Anonymous said: bellarke au. they're all sitting around a coffee table playing a board game. bell's playing but clarke's not. clarke sits on the couch so bell sits right in front of her. she starts carding her fingers through his hair. he runs his hand up and down her leg just thanking her for being there like that and because he knows it feels nice (she gets goosebumps or something). the game ends. the group decides to watch a movie. clarke goes to the kitchen to get snacks. bell comes up behind her… (1/3)…and whispers will you sit by me. she turns a little and nods. he kisses her cheek super lightly. he goes back to the living room and gets settled and watches until she comes in. when she comes in he can't take his eyes off her. she sits on the couch but not close enough. he makes eye contact and mouths come here. she scoots over, he pulls her in close and cuddles her, her head under his chin, fingers laced, extreme fluffiness. sorry that was specific, you can change it if you want! :) thanks! (2/3)for the au I just sent, I don't imagine that they're together yet but whatever you think works best :) (3/3)

A/N: I absolutely adore this prompt, I don't care its detailed, and I only hope that I can do it justice :) Also let's pretend that 8 people can play life bc that's what I said.

"GAME NIGHT BITCHES!" Octavia shouts from the kitchen of the apartment as she hears the front door open and some of the guys shout their greeting. Their group held a bi-weekly game and/or movie night where everyone gathered at someone's house or apartment to just waste the night away having fun. This night Octavia and Clarke were hosting it at their apartment they've been sharing since their second year of college.

Octavia wandered into the living room to see that her brother, Bellamy, Miller, and Monty had all arrived and were already setting up one of the games on the table from the pile of boxes next to it. Clarke was talking with Raven back in the kitchen as they waited for Jasper, Harper and Wick to arrive to round out their group.

"Really guys, Life? Why are we playing the world's longest game ever?" Octavia snorted as she spotted which game was being set up.

"Well would you rather play Monopoly and have to handle screaming matches between Wick and raven, or others?" Bellamy asked from his spot on the ground as he bent over and set up some of the bridges.

"Good point, well leave some room on the side for snacks and stuff."

"Hey O! Is Lincoln coming tonight?" Miller asked from the love seat.

Octavia just shook her head, "Nope, he was busy tonight so I'm flying solo." She responded before answering the door to let the last of their group in. Once everyone was in the living room and surrounding the coffee table, Bellamy and Miller started passing out cars to various players. Since there were 9 people in attendance tonight, one person had to bow out and watch this round. It normally rotated which couple would bow out when Lincoln was there, so this time Clarke volunteered to just watch and ensure the snacks never run out. She watched from her spot on the couch as the rest of them picked out cars and all of them decide to 'go to college' and then pick out jobs and salaries.

Monty surprisingly got the Doctor career with a salary of 30k, Bellamy got his actual job of Police Officer with a salary of 70k, Miller got Salesperson, Octavia was an Artist, Jasper was the athlete to everyone's amusement, Harper was the other to get her actual career of teacher, Wick was the Computer Consultant while Raven after making a crack about Wick's job pulled the job of Entertainer and to everyone else's disappointment swiped up the 100k salary.

Clarke enjoyed watching the rest of their group go around the board and either cheer or curse at picking up certain squares like kids or taxes. From her place on the couch, she was right behind Bellamy with Wick and Raven to his left, Octavia at the head of the table to her right and the other four on the opposite side of the coffee table. But the person she was most intrigued by was the man with the dark curly mop of hair sitting in front of her. Clarke and Bellamy had been dancing around each other for what felt like months. They both were attracted to one another and occasionally showed a minute affection for the other but yet they refused to believe that the other truly felt anything for the other.

At the moment, Clarke was fascinated by Bellamy's hair and at about half way through the game she was just distracted enough of watching everyone that she didn't realize that her hands had started carding through Bellamy's curls. His hair felt nice running through her fingers and it just felt like such a normal motion for her. Her left hand was holding her drink while her right hand continuously softly ran through Bellamy's curls and would occasionally ran her fingernails over his scalp.

Bellamy leaned back against Clarke's legs and the couch and all but purred softly at the feeling of Clarke's fingers running through his hair. It was her movements that finally gave him the courage to want to seal the deal tonight. Officially ask her out and stop the back and forth game they had been playing. He had to lean back towards the table to spin to get his number and move his car. He heard Clarke grumble slightly in protest as his head went out of her reach from her wandering hands. After his turn, Bellamy leaned back against the couch and started lightly running one of his hands against her legs as she sighed and returned one of her hands to his hair.

"Any advice, Princess?" Bellamy asked after a few minutes of softly running his fingers down her calf, feeling a few goose bumps rise on her leg.

Clarke leaned over and looked at the game closer than what she'd been watching, her hand pausing in its explorations. "Not really. This isn't really much of a strategy game. Hence the name Life, as in life is a game of chance. Besides you've accumulated quite a bit of cash and those little bonus card things. I'm sure you'll be fine. If you wanted help, you should have asked for it sooner than when you were three tiles away from choosing your retirement department." She replied after a few moments, leaning back into the couch and watching the end of the game.

It turned out Bellamy didn't really need that much help in the end. Octavia ended up winning it all with the largest pile of the yellow tiles with Bellamy and Wick tying for second. As per tradition of game night, the winner would put the game away while the person who came farthest behind got to open up the alcohol and pick the movie for the night. So Raven opened up a beer and started perusing the DVD collection while Octavia began picking up all the different tiles and cars and pegs while Clarke picked up the different snack bowls and headed into the kitchen for a refill.

Close behind her though was Bellamy, hoping for a little alone time with the blonde princess. He watched as she opened a big bag of chips, pouring them into the chip bowl and then turning to fill the dessert bowl with marshmallow's, chocolate covered pretzels, m&m's, and mini cookies.

"Bell hey, need something?" Clarke asked as she noticed his presence in the kitchen.

Bellamy shook his head and walked closer to the blonde, "Just hoping that you'd sit by me during the movie is all," he whispers softly by her ear.

Clarke looked up into his eyes, seeing the adoration and hope in his eyes as he put his heart on the line. She smiled softly and nodded her assent before turning back to the snack bowls. Bellamy smiled and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek and then her temple whispering, "See you out there princess" before returning to the living room.

Once all the bowls were refilled, Clarke returned to the living room and placed them on the coffee table. She noticed that Bellamy had taken up residence in the spot she had just been sitting in so she sat down near him. Bellamy had been practically giving her bedroom eyes since she came in but she didn't budge just yet as they waited for the movie to start.

Not shockingly, Raven had picked one of the Iron Man's as the showing of the evening. Raven had an obsession with the suit and all of Tony's gadgets and doo-dads and would watch the movies just so she could comment and possibly steal ideas on stuff to recreate.

As the movie started, Clarke looked over at Bellamy who had his eyebrow raised and then mouthed, 'Come here Princess'. She smirked and slowly began to scoot closer to Bellamy. Apparently she was coming too slowly because Bellamy grabbed hold of her waist and all but pulled her onto him, cuddling her close to him. Her head landed on his shoulder and she was leaning comfortably on his chest after she shifted around a bit.

"That's better" he whispered in her ear as he laced their fingers together and laid his head against hers, feeling her nod against his chest and shoulder.

A little while into the movie, Bellamy lifted his head and put his lips close to Clarke's ear to whisper, "Clarke will you go out with me on Saturday?"

Clarke lifted her head from her place on his chest to smile and nod her answer, before pressing a soft, chaste kiss to his lips and returning to her spot, her home, on Bellamy's chest in Bellamy's arms.
