Rayne's Point of View

I woke up to the sounds of cheering and howling before rolling over slightly to avoid the strong rays of sun pushing into my face. However I wasn't expecting to roll over right into a kiss.

Surprised I opened my eyes only to see Bellamy pulling his face away from mine with a soft playful grin etched onto his lips. I had ended up rolling right into his arms and against his chest causing me to smile softly at him as he tightened his arms around me.

"I missed this." He let out with a sigh.

"How we've been in thralls like this for at least a week."

He laughed pushing some of my hair behind my ear, "It was two weeks of not even speaking, I think a full week of make up sex and cuddling kinda makes that even out." He chucked as I playfully slapped his arm getting out of the bed and pulling on all my clothing.

"You're something else Bellamy Blake." I told him with a smile.

He just sat up in the bed letting the blanket covering his smooth chiseled chest become uncovered. "You're also a tease… get dressed… I have something to show you before 'Unity Day' becomes a real thing." I laughed.

Over the past two weeks Clarke and Murphy had started letting me in on all the things they'd been hiding from me. They let me know and tried to get me to understand their motives. I just still didn't see how it was worth nearly tearing Bellamy and I apart over. Clarke told me she still has feelings for Finn, which I suppose is understandable he was her first.

She holds onto things like that a lot more than I do but I guess that is just her demeanor. I tried talking to her about why she feels the need to always be around Bellamy. Apparently its because as much as she disagrees with things he says and does, he's the only one down here always willing to risk his life for everyone.

I get it, trust the one you really trust the least. Raven had become more edgy in the past few weeks checking on all the bullets making sure there were no duds. I wasn't sure how a girl who failed chemistry was going to do that but she volunteered.

Clarke would probably get her way and be with Finn again if Raven and him continued on the path of destruction they where on. No amount of counseling was going to help them; every piece of advice I had given to them they had blatantly ignored.

I think Finn chose Clarke over Raven long before she even came to Earth. Which I supposed was a pretty horrible thing to say no matter how true it was becoming. I was standing outside waiting on Bellamy to come out when I could hear the vidcom going off with Jaha starting his yearly speech.

"My friends, this is an Historic Unity Day. Every year, we mark the moment our ancestors of the twelve stations joined to form the Ark, but this is the last time we do so while aboard her." I turned around as I felt arms wrap around my waist.

Placing my hands on Bellamy's chest I stood up on the tip of my toes reaching for his lips with my own, feeling the warmth of his breath against my upper lip. I felt him move his one hand to cup my cheek as he pulled my lips right against his.

His soft lips moving against my own as he licked my bottom lip, only to be interrupted by Murphy as he wondered past us with a grin, "You guys have a perfectly good tent for that right behind you…" He told his before walking away.

"That's our cue, come." I said as he took my hand in his and followed me as I lead him out of the camp and towards the exit.

"Where are we going?" He asked me softly after a good chunk of time had pasted during out walk through the woods.

I looked over at him and smiled, "Trust me." I said my voice going up a few octaves.

"With my life." He said just under a whisper, probably thinking I wouldn't hear him. Once we had reached the same cave he and I shared our first time together I sat on the rock we had our moment on.

"You remembered there this was?" He asked me as he sat down next to me.

"I remember everything we do together Bellamy… good and the bad. I just, as much as this Unity Day stuff is a load of bull… I wanted to celebrate at least something… just you and me." I told him as I lowered my head looking away from him., feeling the warmth on my cheeks grow as I said it.

I felt his hand slowly cup my chin turning me to face him, "We can use Unity Day as our own Unity Day." He told me as I arched my brow.

"What do you mean?" He chuckled.

"Every year, hence forth on this day… we'll celebrate the fact that we're alive and together." He told me as he leaned over placing a soft kiss on my lips.

"Sounds like a marriage proposal." I laughed as he and I pulled away from each other.

"What if it was?" He asked me as we both stood up leaving the cave. I stopped just outside the cave as he said that looking at him confused. Why would he say that?

"What?" He questioned as he turned around to face me. "Did I say something wrong?" He asked me again, "Fuck I did, didn't I?" I said cursing even more under his breath.

"Rayne…" He said softly as he walked back over to me taking my hands in his. "Why would you say that?" I asked my voice breaking slightly.

Bellamy smiled at me as he pulled me close to his chest wrapping both arms around me tightly; "Rayne, once all the people on the Ark come down, and we re-establish a way of life… if you'll have me… I never want to let you go again." He told me.

"So yea, it was exactly what you think it is… it's a promise to you that you are the only girl I will ever want, or need… just don't give up on me." He said after pulling me away and crouching down slightly to my height with a wide smile on his lips.

"No more lies?" I asked me. "None." He kissed my lips.

"No more sneaking off?" He kissed my lips again. "Not unless you're by my side." I smiled at him before chuckling.

"What?" He asked me as we began to walk back towards the camp.

"Nothing, you're just so damn cheesy." I told him as I ran ahead a little.

"I'm-" He paused scoffing, "I'm cheesy have you heard some of the stuff you say?" He laughed catching up to me grabbing me, wrapping his arms around me and landing on the ground with me on top of him as he held me close.

"If being cheesy lets me keep kissing you every time I want, and waking up every morning to your face… I will only get cheesier." He said as I giggled kissing his lips.

Once we got back to the camp, we watched as everyone had begun to drink and party. "I'll be right back, going to go check up on all the patrols and weapons." Bellamy told me as he pulled me into a kiss and walked off away from me looking back every few feet.

"Rayne." I heard Finn call from behind me as I turned around to face him. "What's up Finn… are we finally going to talk about what we both saw the other day?" I asked him.

He shrugged his shoulders; "No, that will always be between us… we both know without peace with the grounders we're heading to a war we wont be able to stop." He told me as I nodded in agreement.

"So what then?" I asked arching my brow.

"I-" He paused taking me by the arm gently and leading me away from where any people where so they wouldn't hear us talking. "I saw Octavia leave the camp, and she does it a lot when no one is looking… I know you know where she's going… tell me… I have a plan." He explained as I looked from him, to my feet, to the sky then back to him biting my lip the entire time.

"She goes to Lincon." I told him.

"Lincon? How do you two know what his name is… can he speak English?" He asked me.

I looked away for a moment lightly sucking on my bottom lip out of frustration, and embarrassment I didn't think I would ever have to explain this let alone confess about it. I nodded slowly, "Yea… he can… he's also really kind he loves Octavia, in some way or another he loves her… and him having those feelings for her might actually save our people." I told him.

"Protecting her means protecting the people she loves… well some of us I hope." Finn looked at me holding both my shoulders.

"Rayne, where did she go?" He asked me a second time.

"Their back in his cave…" I told him with a heavy sigh, "Don't hurt him… please…" He nodded. "I'll find her later… thanks Rayne… I need to know if there's a way we can govern peace between them and us." He said leaving me standing there my head facing the ground. I had promised her I wouldn't tell anyone she was seeing him, that's a promise I just broke for no real reason, just a pipe dream.

Walking over towards the seats we had surrounding the fire I sat down to see Clarke join me causing me to smile softly at her as she nodded to me. "Our parents are coming down… two days." She told me.

"Yea, are you glad you and your mom made up?" I asked her.

"Well, made up and discussed the problem are two different things." She told me as I nodded.

"It's going to be the first time I see Kane as… Marcus Kane… Dad. Verses Kane, dickwad Council man." I told her causing her to chuckle.

"It'll be good us all seeing our families again," She sighed as I turned to her, "You know… most of the people they're gonna send down here will be council members and members of the guard… not everyone else's families." I told her as she nodded looking away.

"Yea, that's not something I'm looking forward to explaining… has anyone asked you about Dax?" She asked me quietly.

I shook my head, "Not a single person has. I can only imagine he's dead or roaming around the forest… Can you imagine what would have happened had we had banished Murphy?" I aksed her causing her to whip her head in my direction.

"It was a hypothetical cool your jets." I told her as she smiled.

"I'm really glad you told us to just ground him." She told me, "Even if that lasted three weeks tops."

I nodded; "John and Bellamy seem to have a friendship neither of us or anyone for that matter will understand." I told her with a laugh.

"What would we even call that?" She said as she took a sip of water. "Bellurhy?" She said making me laugh harder than I wanted too.

"Murphamy?" I question as she nodded, "Sounds better than what I suggested." She commented.

She and I sat like that for a long time before Bellamy had come and got me so we could have some time alone before everything got real intense. It was unity day, one could only imagine how much they where all planning on drinking through the night.

I still haven't forgiven Clarke for the shit she pulls on me however, they do have that saying 'Keep your friends closer, and your enemies closer' do they not?

He and I walked away over to the gun tent as he picked up his own rifle smiling at me, "I have these to protect you, you know this right?" He asked me causing me to nod.

"Of course, just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean I don't understand it." I explained to him as we left the tent walking back towards the center of the camp where everyone was enjoying themselves.

Bellamy stopped and leaned up against the tree taking my hands in his pulled me slowly towards him resting his hands on my hips. "I love you." He said softly as he looked up into my eyes. I leaned into him kissing him on the lips gently.

"Say it again." I commanded him, my voice light and airy.

"I love you, Rayne." He told me as I nuzzled my face into his neck. "Hey I'll meet you at the square." I finally said backing away from him causing him to look at me confused.

"I have to pee… wasn't something I felt the need to announce." I told him causing him to smile at me.


Bellamy's Point of View

I watched Rayne walk away from me, my eyes lightly watching as her entire lower half swayed softly from side to side almost entrancing me with her movements. I grinned to myself before taking in a deep breath and heading over to where my post was for the night. Swiping and apple from the rations bin before finally stopping.

I stood there watching, as everyone was moving around, laughing, drinking and having a good time. I may have felt like Unity Day was a load of shit but I could get used to seeing everyone so happy and free.

Knowing I was pardoned for my crimes really only made the incentive to stay here and protect everyone that much stronger. I wasn't lying to Rayne when I told her I wanted her to be with me forever once everything and everyone was down here.

She was all I really needed; she was perfect, even with all her imperfections. Like I don't think I've ever met a girl who can't make simple meals. However she can't, she told me she can't dance either which is why when I met her all those years ago at the dance she was standing there against the wall.

She was so beautiful to me, to a point where I couldn't even look at the other girls down here as much else but a face. I took a bite out of my apple and noticed Clarke wonder over to me. "Hey. The comms are still dead." She told me causing me to nod.

"They cut out during the pageant." I looked towards her and nodded again swallowing the chunk of apple I still had in my mouth. I knew Rayne was still upset with her, but I also knew Rayne would still do anything to keep Clarke safe. I could only hope knowing Clarke and I were kind of friends now wouldn't upset her.

"Best Unity Day ever." I told her with a smirk on my face, knowing we didn't have to watch the entire celebrations back on the Ark made me happy. Rayne hated them too, she felt like celebrating the day an entire station blew up out of the sky was a bit to sickening for her tastes. I had to admit I agreed with her, I looked over at Clarke as she rolled her eyes as she let a large smile form over her lips.

"How are things between you and Rayne? We've barely seen either of you for the past two weeks almost." She said with a smirk.

"Our sex life is thriving once again, if that's what you needed to know." I told her as she made fake gagging noises.

"Seriously though, how are things between the two of you?"

"They are pretty great Clarke… thanks again for making me come back to the camp…" I told her as she nodded.

"Do you really think now is a good time to be having a party though?" She asked as she looked over at the groups of people enjoying their night. "I mean, the grounder is out there." She told me.

"Grounders. By now, he's made it home. He's probably putting together a lynch mob." I said watching her face drop. "Relax. I got security covered. Why don't you go get a drink?" I told her looking around to see where Rayne had gone off too.

"You look like you could use one." She looked back at the center or the camp. "I could use more than one." She admitted to me with a soft chuckle.

"Then have more than one." I told her with a laugh. "Clarke, the exodus ship carrying your mother, Rayne's dad, comes down here in two days." I began to explain, "After that, the party's over. Have some fun while you still can. Go find Murphy and enjoy yourselves, you deserve it." I told her causing her to smile.

"Yea, ok." She said after she took a few moments to think about everything I had said to her.

She began to walk away from me before stopping and turning a bit to face me again. "So do you by the way." Clarke said with a smile.

"I'll have my fun when the grounders come." I told her, "Or later when Rayne and I are done with these super cool festivities." Just as Rayne walked up to me linking her arm with mine looking from Clarke to me, before taking her arm away from mine, causing my stomach to drop. I really hope she didn't think something was going on.

"Seriously?" Rayne asked arching her brow, "Why not tell the whole planet about our sexual endeavors." She said as she giggled.

"Unity Day." I said as I leaned down and gave Rayne a soft kiss on her lips.
