The Red Jacket (Octaven)

Four | Rovers and Relationships

Octavia woke up in the morning feeling well rested and at peace, she knew why. She observed the brunette sleeping soundly with her arms wrapped around her, she had a small grin on her face even while she was sleeping, adorable.

Octavia placed a soft kiss onto Raven's forehead and slowly moved out of the bed as to not disturb her slumber. It's not like she wanted to get out of bed, she just knew she'd never leave if she stayed any longer.

She skipped all the way to Clarke's tent to go tell her all about how her nightmares haven't been back. As Octavia arrived at Clarke's tent another person was just leaving.

Octavia gave her a nod to acknowledge her presence. "Commander". "Octavia" She nodded back.

Octavia walked into the tent to see a smiling Clarke sitting on the edge of her bed. "So I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that she wasn't here for 'Commander things' " Octavia smirked playfully.

"I beg to differ Octavia" Clarke said with a wink.

"And why is that Clarkie?" She asked as she raised her eyebrow.

"She's the Commander of this ass" Clarke mumbled under her breath.

"CLARKE GRIFFIN" Octavia yelled shocked at what her friend had just said.

Clarke and Octavia immediately burst out into a huge fit of laughter to the point where they were both on the ground struggling to regain their breath.

Once they both settled down they both sat up and Octavia decided to talk to the blonde about why she really came.

"I haven't been having nightmares anymore!" She hummed contently.

"That's awesome O! So you found a way to make them go away?" She asked as she cocked her head to the side curiously.

"Well sort of, it's technically not me getting rid of them" Octavia smiled at the thought of the brunette.

"Oh? Who's this person then?" Clarke asked as she playfully wiggled her eyebrows.

"Oh shut up Griffin" Octavia punched her in the shoulder.

"It's Raven isn't it?" She said with a smirk.

"Wait how did you know?"

"You called me Griffin, that's Rae's thing, aww she's rubbing off on you" Clarke's expression softened.

"Plus you should see the way that you two look at each other, it's adorable" Clarke gave genuine smile and hugged her before she left the tent.
________________________________

Raven woke up to an empty bed that was still warm, she wishes that she could've woken up to Octavia but she understood why she wasn't there, Raven wouldn't want to leave either.

She slipped her arms into the familiar feel of her red jacket and walked towards her workshop to start her work for the day. The projects have been non stop lately. She'd been working on the rovers and the radios mostly but had many other things on the side.

She loved being a mechanic, and she was same good at it she just wished that it didn't take up as much time as it did. She knew that she'd want it to take up even less time now that Octavia was in her life. Even though they just started feeling this way for each other, their feelings were both so strong for one another.

Sure Raven had been in a relationship before and she would say that she loved Finn, but what she felt for Octavia was indescribable. It was stronger than she's felt for anyone before, it kind of scared her how much she really cared for her.

Octavia may have not been with Lincoln as long as Raven was with Finn, but she really did love him. The day she'd lost Lincoln was probably the worst day of her life, the amount of pain she felt was unbearable. Ever since she'd started to feel romantically towards Raven she promised herself that she'd never let anything bad happen to her. She couldn't lose this girl, she meant too much to her.

Raven immersed herself in her work on the rover. When she got focused there was almost no way to get her attention until she was finished. The key word was, almost.

A dark haired girl skipped into the workshop and found her way next to the brunette working underneath the rover .

"Hey Rae!" Octavia hummed.

Raven got so excited she immediately smacked her head on the bottom of the car and gripped her forehead as she rolled out from under it.

Octavia of course found this extremely funny and started laughing but soon stopped after she had earned herself a glare from Raven.

"I'm sorry Rae, come here" she said in between small laughs as she wrapped her arms around the mechanic.

"You're lucky that you're cute, babe" Raven mumbled into the girls neck, with her eyes immediately going wide as she realized what she had just said.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't m-mean to-" the usually confident girl's stuttered words were cut of when Octavia pressed her lips against hers.

"It's ok Rae, I thought it was cute, actually I think you're cute" Octavia said while poking Raven's nose, making her blush.

"O?" Raven asked with a small, wavering voice.

"Hmm?" She hummed.

"What are we?" She gave her a shy look.

"Well, I would be honoured if you'd be my girlfriend, Raven" Octavia looked at her with a sparkle in her eye.

"Is that your dorky way of asking me, Blake?" Raven smirked.

"Yes?" Octavia said shyly.

"I would love nothing more" Raven said as she pulled Octavia's lips against hers into a passionate kiss.

Octavia let out a happy sigh of relief, making Raven smile into the kiss and let a small chuckle escape. They each pulled away from the kiss to catch their breath and they rested their foreheads together, each sporting a huge, dorky smile on their faces.

This was one of the few times they can both say that they are genuinely happy.

"Is it bad that right now I'm thankful the life support on the ark failed?" Raven asked jokingly.

Octavia giggled causing Raven's smile to grow even wider than it already was.

Reluctantly breaking the moment, Raven pulls away but quickly apologizes by placing a quick kiss on Octavia's cheek.

"Believe me I'd much rather be with you right now, but Sinclair wants me to have the rover finished by the end of the day"

"It's ok babe, I knew what I was getting into by dating the youngest Zero-G mechanic in 50 years" Octavia said with a proud look on her face.

"52 but who's counting?" Raven smirked at Octavia.

"All the more impressive. Well, I'll let you get back to doing your important things, you can do this important thing later" Octavia winked and quickly left the room, leaving Raven to think about what she'd just said.

"Holy shit, that was hot and witty. She's fucking perfect for me" She hummed to herself thinking about her girl. She loved how that sounded, even if it was just in her own thoughts.

Raven Reyes was dating Octavia Blake, and even in this messed up world, that made everything seem perfect.
