Animosity ? Um. When ? Except the first few episodes, they're like super best friends.

Anyway.

I ship Bellarke. I personally think that Bellamy is in love with her (or at least, he was before the time jump). As for Clarke, I don't know.

I really find their relationship beautiful, one of the most beautiful and strongest I've ever seen. They're always there for each other, they trust each other, they rely on each other, they support each other. Even when they don't agree, they always find a way to come back to each other. They know each other. They don't even need words to talk. They know what to say to make the other feel better. They also know when to call the other out. Bellamy doesn't think he deserves to live but Clarke is there to remind him that he does. Clarke doesn't think that she deserves to live but Bellamy is there to remind her that she does. They're each other's weakness and strength in the same time. They center each other. They complete each other. Bellamy is a better man and leader when he's with Clarke or when he's listening to her advice. Clarke is a better woman and leader when she's with or when she's listening to his advice. He's the heart, she's the head. Clarke inspires Bellamy and Bellamy inspires the masses. There's a deep understanding between them, one look is enough. They can open up to each other, open their hearts to each other. See how Bellamy never cries, but when he's with Clarke, he's not afraid to do it ? See how Clarke is always trying to keep all her emotions to herself, keep an icy facade but when she's with him, she knows she can break down if she needs to ?

They're just soulmates (confirmed by JRoth).

At this point, I don't even care if they ever become canon. Their strong friendship is already more meaningful than any other non-family bond ever written on the show.

I completely agree with everything you said! I love that work through their problems together like a real couple, and it's a sign of a good relationship that they never fail to find each other and help and guide each other. They balance each other out. It's brilliant.
