Prompt: The grounders request a marriage alliance with Clarke and one of their own. Bellamy is heart broken, feeling he lost his chance and, after their first and last night together, resolves to not let her get away without a fight.

Bellamy paced back and forth in her tent, occasionally running his fingers through his tangled hair.

"We can't," Clarke paused, looking to the floor. "This is our only option Bellamy and you know that."

(flashback)

"We can make an alliance," Anya, the grounder princess, said.

Clarke glanced over her shoulder back to Finn, Octavia and Lincoln then back to Anya. This is what they needed, its what the entire camp needed. They needed to survive down here and as long as there was a threat from the grounders, they couldn't do that. "And how do we do that?"

Her face didn't falter, "Its simple really. When you came down here, you destroyed an entire village," she hesitated. "My daughter was in that village. You killed her."

Clarke gasped, "I'm so sorry. We didn't know anyone was down here."

She ignored her and carried on, "To make peace with that village my daughter was going to marry one of there's." Anya stepped closer, "You are going to replace my daughter, you are going to marry him."

(flashback)

"No!" He shouted, "We're not sending you to them."

"Bellamy," she attempted.

"I said no Clarke."

She sighed, she had thought telling Bellamy her plans would be an advantage for her. She had thought Bellamy would've helped her escape without anyone seeing her. If she had told the others they wouldn't have let her go through with it. "This isn't your decision to make. Its mine and to protect all of you, I'm going to do it. With or without your help."

Bellamy halted, anger flashing through his expression. "Its not my decision to make? Clarke, this involves all of us. You think they'll let you live happily there?"

"Well no but-"

"They'll tear you apart inside until you no longer recognize who you are," his expression softened.

She scoffed, "Since when do you care about me?"

"Of course I care about you but its not just that. They can also use you for inside information about us."

"I won't say anything-"

Bellamy stepped in front of her and kneeled down so they were eye level, "That won't stop them from torturing you. We can wait for them to come, and then fight."

Clarke moved her gaze to the side, avoiding eye contact, "If we do that- then we could lose a lot of our people in battle but if I go then we you'd only lose one of us."

"I cant lose you."

"Why?" She whispered.

Bellamy raised his hands and cupped her face, forcing her to look at him, "I can't do this on my own. I need you, Clarke."

Her chest was heaving, she needed comfort. The decision had been made, she was still going but tonight she needed someone familiar with her. Her eyes darted from his to his lips, then she covered his mouth with hers.

After a second of shock, gently moved his mouth against hers- creating a small amount of pressure.

Clarke moaned, a single tear dropped down her cheek. She didn't want to go, but this wasn't about her.

Bellamy ran his tongue gently across her bottom lip and she opened her mouth allowing his tongue to enter. He pulled her down onto her bed, his fingers lightly skimming underneath her top.

"We can't," Clarke said against his mouth.

He pulled back," I know." He reached for the blanket and covered her up.

When he made a move to stand she gripped his arm, "Stay. Please, I don't want to alone tonight."

Sliding under the covers beside her he pulled her against his chest, "Anything for you princess."

Bellamy woke with Clarke wrapped around his body. He looked at her sleeping peacefully, her cheeks stained with dried tears.

Shit. He couldn't lose her. Not now. Especially not after last night. With fighting not an option, there was only one thing left.

He gently shook her until her eyes fluttered open, "Pack your things, we're leaving, all of us."

"We can't," she responded sleepily. "What happened to fighting?"

"I'm not gonna fight a losing battle. And if I fight, you'll leave anyways," he smirked. "You're stubborn like that. So we're leaving."

He leaned into her and kissed her cheek, "Besides, you are mine now and I'm not gonna let you go."
