- "I'm doing us both a favor so stop talking."

I grabbed the collar of his jacket and pulled him down, finally crashing my lips with his. Fuck, it felt so good... it felt right. He didn't waste a second to respond, his lips moving against mine with such hunger I thought we might end up in bed again; his hands slid inside the back pockets of my pants, pulling me closer as he deepened the kiss, his tongue inside my mouth as I rested my whole body against his. It was intoxicating. I couldn't even remember why I avoided it in the first place. We were right. We belong together.

- "If all the favors you do to me are like this," –he took my chin in his hand, a proud smile on his lips- "keep them coming, love."

- "You got it, boss."

- "Bellamy, come in." –Monty's voice came through the radio, interrupting the moment Bellamy and I were having.

- "And here I was thinking I could get you into bed now." –he smirked down at me, taking the walkie from his pants, but not letting go of me- "Come in, Monty."

- "We're having a meeting at the Chancellor's office, you should join us."

- "We're on our way." –he put the walkie away and pecked my lips before speaking again- "This will have to continue later."

- "Yeah." –I chuckled pulling away- "Saving the human race comes first now."

- "Saving my family comes first... my girls."

I didn't want to say anything that could potentially have ruined his mood, so I nodded at him with a smile as we both walked together to the Chancellor's office. Roan, Kane, Monty, and Clarke were already there as we entered the room; the tension could have been cut with my blade.

- "So..." –Bellamy started- "What do we got?"

- "Sectors 3, 4, and 5 sustained the worst damage; we lost the server room, all of our processors and life support systems, and half of our living quarters." –Monty quickly went over everything- "Now, backup power will keep the lights on at night in the rooms that survived but we'll have no heat or running water from today onwards..." –well, then it's a good thing I got one final shower in- "... and no way to restore it or reseal the ship before the radiation gets here."

- "Is there any good news?"

- "Well, no one died." –Kane sighed before answering Bellamy.

- "Yet." –I couldn't help but scoff- "Whatever neurons we all have left in our brains, I suggest we put them to good use."

- "We need to focus all our resources into the nightblood solution." –Clarke moved next to me as she spoke- "Fuel loaded?"

- "It's in process."

- "But it's not going to be an easy ride." –Kane pointed out after Monty answered Clarke.

- "Care to elaborate?" –I crossed my arms over my chest.

- "With the secret of Praimfaya out, I sent Echo and my army back to polis to keep the peace." –Roan's eyes had been on me since I entered the room; I wasn't sure how to feel about it.

- "That's good, we need the peace to distribute the cure." –Clarke spoke before I did.

- "What's the problem then?"

- "More than half of them deserted on the way." –Roan didn't move his eyes from me, and I couldn't help but get the feeling there was something else he was not saying.

- "Spit it out, Roan." –I challenged him- "You think they ran away because I killed your war chief?"

- "That couldn't have helped."
