Night out with Vynil

Vinyl sat on her bed pulling her boot's on with a cigarette in her mouth. Her blue hair was as messy as ever and she had her shades. However she currently wore black denim jeans with no holes and her only clean shirt. Granted it was a white T with a blue flower and the words 'Jokes on you' but for once there was no dirt grime or blood on her clothes.

She might have attempted better dress if she had more than two pairs of cloths but this would have to do. Still her trademark black leather jacket was coming along. Her boots now on she pulled over the jacket onto her shoulders. She checked the pockets. Brass knuckles, Switch blade and revolver all where they should be. She checked to see the gun was loaded. Six shots in place and some more should reloading be necessary.

She pulled out her phone to look at the time. 9:20. putting it away she started for the door. Just before she could reach it there was a knock. Placing her hand in her jacket pocket so she could draw her gun if need be she slowly opened the door. She relaxed upon seeing Hold 'em and Nightingale.

"Damnit what are you two doing here?"

"We couldn't find the money V...but we know who has it." Said Hold 'em.

"Who?"

"The crowns found the thief and beat him to death. I think they have the money now." Sighed Nightingale.

"I think he was trying to work out a deal with them and it went south. But the money wasn't on any of them. We killed the three that were carrying him. None of them had more than ten Quid."

Vinyl ran a hand down her face before kicking a bottle across the room. It crashed into the wall and shattered.

"Ok I'll figure something out just go and take some time off or work just go I don't care I'm busy tonight!"

She started towards the door but stopped in the frame when Hold 'em spoke.

"Ya we heard about that you going on a date with the new girl tonight right?"

Vinyl looked at the floor for a few seconds.

"Hold 'em you should know by now that I'm not the kind of person people fall in love with."

She stepped out through the door before closing it. Nightingale looked at her lover seeing the concern in his eye's.

"Your worried too huh?"

"Ya she needs to stop shutting everyone out."

"She's always been like that though I'm not sure she can change."

"Let's hope this Octavia can help her because I know we can't..."

Octavia stood in front of the mirror brushing her hair to perfection. Her phone was leaned against the bathroom wall so Bon Bon could see her through Skype. She had dressed in a simple short grey dress with her bow tie as usual. An amethyst hair pin holding her hair in a manner so that one of her eye's was partially covered.

"What do you think Bon?"

"The hair over the eye is a good touch. But the bow tie doesn't really go well with it."

"I Always wear a bow tie!"

"Yes but it's counteracting the trick with your hair. It pulls attention away from your face because it's so bright and pink."

Octavia looked at her self in the mirror. She had to concede the point. If she were dressing for a concert it would be fine. But this was not really going to help the look she was going for. She took it off and set it on the side of the bathroom sink.

"What are you wearing for shoe's?"

"I'm trying to find a compromise between bad girl and high society."

"I get it a little bit of you and a little of her...I would go with black dress boots if you have them."

"I've got a pair."

"Good go put them on."

Octavia did so then returned to the bathroom. Bon Bon looked at her as she passed the phone around herself so she could see her outfit.

"Good but one last touch you know the treble clef earrings you have? Wear those."

"Good idea."

She hurriedly put them on and looked back at her friend. Bon Bon gave a thumbs up just before the cab outside honked.

"I got to go Bon! The cabs here!"

"Don't be late on account of me go go!"

Octavia slipped the phone into her purse and ran out the door to the cab. Sliding in she pulled the ticket out of her bag and read the name of the theater off to the driver. He nodded and sped off down the road with the radio playing some song called In the end. As the song went on Octavia found her self being drawn into it more and more. When it finished what it had said stuck in her mind. With every sin I want to stay holy? The line was somewhat confusing.

Then again maybe people who have done bad things still want to be good people. Was that what it was saying? She was pulled out of her thoughts by the cab coming to a stop. She paid the cab driver and stepped out seeing the DJ Leaning against the wall by the entrance. She walked over as the blue haired girl waved.

"Cool you made it."

"Yes I did." She looked around. "Where's your bike?"

"Oh well on the way home from the club last night I kinda hit something sharp and it popped one of my tires. It's in the shop right now getting a tire replaced."

"So you walked?"

"Well ya I only live like four blocks away."

"Ok well shall we?"

"Sure."

Vinyl held open the door for Octavia who accepted the gesture and walked in. They approached the ticket counter together and placed the paper slips on the table. The woman behind the table tore off her halves and handed the remains back. Vinyl led the way towards the concessions hands in her pockets. Octavia came in behind her hoping to get some gum drops. Vinyl pulled out her wallet and drew out some pound notes.

"Hey what do you want Octy-I mean Octavia?"

"Oh...I can get my own thank you though."

"Chill I'm buying tonight ok? Now what do you want?"

Octavia considered protesting but she could tell the DJ would not listen.

"Just a box of gum drops and a small drink please."

"Ya so a box of gum drops for her some Pike n Bike's for me and two drinks."

"Five pounds please." Said the vendor.

Vinyl counted out five pounds in one pound notes then put the last remaining bills into her wallet. The cups and snacks were placed in front of her and she handed Octavia's to her. The DJ led the way to the drink station and began filling her cup with some of everything.

"What are you doing Vinyl?"

"This is called a suicide where I come from. Honestly the name is the most impressive thing about it but they're still good most of the time."

"Where is it that you come from?"

Vinyl turned towards her. Again those damned glasses made gaging her mood impossible.

"Boston originally." Her tone carried a feeling of hurt.

"How did you end up in England?"

"I just did."

"But-"

"Hey look the movie is gonna start we better hurry!"

Vinyl grabbed Octavia's arm and pulled her into the theater. They sat in the back row corner with The DJ wearing her shades even in the dark. The commercials started up as Vinyl began popping multiple candies into her mouth at a time. Octavia could still feel the goose bumps on her arms from when the blue haired girl had grabbed her. What is going on with me? She looked back at Vinyl. The movie had started with a voice over by the protagonist. The woman next to her was too focused on the movie to notice Octavia looking at her.

It was clear to Octavia glasses or no that prying into Vinyl's past had upset her. Swallowing before she spoke she decided to apologize.

"Vinyl?" She whispered.

"Ya?"

"I'm sorry if my question just now upset you I didn't mean to-"

"Octavia it's my fault. I could have just told you it's not something I talk about but I made you feel bad instead so I'm sorry."

"Oh well..."

"Let's just say it didn't happen ok? Then we can just move on."

Octavia nodded but in her head she was kicking herself. This isn't going so well. How did I expect it to go? How did I want it to go? How does she want it to go? Octavia got up quietly catching Vinyl's attention.

"Where you going?"

"I have to wash my hands they're sticky from the gumdrops." A blatant lie she still had them unopened in her purse.

"Ok I'll tell you what you missed when you get back."

"Thank you."

Octavia made her way out of the theater into the lobby. As she B-lined for the bathroom she pulled out her phone and called Bon Bon.

"Octavia what's going on?"

"I don't know what I'm doing Bon I've known this person for two days and I'm in a theater with her and I don't even know what I'm trying to get out of it!"

"Calm down Octavia listen to me ok?"

"Ok."

"When you were getting ready for tonight I could tell you were excited. Not like oh I'm going to a cool movie excited more like I'm going to be around someone I want to impress excited."

"Ok?"

"From the time I've been with Lyra 'thanks for hooking us up by the way' I've learned one thing never changes."

"What?"

"Emotions are as weird and unpredictable as bloody Tartarus."

"I don't understand?"

"Let me put it this way...I don't know what but something about her caught your interest when you first met her. I mean you working a nightclub? No you didn't get the job because you needed it your standards are too high. You took it because she intrigued you. I know it's only been like two days since you met her but sometimes that's all it takes. I'm not saying you're in love with her or something but you definitely like her for some reason."

"That...makes sense. So what do I do?"

"Get back in there and get to know her. Try to be as casual as you can act like you care about what she says which I think you do so that's easy. Don't try to dig to deep into her life it might bother her just ask simple questions."

"Like what?"

"What's her favorite food? Why does she like her bike? What the bloody Tartarus is her favorite color?"

"Ok...I can do that."

"Look right now your too nervous to make any big decisions so don't try anything tonight. Don't flirt just talk. When the time is right you will be ready ok?"

"Got it I got to go see you later!"

"Go go go!"

Vinyl smiled at Octavia as she sat back down next to her. It had occurred to her on the way back that if Vinyl heard her open the gum drops when she returned she would get caught in a lie. Therefor she had opened them outside and eaten a few to give credit to the bending of words. Vinyl quickly explained that she hadn't missed much more than a gun fight and someone getting as she put it Offed. Once she finished explaining the DJ returned to watching the movie. Octavia kept looking for a way to start a conversation.

"Hey Vinyl?"

"Ya?"

"Remember how I told you not to call me Octy?"

"Ya I slipped up in the theater concessions sorry."

"No it's ok I was going to say since we're friends as you put it yesterday I'm fine with you calling me that."

Vinyl smiled and very lightly punched her shoulder.

"That's awesome Octy!"

Octavia was still growing accustomed to Vinyl's sense of humor but she could tell that the punch had been endearing based on the fact she had gotten hugs from her mother that were more painful. She smiled back at the DJ who offered her some of her candy.

"Here try some of these they're actually a lot like gum drops if they were filled with tropical fruits."

Octavia grabbed one of the pill shaped candies and popped it into her mouth. After the first few chews she could taste a very sweet lemon flavor before she swallowed. She turned back to Vinyl and nodded. The DJ was about to say something but her phone buzzed and she pulled it from her pocket. She read the message before putting her phone away and looking back at the movie.

"Was that important Vinyl?"

"No it's fine just one of the team needed to know where the whiskey was kept."

"Shouldn't they know?"

"Well our main staff sometimes have to leave on short notice. Me included it's part of the job. So we have replacement people on standby. If we need to leave we call them they come over and get paid double. The problem was it's an erratic schedule so one of our guys quit. The new guy doesn't know the ropes yet."

"Oh."

As the film continued Octavia became more comfortable as did Vinyl. Throughout the movie she found out quite a bit about her. She mainly liked rock and dubstep, Her favorite color was blue and her favorite flower was poison Joke. In fact it so happened she had fed a sandwich with poison joke in it to one of her teachers. Apparently he had gotten mad at Vinyl for swearing in class and when he ate his lunch he couldn't say anything other than profanity for several days.

"My favorite one that he said was 'Fuck Celestia to Tartarus for the creation of that dildo colored weed!'"

"He said that?"

"It's my favorite one because he said it in front of the principle. Guess who was given his two weeks notice?"

"Your prank got him fired?"

"First off I was ten. Second he treated all the class like crap. Half of us wanted to cry at the end of the day the other half wanted a gun for Hearths Warming eve."

"He was that bad?"

"Ya he was."

"So you getting him fired makes you a hero then?"

Vinyl pushed open the doors that led into the street unseen to Octavia she grabbed a scrap of paper from a passer bye's hand. She went from smiling to a slight frown. It was only there a second though she quickly brushed it off and followed Octavia down the walk.

"Nah the worlds full of hero's there's no room for a prankster like me."

"Your a lot more modest in person then on stage Vinyl why is that?"

"When your on stage you have to act confident or the crowd will walk all over you. I spend enough of my life being a hard ass that when I have time off I prefer to take it easy."

Octavia was about to ask another question when her stomach protested. She hoped that Vinyl didn't here the unladylike sound but the grin on her face told her that she had.

"Someone's hungry huh?"

"Excuse me."

"Octy I don't have table manners the fact I even know to open doors for people amazes me. Come let's get something to eat."

"It's twenty past midnight where is going to be open?"

"Trust me I know a great place not far from here. Open all hours and by the way I'm buying."

"Vinyl stop paying for everything please."

"Why most people like getting free food?"

"I don't want to impose on you and you have already paid for the theater expenses."

"Octy your not imposing on me it's my thanks for putting up with me."

The DJ started off before Octavia could reply forcing her to follow. She could feel a warm presence in her chest whenever she  was talking with Vinyl. She was trying hard not to blush around her and give away her motives. She didn't even know if Vinyl would reciprocate the feelings. At this point though she found herself admitting she hoped she did. She sped up so that she was walking beside the DJ as they continued down the sidewalk.

"So where is it we're going?"

"Surprises are more fun than facts."

"Vinyl that was unbelievably-"

"Here we are."

Octavia looked in front of her and saw a fish and chips vendor on the street corner. The sign read ' Hook and Lines chip shop.' She turned towards her companion seeing her ordering two servings and handing over the pounds. Two orders of fish and chips were handed to her wrapped up in newspaper and the DJ handed one to Octavia smiling.

"Vinyl I'm not sure that..."

"Just try it ok? Trust me they're fucking delicious."

"Ok...but is all the swearing necessary?"

"Fuck yes!"

"Vinyl."

The DJ Laughed as Octavia took a bite of one of the chips and found it quite appetizing. After a bite of the fish she found it equally so. As she continued to eat Vinyl smiled digging into her own. After finding a bench to sit on they finished eating in silence. Vinyl collected their papers and took them over to the garbage. Octavia looked at one of the clocks on the building it was past 1 AM.

"I suppose I should go back to my flat Vinyl."

"Ya me too." Nodded the DJ.

"I'll call a cab and see you at work tomorrow ok?"

"Ya cool."

Octavia reached into her bag for her wallet and phone. The latter was quickly produced but no matter how much she dug her wallet was not there.

"Oh no...Think where did you last have your wallet Octavia? You were at the movies you called Bon Bon...oh no I left it in the bathroom when I was putting away my phone!"

She looked down the street Vinyl was still in sight walking down the road. Octavia ran as fast as she could calling out after her. Vinyl turned around seeing Octavia running. When she was close enough she grabbed her shoulders as she caught her breath.

"Octy what's wrong?"

"My wallet I left it in the theater!"

"Shit what time is it?"

"Almost 1:30."

"Damn we can't make it back there in time to get it the doors are closing now."

Vinyl pulled out her pocket book and saw she only had two pounds and some change.

"I'm sorry Octavia I don't have enough to pay your way even as far back as the club."

"I guess I could call Lyra and Bon Bon. Maybe they could give me a ride though they're probably sleeping now."

Vinyl scratched the back of her head for a minute. The idea seemed very awkward and she doubted it would be well received. Still she felt obligated to offer the option.

"Hey Octavia if you need a place to crash I can sleep on the floor and you can use my bed if you want?"

"Wait you want me to stay at your place?"

"Only if your cool with it I mean! Like I just thought I should offer since we're only a few blocks from there is all!"

Octavia had to think it over for a bit. Vinyl's place was a mess but she didn't really have options. Also the offer was sweet in a way.

"You sure it's ok Vinyl?"

"Ya it's fine and I'm sorry about the huge mess. I'll clean up some if that would help?"

Vinyl opened the door to her flat and walked over to the bed attempting to make it. Octavia looked around the room with a concerned eye. Vinyl was a giver she had made this much clear. But she was giving everything she had. At a certain point a person has to take care of themselves. The way she lived it was like she didn't care about herself at all.

The DJ had made the bed and was now collecting bottles and debris and tossing them in a corner. It was at this point that Octavia noticed the cloths she had seen her wearing the other days on the floor. Now for the first time realizing there was no dresser or drawers she realized Vinyl only had two pairs of clothes.

"Hey Octy is this ok?"

Octavia was pulled from her thoughts when she saw Vinyl's attempts at cleaning. It was better but that did little to change the fact that the apartment was in terrible shape. The DJ walked over to one of the walls and pulled her coat around herself. Octavia looked at her confused.

"Vinyl where's your blanket and pillow?"

"I got my Jacket."

"your going to curl up in a corner with a leather jacket to sleep in?"

"Your the guest so you get the bed."

Octavia's mouth hung open for a moment before she shut it.

"Vinyl get in this bed with me right now."

"It's not a big deal I-"

"You are not going to get sick because I'm a bed hog now climb in. Have some blanket and sleep!"

Vinyl carefully took off her Jacket so as not to show the weapons inside and placed it on the chair. Kicking off her boots she climbed into the bed next to Octavia. This was not one of the things that Vinyl had thought of occurring when she offered Octy a place to crash. She closed her eye's and moved so she was a respectful distance from the Cellist as to not make her uncomfortable.

"Goodnight Octavia."

Octavia swallowed nervously. She was extremely flushed in the face and her heart was beating out of her chest. Without thinking she wrapped her arms around the DJ Next to her and pulled her in. Vinyl opened her eyes surprised by the embrace. She coughed slightly not sure what else to do. Finally she spoke.

"Octy...your hugging me."

"I know." Stammered the Cellist.

Vinyl rolled over in bed so she was facing Octavia. Her purple eyes contrasted with her flushed cheeks incredibly well. Then she saw a hand reaching towards her glasses and she shut her eyes as they were removed. She hated people seeing them the only time she took her glasses off was to terrify people who pissed her off. What if Octavia runs?

"Vinyl please open your eyes."

"Octavia I don't-"

"Please Vinyl?"

As she had asked the eyes opened and Octavia found herself staring into pools of deep red. She wanted to compare them to rubies but it seemed so cliché. Still there wasn't really any other word to use. She couldn't take her eye's off of them and eventually Vinyl closed them and started to crawl out of the bed. Octavia grabbed her and she turned.

"I'm sorry if my starring bothered you!"

"Everyone who sees them stairs. Then they run or call me a daemon. My friends are the only ones who look the other way."

"Vinyl..."

She pulled her back onto the bed so that she was laying next to her again.

"Your eye's are one of you best qualities."

There was a long pause. Vinyl was surprised that someone actually complimented her eye's. The voice that had been telling her to keep Octavia away from her heart was almost mute now. It had only been three days now that they had known each other. In hindsight she had been doing a terrible job of not getting attached. She was so perfect to her. She was adventurous in her own way. She was kind and gentle as well. There wasn't any part of her that made Vinyl not want to be in her presence.

Vinyl cupped Octavia's face in her hands and brought her lips to hers. Her intention for a brief kiss was destroyed when Octavia grabbed her tightly and slid her tongue into Vinyl's. The DJ gave a brief moan as Octavia slid around in her mouth. She moved her hands down the Cellist back till they reached the small of it. Then she pulled away from her mouth and began planting kisses on the base of her neck.

Octavia slid her hands under Vinyl's shirt and around her back but before she could achieve her goal she was flipped onto her back with the DJ laughing playfully on top of her. They paused a moment as they looked at each others eyes. Vinyl smiled as she came down and kissed Octavia sending her Tongue in. It met with Octavia's and the DJ began to tug on it lightly by sucking in breath. Octy sharply took in air from this and grappled the woman on top of her pulling her in.

Vinyl moved to her ear nibbling little bits on it as well as teasing it with her tongue. Noticing the earings she lightly tugged on them too. After a moment of this she leaned in and whispered to her.

"Your beautiful Octy."

The woman beneath her turned her head to kiss Vinyl's cheek. Once done she returned the whisper.

"You are too Vinyl. But what do you want to do now?"

The last bit was said as soon as Octavia's hand made contact with Vinyl's underwear. The DJ closed her eye's as Octavia slid her hands up and down that which proved a hindrance. Vinyl began pulling the dress off of Octavia shoulders as fast as she could without damaging it. As she did so Octy undid the DJ's belt and unzipped her jeans sliding them down. Vinyl succeeded in removing the dress and was fiddling with the bra of her new lover who in the mean time was pulling off Vinyl's shirt.

The Bra removed Vinyl drew circles around Octavia's nipples with her tongue. After teasing each one twice she pinched one with her fingers and the other with her teeth. Octavia breathed heavily as The DJ brought her hands slowly down the curves of her sides. They stopped when her finger slid inside her panties and pulled them free off her legs. Vinyl moved two fingers over her slit slowly making Octavia take deep halting breaths. Pleased with the results the DJ began sucking on the base of the Cellists neck as her fingers worked faster.

"Vinyl-stop teasing-me please!"

Her wish was granted as the fingers stopped working outside and plunged in moving at a steady pace. The black haired woman brought a hand to her mouth to cover the loud moans coming from it as she got closer to climax. Vinyl could feel it building up and increased speed. Octy's moans were to loud for her hand to muffle now.

"Vinyl!" She yelled loudly still trying and failing to cover her mouth.

Octavia came on Vinyl's hand as she reached her peak. She slammed the back of her head into the pillow behind it breathing heavily with sweat coming down her brow. When she opened her eye's she saw a satisfied DJ standing over her. She leaned up and kissed her pulling her onto the bed. She lifted the bra up and cupped both of Vinyl breasts making sure to give each one attention. as she lightly squeezed each one in turn she brought kisses down her lovers body lower and lower. When she reached her goal she slid the panties away and kissed her just above her sex.

"Are you ready?"

The DJ nodded as Octavia slowly licked Vinyl's wet cunt. As more fluid leaked out onto the sheets Octavia knew she was doing good. She had only ever read on the internet in preparation for this moment. Now she knew she wasn't a failure. She started licking harder grabbing onto it and sucking from time to time. Each time she did that she received a satisfying gasp from Vinyl. Now she was beginning to feel confident.

Licking the top part of Vinyl's sex she stuck two fingers in as well moving them with as much speed as she could. The DJ Started shuddering as she got close and once Octavia hit her G spot she cried out as juices dripped out of her into Octavia's mouth. Swallowing she crawled to lie down next to Vinyl. She was breathing heavily from the strong release as Octavia snuggled in next to her.

The DJ covered them both in blanket then pulled Octavia into her arms. The Cellist nestled her head into the crook of her lovers neck and gave a contented sigh. Vinyl's smiled down at her and kissed the top of her head. Together they fell asleep in each others arms.
