You’re the woman from another dimension who somehow caught the affections of Sevika, Silco’s righthand woman. Something about you always moving about and being dense to romantic moves from the lower thugs made her feel...something. Something she wasn’t ready to admit existed yet.
Genuinely smiling was something Sevika never imagined she would do again, especially at someone so...innocent, yet savage. You were a trained assassin from a different world that had gotten stuck in the lowlands of Zaun.
What caught Sevika’s attention initially was your awe walking through the underground city. You didn’t become disgusted, not once. The only semi-negative emotion you showed was sadness at the shimmer addicts who seemed too far gone for healing. Aside from that, you were having the time of your life.
The more she spent time with you, the more she was drawn in like a damn magnet. You were constantly moving, being unable to stay still for more than a minute, and it was endearing in a way. Like now, you’re knee was bouncing as you ate dinner with her, Silco, the brat, and your mentor. She knew you weren’t bouncing it due to nerves, but simply because you couldn’t control it.
It didn’t take too long for your mentor to get irritated so, before he said anything, Sevika put a heavy hand on your thigh to still your movement. You huffed, gave her a quick grin, and tried not to think about the warmth you felt creeping through you as you ate.
Later on that particular night, Sevika found you climbing walls for amusement. She didn’t dare show it on the outside, but the chance of you falling worried her since you were pretty far up the building. She waited for you to sit on a balcony before she shouted up, “Y/n, what the hell are you doing?”
“I thought I saw a kitten up here!” Your voice echoed down. Sevika did her best not to laugh, but your ridiculousness had officially reached peak dumbass.
She swore you rolled your eyes. “...I’m not answering that.”
That managed to pull a laugh out of the thick-skinned woman. “Wanna come down here and get a drink with me? Safely?”
You raised a brow with pursed lips. “Safely get a drink with you?”
“Goddammityoufucking...” She took a deep breath and tried glaring at you. “...no. Safely get your ass down here before I make you!”
You chuckled and did as she said, making sure to be agonizingly slow. Once you hopped down, Sevika was on you in an instant, not even trying to be discreet in checking for wounds, something that may or may not have surprised you. This boulder of woman was worried about you? You may have only known her for a short while, but from what you heard she wasn’t one to be soft around anyone, past lovers included.
You managed to grab her calloused hands and squeezed them. “’Vika, I promise you that I am fine. Come on, I want to try some of the drinks I saw the last time we went to the bar.”
The tall woman snorted a bit and quickly returned to her scary self. She may allow herself to soften around you, but she’d be damned if she did it around other people. Gods, the things you were doing to her...
A few hours after arriving at the club proved to be a bad move on Sevika’s part. This was a livelier joint than her regular and she didn’t like it, only due to the fact that you were being hit on repeatedly. She did her best to scare most of the rats off, but some were very persistent. She calmed down soon enough though when you also repeatedly rejected all of them, even the ones she thought you would’ve been swooned by.
Sevika walked up to you and observed your untouched drink next to another. “I thought you came here to drink, deimos.”
You laughed and punched her shoulder. “Am I that much of a terror to you that you decided to sit on the other side of the club, sulking? We came here to drink, asshole, not just me. Here.”
The dark-skinned woman squinted and fought off another smile, as she was in public. Instead, she met your eyes and never looked away as she downed her liquor in one go. You were absolutely captivated. You swore you'd have started drooling if it weren't for the sudden hand being placed on your shoulder. You shrugged it off immediately and twisted toward the offender; an ugly drunk bastard.
You rolled your eyes and groaned. Another one?
"Aw, come on, tough girl! You may look like a lesbian but once you see my-"
The man-pig was interrupted by Sevika, who was absolutely fed up, punching the living shit out of him. He flew back and passed out in a heap. You laughed and wrapped yourself around the taller woman's back, feeling her relax into you.
"Let's go home, Y/n." She murmured as she grabbed your hand and led you out of the bar. The entire walk back to her place was quiet, but it was comfortable and...intimate. The unconscious part of you made you get distracted at the smallest things, like digital billboards with strange sponge dudes and pink starfish dudes in toilet commercials.
Sevika couldn't stop herself from snorting multiple times at your childlike curiosity and amusement. She knew you were so much more dangerous than that, but you didn't let it become your personality. You reminded her of Jinx, but without the added crazy.
Soon enough, you both were in her apartment, drinking and trading stories. The last one had you both breathlessly laughing and giggling. You were still uncontrollably chuckling when Sevika asked you a question.
"How do you have so much calmness and patience when it comes to dealing with scumbags? And still maintain your positivity?"
You grinned and nudged her knee with yours, looking down into your cup as you remembered unfortunate events that led you to Zaun. You felt her intensely studying you as you spoke.
"I was raised in an abusive home growing up and always saw how my parents lacked jurisdiction over their emotions. They constantly beat on each other and us a lot. Me being an older sister, I had to be the one to learn from their mistakes and learn how to tiptoe around them to keep from their rage. Patience was my biggest virtue in dealing with them and my younger siblings, so to say that I'm used to dealing with scumbags is a massive understatement." You didn't realize it, but you started disassociating, something Sevika luckily noticed.
"Hey," Gentle, calloused hands were placed on your cheeks, pulling you to face her. Had she always been that close? "Come back to me, sweetheart."
You sighed and closed your eyes, continuing on with your answer. "I had to stay positive when I was with my siblings to show them that we could prosper and find love. I always had to explain that what our parents had wasn't love at all, but compliance. They were comfortable because of how long they knew each other, but they didn't truly feel anything. Not for us and not for themselves."
You could've sworn that you felt lips touch your cheek. How drunk were you exactly?
"What do you think love is?" Sevika asked, making you slowly open your eyes and meet hers. They were so close you could see fine details in them, all of her emotions, and how they seemed to sparkle. The way she was looking at you alone made you come to your conclusion.
So, instead of answering, you put a hand on the back of her neck and pulled her into your waiting lips. Hers were soft and a little rough as they moved against yours perfectly. You weren't sure how long you both made out, but soon into the initial kiss, one of you had deepened it after you somehow ended up in her lap.
When you pulled away for air, you came to a realization and smirked at her.
"So that's why you knocked him out!"
At first she snorted, but it turned into a breathless laugh as she buried her face in your neck (imagine tires deflating, you're welcome). By the gods, you were fucking denser than she had thought.
After she'd calmed down, she pecked your neck and pulled back to look you in the eyes again, completely serious. You huffed and smoothed over the frown lines in her face, making her soften her expression.
"Will you stay here with me, Y/n?"
Those were the only words you needed to hear. You kissed the bridge of her nose and pressed your forehead to hers, once again meeting her eyes.
"Of course I will, 'Vika. I'm yours."
And that was all she needed to hear.
(A/N: Hello, everyone!! I'm Alexis W and this is not the first fic I've written! I have multiple blogs up for other fandoms, but I decided that creating them is getting tiring, so I'm just gonna post stuff on here 🙂.
I write for Sevika, Vi, Jinx, Mel, Ambessa (Mel's mom), Grayson, and Caitlyn.
Thank you and have a good day!)
