A/N: As some of you may have picked up by now I do theatre work, and tonight I have just finished the opening night of a production of Bouncers for which I was doing tech stuff. The show is closing tomorrow and so the chapter may be a little shorter but I am doing my best even if I am literally falling asleep at my keyboard, so please bare with me :) Loved reading your reviews again this chapter! Please continue to read and review, I love you all xx
Octavia's head was spinning in circles as she danced and laughed around a massive bonfire in the center of the village. A heady atmosphere had settled over the village and there was not a sober person present at the celebration.
"Clarke!" Octavia yelled suddenly, darting over to the blond and gathering her up in her arms, squeezing tightly as Clarke gasped for air and patted Octavia's back in an attempt to get the other girl to release her.
"Octavia, I would very much like to have Clarke back alive." Lexa laughed as she arrived at their sides, pulling Clarke away gently as Octavia grinned happily, falling into Lincoln's waiting arms.
Octavia had no idea how long they had been partying, but members of the Trikru, of her people, had already started to drift away to their beds.
"She did what?!" An angry, drunken Raven was suddenly in front of her, glaring at Octavia with an almost childish pout.
"What did Octavia do Raven?" Lexa asked, who was by far the most clear headed out of the lot of them.
Raven growled and poked Octavia in the chest, "She tried to get Ontari eaten."
"No!" Octavia yelled dramatically, before trailing off as she forgot what she had yelled about.
Ontari flushed red and tried to pull Raven back clumsily, "I'm sorry, she has drank a lot, maybe we should head to bed Raven?"
"See?" Raven exclaimed, "If you had made the gorilla eat her then we couldn't go to bed with each other anymore."
Octavia snickered childishly as Raven glared, "Did you just admit to sex with Ontari?" She laughed as Raven tried to backpedal.
"No! Of course not. I-" She stammered, "I mean we haven't even kissed yet."
Suddenly the conversation broke through Ontari's alcohol induced haze, "Yet?" She asked curiously.
Lincoln spotted an opportunity and picked Octavia off the ground to carry her away before Raven's attention diverted back to her. Reluctantly, Clarke and Lexa also backed off to leave the other two to their discussion.
"Yet?" Ontari asked again as Raven's mouth just kept opening and shutting like a goldfish.
Becoming more and more sober by the minute, Raven eventually just nodded, staring at Ontari hopefully.
Whether is was her own burst of confidence or the alcohol, Ontari quickly stepped in and kissed Raven gently, lingering for a moment before pulling back to look in her eyes searchingly.
Clarke laughed and nodded her head over to where they had left Ontari and Raven, "Thank god for alcohol, I thought they were going to dance around that for the next twenty years."
Lexa grinned and bumped her head against Clarke's shoulder, before curling into her side as they sat under a tree watching the party wind down, "I am glad they are happy." She hummed quietly to herself for a few minutes before twisting so she was on her back with her head on Clarke's lap, "Octavia did very well today, most initiates only bring back a deer or maybe a wolf if they are feeling particularly bold."
"Well you know Octavia." Clarke laughed, "She doesn't do half measures."
"No she does not." Lexa agreed as Clarke started playing with her hair, "Has she chosen her tattoo?"
Clarke nodded, as she gently combed through Lexa's hair with her fingers, slowly undoing the braids in preparation for sleep, "She has but don't even bother asking me what it is. I am sworn to secrecy."
Lexa pouted but sighed as she turned slightly so Clarke could gather up the rest of her hair to finish undoing it all, "Fine."
Grinning Clarke leaned down and kissed her, "Come on Commander, it's time to sleep. Here or your actual house?"
Lexa smiled and then shuffled closer so more of her weight was on Clarke, pinning the sky girl in place.
"Here it is." Clarke laughed.
Octavia and Lincoln soon crashed back into the room they were staying, falling into the bed immediately.
"Everyone was very impressed with you today." Lincoln stated proudly, as he slipped off his shirt before crawling further onto the bed beside her and draping the covers over them both.
Octavia grinned and snuggled closer as he rested his arm across her, with his hand tracing gently up and down her spine. "Yeah?"
Lincoln smiled and kissed her forehead, "No one has ever brought back a Pauna as their offering before, they are very dangerous."
"Were you worried?" Octavia teased.
Lincoln gave her a serious look, "I will always worry about you Octavia. I love you, and all I want in this world is for you to be safe."
Octavia smiled at him, before placing a tender kiss on his lips, "I love you too Lincoln" Smiling happily, she curled up against him, their bodies fitting like puzzle pieces. And then exhaustion took her and she closed her eyes, falling asleep to the strong, steady beat of his heart.
A/N: Sorry again for the reduced word count, but if I didn't stop here than I would fall asleep and end up posting nothing tonight haha. But yeah, one more thing to do in TonDC and then we will be headed back to Polis were Aden and Roan are waiting for Lexa to come back and save them from all the politics haha.
