Chapter Text
She honestly couldn’t think of anything if she tried. Casually looking over at the forest beside them Raven had an idea.
“Never have I ever…had sex in a tree.”
Groans sounded from 3 of her friends and Raven smirked. Naturally, with her leg being in the predicament that it was in, she couldn’t imagine Wick having a fun time supporting both of their weight in a tree branch…no matter how much she may fantasize about it.
She casually bit her lip imagining what it would be like to have her sweaty back pressed against the harsh bark as Wick’s muscles strained to-
“Earth to Raven! Geez girl snap out of if.” Octavia had to snap her fingers in front of the other girls face a few times to bring her back to reality. A playful glint in her eye. She knew it was a mistake when she drunkenly confessed to Octavia that she’d always wanted to fuck against a tree.
“Shut up and take your shot.” Raven glared back, annoyed to be distracted from her day...well night dream…
Octavia wasted no time downing her drink causing Bellamy to balk.
“That’s way more information than I needed to know O.”
The girl turned grounder merely shrugged and smirked at her brother’s slowly paling face.
“Hey don’t blame me, blame Reyes over there.”
The commotion the Blake siblings made had drawn almost all of their friend’s attention towards them…almost. Along with Octavia, Jasper and Harper also took one shot glass and downed it quickly. Virtually no one had their eyes on a certain blonde haired leader. In fact, even without Bellamy’s outburst and Octavia’s reply, unless you were looking directly at her you might have missed the subtle movement of her hand towards the table, and the smallest flick of her wrist as she downed her own shot. Unfortunately for Clarke, Miller happened to glance in her direction right when she was putting her now empty shot glass back onto the sanded tree branch they were currently using as a table.
He whistled low and looked in her direction, attracting all of her friends away from the Blake siblings’ discussion.
“Never pegged you for a wild exhibitionist type Clarke.” He said it jokingly though, a grin on his mouth and surprise in his eyes.
At this everyone stared in shock at their fearless leader who was currently staring anywhere but at their faces with a sheepish smile on her face.
“What...It only happened like…uh…” She trailed off an uncertain look in her eye…was she mentally counting the number of times she and a certain…person had done it in the expanse of the forest away from prying eyes…?
“Clarke!? Seriously? Not only are you getting some, you got it in a mothafucking tree!? You don’t even remember how many times you did it, do you!?...Can you even CLIMB a tree!? …Nope I’m – I can’t. What world are we living in? My brain does not compute.”
Clarke reached over and socked Octavia in her shoulder. Honestly the girl could be so over dramatic.
“So whose turn is it?” She asked as she reclaimed her seat between Monty and Harper.
“Not so fast there Princess. We need details.” Raven mischievous look sent chills up Clarke’s spine, and not in a good way.
“Yea Princess spill.” All Clarke could think was Et tu Bellamy and shook her head.
Seriously there was more important stuff going on than her love life...At least she thought there was
“Last time I checked the game didn’t include anything about details into what or who we have or haven’t done.” She said, staring pointedly at everyone, quickly causing them all to blush. But she still caught Raven, Jasper, Miller and Octavia exchanging glances and knew she wasn’t getting off that easy.
“Ok well since it’s my turn.” Miller said, scrunching his eyebrows in concentration.
“Never have I ever…had sex with a grounder.” A few more groans were heard as both Blake siblings, Jasper, Harper and Raven downed their shots.
“At this rate I’m gonna be drunk in no time.” Octavia mumble under her breathe.
Everyone however still subtly had their eyes on Clarke looking for her reaction. Although they could already guess from the fact that she did it in a tree that a member of the Tree clan may have been responsible.
She reached over to the table with exaggerated slowness and downed another shot. She stared pointedly at them, almost daring them to ask her anymore questions.
Next it was Monty’s turn.
“Ok uh…never have I ever sparred with a grounder.” Despite Monty trying to give Clarke a break, he was surprised to see her down yet another of his homemade shots.
“Yup definitely getting there.” He heard Octavia whined as she too downed another shot along with Bellamy and Miller.
Finally her turn Clarke took a moment to think before saying “Never have I ever been a brunette.”
At that almost everyone glared at her. “Is that even fair?” Raven asked as she reached for her drink anyway. Everyone but Monroe and Harper had a shot. Clarke figured if she was gonna get drunk with her friends ganging up on her the least she could do was pay them back.
--
The whole gang was well into their little game. Their words were slurred and one of them, namely Monroe had fallen off the logs they used as chairs more often than she could count and resigned herself to staying on the ground.
During the whole fiasco Raven and Octavia…although mainly Raven because she was way less wasted, were focused on their mission to find out who Clarke’s secret squeeze was. So far all they knew from the game was that this guy was ripped, a brunette and had a lot of hair. Not that the brunette part helped much, but the muscly part led them to believe the guy had to be a warrior and he definitely wasn’t bald.
Also he had tattoos, but once again, like the brunette clue, not much help.
Next Harper spent a good 5 minutes and couldn’t come up with anything so she just said the first thing that popped in her head…
” Uh never have I ever…spent a whole day having sex. Not to say I don’t want to it sounds amazing. Hell it's like everyone's secret fantasy. I just…never have.” she shrugged noncommittally
So far no one had moved to take a shot. Right when Miller was about to take his turn all eyes turned as Clarke’s face heated up in a blush while she quickly reached down and took her shot.
Octavia and Raven’s eyes popped wide open and their jaws went slack. At first they were thinking well maybe the tree was a one-time thing you know. Like maybe the girl needed to release some stress…with a grounder and there were no private tents nearby. But to hear Clarke, their Clarke. The girl that lead them all to freedom and was always busy doing some leader-y thing or the other that she could barely afford to relax. THE Sky Princess had in fact spent a whole day fucking some guy while all of them were blissfully unaware was news to them. Could it be that Clarke Griffin had actually fallen for someone?
It was Miller’s turn next so he said the one thing everyone was really curious about concerning Clarke and her guy friend/ fuck buddy.
“Never have I ever…fallen in love…with a grounder.” He had to add on that last part because honestly he wasn’t sure whether she loved Finn or not.
Octavia and Bellamy both took their shots. Despite her inebriated state she made a pointed look at her brother saying they’d talk later and then both looked over to Clarke who seemed to be lost in thought. After another few seconds a soft smile appeared on her face and she downed yet another shot.
At this, those of her friends that were still fully functioning smiled along with her. Despite all the err…embarrassing things they’d learnt about her and each other, they were glad that she seemed truly happy. If anyone deserved it, it was Clarke.
Finally it was Octavia’s turn again and she sighed, honestly if Clarke wanted to keep this guy a secret she would let her…for now. She deserved a bit a privacy and she knew the Sky leader would tell her friends of this new love of hers in her own time...Ah who was she kidding, she'd be snooping for this secret lover as soon as her hangover passed.
It was the last round and they were almost out of drink anyway so she was gonna have some fun. Smirking she thought to repay her brother for getting her with a ‘Never have I ever been Indra’s Second’ jab. Unfortunately all the guys would most likely take a hit for this one but hey she doubted they could get much drunker anyway
“Never have I ever…made out with a girl.” She wiggled her eyebrows at her brother.
“Fuck you O” his voice slurring his words together before he drank another shot
“Love you too bro!” she stuck her tongue out in amusement
Everyone was too busy looking at the guys that no one saw the imperceptible blush creeping up Clarke’s neck. Or the way her eyes slightly raised at Octavia’s question
‘Shit!’ she thought ‘There’s no way Octavia’s figured it out. No she’s just really really drunk and thought of something random that would get her brother to drink. That has to be it.’
Clarke calmed and looked towards the final shot glass on the table contemplating if she should follow the rules of the game or just this once lie to her friends. She was hesitant thought because her drunken mind kept reiterating the sacredness of the table of never have I ever-ness despite this being the first time they’ve played it.
Thankfully she was saved when Monroe reached up from the floor and took the last drink mumbling something about how the grounders’ liquor was a lot stronger than she bargained for.
Clarke smiled softly at her friends, glad that they could enjoy this night together as a family.
