Heartbeat
There’s a giant bonfire in the center of camp. They survived their first winter on the ground, and now that all the snows melted, they're celebrating.
I love it when we're at a party in a down-town crowd
But I can hear you call me baby with the music up loud
Clarke and Bellamy are dancing together near the fire with their friends. Buzzing from the Moonshine, and just happy that they survived. Together. They were together, the thought still made Clarke’s head spin. She loved Bellamy. And he loved her.
Red wine, good times, no I don't mind being with everyone else
And then there's nights like tonight that I, I want you to myself
She normally loved spending time with their friends. She’s never minded sharing Bellamy. But that isn’t what she wanted tonight. She just wanted Bellamy. Just him, all for herself.
And tonight I wanna drive so far we'll only find static on the radio
And we can't see those city lights and I love the way you look in a firefly glow
“Bell,” She whispered pulling back. She took his hand in hers and tugged, leading him away from the party. Once they hit the gates, they ran. Both of them laughing madly as they got farther and farther from camp, till the glow of the fire was barely visible.
Saying everything without making a sound, a cricket choir in the background, underneath a harvest moon
Bellamy wrapped his arms around her from behind pulling her back against his chest. There was a gap in the branches up above, the full moon casting them in light among the dark. She turned around in his arms, not needing to say a thing for him to know what she’s thinking.
Standing on your shoes in my bare feet, dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Oh woah, and we're dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Clarke kicks her shoes off when they start dancing in the moonlight. Gazes locked, neither of them want to look away. Bellamy grins down at her before lifting her feet off the ground and putting her on his feet. Leaning down he kisses her gently before he starts moving them around the small clearing. “I love you Princess.”
And I wanna feel it like a kick drum, beating faster in your chest
I wanna feel you holding onto me and make me hold my breath
You pull me closer, my head on your shoulder, baby we won't beat the song
Her hands press against his chest, over his heart. She can feel it pounding against her fingers. Sighing softly Clarke lays her head on his shoulder. Content. His arms are around her waist, holding her firmly against him. “I love you too, Bell.” A quiet laugh escapes her when he squeezes her sides.
We'll make a fallen star wish, one more slow kiss, what are we waiting on?
“Make a wish,” Bellamy whispers near her ear. Lifting her head to look at him, he nodded up at the sky. Looking up, she saw a shooting star. Pushing up to her tip toes, she kisses him softly. “I got my wish.”
And tonight I wanna drive so far we'll only find static on the radio
And we can't see those city lights and I love the way you look in a firefly glow
Alone in the middle of the woods they don’t have to be leaders, they’re just Clarke and Bellamy, just them together as they dance around the clearing.
Saying everything without making a sound, a cricket choir in the background, underneath a harvest moon
Clarke loved having him all to herself like this. She loved how they didn’t need words to know what the other was thinking. They'd never needed words, not really.
Standing on your shoes in my bare feet, dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Yeah we're dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
She put her cheek on his shoulder, her nose nuzzling against his neck. Hearts beating in sync. They danced slowly in the woods, oblivious to the world around them.
I wanna feel it like a kick drum, beating faster in your chest
He looked down and they locked eyes. Clarke could feel her heart speed up. The pull was magnetic. They moved closer, and closer together. Until finally, their lips found each other.
And tonight I wanna drive so far we'll only find static on the radio
And we can't see those city lights and I love the way you look in a firefly glow
When they go back to camp, they stick to the edge, staying away from the crowd. Clarke wasn't ready to share Bellamy again, not yet. They made it to his cabin without being noticed. He ushered her inside first where she stood in he dark, his curtains blocking out the glow from the fire. Their eyes glowed in the dark.
Saying everything without making a sound
With a river rolling in the background underneath the harvest moon
Standing on your shoes in my bare feet, dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Bellamy stepped up behind her and picked her up. She loved how his biceps flexed against her back. Her arms instantly found their spot around his neck as he moved them to his room.
And we're dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
They laid down curled up in each other. Not caring about the rest of the world. The camp would survive the rest of the night without the two Delinquent leaders. Bellamy pulled her against him, kissing the crown of her head. Clarke loved falling asleep in his arms, to the rhythm of his heartbeat
