Listening to Clarke, Bellamy’s mind wandered. Yeah, the blonde was right about needing to be better. They needed to learn from past mistakes. “Yeah, I think about her every day. I miss her. I wonder what she’d think of me. I fear she would be disappointed with how Octavia turned out. She isn’t the girl that was my sister on the Ark. She changed. I know we all did, but she changed the most. Sometimes I wonder if my mother would have been disappointed in me for not doing better. I hope not, though. I’ve always tried my best with O.”<br/><br/>Sighing, Bellamy looked into Clarke’s eyes, reaching down to grab both of her hands. “But, I know she’d be proud of who I’ve become. I’ve tried to be a good big brother and a good person. I know it hasn’t always worked out like that, but we’ve done better recently. I know we’ll learn from our mistakes, then our future will be even brighter. I know she’d be happy that I found a girl to fall in love with, to have a future with… that’s you, by the way.” Bellamy paused, teasing her as he was clearly talking about her.<br/><br/>“Even with everything that has happened, I know that we’re always getting better, always growing. All things considered, you’ve given me something special. I could never think of my lie as a failure or anything else negative. I’m so lucky to have you, to have survived all of this together. I wish she could have met you. I know she would have liked you a lot.” There was a smile on his face now as he continued to cuddle close with Clarke, his lips pressing a kiss to her forehead.<br/><br/>“I never did see myself wanting to settle down or anything like that. I never thought I’d find someone that would make me feel this way, but you did. There are plenty of things I regret, but what we have isn’t one of them. I’m so glad to be with you. I’ve almost lost you more times than I care to think about, but I hope we never have to face that again. Whatever happens now, we’re definitely together, as a team.” Bellamy went silent now, both hands squeezing hers, pulling the female as tightly against his body as possible. Cuddling with Clarke was something he enjoyed quite a bit.
