Ok everyone was officially too dirty for Clarke's liking. Everyone was caked in sweat and dirt all the bloody time it was no wonder the younger ones were starting to feel freaking sick. Them bathing once when they were outside the walls of camp, once every two weeks was no way in hell enough. It was time for an actual bathing schedule, an actual bathing place.
Her and Finn had found a small waterfall that would be perfect for everyone to bathe in. It was in a peaceful territory, they had never seen a grounder there before. It was nice and beautiful clear water. And the best part, no bloody giant man eating snakes.
She had set up a meeting with Bellamy, Octavia, Monty, and Jasper to talk about it. Octavia loved the idea. Monty said he had found some plants to make soap with. And Jasper, even tho he hated going out of their camp since the last grounder falling out, had even liked the idea. Hell, every one loved the idea except Bellamy.
"God damn it Bell, I don't see your problem. You like wreaking like a wild boar or something? Cause I sure as hell don't." Octavia had said, being the first one to actually stand up to Bellamy and back Clarke on the idea. Because Jasper and Monty had shut up the first time he said no.
"Octavia…" he said rubbing his temples. "Yes I know everyone needs to bathe more often, and yes I want to too-"
"Then what the hell is your problem!? Clarke even made a schedule so the camp will always be guarded. So groups going out will be small but have one of your men in it for protection! I want to bathe Bell!" she screamed.
God dammit. That's why Clarke wanted her here. It's almost impossible for him to say no to Octavia. Especially when she's screaming. He was more than half sure that this was more than just Clarke's way of trying to insure she'd get what she'd want. This was fucking payback for last week in the damn drop ship. That is the only logical explanation on why she would bring out the biggest gun in the arsenal against him. Even tho she knew O would rain down whole hell on him.
"Look just because her and space walker think it's safe doesn't mean it is! You could all be in there bathing one second, and then getting turned into grounder stew the next!" He had yelled. Getting tired already of being screamed at by both women.
"It's not on any tribal territory," Lincoln had said walking into Bellamy's tent. The actual fuck? He was going to wring the necks of whoever was on watch. Letting a grounder just fucking walk into bloody camp.
He didn't care if it was Lincoln, O's boyfriend. He didn't care that the grounder had saved Octavia's life more than once. He was still a fucking grounder and Bellamy didn't like him.
Besides, what kind of idiot lets any grounder, whether savior of the leaders sister or not, just walk through camp and into his tent. Everyone knew he didn't like this fucking grounder. Someone, had some major balls, and Bellamy decided then and there, that after this he would find said person and remove their fucking balls.
"See Lincoln says it's safe!" O chimes.
"Ok ok, fine. We will do Clarke's bathing schedule. Now everyone out of my fucking tent!" he had practically growled. And everyone left. Everyone that is, except for Clarke.
Bellamy throws himself on his makeshift bed. "You got what you wanted Clarke. You can start your bath shifts tonight. Out now."
"I find it hilarious how you're so big and tough yet you do whatever I want as long as I have the right ammo. You bow to the princess." she says with a smile.
He doesn't get mad, on the contrary he smirks. "No,I just thought I'd be nice today by giving the spoiled princess what she wants without making her beg."
Clarke starts to get pink and angry. She leaves without saying anything else.
Later that night she is rounding up the group that gets to bathe today.
"Bellamy, are you coming?" A girl asked him obviously looking him up and down.
"No, I'm going to sleep," he said to tired to flirt.
"Actually Bellamy, Miller bailed, you have to come or I'll be the only shooter going," Harper said.
Goddammit, he couldn't let Harper be the only one, she was a great shot, but if push came to shove, he was more then sure she'd freeze up in action.
He sighed. Nothing went his way today. He still couldn't find out who let Lincoln if the damn camp. He was still there too, over by the fire with Octavia.
Goddammit he wanted to punch Miller in the face for making him work harder.
"I'll get my stuff, I'll meet you at the gate in 10 Harper. Don't leave without me." He said as he walked to his tent and grabbed a small pack and a gun. He went back to the gate. 10 others were waiting for him next to Harper. 5 girls, five guys. Clarke was still there, guess she was going too…Who's that by her…. Yep...It's fucking space walker. Terrific, now he had to deal with an annoying peace loving idiot who would probably start whining when he saw the gun.
And...there's Raven, looking pissed, figures if space walker goes she'd come too. This day just got better and better. Raven was like a ticking time bomb when it came to Clarke and Finn. He swallowed roughly as he signaled to open the gate.
It was uncomfortably silent most the way there. Harper was in the front of the group with Clarke and Finn. And Bellamy was in the back protecting the rear of the group. Raven was the closest by him, but she was just mumbling and cursing under her breathe as Clarke and Fin held hands. Bellamy was even getting a little pissed at space walker now.
When they finally got to the waterfall an hour later without incident Bellamy was relieved. In truth he was exhausted. He had been pushing himself too hard lately.
Within minutes everyone was laughing and getting undressed, excited to bathe. Even Harper was excited but stood there because she wasn't sure if Bellamy wanted her to stay out and guard. Bellamy was too tired to tell her he would guard them alone.
"Harper give me your gun and go have fun. I'll help Bellamy." Raven said as Harper looked at Bellamy for permission. He just nodded.
And as soon as Harper was off and splashing in the water he finally just dropped to the ground dropping the strong leader act. He was fully exhausted and knew everyone was too busy having fun to notice. Raven would be too busy glaring at Finn, or so he hoped.
"You dead shooter?" Raven asked above him. He opened his eyes. She was standing above him.
"Not yet." He said looking up her shirt since he had the perfect angle on the ground to do so.
"If you're doing what I think you're doing, you will be." She said handing him a bag of water.
"Like you don't like it." He smiles and drinks as he sits up. She doesn't answer him. she sits next to him and puts her head on his shoulder.
Even since the night they had slept together there was an unspoken agreement of friendship between them, they weren't exactly drawn to each other in a romantic way, but both of them were definitely a like, and there was chemistry between them when, on the rare occasion, they would share a bed. Both of them did not feel the need or want, to go beyond friends with benefits tho. Raven because she was still in love with Finn. Bellamy… because he had never wanted an actual relationship with anyone. Too much work.
They sat and watched, and guarded the others, Bellamy nearly asleep when he heard Clarke shriek and his eyes flew open. He searched the water for the blond. And when he finally located where she was with his eyes he was mad. Finn had her pinned against a rock in the water. She was trying to push him off and it was obvious she was upset, but why. And as Bellamy's eyes continued to stare he saw something that officially made him despise space walker.
Finn had a finger in Clarke's underwear. He was covering the fact from the other bathers with his body in front of hers but Bellamy had fucking seen it. He was trying to finger fuck her in front of everyone, and from what Bellamy could tell, from what he saw, and what he knew about the princess, there was no way she was ok with it.
Bellamy flew to his feet and walked over to the side Finn had her pinned against. He tried to be calm, so he would not draw more attention to them. He didn't want Clarke to be humiliated because Finn was an idiot. He knelt down and in a low voice so others wouldn't hear said, "You have five seconds to stop your date rape and get your hand out before I come in and make you get it out." His voice was actually scary yet calm.
Finn got his hand out. "I don't see what your problem is Clarke? What you'll only be a sexy whore for him."
Clarke was pink, she couldn't believe Finn tried that, she can't believe he just said that. It was low so no one would hear except them, but still. Oh what Bellamy must think of her right now. Bellamy's silent behind her, maybe he left?
Splash.
Bellamy jumped in beside her, fully clothed.
He's filled with rage, he doesn't care. What did Finn just call her? Before he knows it he's in the water punching the ever living shit out of space walker.
Smut will be in the next chapter but this chapter was long enough. And this chapter is very important in their romance, so it had to be written.
