-(Bellamy's POV)-

I'm in Clarke's arms when I wake up. I have never felt so safe before. I didn't want to believe my self but I think I'm falling for the rebel princess. She definitely can be an ass but inside she's as broken as I am.

My eyes flicker open and closed and I notice that I'm moving. I finally reach a halt and I'm placed into the ground, I'm laying in my tent. Once Clarke comes in the feel my self sigh in relief.

"How are you"? I question. She smiles at me which is the first time I've seen her do that. I like her smile I just wish it could stay there forever, but it can't.

"Me? Arn't you the one who almost died yesterday?"

"Almost," I sneaker. " I would have if you weren't there". I smile at her which causes her to smile more. If I wasn't so tired I would almost say she was blushing? I mutter out a "thank you" and shift my body up so I'm sitting up.

"I guess that means your healing" Clarke notions.

"What do you mean?"

"Your sitting up like you never have been stabbed". She laughs. I laugh with her but it hurts to much so I lay back down. Clarke has to be one of the only friends I have ever had. My whole life I have only wanted to protect my sister, but now that other people can I have less of a responsibility. Until I met Clarke. Once I met her she reminded me of my self; fearless, dedicated, and a true born leader.

"I think you should rest a bit before you go on your next adventure".

"You should too. I've seen you Clarke; you work your ass of and you never rest. Hell! I don't think I've seen you sleep!"

"Thanks for the consideration but I'm stuck with you tonight." What? She's stuck with me? I have never felt so childish and relived at the same time.

"I don't need a babysitter." Just as I wanted the Princess disregarded what I said and leaned in close before she lifted my shirt up.

"Hey! If you wanted to see my naked you could have just asked." Her face frowned and rolled her eyes at me.

"I don't want to see you naked Bellamy, I just need check your wound." As she lifts my shirt I can feel her stare at my body. "Like what you see?"

"Don't push it Bellamy". Her hands rubbed against my raw flesh which cause me to welch in pain. How can someone so caring be so painful.

"Ouch..okay that hurt. Clarke! Poking around in my skin won't make this all better." She mumbles an apology and stands up.

"You should get some sleep, I'll be over there", she points to the corner of my tent " if you need me just ask."

"Will do" I tell her. Before Clarke could reach the corner I grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward me. " stay with me princess. Just for a little bit." She laid her body next to mine, awkwardly I shifted my body away from her making it more comfortable for the both of us. Every time I'm with Clarke I have this urge to make her happy. I could always tell when something was wrong. She would look down on her left foot when she would talk to you.

"Bellamy..." Clarke whispered.

"Yes, princess."

"Why do you call me that-Princess?" I look down at her face and recognize the same look she gave me when she told me Murphy was back at the camp.

"What's wrong"?

"What do you mean"? She lies. Her eyes Clarke her left foot and I know something was wrong.

"Don't lie to me, I know when you lie to me anyway. You look down at your left foot."

"I didn't know anyone noticed that. I didn't really think anyone noticed me. My mom told me to be brave and selfless. I'm trying Bellamy... It's so hard." Tears start to crawl from her eyes into the orange blankets covering us.

"How can anyone not notice you Clarke? Your the reason everyone is alive. Your the only person here that only cares for everyone but themselves, and I love that about you" I leaned closer toward her until we where inches apart. "I need you". I cupped her cheek into my hands and bring her closer. Our lips brush each other until they crash all at once.

"Bellamy..." She pulls away.

"Shhh. This is what I was to remember before everything goes back to hell. Just you and me, together." With that note I kiss her on the cheek, forehead, then lips until we both fall asleep together.
