morning's risin'
all the world has gone to bed
Getting used to initiating physical contact or affection was so strange for Clarke but admittedly, it was a good kind of strange. It felt a lot more natural to her than what she had been doing for the past twenty odd years of holding back. And to have it returned pretty much tenfold without hesitation was almost cleansing for the redhead.
She had sent a text to Natalie about movie night early that morning to make sure the brunette was available and thankfully she was so Clarke had brought along an overnight bag in case she got too tired to leave. Lately, it didn't cause her anxiety to do so but she still did wonder if she was being presumptuous sometimes. Especially because Natalie was dating someone.
Incidentally, so was Clarke but it hadn't crossed the serious territory. Natalie might have, Clarke still wasn't entirely sure.
Either way, she could already hear the scratches on the other side of the door as she knocked before entering. "Hey Nat! It's Clarke!" She greeted her friend before closing the door and paying her attention to the dogs whose tails pretty much moved their entire back half of their bodies in excitement.

Having someone over for the evening was starting to become a regular occurrence these days; evenings without the lawyer were more of a rarity than anything else. So when Clarke messaged her on an evening she didn't actually have plans, she happily accepted the idea of a movie night. And as usual, it involved making dinner as well, because the trainer couldn't pass up an opportunity to cook for someone who ate out as much as she knew Clarke did. She couldn't blame the busy woman though, so instead she just prepared a meal.
As usual, it was coming together in time for there to be a knock at the door. The two dogs were excited for the company as usual, and even they were surprised to know that it wasn't the person who had been frequenting their home. Tails were wagging as they waited excitedly for the door to open, only then moving to greet her.
"Hey!" Natalie called out from over her shoulder, corking a bottle of red before reaching for a beer and cracking it open. Clarke was the only reason she ever had it in her home. Turning, she stepped closer, extending out the beverage and wrapping an arm around the DJ to pull her in for a short hug. "I'm so glad you thought to do this tonight."

morning's risin'

Clarke accepted the can and hug with a wide smile. "I realised that we haven't actually done anything together for like...a month. I've been getting too tired lately to do anything so I'm glad you were available today."
She went over to the kitchen and looked over her shoulder at Natalie.
"What's cooking?" She asked, curiously looking at the stove as she sipped her beer.

The beer was taken, and Natalie was already moving back towards her gas stove. A large cast iron carried contents of a colorful meal. Rice, brightened with tomatoes, green herbs, and colorful peppers. "It's like a tomato rice with tofu," Natalie replied, mixing up the ingredients one last time before turning off the heat. Her shoulders shrugged without a proper name to call it.
Taking a sip of her wine, she raised her eyebrows at the DJ before grabbing a couple of bowls. "Should be good." She laughed, hoping that it turned out alright. "So work's been running you to the bone?"

Natalie's description of the food had Clarke smiling. She actually liked tofu so it was definitely a treat. And Natalie's proven to be an exceptional cook so really, whatever she made, Clarke would eat happily.
She hummed her approval and took the bowls for Natalie so she could scoop them out.
"Oh no, not really. But I do think the timing is a little off for my sad, old body." She joked with a little laughter peppered in. "Staying up late and leading a life in the day is taking it's toll." She admitted with a shrug.
They made their way to the couch and as always, the animals took their place around them. "Is The Quiet Place out yet?" She asked, having heard rave reviews about the movie everywhere.

With the bowls taken from her hands, Natalie made quick work to scoop the finished meal into them. "Thank you," she smiled, putting down the large utensil before taking one of the bowls for herself, free hand reaching for two forks and holding one out for the redhead. "Hmm, I think that just came out in theaters?" She recalled hearing about it in passing, but wasn't entirely sure.
Her free hand returned to her glass of wine, bringing it to her mouth to take a slow sip. "If you're interested, we could go out to see it after dinner. I could look up the movie times."
