Before I Die

Chapter 8

Summary:

In this chapter you'll see that a lot of things are happening and yes I need to focus more on the plot than on bellarke, because as much as I love them, to make this book more appealing I need to start writing other people's pov's so for future reference I'm probably gonna fo Clarke's, Murphy's and Tony's pov's

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

After what felt like forever Clarke finally came back, it was the afternoon.

 

 

“Hey! I’m so sorry by the way for leaving without notifying you.” she said with an adorable look on her face. And he didn’t knew if in that moment he was still mad at her. He nodded and looked away, watching the show. After a moment of silence she sighed and sat besides him.

 

 

“You’re mad at me.” she stated, looking straight into his brown eyes. He shook his head, not saying a word to her. When he once again looked away from her, Clarke scoffed and went to the kitchen. The only response she got from Bellamy was. “I was worried.” he whispered.

 

 

“About what? Bellamy we’re not in a war, nor are our lives at risk. We are in the safest place I can think of." she said, clearly annoyed with him.

 

 

“I’m just not used to safety.” he shortly answered, not wanting to continue this conversation.

 

 

“Weren’t you on a space ship for six years, living in peace?” she snapped. Bellamy scoffed and let out a quiet chuckle, knowing that it would piss her off. “I was the one tortured for months, so don’t act like a fucking asshole and talk to me.” and in that moment he felt like guilty — he totally forgot about that.

 

 

“Look, I’m sorry for acting like that, but even though I lived in space with no war… I felt like someone could kill me in the middle of the night, because if you don’t remember Echo was up there too.” she bursted out laughing her ass off.

 

 

“Didn’t you two screwed in space? Or was I having hallucinations when Raven gossiped about it to me?” she said.

 

 

“We are not doing that right now, Clarke.” he growled.

 

 

“Oh I think we are, this is the perfect moment for that.” she said a little bit louder. “She tried to kill your sister twice! She tried to kill you twice! She tried to kill everyone living in Camp Jaha. Did you get amnesia or something up there, was it the algae that made you such a big idiot?!” she screamed.

 

 

 

“Don't you think I know that?! I was lonely and I didn't know what to do! There was no one to protect anymore or no one to fight. I was going crazy up there, and knowing then that you were supposedly dead was fucking killing me!” he screamed to her, him towering her.

 

 

“Even after six years, you are still the fuckboy I met at the drop ship almost eight years ago.” she looked up at him.

 

 

“I am a fuckboy.” he stated. “And because of that I can do this.” in less than a second Bellamy pulled Clarke up and she immediately wrapped her legs around his waist, his hands landed on her ass — their faces inches away from her. She smirked and put her right hand into his hair, slightly pulling it.

 

 

“And what are going to do now, huh?” she smirked, and holy shit that did it for him. Bellamy straight off ran to their bedroom with her in his arms. Clarke giggled all the way, because it must’ve been hilarious seeing them from a different angle. He threw her on the bed and immediately came on top of her. He kissed her, this time slowly with passion — her soft lips touching his.

 

 


 

 

 

 

This time no one left earlier, they laid in the bed until they woke up — 7:38pm. Bellamy’s stomach touching her back, his hand on her waist — it was really comfortable. When he woke up, a big smile rose onto his face, he was sleeping with the girl of his dreams (literally).

 

 

Bellamy started lightly kissing her neck, smiling while doing it. After a moment she sighed and said with a morning voice. “Good morning.”

 

 

“Hi.” he whispered, then he kissed her cheek. She let out an adorable voice, slowly turning, so she could look at him. “So what is this?” she asked.

 

“I don’t know, you tell me.” Bellamy answered teasingly. “I really, really like you, just so you know.”

 

 

She growled. “Oh, well…I don’t know if I want to be with a guy who doesn’t know what the shortcut omw or wtf means-“ she couldn’t finish her sentence, because Bellamy started tickling her immensely, Clarke couldn’t stop her laughter. “Stop! Bell please-“ he stopped, because his hands started shaking out of laughter. They laughed for about fifteen minutes, after it stopping, they laid there looking at each other lovingly.

 

 

“Wow.” she said, while chuckling.

 

 

“What?”

 

 

“This is strange.” she said looking into his eyes. Bellamy furrowed in confusion, because in some way this whole world was odd, but this? This was one of the best things that ever happened to him. “You know, I’m in a big bed with an asshole… fuckboy, who was always getting on my nerves.” she said, with a smirk.

 

 

 

“Well, I guess you have a thing for douchebags.” he said, smirking. She push him away from his, but Bellamy being the biggest cuddly person, he took her on top of him, still smiling from ear to ear. Clarke’s hand started his little scar on his lips, and in that

moment nothing else mattered, there were just the two of them, no one else.

 

 

 

“I-“ he stopped himself before he could let the three words slip out of his mouth, surprisingly she didn’t seem to notice. He kissed her passionately. Bellamy wanted Clarke to understand how much he cared about her and how much important she was to him. She looked at him and in that moment he realized that no words were needed here.

 

 


 

 

 

 

He woke up before her this time, she was laying on her stomach, her whole bare back was exposed and sheets were covering her around her waist, Bellamy took a second to admire her gorgeous body and face, he still didn’t believe fully that this girl who he was protecting at all cost and who he did not deserve was laying on the same bed as him — peacefully, not caring of there’s anyone to save or if the world was ending. His hair was probably messy, but he didn’t care, he kept his eyes on Clarke, still asleep, but slowly waking up. After a couple of minutes laying besides her, playing with the ends of her hair, tucking and untucking it behind her ear. She finally woke up, her blue eyes locked with his brown ones, her little smile was soft.

 

 

“Hi.” she said with her morning voice, touching his cheek lightly.

 

 

“Hey.” he said while wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her towards him, her smiled became bigger, and her hands landed on his chest. They kept smiling at each other like the idiots they were, he let out a quiet chuckle, and pulled her for a soft kiss, a little moan escaped from her lips as she deepened it, Bellamy pulled Clarke on top of him, his hands landed on her lower back, almost on her ass, but he was being respectful and didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable, even thought the sex the other night was… they were touching each other everywhere.

 

 

Her hand, landed on top of his and she pulled it on her ass, squizzing it together, Bellamy let out a growl and sat up, still kissing her. He was already hard so her sitting and grinding on top of him was making it harder not to come right here and there.

 

 

“I love waking up with you.” he said, while sucking gently on her neck, she hummed in response and a load moan escaped her mouth when he sucked behind her ear. Bellamy started moving towards her chest, kissing every inch of her skin on the way, both of his hands were on the underside of her breasts, slowly moving upwards. Clarke kept grinding on top of him, this time she was impatient, he could see that, so when her hands slid under his shirt, Bellamy immediately took it off, then he grabbed her by the waist so now he was on top. It was actually a big turn on for him on how both of them were pretty dominant in bed and these little, wordless fights they had made him hard every time.

 

 

Everything was perfect until the phone started ringing, Clarke groaned and pushed Bellamy off of her to get her phone.

 

 

“What?!” she answered, clearly annoyed. Her face changed from sleepy and a little bit angry to shocked and maybe terrified. What? he mouthed to her, but she just looked at him terrified and shook her head. “Yeah, we’ll be there in a minute.” she answered quickly, she threw her phone on the nightstand and started dressing up. Clarke threw his shirt at him and said. “Hurry, we need to get back.”

 

“What- what is happening?” Bellamy asked.

 

 

“Something went wrong in the lab and now there’s some bad guy we need to kill.” she quickly said, but he knew that wasn’t the whole truth. By his unconvinced face, she sighed and continued. “Tony was making this robot that could help us in a lot of ways, but it turns out that his destiny is to destroy all the Avengers, a project gone wrong we could say.”

 

 

“So basically Stark made a killer machine that wants to kill all of you.” he asked, and Clarke nodded. “Does this happen often?”

 

 

“No, of course not, besides this robot could help us a lot, but not everything nor everyone is perfect.” she quickly said and ran to the living room, he followed her with a raised brow. “Not even Avengers.” she stated. “Now. Let’s. Go!” she raised her voice angrily.

 

 


 

 

 

The drive back she was silent, he didn’t ask any questions nor did he even fully look at her. Clarke changed in a time span of 5 minutes from soft and lovely to cold and angry.

 

 

“We shouldn’t have come here.” she finally stated, after not talking for solid two hours. She wasn’t looking at him, her face was numb, maybe a little anxious. “This whole trip was a mistake.” she whispered.

 

 

“I’m sorry.” Bellamy said.

 

 

“No! Don’t apologize to me. It’s not your fault at all, I wanted to surprise you and take you away from the city and all of that. You were overwhelmed with everything in there so I tried—“ she stopped, shaking her head. That didn’t change in her — she blamed herself for everything. Bellamy didn’t know what to reply, but he was sure that it wasn’t her fault that she wanted to take a break and take him with her, she made him happy for those couple days, he was in his little own paradise. The only thing now he was thinking about was if their whole relationship that started in that house was just a one time thing and if she regretted all of it, because Bellamy was certain that he wasn’t.

 

 

 

“Pull over.” he said sternly.

 

 

“What? Bellamy we can’t we-“

 

 

“Pull over.” he said it louder and i came out as a harsh response, but he did not care in that moment. She obeyed and pulled over on a station — no one else was there.

 

 

“What do you want?” she asked annoyed, she turned to look at him. He touched her cheek and caressed is gently, she looked at him, a tear threatening to spill, everything melted away in that moment, there were just the two of them.

 

 

“You are the most important person in my life, princess. At we didn’t like each other and that’s no secret, we were co-leaders in a post apocalyptic world at such a young age, then after not a long time I realized that there wasn’t just Octavia that I was protective of or that I was constantly worried about - it was also you. Then because of war and other stuff we were pulled apart, we needed to make hard choices and sacrifices, some of them held consequences, like, our friends hating us or even our own family, but you? You were always with me, even when we were on the opposite sides, you always believed in me. You understood me, and forgave me for things that no one else would. That’s why you became my best friend… my other half, because the truth is that without you I wasn’t a leader, I was a broken nobody who drank himself almost to death after his best friends supposed death. Never in my whole life have I thought that there would be another person who I cared about as much as I cared about Octavia.” he let out a long sigh, because he never made such a big, emotional confession to someone.

 

 

Clarkes eyes widened, she looked like she wanted to say something, but shut her mouth quickly. Then after staring at Bellamy she let out a small laugh, her voice broke a little, but then she kissed him so passionately, that he could just stay there forever. After a few minutes of kissing she landed in his lap, and they started making out, his hands went under her shirt, but she stopped him.

 

 

“No, we can’t. Not now.” she whispered, Bellamy nodded, because they were on their way to help the others not to make out in the car. She sat in her seat and started driving, and for fucks sake not talking to him at all.

 

 


 

 

 

When they finally arrived they were met with an angry Tony and Steve fighting about something. Clarke already magically knew what it was about, she went up to them with Bellamy following her.

 

 

 

“— philanthropist, playboy.” Tony said.

 

 

Surprisingly, Clarke didn’t step in and stop them, she exchanged few looks with Nat and went to stand besides her and Thor with her arms crossed. It weirded him out and others who stood with him — Raven, Harper and Monty also Murphy, but he was enjoying the fight that was going on. Even after living there for half a year they were separated into the Avengers and spacekru — Bellamy standing with his people and Clarke with hers, he looked up to see Clarke with a smug smirk on her face — they were enjoying it, while Raven and him were about to step in and stop them, but it wasn’t their place to do so.

 

 

Then he saw that everyone became quiet, something was off, then he saw Bruce with an odd item in his hand. Clarke, Thor and Nat’s smirks faded and their faces became serious.

 

 

“Put it down, Banner.” Fury sternly said to him with a hand on his gun, not pointing it at him. Bruce realized he had been holding it and immediately put it back, everyone calmed down, even Bellamy who didn’t know what the hell this thing was, but if all of them became quite serious — which they never were, was a reason to grow alerted. Clarke let out a sigh she’s been holding and the others relaxed, Tony and Steve were still looking at each other, but didn’t start the fight, both of them went separate ways and others did too. When Clarke was about to leave, Bellamy gripped her wrist and stopped her.

 

 

“Meet me in ten in my room.” she said and walked away from him.

When he walked up to her room, he didn’t even bother knocking, but when he went, he regretted it almost immediately or did he? She was standing next to her bed, only with a towel around her, he froze, even though he saw her naked, it wasn’t his place to just barge into her room like this. But her reaction shocked him the most — she smirked and walked up to him slowly. When she was finally in front of him, Clarke kissed his cheek, his hands landed on he waist, and he looked at her beautiful face. The confidence finally busted into his organism and he pulled her so now he legs were wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck. She giggled softly into his neck, hugging him while he went in the direction of her bed. When he threw her onto it she giggled once more and he went on top of her, smiling cheekily. Their kiss was all teeth, because both of them couldn’t stop smiling. After a moment anxiousness took over Bellamy and he started overthinking if it was just sex for her, so like a teenage girl he needed to ask.

 

 

“Clarke, what is this?" Bellamy pulled back, gesturing between the two of them. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, but then she blinked a couple time, like she realized what he meant.

 

 

“What do you mean exactly.” she said sweetly, and yes she was going to make him say it out loud.

 

 

Bellamy huffed. "Is this just sex for you? No strings attached? Or is it something more?” he asked, and god he hoped she'd say that she wanted to be with him.

 

 

“Bellamy… I don’t do relationships.” she sighed. “And from what I’ve heard you don’t either.” that shocked him, then again Raven must’ve said something that Bellamy never was in a relationship with Echo to begin with and that it was jus sex for him. Plus when they first arrived on earth he was — a man whore and Clarke never saw him be in a relationship in the ground, she was in Polis when he was with Gina, so she must’ve assumed that he still didn't do relationships, which in some prospect was true — his only girlfriend was Gina and it has been six years. The thing he had with Echo was casual for him — no strings attached, well from his point of view and he thought that she knew it wasn’t anything more — he was wrong.

 

 

“Um, hello you still there?” Clarke asked curiously, with a teasing voice. He realized that he had been overthinking this situation, and of course she didn’t want anything more — a woman like her never end up with men like him, plus he would never be good enough for her. She deserved better than him, someone who would bring her flowers on random days, who didn’t have battle scars over his body,

 

 

who wasn’t broken.

 

 

“Yeah, it’s a good thing to know what is was and I’m totally fine with it.” he said and she must’ve noticed the unconvinced crack in his voice, because she asked.

 

“You don’t sound so sure.” she said wrinkling her nose slightly, he just let out a long sigh and kissed her passionately, because yeah, he wasn’t fine with this whole friends with benefits thing, and great sex never hurt anybody.

Notes:

Hope you liked this chapter! So friends with benefits huh? I always see in fics that the first one to fall in love with another is Clarke and yes I need to twist it and make Bellamy being hopelessly in love with her from the very beginning and who doesn't love pining and (in the future ;) ) jealous Bellamy? ;))))))

Notes:

Okay so this is my first fic I’ve ever written, sorry for any grammar mistakes, English isn’t my mother language. I’m going to continue this story but I also have school so I can’t say when’s the next chapter. Btw I kind of changed the 'avenegers mansion' and made it more like a big house. Avengers have their own houses all over the country but they live there half time because work you know? I also changed a lot of things so get pissed if I'm going to make some characters very OOC.
