BLAKE:
❛ i’ve got a reason. to hate you and the princess. ❜ it was only logical for bellamy to hate anyone associated with the council. even if wells hadn’t done anything personally, his father had. ❛ so you would have refused the seat? i don’t buy it. i have a feeling you’d do anything he tells you to do. ❜
“ course i would. i’m the obedient son, right? guess that’s why i’m down here. ”
his sarcasm doesn’t bely how many holes he can poke in the claim. if it were a boat, it’d be at the bottom of the sea by now. “ or do you think it’s NORMAL for a chancellor to imprison his son and send him down to a potential death? get over yourself, blake. you’re not half as smart as you think you are. ”
TROUBLE:
[ you don’t understand ]
his hands moved in a blur of motion, gestures & motions that was SPEECH but knowing that the words would be lost on the other boy. his signs are short, clipped, everything about his body language & facial expressions DISMISSIVE.
they weren’t aboard the ark, nor were they upstanding citizens. each one of them were criminals. delinquents. laws & rules meant nothing now. it was who was stronger that held all the power. peace, negotiation, diplomacy – it had no place in their camp.
grey pointed again to his tattoos, one which read STRENGTH then the other which read POWER, in the effort to get his point across.
he can’t imagine he understands everything the other boy MEANS to convey, but the word POWER isn’t lost on him. “ and how much STRENGTH are we gonna have when we’re fighting amongst ourselves, and can’t stand together against whatever WHOEVER is out there? ”
“ we can’t survive alone, and the sooner you all realize that, the better off we’re gonna be. ” a house divided wouldn’t survive the coming storm.
OCTAVIA:
❛ did you just basically lawyer-up in casual conversation about throwing a remote? ❜ she rolls her eyes, lifting the coffee to her lips again for another sip. she was friends with some weird people. ❛ fights between you and clarke must be a blast. ❜
“ oh i don’t FIGHT with clarke. cause i’m not stupid, and lookin’ to lose. ”
( he KNOWS better )
BLAKE:
❛ this is the second time you’ve tried to hint at me wanting something to do with your dick. sounds a bit WISHFUL at this point. do you have something to confess, wells? i mean, this here is a safe place. i won’t laugh at you. much. ❜
“ you’re the one telling me clarke’s been giving you the LOWDOWN on what i’ve got in my pants. don’t put that on me man. ”
OCTAVIA:
call her cynical but she has to laugh bitterly at that. to her, leadership didn’t mean caring. leadership meant control & power. it meant putting people in charge that made choices that were good for them but not the rest. then following the choices with justifications about not having any other choice. ❛ i’ll believe that when i see it. ❜
“ i know the ark didn’t treat everyone well, but we have the chance to make that right. and maybe do better. all it takes is people willing to make a difference. ”
his shoulders budged and he spared her a look. some of them were born into cynicism. it’s circumstance. and something they couldn’t help. but if things were going to get better, they had to learn to let go of the idea that they couldn’t.
BLAKE:
bellamy shrugs at his words but it’s meant to be in solidarity rather than coming off apathetic to the younger boy mourning his father. because bellamy GOT IT, he honestly did. he was just kind of shit at this emotional stuff, ❛ my mom wasn’t that great either. she tried– sometimes– but she was always so focused on supplying us with the material shit we needed she never thought about the other stuff. especially when it came to o. but she was still my mother & i still miss her sometimes. we still mourned her. it’s normal. ❜
even though her lack of emotional parenting left it all on bellamy. the hugs, the comfort, the love. holding octavia when she woke up from nightmares. rocking the new born baby back & forth while begging her to be quiet before someone came to investigate. she was maybe the only person he didn’t totally suck at being emotional with ( & even then that was arguable now ).
( maybe it’s because with bellamy so busy taking care of o, no one took care of him ).
❛ he’s not your only family, though. not anymore. ❜
it’s like a hollowness in the bones, a heavy weight on his shoulders, and something swollen in his throat. he doesn’t cry and he SHOULD. it has nothing to do with being seen, or by whom. somewhere along the line loss had become so commonplace, and he almost wished it stole as much from him now as it used to. ( if anything it’d make him feel human ) hands firm against his knees, he gave himself a second before he raised his head. a life had been lost. but there were still some they could save. and that was worth MORE than mourning. “ in that case, clarke and i need to talk to her mother, and kane. we’ve still got people in that mountain. and so do the grounders. ”
TROUBLE:
grey arched a rather unimpressed eyebrow at the other boys suggestion. certainly it was admirably PEACEFUL. but peace wasn’t something that grey had been afforded often.
he pointed to wells, an offhanded effort to ask whether or not this someone he was supposed to tell was him.
he followed the gesture and let the notion ROLL over in his head. maybe he wasn’t the best choice to lean on. “ if you need to, i’m here. better that than having to pull you off some kid who’s getting a kick out of newfound freedom. ”
( he had to WONDER if blake’s declaration was a stupid impulse, or if he’d intended this )
CLARKE:
“ The last time I gave you my burden to carry you betrayed me and dropped it completely. ”
The words were harsh, Clarke’s tone dripping with spite. Her intention was to hurt him. To let him know that despite coming down here, sacrificing his life on the Ark, it didn’t bring back her father. It didn’t make her forgive him. Her bottom lip quivered. The way it always did when she was hurt and trying to hide it. A mixture of complete physical and emotional exhaustion, that what being on the ground the last few days had given her. And looking at him, all she LONGED for was the simple understanding and support he was giving her, and yet she couldn’t find it in herself to take it.
“ I don’t have to like you, but I do have to trust you. ”
“ and you still can trust me. i won’t let you down. some part of you still knows that, right? ”
( he couldn’t have LOST her forever ) he looked at her and he saw family. some stable part of his life. a fixed point. and that WASN'T supposed to change. “ clarke please. ”
OCTAVIA:
❛ it’s harder to forgive when a leaders bad decisions hurt you. ❜ his dad being the reason she was put under the floor just for being born being on example. clarke being another. ❛ leaders need someone to keep them balanced. it can’t all just fall on one person. ❜
“ I KNOW. ”
god did he know. he’d seen it all happen, but it’d never hit home as BLUNTLY as it had when he’d asked his father about clarke’s. when he’d heard him decide to float a man who’d been a present part of their lives. ( a FRIEND --- ) “ we need leaders who care about all of us. ”
BLAKE:
❛ yeah & you aren’t your dad. ❜
bellamy trusted him– on some level. just as he had grown to trust clarke. still, it got under his skin when they tried to order him around ( like they were on different levels; like he was BELOW them ) but, over all, the two alphas had come to mean something to him. all of these people had.
❛ & mourning is mourning, ❜ he shrugs.
a shuddered breath made it past his lips at the weight of the statement. one he doesn’t think he’s ever heard. whether in APPRAISAL or SCORN, people have always seen his father reflected in him. ( it’d been HARD to feel like his own person ) “ maybe he wasn’t the best man. ”
“ but he was my dad. he was all the family i had left. ”
OCTAVIA:
she doesn’t comment on the fact that it’s bellamy’s idea of flirting ❛ normally, i would believe you and let you blame him. but i think i heard someone threaten to throw a remote at the other during last weeks game. ❜
“ seeing and hearing something are two different things, and you’ll have to talk to my lawyer about that distinction. ”
he parts with a wry smile, elbows leant against his knees and his hands clasped.
BLAKE:
❛ i don’t think you realize how CONVINCING we blakes are. ❜
him & octavia both but in different ways, too. while bellamy’s was purely silver tongue, octavia was good at understanding someone & using empathy ( or, in most cases, a very convincing sad face– which she MOST LIKELY would use on clarke ).
cue a mild crease in his brow. “ see one of you’d have to LEAN on her about that. and i’m not sure i wanna think about you or your sister asking my roommate about my dick. so unless you got something to confess --- ”
BLAKE:
cue a snort,
❛ sure, okay. if you had a big dick, clarke would have spilled the beans to octavia already & she would have then spilled them to me. none of your secrets are safe with them, jaha. not a one. ❜
bellamy, however, grins & the calls & promptly takes a swig of beer.
“ assuming i go around EXPOSING myself to anyone i call a friend, clarke’s a whole lot better at keeping her mouth shut than you think --- ”
( even if he wouldn’t put it past her )
BLAKE:
❛ maybe that’s why i didn’t last very long. ❜ bellamy doesn’t mention that he had only pursued the career in order to keep his sister safe. if he was on the guard, he would know when routine check-ups were, and his mother wouldn’t have to sleep around — unless it were of her own doing. ❛ we didn’t all have a seat on the COUNCIL waiting for us. ❜
“ you can hate me without having to prove you’ve got reasons, especially bad ones. even if my dad GUARANTEED a chair for me, i’d still have to want it. and i was never interested in politics. i’m not the one down here acting like a LEADER. ” or trying to
