[ to him, that's the whole point — get her to chase him. even though raven's probably chased after him enough, he's been filled with the urge to goad her into doing so. literally and even now, once he's come to acknowledge how he's felt — and that it hasn't been so terrible to feel it at all, wanting her in a way that leaves him and herself vulnerable — he's tried to make her chase after him to somehow tackle him into the ground. it's that weight that bellamy finds comfort in, someone anchoring him when he otherwise thinks to float away. ]
[ ducking out of her reach now is meant to rile her into action — and he's not surprised when it works. fully expecting her to forget her game, he's surprised to not feel her hands in his hair or on his back, gripping him and keeping him in place unless he moved away once again. she's never really needed to sink her hands into him to keep him to her. unlike the pieces of metal and gadgetry she works with, bellamy won't fall away if he isn't screwed into place. he lingers because he wants to, and he thinks, if anything, she knows that. ]
[ smiling against her lips, he's distracted for a moment by his amusement, starting to laugh before he focuses and responds to her by opening his mouth — still curved upward — beneath her own. ]
