Summary
The relationship between Clarke Griffin and Bellamy Blake starts out antagonistic towards each other. In the beginning, Bellamy shows a great amount of animosity towards Clarke and considers her to be one of the "privileged" in the heirarchy the Ark created. Bellamy looked down on Clarke because of her upbringing on the Ark. Meanwhile, Clarke often disagrees with the decisions Bellamy makes.

However, as season one goes on, their relationship develops into a partnership. Their partnership grows into a friendship filled with mutual respect and trust. They are both shown to care if the other lives or dies.

Bellamy and Clarke have been known to clash on many different occasions. This often leads them to be on the opposite sides of an argument. The two have also been known to contradict one another. One such occasion is when Bellamy makes a speech about staying at the camp and fighting the Grounders. Minutes later, Clarke makes a contradicting speech about surviving to fight another day and that they should leave camp.

Clarke shows great concern for Bellamy during the fight with the Grounders. She refuses to close the door until Bellamy is back. When Clarke is forced to leave both Bellamy and Finn outside to die, she is shown to be remorseful as she closes the Dropship door.

In the second season, Clarke doesn't want to believe that Bellamy and Finn are dead and desperately she tries to get out of Mount Weather to uncover the truth. The two meet again in the fifth episode, and they exchange a passionate embrace. Their friendship becomes so intimate that they support each other in all decisions and understand at one glance. Bellamy comes to understand he would do anything to protect her and Clarke understands that their proximity is something dangerous, a weakness, that she must turn away to avoid suffering.
