@respnsibility Bellamy x Clarke
She had decided to stay, even if every fiber of her being screamed at her to leave - she was still furious at Lexa over Mount Weather, and about letting her philosophy that 'love is weakness' convince her to let a bomb drop on her friends. Polis was the last place where she wanted to be, though she also didn't want to go back to camp, which didn't feel like home, nor she felt like Skaikru anymore.
But then Bellamy came face to face with her, and she looked into his eyes for the first time since she had given herself to Roan to keep him safe.
"She left us to die on that mountain. She will always put her people first. You should come home to yours."
She wanted to say that she was sorry but couldn't leave, she almost did, and then she turned to look at Lexa and Titus, "I need a minute to deal with this." The tone suggested she wasn't too happy, but she was sure Bellamy would forgive her once it was clear they were still a team. And while she didn't want to go home nor stay here, she missed him. As soon as they were alone she nodded, and all she could do to keep herself from hugging him was to take his hand and hold it tightly, so relieved to see him unharmed and there.
"I'm sorry, I needed them to think I didn't want to talk to you. You are right. But I have a plan, and if it goes right, we'll finally be able to live on the ground together with the Grounders, because it will be in their best interest too." It may not be the most honorable move, to use Lexa's obvious attraction for her that way, but she hadn't left her any other choice. "Can you wait a few hours, so we can... go... home...?" Far less confidence in her last request, she had almost forgotten how to be normal around people, than in her strategy.
