After reluctantly agreeing to let Raven help him sober up, he decided to take a nap to sleep off the alcohol in her system, on the makeshift sofa Raven had in her room to try and , he wouldn't dare try and sleep on her bed, not when he was drunk and covered in blood from his wound.

Raven stood by the workshop bench in her room, trying to mend a radio a for Harper, she had found it when she was rummaging around an old room and found some cassettes to play in it. She figured it would be nice for the baby to help him sleep.

There wasn't exactly much for her to do up in space, so repairing things helped her to stay occupied.

She had a CD playing quietly on the boom box she had managed to make out of scraps. She was bobbing her head up and down to the beat of the song, as she focused on the task at hand.
But then her favourite song came on, and she couldn't help herself from quietly singing along.

But she must not have been as quiet as she thought, as Murphy was now sat up stretching his arms

"You have a nice voice, Reyes." He said, startling her.

She turned around to face him, leaning against the worktable.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you with my singing?" She asked.

He shook his head and laughed, walking over to her.

"It's fine, I needed to wake up. Besides if I weren't awake then I wouldn't be able to do this..."

He grabbed her hand and spun her around, then dipping her into his arm.

"Murphy!" She laughed, hitting his chest with her hand.

"Come on, you know you want to dance." He smirked down at her.

She nodded and pursed her lips, "You're right." She laughed.

They continued dancing, he would occasionally spin her around and dip her. Sometimes he would let go of her all together and dance around her.

Raven hadn't seen him this happy in months, but she was glad she had managed to bring out a smile in him.

"How did you know I liked this song?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.

He tilted his head to the side, "Seriously? I used to see you dancing to it all the time in your workshop back in Arkadia."

She gasped, "You used to peak in on me!"

Once again he tilted his head to the side and shrugged.

"You seemed to like that one song a lot aswell, ah what was it called that Spanish one?"

"Despacito! I loved that song, an oldie but a goodie." She giggled as she threw herself down onto the couch, out of breath.

"Old is an understatement, Reyes. That song is over a hundred years old."
Murphy sat down beside her, and forced her to lay down, pulling her legs onto his lap.

"Whatever Murphy. Don't pretend like I didn't see you and Bellamy dancing dancing to that on unity day."

He smiled at her.

"I miss Earth, the smell of the sweet air, the smell of the grass after it had just rained." Raven said, sighing.

He nodded, "Me too, but we can go back down there in a year right?"

She sighed, "Yes, but when we get back down there it isn't going to be the same. Clarke said that Alie told her only 10% of the planet would still be survivable. There's not going to be much green left." She explained.

"Yeah, I know. It's going to be hard for Bellamy to go back down there after Clarke. He never got to tell her how he felt."

Raven smiled at him sympathetically, "Yeah, I guess there's a lot of things we wish we had done differently when we had the chance."

Yay a fun, happy and fluffy chapter for you guys.
