A must - read is 'A Path to Recovery'. In this one, Bellarke are both dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event. They find comfort in each other in a very realistic way. The author does a great job of showing how they heal not just physically but also emotionally through their connection.
The relationship between them needs to be the focus. The comfort part should feel genuine. It could be Clarke gently cleaning Bellamy's wounds and their silent understanding of each other in that moment. Also, a good plot that ties into the hurt and comfort is important. Maybe they are in a dangerous situation like being trapped and one is injured, and the other has to find a way to save them while also providing emotional support.
