than it was in the bedroom! She shivers again, a frown now stuck in place as she checks the bathroom window but that was also closed. She makes her way to the living room, stoping by the office/game room to check that window and grab her gray slouchy beanie. Sticking that on, she makes her way to the living room and stops.
The front door is wide open.... the front door to her apartment was open wide... the-
And suddenly Clarke and Costia stumble into the townhouse, both covered in snow and laughing as she dropped some bags into an already formed pile of bags in the kitchen. Without even looking up, the two turn around and go back outside... leaving the door... open!
Lexa frowns harder and notices the small bit of snow growing by the door. This was ridiculous... and it was fucking cold!
She walks over to the door and closes it, sneezing and growling a bit. Oh she was going to have words for her girlfriends but right now, it was really cold and all Lexa wanted was warmth. So she walks over to the thermostat and turns it up, then shuffles into the kitchen, grabbing a pot and the milk out of the fridge. She starts the stove and pours the milk, then letting that sit she turns on the oven. She starts getting things out to make cookies.. but she has no intention of making them. She stays by the stove, holding her hands over it as she waits for her careless girlfriends to come back. And it takes them awhile, almost ten minutes. No wonder the apartment was so cold! By then Lexa is done making the hot chocolate, holding a steaming mug of it in her hands and sighing happily at the warmth, briefly wiping the frown away.
Costia and Clarke struggle with the door, Lexa can hear it, but she's not going to open it for them. They let their home get cold, it's only fair they stay in the cold a little longer. Clarke manages to get the door open and the two stumble in, putting the bags down and rubbing their hands together.
"Lex? Did you close the door?"
"Yes."
"Oh... ok!" Costia smile and starts to walk over but Lexa holds up a hand.
"You guys left the door open."
"Ummmm... yeah..." Clarke glances at Costia, confused, then at Lexa. "We bought a lot and it was a struggle balancing them and opening the door..."
"You guys left the door open... in the middle of winter. When it's snowing."
"It's only snowing a little..." Costia looks at Clarke nervously. Lexa was using that 'I am not pleased and you two are in big trouble' voice.
"You guys left the door open, and the apartment got cold." Lexa lifts her face out of her scarf and huffs at her girlfriends.
"Oh... oh shit we didn't think about that..." Clarke blushes and looks back at the door, closing it quickly and noticing the snow collected by there.
Costia face palms because honestly they probably should have thought of that... but she didn't think it would take them that long to unload. "We didn't think it would take that long to unload... crap sorry babe."
Lexa huffs again but she isn't mad anymore. She was still cold though. "You guys can make it up to me by making cookies and just please don't do that again... it's already cold enough when you guys aren't in bed with me but I swear I could see my breath when I woke up."
"Promise!" Clarke smiles, still a bit sheepish but she knew they were mostly off the hook now. "And I'll make some more hot chocolate to go with the cookies..."
"I'll make some soup... it's cold." Costia smiles playfully at Lexa, who looks at her unamused at first but then her lips quirk up.
"You're such a brat... make some tortilla soup please," Lexa walks forward to first kiss Costia, then Clarke, the two sapping some of her warmth away but that was ok. Lexa went to make herself comfortable in the living room, sitting right under the heater vent while her two lovers set to making amends for leaving Lexa in the cold.
