The 100: Nothing But Time

Chapter 11 The Proposal

Bellamy POV

Clarke has been avoiding me since I carried her into the ship. That's not an easy thing to do in a small closed in space.
I suppose I should apologize but its too much fun watching her get flustered. It's actually kind of cute...

Ok where did that come from?

I literally shake myself and decide to look for Octavia. She's been avoiding me too.

I stop to give some orders to Miller, Murphy and Wells regarding water and rations for the day when I spot the princess from the corner of my eye.

When I turn to look for her she is just climbing up to the second floor. I sigh inwardly.

maybe I should give her a little space...

Clarke POV

I lean against the wall with a sigh of relief.

I don't think he saw me.

"Hiding from someone? " Raven asks, amused.

"Am I that obvious? "

"Duh. Wanna talk about it?"

"Not really. Any word from the ARK?"

"No. We've been trying to work on tracking their radio signals but I'm kind of flying blind here. We have no idea how far away they are and the terrain isn't helping, not to mention the weather." She complains.

"Where are Monty and Wick?"

"Downstairs. Monty was working on a list of plantlife that may exist during this period and Wick just needed a break. Finn gets a little possesive." She adds as an afterthought.

"About what?"

"About me."

"You guys are a thing?"

"Yeah, we've known each other since forever. "

"Oh. I thought that you and Wick... I should probably tell you about yesterday..."

"No worries. I know you and Bellamy have your thing."

"Our thing?" I ask, as I feel the color drain from my face.

"Yeah. Are you gonna deny it? I mean that is who you're hiding from. Right?" She smirks at me and glances behind me for a minute.

I follow her gaze to see Bellamy standing there eyebrow raised and a smirk on his face.

Just kill me now.

"Raven, Princess." He says in that deep voice. "Am I interrupting? "

"No."Raven answers

"YES!" I blurt out. Raven and Bellamy both stare at me and I feel a blush slowly creep down my face.

Raven clears her throat. "I'll be back in a few" she nods at Bellamy and heads down the stairs, shutting the hatch behind her.

"Can we talk?" He asks.

Octavia POV

It's been raining for 2 days.

We've been staying in the drop ship pretty much 24/7. There were a couple of fights but nothing serious.

During the day we opened the door to watch the rain, it's, beautiful but we still want to see the sun again.

Clarke and Bellamy are still a little upset at me for lying but Clarke thinks Lincoln may be able to help us, she said she would try to convince Bellamy to let me speak to Lincoln on our behalf.

I hope she can change his mind.

Bellamy POV

Clarke just folds her arms and stares at me.

"Look I'm sorry ok?! I shouldn't have just manhandled you like that."

She finally relaxes a bit. "Ok. Just don't try it again mister" she smirks.

I raise both hands in mock surrender.
"Message received loud and clear princess."

"Have you you talked to Octavia yet?" She asks seriously afyer a minute.

I shake my head no.

"She has an idea and I think she may be right. You should talk to her..." I open my mouth in protest but she talks over me, " like an adult, and hear what she has to say. I agree with her." She finishes, giving me a determined look.

I sigh.
"You agree with this idea of hers?"

She nods

"Fine, I'll talk to her. Will you come with me?"

"Of course. Who else is going to meditate between the two of you?" She almost laughs at me.

I just roll my eyes, "C'mon princess, you can say I told you so, later! "

Octavia POV

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of my name. "Octavia."

"Over here!" I answer the sound of Clarke's voice. The smile dies on my face when I see my brother.

"So Clarke tells me you have something you want to tell me?"

I look at Clarke quickly and she nods in encouragment.

"Yes, I think we should try to make a truce with Lincoln and his people."
