#thet tried a few times in the beginning to be just be lowkey but it caused more anxiety than anything

Omg that starlet sloooow burn. I love it so so much. I have more of a logistical question- 2 houses yet they’re together. How do they choose which one to sleep at that night? Is there a set schedule like MWF? is there a favorite house? Do they have 2 of everything? i live in LA (I’m so cal anon btw) and the paparazzi photos you see of celebs eating at a restaurant, etc. they’re mostly taken at places where people go to be seen. You go to a quieter town over from Beverly Hills, los feliz, etc. it’s much more low key. Less likely that people make a fuss over a celeb if they’re even recognized. So my next Q is, do they go out on dates? Or is it always at home or a private location? No beach time for these two unless they rent a house somewhere?

Ayyyyy so cal anon 😘

So yeah, they basically live at Lexa's because she has an actual house rather than an apartment. It's just easier, more private, less nosy neighbors etc. Clarke's apartment is much less inconspicuously located. In all their years together, Lexa goes there maybe???? a dozen times. And usually only if there's other people invited for some kind of get together. Because no one would notice Clarke taking a private driver out to Lexa's neighborhood, but they absolutely would noticed Lexa coming and going from Clarke's high-end apartment building. So Clarke's place is mostly off limits to Lexa. They really do run that tight of a ship on this.

But Lexa's place is, exactly like you said, outside of that bubble of Hollywood and offers more of a cloak of privacy. And not only that, it definitely becomes their home. Yes, Clarke keeps the apartment and yes, she sleeps there from time to time - generally only when Lexa's away for work or there's an extended conflict of schedules - but overall "Lexa's house" is actually their house. The majority of their lives is spent there, and Clarke's place is a glorified crash pad that doubles as an alibi.

It's also really helpful because, again like you said, being somewhat removed from the spotlight and grind set of LA offers more privacy in their everyday lives. Still, they don't leave things up to chance. If they go out, it's almost always in a group. They may not be the most well-known actresses, but they're still very well known, and even lowkey spots could give them away. They'll grab coffee together every once in awhile or maybe a lunch in a particularly quiet spot, but other than that if they step out it's with 3 or more tagging along. Of course it's even nicer with the simplicity of stepping out with two other closeted industry men, because that's almost the ideal. The getting to actually enjoy being on a date and knowing it looks like a date.

Doesn't matter who any potential observing eyes assume that date actually is.

Vacations however are always taken in groups, and never under their names. Beach visits, island getaways, ski resorts, rented houses that allow them to share their own private room. It's a lot, and often frustrating, but those are just the rules that they set for their relationship. And they stick by them, and never let themselves deviate. But over the years they do surround themselves with people who they trust and who know about them, and give them the protection and space to be happy in private. They give Clarke and Lexa the chance to enjoy being together while being out, without... being out.
