A/N: For @strawwolf who loves an arranged marriage AU. Fun fact, I love reading arranged marriage fics but really struggled with an idea for one, so hopefully this does the job. Happy Bellarke Valentines!
As government rulings go Bellamy thinks this is a pretty bad one.
“It’s like something out of a military state.” He complains.
“But happening globally.” Miller adds.
It has been two months since the world changed and in the great tradition of big changes everywhere most things have stayed the same. Like Friday nights at the bar, Raven is still sitting on his left, Miller is serving him, the music is still five years out of date.
“Doesn’t mean it’s not bad.” Bellamy counters.
“Hey dude, I didn’t say it wasn’t bad just less of a military state type thing if it’s happening all around the world.”
“Not to be the “but the Nazis” girl... But the Nazis were global and bad. So there is precedent.” Raven adds.
“This isn’t that though. Right?” Miller asks his forehead creasing with worry.
“No.” Bellamy says firmly, “but not to be the history nerd here...”
“You are literally always the history nerd, lean in.” Raven teases, holding her glass up to Miller for a fake toast.
“As I was saying, as a general rule anything that starts with people having to put their names on a list doesn’t end well.”
“So you’ve heard the latest.” Clarke says sitting down next to Raven with a big sigh.
