"Want to come to fight a war just like old times?""Raven and Murphy are in trouble, six-day hike through sandstorm country, gladiator cults, Ave's optimistic attitude about war...What could go wrong?"
"So much. Literally so much."
When Bellamy and I exit the building night has begun to set. Despite the radiation filled clouds I catch a glimpse of the stars which shine beyond the atmosphere. Twinkles of silver amongst the darkness. I use to think they were such a bore to look at. Growing up in space you never have much else to observe outside. Yet now I find myself wishing I was up there to live amongst them once more. Returning to meet Octavia I don't miss the way Miller watches me. When he glances warily between Bellamy and I there is not a doubt in my mind he knows something is up.
"I haven't seen you and Bellamy act this plutonic since it was only the hundred of us", Miller comments quietly as I stand beside him. Feeling him nudge me I roll my head around, meeting Miller's curious gaze "What's up?"
Trusting Miller, I murmur just as quietly "He's in love with Echo." If I didn't express how astonished and sour I felt about it, Miller certainly does. Only his face doesn't give away the hurt I'm feeling inside. Instead it morphs into one of rage. Over the years Miller's become something of an older brother to me. He's stepped up and fallen into the place which use to hold Wick and Finn. Judging from the hardened expression he wears I know for a fact Miller understands how to hurt I am. He's the one who always wiped away my tears.
