"Hey, Clarke. Can I talk to you for a minute?"

The group was back at camp and had mostly dispersed, but Octavia still wanted to get the blonde alone for a minute.

"Yeah, of course."

"I don't know what Bell did and didn't tell you," Octavia started. "But I think you should know that when he was waiting for you to wake up he was terrified that you weren't going to... I doubt he'd admit it, but I could tell. And I heard him talking to your body, begging you to wake up when he thought I wasn't there... And I could barely get him to leave you to go get some sleep."

Clarke didn't seem to know what to say to that.

"I know that he messed up. He knows that too," Octavia pointed out. "But I still think that you should give him a chance… If you tell him that I said this then I'll deny everything, but as annoying and overprotective and stupid as he can be, he's worth it."

Clarke spotted Bellamy smiling over at her and returned the gesture as she headed towards him.

When she stopped in front of him, she found that she was standing a little closer to him than she usually would. His hands moved to Clarke's hips as he ducked his head down towards hers.

Clarke's lips twitched up and she let out a little embarrassed laugh as she turned her face away and complained, "Bellamy. Stop."

"Why? Is this my punishment for shooting you?" He questioned with a smirk as he pulled back. "Because if so, then Finn had better be getting the same punishment. I'd be alright with a no kissing rule, as long as it ends when he's old and grey or dead… I've got plenty of time to wait."

Clarke shook her head, pretending to be more unimpressed with him than she truly was. Truth be told, she was having a hard time trying to hold back her laughter at how chipper he suddenly was. It was strange seeing Bellamy acting almost giddy.

"Hey, I wonder if immortals can have kids," Bellamy pondered aloud. "I mean I'm not saying that we should try right away. I'm just saying that as the only two immortals around, we should probably give it a lot of tries to be sure. It's our responsibility as lab rats. We have to try. For science."

"Really? For science?" Clarke challenged with a raised eyebrow. "That's your best Bellamy Blake pick-up line? That I should have sex with you for science?"

"That depends on whether it works or not," he pointed out.

"I was locked alone in a cell for almost a year because I wouldn't hide the information that the high-ups on the Ark wanted me to," she retorted. "Do you really think that I'll sleep with you just because we're their experimental Adam and Eve down here?"

"Well I'd hope not just because we're their human guinea pigs," Bellamy responded. "That sounds a bit demeaning… Plus you're the one who was insisting on getting to Mount Weather and keeping the bracelets on. Sorry, but you're not exactly the shining example of a rule-breaker."

"You're right," she told him in a teasing tone. "I should take control… Revolt against what the Ark wants. Now's my perfect opportunity to fight back."

"On second thought, the Ark would never want a Princess like you anywhere near a commoner like me," Bellamy insisted. "Especially one who shot Jaha and snuck onto the drop-ship... You're revolting either way, really. It's just a question of which way you'd prefer."

Clarke laughed as she asked him, "Did you really think that you were going to wind up dead from kissing me?"

He just gave her a non-committal shrug in response.

"You realize that being together would impair our ability to make decisions as leaders, right?" She questioned. "And that it would undermine our authority with the rest of the camp?"

"In case you haven't noticed, you already have the power to change my mind about decisions," Bellamy pointed out. "And I'm pretty sure that I already undermined my own authority when I shot you in front of everyone, but they're still going to listen to us because they're afraid of the fact that we can't die."

He pulled back from her, removing his hands from where they had still been resting in her hips, "Just think about it."

He backed up a few steps before turning to walk away.

"Bellamy," she called after him to stop him.

He paused and turned to look at her again without a word.

Clarke stepped forward, closing the distance between them and bringing her lips to his.

The kiss didn't last long, since most of the camp was watching and there was some definite whooping coming from the area where Jasper and Monty were sitting together, but it was still enough to bring an almost dopey grin to Bellamy's lips.

"Who would have thought that the way to get a girl was by publicly shooting her," Jasper commented as he watched the pair.

"Hey, maybe you should try that on Octavia," Monty suggested jokingly.

"Shut up," Jasper responded with a roll of his eyes. "It's not like you have girls lined up to get a slice of you."

"I could," Monty countered. "I just don't try."

"Right, I'm sure," Jasper agreed as he let out a laugh at his friend's expense.

When Clarke got Bellamy away from the crowd and alone later, she gave him a kiss that was much more intense. It was a kiss that led them all the way from the entry of his tent to his bed. The kiss only broke after they were already on the bed, her on top of him with her legs straddling his hips, as he moved to remove her shirt.

She worked fast, removing his shirt as well. This time her eyes didn't shy away and she instead stared at him, completely unashamed this time.

"I don't want to kill the mood," Bellamy told her. "But just to clarify, did that science line work or is this for me?"

Clarke shook her head and rolled her eyes as a small smile played at her lips.

"This isn't for science," she told him before silencing him with another kiss.

The End

A/N: Please read and review! This was the last chapter of this story, but I'm almost positive that at some point I'm going to write some (probably one-shot) sequels set different amounts of years in the future. So when I do start with the sequels, I'll probably update this story with a chapter that's just a note telling you guys that there's a sequel if you want to read it.

Thanks so much for reading the story and a ginormous thanks goes out to Dark-Supernatural-Angel, mhernandez5, Emmmmmaniac, lino15, EmLouD, Rapunzels, Wright, and thatgirrrl for reviewing last chapter! :)
