Bellarke Fanfictions

10 Minutes of Heaven

*background: It's the end of season 4, and the ark has completed repairs and is ready for the nuclear winter. With a storm coming, it's finally time to lock 100 members of skaikru in the ark. The storm is barely visible in the distance, but it's gradually coming closer, seemingly moving slowly.*

-----

Ushering everyone inside, I don't even notice it at first. It was beautiful yet horrifying all at once. However, instead of staring at it, I was more concerned with the faces blurring past me as everyone was sprinting inside, all heading to their stations inside the ark. 

I grab the radio strapped to my waistband, and contact Raven.

"ETA? Over." I call into the radio, referring to the beautiful storm billowing towards Arkadia. 

"10 minutes. We have more than enough time. Over." Raven replies. I hold my radio in my hand as I observe the last few people scrambling into the ark.  

"Hey does anyone know where..." I say, looking for who I consider to be the most important, but I quickly locate them with a quick scan of my surroundings, stopping myself mid-sentence over the radio. "Never mind." 

I take a few steps away from the ark and step up next to Bellamy. His eyes are fixed upon the barely visible storm as darkness begins to surround our location. 

"Bellamy-"

"I am become death. Destroyer of worlds-"

I interrupt him. "I know who Oppenheimer is." He grins, and it's contagious.

"Things have changed." he sighs, and I become worried.

"Bellamy... we have to get back to the ark and close the doors before it's too late. I can't leave you out here this time. I'm not leaving you again." Silence lingers for a moment.

"Clarke, things have changed, but some things haven't." He looks at me with those eyes. He always look at me that way. With those eyes.

"We need to get inside. We only have ten minutes before we have to close the doors-"

"Exactly." He states simply. "10 minutes is all we have left of truly being on the ground." He looks back up at the sky, and I do the same. After a moment, although I don't see them, I can feel those eyes again, staring holes into me. Moments pass by, and we enjoy the fresh air, sharing silence. "Dance with me Clarke."

"What-"

"Dance with me."

"But we don't have any music." he smiles, pulls something out of his pocket, and uses one hand to gently tuck some of my blonde hair behind my left ear. He puts an earbud in my ear for me, and plays a song. I recognize it. Crimson and Clover.

He grabs my hand. 

"I've never danced... with someone else before." I inform him.

He smiles even wider, grabs my arm and places them on his shoulders, and wraps his arms around my waist. I've never been this intimate with him, but I'm not uncomfortable. We step back and forth to the beat of the music, spinning around in circles. 

Bellamy suddenly leans in towards my right ear and whispers, "You know how I said things have changed, but some things never will?" I nod in response. "The way you make me feel. I don't know what it is or how to describe it, but I like it. It hasn't changed. If there's only 10 minutes left for me to enjoy the Earth, you're the one I want to spend it with." 

I smile, laying my head on his shoulder and wrapping my arms tighter around his neck.

"I want to spend eons with you, Bellamy Blake."
