Here We Are

by shippershape

This is a collection of moments from after Clarke's "I was being weak" moment in 2x09. Currently includes Lincoln and Octavia trying to convince Bellamy that Clarke really does love him, some missing moments between the two leaders before Bellamy leaves and a Bellarke reunion after he is captured in Mt Weather. Not necessarily consecutive or connected.

2. Chapter 2

It takes almost twenty minutes for Clarke's heartbeat to slow down after Bellamy walks back into the village and she realizes he's alive. It takes days before she lets him out of her sight for a second, they share a tent and people talk but she's never cared less about anything in her life. It takes almost two weeks for her to stop instinctively checking to make sure he's still there every morning when she wakes up. It only takes a few hours for them to get into an argument, but that's to be expected and if she's being honest that's the first time she feels like she can breathe since the day he left for Mount Weather.

If love is weakness then she is in for some broken bones and fatal bruises but that's a price she's willing to pay now. If love is weakness she'll be broken within the year. So be it. She loves him. It takes her exactly 17 days to tell him.
