━━━━━━━━━━━

       WHEN JINNY WAS SIXTEEN, she shared her first kiss with a boy from Alpha Station. His name was Kaidan and he was three years older than her, but they had both just entered cadet training. She did it because she had an argument with Bellamy and she had been so mad at him. In the present, she wouldn't even be able to remember the details of it except that it had been over something stupid. The moment her lips touched Kaidan's, all she could think about was how much she wished that she was kissing Bellamy instead.

       So when her lips were against his now, she poured all the yearning that had been trapped in her soul for the past decade of her existence. From the moment she fell head over heels for her best friend, the way his hair would curl stubbornly over his forehead, and the smatter of freckles across his cheeks that she was sure belonged to lost asterisms. She fell in love with the way he pulled his mouth into a sly smirk, and the warmth of his dark mahogany eyes that she could drown in. His gentle hands whenever he touched her to make sure that she was okay, and the honey whiskey timbre of his voice.

       She would kiss him as if he was the oxygen in her lungs, bursting through the black waters on a stormy night to the expanse of heaven. Her lips would carve her devotion upon his skin like the mythological priestesses in the temples of their olympian gods. Jinny would learn by heart the hidden secrets of his scars and contours of his body. She trailed her lips from the base of his throat to the edge of his jaw, her hips connected to his, as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He breathed her name against her skin, drawing her closer to him so that every inch of her body was pressed against his and there wasn't a single blank space between them. His mouth was on her chest as she threw her head back, burying her fingers in his hair, until he found her lips again.

       He turned her around and laid her down, kissing her neck with hot breaths that made her tingle with anticipation. She arched her back to the sky when he took her under the dark cover of night and she inhaled deeply, closing her eyes as he intertwined his fingers through hers. They moved together in sync, sweet ecstasy paling in comparison to the complete intimacy that only lovers shared with each other. She clung to him with ardent passion, fingertips indented into his bicep as his lips hovered over hers, their heavy sighs intermingling as one.

       "I love you, Bellamy. I love you so much," she whispered feverishly. No matter how many times she said it, it would never be enough to tell him how much he meant to her.

       Bellamy took her face between his hands, gazing into her misty eyes with so much tenderness and affection that she unravelled before him. "I love you more," he said. Then he kissed her like there was no tomorrow, as if Helios had hidden the sun and Selene ran away with the moon and Asteria fell from the stars as she flung herself into the sea.

       When Bellamy's fingertips slipped away from hers the next morning, she thought that the world had come to a standstill. The sun would rise in the west and set in the east, until he returned to her side.

        "This is a waste of time!" Quint yelled at the war table, slamming his fists onto its grainy surface.

        "Tell me about it," Jinny drawled loudly with her arms crossed as she tipped her chair backwards using the leg of the table. Clarke threw her a sharp glare from where she stood next to her.

       "If they can't breathe our air then why not open the door and let them burn?" Quint continued.

       "Yeah, let them burn!" the other war chieftains agreed around him.
