The two of them sat silently with each other on opposite sides of the couch. This was the first time they had been alone together since they confessed their feelings for each other, and they didn't really know what to do next. They had been sitting awkwardly in silence ever since Octavia left and they were stuck in this state for a while. "Why is this so awkward?", Clarke asked nervously breaking the silence. Bellamy shrugged his shoulders and gave her a nervous smile.
"We've been alone together a million times before, why is it so different now?", he asked. Clarke sighed and fidgeted with her hands. The silence continued for a few seconds more before Bellamy had an idea. "Want to listen to some music ? I made you a mixtape. I was just too scared to give it to you", Bellamy confessed. Clarke smiled and moved closer to him
"You made me a mixtape?", she said gratefully, nobody had ever done something so romantic for her in her entire life and she swore in that moment, her heart skipped a beat. Bellamy nodded and took the tape out of his back pocket. It was wrapped in a shiny silver sheet and was old and classic just like Clarke had imagined. He handed it to her and she took it quickly.
"Lets listen then shall we", Clarke said flirtatiously. "We'll test how good your taste in music is". She put the tape in the player that was nearby in the room and then sat back down and let the first song play. It was a slow song, one Clarke had never heard before, she didn't know what it was but she liked it. She rested her head back and listened, thinking about how Bellamy had made this for her, wondering when he made it, before or after they discovered they liked each other? Clarke looked up to discover Bellamy standing in front of her, one of his arms extended.
"Dance with me", he said calmly. Clarke smiled and bit her lower lip to calm her nerves.
"I can't dance", she told him and he shook his head.
"Come on, Clarke. Dance with me", he repeated, with more intent this time. Clarke reluctantly slipped her hand into his and he pulled her to her feet.
They stood awkwardly for a second before Clarke spoke,
"Okay so how are we doing this?". Bellamy smirked and looked at her, he took a step towards her as he spoke
"Well to start we need to be closer", Clarke's heart began to race as he spoke. "And I was thinking that I'd just put my hands here", Bellamy continued as he slid his hands across her back, making Clarke shiver.
"And I'll put my arms here", she lay her arms around Bellamy's neck and grinned when she felt him tense slightly. "You okay there?", she asked laughing slightly. A smile came to his face as well
"Like you can talk, I felt you shiver as well", he told her, and a flood of embarrassment flowed through her entire body. She smiled and hung her head forward, then greeted his eyes and they stared at each other for a long time. Their feet moved slowly to the beat of the song and their eyes did not waver once. They moved closer together and the chemistry between them grew rapidly. The electricity was unimaginable, and they had never wanted each other more than right now. Bellamy closed the gap between them by kissing her gently, Clarke kissed him back and the two of them relished in this moment. "What are we?", Clarke said as she pulled away slightly. Bellamy smiled and then tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Clarke Griffin, will you be my girlfriend?", he asked her and she nodded immediately. She smiled and tightened her grip, trying to be as close to him as possible.
"Of course I will", she replied. The two of them danced until the song was over, never more grateful for each other than right now.
