I don't know what you expected. To see sparks fly from the beginning of the show? It is a slow-burn, which actually makes it one of the realest relationships. They grew from an kinda antagonostic relationship to friends, to very good friends and respect and ultimately Bellarke will happen. It is essential in the books and I doubt they will never go down that route.

Most couples of shows aren't having signs from the beginning (Tyler and Caroline - Vampire Diaries, Stefan and Caroline - Vampire Diaries, Toby and Spencer - Pretty Little Liars, Barney and Robin - How I Met Your Mother)

Once they decided it is the right time, they dropped subtle hints and ultimately it lead to them being together. I actually love the slow-burn for Bellarke, it makes it far more realistic and I adore actually really seeing how they came to love each other.
