Episode Ten: The One Where Octavia Sees The Teddy Bear

Octavia was having too much fun, not only had they gone to almost every place in New York but they also had sex in every place in New York. She never thought you could do it in a bumper cart but she was proven wrong. Lincoln was examining the caramel apple she had given to him. She nearly laughed from the way his eyebrows knitted together and his eyes squinted.

"It taste good. I promise." She insisted, taking a bite of his first and then saying a 'yummy' for exaggeration.

He bites into it, slowly, and soon smiles when he swallows. Biting again and again and it's gone in less than a minute.

Octavia laughs. "I cant believe you haven't had a caramel apple! Their, like, the best."

"You say that about a lot of things and I didn't like that other thing you made me taste." Lincoln explains and she snorts again.

"Yeah, but last time I was being sarcastic. I didn't know you'd actually try to bite in half a jaw breaker."

"I nearly broke my jaw." He grumbled.

"Hence the fitting name." She bumps her hip with his.

She stares at the caramel apple and a memory flows to her mind. "You know my brother and I use to buy a little package at the store to make this, Bellamy always got it in his teeth and hated it but he use to make it for me everyday for our dessert. He didn't ever complain about it. A matter of fact I thought he loved it until I saw my mom helping him get the caramel out of his teeth." Octavia laughed at the memory.

"Did you still make him eat it?" Lincoln asks.

"I switched it around a little. We ate caramel when it was my turn to pick the dessert and although Bellamy would pick the same dessert I'd say it was against the rules and you have to think of your own candy so he picked donuts. He got me the one with the sprinkles and he'd demand they put Boston cream in it. The workers there always gave him a hard time but you know Bell, he made sure to get what he needed. Almost got arrested for it too."

"Do you think your brother still doesn't like me?"

"He likes you."

He raises an eyebrow at her which makes her smile fall. "He does. He has a respect for you, at least. He just thinks you're a little too old for me."

"I am."

"No, you aren't. I'm the one that says who's too old for me or who isn't my type. That's my call, not yours or Bellamy's."

Lincoln is ten years older than her. That's not much of a difference if you really think hard about it. He frowns, staring at the ground as they continue their walk around Manhattan, looking at the various buildings. She knows how badly he wants Bellamy to like him, knows that he wants them to get along because technically that's like getting along with her parent.

Octavia doesn't have any parents anymore and Bellamy was the only parent she had when she was younger. When the teachers asked for a parent teacher conference, it wasn't their dead beat dad or their lunatic mother who cared for her - it was Bellamy, he'd come at just the age of fourteen when they had first called the house saying they wanted a meeting.

Her teachers laughed when they saw Bellamy in a too big suit as he tried to look mature. When they did this, Bellamy turned to Octavia and knelt down to her with his big older-brother grin. "Can you wait outside for a minute?" He asked her, rubbing his thumb over her shoulders and she nodded.

She pretended to close the door behind her but she hid behind the stack of books on the floor as she listened to what he said, she had almost forgotten this memory but it came back to her suddenly. She hadn't even remembered it happened. Bellamy banged his hands on the table and growled. "Your gonna pretend like I'm an adult here because from the parents I have - I am, I'm the most mature thing your gonna get. If you want I can track my dad down but he lives in a box and anytime he gets money he saves it for alcohol, drugs or prostitutes. My mother is crazy and is a sex addict.

"I'd call the authorities on her but I love my sister so damn much that I don't care how many time she slaps me with or without her rings on - I'll take it! Because I fuckin' love my baby sister so I'm gonna go get her and your gonna close those mouths of yours and not say a word about our parents because I told her they were busy on a business trip to help give us some money. I have a lot on my plate, I have to work five jobs because I told her that lie. I told her that our parents would give her that fifty dollar stuff animal she wanted in Toys R Us and I don't really have time for this. Octavia wont do whatever she did again. Now, come on let's get this over with in two minutes because I have a job in ten minutes. Now smile." They give a tense smile and he nods. "Good."

She runs outside, her eyes are wide with surprise and Bellamy opens the door and smiles at her. "Hey monster. I'm done talking about the really adult stuff. You can come in now." He had told her, scooping her up in his arms and kissing her eyebrow.

"Where is mommy and daddy?" She had asked.

"Business trip. Their making so much money for us Octavia! We're gonna be rich!" He leads her into the room, setting her down in her seat and sits in his own across from her teachers who still look scared.

"That teddy bear I want in Toys R Us is expensive. Are you sure they can get it for me?" She asks.

"Yup. Our parents work hard, O. They'll get you that teddy bear by today." He grinned at her.

(She had gotten the teddy bear at 4 am midnight, Bellamy came in with a sore back, a sweaty body and a tired grin.)

"Octavia?" Lincoln asked, snapping her out of her thoughts. She whipped her heard so fast over to him she's pretty sure she got whip lash. "You okay?"

She looks up, the Toys R Us right in front of her. A big teddy bear on display at the front and her eyes widen. He had lied about the price. It was a hundred dollars. He had only said it was fifty. She scoffs, she knew the teddy bear was cute and fluffy and at least the size of her but a hundred dollars for a teddy bear seemed so much. She wondered if Bellamy thought the same and if so why did he still get it? She put her hand on the glass and frowned.

"Do you want me to buy you it? I think I have enough money."

"Nah," she tells him, intertwining her fingers with his. "let's go ride the bikes inside instead."

Jasper was now interrogating Miller.

Monty had checked if Jasper was sleeping on the couch before he snuck out Miller but Jasper was faking and right when Miller walked out, Jasper pointed his finger at him and had exclaimed, "Aha!"

Miller froze, looking over his shoulder to Monty who gave a sigh and walked over to the fridge to get some moonshine or any other type of alcoholic beverage.

"Why do you keep trying to hide me from him?" Jasper accused Monty.

"Because I actually want a relationship and I don't want you scaring him off." Monty explains dryly.

Miller snorts.

Monty pours Miller a cup, giving him a certain look that reads: I'm sorry and sits on the couch as he watches Jasper push Miller into a barcalounger as he walks around him to look him over. "Is this gonna take long? I have an early shift today." Miller explains.

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." Jasper shrugs, trying to go for the whole 'mysterious bad boy' thing but failing when Monty snorts.

"What movie are you trying to copy?" Monty asks.

"Shut up, I'm trying to seem intimidating!" Jasper whispers but Miller raises an eyebrow because he can hear just as well. Jasper looks back to him, circling around him again. "So you want to date my brother, huh?"

"I actually am already. But yes, I want to continue dating him."

"Uh-huh." Jasper nods, stopping mid stride and goes "Boo!" to him which makes Miller cock his head to the side.

"What did you want me to do when you did that?" He genuinely asks.

"Nothing, I just ran out of stuff to say." Jasper admits and Miller laughs.

"Well, alright." He stands up, extending his hand to Jasper. "Pleasure meeting you."

"The pleasure was all yours." Jasper says, shaking his hand nonetheless and Miller raises an eyebrow.

"Okay then, this was...real." Miller says, patting Jasper's shoulder and he kisses Monty's cheek. "See ya later?"

"Yeah sure, I'll come by your place next time so you wont have to deal with...this." Monty apologizes.

"It's okay, I actually liked it." Miller admits, giving a shrug. "It was exciting."

Monty snorts, shaking his head as he laughs. "If that's what you want to call it. Bye Nate."

He nods, walking over to the door and Jasper exclaims, "Boo!" at him which causes Miller to nod again. "Yep, boo." Miller agrees.

He closes the door behind him, Monty hits him. "Boo? Really? What did you want to accomplish?"

Jasper hit him back. "I didn't know what to say."

Monty hit him. "Well obviously not that!"

They then began to hit each other until they were both saying, "Ow, stop hitting me, you hit me first, no you did, you did, you did!" and it continued till they both shoved each other, fell and started laughing.

"I just want to show him that we aren't just joking around," Octavia explained to him as they started eating at some restaurant she couldn't pronounce the name of. Something in Italian she thinks. "that we're serious."

Lincoln gave some thought. "We could get promise rings or something?"

"Aw, that's so cute babe. But how about you leave the thinking to me?" Octavia explained like he was a child and after he rolled his eyes, he nodded for her to throw out her own ideas.

"Well the only thing that isn't marriage or a child that I think is serious would be moving in together. But we cant do that." Octavia sighed.

"Why not?"

"Why what?"

"Why cant we move in together?"

"Clarke. I cant just throw her out on the street. Plus, I need help with rent. And Clarke wouldn't be too keen on the idea of you, me and her all living in the same place. Don't get me wrong she likes you but...she'd feel like a third wheel and I'm definitely not doing that to my best friend."

"Octavia," he said, leaning over the table to grab her hand. "I love you."

Octavia smiled. "I love you too."

"Clarke will understand if you two are best friends. I mean, I'm not coming back permanently till five months or so. Plus, cant she live with Bellamy? They both get along well and their dating anyway."

"Clarke may understand but I wouldn't put her in that position to where she needs to. And I cant kick her in my brothers house, they aren't dating anymore and that would bring up some mixed feelings."

Lincoln sighed. "I want to live with you, Octavia. I want to be with you." He cupped her face in his hands, pulling her in for a kiss and she smiled against his lips.

"I do too. But-"

"You want to make your brother happy right?"

"Well...yeah I guess?"

"When was the last time you remembered him really, truly happy?"

Octavia thinks about it, looking around the restaurant for an answer and she remembers it. "When Clarke and him were dating, she would wake up early and she'd brew him some coffee and make all of us funny shaped pancakes. Bellamy always made the dinosaur pancakes better but she was starting to learn how to at least form a smiley face. He was the happiest then."

"I don't know your brother well, but I know love when I see it. He's in love with her. Why not just nudge the idea at Clarke that we'd be moving in together and nudge the idea to Bellamy about how he should live with her and bring that memory to him again."

Octavia grins, grabbing his face and leaning painfully against the table as she kisses him. "That was the smartest idea you ever said."

"Really?" He asks.

"Let's go to the bathroom." She whispers into his ear, giggling as she grabs his hand and goes into the lady's room. She tells the lady who says she's gonna tell the manager about this to fuck off and when she does Lincoln grabs her face and rests his head on her forehead.

"You are the most strongest woman I've ever and will meet."

She laughs and kisses him again.

A/N: So I know it didn't have a lot of bellarke and that's probably what you wanted but I wanted to talk about the other characters too being that F.R.I.E.N.D.S didn't only involve Monica/Chandler or Ross/Rachel. They were all equally important and I think the same even with different characters. Also who doesn't want some minty and linctavia and Blake sibling feels? I know I love that. Sorry if it wasn't as good as the ones I usually do. I just wanted to post something so you were all happy and wouldn't be bored. By the way this all took place when Clarke was with Bellamy so yeah just thought I would mention that. As for when I'll be posting again probably Saturday but I've been busy being that it's my sister and my b-day tomorrow so yeaaaaa. Anyway hope you had a good Mother's Day. Love you all! Have a good day! - Phantom4747
