Couldn't Stop Caring || Bellarke

Five.

The sun was shining, and the birds were chirping happily. Clarke felt herself being pulled from blissful sleep by the sounds of reality. Campers were already awake and going about their day, but Clarke couldn't seem to find the energy to pull herself out of bed. That and she didn't want to untangle herself from Bellamy, who slept soundly beside her. She took the opportunity to look at him. He looked peaceful and content. For once, he looked like he wasn't worried about anything.

"Stop staring at me," Bellamy mumbled sleepily.

"How did you know I was staring at you?" Clarke chuckled.

Bellamy's eyes fluttered opened slowly. After all this time, Clarke still got butterflies in her stomach when he looked at her with those piercing brown eyes. His arm wrapped around her waist under the blanket, and he pulled her closer to him.

"Because I know you," Bellamy smirked at her.

"We should really get up. We need to start restocking for winter," Clarke told him, but she made no sign of moving.

"You don't need blankets. We have body heat," Bellamy grinned at her.

Clarke rolled her eyes and playfully swatted at his stomach.

"You know what I mean. We need food and any medical supplies we can find," Clarke said.

Bellamy could tell there was something else she wanted to add. He knew what it was she wanted to add, too. Clarke wasn't talking about finding the ark because she didn't want to upset him again, and Bellamy felt guilty. He didn't want to be the reason Clarke never found out what happened to her mom. She would only end up resenting him.

"That's not all we need to find. We've got a whole spaceship to find before winter kicks in," Bellamy sighed. Clarke's eyes widened as she realised what he had said.

"You mean?" Clarke said as she propped herself on her elbow.

"On one condition," Bellamy said, stopping her.

"What?"

"The second we get back, we get married," Bellamy said, raising a brow.

"I have a better idea," Clarke grinned, climbing over him to straddle his hips.

"What's that?" He smiled up at her.

"Let's do it tomorrow before we go," Clarke said as she leant down to kiss him.

"Don't you want to wait until we find the others?" Bellamy asked.

"No. I just want you. I don't care who else is there," Clarke whispered.

"Don't let Octavia hear you say that," Bellamy chuckled as he pulled her down to him. "You really think we can pull this off in a day?"

"We don't need anything special, just each other," Clarke shrugged.

"You can tell my sister. I can't handle anymore squealing," Bellamy told her, and Clarke threw her head back with laughter.

"We'll do it together. Everyone knows we're engaged. They just don't know when the actual day is," Clarke chuckled. She pushed off his chest to sit up straight.

Bellamy gripped her hips, rolling his own against hers. "Can it wait until later?"

Clarke bit down on her lip. "Why? You got other plans this morning?"

"I do," Bellamy nodded. "And they all involve you being naked."

"Oh, yeah?" Clarke smirked. She pulled her shirt off, leaving her in just her underwear. "Like this?"
