[ bellamy opens his mouth, looking at the television, then decides he's changing his stance entirely once he looks at her. he lifts his arm and stretches it along the top of the couch behind her, an absent choice of his own as he doesn't rest his head on the cushions. ] How about we don't tell O about this at all? She doesn't need anymore bad ideas.
[ as responsible and mature that she is, octavia may want to try it. if car stunts are anything like this movie, but with a touch of realism, he wants his little sister far, far away from what could kill her. it's funny, given where they've lived for the last few months, but he can't save her from what he can barely understand. ]
[ he doesn't think about his arm being pressed flat against the top of the cushions behind her, either. ]
[She laughs to herself,] Predictable. [And continues to watch the movie. In her opinion, it doesn't matter what she doesn't tell Octavia, she'll do whatever she feels like if she wants to explore. And Raven would rather just tell her what stuff you can't do with a car, than all the things you can't.
But that's just her.
The movie's plot is predictable, and cheesy, and she still gets into it. Enough that she doesn't have problems putting the draining argument behind her, enough that gradually -- the couch is small alright, and they're gonna anyway -- leans closer towards him.]
[ the day bellamy isn't predictable when it comes to octavia is the very day they all need to worry. ]
[ what he doesn't expect, though, is how relaxed he feels. so much so, he finds himself almost drifting. on the ground, he had always been alert, on edge, waiting for the next grounder to attack, wondering when the next kid will die. while some of the loud bangs jolt him a little, he soon becomes almost too comfortable. with his arm melting along the back of the couch, bellamy rests against the cushions and leans his head to the opposite side of raven. only at some times does he find he closes his eyes and then misses an entire section of dialogue, but he always ends up opening them, finding himself a little lost until someone hops into a damn car and drives. ]
[ he hasn't let himself sleep for long since coming to eudio, unable to stay awake for hours on end. it's partly mount weather'so fault, requiring him to be alert at every hour, partly the ground's as he had come to learn he needed to always be on the ball. he closes his eyes again; it's not deliberate he chooses to "rest" them, but it's the excuse he'll go for, anyway. ]
[She can tell he's falling asleep, and doesn't know if to bring it up and laugh at him or let him be. The truth is that it wouldn't bother her, but if he falls asleep against her, then this'll be it. He'll be the first person to have spent the night, and the first person who she hasn't ran out on immediately. It'd be ironic, given that he was also the first person she ever slept with other than Finn.
It's just a lot of irony in the air tonight.
She's seen the movie countless times by now, she knows what to look for and what to ignore. If she had something to fiddle with, it'd be easier to ignore the fact that he's resting his eyes.
This way, it puts her in the position where she has to choose. What does she do, if he does nap on her couch? In the end, the answer is: lets him.]
[ it's kind of like when the grounders had chosen biowarfare was the best way to weaken their enemy. bellamy had fought against the compulsion to collapse for so long that it really shouldn't have surprised him or anyone who was paying attention that his legs had given way right by his own tent. he doesn't remember how he even got into the drop ship, but all he can recall is o hovering over him, just as he had her when she had been born. he had tried to keep his eyes open for as long as he could, but he inevitably lost that battle. ]
[ it isn't as intense of a situation as it was back then, but bellamy makes a valiant effort to keep his eyes open. he doesn't so much as shift against the couch much, simply resting his head on the top of it as he opens his eyes to watch to only find he lulls away into sleep to find himself at a different section of the movie and no recollection of how they'd gotten there at all. ]
[ he doesn't think to say anything as he beliebes he'll stay wide awake, but all he does is sigh before he does fall asleep, comfortable and boneless against the cushions of the couch as he's well-aware of raven being beside him. ]

Wouldn't that be almost acceptable to her liking it for the idea of car stunts?
