Chapter2_Jealousy
It had been two days from the night they kissed behind the dropship. They never got a chance to meet in private as Bellamy kept Atom close wherever he went and ordered him around. Octavia had never been this frustrated in her life, not even when she had to crawl under the floor for the hundredth time on a bad day.
She watched him from afar, carrying some bows and arrows, passing them to a few guys. He wasn't even looking her way, he was too busy running after her brother. She sighed knowing they were doing all those things to keep everybody safe and she couldn't really blame Atom for helping out that much.
Clarke got off the dropship and walked to her and finally gave her some good news: "Jasper's feeling better." Octavia smiled from ear to ear and said: "Thank God. And you. I don't know what we would do without you."
Clarke smiled modestly, but then Octavia noticed her eyes focusing on something else behind her back; perhaps someone else. Clarke left after a moment and Octavia turned around, expecting to see Finn around, but the only person she could directly see was her big brother.
She frowned confused but didn't think of it that much. She heard a low groan and turned around only to see Jasper walking up to her. She rushed to him, holding his arm, keeping him steady, and asked: "What are you doing? You should rest more."
Jasper mumbled: "I needed to get out of there. I needed fresh air." Octavia nodded and with her arm wrapped around Jasper, she helped him take a few steps forward until they reached the wooden water container. She poured him some water and handed the bowl to him.
Jasper drank the water in a flash and gave her a weak smile: "Thank you." Before Octavia could predict his next move, Jasper kissed the top of her head and pulled her close. She smiled knowing he was only thankful to her for nursing him while he was unconscious for days.
She got out of his loose embrace and her eyes met Atom's instantly. He was standing, not so far from them, and there was something different in his eyes. Octavia's eyes widened as she thought about what he might have thought about the scene.
Before she could make any move, Atom was walking away, straight to Bellamy. Octavia watched as the two men walked out of her sight and sighed. Jasper's voice made her come back to her senses: "Octavia?"
She looked up at him and gave him a fake smile and said: "I promised Bellamy I'd help him out about something. You just sit here and enjoy the fresh air, okay?" Jasper nodded and watched her walk away from him.

Atom was looking for a rabbit or a deer, basically anything he could catch in the woods but so far nothing was gained. He heard a crack behind him and quickly turned around, only to see Octavia smiling at him innocently.
He sighed with relief and walked to her, grabbing her waist and pulling her close to his own body. Octavia groaned quite loudly and grabbed his neck and brought his lips to hers with force. Two days was a hell of a long time for them without being able to touch each other and the way Atom was pushing her to his body, she knew he was just as frustrated as she was.
After a moment, Octavia pulled away but didn't move her body, she simply rested her head on his chest and listened to his heart beating faster than normal. Atom sighed again, this time with joy so visible, it made Octavia shiver.
She heard him whisper: "God, I've missed you…" Octavia groaned: "I couldn't hold back any longer. I don't care if Bellamy jumps in and sees us now, I just want to be able to hold you, touch you, kiss you…" Atom nodded silently in agreement.
Octavia pulled herself away for a moment and asked: "Were you mad when you saw Jasper kiss me?" Atom tensed up for a moment before he answered simply: "Yes." Octavia explained: "But he's just a friend, you know that."
Atom nodded: "That's why I'm not mad anymore. I was jealous for a moment and then I got over it. I know you're not gonna run off to someone else…" He finished his sentence with a smirk that made Octavia raise her eyebrows.
"Oh really? So you think I can't make you jealous?" She asked mischievously and Atom answered with another smirk: "Not even if you tried…" Octavia roared all of a sudden: "Well, challenge accepted. I will make you jealous."
She emphasized her words so much, that when she turned to walk away Atom knew she was going to do something so he grabbed her arm and pulled her once more close to his body. Octavia tried to struggle but his grasp was way too firm.
He looked her deep in the eyes and whispered: "I can't, Octavia. I can't picture anyone else gazing at you, touching you, taking your hand. I go crazy thinking about someone else kissing you." He paused before adding: "You're mine…"
Octavia was speechless but she managed to get the words out: "Say it again…" Atom whispered firmly: "You are mine, Octavia Blake." She kissed him with all the force she still had in her and Atom groaned in her mouth happily.
They pulled away the moment they heard somebody shout: "UNBELIEVABLE!" Octavia looked around but saw no one. Atom pushed her towards some bushes and they both hid behind them to see what was going on.
They watched in silence as a figure emerged from the trees, Clarke, followed by no one else than Bellamy. They both looked pretty pissed and Clarke was walking away from him apparently. Bellamy reached her and tried to grab her hand but she yanked it away.
He shouted: "So this is it, princess? I say one thing wrong and you run back to spacewalker?" Clarke stopped dead in her tracks and turned around with a deadly glare. Bellamy was looking directly at her with his raised eyebrows.
Clarke started with a hiss: "I can't believe you are bringing up Finn. He is a good guy and maybe I should run to him instead of you. You arrogant bastard! You only think about yourself and you don't care if anybody else gets hurt in the middle of everything. You disgust me, Bellamy, you know that? You are nothing but a cowa…"
She was cut off then, by Bellamy's lips.
Octavia watched in pure shock as her brother grabbed her arm and pulled her close enough to crash his lips on hers. From the way Atom and Octavia could see it, Bellamy was enjoying himself but they couldn't see Clarke's reaction.
In a moment, Clarke's hands snaked around his neck and she pulled him close with a quite audible moan. Octavia gasped quietly but Atom covered her mouth with his hand before they could be exposed.
Clarke finally pulled away, pushing Bellamy away, but he only took a step back with a wide smirk on his face. Clarke muttered angrily: "I can't believe you kissed me again…"
Again? Atom and Octavia exchanged looks but then shifted their focus back to the couple not so far away from them.
Bellamy smirked again: "It's the only way I know to shut you up." Clarke was silent for a second and then she gathered her strength and pushed him harder than before. Bellamy tripped and fell on the ground with shock written all over his face.
As Clarke walked away, he shouted after her: "Don't tell me you didn't like it. I know you did, princess." Clarke kept walking and after a couple of minutes Bellamy got up with a little smile on the corner of his mouth and walked off in the opposite direction.
The moment they knew they were alone, Atom and Octavia got up. Atom muttered: "No offense, but your brother's acting like a douchebag." Octavia gave him a confused look and offered: "But I know him. I think he's really into her."
Atom raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything else for a couple of moments. Octavia said: "I think I should head back and you should keep hunting. I'm hungry!" Atom smiled at her and kissed her one more time before she walked away.

Octavia was looking around for Clarke but she wasn't in sight. She asked around but no one had seen her since the morning. Octavia was just about to lose hope that she heard soft sobs coming from behind the trees.
She walked closer and the flash of her golden hair caught her eyes. She hesitated to move closer to her as she heard her cry. She finally decided to join her and sat right next to her on the ground. Clarke jumped up but when she saw it was Octavia she relaxed.
Octavia put an arm around her and asked gently: "Hey, what's wrong?" She knew the answer but she wanted Clarke to talk to her. She shrugged and said: "Nothing. I was just…" She didn't finish her sentence as she wiped the tears from her face.
Octavia whispered: "I'm sorry." Clarke asked confused: "About what?" She answered calmly: "I saw what happened between you and Bellamy." Clarke gasped and tried to move away from Octavia but she put a firm grip around her arm.
Clarke tried to say something but nothing came out of her mouth. Octavia tried: "Bellamy can be an asshole sometimes, take it from me, but…"
Octavia didn't continue and it made Clarke ask: "But what?" Octavia sighed: "I know my brother. Whenever he's this much of a jerk, he's dealing with someone he has feelings for. He doesn't know how to show them in a normal manner."
Clarke closed her eyes and said: "I'm so pathetic. I don't know what came over me. I shouldn't act like this…" Octavia reassured her: "You are not pathetic, Clarke. At least you are brave enough to show your true feelings, even if it is to yourself."
Clarke didn't say anything but Octavia tried to lighten the mood: "But seriously, what do you see in my brother?!" Clarke broke into a laugh and said: "I don't know. I think he put a spell on me or something."
Octavia offered: "As I said, he is my brother and I know him. I know a way to get him to man up, and act like a gentleman he is really not!" Clarke asked: "What are you talking about?" Octavia explained her plan for Clarke, waiting for her to disagree at every second, but she didn't.
After she was done, Clarke smiled and said: "Are you sure this will work?" Octavia smirked: "Trust me on this. After tonight, Bellamy would fall to your knees." Clarke giggled like a little girl and thought how stupid she looked in that moment but she really didn't care.

Octavia watched as Bellamy was eyeing the camp, looking for someone but he lost hope eventually. Clarke was still hiding in the woods and she wasn't supposed to come out until dinner time. Octavia spotted Atom bringing a large deer in the camp with the help of another guy.
He noticed her and gave her a small smile and she returned the smile with a careful wink. The guys put the deer down and started skinning the poor thing. Octavia couldn't watch the process and went to check on Jasper.
He was sitting by himself in the dropship, even Monty wasn't around. Octavia asked: "Hey, why are all alone? Where's Monty?" Jasper shrugged: "I don't know. I woke up and saw that the place was empty."
Octavia sat next to him and asked: "Do you want me to help you walk out? There's a deer outside getting ready to be eaten." Jasper smiled but his face turned serious all of a sudden and asked: "Why did you do it? Why did you take care of me for so long?"
Octavia frowned and said: "What kind of a question is that? You're my friend. I care about you. Why are…" But before she could finish her sentence, Jasper kissed her.
Her mind couldn't process what had just happened. Jasper had kissed her. She was too shocked to do anything until she heard his familiar voice echoing through her ears: "Octav…"
Jasper pulled away quickly and Octavia realized Atom was standing on the ladder, looking at them. Her mouth opened up but nothing came out. Jasper was looking at Atom angrily, not knowing why he had bothered them.
Atom's expression was unreadable, his face was emotionless, and it scared the hell out of Octavia. She whispered: "Atom…" Atom calmly said: "Your brother is looking for you." With that, he took his eyes off her and walked down the ladder, leaving them alone.
Octavia got up suddenly but Jasper grabbed her hand saying: "Don't go." Octavia pulled away her hand like his had just burned her and rushed to get out of the dropship. She looked around nervously but he was nowhere in sight.
She clenched her fists angrily and started walking to Bellamy who smiled when he saw her. Octavia asked: "You wanted to see me?" Bellamy nodded: "It's getting dark and the deer is getting roasted. You need to eat, little girl."
Octavia looked around one more time and she failed to spot him. Bellamy asked: "What's wrong, O?" Octavia remembered something and took Bellamy's hand and made her way into an empty tent. Bellamy asked worried: "O, what is going on?"
Octavia asked calmly: "What's going on with you and Clarke?" Bellamy's eyes widened and he didn't respond for a moment but then he said: "Nothing. What are you talking about?" Octavia frowned and said: "Please, I see the way you two look at each other."
Bellamy raised his voice: "You are out of your mind." Octavia said: "I can feel she likes you, you idiot." Bellamy's eyes softened for a moment but his voice was hard: "I don't have time for this."
He went to leave that Octavia added: "I saw you kissing her in the woods." Bellamy turned around with his eyes on fire: "Octavia, that's enough." She got closer to him and pointed at somewhere behind his back.
He turned around only to see Clarke sitting next to Finn, too close to him, a sad look in her eyes and his blood boiled. Octavia whispered: "You can keep acting like the world's biggest jerk and she's gonna get closer and closer to Finn. Is that what you want?"
Bellamy said with a sudden calm voice: "Stay out of this, Octavia." Octavia knew her job was done so she walked out of the tent and went near the fire, sitting on the other side of Clarke.
Bellamy watched as Finn's hand got closer to Clarke's. He closed his eyes in frustration. He didn't know what to do. He wanted Clarke, he had wanted her since the moment he had laid eyes on her but he wasn't on Earth for romance. Maybe he should've just ignored her and let her have her happy ending with spacewalker.
He opened his eyes and saw that Clarke was looking right at him, her eyes hard and soft at the same time, and after she took her eyes off him and looked at Finn, Bellamy was sure he couldn't ignore her anymore.
