A rap at the door drew Bellamy's attention. Careful not to wake Clarke, he climbed over her and padded to the door. Opening it, he saw Octavia standing there "you want to take a walk?" she asked. Bellamy nodded "let me get a shirt and some shoes on" he whispered. Octavia looked inside. Clarke was sprawled in the bed, sound asleep "Damn Bell," she snorted "did you let her get any sleep last night?" He scowled at her, his shirt hanging open on his chest. Bending down he placed a soft kiss on Clarke's cheek "Where are you going?" she mumbled sleepily. "Taking a walk with O, go back to sleep" he answered. "Okay" she agreed. He smiled as she turned over and went back to sleep. "Do I ask you about your sex life?" he scowled at her. "Would that I had one" she arched her eyebrows at him "not only would you ask, you would be all up in it" she returned his scowl. Bellamy looked sheepish, she may have a point. "Why am I the one surrounded by sassy women?" he sighed. "Because you were raised by one" she told him. He grinned "I missed you O" he said kissing the top of her head. "I missed you too" she sighed leaning into him. "Here sit down" she said pointing to bench in the hall "I have something for you. Reaching around her neck, she unlatched the necklace she wore around her neck.
A gold band with a bright blue stone was dangling on it. Bellamy took a deep breath; he would recognize that ring anywhere. "No O" he said "that's yours, mom gave it to you" he held up his hand. Octavia smiled "It was never mine Bell" she smiled at him. "You know mom and I used to talk when you were on guard duty. She thought guard duty was good for you. It kept you hard enough to withstand whatever life threw at you, but soft enough to remember to take care of those around you who weren't so fortunate" Octavia told him. "And she was right. You had to be hard, but you always used your position to help others when you could" she spoke softly. "She also said someday you'll find a girl who will get so far under your skin, you won't be able to outgrow her, and when you did to give this to you." she said re-closing the clasp and dropping it into his hand. The chain pooled into a puddle with the ring sitting on top. "I think you've found that girl Bell" she folded his fingers over the ring. "I can't O" he whispered "this should be yours" he looked at her. She shook her head "This is the legacy of our family. You and Clarke will be the ones to further that legacy" she smiled up at him. "One day, I'm going to find another guy, the love of my life, and he won't go away or get killed because it was meant to be. That will be my legacy, until then, I might try to have a little fun" She said sassily. "I mean what else is there to do now that world had ended and we are stuck on the god forsaken ship for another hundred years" she scoffed. "I'm going to be keeping an eye on you" he growled. She laughed "I wouldn't expect anything less." Bellamy looked at his little sister "when do you become such a grown up?" he asked. "One of us had to" she snorted. Bellamy laughed "Thank you O" he said pulling her into a hug "Clarke will love it, when I figure out how to give it to her." He said. "You will" she assured him "you knew more about what she needed before she even knew she needed it."
Raven woke up feeling more rested than she had in a long time. Maybe there was some merit to sleeping in her own bed. Now, if only a certain king would stay out of her dreams. She needed to talk to Clarke, but she didn't want to wake her up. Hopefully, she was already awake. Hey, you up? She opened the door. Clarke groaned "I am now" she sat up pulling the sheet around her. Raven stepped inside, throwing Clarke one of Bellamy's shirts. "Did you actually sleep in your room? She asked. Raven nodded "It was a good idea, remind me to thank Bellamy, someday.." she snickered. "And did you actually sleep?" Clarke asked her. "Yeah, though I would have slept better had people stayed out of my dreams." Clarke grinned "people or person?" she asked. Raven sighed "come, sit" Clarke grinned "tell me all about it." Raven scowled at her "Was I this obnoxious when you and Bellamy started seeing each other. Clarke laughed "oh so very much worse.." she rolled her eyes. "Be nice to me, I'm fragile" Raven pleaded. Clarke snorted "whatever." Raven sighed "he kissed me" she said "last night." Clarke squealed "where?" she asked. "My room, apparently Bellamy told Octavia to make sure I slept in my room last night. He would have done it, but apparently he had other plans." Raven stared at her pointedly. Clarke blushed "he was pretty busy last night" she agreed. "Focus" Raven shook her shoulder "we're talking about me, not you" she chortled. "Right, sorry" Clarke agreed "okay, last night.." she began. "So he shows up in the com-room, telling me Octavia sent him to make sure I don't sleep on that 'ratty couch' in the room. So, he walked me to my room. We talked and he gave me chocolate pudding." Clarke started laughing "who knew the way to your heart was chocolate pudding" she said. "We were talking, and then he looked at me" she sighed "I couldn't look away, then he just…" she smiled. Clarke tried very hard not to laugh. "you like him" Clarke couldn't stop grinning "I knew it!" Raven scowled at her "yes, okay" she said "I like him" she admitted, biting her lip, "now what?" Clarke remembered the first time Bellamy kissed her. She felt the same way. "Don't force anything, let it happen like it's supposed to" Clarke told her. "Don't say those three little words until you're sure." Clarke added. "It's scary" Raven said "what if we're just too different?" Clarke shrugged "you'll never know until you try, and if it doesn't work, you move on" she said. Raven nodded "So?" Clarke grinned broadly "the kiss, was it..?" Raven smiled, rolling her eyes "good" she shrugged. Clarke couldn't stop grinning. "Stop Clarke" Raven protested blushing. Clarke tried and failed "I'm leaving" Raven scoffed. As she reached the door, Bellamy pulled it open "did you get some sleep?" he asked her. "Yes, thank you Bellamy" she said kissing his cheek "I will be sleeping in my room again. Are you happy now?" she asked him. "I'm going to look out for you too" he said, "so get used to it." Raven nodded "I'll try" she said.
"Whats that smile about?" Bellamy asked planting a kiss on Clarke's lips. She kept smiling, but said nothing. "What?" Bellamy asked, sitting down beside her. "Okay, but you cant say anything" she sighed. Bellamy nodded "Roan kissed Raven last night. "Ahh" Bellamy sighed "and?" Then he shook his head "never mind, forget I asked" he said standing in front of her "nice shirt" he remarked undoing the buttons, leaving a trail of kisses across her neck. "Bellamy" Clarke sighed pushing his shirt off his shoulders. Using his body, he pushed her down to the bed "I love you" he whispered planting feather light kisses across her chest. Wrapping her arms around him she moaned deeply. Bellamy's hands trailed where his mouth had been. "Bellamy" she panted. Chuckling, Bellamy claimed her mouth again using it and his hands to drive any thoughts of Raven and Roan out of her mind. Afterwards, he held her in his arms. Octavia was right. His mom was right. They would be creating the legacy of his family; he just had to figure the way to make that happen. "You know" Clarke sighed contentedly as he lightly caressed her arms "eventually we have to get out of bed" she told him. "Yeah, but since we will be spending the foreseeable future in the ark, we don't have to do it yet" he said leaving a trail of kisses on the back of her neck. "No, not yet" Clarke agreed turning to capture his lips with hers.
"Are you two coming out anytime soon?" Raven slid their door open just enough to stick her head in. "Do you think we would all die of radiation poisoning if I opened the door just long enough to shove her outside?" Bellamy asked Clarke. "Im pretty sure some of us would" Clarke replied "I wouldn't suggest it." Raven rolled her eyes "Abby's on the comlink" she told them "again. She called last night and I told her you were sleeping, I could just tell her you are otherwise engaged" she feigned innocence. "I hate you" Bellamy sat up throwing a pillow in her direction. Raven cackled, "I'll tell her you'll be right in" she sang.
