YOOO, show me how Bellamy and Clarke are attracted to eachother (S1-S3)
The pilot in the drop ship. Their first sight of each other is basically both of them staring at each other, jaw dropped, before they get around to business of trying to be the boss.
Day trip is about 5 seconds away from one of them pushing the other one up against the wall and making out. Both of them. And it was shot to show, particularly, Bellamy’s attraction to Clarke, and how he tries to shake himself out of it, but continued on to have Clarke leaning back and rocking against the wall, checking him out while he failed to shoot the gun, teasing him all the while.
Unity day is basically Clarke eye fucking him, trying to get him to get get a drink with her, but he’s apparently decided that she’s off limits so he just grins and watches her walk away.
However, he ends up sleeping with a girl who looks exactly like Clarke. She’s in the threesome with Roma. Same hair style even. If you’re not paying attention, you could almost mistake her for Clarke.
He spends the rest of season 1 and season 2 giving her moon eyes when she’s not looking. But their partnership is too important for this to be just sex, so they don’t go there.
Don’t think that lets Clarke off the hook, because she has a hard time not looking at his lips when he’s not talking about. Or his chest. She has never stopped checking him out, from season 1 until season 3. Bellamy almost always refrains from checking her out because that’s the kind of guy he is.
If you want to see how Bellamy and Clarke are attracted to each other, go back and rewatch it, looking for when they look at and touch and tease each other.
And none of this really even addresses season 3, in which their feelings are so far past just sexual attraction that everything is weighted with emotion, although take a look there at every time they touch (which is a whole hell of a lot more touching than it ever was before.) Bellamy is still trying to restrain himself, but you can see it’s harder for him to hold himself back from her.
Listen, I was a Flarker to start. I bought the typical teen romance that they had set up in the first season, so I missed the tension between Bellamy and Clarke the first time, but it’s there. It goes up and down according to what else is going on and who else is involved and how much time they get to spend with each other, but it’s there. It doesn’t go away. It just gets deeper. They turn their attention elsewhere and then when they meet up again, it flares up. They have been building their connection from the very beginning, and it was never actually platonic. They just pushed aside any romantic or sexual feelings they had for each other so that they could survive and lead their people.
And why wouldn’t they be attracted to each other? They are both super hot.
I actually did not want to make this post, because I thought it would be a drag to search through the reaction gifs looking for specific moments from the seasons, especially since so many of them are from the finale right now, but you know what? It wasn’t actually hard to find moments of sexual tension in those gifs at all. Because there are so many of them. I may not have found the particular ones I wanted to show or the particular scenes I was talking about, but there were just lots of others.
