The Devil's Nest, Wednesday Evening

[okteiviakom]

There was no DJ tonight. But the playlist wasn't the usual Lucifer-approved piano bar-y one, either. Octavia had gone prodding at the sound system a couple of times already, but it kept reverting to the same thing.

So, guess you were listening to Violent Femmes tonight, club goers. Octavia wasn't sure how she felt about it.

(She would be even less sure once the playlist would actually hit Add It Up. But it wasn't there yet.)

"Losing you," Octavia said, her tone a little rougher than before. Well, he'd asked, and she was answering.

Only it wasn't actually about the date thing at all, no.

“You really think not knowing how to ask someone out is going to make me leave you?”

"Of course not."

She had fears that couldn't be contained within a conversation as light as that, sadly.

"I wish I could tell you you can't screw this up," Duke said, shifting to rest his forehead against hers. "But I guess I ruined any chances of you believing that back in Haven."

And how.

Octavia closed her eyes with a shuddering breath.

"There's no promise anyone can make about this."

“How about . . . I promise to try?”

Octavia was dragging her fingertips down his cheek again. Ran her knuckles over his beard.

"That could work."

It was all they could really promise each other.

“Ai swega klin.”

Octavia nodded, though only barely, so she wouldn't jostle their heads pressed together too much.

"En ai swega yu klin."

“Well,” Duke said. “Then I think we have a plan.”
