Lone Wolf

Newcomer

The next day goes on much the same as before, except no surprise instruments are found this time. Most things are good as can be. The children in camp are playing, along with Madi, while the delinquents go on about their day. Some even notice their leader and his new found grounder 'friend' going to and from the gate. Bellamy and Clarke have been teasing the other throughout the day, her with his fear of glowing insects, and him with her hesitation to be herself more openly. 

And when the night falls the two find themselves out in the glowing forest again. The teasing had not stopped, instead lessens as the shift in air increases. Clarke had tried to sneak away to play again, but Bellamy followed her once more, this time she didn't try to refuse him. She smiles and nudges playfully as she plays. The peace and tranquility of the moment engulfing them.  Bellamy smiles and stares in awe when she sings. It was actually singing this time and not humming along to the tune. He doesn't quite make out the words yet, seeing as they were in trig, but he listens contently nonetheless. He gets lost in her voice and the notes from the guitar that he has to double back when she stops. Bellamy opens his eyes to see why, and is met with a beautiful sight.

Clarke sitting with her form glowing in shades of blue while a butterfly lands on her shoulder. She gasps and  looks over to see the creature fluttering about before it flies away. Bellamy  grins and watches as she slowly sets down guitar and stands up; another one coming to her as the first circles around her. Bellamy stands and comes to stand closer to her. 

It was too perfect. The glow of the night, Clarke's beaming smile at the beauty around them, her willingness to open up to him more... the peace of the day. Bellamy couldn't have asked for more.

Time seems to stand still as their eyes meet in that moment. Everything stops. Boldly Bellamy steps closer to her, his own smile widening, while his hand holds her own. Clarke looks down at their hands, then at his face. He's hesitant and waiting for a reaction, but relaxes as she ducks her head and shyly smiles at him. After a moment passes she tilts her head to the side clearing her throat. It was awkward, sure, but neither was willing to back down from this new development.

He lets her hand go and steps closer, seeing the way the bio luminescent light shine on her. Her hair and skin glows with it, her eyes glowing more than anything, and its not the wolf. Not this time.

Clarke looks up at him as they stand very close, but instead of running away she lets him hold both of her hands. It was strange and new, yet familiar. She shakes her head and chuckles lightly, looking away. Even in the dark he can see her blush. He squeezes her hand and she looks up, uncertain. Their eyes meet and they both lean forward. 

Clarke furrows her brows but doesn't pull away, how could she? Bellamy steps closer, leaning forward more and her breathing quickens, but she still stays. 

It was now or never. Who knew how much time they had left before something else rocked the little bubble they started to form in camp? It was comfortable, safe, and too good to be true. Who knew how much longer it would last? Certainly not Bellamy or Clarke. It was time to stop running and face reality.

 Just before his lips brush against hers something burst in the sky. Then they see the rocket landing a mile away.Clarke looks shaken up and pulls away from Bellamy before running off in that direction. Seeing as the moment was gone, he huffs and sighs before trying to catch up with her.

"Clarke!" He hisses and she slows down. 

"Sorry." He chuckles and runs to her side, a brief moment of awkwardness before she gestures with her head they need to go. He clears his throat and nods, both jogging in the direction of the rocket. 

When they reach the clearing Clarke halts immediately. Bellamy does the same and huffs a laugh. "They're still alive." As he says this Clarke's looks confused.
