RP: The 100: Return To Earth (greenandgold x randomname98766789)

"I feel loved every time you look at me, touch me, everything. I know how you feel about me. I've never questioned it and I never will. I'm just grateful that you managed to come to Earth with us. And that you weren't one of the few that we lost upon landing." Clarke squeezed Jason's hands in hers for several minutes, and then pressed a kiss to his lips, before releasing his hands and then getting up from the bed. "Let's go and take that shower now, what do you say? It's purely to conserve water..." She said and then laughed and winked
at him.

They parted to each grab some of their clothes and then a few minutes later, the couple headed for the showers. "I really hope that Jasper and Monty are already busy for the day. I
don't want a repeat of them standing around us while we're in the shower, asking about the day's tasks again. That wasn't appropriate, or my finest moment when I snapped at them
to get lost, reminding them that we were naked and unless they were prepared to deal with that, to come back later for assignments." A wry chuckle left her, and the blonde shook
her head.

"I'm still not used to showering in public, even though we have the curtains to keep everything PG." She glanced around at the other set of shower's on the other side of camp and saw that Octavia was using them. The brunette seemed calm and relaxed and didn't seem to care that some of the younger teenager's were getting a little too close to the shower curtains. "Hey! Cut it out!" The blonde yelled, thinking that Octavia wasn't aware of the other teens spying on her and trying to see her naked.
________________________________________

Octavia had spent half an hour with Bellamy that morning, telling him that she loved him, kissing him and just enjoying the morning together. Once they had done that, her brother had been needed for something and had taken off to deal with whatever it was, so she had decided to grab a shower. She'd grabbed her clothes and her crutches and made her way to the showers across the camp. Once she was inside of the curtains, she stripped and set her clothes over the curtain and placed her crutches aside. Her clean clothes were set apart from
the clothes she had just worn, and the brunette happily turned on the water.

The young woman closed her eyes and just let the hot water fall over her. She dipped her head under the spray and reached for the soap. Even though her eyes were closed, Octavia could feel eyes on her tracking her movements. It didn't take a genius to know that some, if not most, of the males in camp were watching her shower. It didn't bother her since they couldn't really see her body. She heard Clarke shouting and didn't bother to open her eyes. "It's fine, Clarke! Just ignore the pervs. That's what I do!" Octavia called out to the other woman.

She wasn't the least bit worried about them seeing her naked. Despite her damaged leg and knee, the young woman knew that she had a nice body. And as long as no one but Bellamy ever touched her in an intimate way, then there wouldn't be any problems. And as long as her brother didn't know that their friends were spying on her. Well, unless he was into that. Though Octavia didn't know if he was or not. She didn't think he would be. The young woman knew how protective Bellamy was and had a feeling he wouldn't want to share her.
 
With a happy smile on his face, Jason gathered his clothing for the day. A white t-shirt, some blue jeans, a clean pair of socks and boxers along with his combat boots were brought with the towels out into the public shower system. He knew that whenever himself and Clarke showered together, people would watch and stare. It did not bother him because Clarke was all his. The others could watch for hours but that’s the closest they would ever get. Just to make that known, he loved giving her a wash so everyone saw his hands all over her and they knew that she was taken.

He chuckled softly when Clarke made the others watching Octavia disperse. They listened to the blonde and looked away, going about their business. When the couple reached the shower stall, Jason did not look to Octavia, of course. Even though she was attractive, she did not even come close to Clarke in his mind. In fact, no girl in this camp looked even remotely pretty since Jason was all caught up in Clarke. When they pulled the curtain behind them, Jason took liberty to rid Clarke of her clothes, starting from her upper body and working down.

He could never get enough of Clarke, even through non-sexual touching. “Your body is so fucking gorgeous.” He whispered against her neck, turning the water on when they were both nude. Of course, he took the lead first and grabbed the cloth and soap, beginning to wash down her body since they had to get started for the day. “You just stand there and relax, my love. Let me do all the hard work for you.” He whispered sweetly and did exactly as he said.

------------

Despite not being a morning person, Bellamy enjoyed the time he spent with Octavia before fully waking up for the day. They cuddled, kissed, talked, and enjoyed one another’s presence. It was perfect. He loved feeling her body against his own and it was something he could never tire of. Last night, Octavia said something about him waking up this morning and regretting last night, that it would be okay and she would understand. Well, just like Bellamy already knew it, he did not regret anything from last night. The only thing he regretted at all was not doing this sooner with Octavia, for trying to stop his thoughts from happening. He wished he accepted them sooner but here they were. Better late than never.

With a smile, he left Octavia and got dressed to see what was needed. It was Harper and she looked panicked. Unsure of what the problem was, he found that a group of two dozen delinquents were gathered outside of the walls of Arkadia. Since they had not been on the ground for too long yet, the walls were still being erected. They had to have many people on watch and one of them had been killed on watch. It was Wells Jaha. Now, nobody was close to Wells. His closest friend was probably Clarke just because their parents were on the Council but they were not really close friends at all.

Despite that, nobody wanted to see anyone killed. It appeared that he was stabbed in the neck and a Grounder must have been right outside their home last night without anyone even knowing. Bellamy ordered a double time for the workers building the wall while a few others helped dig a grave for Wells. They have buried so many people already and Bellamy hated to bury another one. That was why they had to make sure the camp was secured, though.
 
"They're like damn children," Clarke mumbled under her breath, once the other's had finally stopped spying on Octavia and left. She and Jason made it to the showers and stepped inside. The blonde calmed down a little once her boyfriend started to remove her clothes. "I love you, Jase.." Clarke said softly, kissing him as he washed her body. She relaxed at the feeling of his hands all over her body. His touches weren't sexual, but they still made the young woman shiver, in a good way, of course. The blonde smiled and then fell silent a few moments later, just enjoying this time between them.

Once her boyfriend had finished soaping her up, and then rinsed her body off, she grabbed the shampoo and handed it to him. The young woman closed her eyes a few moments later and then sighed happily as Jason began to wash her hair and massage her scalp. "What do you have planned for today?" Clarke asked as she reached out and cupped her boyfriend's face, even with her eyes closed, she knew his body well. "I have to meet with Bellamy in a little while, so that we can assemble a small team to try and meet with the leader of the people who keep killing our people. Actually, we need to try and find Lincoln. Maybe he can help us talk to them."
_____________________________

Octavia had just finished her shower when it started. She had dried off with a towel and slipped her bra, shirt and underwear on. All that was left was her pants, socks and boots. As she slipped on her underwear, there was suddenly the sound of loud talking in another language. Her head jerked around and she spun around in the showers, trying to locate the source. She couldn't find it, and the only thing the brunette was sure of was that the noise was coming from the trees. Octavia began to quickly pull on the rest of her clothes, so that she could exit the showers and help somehow.

She grabbed her crutches and then pushed the curtains from the shower out of her way, quickly dropping to the ground as arrows filled the air. "Jason! Clarke! Are you guys okay?" The brunette heard a cry of pain come from Jason and Clarke and she hobbled towards the other two, pulled the curtains aside to see that they were both cleaned and half dressed. Both of them were dressed from the waist down. The blonde had a bra but no shirt on, and an arrow was protruding from her shoulder. Octavia quickly stepped back when suddenly blood began to slide down the blonde's cheeks, like tears.

"It's poison! Bellamy! We need help!" She said, shouting for her brother, and watched as Jason scooped Clarke into his arms. "We need to find and quarantine anyone who was hit by an arrow." The brunette young woman said as she hobbled along a few feet behind Jason as he carried a now unconscious Clarke into the dropship. She shivered as she looked at the blonde, who still had blood leaking from her eyes.
 
Jason enjoyed taking the shower with Clarke. He loved touching her body and planning ahead for their day. When she asked him about his plans, he told her how he was leading a team to another underground military depot that was marked on the map by Kane. However, before he could listen to Clarke talk about her day, the volley of arrows were flying down and of course, one of the just had to hit Clarke. They were both half dressed and he caught Clarke in his arms once she had been hit. “Clarke!” He shouted, holding her steady. “Princess, you stay with me right now. Stay with me.” He whispered and kissed her chin before lifting her up in his arms.

Just like that, he turned and started sprinting into the dropship. Some of the others grabbed guns and were shooting at the grounders, forcing them back away from the camp. A few people had been hit by the arrows but Jason only cared about one. He did not heed the warning about staying away from anyone that was shot because they could get infected, too. Instead, Jason remained close with Clarke, helping her into a secluded area. Her blood was on him anyways so that was pointless to stay away from her.

Once he secured her in, a few others shot by the arrow were brought in as well. Bellamy was just outside on the opposite end where the attack started. He sprinted inside the walls and helped move whoever was shot into the same area that Jason moved Clarke. That was the quarantine zone. After they reached the dropship, Jason had been looking through the books, trying to figure out what exactly the poison was. It took him a while but he never left Clarke’s side as he tested one of the arrows and figured out exactly what it was.

Bellamy checked on Octavia and made sure that she was not hurt. Jason informed Bellamy of what he found about the poison and they had to start looking through the medical supplies to see if they had the antidote. Even with the walls going up, they were still unprotected but they had to deal with one problem at a time.
 
Clarke was breathing heavy, almost as if she had been out for a run. A few moments later, she gagged and turned away from Jason, falling to her knees and throwing up. The arrow was still in her shoulder as she had weakly told Jason not to remove it. "Bellamy.. Get out.. Octavia, you too.." The blonde said, before she coughed and then threw up again. "Jase. Go try to find Lincoln. He'll know what to do..." She said, reminding them of the friend they had made in the woods and who had saved their lives while they were on the trip to bury their friends.

The blonde threw up two more times, then wiped her mouth. She leaned over and rinsed her mouth with some water that her boyfriend gave her, then greedily drank some fresh water out of another cup he gave her. "Get them out of here, before they catch this. The Grounder's want to kill all of us and that's exactly what will happen if they stay here. We need people on the outside, to keep defending this place. We can't let them win. We WON'T let them win..." She said stubbornly. A few moments later, Clarke's eyes rolled in the back of her head
and she passed out from the illness.
_______________________________

"Bellamy, I know that Clarke's the one we usually trust for medical advice, but we can't let those who are sick, be alone. On the other hand, we can't just sit here and wring our hands. We need to find that person that Clarke mentioned, Lincoln, and see if he can help us to help our people get better. I think that you and Jason should go and try to find him. I'll stay here with Clarke and the others and I'll take care of them." Octavia carefully took a seat on the edge of the dropship door. She set her crutches down beside her and motioned for Bellamy to have a seat next to her.

"There's no time to argue, Bell, so don't even start. Our friend's need help, and we need to find a way to stop this sickness before it spreads to everyone else, and then we're all unable
to defend ourselves. Just... Don't kill Jason, okay? He's my best friend, and you're my brother. I love both of you, just not in the same way." She kissed her brother's lips, not caring that anyone and everyone could see the action. "Go. Go now. We need the help as soon as possible." She got up a moment later, and then using her crutches, hobbled inside the dropship.

"Jason, you need to go with Bellamy. Track down your friend who warned you and Clarke before. Maybe he can stop the spread of this illness. And you don't have time to protest. Only you know this Lincoln guy. Take Bellamy with you for back-up, and both of you be careful and get back ASAP." She moved to take his place beside Clarke, and began to rub a washcloth over the blonde's forehead, cheeks, and neck. "Hurry up, she's burning up and I'm sure the other's are, too. Don't waste time arguing with me or each other, just get out of here, now!"

The brunette told them firmly, as she got up to check on the other's that were sick. She found some material on the floor and used it to cover her face, so that those that were sick and coughed, didn't spread germs in her face. The young woman took her time, as she made her way around the dropship, caring for the other teenager's. Her crutches remained in hand as she slowly moved around the room, helping where she could. Those who were still outside had finally stopped shooting and had gone back to working on the walls, and she was thankful for that. The sooner they had the walls up, the safer she would feel.
 
Jason had refused to leave Clarke’s side, hoping to figure out something himself. However, it became apparent that nothing they had would cure the poison. Clarke managed to tell Jason that he should find Lincoln and that was smart, but he did not want to leave Clarke alone. The male held her hand tightly and watched her eyes close. He even checked her pulse, wondering if she had gone but felt thankful when he still senses a faint throb in her neck. She was still here, but who knew for how long? Jason was racing against time for sure. “I love you, Clarke Griffin. I love you so much.” He whispered and kissed her forehead before moving towards Bellamy.

Meanwhile, Bellamy listened to Octavia. Clarke had the most medical knowledge but now she was incapacitated. Octavia wanted to stay with Clarke while he and Jason found this Grounder they talked about. Bellamy’s first reaction was “No”, just let Jason and himself find him but get Octavia out of the room so she was safe. However, it was obvious that this was nothing he could win an argument over and he began to begrudgingly accept the fate of the situation. He kissed Octavia back and held the hug for a few seconds before reluctantly pulling away from her.

“I love you so much, Octavia. Please, be careful here. We’ll be back as soon as we can.” After that, he looked to Jason and was ready to go. If Octavia cared that much about Jason then he would give the male a shot. Besides, he knew there was not anything between them. They were just best friends. Jason thanked Octavia for staying with Clarke and neither of them argued with the brunette. Instead, they both turned on their heels and ran towards the camp armory, grabbing a few weapons and knives before heading out of the camp and into the woods. Jason knew where they saw Lincoln but he had no idea how to track him down.

Just because he did not know here Lincoln was did not deter him. This was something he had to do for Clarke. Bellamy could hardly keep up with Jason because he was moving so fast and it was obvious that he loved Clarke because he was so insatiable about finding Lincoln. He would not stop to rest, for water, for anything. Bellamy was losing his breath and struggled to keep up. They spent an hour searching before finally finding a cave. Once they reached the cave, something told Jason to look inside and he did. It happened to be Lincoln’s cave.

He was getting defensive at first but Jason made sure he knew they were friendly.

“Woah, woah. Lincoln, it’s me, Jason. This is Bellamy we’re not here to hurt you. Our camp was attack.”

“Yeah, I heard about it”

“Clarke, my girlfriend, the one I was with the other day was shot by a poison arrow. We don’t know the antidote. Please, can you help us?”

Lincoln paused for a second and thought about it.

“Others were shot, too. You want peace, right? You have the chance to prevent a few people from dying.”

It took a few minutes but Jason convinced Lincoln. He gave them the vials of medicine that the infected person should drink and cleanse their system. Bellamy was skeptical but Jason had to believe he was being honest. If he did not do anything, Clarke would die. After Lincoln gave them all the antidote he had, the pair quickly made their way back to Arkadia. There were dozens of armed guards in and around camp but as soon as they got back, Jason made a sprint towards the dropship. He wondered if there was even enough for everyone, but he was making damn sure that Clarke got it first. He did not care if anyone else lived or died, honestly. Once he reached Clarke, he explained everything to Octavia and sat Clarke upright, helping her drink it and swallow the medicine so she could get better before he moved to everyone else that was infected.
 
Octavia had been holding Clarke down when Jason and Bellamy got back. "Her fever spiked even more. She was delirious and violent. I'm sorry. I had to pin her down.." The brunette said quietly, worried as Jason helped the blonde sit up and then forced the liquid down her throat. "How do you even know that what the Grounder gave you will help? What if he set
you up and gave you some kind of poison, or something that makes it worse?" The young woman backed away from Clarke and Jason and gave them space. She kept the cloth over
her face, in the hopes of keeping from getting sick.

"Did he say how long it would take for the medication to kick in?" The brunette couldn't help but ask. She was worried, and turned to Bellamy. "Bell, go help them on the wall. You don't need to be exposed to the sickness anymore. We need as many able-bodied people as we can get finishing the wall and keeping an eye out and guns ready, for more hostile Grounders. Go on, please. I don't want you to get sick. I've already been largely exposed. If I'm going to get sick, it'll happen within the next few hours. So you should be outside where you're safe."

Once her brother had finally agreed and gone back outside to help on the wall, Octavia turned back to Jason. "How's Clarke doing? Is there any change in her condition? Is her pulse still racing? How's the fever? At least she's not delirious anymore, since she's unconscious." The young woman said, trying to find the bright side of this crappy situation that they were in. "And how are you feeling? Do you need to throw up? Do you have the chills? Let me know if you're not feeling so hot.." She said, so that she could take care of him if he ended up sick, too.
 
The situation was dire. Clarke’s condition had worsened but Jason had the antidote. “The grounder said it would show effects in two or three hours. I can’t guarantee that this was the correct medicine. The only thing I know is that if we did nothing, Clarke would surely die. The possibility this might work gives her a chance. That’s what I’m hoping for. If she dies, I couldn’t’ live anymore. I had to do something. Plus, I trust that grounder. He saved our lives and has no reason to lie.” All things considered, this was their best shot. Nobody could argue that.

Despite Bellamy wanting to stay with Octavia, he decided to leave. “Fine. Octavia, as soon as you are safe to leave, you come find me. Don’t stay here a second longer than you need to be here.” Bellamy’s voice was strict and stern. Since Octavia was not taking “no” for an answer, neither was he. Turning around, Bellamy found the exit and approached the wall. Thinking about Octavia getting sick bothered him. They might or might not have the answer for the sickness but that much uncertainty bothered Bellamy greatly. He could not lose Octavia. He only hoped that she did not get sick, but if she did, he hoped the Grounder was truthful.

Inside, Jason weakly smiled at Octavia. “I’m alright, I think. Just worried about this one.” He paused, nodding at Clarke. He laid her head in his lap and started stroking her hair. “I remember when we first met and we got to know each other and I wouldn’t stop talking about Clarke. I was afraid I’d never see her again. I almost lost her on two different occasions, Octavia. This is too much. I can’t let her die. If she dies, I will, too. I feel like I failed. I promised myself that I would always keep her safe but look at her. I could have done something different.” Jason whispered, a lone tear sliding down his cheek.
 
Octavia walked over to Jason and carefully took a seat on the floor beside him. She grabbed her best friend's chin and turned his head so that their eyes met. "Don't ever let me hear
you talk like that again, do you hear me? I don't want to hear it. You're not to blame for this happening. There was no way that you could know the Grounders would attack and that Clarke would get hurt. And besides, she'd kick your ass real good if she heard you blaming yourself. So, lose the guilt. It doesn't do anyone any good, but especially not Clarke."

Once she had spoken, the brunette fell silent and then got up. She began to check on the others, and let out a soft sigh. "Murphy's fever is starting to go down. It's still a little high,
but not as high as it was. His pulse isn't racing anymore, and his breathing sounds better," She said, having leaned over Murphy, and listened to his breaths. She moved around the
room and checked on the others. "Some are doing a little better, but not all of them. I think that you should distribute the rest of whatever your friend gave you, to the others."

A few moments later, she moved towards the door. "I'm gonna go in my room and lie down for a bit. There's a radio on the floor near Clarke. Let me know if you need me to come back and help. With Clarke, or with the others, and I will." After she spoke, Octavia used her crutches and carefully left the dropship. She kept the cloth over her face, went to find Bellamy and then told him that she was going to their room to lie down for a bit. Once she told him, the brunette turned around and headed back to their room. Octavia went inside and then immediately laid down in their bed, exhausted. She was asleep within seconds.
 
Octavia was correct. Jason stopped the self-blame and focused on distributing the medicine to everyone else. Thankfully, he did have enough for everyone and had just a little left over. After that was finished, he returned by Clarke’s side and placed her head into his lap again. Unsure of what to do, he just started talking to her, thinking about some of their memories together. Their first kiss, the moment they first started dating, their first date, and so many other things they shared together. Jason hoped those memories were not the last things he had of this blonde in his arms. There had to be more time.

Meanwhile, Bellamy was hard at work. So far, he had not show any signs or symptoms of the infection so he was cleared. The male promised Octavia he would join her as soon as he could but these walls were important. A large group of the delinquents worked their asses off until the job was done. Finally, every direction around Arkadia was finally secured with walls. Now, the next thing to do was get the barbed wire up and work on electrifying the damn thing. That was another job for later though as Bellamy took his rest, got something to eat and some water to drink before her returned into the Ark.

Once inside, he made his way towards his old bedroom where Octavia was sound asleep. Because of this, he made himself stay quiet and he did not even lay in the bed for fear of waking her. Instead, he slid down into a chair beside the bed and closed his eyes, finding out that the sleep found him quicker than he thought it would and it took him off into a nice sleep almost as soon as his butt hit the chair.
 
Octavia woke up as soon as Bellamy entered their room. She knew that he was trying to be quiet for her sake and loved him for it. But the brunette also knew that if he slept in that chair for long, he'd regret it with a stiff neck and hurt back in a few hours. So, with that thought in mind, the young woman scooted closer to her brother, reached out and then gently cupped part of his face with her hand. It took a few moments for Bellamy to wake up but once he had, she smiled at him. "Get your ass in this bed. We both know you'll sleep better
with me."

She released his face and then held out a hand for her brother to take. Once he had taken her hand and ditched his shoes, the young woman pulled her brother into the bed beside her. Octavia cuddled into Bellamy's side and slipped the covers over both of them, wrapping her arms around his waist and then relaxing. "There now, isn't that much better?" The brunette asked as she kissed her brother's lips, and then closed her eyes once more. "Go back to sleep, Bell, I know that you need it. I only woke you up so that you wouldn't be in pain for a
few hours."

"We'll grab a nap for a few hours and when we wake up, we'll check on Clarke and the other's, and see how they're doing and what we can do to help." She reached out and turned up
the volume on the radio that they each kept on hand, and then settled back into the bed and into her brother's arms once more. Once they had both gotten comfortable, Octavia closed her eyes and it didn't take her very long to fall back asleep, now that she knew Bellamy was with her and safe. It comforted her to have his arms around her, knowing he was close as they slept.
 
Bellamy had almost already nodded off to sleep when Octavia touched his face. “Hmm?” He murmured lowly, his eyes opening but clearly he was sleepy and exhausted just like they all were. He realized Octavia was awake and had not meant to wake her up, but she was correct. The male kicked off his shoes and climbed into bed with Octavia, grabbing her hand and pulling himself into the bed with the brunette. A smile was on his face when he entered the bed, wrapping his arms tightly around his sister, pressing a couple kisses to her face and lips because kissing her also helped him relax.

With his arms wrapped around Octavia, Bellamy peacefully slept after she and himself were settled in one another’s arms. It was amazing that he could sleep in a time like this. However, when he thought about it with everything considered, it was not so surprising. He loved Octavia she made him feel peaceful and relaxed. Not even the most horrible experience could prevent him from sleeping if Octavia was in his arms. Their love and their passion was just that strong. He stayed asleep for a few hours just like she suggested. When he woke up from their nap, he saw the time read that it was four hours later. He felt refreshed and ready to move. Besides, he figured Jason might need something to eat or drink. He figured the male had never left Clarke’s side.

“Octavia, time to get up.” He whispered though yearned for a day where they could just rest together and not worry about getting up to check on someone. There was always something going on. He sat upright on the edge of the bed and grabbed his shoes, pulling them on while getting ready to head out with Octavia. Meanwhile, Jason had indeed not left Clarke. He slept shakily while leaning his back against the metal wall of the quarantine room. Her head was still in his lap. In one hand, he held that last drawing he had of hers against his chest while the other was tangled in her hair.
 
Clarke's eyes opened and she slowly moved to get up, lifting her head and realizing that Jason had had her head in his lap as they both slept. "Jason," The blonde said softly, as she caressed her boyfriend's cheek to wake him. Once he had woken, she gently took the drawing from his hand and flattened it once, before handing it back to him. "Put that away for
now. I'll do another drawing for you later. Let's check on everyone else and see how they're doing. How are you feeling? Any signs of the virus? We also need to check on Bellamy
and Octavia and see if they got sick from contact with us."

No sooner had the blonde mentioned them, then Bellamy and Octavia walked into the dropship. "Are you guys okay?" The blonde asked them. She still felt a little weak from the virus, but was getting better by the minute. Clarke planned to crash early and was sure that by the next morning, she'd be back to normal. "Whatever you gave us tasted awful, but I think
it did the trick.." She told her boyfriend. Then she turned to Bellamy and Octavia. "We need to bury those that died from the virus. But we'll have to put on some kind of gear to protect ourselves from it."

"We want it to die down, not get a second wind and take out the rest of the camp." She got to her feet and started examining Jason for signs and symptoms, and was relieved to see none. The blonde approached Bellamy, examined him and sighed. "You've got the virus, and you'll need to stay here over night." She examined Octavia and shook her head. "You're
fine. No signs of symptoms, swelling, no bloody eyes, mouth or nose, nothing's swollen in your mouth."

"Jason, you and Octavia get the barbed wire up on the fence, meet with Raven and work with her to get it set up to electrify anyone who gets near it. Bellamy, lay down before you fall down." She said firmly and pushed him down onto an empty bed on the floor of the dropship. "You're not gonna be useful to your sister or anyone else until you get better. Don't argue, save your strength to argue with me later, when you're not sick." She motioned for Jason and Octavia to leave, got Bellamy some water, and ran a wet towel over his face and neck, to try and keep him cool.
 
When Clarke opened her eyes and said his name, Jason let out a sigh of relief. She was alright! It made him laugh when she started acting all casual, talking about checking on the others and getting a plan together. Yeah, Clarke was doing just fine now. This made him grin widely as he helped her stand up. Meanwhile, Bellamy had been feeling dizzy but he wanted to not believe he had caught anything. Once Clarke examined him and proved there was a virus, he was offered some of the antidote by Jason and he took it quickly. After that was done, he sat down before Clarke could push him down onto one of the bed.

Before Jason and Octavia left, Jason went to his girlfriend and hugged her tightly. “I’m so glad you’re alright. I was so scared.” Jason admitted, clutching her tight. As badly as he wanted to kiss her, he knew they would have to settle for a hug. “I love you so much. Be careful and I’ll be back to check on you later.” He whispered to the love of his life and finally pulled back. After pulling back, Jason led Octavia out of the dropship and decided they should get started on burying the dead. It was the most important thing to do.

Jason gathered everyone in the middle of the camp and called for a group of people to start digging the graves. He chose ten people since they could afford to span out more thanks to the fact that they were practically finished with the walls. After saying that, Jason chose another handful of people to join him with taking the dead bodies out to the graves. There were hazmat suites deep in the Ark that landed and they could use that to protect themselves. “Octavia, you should help with the graves. You shouldn’t be in that infected area more than you already have been.” Octavia was a close friend to him so he wanted to look out for her. She was probably better served helping with the graves.

Jason led the team into the Ark and found these suites. Within minutes, they were all dressed and ready to go. They piled into the infected quarantine and grabbed the dead bodies. It was important to get them buried quickly to stop the spread of the virus. Once the graves were dug, Jason cleared everyone out in that area so only the people with the proper protection on their bodies would bury them. Inside the infected quarantine, Bellamy had finally nodded off to sleep, waking occasionally to cough up a little blood but it was nothing major.
 
"You're going to be okay," Clarke told Bellamy, speaking to him softly and kindly. "You're too stubborn to be any other way," She said and then smiled. The blonde helped him sit up a
little bit, and gave the brunette some water to drink. When he coughed it up with the blood, she backed away a little until he was done, and then she cleaned his face and neck of the blood with a towel, and tried again, giving him some water to drink to cool him down. "Don't fight it, Bellamy. You're gonna feel like complete crap. Just let the meds that Jason gave
you, help. And try to rest. Octavia's fine. You know that Jason would never let anything happen to her."

She continued to speak softly and soothingly, wanting to calm him, as she knew that he hated for his sister to be away from him. "If you want, in a little while, I'll get Jason on the
radio, and have him get Octavia to stand at the edge of the dropship door, and that way she can talk to you and assure you that she's alright. Would that help?" The blonde washed
out the washcloth she was using on Bellamy, in the bowl beside them, and then resumed running it over his forehead, face, and neck. "Just focus on getting better. The sooner you're better, the sooner you can go back to shadowing your sister."

Clarke fell silent after she spoke, and just continued to take care of Bellamy. She found a clean blanket and covered him with it, to stop the shivers he had developed. "You know, when Jason first told me that Octavia was his best friend, I didn't want to believe it. He had spent so much time paying off a guard to visit me, only to get arrested himself when he couldn't pay the guy anymore. I didn't want him to be influenced by Octavia, especially when I found out that she was your sister. I was afraid that her influence on him had led him into something dangerous like drugs and I didn't want that for him."

"But I was wrong. Your sister is a force to be reckoned with, and it's all because of you, Bellamy. You raised her, loved and cared for her, and because of you, she's one of the strongest people that I know. So, no matter what happens in the future, don't ever blame yourself if or when something goes wrong. Because you did more than an older brother should ever
have to do for their sister. You were more like a parent to her. And as for... well... What's going on with both of you now.. I know it's none of my business. But I'm glad she makes
you happy."

Al of this was said softly where only Bellamy could hear. She looked down at the brunette and saw that he was sleeping. Oh well. He probably wouldn't believe the things Clarke had said anyway. They didn't usually get along, and her becoming a sap while he was sick, would probably only irritate him.
 
The illness took a toll on Bellamy. Instead of fighting, the male let peace succumb him while he tried to sleep after taking the antidote. If it was working for the others, Bellamy felt confident it could work for him. Clarke said a few things that took him by surprise. So far, they have not gotten along so well but she had done so much to help himself and Octavia. Just because she was the daughter of Clarke Griffin was not a valid reason to hate her. Only now was Bellamy realizing that and understanding it. Before he fell asleep, though, he did answer Clarke briefly.

“Thank you for everything that you’ve done for Octavia and myself. I would like to speak with my sister on the radio when you have a chance. I was wrong about you, too. I did not like you because who your mother was. I never gave a chance to know the real Clarke Griffin. I hated Jason, too. I hated him because his girlfriend was the daughter of a council member and both of you were guilty by association. I wanted Octavia to have nothing to do with either of you but she is strong, like you said. She knows what is best for her and what she wants. I’m sorry that I was ever a dick to you. I’m going to apologize to Jason, too. I’m glad she has a friend like him and someone with your knowledge to watch over her. I’m sure with time, she will grow to be your friend as well. I’m glad that you aren’t judging us for our relationship. I know it is not typical and many people are against it, but we’re in love and I guess you can understand how when you’re in love, you’ll do anything to be with that person you love. Thank you for being supportive and keeping me healthy right now. I’m going to get some rest. Let me know if there are any major changes.”

Outside, the dead were buried so Jason and the hazmat team entered into the Ark and went through a decontamination and showering process. Hours had passed since he left the infected zone. During this time, he did keep a close eye on Octavia to ensure that nothing happened to her. All was quiet outside the camp. There were no more attacks. Back inside, he found Octavia and showed her the radio in his hand. “This is something we can use to talk to Bellamy, if you want. Clarke has a radio inside.” Just then, Jason radioed inside to Clarke. “Hey, Princess. How are you holding up in there? Everyone is buried and camp has been decontaminated. Are you alright? How is everyone else? If Bellamy has time, I think there is someone that wants to speak to him.” He said with a soft chuckle, looking towards Octavia to see if she wanted to check on her brother.
 
Clarke continued to take care of Bellamy once he fell asleep. She took care of him for a while, and then got up and started going around the room, checking on the others who were still sick. Getting them blankets or water if they needed it, or soothing them with cool washcloths. Four hours later, after many trips around the room taking care of all the other teens, the blonde made her way back over to Bellamy. "Hey, Bellamy. Jason's on the radio with Octavia for you..." She said, and then reached out to grab his arm and gently started to shake him.

As the young woman did that, she had the radio in her other hand. She pressed the button on the side of the radio and spoke. "Everything and everyone is as well as can be expected. They're resting and letting the antidote do it's job. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Nothing a little sleep tomorrow won't cure. I'm waking Bellamy right now, to talk to Octavia." She
said and then shook Bellamy two more times and spoke to him, as she waited for him to wake up. "Come on, Bellamy. I know you don't want to miss a chance to talk to your sister."
The blonde said encouragingly.
_____________________

Octavia barely let Jason finish his sentence before she snatched the radio out of his hand, so she could talk to her brother. "Bellamy? It's Octavia, I love you.." She told him. "I hope that you're starting to feel better. You let me know if there's anything that I can do to help you feel better. I can't wait to have you shadowing me once more and being overprotective. As soon
as you're better, the first thing I'm gonna do is wrap my arms around you, because I hate being away from you." The brunette young woman spoke into the radio and hoped her brother was awake and had heard what she had to say to him.

"You just rest, Bell. Get better, and once you do, we won't have to be away from each other anymore. Okay, I'm going to stop talking and let you rest some more. I love you, Bell." She repeated one last time. "Get some sleep, and get along with Clarke. She's trying to help you. If you have to fight, do it later, when you're better. Good night, Bell." Octavia said and then she handed the radio back to Jason. "Thanks for letting me talk to my brother..." She said softly, and then grabbed her crutches and moved away, starting the slow walk back to her and Bellamy's room.
 
Jason found it amusing when Clarke told him not to worry about her. That was his job and he would always worry about the blonde. Judging by how her voice sounded through the radio, she sounded much better than earlier. Relieved that Clarke was alright, he relinquished control of the radio to Octavia, sure that she wanted to talk with her brother. The male stepped around the corner to give Octavia some privacy on this end when she talked to her older brother. However, he stayed close enough to know when she was finished talking to Bellamy so he could say a couple more words to Clarke.

Bellamy had been sleeping, but not peacefully. In fact, he was half-awake when Clarke started talking to him about Octavia when she was on the other side of the radio. Despite how shitty it felt, he was fully listening to the voice on the other side and he heard her talking to him. It brought a smile to his face as he thought about what she was saying. Yes, he was very protective over his sister so he intended to continue showing that when they were back together. In all honesty, he was doing better.

“I love you too, Octavia. I can’t wait to get out of this place and get back with you. I miss you and I promise that you’ll never have to leave my arms again. Thinking about you is the only thing that’s getting me through.” With a smile, he heard Octavia say goodbye so he did as well. From there, the male handed the radio back to Clarke and thanked her. “Thank you for getting her to radio in for me. That makes me feel better knowing she is safe. Maybe you’re not so bad after all.” He said this last statement with a playful smirk, starting to see Clarke as an ally and friend.

Bellamy had tried to get back to sleep and Jason had the radio again knowing that Clarke did. “I’m going to keep the radio near me, Princess. If you need me to come back in there for anything, just let me know. Otherwise, I’m going to eagerly wait for you because I miss you and love you.” It seemed both males were eager to have their lady back in their arms. “Let me know the second you’re able to clear out of there, Clarke. I’ll be waiting.”
 
"You're welcome," Clarke said and smiled at Bellamy. "Now that you know Octavia's safe and okay, you should get some more sleep. The more sleep you get, the more rest your body gets and a better chance of fighting off the infection it has. So, if you're hungry, let me know and I can have something sent in for you. If not, then you should try and sleep some more. Do you need another blanket?" The blonde asked him and a few moments later, carefully reached out to feel Bellamy's forehead to check his fever. "Your fever's going down, which is good." She said a few minutes later.

"You're not better yet, but I'm sure that by tomorrow afternoon, you'll be back to your ornery self," The blonde teased, only kidding. Sure, he could be a jerk sometimes, but Clarke had finally recognized the behavior for what it was. An act to scare people off from getting too close. Scare them away before he gets in too deep with them and they leave him. "So, you heard the lady. If you're not gonna try and eat, you should at least have some water and then go back to sleep." She paused as Jason came over the radio again and once he finished,
the blonde spoke.

"I think everyone in here will be cleared of the sickness by tomorrow afternoon. After that, they'll all need an extra day of rest, to get back into things. But other than that, within another two days, everyone should be recovered from the virus. As long as there aren't anymore Grounder attacks. Tomorrow, I'm gonna switch out with Octavia, since the others in here won't be contagious anymore. I'm gonna get some rest, and then I'll be better. I love you too, Jase. And I miss you, too. You don't need to come back in here. I'll see you tomorrow afternoon."
 
During the next 24 hours, Jason spent most of his time with Octavia. He made sure that she had something to eat and drink before she slept. Just like himself, he thought Octavia might not have much of an appetite from worrying about her loved one inside the quarantine zone of the Ark. However, they ate together, shared a few laughs and smiles while helping each other lose worry. Jason told Octavia that he and Clarke both fully supported her relationship with Bellamy and they would deal with anyone that gave them a hard time about it. Jason even went as far as suggesting they could all have a version of a double date dinner once everyone recovered.

That night, Jason returned to his room that he shared with Clarke. It was noticeably empty without her and he hated it. It was a struggle to sleep. Bellamy, on the other hand, slept like a baby. Octavia was safe. He was getting better. He felt more tired than anything else, really. The male stayed asleep until early the next morning when he heard some light chattering and moving around. Half of everyone inside this small area were standing up, talking, and even joking around. They were recovering from the infection that had spread throughout the camp.

They were lucky to survive. Not everyone was that lucky. Bellamy sat up slowly and groaned, feeling good enough to actually stand and stretch his body. He found Clarke, wherever she was inside this zone. “Hey there. I’m feeling so much better. When can we get out of this place?” He asked, hoping it was soon so he could finally see Octavia again. The male had no idea how long they had to go without symptoms of fever or infection to be considered recovered, but Bellamy hoped it was going to be soon enough. She was the last missing piece of the puzzle for him feeling better.
 
"I wanna keep you here for just a few more hours. Make sure that the virus is gone from your system. Just humor me, okay? In a few hours, I'll give you a final check-up and then you can resume stalking Octavia." After she spoke, Clarke started to examine Bellamy, without bothering to wait for his permission. She pried open his mouth and then shined a flashlight inside, checking to see if anything in his mouth or throat was swollen and finding nothing. "Good, you're looking a lot better than you were yesterday. How do you feel?" The blonde
asked as she rested a hand against Bellamy's forehead and checked for a fever.

"Your fever's down. If it stays down and you don't show any signs of symptoms of the virus in 4 hours, I'll consider you healthy and you'll be free to go. So, until then, just suck it up and deal." Clarke said as she walked around the room checking on the other's. Several minutes later, the blonde got up from the floor, where she had been kneeling beside one of the others. With a sigh, she walked back over to where Bellamy was, leaned over and grabbed the radio. "Jason, we lost another one. Murphy's dead. I need help getting him out of here and buried."

"Everyone else is doing better and I'll release them in four hours if they pass the final check-up I give them in four hours. Once that's done, I'm gonna crash for the rest of the day." She said into the radio. "Obviously, make sure you guys call me if someone needs help, but for minor injuries, I'd like to ask for Octavia or you to handle them, please." Two hours later, Murphy had been taken from the quarantine zone and buried. The others were still doing well and were getting better and better the more time passed. When the four hours were up,
she checked out everyone and said they were all free to go.

After that was done, Clarke spent another two hours cleaning and scrubbing out every inch of the dropship, to make sure they were rid of the virus, before she finally left and went to
her and Jason's bedroom. The blonde quickly showered, changed her clothes, and then she dropped down onto the bed and passed out, asleep within seconds of her head hitting the pillow. Apparently she had been much more tired than she had thought. The blanket was strewn on the floor, as Clarke tossed and turned as she tried to sleep, but found it useless
as she couldn't sleep unless Jason's arms were around her.
 
Bellamy chuckled weakly when Clarke said he could resume stalking Octavia in a few hours. The male did not see it like stalking, but he did shadow Octavia to the fullest extent. “I am feeling much better. I promise.” Bellamy assured the blonde with a half-smile, looking forward for the time when he could leave. Bellamy agreed with Clarke that he would suck it up. Meanwhile, Jason heard the radio buzz with Clarke’s voice, so he listened. “Ok, Princess. I am going to grab Murphy in a second.” Jason radioed out before telling Octavia the news about Bellamy being released in only a few hours.

Until then, Jason grabbed the hazmat suite again and walked inside to grab Murphy before making a quick exit. Within a couple hours, Murphy had been buried. He hated burying anybody, but Murphy was a complete prick and Jason did not feel an overwhelming sense of grief. When everyone was released, Bellamy immediately left the dropship and he was feeling fine. He thanked Clarke for looking after him before he left. After thanking the blonde, Bellamy made his way towards his and Octavia’s room. The male just wanted to be with his sister now. They were both worried sick about one another because they did not like being separated from each other. Even in space on the Ark, they spent every waking moment together. They had to, for Octavia’s safety.

That did not change on Earth. When he entered their room, a smile was on his face and he wrapped his arms around the brunette immediately, wherever she was. “Hey there, O. I love you and I missed you. We’re all ok now.” He whispered softly, squeezing her head against his chest while he smiled widely, just happy to be reunited. Then, Jason had finished with burying Murphy and helping with the wall. Once a few hours passed and he gave Clarke time to get out, he entered their room and saw Clarke on the bed. None the wiser, he thought she was completely asleep so he tiptoed around to his side of the bed and he lightly wrapped an arm around her waist, just gently nuzzled behind her as he watched her sleep.
 
"Ballamy," She said his name softly, a huge smile on her lips when she saw him. "I'm so glad that you're feeling better," Octavia said, hugging her brother tightly. The brunette kissed his lips once, twice, three times, and then kept going. Finally, the young woman forced herself to calm down and she stopped kissing him. "How are the others doing? Is Clarke okay? I was supposed to go and relieve her in 20 minutes, but Jason didn't want me to go back there and risk getting sick." She took his hands into hers and led him to the bed, so that they could sit down on it together.

"I didn't sleep last night. I couldn't. I can't sleep if you're not nearby.." The young woman admitted softly, and then she ducked her head in embarrassment. "I was worried that you were still sick. And so I stole Jason's radio several times to talk to Clarke and check up on you. She told me that you were getting better, but it was driving me crazy that I couldn't see it for myself. And now you're back," She said softly and smiled. "And now you're just going to rest today and not do anything. So is Clarke, and I'm sure she needs it. We're gonna have to be nice to her from now on," Octavia said and groaned. Though the action was half-hearted, as she really didn't dislike the blonde any longer.
________________________________

Clarke continued to toss and turn as she slept, only finally relaxing at the welcome and familiar feel of an arm around her waist. She opened her eyes and then gave her boyfriend a
tired smile. "How are you feeling?" The blonde asked softly, and turned onto her side so that she was now facing Jason. She placed her head on his pillow and locked eyes with him.
A small smile formed on her lips as they laid there together. "I don't wanna move, I'm so tired.." She admitted to him. "And you can't go, either. I need you close." The young woman
said and wrapped her arms around Jason to keep him there.

"I should start feeling better by tomorrow, but I'm gonna end up going to bed early tonight, so I really need you and Bellamy to find some way to get along. I won't be there to be able
to keep you two in line. And Octavia tries, but she has trouble telling Bellamy no when it comes to him wanting to do or say something, even if he shouldn't. So I'm asking you to be
the bigger person and don't let him get under your skin. I'm sure he'll try, but I'm hoping that he'll be too focused on just wanting to be with Octavia, to be too much of an ass." A few moments later, the blonde fell back asleep.
 
Bellamy entered the room he shared with Octavia and was greeted immediately. The smile was wide on his face as he hugged her back tightly. He continued to kiss her as well, assuring her that Clarke was alright, too. He followed his sister back towards the bed with their hands together. He found it adorable that Octavia could not sleep without him near and that she kept checking on the radio. “That’s right. I can’t sleep without you near me, either. I’m so happy to be better and I’m happy to be back with you.” He whispered with a smile, laying down onto the bed with her, his arms wrapping around her tightly, keeping her head against his chest. This was so damn comfortable.

He liked the idea of resting and chuckled at her comment about Clarke. “You’re right. She’s not so bad. Neither is Jason. I’ll be nice to them both… as long as they don’t give me a reason to be an asshole.” Bellamy grinned, giving her a kiss. “Speaking of resting, you need to get rest, too. You just told me you couldn’t sleep without me near. Now I am here. We both need our rest however it is that we want to get the rest.” He added, nuzzling his nose against her cheek. “I love you, O. You never have to go that long without me again. I swear.”

Jason smiled when Clarke woke up and asked him how he was feeling. “I am feeling so much better now that you’re back here in my arms. How are you?” Jason asked softly, leaning in for a kiss on her lips. He knew Clarke must be tired. Not only was she infected with the sickness, but she took care of everyone and did not even allow herself to rest. “You don’t have to move and I’m sure as hell not going anywhere. I’m never leaving your side again. I was scared, Clarke. I can’t imagine what I would do without you.” He admitted, giving her another kiss. Himself and Clarke were so closely connected. Jason was head over heels in love.

His arms wrapped tight around her waist as he listened to her talk. After she fell asleep, Jason smiled to himself and gently stroked his fingers through her hair before nuzzling his nose against hers and falling asleep. Now, there was nothing to worry about. Clarke was safe and back in his arms. Jason found it rather easy to fall asleep now since she was back where she belonged and there was no longer the threat of the illness. They both could use the sleep.
 
"Who says you need a reason to be an asshole?" Octavia teased her brother playfully. She kissed him sweetly, to take the sting out of her words. "I'm just kidding. Well, partially. You can be... difficult sometimes. But so can I, I know. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that you're back here with me, where you belong." The two of them talked a little more with each other, before falling asleep in each other's arms and sleeping the best they had since the illness had infected the camp. A few hours later she was the first to wake up, and she smiled, completely relaxed in Bellamy's arms as she watched him sleep.

The brunette stayed like that for a few hours, just letting her brother sleep. Eventually, when it started to get dark, she pressed a gentle kiss to Bellamy's lips to wake him. "Bell, wake up. We should get something to eat and check on the others.." Octavia said, giving him a big smile, when his dark eyes opened and locked on her own dark ones. "Come on, sleepy." Octavia kissed her brother, and lifted a hand to caress his cheek. "If you come without fuss, I'll make it worth your while later on.." The young woman said, as an incentive to get her brother moving quicker.
______________________

She slept for hours. Clarke wasn't sure what time it was when her eyes finally opened as she woke up. The blonde was still wrapped up in her boyfriend's arms, and a smile came over her lips as she shifted in his arms and cuddled in even closer to him. "Good morning," The young woman said softly, and kissed him. "I'm sorry that I fell asleep on you later night....." She said, wanting him to know that it wasn't on purpose. A few moments later, the blonde started running her fingers through Jason's hair, a smile on her lips as they enjoyed the quiet peace of the morning.

"Right now, I just wanna enjoy this quiet time we have together. In a little while, we can start our day, okay? I'm not ignoring our friends, but I do think that we deserve a little time to ourselves after everything we've been through lately." She rested her head against Jason's chest and just locked her arms around his waist, holding him close. "I know that I say it a lot, but I love you so much. You're my strength. I just look at you and I know that no matter what happens, I have to keep pushing, keep going. Keep doing what I can for us, and for all of our friends."

A few moments later, Clarke pulled back and took off her shirt. She tossed it aside and then pushed the blankets off of Jason's body and immediately her hands were right at his pants, undoing them and slipping them down his legs. "Jase, I want you.." The blonde said softly. "I want to show you how much I love you and how much I hated being away from you when everyone was sick."
