Octavia claims she can hold the entire world in her hands.

After having an already fantastic day, Octavia makes the claim that she can hold the entire world in her hands.
Vinyl is not convinced.

This is just shameless tooth-rotting OctaScratch fluff.

My World, That Is

Octavia walked through the door of her dormroom with an unmistakeable skip in her step, her happiness threatening to burst and bubble over, infecting everyone she would have the chance of talking to with the cheer she felt that day.

However, she was interested in sharing her overwhelming happiness with only one specific other person, the light of her life, the rhythm to her melody, waiting patiently for her in her dorm, the DJ currently occupying the space on her bed, Vinyl Scratch. Absentmindedly she was bobbing her head to the beat of a melody Octavia could not hear, her cyan headphones covering her ears making her completely unaware of the world around her as she layed on her stomach, her legs swinging back and forth in a slow and steady rhythm, her eyes fixated on her phone that she held in her hands, undoubtedly scrolling through some social media dashboard, occasional half-smiles crossing her face.

"Ooh, Vinyl!~" Octavia called for her, just loud enough for the girl to hear as the cellist locked the door behind her and strut over to the DJ, sitting herself beside her. Smiling, Vinyl removed the headphones, letting them hang loosely around her neck when she finally sat up too. "Guess what I can do!"

Vinyl usually wasn't one for guessing games, avoiding them whenever she could, but she decided she could make a rare exception for the happier than usual student that was facing her with a smug grin plastered on her lovely face. "Well", Vinyl started, rolling her eyes and blushing ever so slightly, "you can do a lot of things. I have a list.". True to her statement, Vinyl tapped a few times on her phone, and soon a fourteen pages long notebook file with the title 'Reasons why I love Octavia Melody' showed up on her screen. "Do you want me to start with 'A'?", she half-joked.

Her girlfriend's antics never failed to bring a smile on Octavia's face, giving her only more reasons to share her joy with her. "I can hold the entire world in my hands!", she exclaimed proudly, leaning further toward the now thoroughly confused Vinyl Scratch.

"That is not on the list, and also physically impossible." Vinyl stated, scratching her head at her girlfriend's claim, not knowing that her bewilderment was greatly enjoyed by the asker. "No one can--" The now flustered DJ interrupted herself when she felt a pair of semi-warm hands cup her face ever so gently, unable to form a response as her brain short-circuited on her. "Oh.", was all she could muster.

"You're all I would ever need to be able to hold." Octavia leaned her forhead against hers, looking into her eyes not even caring that she was too close for her vision to focus properly, her lover's striking eyes she would always be able to make out. "My entire world~"

Vinyl could feel herself metaphorically melting at the carefully constructed words that left the cellist's lips and sent her heart aflutter so effortlessly. "Y- you're my world too." Her voice came out as more of a nervous squeak than anything coherent.

The warm, tingling feeling in Octavia's chest grew more powerful and her smile threatened to split her face in two. "If you do not mind, I'd like to make our worlds collide."

The internal screaming currently occupying Vinyl's head was almost loud enough she feared Octavia could hear it through her skull. "Did you just ask for a kiss with a pun?" She wanted to ask, but the words never left her lips as those were currently occupied by Octavia's own.

The switch from their friendship to romance was one that wasn't all too long ago, even Vinyl could still remember the day all too clearly, not a detail left forgotten, their first kiss lingering in her mind every so often as the most magical thing that had ever happend to her. Used to this type of affection Vinyl was not, she never had been, as it was a kind she had never recieved before they confessed. That is not to say she doesn't like it, in fact she welcomed the intimacy her girlfriend showed her every chance she had. She was simply just a nervous wreck as the butterflies in her stomach multiplied even after having experienced kisses from Octavia multiple times before.

They parted far too soon in their opinion, but tragically oxygen was a thing the human body could not go without for an extended period of time. Octavia layed her head in the crook of her lovers neck, removing the headphones that were only moments ago occupying the safest space on earth for her beforehand and putting them aside on her bedside table. She closed her eyes, breathing her in and holding her close.

Octavia was never not happy when she was Vinyl, to her she could make even the brightest of days even brighter, and the most peaceful of nights even safer just by being near her. The warmth she radiated made Octavia feel calm and protected, as if nothing could harm her, as if time slowed down and nothing except the two of them mattered for the moment.

"I love you." She whispered quietly, words which, right now, were only meant for Vinyl alone to hear as she rested against her. Words that would still ring true even after they were spoken hundred times over.

Vinyl pulled Octavia closer, burying her face in her long black hair and sighing deeply, more than content with the current position they shared. She gave her a gentle squeeze when she replied with a smile of her own on her face. "I love you too, Tavi."

With that they stayed close to each other for an amount of hours not even I know, Octavia listening to the steady heartbeat in her lovers chest, unintentionally matching her breathing with every beat and Vinyl keeping her by her side, gently stroking her back as she played with her tangled mess of what she called hair. Satisfied they continued to lay together as they held the entire world in their arms, neither of them willing to let go of it.
