Lol. Seriously what does a lesbian ship need to DO to be considered an actual honest to God couple?
Heart eyes and dramatic tension for days: check
Kissing before the final battle: check
Asking her to move back to the capital with you: check
Betraying her but walking away with tears in your eyes after saying “I did this with my head not my heart”: check
Spend the entire next season trying to get her to forgive you: check
Saying it’s all about your people but when it looks like she might die, tell her it’s not just about your people: check
Try to assassinate a queen so that she stays alive: check
Kneel and swear fealty to her, even though you’re the badass commander who kneels to no one: check
Wear glitter and walk into her room in a super sexy nightgown after risking your life in a fight to the death: check
Let her go, but watching every step she takes as she walks away: check
Smile and flirt outrageously while arguing who brings peace and justice to their people more: check
Convince her that she needs to change 97 years of tradition so that your people are not slaughtered: check
Change 97 years of tradition because you truly believe in her vision of peace: check
Challenge her to actually stand by that vision even when it’s her people that have been hurt: check
Let her go because her people need her, even though you wish she could stay: check
Kiss her - finally - and never let her go: check.
Even when you lay dying, tell her not to be afraid: check
Tell her that she is the reason life is more than just surviving: check
Kiss her and feel her take her final breath against your lips: check
Her kiss is the last thing you ever feel: check
You protect an inanimate object with your life because it’s all that you have left of her: check.

Clarke and Lexa were in love. Real, romantic, “I will move oceans for you” kinda love. NOT the gal-pal kinda love.
Don’t let people get away with saying that’s all they were to each other.
