Authors Note: A short drabble based off the glance Bellamy gives Lexa in 3x03. (Forewarning, this is not pro Lexa)
Before Bellamy looks at Clarke one last time and walks away, before his eyes narrow and his lips tilt into a frown so full of anger and hurt, before he turns his back on the girl he never thought the would, Bellamy shares a look with Lexa.
It's quick, nothing more than a prolonged glance, but it's so heavy and tense that if he wasn't so infuriated (and hurt) by Clarke, his blood would be boiling with rage and his hands would be itching to grab his gun and aim it at the Commander's head.
Bellamy hasn't had much interaction with Lexa. There was Finn's funeral(?), the dinner where they had been almost accused of poisoning the drinks, Raven's brief but painful torturing, and that basically it. All other knowledge he has of her has been from the words of others. And they haven't been favorable.
Standing so close yet so far from the young woman now, he can see why.
He hates Lexa more than he has ever hated her than in this moment. More than when she forced Clarke's hand into killing Finn. More than when she had allowed her men to use a blade on Raven's defenseless body. More than when she had given the order for his sister to be killed. And impossibly more than when she had taken her army and turned her back on his people when they needed them most.
Lexa is standing tall and poised as usual, not the barest hint of an emotion on her face. But Bellamy can see-he doesn't know how but he can-the hidden anger and smug pride gleaming in her eyes. Because Clarke has chosen to stay with her and not leave with him.
And Lexa is beyond happy over the fact while Bellamy is drowning in angered grief.
Bellamy doesn't really know why but Lexa doesn't like him. As she stares him down, watching as Clarke all but rejects him, he can feel the metaphorical daggers she is aiming his way. She is happy, somehow, that she is the one Clarke will now be residing with. Not him and not the Sky people, but especially not him.
So much has happened in the past few moments that Bellamy hasn't processed a lot. But in this one glance, Bellamy notices the eerily similar dresses Lexa and Clarke are wearing. Undoubtedly this was Lexa's doing, he's not even sure Clarke's likes dresses (not that there has been time to wear them). But this-who else could have planned this?
It can't be just a symbolism of their people's joined unity. Wouldn't all the clan leaders be dressed similar than? No, this is Lexa making a claim. A claim on Clarke.
Bellamy wants to hit something.
So in that one glance, Bellamy hopes his point gets across. I hate you. You betrayed my people. We will never be the same people. She's not a thing and she can't be won. If you hurt her I will kill you.
But then it's over and his focus is back on Clarke and he doesn't spare another thought on that woman.
