the silence was never a problem with the pair. never. vod could sit and look at her for hours and not say a single word. but right now, it was deafening. it made them anxious. lying beside her, they turned so slightly to look at her, fingers racing along sheets to find ace’s. “what now?” they asked. “what’re we doing next?” they asked. using ‘we’ heavily. they needed her to really know she had them. for whatever her plans were.
@acedimcggio
she sat up. ‘ listen, i get you and ace feel like this is painfully personal. i appreciate that. ’ she explained. ‘ but here’s the thing, the position should have never just been decided it was ace. the role of leader should never just be who knows the last leader best, shouldn’t have been pixie and it really shouldn’t have been ace. people are dying, vod, people are being framed — and ace does nothing. ace would probably admit that herself if you asked her. ’ she stood. ‘ i’ve big ideas, ways to protect people and save our gang. i love ace, i do, i think she’s a good person but a bad leader. ’ she explained. ‘ in an ideal time and place, she’d have time to learn but we’re in a war and people are dying. we need someone proactive and ready to make moves. not someone soft. we don’t have time. she’s a target and an easy one even as it is from the grudge. ’ velvet explained calmly. ‘ i don’t expect you to like me, i don’t but don’t be blind over what’s going on. be biased because you’re dating but don’t act like me giving the ghoulies the options they deserved two leaders ago is a sin or me trying to hurt ace. i’m doing what’s right. i think even if you set aside your romance…you’ll see that. ’
the normally hot headed dealer kept their opinion for a minute, giving her the time to explain herself. listening to carefully, vod licked their lips, shaking their head somewhat. "a bad leader for having a big heart?" vod mused with a nod. "mm, noted." oh they tried to keep her cool. when she mentioned maybe an obvious bias towards their leader, vod shifted. sure she was right.. but fuck, they knew ace. “put it this way then.. none of us.. have ever been gang leaders.. before.. none of us have prior experience? unless.. you do.. i don’t know anybody.. pixie.. yeah.. but who else? how does one know how to run a gang?” vod asked. “ace is doing the best she can with a bad situation.. excuse us for not going guns blazing.. this isn’t about gangs.. anymore.. it’s not about the jackets or the turf war.. this is about murder.. and the grudge won’t give a fuck who’s in charge.”
Ace relaxed somewhat when she saw that it was just Vod that had approached, but the leader was still on edge as she picked up the coffee cup and took a small sip. “But she’s right Vod,” Ace said as she looked up at them. “I act too gentle, no one’s going to take me seriously like that. I have to act, show I’m not just lip and can do the job I signed up for. If she thinks I’m not cut out for it, others have to be agreeing with her. So I have to step the fuck up.”
Listening to her, Vod sipped her own coffee. So many times they wanted to jump in and tell her how wrong she was to think these things. “See that?” Vod paused, free hand moving from their cup to rest over the left of her chest. “That’s heart.. and you’ve got so much of it.” Vod promised her. “You’re.. kind.. and you’re genuine.. you’re not trigger happy.. you’re patient.” Vod insisted.. maybe.. definitely biased. “If she’s trying to take you down, she’ll be taking me down too.” They insisted. “And if you need anything.. I’m right beside you.” They promised, taking her hand.
she already knew what they wanted to talk about and the old velvet might be defensive but when she took over — she wanted vod and ace supporters to feel heard. ‘ sure, of course. ’ she chimed.
“why?” was all vod asked, shrugging, watching her carefully. “what did she do that made you want to completely turn shit upside down.”

Ace was stressed. This Velvet situation had caused something of a re-wire in her brain, reminded her who she was and the role she was supposed to be holding. Velvet was right. She had gone soft. She needed to pull herself together and get organized. Right now they needed structure more than ever, and she wasn’t providing. She was going through the inventory charts, making sure everything was where it needed to be when she heard a knock on her door. “Come in,” she said, not yet looking up from her papers.
To say Vod was furious was maybe an understatement. Or maybe they were biased. They cared.. a lot about their leader. But she was more than he position. And while they had their softer moments with each other.. Vod knew Ace was more than ready to play tough guy when she needed. Stepping inside, Vod closed the door, moving to the side of Ace’s desk, moving to sit against the other, setting down a cup of coffee for the other. “Look at me..” Vod more so ordered. “You’ve got this. I get she’s family.. but family don’t do shit like that.”
“hey..” vod paused, tone low unlike it’s normally enthusiastic self. “can we talk? for a bit..” they asked, adjusting their jacket as they more or less welcomed themselves into her room.

“Yeah well,” Ace smiled gently. “There’s no one I’d rather be like that with than you.”
“That’s.. really nice of you to say, babe..” Vod insisted, running fingers up through the hair on the back of her head. “Well.. i’m not going anywhere. For anything. You’re stuck with me.”
“Me too,” Ace assured with a little smile. “I’m a gang leader, Vod, I’m not supposed to be all soft and shit,” she teased, nudging them.
“You’re adorable when you’re soft with me..” They taunted her with a grin and a nudge back, lacing their fingers.
Ace laughed as she stood up, taking Vod’s hand in hers and starting the walk back to the house of the dead. “You’re ridiculous, I like you so fucking much,” she beamed over at the other.
Walking with the other, Vod grinned, holding her hand in theirs, keeping as close as they possible could. “I like you too..” They grinned. “And It’s true.. damn.. you still got me all giddy and shit..”
“I guess I could stand to let go of control for one night,” she teased gently. She smiled into the peck to her lips. “Why don’t we head home?”
“Who knows? You might even like it..” Vod teased. “Yeah.. I’d like that.” They hummed. “Look! this beaut’ is taking me home!” Vod called to a group of also drunken ghoulie’s who raised empty glasses. “Come on then.. gorgeous..” They teased, slowly getting up.
“My dear, are you trying to make a bottom out of me?” she teased with a little laugh. “Alright, fine, we can switch it up this time.”
“I just want to make you feel good..” They insisted with a tipsy smile. “Nobody’s gotta know you dig being a bottom.. I won’t kick your ego..” Vod teased with a wink, leaning up to peck her lips.
“Good to know,” she mused with a smile. “We can keep…exploring all that, you know.”
“Oh you’ve explored alright.. it’s my turn..” Vod insisted with a grin, pinching her cheek. “Two way street, baby.. I’m not forgetting about you.”
“Did I live up to the expectations,” she teased with a chuckle. “Would hate to think I was a let-down.”
“Let-down? Girl are you fucking with me right now?” Vod mused. “Shit.. I was some stone top until your sparky ass came along..” They teased her. “You are more than the expectations..” They shyly confessed.
“Yeah, I’m kinda digging this us thing too. We should keep it up,” she teased back, smiling at the kiss to her cheek. “Oh shut up, you can’t act superior when I know you’d been trying to get me in the bedroom.”
“Oh totally.. I mean.. all in good fun..” They teased. Whining somewhat, Vod shifted with a grin to run fingers through the back of her hair. “I mean.. I can admit.. fuck yeah.. I wanted to see what you got going on.” Vod taunted. “And shit.. I seen a lot..” They winked, breaking out in a laugh.
“But you didn’t,” she said, giving their leg a little squeeze. “I’m right here. You’re right here. We’re both perfectly okay and this was a dumb situation but we’ll both get through it.”
Watching her, Vod slowly nodded, Hand resting over hers. “We’re both right here..” They nodded. “I really like.. this us thing..” They muttered, leaning in by her ear. “I knew you wanted me Ace DiMaggio..” They tipsily taunted, kissing her cheek.. when really it’d probably been a whole lot of the other way around.
Ace rested their head on Vod’s shoulder and absentmindedly rubbed their thigh. “Claws away, kitten,” she teased gently. “None of ours are involved, no one’s really hurt. we’ll go back to the house and just have our quiet night.”
Giving a small sigh as she spoke, Vod rested their head head on her shoulder. Even her voice put Vod at ease. “I know.. but..” Vod paused, placing the empty glass aside. “Guess I just.. got a scare y’know..” Vod insisted, that drunk side showing a little more vulnerability instead of cocky attitude. “I’m.. always afraid I’m going to lose you.”
“I’m fine,” she assured her brother with a little smile. “None of ours are involved, so I’ll take that as a win for us,” she nodded. “You good?”
Watching her, Louie gave a quick nod. “Yeah a-all good..” He promised her. “I’m.. I’m gonna bring Jamie back with u-us tonight okay?” He insisted. “I don’t want him on his o-own.. and I’m.. only one person.”
