BB/BS CH.11

Emma tried to keep her eyes on the road but had a hard time keeping them from flicking to her rearview window to check if Clarke and Bellamy were having a good time. Poor tall Bellamy was stuffed into the backseat of the bug, his knees practically hitting his chest.

"I still don't see why I have to sit back here," he whined, glaring at Killian, "I'm taller than you are, you should be sitting back here."

"1) You're only an inch taller than me and 2) I have the directions and the navigator always rides shotgun," Killian explains with a sideways glance at Emma.

"Sorry about the tight squeeze kid, we're almost there," she said, driving down the road and turning onto the street the theater was on. She found a spot on the street and parked, before turning around to push her seat forward so that Bellamy and Clarke could get out.

"Thank God, I could not listen to this one grumble and mutter to himself about being cramped I was going to pull out my hair," Clarke sighed with relief. Emma chuckled and watched as the two teens walked over to the box office.

"You sure this is a good idea Swan? They don't seem to be getting along," Killian muttered to her as they went to join them in line.

"Just give it time; I have an idea," Emma murmured back as they took their place in line behind Clarke and Bellamy. They picked up their tickets and went into the lobby of the theater.

"Wow that line for popcorn is so long, how about Killian and I get refreshments and you two go save our seats," Emma suggested.

Clarke and Bellamy quickly exchanged glances, "Actually why don't you guys get the seats? Sorry I'm just really picky when it comes to how much butter is on my popcorn," Clarke said quickly.

"Okay, you two get the popcorn and we'll save the seats," Killian said, handing Bellamy some cash, "Refreshments are on me tonight."

"Thanks, is there anything you guys want?" Bellamy asked taking the cash.

"Grab me a coke and some Raisinettes?" Emma asked Clarke.

"Same for me, and you two get whatever you like and come meet us in the theater," Killian smiled and followed Emma into the theater. It was crowded inside, there was almost no chance the four of them would be able to sit together, hell Emma felt they would be lucky if they were able to find seats near each other.

"I forget how much of a cult classic this movie is sometimes," she said to Killian as they searched for some seats.

"Aye, but I think I spy some seats that are open," he said and he lead her to a pair of seats behind another pair of empty seats, "We might not all be together, but perhaps this will let Clarke and Bell feel less like they're being chaperoned?"

"Good thinking," Emma complimented before testing Clarke where their seats were, "So you also like chocolate covered raisins?"

"Yeah I can't watch a movie without them, this might sound odd but I like to mix them in with my popcorn," he answered sheepishly.

Emma's head snapped to look at him, "You do that too? I thought I was the only one!"

"Apparently not, I thought I was the only one as well. Octavia seems to think it's one of my odder habits, she doesn't understand the appeal of salty and sweet," Killian shrugged.

"Well she obviously doesn't know what she's missing," Emma smiled, suddenly glad that there would be a row between them and the teens.

"Good move getting them to save the seats," Bellamy said as they stood in line.

"Thanks, I figured some time alone together will do some good plus they can bond over their weird love of chocolate covered raisins," Clarke said.

"Does Emma mix them into her popcorn?" Bellamy asked.

"Yes! Oh my god don't tell me Killian does it too!"

"He does and every time he takes Octavia and I to a movie he tries to get us to try it!" Bellamy exclaimed.

"God they have so much in common, did you see them making eyes at each other on the drive over here?" Clarke was dangerously close to gushing.

"Not really, I was too busy trying to breath despite my knees jammed into my chest," Bellamy said grumpily.

"Oh get over yourself, you're barely an inch taller than Killian. Plus it's good that they sat together, the whole point of this outing is for them to spend time together which would be easier if you would stop being a fucking grouch," Clarke rolled her eyes.

"Well excuse me Princess, you know what just for that I'm going to add raisinettes to your popcorn," he smirked at her.

"You wouldn't," Clarke glared at him. He held her gaze before his face cracked into a wide smile.

"Only because I won't subject you to the weird texture combination of raisins and popcorn," Bellamy smirked at her.

"Gee thanks, now let's hurry up and get the snacks, I don't want to miss the start of the movie," Clarke stepped up the the counter and ordered the snacks and Bellamy handed the cashier the cash Killian had given him.

"Come on, the lights are gonna go down if we don't get to the theater, it'll be impossible to find the seats Killian and Emma saved for us," Bellamy said impatiently as he tried to hold the two containers of popcorn in his arms.

Clarke balanced the drinks and candy in her arms and lead them into the theater where they found Killian and Emma sitting together and chatting animatedly about their favorite parts of the movie.

"Sorry we couldn't find a way for us to all sit in the same row," Killian apologized as he took the bucket of popcorn and candy from them.

"It'll be fine, it seems like a lot of people love this movie," Clarke shrugged and sat down next to Bellamy.

"It's a classic, how could you not like this movie? It has everything, witty dialogue, great characters, and come one who doesn't love a good princess and pirate love story?" Bellamy said before shoving a handful of popcorn in his mouth.

"That's true," Clarke said before grabbing a handful of popcorn and sneaking a covert look at Emma and Killian as they mixed the Raisnettes into their shared popcorn. Clarke smiled to herself and turned back towards the screen as the move started.

Bellamy waved goodbye to Emma and Killian when he go to the front door of his building and went up the stairs and into his apartment. He found Octavia sitting on the couch watching The Vampire Diaries and flopped down on the couch next to her.

"Hey O, did you eat?" he asked

"Yeah Mom left me something before she went to work, hey how was your double date?" she asked.

"It was goo-," Bellamy stopped himself short, "It wasn't a double date."

Octavia looked like she was trying very hard not to laugh, "Uh huh sure Bell, totally wasn't a double date and you totally don't have feelings for Clarke."

"I don't!"

"You so do! Don't lie to me," Octavia said poking him in the ribs.

"I'm not lying to you!" Bellamy slapped her fingers away from him, "And stop jabbing me with your bony fingers."

"Then admit that you like Clarke!" Octavia insisted.

"You are so annoying," Bellamy sighed and got up off the couch and stalked towards his room.

"That's not a no!" Octavia sing songed at his retreating back, "And I'm not annoying!" Bellamy slammed his door behind him and fell face first onto his bed, knowing that Octavia was right. He definitely liked Clarke and the fact that he could still feel where his fingers brushed against hers in the popcorn bucket was more than enough proof that he was totally and completely fucked.
