The Red Jacket (Octaven)

Seven | Goodbyes

Octavia went back to her tent to gather things that she would need for the hunt. She brought the radio that Raven made in order to talk to her, that was going to be the hardest part about this whole hunt. Not trying to get food, not keeping an eye out for any enemies or other forms of danger, being away from Raven. That was going to be the hardest part. Sure, it was already tough when she would leave before, but that was when they were just best friends. When they had no idea that they had these kinds of feeling for one another, when she thought that Raven would be fine without her, and that she would be alright on her own.

Now she knows better. She knows that if she got hurt, or even if she didn't, Raven would be back at camp, worrying. Her girlfriend had faith in her, of course, but there was always the possibility that she could be hurt nonetheless. She would feel the same way if it was Raven in this position, she cares more for this one girl, than she has for anyone in her entire life. That may not be many people considering that she was forced to live under the floors for most of her life, but that lead her to care dearly for the people she did know.

Octavia was quickly brought out of her thoughts when a certain red jacket was thrown at her face.

"What the hell Rae?!" Octavia squealed.

"I'm not letting you leave without it, O"

"And why is that?" She asked with a smirk.

"I don't want you getting cold... or anyone getting the idea that you're not mine because you're away from me" Raven mumbled the last part, slightly embarrassed about how protective she was of her girlfriend. I mean how couldn't she be, this girl is her rock, her world, her everything.

As much as Raven didn't want Octavia to hear the last part, she definitely did, and it melted her heart.

"Aww babe, you're so cute" she hummed as she wrapped her arms around the mechanic, engulfing her in a warm and loving hug.

"Hey, O?" Raven said shyly.

"Hmm?"Octavia hummed in response.

"You know how I never got to say what I wanted to earlier?"

"Yeah, what is it, Rae?"

"I um, I- I love you- I know it's pretty soon in our relationship but I just feel really safe and happy when I'm with you and-"

Raven's rambling was cut off by the most loving and passionate kiss she had ever received. Octavia's soft lips against hers, telling her that she loves her without actually saying it. Raven smiled into the kiss, causing Octavia to giggle and break it.

"I love you, Raven Reyes" she said looking in her eyes like there was no one else in the world.

The usually confident and cocky mechanic was soon a blushing mess who attempted to hide her blush by nestling her head into the crook of her girlfriend's neck, but failing miserably as Octavia could feel the warmth radiating off of her.

"Come back soon okay? And be safe, I don't want any bad happening to you, ever" she mumbled into her neck.

"I'll be back, I promise. You can't get rid of me that easily, babe" Octavia said as she placed a loving kiss on the crown of Raven's head.

Their moment eventually came to an end when Bellamy walked into the tent, looking for Octavia so they could start the hunt.

"Well would you look at that! Reyes is a softie!" He teased.

"Oh fuck off Blake, I can still beat your ass if needed" Raven hissed.

Bellamy's eyes suddenly widened and he quickly scurried out of the tent, causing his sister to laugh loudly at his antics.

Octavia sent a loving and longing look at Raven, who still had her hand intertwined with Octavia's. The mechanic quickly pulled her back into an embrace as an attempt to get her to stay.

"I know baby, I know" Octavia whispered as she rubbed her back.

"I'll be home as soon as possible. Okay?"

-
