Gabriella let out a groan of annoyance when Bellamy pulled away from their make out session. She furrowed her eyebrows and glared up at him half-heartedly.

"Come back." she almost whined and pulled him back into another kiss.

Bellamy chuckled into the kiss and moved his thumb in circles on the bare skin of her stomach. He pulled away and sighed with a small smile, "Abby said you aren't allowed to do any major activities until you're properly healed."

Gabriella rolled her eyes and tangled her fingers in the hair on the back of his neck, "It's been a week. And I'm bored."

"You've spent the last few days searching everything about Praimfaya with Raven." Bellamy raised an amused eyebrow, "That's not exciting enough for you?"

"If we die we die." Gabriella shot back bluntly, lowering herself so she was sitting on his stomach, straddling him and raising her eyebrows suggestively, "We should live a little first."

"You frustrate me more than anyone else I have ever met." Bellamy chuckled to himself, brushing the hair away from her face as she lowered her head to brush their noses together.

A small smirk crawled up to her lips and she raised a knowing eyebrow, "Sexually?"

"Yeah, that too." Bellamy muttered, cupping her cheek and pulling her into another deep kiss despite his head screaming at him to calm down.

𝗧𝗪: 𝗦𝗠𝗨𝗧 𝗔𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗗

Gabriella smirked in victory and kissed him back, allowing him to flip them over so he would lay between her now spread legs.

Bellamy sighed in defeat and looked down at her with a serious look on his face, "We'll take it easy and if anything hurts you tell me to stop, understood?"

"Yes, sir." Gabriella chirped, "But I think we both know I like a little pain with my pleasure."

The curly headed Blake rolled his eyes but to Gabriella's pleasure, his already dark eyes also visibly darkened at his words and soon enough, his hand was slipping further under her shirt, along her cold and bare skin, making her melt at the warm feeling spreading through her entire body and the tingles spreading along her skin.

She wasn't usually this needy. In fact, she was usually the one doing the teasing but after they haven't got more than two minutes along in a while. So you can't really blame her for wanting to appreciate the few hours of peace they had in the early morning.

The second Bellamy's hand reached the part of her back where her bra should be, he froze and pulled away to raise a teasing eyebrow. Gabriella rolled her eyes and then gave him a challenging look.

"Are you gonna take my clothes off or are you just gonna stare at me for the rest of the morning?"

Bellamy let out an amused huff and in one swift moment, pulled her ( his ) dark blue shirt off and threw it somewhere across the room, leaving her in nothing besides her underwear.

He gaped at her mostly naked body. Don't get him wrong, to say that he has seen her naked a hundred times would be an understatement really but somehow, she still always managed to take his breath away without even trying.

Without hesitating, he crashed his lips against hers once again. Just this time, the kiss was deeper, more desperate and needy all at once. When he pulled away, he immediately moved to leave butterfly kisses under her jaw and along her neck, her soft sighs and moans of pleasure only spurring him on further.

"Fuck, look at you." Bellamy sighed, squeezing her good hip to keep her pinned to the bed and to stop her from moving as her back started arching away from the bed and closer to his face the second his warm lips moved to the skin of her right breast, "So fucking perfect."

The mixture of both care and passion Bellamy poured into every time they slept together really never failed to make Gabriella's chest flutter. She used to think it was her feeling anxious to be with someone other than Murphy again but she couldn't have been more wrong.

"Bell." she moaned in pleasure when he moved to her other breast, loving the way he took his time with every part of her scar-filled body before they got to the other stuff. Subconsciously, her hands moved from his shoulders to tingle in his hair, prompting a grunt of pleasure from him that was soon followed by an amused chuckle.

"Eager aren't we?"

"With the way you're still fully dressed and I'm completely naked?" Gabriella raised an eyebrow and pulled on his hair so they were face to face, "Yes. Yes I am."

"Still such a fucking smart-ass." Bellamy noted but nonetheless, didn't hesitate to pull his shirt and jeans off. He didn't waste any time to jump back on her, just this time, he was lowering himself so his face was right between her still spread legs.

Along the way, his lips trailed towards the bandgade under the left side of her stomach and he momentarily halted. Gabriella opened her mouth to say something, only to be left speechless when she saw him lean down to place a tender butterfly kiss on the bandage.

She swore her heart stopped for a solid few seconds.

"Let me know if you want to stop." Bellamy repeated his previous words and then went back to what he was originally going to do.

Gabriella scowled when she heard him chuckle at the probably painfully visible wet stain on her underwear. The annoyance was soon replaced by pleasure when she gasped in surprise the second she felt him lick at her pussy through her underwear.

"So wet for me."

"Shut up." Gabriella shot back, hoping she didn't sound too breathless.

In response, the dark haired guard pinched the side of her thigh in a wordless warning. He must have sensed how urgent she was about leaving zero layers between them because he didn't wait long before pulling down her underwear.

He traced his figures on the inside of her thighs and then left a trail of kisses all over the area that surrounds your pussy. The fact that he never really got to exactly where she needed him and chose to tease her instead, made her even more breathless.

"What do you want, hm?"

It took her a second to even register the question so he repeated himself and she finally snapped herself out of her short daze. She swallowed thickly and then simply stated, "You."

He raised an eyebrow at her words; a silent way of him telling her she could do a lot better than that, "I need you to be more specific, Sweetheart."

"Your mouth." she whined shamelessly, pulling on his hair once more to move his face right above her heat. Bellamy seemed satisfied enough because he immediately dived in like a man starved, his tongue diving inside of her like she was his last meal ever.

Gabriella felt him push one of his fingers inside her, replacing his tongue that was now finally licking at her clit. Then he added another finger and slowly stretched her out. The intense feeling of pleasure made her hips twitch and Bellamy had to hold them down as a strong orgasm soon ripped through her body. The blonde had one of her hands gripping his curls and she was holding on for dear life while gripping the metal headboard with her other hand.

When Bellamy pulled away, he was a little out of breath. It didn't stop him from grabbing a hold of her wrists and pinning them on each side of her head, leaning down to kiss her hungrily. Gabriella moaned a little at the way his tongue slipped into her mouth and allowed him to hold down her hands without any hesitation.

They made out for a few minutes, grinding against each other like horn teenagers. His fingers were in her hair, pulling on it every time she bit his bottom lip.

Gabriella couldn't handle the wetness pooling in between her legs so she wrapped her legs around Bellamy's waist and flipped him over so she was straddling him again. The brunette blinked in surprise, looking at him with dark eyes as she slipped off his boxer and teasingly rubbed herself on his length, prompting a grunt of approval from him.

They sighed simultaneously the second she sank down on him. It took her a moment or two to adjust to his size. There hasn't even been that much time since they last had sex but after how many life threatening situations they were in since then, it sure as hell felt like it.

Bellamy's hands instinctively went to her waist and slowly dragged to cup her ass, spurring on her movements and making her quicken her pace. The sound of their paired up pants, his grunts and her moans filled the room. Gabriella drowned them all out, solemnly focusing on the feeling of Bellamy inside of her and the way her insides felt like they were about to explode. Her head tilted back and another whiny moan escaped her lips when Bellamy sat up so she was practically sitting on her lap and then started sucking on her neck, slowly leaving a trail of kisses towards her ear.

His low and hot pants hit her ear and made her clench down onto him which only caused him to grip her hips tighter.

"Fuck, Gabi." he cursed into her ear and then sucked on the sweet spot right bellow her ear, the blonde not caring if he left any bruises or not. In fact, the reminder of the hickies that will probably be adorning her skin in a few hours made her even more aroused.

"I'm close." she whined, her hands gripping his shoulders and probably giving him a scar or two herself with the way her fingers were digging into his skin.

Bellamy let out a low grunt and moved his face from the crook of her neck. He wrapped one on his hands around her neck, keeping the other on her bare hip, "Keep your eyes on me."

The action made the orgasm hit her like a train and before either of them could register what was happening, her forehead dropped to rest on his own, her grip on his shoulders tightened and she let out a surprisingly loud moan.

Her orgasm sent him over the edge too and soon enough, he was doing the same, his eyes locked on the pleasure-filled look Gabriella was wearing.

Their sweaty bodies were tangled together as they got back from their highs. Gabriella let out a satisfied sigh and placed a short but meaningful kiss on his shoulder, being the first part of his body she could reach.

"You're gonna be the death of me, Artemis."

-

"We've been at this for a week." Bellamy ranted, pacing around the Chancellor's office, his annoyed voice making Gabriella drown out the sound of rain constantly hitting the window, "There must be something we're not thinking of. What if we could reach the nearest nuclear reactor?"

"I told you;" Raven rolled her eyes and leaned against the table right next to Gabriella, "the meltdown started months ago. There's no magic button to turn them off." she pointed at the wet window to prove her point, "Today this isn't black rain, but it will be soon. That's why we have to focus on riding out the radiation and finding someplace safe and big enough to hold five hundred of us."

"Or more." Gabriella chimed in and finally tore her eyes away from the storm building outside to look between everyone in the room, "This isn't just us. The entire human race will go extinct if we don't fix this."

Clarke nodded, "I made a promise to Roan. It's about saving everyone."

"And that's why we need to tell everyone. Crowdsource it." Raven shot back, repeating the same thing Gabriella has been saying the entire week.

"Exactly. We need as much help as we can get. Especially when we can't think of anything that usefully ourselves." the Hastings pointed out, "That's why I've been telling you we have to tell Wick or another engineer. We need as many hands on deck."

She didn't fail to miss the wary look Bellamy and Wells shared, or the way Clarke looked down at the floor in shame while Raven avoided looking up from the monitor.

"I'm getting really tired of whatever bullshit fantasy you have where you think you need to walk on eggshells around me." Gabriella snapped, narrowing her eyes between them, "I'm fine. I know you guys have been hiding something from me so go ahead and spit it out. Because this is the second day I've been allowed to actually get out of my fucking room so it would be really great if you didn't act like I'm a bystander."

Clarke let out a shaky sigh and hesitantly met her gaze, "When I was in the City of Light two men were chasing me down. They were trying to stop me from finding the switch but Lexa . . . " she visibly swallowed, "Lexa saved me. She killed them. Wick was one of them."

Gabriella felt her blood run cold. Wick has been the first guy she ever knew she liked. She wasn't in love with him but in a way, he was her boyfriend. And sure things have been a little awkward since she broke up with him but the time they spent together with Raven after Mount Weather made her realize just how much she didn't want to lose specific parts of her old life in The Ark.

"I'm gonna go for a walk." was all she said and without sparing them a glance, she brushed past Monty and out of the room.

Tears were building up in her eyes before she had enough time to stop it and she made her way straight for the exit in case someone saw her. She rushed to the back, towards the gate Wick helped her disable a few months ago and she didn't even cringe at the feeling of the rain making her clothes glue to her skin ── something she usually despised.

She let out a scream and didn't think twice before landing a punch of the metal wall of Arkadia, completely ignoring the stinging pain in her fist as she rested her head against the wall she just punched and took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

Gabriella was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even hear someone approach her until they spoke up.

"Who died now?" Jasper's voice was blunt but not bored or uninterested. When Gabriella wiped away her tears and snapped her head in his direction, she saw that he looked genuinely concerned.

"Wick."

Jasper's eyebrows shot up in surprise, "Shit, really?"

"Yeah." Gabriella sighed and crossed her arms over her chest, looking down at the dirt beneath her feet, "Apparently Lexa killed him in the City of Light so she could save Clarke."

The buzz cut boy bit the inside of his cheek and then without a warning, slowly walked up to her and wordlessly opened his hands. Gabriella didn't hesitate to wrap her arms around his neck, a few tears silently rolled down her cheeks as he tried to comfort her the best he could without having to say much.

-

"Raven says we can get it sealed up in a month. The Ark is our Ark." Bellamy explained to Bryan and Miller with his hands on his waist.

"I get it." Miller rubbed a hand over his chin, "Okau, so we freeze-dried meat until we can grow our own food. We got oxygen scrubbers, but how do we store enough water for five hundred people?"

Gabriella sat down on the small couch in the corner of the room and rested her chin in the palm of her hand, "We don't. That's why we're heading to Farm Station. You guys don't have to come but with Philip isolating himself we only have three trusted gunners and two of them are you guys."

"Why the hell would we do that?" Miller narrowed his eyes at her, "It's in the damn Ice Nation."

A shirtless Bryan sat up and looked up at his boyfriend, "You just said it. We need a hydro-generator and Farm Station has one for the crops."

Bellamy raised an eyebrow at him, removing his worried gaze from Gabriella, "You think you can get us there?"

"No way." Miller chimed in sharply, not giving Bryan a chance to say anything, "Find another machine."

"Look. There are no others, and without it we won't last a year inside this ship, let alone five." Bellamy explained and Miller sighed in defeat although his chin was still raised high and his jaw was clenched.

"Fine. I'm in. Bryan stays here. His leg is still healing."

His words made Bryan shake his head, "I'm in too."

Miller didn't bother to hide his scowl nor the annoyed side glance he threw his boyfriend's way. The interaction made Gabriella awkwardly purse her lips so she got back up, grabbed a confused Bellamy by the forearm and gave the couple a tight-lipped smile.

"Great. We're leaving in an hour."

She didn't wait to hear a reply, only dragged Bellamy outside. She only let him go when they were down the hall and far away from the room.

The two walked in silence for a couple of moments and Bellamy has been spending them staring at the side of her face with furrowed eyebrows, trying to realize what was going through her head.

"You know you can talk to me right?" the words slipped from his lips in an almost casual manner but there was still an obvious edge in his tone.

Gabriella swallowed and was hesitant to meet his gaze so she kept her eyes trained on her feet, "I know."

Bellamy stopped his movements and grabbed her wrist to make her do the same. He cupped the side of her face to get her to look up at him, "I'm being serious. Look I'm sorry about not telling you about Wick but Wells just told me about it a few hours before the meeting." he gave her a knowing look, "I just don't want you to blame yourself when you couldn't do anything to stop it."

"I just don't want to spend the last few months I have left, on grieving or being cupped up in the Chancellor's office, pretending to be step father when we both know I'm not, and trying to find a collusion that we're probably not gonna find. And if we do find something, like Monty did right now, we're probably gonna find a way to screw everything up." Gabriella ranted all in one breath.

The brunette frowned and nodded in understanding, "And I get that. But we need you, Gabi." his thumb stroked her cheek slowly, her heartbeat slowing down and matching his, "I need you. I'm gonna go crazy without you for these five years so I just need you to keep fighting. You don't have to run around trying to save the world every day but I need to know you're okay." a breathless chuckle escaped his lips, "Because we both know you're probably the only thing keeping me sane."

An involuntary smile tugged on her lips, "Of course I am. Although I'm not so sure that's healthy, Blake. Judging by the fact that I probably lost my sanity a long time ago."

"Maybe." Bellamy shrugged, smiling back at her, "But you're still one of the strongest women I know. That's not going to change just because you decide you don't want to carry the weight of decision making anymore. We're co-leaders for a reason, Artemis. You're supposed to tell me when something is wrong so I can help."

Gabriella stared at him, her eyes blue eyes softer than he ever saw them, "I'm so fucking glad I got stuck with you when we landed. I don't think there's anyone that would have tolerated my bullshit for this long. That's the main reason I ── " her eyes widened subtly and she choked on her words as realization of what she was about to blurt out dawned on her, "didn't murderer you before our first war with the grounders."

Bellamy's eyebrows furrowed but his grin soon widened a bit, "So you're not going with us to Farm Station?"

"Is that okay?" the blonde asked with an uncertainty in her voice, not entirely sure if she could actually handle willingly sitting on the sidelines while Bellamy and her friends were putting their lives in danger.

"It's more than okay." Bellamy assured her, "Especially with the fact that you probably shouldn't be leaving camp anyway. So I'm just glad I didn't have to give you any sort of big speech." he gave her a teasing wink, "Glad to see you're finally starting to see you don't have to be okay all the time."

Gabriella didn't have a chance to respond because Wells' voice rang through the otherwise empty hallway, "Lovebirds get your asses over here. No making out while the rest of us are packing."

Heat rushed to Gabriella's cheeks and she threw a half-hearted glare towards Wells over Bellamy's shoulder and then looked back at Bellamy. She gave him a tight-lipped smile, "I'll see you later. Be safe."

"I'll be safe." Bellamy shot back, giving her a lingering kiss without thinking much of it and then running down the hall towards Wells while Gabriella stayed glued on the same spot, her eyes wide and her mouth hung open.

She heard Wells and Bellamy bicker about something but ignored it and as soon as she knew no one could see her, a smile appeared on her lips and she tried her hardest to keep it down by biting her bottom lip. It's safe to say she wasn't that successful.

-

Gabriella spent the rest of the day getting high with Jasper in his room. By the time night came, the room was reeking of weed and Gabriella swore she hadn't felt that relaxed in weeks, or not months.

She would be lying if she didn't get a major sense of deja vu. Just this time, it was just her and Jasper. Murphy was off doing hell knows what and Monty was being his selfless self, running around and saving the world.

It made her feel selfish. Well it would have if she wasn't high off her ass like she was sixteen all over again, with her biggest problem being how she was gonna successfully rob Jaha's quarters or how she was gonna get out of stealing test results for Murphy and Jasper.

A huge part of her wanted to go back to who she was before.

It would have been a hell of a lot easier.

Because back then, her main priority was always herself and saving her own ass. She wasn't proud of it but that was who she was. A rebellious teenager who had a lot of issues and just wanted to grab her father's attention even if she had to break a bunch of laws to do so.

Now, however, she was never putting herself first. Almost everything she did was for her people, her friends, her family. And when she took a look around Arkadia, she felt just the tiniest bit proud that she was one of the few people that helped create their society on Earth.

These were the best years of her life and she didn't want to waste them by doing possibly useless research. But then again, by doing it there was still a chance she could save her people.

That was the exact reason the first thing Gabriella did when she was back to her senses, was walk towards the front of the garage so she could wait for Bellamy and the rest of them to come back.

When they pulled up the rover, Gabriella's eyes immediately furrowed as she took in the amount of people in back. Monty was the first one to get out, then Wells, Harper, Miller and Bryan came out from the back ── the couple walking away and whispering something between themselves.

Bellamy came out of the driver's seat and his eyes connected to Gabriella's almost instantly. For whatever reason, he looked guilty. He swallowed and moved to the back, starting to help Wells and Harper with helping the newcomers out of the rover.

"Bellamy, what's going on?" Gabriella walked up to him, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

He didn't get a chance to answer because Clarke's surprised voice brought their attention to her.

"Riley?" Clarke gaped at a bruised up teenage boy jumping out of the rover and Gabriella blinked in surprise at the sight of Riley ── the guy Wells briefly dated during freshman year.

"Clarke." he gasped and they shared a short hug.

Bellamy helped a little girl out and Gabriella's expression softened. They must have been the other part of Farm Station that separated from Pike's part during landing. All these months, they all just thought they died because of rough landing.

"Get Riley and the others to medbay." Bellamy instructed Monty and Harper, "Tell them we'll take them to their villages in the morning."

Riley took the hand of the girl Bellamy took down in his own and they all slowly walked away. Gabriella bit her bottom lip and then looked at the back of the rover with an expectant look on her face at the same time as Raven did ── both of them having the same goal of looking for the machine.

But it was empty.

"Where is it?" Raven blurted out, voicing Gabriella's confusion.

Bellamy swallowed nervously and looked between the engineer and mechanic, "We didn't get the machine."

Clarke furrowed her eyebrows and tilted her head, "It didn't survive landing?"

"No, it did." Wells shook his head, not looking even a little ashamed, "Bellamy and I had a choice to make and we chose to bring our people home instead of the machine."

"Oh, we are so screwed." Raven cursed under her breath.

"We have time," Bellamy said, "but I am not sacrificing any more innocent lives."

"You just did." Clarke stated blankly and a scoff immediately escaped Gabriella's lips.

"Clarke, there were children in there." she stared with a look of disbelief, "It's either them being held hostage and probably dying soon or us dying in six months. The only difference is that we have time to think of a way out. They didn't."

Bellamy gave her a short look of thanks and then turned back to Clarke, "I made the call, and I'll live with that."

"Yeah. You're not the only one who has to live with your call, as usual." Raven glared between him and Wells.

"Well, go tell them." Bellamy offered blankly, "Go tell Riley I should've left them to die."

Clarke stood between them like a wall and turned to look at Raven, "Okay. How many of us will the ship sustain without a hydro-generator?"

Raven shook her head, "No more than a hundred."

A scoff escaped Gabriella's lips and her eyebrows shot up in disbelief, "I usually find irony hilarious but this is definitely not one of those times."

"What are we supposed to tell the people now?" Clarke asked while nervously looking around camp.

"The truth." Gabriella shrugged, "That might not seem like the smartest choice to you. But if I was them I'd want to know I only have a few months left to live before my world comes crashing down. Literally."

Raven nodded in agreement, "Crowdsource it like we talked about."

Clarke thought about it for a moment and then nodded to herself, "Call for a general meeting."

While Raven nodded and left to do just that, Gabriella narrowed her eyes at the youngest Griffin, "What's your plan?"

"Hoping that there's a forgiving god." Clarke answered which honestly, only confused Gabriella.

-

Clarke Griffin was a fucking hypocrite.

She just held a huge speech where she told every person in Arkadia that the world would be ending in a few months which would have been fine if she didn't promise them The Ark had room for all of them.

"It won't be easy. Raven and Ella need volunteers if we're gonna get it ready in time. It'll be a lot of work, but now you understand why we need to do it. If we stick together, I give you my word," 𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵 "we won't just survive. We'll thrive."

Gabriella shared a look of disbelief with Wells, Bellamy and Raven and shook her head to herself.

"Nice speech." Raven drawled out sarcastically when Clarke walked back to them.

"Yeah," Gabriella deadpanned, "I was really feeling the love and unison."

"Sometimes hope is more important than truth." Clarke shot back.

Raven narrowed her eyes and her next words were laced with nothing but venom, "Your dad would be so proud."

Gabriella's eyes widened comically and she shared a subtle wide eyed look with Wells, who's eye twitched in annoyance.

The words were enough to have Clarke glaring back at them sharply, "You wanted workers. You got them."

Gods, Earth really did fuck them all up, didn't it?
