Short but fun

Sand Castle

"What are they doing?" Bellamy asked a little preoccupied.

"Who cares? They are having fun." O replied.

They were both sitting a few feet away from where Clarke and Lincoln were playing in the sand. The both of them contemplating their work and solidifying the castle they build, laughing loudly.

"Clarke, we don't need another wall!" Lincoln complained

"I want my people to be protected." She said solemnly.

"Like a true Princess." He laughed at her.

Clarke took a handful of sand and send it to him.

"I am not a princess." She wined

"You want to protect YOUR people. You are a princess." He reassured her

"Fine I am their princess but I would rather be an elected one" She was serious.

"I would vote for you." He said building her new wall.

They continued for a while. The sun was setting down but their roam was now surrounded by a lot of fortified walls. The water was getting closer to them and soon Clarke's roam would disappear into the deep sea.

"All of this for nothing soon they will all drown." Clarke was sad.

Lincoln thought about it for a minute and stood up walking toward his back pack and coming back with a tiny shovel he had in his emergency kit.

"We have to dig a path for the people to get away before the sea submerge everything." He told Bellamy and Octavia who were looking at him like they would do a crazy man, but they got up to help anyway because it made Clarke happy.

"See, I got reinforcement, we are going to save all your people, Princess." Lincoln affirmed seating back down next to Clarke.

"Princess?" Bellamy smirked at her.

"Elected Princess, Lincoln voted for me." She was proud of herself.

They all started to dig up a trench to go from the castle to their blankets. They finished working at the same time the sea submerged the castle destroying Clarke and Lincoln's afternoon work but neither of them cared. They were tired and laid down on the sand for a while.

"I had a great time today thank you." She whispered to him so the siblings wouldn't hear them.

"Maybe next time we should let the party downer to Camp they didn't appreciate us building yet another roam to protect." He whispered back.

She shrugged her shoulders and laughed at him.

Bellamy had been jealous at first. Lincoln already had stolen his sister from him, he wasn't happy with him being able to make Clarke laugh when it had become such a rare thing since she came back. She was smiling a lot since the remaining 100 and their allies had built up their own camp but she only truly laughed with Lincoln. By now he got used to it, Clarke laugh was a nice sound to hear and he didn't care where it came from.

"We need to go back." Octavia told them standing up.

She didn't understand the affection her boyfriend had for Clarke either but she didn't really care she knew they were just protecting each other and being good friends nothing romantic in it nothing to be worried about. Lincoln had tried telling her that Clarke had accepted him like no one had before her and that he wanted to do whatever he could to make her feel like she did for him.

"I want to stay here a little longer." Clarke said looking at her castle remains.

Bellamy stood up too, it was getting late and at least one of the leader of the new camp had to come back before night fall or anarchy could rise, maybe just young adults drunk on Monty's moonshine but anarchy all the same.

"You can't stay here alone Princess!" Bellamy affirmed.

"I'll stay with her!" Lincoln replied "We'll be back before diner."

Bellamy nodded and he and Octavia walked away from the both of them.

"You don't have to babysit me." Clarke wined. Since they built up the new camp she was only left alone in the med bay or whenever she was walking inside the walls but Bellamy, Miller and Monty won't ever let her go outside the walls without an escort even when she was wearing her blade and her gun.

"Do you want me to call Bellamy back?" he asked already knowing the answer.

"Fine!" She sighted.

"You're going to have to talk to him at some point." Lincoln spoke looking at the sea before them.

"No, I don't!" Clarke was being stubborn and she knew it. "Telling you about my feelings was hard enough I am not ever going to tell him."

"You should! You might be surprised by his response to your declaration." He kept speaking and she kept nodding 'no'.

Lincoln put his arm on her shoulders and guided her head to his shoulders for a hug.

"Whatever the hell you want." He teased her, and was pleased when she giggled. "It's time to come back home." He said putting a light kiss on her forehead.

They walked back to camp talking strategies and wall reinforcement just as they had done about their sand castle but neither of them was laughing anymore, not until later that night when Lincoln had to pry Clarke away from one of their visiting grounder ally who was trying to but failing, not that Clarke noticed, to flirt with Bellamy.
