10 Things To Know About O

Hi. This little one-shot was inspired by Forest Blakk's If You Love Her. I heard the song yesterday and fell in love with it. The music video even made me cry, so you should definitely check it out if you haven't heard it yet.

Also, this works with any of the guys Octavia's been in a relationship with over the course of the show, so feel free to ship her with anyone you like.

I hope you enjoy this story, and don't forget to Follow, Favourite and Review.

He watches his sister get all dolled up. She dons a beautiful butterfly motif dress that flows with every step she takes, her hair is in an elaborate braid tied off with a single red ribbon, and her make up is much more sophisticated than anything she's done when playing dress up.

Tears can't help but pool in his eyes. Gone is the little girl who chased butterflies, who he read to, who he sang to sleep. His baby sister is already grown up.

And he can't believe he's about to give her away.

1. Let your arms be a place she feels safe in.

He's the first person, aside from the doctors, to hold her after she was born. He was the one who watched as her eyes took it's first glance of the world around them. He had watched as she yawned before seemingly burrowing deeper into his arms.

It was at that moment, he knew he'd love her forever; she's his sister, his responsibility.

2. She always has trouble falling asleep. And she likes to cuddle while under the sheets.

"Bell." Her little voices whispers, and he's immediately awake. "I can't sleep. Can I sleep with you?"

He stares into her big blue eyes, brushes the stray strand of hair behind her ear, before sending her a soft smile, sliding to the other side of the mattress.

"Of course you can, O." He lifts the covers off, welcoming her in, and tucks the blanket around the both of them.

He holds her tight, afraid she'd fall off the edge, and she cuddles closer into him. Her cold feet are tucked into his side, and he takes a moment to cup his hands around them, rubbing them to give them some warmth.

"Sleep, O. I'll protect you." He pulls her towards him, her small frame curling into a ball, and as she sleeps, he hopes she'll always love cuddles and want him to cuddle with her.

3. She loves pop songs, and dancing, and bad trash TV.

Noise erupts from the living room as he's cooking, and he rolls his eyes, telling his sister to turn down the music. When nothing changes, he leaves the kitchen in search of her.

He finds her, hairbrush in hand, dancing around the living room. She's jumping off the couches, "Mic" poised high in the air, as she performs for her imaginary crowd. Her singing is off-key and the song she had been singing to has long since ended, leaving one of those weirdly appealing MTV shows playing, but he can't find it in him to tell her to stop.

The joy on her face is apparent; her eyes are alight, her grin is wide, stretching from ear to ear, and there's no way he'd take this moment from her. So he turns off the stove, grabs a camera to take a few shots of her, before joining in. There's no way he's going to miss out on this moment either.

4. She loves love notes and babies, and likes giving gifts.

He has to cover his ears as she and Clarke squeals, the pair of them jumping in excitement over the gifts they had gotten for Valentine's day.
