Most of the time when they were around each other it ended in a screaming match. Bellamy was either being too bullheaded or Clarke was trying to be a know it all. Either way, one would get mad at the other and then everyone in the camp knew to watch out. This, Jasper noted, was no exception.
"We can't just starve, Clarke! Do you expect food to just drop out of the air before us?" Bellamy bellowed at Clarke in the small headquarters they had set up in the dropship.
"No, Bellamy, I don't expect that. I expect us to come up with an actual plan instead of sending a bunch of trigger happy kids into grounder infested territory." she rebutted, not missing a breath.
The back and forth continued for a while longer. Eventually, their miniature council realized that no agreement would be met tonight and they dispersed. Leaving an irritated Clarke and Bellamy behind.
On one hand, Jasper felt bad for the pressure he knew his friends were under. Could he call them his friends? Clarke he was confident in but Bellamy shifted from day to day so he wasn't sure. Either way, he knew their group wasn't an easy one to take care of and the only way Clarke and Bellamy would ever reach some sort of agreement was if some of their stress was removed. Otherwise, things would continue the same way they had been and their little camp would be in for a long winter.
On his way back to his tent he ran into Jasper and after a few quick words and was on his way to the fence. Jasper knew that they needed a council without their leader fighting over them in order to get any ideas. After the ideas were made into possible realities they would take them to Clarke and Bellamy. At least, that was the plan
Before long, Jasper was standing in front of the best the 100 had. Monty, Octavia, Raven, Finn, and Miller were all gathered around looking at him with questioning eyes.
"Hey… Uh.. Welcome to team 'Let's not die'. Our goal is going to be not to die and to not get killed by Bellamy and Clarke's nonstop fighting."
Jasper realized the way Finn tensed when Clarke and Bellamy's names were mentioned together as well as how Raven was totally giving him a dirty look because of it. He was more observant than they gave him credit for, that was for sure.
"Now," he stated," on to the first matter of business. We are all aware that winter is on its way. And, because of the wonderful education given to us by our elders on the ark, " this earned a few snickers that he could be proud of, "we know that that means colder weather and less food. What I am proposing to you, here today-night, is that we come up with an idea of how to get food and take it to Bellamy and Clarke after we're sure it works.:
"Sounds good to me man, otherwise they might kill each other and we'll be left without leaders," Monty nodded.
"Or bang each other," Raven said with a smirk that dared Finn to react.
He did.
"That would never happen. Clarke is way too good for-"
"Hey now, watch what you say. You realize that's my brother you're talking about," Octavia said warningly.
Jasper might not know much about women but he knew when they didn't like him. And Finn seemed to be widely disliked at the moment.
Before things could get more intense he decided to end the night's meeting.
"On that note, let's meet back here with our ideas tomorrow night. Sound good?"
After nods from the group, they all headed their separate ways to get some much needed sleep.
