I everybody ! I'm new in the fandom and after the Kabby kiss in the promo I couldn't help but write something about it ! This fic will be a collection of One-shot ( because yes I already have a lot of prompt in my mind ). I write since nearly 12 years but in french, so please don't jugde me too harshly because I've studied english at school but I wasn't very good :/

I did my best but I'm sure there are mistakes. I hope you enjoy it anyway ^^

1. A sign of hope

Abby crossed a tired hand on her face and let escape a deep sigh. The situation at camp Jaha was becoming out of control. Since they came back from Mount Weather and the announcement of some children's death, the woman could feel the discontent began to rise among the people. The rumor of grounders' treason hadn't taken long to be known by everyone in camp Jaha and it has definitively sparked things off. A small group of dissidents had begun to meet secretly and their number was increasing every day.

" Maybe we should organize an election ... A debate would certainly allow us to get to listen to reason to a lot of people. ", Abby proposed, her eyes raising towards Marcus.

He shook negatively his head as he continued to walk in the room with anxiety written on his face. He was tense. Abby knew perfectly he was fighting to hold back his anger.

" They are guided by their feelings, by their sorrow ! The loss of the children is still too recent, they are unfit to hear reasonable arguments for now ... We will be ejected of the council and then nothing will prevent Pike of entailing all of us into a war that we cannot win ! ", he answered, resting his hands on the central table.

" So, what are you propose? ", she asked him with a suspicious look.

They knew each other for a long time and, despite the way Kane had changed his state of mind since they arrived on earth, Abby perfectly knew he continued to tend towards the radical solutions." The majority of the guards are still on our side... for the moment at least. We should take advantage of it. It's necessary to arrest the leaders and offer them a choice: they submit themselves or they definitely leave the camp! ", he answered with determination, staring at her.

Abby shook immediately her head and took a step towards him.

" You can't be serious! Banish the uprising's leaders would mean banish their families too ! They would leave with women and children! We don't know in which state of mind the natives are and with the winter which approaches, let these people leave the camp would mean sentencing them to death ! ", she retorted, slightly raising her voice." I know ! ", he whispered, his eyes now fixed on the ground.

Abby knew that Marcus had never taken this kind of decision thoughtlessly. He had probably thinking about it all night long, thinking about all the alternatives they had." But it's the only solution ! We can't wait ! They could organize a mutiny any minute now and in this case we could be banished or worse. ", he continued, looking at her right in the eyes.

Abby crossed her arms on her breast and rolled her eyes. Marcus was probably right, but she couldn't stop thinking he had the bad habit to always exaggerate things.

"You heard Jackson ! Pike spends his time to tell everyone that we betrayed our people by accepting an alliance with the natives. With the murderers of their children ... You know what the Exodus' charter provides for the treason. Here they can't make us float, but it will not prevent them from killing us!", he added seriously, before biting his lips which testified of the anger he was trying to contain.

"No they won't ! ", she retorted him, instinctively.

Marcus let escape a short, bitter laugh.

"Really? Are you certain of that ?", he asked cynically, raising an eyebrow at her.

Abby stared at him. As usual he had the knack of getting on her nerves, to irritate her while it clearly wasn't the time to go into a nth sterile quarrel. She would have wanted to answer him in the affirmative. To tell him their people were civilized enough and reasonable to ban the death penalty now their back to earth. To understand they had done their best to save the children. However, she suddenly remembered an incident. A little more than a week earlier a man had appeared at the medical. He had asked her to come and see his wife who refused to feed since she has been informed of their son's death.

The woman, Sacha, had refuse to talk to her. She had remained silent, prostrated, her eyes fixed on the wall in front of her. Abby hadn't insisted and she had only give to her husband some vitamins and food complements. However, when she had left the room, she had heard a whisper behind her. She didn't have really paid attention to it, but now she realized the word treason had been saying.

Abby sighed profoundly. She refused to doubt to her people. She did it before and it had ended by Jake's death. However, if Kane was right, she had, as chancellor, to take her responsibilities." I will tell them I gave you the order. That it was I who sent you to negotiate with Lexa. That it was my first order after you decided to make me chancellor. ", she said abruptly, face expressionless.

Marcus' eyes opened wide and he moved away of the table to get closer to her." It's out of the question ! I I forbid you to do that! ", he exclaimed, grabbing her elbow.

Abby frowned and removed violently her arm." You forbid me? Who do you think you are for forbid me to do something ? I don't take orders from you ! I'm the chancellor ! ", she declared with anger, raising slightly her head to be able to fix him straight in the eyes.

" I won't let you ! ", he asserted, moving one step closer to her.

«If what you are saying is true and if somebody has to assume the consequences of this decision, then I would take my responsibility. If somebody has to die to calm things down, then it will be me, only me! I never thought I'd say this, but you are a good leader Marcus. You know how to be listened and Lexa respect you more than me. They will need you if things goes wrong... », she said with a lump in her throat.

«They'll need you too ! We'll need you too ! I...I'll need you too !», he responded, his voice slowly faded away.

«No...», she breathed with a sad smile across her face.

«Jackson can replace me to medical. I armed some irresponsible kids and because of that innocents people died ! My daughter doesn't need me anymore and she'll never forgive me for her father's death...I'm no longer useful !», she added tears in her eyes.

«How can you be so stubborn ?! So blind ?», he exploded with more pain than anger on his face.

«We didn't go through all of this for letting a tyrant like Pike screw up all we have tried to build ! I just can't watch you give up like this, not now ! How can you think I will let you put yourself in danger ! I'll never again let anybody hurt you ! Do you hear me Abby ? Never ! », he shouted, his voice shaking with emotion.

Abby remained silent, both surprise and touched. She never saw him out of control like this. Well, maybe just once... She remembered his look when she was tortured in Mount Weather. His face had been only horror and misery. She hadn't taken her eyes off him while they were shredded her knee and she'd never be able to forget his expression.

She opened her mouth to speak, but the words were stuck in her throat. She was never able to think correctly when he was looking at her like if he cared for her. Maybe he did...in fact she knew he did...But with such intensity ?

During a second she thought he was about to leave, to end the conversation by running away from her, but he didn't. She blinked and her eyes opened just in time to see him pouncing on her. Her lips reflexively parted as his mouth crashed onto hers. The force made Abby stumble back a step, but Marcus' hand on her cheek kept her in place. Her brain froze and her heart took over. She grabbed the back of his head and let her hand slipped in his hair.

Abby felt Marcus' arm wrapped around her shoulder and she automatically melt into his embrace, tilting her head and deepening the kiss. She didn't think, she just felt. Felt his soft lips again her own. Felt his gentle beard stroke over her skin. Felt his strength overwhelm her. Felt his scent invading her senses... She never thought of him like that for decades... Or rather she didn't let herself think of him like that for decades. But right now it felt like the most natural thing in the world.

Her heart was bounding in her chest and her legs were trembling. She tightened her grip around Marcus and opened her mouth to allow her tongue to find his. Passion sparked instantly and she let escaped a soft moan. Several burning memories of their youth together came back to her mind and she felt her lower belly catch fire. It was just a kiss, but she was about to lose her mind, especially as she felt one of Marcus' hand slide along the bottom of her shirt, brushing again her bare skin.

When oxygen had completely deserted their lungs, they finally broke the kiss. They were both breathing heavily, their foreheads against each other as they tried to catch their breath. Her eyes were still closed, but she could feel his on her face. She didn't want this to end. She wanted to stay in his arm as long as possible because for the first time since Jake's death she has forgotten all her pain, all her fears, all her despair... For the first time in years she felt alive !«Abby...I...I'm sorry...I shouldn't...», Marcus said as his hands started to leave Abby's body.

She shacked her head, her eyes still closed as she leaned against him, her face buried in his neck.

«Don't ! Don't apologize for this...», she whispered , her lips brushing softly against his pulse point.

Marcus nodded briefly and one second later hisarms was once again wrapped around Abby's shoulders.

«Just promise me you won't do anything that would endanger you !», he claimed before kissing the top of her head.

«Only if you promise me to do the same.», she responded, stepping back to gaze into his eyes.

Marcus nodded with a soft smile on his lips, before kissing her once more.

They stayed there for a long time, wrapped into each other arms, sharing loving kiss and tenders caresses. They remained silent, enjoying this intimacy, both knowing this will end, had to end in the minute they will leave the room. It wasn't the time to weaken, to allow themselves to be distracted and to offer to Pike a new pressure tactic... But in Abby's mind it wasn't just a moment of weakness or a lack of control, it meant something more... like a sign of hope. A sign that one day, when the time comes, they could be more than just friends...
