Chapter 37 - Thank You

           

THIS ONES A GOODIE ;)

~Bellamy's POV~

I lay there with her, under the stars. Her head laying next to mine, our bodies a barley an arm length apart.

"I never thanked you." I whisper, everyone having gone inside the drop ship to sleep. I hear the dirt move next to me, the tiny specs of dirt the key to life on this dust filled planet.

"You didn't have to." I hear Clarke whisper back, the stars twinkling up above us. Octavia out of the bunker finally being able to see the stars for herself.

"Thank you Clarke. You saved us all." I say tilting my head to the side and catching her already looking at me, those big beautiful eyes catching me off guard every time I find a chance to gaze at them.

And then I see it, that beautiful smile.

"Thank you for surviving." She smiles back, those beautiful eyes flickering in the night of the fire and the cool light of the moon.

I smile at her and move my hand across the dirt until I find it stopping at hers in the middle. The soil under our fingernails and scraped across our palms. Our hands covered in scars and cuts that we will always remember. The same soil we picked up on our first days on earth, the same soil that has covered every inch of our bodies.

Now covering our hands is the same soil I slept on night one.

Now I sleep on the same soil all these years later.

I interwind our fingers and move my thumb back and forth over her hand. I watch her eyes shine and I feel my heart beat faster in my chest.

I take a deep breath and find it shaking in my chest as I watch the faint white mist float out into the air above me. It is getting cold and can feel the air getting heavier. Like Clarke can read my mind I feel her squeeze my hand and soon I feel her body pressed up next to mine.

I move my arm around under Clarke's head and feel her place her head on my shoulder and hand on my chest.

"We needed you up there." I whisper, her hot breath moving through the fabric of my t-shirt and against my skin.

I feel her exhale and stretch out her legs, her boots rubbing against mine. "I needed you down here with me." She whispers back, her arm laying lazily over my torso. I gaze up through the leaves of the forest, the hole that was caused by the drop ship landing almost regrown.

"Just me?" I ask looking down to the top of her head. My fingers grazing across her shoulder.

We stay quite and still for a few seconds and then her voice breaks the silence.

"sometimes..." She says and I look down at her. I watch as she slowly looks up at me and I raise an eyebrow down at her. I watch a small smirk slide across her face and I smirk back.

"Most of the time." She admits with a grin. I smile down at her and bring her up to kiss her forehead. I feel the tingle on my lips as they make contact with her skin. Where still now, my head resting on top of hers as we sit gazing up at the sky.

Minutes go by.

Maybe hours.

And then when I think my eyelids might drop, when I think sleep might take me away. I feel Clarke shift next to me, she places her whole head on my chest and wraps her arms around my torso. I hold her tight our legs tangled in a mess on the ground.

The fire now only a dim glow as we lie on the ground together.

"Clarke?" I whisper and I receive a squeeze and a small moan in response.

"Yeah?" She asks holding her head up and looking at me from my chest. 

Everything is so quite and I'm scared to speak.

"I think I'm in love with you." I whisper into the night air.

Something chirps in the distance and i shut my eyes again.

Clarke's hand moves away from my chest and I feel a tingle in my gut, not the good kind but the kind that mixes with the guilt of hurting someone you love. The type I felt when I had to say goodbye to Octavia over that damned radio.

The type I felt for Clarke when she couldn't say goodbye to her own mother.

But then her soft hand touches my cheek.

I sit up slowly and meet her eyes and all I see is love. The purist and rawest form.

I place my hand on her thigh and she doesn't even flinch, she just stares at me, her hand placed softly on my cheek. But then she leans in and before I know it her lips are against mine.

It's like fireworks, like the explosions in Mount Weather. But these are more than that. Instead of fire its passion and instead of destruction it's love.

Her lips fit perfectly on mine, and my hands belong at her waste. It's like we are made for each other. We move perfectly together and before long she's sitting perfectly in my lap, my hand steadying her on her lower back and the other on her shoulder and neck.

Our lips move slowly at first, mine against hers. But as the minutes passes and I began to want her more it was like I knew exactly what to do. Not like with other girls, with Clarke it is a different kind of instinct.

I bite down on her lip ever so lightly and she tugs at my hair in return. I smirk into the kiss and she pulls away and grins.

"Jackass." She says with a smile, her eyes black. I smile at her with awe before pulling her back into my chest and crashing my lips onto hers. I go to deepen the kiss but she pulls away again and softly starts kissing my neck.

"Tease." I mutter under my breath as she continues down to my collar bone then back up to my neck then cheek. Then finally my lips. She plants a soft kiss there and looks back at me with her beautiful eyes.

"I love you Bellamy Blake." She says.

I DID IT! THE CHAPTER YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!
