I realized I heavily skimped on this introduction so I'm adding some more stuff here (including what I will/won't write, what fandoms I write for and characters, etc)
NSFW and SFW requests are welcome! (if a character is underage, SFW ONLY duhhhh).
Will write both X reader and character ships! if requesting X reader, make sure to specify if you'd like GN, Fem, or Male reader! If not I'll just assume GN. I am open to character requests that may not be on this list, but I can't always promise I will write for them!

VI:
Vi thinks it's the absolutely coolest thing ever when she finds out you play an instrument, and you best believe she immediately wants you to teach her how to play.
Asks you to play for her any chance you get. Just got home? She wants you to play something for her. Taking a break from washing dishes? She has a new song she wants you to learn. Finished eating a meal? She's handing your instrument to you with the most excited look in her eyes.
You attempt to teach her how to play, per her request, however she seems much more interested in staring at your lips while you explain, nodding along and giving breathy âmhmsâ in response every once in a while until you finally notice her lack of attention to the instructions.
âVi, you're not even listening to what I'm telling you to do.â you whine, annoyed at the playful smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth. She chuckles, leaning in to peck you on the lips a few times. âI'm sorry, baby. You just look so sexy when you talk music.â
You playfully smack her arm, but the blush creeping up your cheeks is a dead giveaway to how you really feel. Needless to say, the instrument was quickly forgotten, laying on the floor along with your clothing.Â
_______
JINX:
Jinx catches you playing one day and immediately began pestering you about it. âHow come you never told me, sugar? We could have been rich with skills like that!â
Loves it when you play while she's tinkering away; makes her feel like time spent together is more connected, even if neither of you has spoken in the past hour or two
Will come up with silly lyrics to go along with your playing, often freestyling things for fun (many sevika diss tracks have been written at this point)
Even attempts you to play one of these diss tracks with her live at the last drop, however, you refuse out of fear of sevika, obviously.Â
âCome onnnn, itâll be so funny!â Jinx begs. She's been at it for hours at this point, refusing to let up. âShe's not gonna hurt you..â She pauses, noticing your raised eyebrow. âOkay, she might hurt you, but the reaction will be so worth it!â You roll your eyes, leaning down to give her a small kiss on her cheek. âIf you wrote some lyrics that weren't puns about Sevika's lack of limb, I'd consider it. Until then, I value my life.â
_______
CAITLYN:
Caitlyn doesn't have a huge reaction when she finds out, however she does begin asking thoughtful questions about your hobby, like how you learned, how long you've been playing, what inspires you.
She's never cared for music in that way before, but she cares for you, and she cares about the things you love, so she listens intently every time you ramble on about your craft, soaking in every word and staring at you like youâre explaining how you crafted the stars and the moon by hand.
Loves listening to you play after a long day, often curling up on the couch with a glass of wine and quietly watching you, only speaking every now and then to tell you how pretty a certain melody sounded, or praising your skill progression.Â
âYou look divine when you're so focused like this.â
You glance up from your instrument, peeking at your lover on the couch. She's curled into the corner, her head resting on her fist as she stares at you peacefully. These quiet nights with her are what keep you sane, and her look of adoration melts you on the spot. âThank you, darling.â
She gives a small smile to this before nodding at the instrument in your hand. âPlay me another. Something new, perhaps?âÂ
just a little something small to soft launch the fact that im writing again lol. i had to disappear bc life lowkey fucked me up but im slowly starting to get back, and i wanted to write again, and hopefully will continue writing more often again. anyways enjoy this! only three characters as it is 5 am and i work a morning shift but i thought this idea was so cute i wanted to write something for it quickly.

old money!caitlyn x broke college student!reader
"penny for your thoughts, I know what you want" - special affair, the internet
â MATERIAL
Caitlynâs generosity was never flamboyant- she spent the way she spoke: softly, but with purpose. A black AmEx slipped across polished counters, her gaze steady on you while the clerk bagged things you couldnât pronounce. She had the kind of grace money couldn't buy and the subtly kind of luxury that couldn't be taught
She never handed you cash, not directly. Instead- there was always something waiting; a tuition payment mysteriously processed, your electricity bill auto paid, a gift card tucked inside an envelope labeled âfor necessities.â
You kept every receipt she signed, folded them carefully into the pages of your journal, proof of the life she allowed you to touch.
â PHYSICAL
Caitlyn never initiated touch. Not out of coldness, but respect. She moved around you the way one might navigate an art gallery, hands tucked behind her back, careful not to brush against what she valued.
Her distance became its own kind of intimacy. The way she poured your tea, the way she adjusted your chair before a meal, the way she lingered at the doorway. always near, yet never presumptuous.
When she did touch you- to brush a strand of hair from your face, to guide you through a crowded room- it was so brief and careful.
She preferred taking photographs of you. Old fashioned ones with her familyâs vintage canon. The kind that hissed softly when she wound the film.
âYou move too beautifully to be trusted to memory,â she once murmured.
When you looked at those photographs later, you noticed that in all of them, you were laughing, or looking away. never quite aware of her watching. That was the only way she allowed herself to have you.
â DOMESTIC
Her country house was quiet in the kind of way that made you whisper even when you were alone.
You lived out of a small duffel bag she pretended not to notice. Each visit sheâd replace one or two of your things; a better toothbrush, silk pajamas, a new book she thought youâd lik
The first time you cooked for her, you burned the garlic. She didnât comment, just poured you more wine and ordered takeout from a Michelin star restaurant.
The gentleness of her affection unnerved you. the way sheâd quietly fold your scarf, refill your glass, press her card into your hand before exams with a simple âDonât worry about it.â
You learned quickly that Caitlynâs rituals were sacred. There was something almost liturgical about the way she cleaned her gun. Every motion practiced, and deliberate.
She did it at her desk. Usually after dinner in a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her hair always came slightly loose, one strand falling against her cheek as she worked.
â EMOTIONAL
Caitlyn never raised her voice. Her anger came crisp, inevitable, and followed by quiet acts of reparation.
You learned quickly that she apologized in gifts. A diamond clasp instead of a conversation. A new bag where an argument shouldâve gone.
She had the kind of loneliness that looked expensive; curated, clean, contained.

You were really hoping to have a chill day at work. Was your current predicament your own doing? Yes. Were you still going to complain about it anyway? Also yes.
But while you were almost one hundred percent sure that you wouldn't have to run around putting out fires,--you prided yourself in fixing up how efficient the port was being run--an unexpected landing from a rogue airship ruins the peace and quiet you were hoping to have.
You would've been pissed. On any other gods-given day, you would be incredibly pissed. But unfortunately for you, the pilot of the ship has you wrapped around her finger the second you lay eyes on her.
"BREAK. BREAK. PAPA MIKE THIS IS TRAFFIC CONTROL. DO YOU COPY?"
You groan, rubbing your temple as you reluctantly reach for your radio. You were praying for a slow day, your hangover from the previous night still glaringly in full swing, but alas, today just had to be the day an army of ships were going through the bay. You curse the ray of sunlight that hits you square in the face when you sit up in your chair, letting out a huff before pushing the call button.
"Ten-four. Traffic control this is Papa Mike. What's the situation? Over." The radio beeps as you let go of the call button, before it crackles back to life.
"PAPA MIKE WE HAVE AN UNAUTHORIZED AIRSHIP ON DOCK EIGHT. OVER." You pick up a copy of the manifest, eyeing schedules for the aforementioned dock. A red ink pen was used to overwrite Available on the manifest to Maintenance. Sighing, you stand up and head closer to the window to get a view of the dock. The radio beeps again.
"PAPA MIKE. STATUS?" You reach for the radio on the table, its coiled cable stretching out as you yank it with you towards the window. Yup, there's an airship there alright. Looks like it came from Piltover based on the design.
"Copy that Traffic Control. Affirmative on the unauthorized airship. Dock eight's supposed to be under maintenance. Over."
"COPY THAT, PAPA MIKE. WE'RE GONNA NEED YOU TO GO UP THERE AND CHECK THE SHIP. NEGATIVE RESPONSE ON SHIP'S RADIO. OVER."
"Huh?" You mutter to yourself, before pressing the call button again.
"Traffic Control why do I need to go up there? Over."
"PAPA MIKE WE HAVE NO AVAILABLE HANDS. THERE'S TOO MANY SHIPS COMING IN TO THE PORT TO CHECK ROGUE AIRSHIPS. OVER." Great, just great.
There had been a recent influx of visitors coming from all over. It had started with whispers of a war between Piltover and a Noxian fleet, and people were scrambling to get as far away from the city as possible. Something about Hex Gates being fought over, which was expected at some point, really. How could anyone just watch as Piltover create the scientific equivalent of teleportation, and not want a piece of that pie? You had your money on Piltover eventually falling, since there was no way a merchant city would have a chance again a Noxian army. Imagine your surprise when they did manage to win.
Then there were travelers headed towards Piltover. With the sudden decline in population, especially for workers, the city-state welcomed people with the promise of work and opportunity. You heard from somewhere that they were willing to give stipends depending on the work you'd be able to contribute. You were briefly tempted yourself, until you realized that Noxus might retaliate and cause more trouble.
Though regular ships were expected to show up at your docks, the influx of airships were a surprise. But you figured that Piltover airships were riding the coast instead of staying on land so they could avoid having to travel on Noxus territory entirely. From where you were standing, several stories high, you could see a long line of passenger and private vessels lining up to dock; looking a bit to your side, airships were also moored, rendering the port to near full capacity. Routine maintenance became frequent, just to make sure none of the sea and air docks would suddenly have stability issues.
All of the airships were lined up in a neat pile on their moors, except for that one rogue airship on dock eight. You frown as you shoot a glare its way.
On one hand, you could do your job, go up there and check out which Piltie decided to moor their airship there; this definitely wasn't the first time this has happened. On the other, just leave the ship be and ignore traffic control. You much prefer the second option, really. But that would get you fired, and you're not really looking forward to being fired. So you let out another groan as you lightly bang your forehead on the window. Of all the days I'd have to walk outside in the bright ass sun. You think yourself as you hit the call button.
"Ten-four traffic control. Wilco. Over and out." You toss the manifest onto your desk and hook the radio back up as you hear Traffic Control acknowledge you. You put on your sunglasses and put on your work jacket and cap, then down a cup of coffee before heading out the door.
------------------------------------
"Take the job at the port, they said. They'll just make you haul stuff, they said."
Your face scrunches up in disdain as you walk along the air docks. The sun was especially bright today, and on any other day, you'd actually enjoy it. But today, with your head throbbing, and your stomach reminding you of your poor choices the previous night, you absolutely loathed that incessant ball of fire.
Dock eight was near the end of the platform, which meant a longer walk. The wind decided it was a good time to pick up and was whipping against your face; you hold on to your hat to stop it from flying off. You made a silent promise to punch whoever was the captain of the rogue ship. As you round the corner--a sign with the number eight painted on it and Under Maintenance right underneath it--you spot a cloaked figure trying to tie down the sides of their ship onto the platform.
"Hey, pal. You're not allowed to dock here." You pick up the pace--not by much due to your queasy stomach--as you approach the ship and grab one of the lines and tying it down. The ship's pilot--whose shoulders seemingly sag in relief once you're able to secure the vessel--is still turned away from you, trying to secure another line. You raise your voice to try and beat the loud whipping of the wind.
"Hey, did you hear me?!" The figure stands up straight and turns to you, her hood being blown off.
You see the most beautiful eyes you've ever seen in your life.
"What?!" She shouts back.
You try to say something, but end up stammering and unable to get any words out. Thankfully, the wind calms down, and you're able to think in relative peace even though your mind was still fogged by your hangover.
"Uhm, you can't dock here. This one's under maintenance." You point towards the sign behind you. She cranes her neck a bit to get a look behind you, her blue hair flowing effortlessly off her shoulder. She clocks the sign, then turns her eye back to you.
"Sorry, who are you?" She asks, an annoyed look crossing her face.
You're not usually snippy, but you're hungover, and this girl
had the audacity to ask who you were when she's the one illegally docking her ship on your port.
"Oh, silly me!" Feigning surprise, you have one hand on your chest, one taking off your hat in an exaggerated and flowy motion. "How incredibly rude of me--" your talk in a higher pitch than you usually do, committing to the bit you're pulling. "It looks like this says--" Your face drops, and you mirror the annoyed look this beautiful, audacious girl is sending you. "--Port Master." The tone of your voice is icier than you would have wanted it to be, and she winces at you. Wow, now you feel like a jerk.
"Look, I'm sorry." She puts her hands up, as show of peace. "I had to do an emergency landing. There's been something wrong with the engine--"
"You could've answered the radio transmission."
"Yeah, no. That's busted."
"How convenient." She takes a very deep breath at your deadpan responses. Even closing her eyes before exhaling--Holy shit she's gorgeous--and maintains her calm demeanor as she tries to explain herself.
"I'm really sorry. But I wouldn't just randomly dock if it wasn't an actual emergency." She points towards the engine at the back, and sure enough, a small plume of white smoke is emitting out of one of the propellers. Your brows furrow as you try to take a closer look at the engine. The smell of something burnt fills your nostrils, and the pain from the headache you're been trying to ignore increases.
"Go moor the ship and turn off the engine." You nod towards the mooring mast as you rub your temple. She shoots a curious look your way.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just moor the ship." You wave her off as you head to the radio box, opening the panel with a click, and flipping the switch to turn it on. The previously hollowed light turns green, and a low hum signals that it's functioning. You grab the microphone and push a button.
"Traffic Control, this is Papa Mike on dock eight. Do you copy? Over." The radio starts to cackle before a response. "TEN-FOUR PAPA MIKE. ANY NEWS ON THE STRAY DOCKING? OVER."
"Qualified emergency landing. We got engine trouble. Ten-seventy-eight, tug ship for hangar transport. Over."
"COPY THAT PAPA MIKE. TEN-TWENTY-THREE ETA FIFTEEN MINUTES. OVER."
"Ten-four. Over and out." You put down the microphone and let out a sigh.
"What'd they say?" You jump from the sudden voice coming from behind you, and you hit your hand on the panel door. You yelp as you try to shake out the pain from your hand.
"Fucking hell, when did you get there." She crosses her arms and shrugs.
"Literally while you were talking to your traffic control." You nod as you double over, the pain in your hand teaming up with your headache for an optimal terrible time. You don't notice her approach and lightly put her hand on your shoulder. "Hey, totally none of my business, are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah," You say quickly, straightening up and holding onto your still aching hand. "Just, super hungover." You wince as a few clouds part and the sun hits your face. "Fuck, anyway. We'll send a tug ship down to get you into the hangar. We can do an engine check there."
There's a surprised, confused look on her face. "I can't kick you out with a busted engine." You offer before she can ask. She still looks a bit confused and uneasy by the offer, but nevertheless mutters a Thanks before turning around and walking to her ship, you tentatively follow from behind. "You should get your valuables and some clothes. We can let you into the hangar to fix the engine, but you can't sleep there. There's a good selection of places to stay down at the town, in the meantime." You stay behind as she disappears into her ship.
She pops back out a few minutes later, having doffed her coat. Your eyes immediately catch the tattoos peeking out from her sleeve. She raises an eyebrow at you, a smirk playing on her lips, before tossing you a vial.
"What's this?" You ask, popping the cork, and mistakenly taking a whiff of its contents. You cough from the smell.
"Hangover cure." She says as she walks past you, checking over her lines on the cleats of the dock. You debate whether or not you should drink something this total stranger just handed you. Unfortunately, pretty privilege is a thing that exists, and you're only human. So you down the contents of the vial, and you stop yourself from gagging from the oily feel of the liquid.
"Woah, hey! You're supposed to rub it on your forehead!"
"I was supposed to what?" She grabs the vial from your and checks how much is left, before looking at your horrified expression. She looks at you with concern, then back at the vial, then back at you, before snorting.
"I'm sorry, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. You're supposed to drink it."Â She tips the vial over and spills what's left of it into her mouth. You try not to pay too much attention to her sharp jaw or the way the muscles on her neck move when she swallows. "See. It tastes like ass, but it works."
"What's even in it?" You ask as you hand her the cork. She shrugs.
"You're better off not knowing."
"Great."
You're about to ask her how she ended up in your port, but the tug ship comes into view, and the radio box starts to ring. You excuse yourself to walk back to answer.
"DOCK EIGHT THIS IS TANGO-SIERRA-ONE RECEIVED TEN-TWENTY-THREE REQUEST. CONFIRMATION FOR ASSISTANCE? OVER."
"Tango-Sierra-One this is dock eight. Ten-four on the assist. We need to get this ship to the hangar for an engine check. Over."
"COPY THAT. CLEAR IMMEDIATE AREA FOR LINE DEPLOYMENT. OVER." The tug ship starts to hover above the Piltover ship. It's much larger propellers kicking up a wind and dust.
"Hey! Get over here. They're gonna deploy lines." You beckon the girl over, and push the call button on the radio. "All clear!"
You hear a ten-four come from the ship, as lines come down from its side, lowering down to the side of the smaller ship.
"LINES DEPLOYED. TANGO-SIERRA-ONE TEN-TWENTY-THREE FOR ATTACHMENT. OVER."
"Ten-four. Over." The blue haired girl is on her tip toes trying to look over your shoulders.
"That means they're standing by while we attach the lines, right?" She asks. You mutter an affirmative before the both of you move to attach lines to the sides of the ship. You start untying the lines on the cleats, and instruct her to unmoor.
"I'll have to hitch a ride with you to the hangar." You say as you wrap her ship lines and put them away.
"Aye aye, Port Master." She gives you a mock salute as she heads to the mooring mast, and you head over to the radio box.
"Tango-Sierra-One radio on ship is ten-seven. Lift off at T-minus five minutes. Over and out." You wait for the tug ship's confirmation before switching off the radio and closing the panel, signaling for your companion to board the ship. "We got five minutes before they start lifting the ship." She nods and gestures for you to head inside.
---------------------------------------------
"Right," You start, taking off your hat and jacket. "The hangar we don't usually rent out, but in cases of emergencies like this, you can use it but you still have to pay the port fees. It's usually double, but I'll waive it since that hangover cure is actually working."
"Covered dock where I can repair my ship and I pay the same fee as the schmucks outside? Sounds like a steal to me." She says as she takes your things and sets them down a chair. "You give discounts to all the girls with engine trouble?" The desk on the side of the ship creaks as she leans on it. She's got a mischievous glint in her eye, and with your hangover gone, you're more willing to bite.
"Only the one's that give me their name." You say as you walk over. You're momentarily distracted when you see a map on the wall, a chartered course written over it. She looks behind her to see what's suddenly got your attention. You tap the part where Piltover and Zaun are located. "You're a long way from home."
"Who says I'm from Piltover?" She crosses her arms, giving you a challenging look. Those goddamn eyes.
"Your ship screams Piltover."
"Really?"
"It's obvious you made a few modifications, but yeah, it's pretty obvious." You chuckle as you point at the interior of the ship, clearly made for aesthetic more than utility. "Even the inside." She lets out a huff, and starts a rant about changing the interior when she gets the chance.
The ship suddenly lurches, and you're both thrown off balance as the tug ship begins its ascent. You recover first, steadying yourself on the desk then grabbing her by the waist and pulling her over to the desk as well. One of her hands grabs onto your shoulder when you reach for her, and the other onto the desk so she can steady herself. When the ship rocks to the side, she ends up pulling you along with her, and you end up unintentionally pinning her to the desk. Your faces suddenly a few inches apart. Mercifully--or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it--the tug ship is able to do a successful ascent, and the ship stops moving. You lock eyes, and you see panic, then surprise, then amusement come across her face.
"Definitely don't get this from other ports." Her eyes flit to your lips for a moment before they meet your eyes again. You proactively take a step back, trying to salvage some ounce of professionalism. Playful banter was one thing, pinning someone to their desk was something else entirely.
"Sorry," You manage. "I definitely don't do⊠that with other pilots here, trust me." You dust yourself off and start picking up stuff that had fallen off the desk. She seems to take the hint and fixes up the desk.
"So where are you headed after port?" You try your best to not sound nosy as you gather a few fallen pencils and stack them back into a cup, with neon drawings on it.
"Haven't really thought about it, I usually go wherever I feel like it." She points towards the map again, and the scattered course is enough to confirm her statement. You ask her about the places she's been to, mostly coastal cities, save from Piltover itself. Following the same patterns most Piltover ships use that avoid Noxian ports. Better safe than sorry, you guess.
Eventually, you start to see the hangar come into view, and you tell her to brace herself for the landing. You grab her arm when she loses her balance again, making sure to keep a respectable distance. Once a crew member comes into view of the window and throws an okay signal, the both of you exit the ship. You set off for the engine, and she follows with a tool box in tow.
"I have a guess on what could be wrong." She says as she opens up the back panel of the ship. "I'm pretty sure I have a blown gasket."
"I was thinking a cracked engine block." She gives you a look and you shrug. "Just a guess."
She grins at your response. "Wanna make a bet." She turns to the engine and starts unscrewing the outer parts.
"Sure. Always in the mood to be right." You can hear the snort coming from inside the engine.
"Loser buys the winner drinks. Anywhere they want."
"Deal."
"Get ready to lose money later then, I guess." You move to help her remove parts of the engine, which were thankfully cool enough to handle. Then, once you've both gotten most of the attachments unclasped or unscrewed, you roll an engine hoist over to remove the entire engine from the ship. "Ready to be disappointed?" She asks. You send her a cheeky smile.
"Wait." She stops short of lifting one of the covers.
"What, cold feet?"
You scoff. "No, you never told me your name."
She blinks, clearly not expecting the question. She looks off to the side, seemingly debating whether or not she should tell you. Not that she needs to, really, since you have to make her sign a manifest anyway. But you'd prefer if she told you herself.
"Powder." She starts. "My name is Powder." You crack a smile and introduce yourself.
"Powder." You test the name on your lips. It suits her. An unusual name, sure, but you've heard stranger ones.
contains: modern!au, mentions of smoking weed and cigarettes, nsfw content (so minors dni), not proofread, mentions of porn, clitplay and fingering, cunnilingus, degradation (word "slut" is used), sevika being a jackass and teasing the reader about their clothes + possible inexperience, reader's body is referred to with the following terms: "pussy," "clit," "cunt" and "tits," kinda imagined a younger version of sevika here, maybe late twenties
best friend's older sister!sevika who is always cooped up in her bedroom, whirring noises entering the halls from the mechanics she's working with. if you walk past her room, your body immediately gets blanketed with goosebumps from the cold air streaming in from her window, which is always cracked open so that she can blow the smoke from her weed and cigarettes out of there.
sometimes you run into her in the hall outside of her bedroom, cigarette hanging out of her lips, loud music blasting from the speakers she has in there. if you guys are both heading to the bathroom, she'll quietly nod, leaning back into the doorframe to let you go first.
there have been a few occasions where through the open door, you can see a girl laid out on her bed or sneaking out of her window. all you can do is ignore it and try to resist having wandering thoughts about exactly how good she must be in bed to have different girls over all the time.
best friend's older sister!sevika who doesn't really talk to any of you guys, just ruffling your best friend's hair or teasing her before heading back to her room, leaving the rest of you without a word from her. whenever she walks into the kitchen while your friend group is eating or making late night instant ramen, you feel your face heat up at the sight of her in a tight tank top, leaving nothing to the imagination, from her sculpted arms and the grooves of her stomach's abs. she's so tall, so effortlessly handsome, and you can't help but sneak in glances at her back when she bends to the fridge to get some gatorade.
best friend's older sister!sevika who talks to you for the first time when your best friend leaves you alone in the living room to go shower, and sevika enters through the front door, short, black hair tied back. just the sight of her neck is enough to get you tensing up, suddenly acutely aware of the patterned pajamas you have on and how childish they must look to her.
when she spots you, she raises her hand, mumbling an apology, but you insist that the two of you of two can sit together, you were only about to put something on. the truth is, you really don't want to miss the opportunity to get to know her more.
she hesitates, but gives in, sitting on the opposite end of the couch with you, twisting off the cap of her beer bottle and taking a swing from it, grey eyes focused on the television as you scroll through the options.
when you linger on gilmore girls, she scoffs. and not subtly. oh, no, she scoffs loudly, and you turn to find her lips twisted up into a smirk.
embarrassment and defensiveness make for an ugly combination, immediately arousing an irritated, "yes?" from you.
"are we seriously going to watch this crap?"
your mouth drops open. it's the first time she's properly spoken to you one-and-one, except for the brief interactions during your run-ins in the hall, and this is what she says? for a second, you're just stunned at her blunt rudeness, and you need a second to formulate a response before saying, "crap?"
"yes, crap." she tosses her hand at the television. "just a bunch of privileged little shits."
"the show literally deals with money issues!"
she snickers, and you try to ignore the bulge of her arms as they fold over her chest. "which sure aren't that stressful when you have two blue-blooded parents always there to save your ass."
"yes, but on conditions, though!"
she squints at you, lips turned down into a disbelieving frown. "friday night dinner? you're either just as spoiled as them or really naive, because trust me, weekly dinners don't mean shit."
your eyes sharpen into a hard glare, bitterness spilling through at her assumption. "you don't know anything about me!" with an indignant toss of your head, you mutter, "not that you've ever even tried to."
she suddenly bellows with a loud laugh, the edges of it rough and irritatingly pleasing to your ear. "awe, is someone sad over that?"
you roll your eyes. yes, but you weren't about to tell her that, of all people. "no, don't flatter yourself."
"you're not that good of a liar, you know that, right?"
with a twitching eye, you turn on the show, drowning out the noise of her chuckle with an immediate escalation of the volume.
best friend's older sister!sevika who doesn't stop teasing you after that night. now, when you're in the kitchen and she saunters in, she flashes you a smile that's nothing short of complete and utter self-satisfaction. when your best friend leaves you alone in her room, sevika knocks and steps inside, leaning on the wall and asking you how you are, how's work or school, sometimes teasingly tossing in, "you haven't been here in a while -- I didn't make you nervous, did I?"
you always fight back. partially because your attraction to her makes you feel so exposed and flustered that you want to try to hide it through challenging her back rather than being reduced to a blushing, spluttering mess. you know arguing back might be counterproductive, though, since it seems to only amuse even more. but, that leads you to the second reason you keep doing it. because, as on-the-spot and vulnerable it makes you feel, her prodding comments and mischievous attention makes you giddy. sevika, the allusive older sister of your best friend, is actually bantering with you, maybe even flirting with you. and seeing how easily she bounces off your words, how sharp her wit is, makes you only more excited. unnerving as it is, this little thing you guys have going spikes your excitement everytime you come over.
best friend's older sister!sevika who gets bolder and bolder. when she comes into the bathroom as you're brushing your teeth, looking for a hair tie to get her hair out of her face, you catch her in the mirror's reflection glancing at you, eyes quickly flicking up and down. the double take nearly makes you tighten your thighs together, mind whirling with thoughts, speculating over what she might be thinking.
you get your answer when she suddenly snaps the band of your tank top, which causes you to leap on the spot. when your eyebrows furrow into what you hope is a stare strict enough to hide just how turned on you are, she laughs, the noise low and velvety. "cute," she muses, eyes raking over you shamelessly before she reaches to the hairtie on your wrist, snapping it off and tying her hair back with it.
best friend's older sister!sevika who starts working out very intentionally in front of you. doing pull-ups in the kitchen when your friend group is there, lips curling up as her eyes seek you out. usually, by the time she looks in your direction, you've already been staring at her unabashedly for minutes as her arms flex and roll under her ministrations.
you want to crawl into a hole when your best friend smacks your arm, her face squeezed into a sour cringe. "dude, gross."
of course, sevika totally hears the reprimand, and she wiggles a scolding finger in your direction from her corner in the room.
best friend's older sister!sevika who can't stop laughing at the way you gasp and cover your mouth when you catch sight of the lesbian porn opened up on her laptop, which rests amongst her bunched up purple blanket. it only leaves you wondering about what she was doing moments before, if that happy trail you sometimes spot in her loose, muscle-shaped crop tops leads to a curl of hair between her thighs.
"oh, c'mon, have you never seen porn before?"
despite the fact that you can barely keep a straight face in light of this revelation, you manage to bristle. "of course I have."
"oh, yeah?" she leans on her doorframe, tilting her head down to watch you carefully. "got any recs?"
"if I did, I wouldn't share them with you."
"why not?"
"you would just--" you manage to squeeze out before trailing off into silence. the truth is, the idea of you and her watching the same porn, fucking yourselves to the same video, has your clit aching with desire. but, you don't wanna give in that easily, and just do as she requests. something tells you she's too used to getting her way. "you would just corrupt it!"
she raises an eyebrow. "corrupt the porn? by watching it?"
god, you're an idiot. "yes."
"that's quite a feat to manage."
"... yes."
"this wouldn't at all be because you're lying, right? and you really haven't watched porn?"
you grit your teeth, narrowing your eyes at her. god, she's so fucking irritating, talking to you like you're completely sexually oblivious.
at your silence, she ducks her head lower, and you suck in a sharp breath at the feeling of one of her dark locks tickling your cheek. "maybe you're more inexperienced than you let on. maybe you're looking to get corrupted."
fuck, she has no idea. at this point, the rest of your thoughts are practically zapped into silence from the mental image of sevika laying you on her bed, your back to her chest, with her big hands shoved down your panties and massaging your pussy, using your slick to circle your clit into a swollen little bud. her soft lips planting wet, sloppy kisses on your neck and cheek as she coaxes you to watch the filthy video, laughing darkly when you gush at the two women in it eating each other out. biting your ear, whispering how she wants to do this thing or that thing to you, how she'd fuck you better than anyone in these videos could. her thick fingers plunging into your hole, other hand covering your mouth as she makes you come over and over again in her cramped up bedroom.
jesus, this is going too far. you force your body to stiffen, lest her attentive gaze catches any telltale signs of your arousal. "well, maybe you're delusional."
she's unfazed, eyes darting to your lips before meeting your gaze again. "I'm sure I am."
best friend's older sister!sevika who tells your best friend she'll pick you up when she finds out you need a ride home from your part-time job. she insists this is because she doesn't trust your best friend with her car, so she should be the only one to drive it.
when you climb into the passenger seat, you can't help but feel self-conscious, sweaty and exhausted after the long shift. matters are only worsened by being in such a cramped space with her, the very act of being picked up way too date-like for comfort. you can smell her coconut shampoo from here, mixed in with the cologne she wears. her hands on the wheel captivate you, fingers long and thick, veins begging for your tongue to trace them. her hair, which is still bound by your hairtie, is damp and soft.
she takes you out for food, insisting you "get something in you after a long day" (you're certain she's aware of the innuendo, shit-eating grin present when she speaks). when she takes her car into a drive through, she hands you her phone, muttering that you can turn on whatever music you want.
she proceeds to make fun of every song you play.
ignoring your protests, and using her strong arms to shove you aside when you try to lurch over her, she pays. when you thank her profusely, her nose twitches and she nods quietly. you can't help but smile at her modesty.
instead of driving you guys back to hers and your best friend's home, she parks outside the store. you guys continue to listen to music, sharing the meal and talking. her usual snark is present, yes, but she actually listens to you, earnestly so, as you ramble about your shift. she asks you questions, and listens patiently. her answers, on the other hand, are short and to-the-point, but after some nudges to her shoulder and whining, she relents with a sigh and shares some more details.
as the sky darkens, the conversation becomes a bit more personal, and you see a side to her you've never bore witness to before. eyes soft, gaze downcast, voice low, she shows a side to you that's vulnerable. a side that has the layers of responsibility shed.
best friend's older sister!sevika who you can't help but smirk at when her jaw drops upon seeing you in the lacey, skimpy pajamas you recently bought. it costed enough, that's for sure, but you feel immensely successful. after all, you only bought them after seeing them in the porn video she had been watching weeks ago.
"what-- what is that?" her voice is low, hushed.
you touch the back of your neck, suddenly plagued with acute self-awareness over how you look. "just-- it's just pajamas."
that breaks her out of her trance, face breaking into a bout of laughter. "pajamas? you're kidding me, right? you look like you're about to seduce me."
you swallow hard. well, not exactly. all you had wanted was a reaction out of her. actual sex felt like too far-fetched a daydream to get excited over. you try to brush her off, self-doubt gripping you too tightly to allow yourself to be direct. "please, you wish."
"oh? someone's gotten bold." her eyes wander over your body languidly, as though you already belong to her and it's just a matter of time before you admit it. she leans back in the seat at her desk, mouth curving into a playful grin. "besides, who knows if you even have it in you?"
"have it in me to what?"
she snorts. "seduce me, bonehead."
"well, yeah, wouldn't wanna risk disappointing you after all the girls that have been in here."
you wince as soon as the words leave your mouth. god, how pathetic are you? you already sound like a jealous girlfriend, and you haven't even confessed to her.
luckily, sevika chooses not to tease. instead, her mouth presses into a firm line and she says, "you don't need to worry about that."
you gulp at the earnest words. what the hell is that supposed to mean? does she know just how serious your words are? because it sure does sound like that. the thrill of her maybe knowing, maybe even returning, your feelings has your stomach flipping. "why?"
she fiddles with some diagrams on her desk, flicking a thumb on the corner, before her shoulders heave with a sigh. "for the same reason I haven't had any girl over for months."
you nearly flinch at the words, the sheer vulnerability in them yanking you into an intense fixation on her words. is she implying she hasn't had any girl over for months because of you? because, well, what reason could explain both that and why you needn't be afraid of dissatisfying her?
you can only think of one.
best friend's older sister!sevika who pulls away from her desk, spreading her thick thighs over the seat, and nods you over. "come here."
when your trembling body reaches her, she hesitates before spreading her hand along your thighs. you immediately clutch onto her shoulders, shivering at the feeling of her rough, warm palm scraping along your skin.
the gap between her teeth flashes as she laughs. "liked that?"
your nails dig into her shoulders. you don't wanna give up the game just yet. "no."
"no?" she mumbles, leaning in and grazing her teeth right where the lace trimming of your silk shorts meets your skin. "that's too bad. because if you had confirmed my suspicions, I would've rewarded you." her head leans back, eyes shining under the lamp of her bedroom. "you're lucky I'm nice and will give you one last chance."
fuck. you can't resist, not when you're this tantalizingly close to getting what you want. "fine. I--I liked it, okay?"
she presses a hot, open-mouthed kiss to your inner thigh. "finally."
twenty minutes later, she's on her back in her bed, arms hooked around your thighs while you practically hump her face. your fingers ache with how hard they're grasping onto her headboard, forehead pressed to it as she helps you move your hips on her face. your pussy is making all kinds of squelching noises as she tongues at it, the slippery muscle making a mess of spit and juices as she licks you up so messily, no direction, no rhythm, just raw instinct. her hands have your top shoved up, large hands groping your tits and tweaking your nipples. and god, she just slurps you up, drinking down the thick, sticky arousal coating your folds, wrapping her lips around them to run the tip of her tongue along their shape.
"yeah, fuck my face," she grunts into your pussy. "such a little slut, wandering into my bedroom dressed like that."
a choked out moan leaves you, and she digs her nails hard into your ass as a warning. it makes you jerk harder on her face, her nose bumping against your clit just right and making you cover your mouth in panic. of course sevika takes notice of this reaction, and just a moment later, she's rubbing the point of her nose into your stiff clit, shaking her head side to side so that you get flicked with it.
you think nothing can get better than this -- a notion immediately disproved when sevika's lips round your clit and start sucking it in, her tongue darting out to stroke roughly at it.
and that's how you come, legs shaking as you sag against her headboard and fully sit on her face, unable to stay upright. not that sevika minds, groans of pleasure lost into wetness of your cunt.
best friend's older sister!sevika who actually got her sister's blessing weeks ago and was now just waiting on you.
hiâŠ.. first request i write.. its been awhile and this is months old but i needed something light to come back Lol
i had skibidi anon to back me up and fix some stuff to it so say âthank u skibidi anonâ in the comments âïžâïž
notes! nsfw, no tops or subs just horny teenagers, boob play, getting caught (duh). 900 wc.
ÛȘÛȘàœŽàœ» àŒàżàŒâ âș
it wasnât planned, if so you would've worn a cuter bra.
it was just supposed to be a simple hang out, gossiping about the people you know, or maybe watch a movie or some showâ ugh, you didnât even know how it started, who kissed the other first.
your limbs were tangled up on a knot, cuddling on the old cranky couch. her lips moving fervently against yours, relishing on the way you squirmed and tried to follow her chaotic pace.
âg-gods.. jinxââ you panted, breaking the kiss only for her to keep hers attached to your skin, kissing down your jaw to your neck. it tickled, it made you giggle and shiver. â⊠calm down.â
she mumbled in response, making strings of nonsense, she was so eager⊠so greedy. sheâs been wanting to get her hands on you for a while now, and clearly she didnât want to let you go.
the kisses turned into light nibbles, your head tilting back involuntarily with a low hum. you praise her with a soft caress of your fingers to her scalp.
ââwant you sâbad...â she spoke out, voice muffled against your skin, her hands feeling up your waist, to your hips. she explored every inch of your sides with her rough palms and savored your neck like a starved woman.
it was so hard for you to stay quiet, your stifled noises that could be heard across the room, you were grateful that no one was home, either way, you wouldâve still needed to hold your breath to muffle the soft moans that were ringing pleasantly on jinxâs ears.
her lips trailed back up to yours and you eagerly welcomed her with your tongue out, meeting hers messily. the sound of the sloppy kiss made you feel much more filthy, the mere thought of being vulgar with jinx made you moan particularly⊠loud. she bit on your lower lip and pulled you towards her with a cheeky grin, making her feel so smug.
she tugged at your cute top, silently requesting. with a light huff, feigning annoyance, you took it off, you wouldâve thought that sheâd place her hands on your breasts in an instant.
but no, she just stared at them in awe for a long moment, it slowly made you feel self-conscious even if it was obvious that she liked them. In a failed attempt to hide them by wrapping your arms around, it made them jiggle for a bit.
then there it isâ she quickly puts her hands on you, squeezing lightly as if testing the waters, your approval is silent as you lean into her touch.
she murmurs a praise with the raspy voice youâve grown to love, acknowledging how beautiful you are before kissing you again. it was perfect, her hands, her lips, she made you feel⊠wanted. you were returning the feeling, fidgeting with the loose strands of her cropped shirt.
âya want somethinâ, toots?â she chuckled breathlessly, trailing her lips down your neck again. you chuckled along with her, feeling slightly embarrassed at the call out. âi wanna see you too.â you murmured, tugging at her top more firmly. she didnât tease you much, lifting it up and off her body, leaving her chest exposed.
unlike you, she was so cheeky, cupping her right boob and pinching her nipple as your mouth watered at the sight, âfuckââ within a second, your lips were attached again, hands caressing and groping whatever inch of flesh both of you could reach.
âlike that?â
ây-yeah, just like that.â
you giggled, continuing to flick your tongue on her tit. there was a certain satisfaction in making her breathless and squirmy. the way she pulled at your hair was a bit painful, it was overcame by the pleasure of having her flavor on your mouthâthough you still havenât tasted her.
but you wouldnât, not today.
âoh shit,â you heard a female voice, turning your head to find a pink haired girl standing by the front door with an amused smile. embarrassment hits you like a truck, bringing a furious blush on your adorable flabbergasted face as you look back at jinx. you were a tangled mess of limbs, your lips connected by a string of saliva.
âyou said she wouldnât be home in hours!â you exclaimed in a hushed voice, rushing to grab your top and cover yourself. jinx only snickered, she also had a much softer blush but there was no regret whatsoever.
you could hear the soft laughter of her sister, who was mindlessly making herself at home âobviouslyâ, she gave you some space to get dressed as she walked over to the kitchen.
âi said i thought she wouldnât be home in hours,â she kept chuckling, just as amused as her sister at your obvious distress. she was kind enough to help you, though. âno need to be shy, itâs just my sis.â
you shot her a glare, before averting your eyes to not meet any of theirs as you try to fix your hair, slapping her hand when she tried to reach you again. you werenât mortified, but it was still embarrassing. you didnât even meet her sister formally! and this was her first impression of you, sheâd think youâreâ

The bats scattered from the treetops, their wings slicing through the thick night air. Inside, the Kiramman household fell into an unnatural silence, servants terrified for their lives. Lifting your head up from your book, you frowned at the scream your mother had just let out.Â
You sigh, sliding a book stopper in the page you arrived to, leaving your book on the plush, dark red couch. Walking towards your enraged mother, you placed a hand on her shoulder, âIs there a specific reason as to whyâ?âÂ
ââThe plates-!â She yelled, pointing at the extravagant tableware exclusively shipped from Japan. You raised a brow, turning to the servants who stood frozen.Â
âI donât see a problem with them.â You traced the intricate details with manicured nails. Your mother, however, groaned in irritation, âI specifically asked for the traditional Kiramman ones!â She whined, facing the servants, instructing them to replace the current ones.Â
Once she got out of the dining room, you rolled your eyes at her panicked attitude. Though, someone seemed to have caught you.
âMaking fun of mother, are you?â Your sister called out, appearing out of nowhere as usual. She leaned against the dark marble wall, wearing a white dress shirt and tailored deep navy pants, beating you at dressing up for the special event tonight.Â
She chuckled, placing her hands on her hips, eyeing your attire, âYouâre still in your sleepwear.â Her fingers pinched the satin material of your set, âIsnât this mine?âÂ
Slapping her hand away, you giggled, âTook you long enough to noticeâseems like Violet has entirely captured your attention.â You hum out, enjoying her dumbfounded expression before rushing through the halls and into your room.Â
Knowing your family, they probably told the guests to arrive an hour earlier incase the snow heavily blocked the main roads. Tonight was Christmas Eve, a night in which your family hosts a grand dinner and invites all their business partners. For you, you only tolerated it because mother always promised to spoil you with gifts afterwards.Â
Rapidly changing out of your daywear, you slid into your flowy gown. It was a midnight blue, a corset sitting snug around your waist decorated heavily with intricate black lace and designs. Along with it, the dress exposed your shoulders until the low sleeves hugged your forearms. Humming a tune and putting on a pendant, you heard guests flooding the living rooms downstairs.Â
âGreat.â You sarcastically muttered, unclasping the lid of your burgundy lipstick, coating your lips with it. After making sure you looked appealing to the public and Kiramman name, you slid into the different living rooms.Â
Greeted by numerous guests, you slap on a smile and pretend to thank them for coming. In the corner of your eye, you noticed Caitlyn doing the exact same, but a slightly shorter, pink-haired woman right beside her.Â
You smiled at how adorable they looked together, remembering when your mother had caught Vi in Caitâs bed after last years dinner. To be fair, Vi did come from a wealthy, vampiric background, her father owned the mines containing all the beautiful gems.  So truth to be told, your parents had let her join the family.Â
Sneakily escaping the crowd, you slid into another living room, where your father was. Jumping in surprise, you let out a small apology. Not even glancing at who he was speaking to, you tried to get outâbut your name falling from his lips force you to stay put.Â
Slowly turning back to him, you finally realize who stood beside him. Two men in traditional, formal attire, met your eyes. One, you recognized as Vander. The other..had a scar on one side of his face.Â
Father gently took your hand in his, pulling you beside him, âThis is my youngest.â He introduced you, patting your back when you slightly bow your head. Vander smiles warm-heartedly, âItâs nice to finally meet you, sweetheart.âÂ
He then turns his head to look for someone, âClaggorâ Come here!â You tried not to let your smile slip as a boy a bit older approached. Vander had his hand on his sonâs shoulder, âThis is Claggorâmy oldest. The rest of them are scattered around the house somewhere.â He joked, chuckling at his own joke, but you laughed along.Â
You glance at Silco, who seemed to be studying you, skepticism evident in his gaze. Feeling a bit out of place, you dismiss yourself and enter the other living room reserved for the younger guests.Â
Immediately spotting all your cousins sitting at a corner in the room, you didnât peer to the left to even notice who played at the pool table.Â
Halfway through reaching your cousins, a loud cheer and a familiar raspy voice prompt you to snap your head to the left.Â
âScore! Ekko you suck ass at thisâmight sâwell just quit.â Anyone would recognize the owner of the voice.
The one and onlyâ
âOh my god, toots!â Her arm wraps around your shoulder, playfully forcing you into a hug where youâre mostly squished. Groaning at the lack of oxygen, you pull away, squinting your eyes at her, âStop calling me that.âÂ
She rolls her eyes, her fingers messing up your hairdo, causing you to push her off in pure frustration, âWe havenât seen each other in a year!â Jinx eyes your attire for a split second before walking back to the pool table, where Ekko, Vi and Caitlyn played.Â
âJinx, stop annoying her.â Ekko whispered as you drew near, inspecting her dress shirt and dark pants. Jinx only graced you with a quick glance, turning her attention to picking the stick back up to play.  Crossing your arms, you grew bored of watching them fight at who was better, and made your way over to your cousins.Â
Big mistake.
The minute you sat down with them, all they could chat about was how expensive their next shopping item would be. In addition, the cousin you tolerated the most, suddenly whispered vile words to you, âJinx is kinda cute.â She giggled, checking the blue-haired girl lean her body into the table, creepily focused on shooting the ball.Â
You didnât know why, but that comment of hers made you instantly shoot back, âSheâs far from who you think she is.âÂ
You dozed off on Jinxâs face as an old memory emerged from the dead.
Flashback:
Last year on Christmas Eve.
Jinx sits alongside you at the dinner table, busy goofing around with her siblings. You only resorted to cutting up the food on your plate, your back growing numb from how straight you sat on the chair. Your motherâs presence shooting daggers at your back, silently telling you to act proper. Peering up at Caitlyn, you envied how courageous she was, breaking some rules mother had put out.Â
She was definitely into Violet, you thought, as she continued intensely staring at Viâs lips instead of her eyes. Letting out a sigh of boredom, you glanced at the girl beside you, her fingers acting out the scene she was explaining. Though, Mylo caught you staring, a mischievous grin forming on his lips.
âYo, you ever got with someone?â He asks out of nowhere, forcing you out of your little bubble. Your heart leaped in your chest, everyone on the table turning quiet as they awaited your answer. Fidgeting with the satin fabric of your gown, you felt a blush creep up your face, âUhmâ I havenât yet.âÂ
Jinx chuckled, leaning back in her seat, her gaze on you, âI canât imagine you in a relationship.âÂ
You frowned, silently hurt by that statement, âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â Your tone came out harsher then intended, causing Caitlynâs brows to shoot up in surprise. Jinx stayed relaxed, shrugging her shoulders, âI donât see you in a relationship with anyone.âÂ
Her eyes bore into yours, but you rapidly looked away when tears started to form in the corner of your eyes. You stared down at the pattern of your gown, hoping someone would just cut in and pretended this never happened. Clenching your fists, you held back the tears, narrowing your eyes at the food laying untouched on your plate.Â
Afterwards, Jinx finally continued her human-hunting storytelling with her siblings, as if she hadnât just insulted you. Feeling a tear about to drop, you swiftly wiped it away, throat clogging up. As if on cue, your eyes blurred from the water gathering, leading to Caitlyn and Vi noticing.Â
âHey, you good?â Vi lowly questioned, earning an elbow in the gut from Cait. Trying your best to smile, you nodded,Â
âPerfect.âÂ
That night, you silently cried into your pillow, wishing youâd never gone to the dinner.Â
Flashback end.Â
Blinking away those rough memories, you darted your gaze at Jinxâs body fully arched forward on the pool table as she aimed. To be fair, your cousin was right about her being cute in a way.Â
âIâm sure sheâd like me.â Your cousin twirled a hair, fawning over the blue-haired girl.  Rolling your eyes, you got up and made your way towards Jinx.Â
Regretfully, once your hand touched her forearm and she glanced at you, stunned, your mother barged in, âDinner is ready!âÂ
Your corset was stabbing your front.
Unconsciously sitting down in front of Jinx and in between Claggor and Ekko, you felt trapped. Your mother had organized three dinner tables, you ended up on the âkidsâ table again. Once the food was served, you sensed your stomach growling, the pomegranate juice you drank 2 hours ago not helping. As you lifted your hand to pick up the knife, your fatherâs fork gently tapping on a glass from another table caught everyoneâs attention.Â
âExcuse me, everyone!â He cleared his throat, raising his glass up as everyone quieted down. He then smiled, âIâd like to thank you all for attending our Christmas Eve dinner againââ He then started explaining how special it meant to him.Â
You started dozing off into another world, until you heard his next words, âIâm also glad to announce that iâll be accepting marriage proposals for my youngest daughter!â He glanced at you, not noticing your eyes silently telling him to shut up.Â
Feeling everyoneâs intensive stare, you instantly shot up from your seat, ignoring your mothers voice as you stormed out the dining room. Fury filled within as you ran up the stairs, holding up your dress and heels clacking against the carpet.Â
Heavily breathing, you slammed your bedroom door shut, grabbing the first thing you sawâa vase filled with velvet roses and shattering it against the carpeted floor. Letting out a frustrated scream, you huffed and laid on your bed, frowning up at the ceiling filled with carved designs.Â
Few minutes passed and startlingly, a knock is heard from the other side of your door. Scoffing, you sat up, âGo away!â You cry out, crossing your arms at their absurd interruption of your thoughts.Â
Another knock is heard, prompting you to groan, flicking your hair back before stomping towards the door, it goes flying open.Â
Your scowl is replaced by a bewildering gaze at the sight of Jinx waiting outside your door.Â
âwhat on earth are you doing hâ?âÂ
She cuts you off,
ââwhat on earth are you doing here?â Jinx imitates your British accent, shoving your shoulder with hers as she walks into your room, âCaitlyn and Vi forced me to come fetch you.â She continues to observe  the room, stopping at your vanity. Closing the door, you stopped beside her, puzzled by her behavior.Â
âYou donât have toââÂ
She turns around, leaning her face into yours in a flash, only a couple of centimeters away, âI didnât mean to make you cry,â Her rose-hued eyes entrancing you, â..You shouldâve told me.âÂ
Incapable of finding your words, you resorted to stepping back, holding your hands up, âI got over it. Iâm fine now.â Jinx shook her head, her arms behind her back as she continuing stepping closer.Â
She tilted her head to the side, a lazy smile forming, her pointy fangs coming into view, âDonât lie to me, toots.â Her tone clearly holding a hint of manipulation orâŠthreatening you. You raised a brow, but the memories of what happened just now came rushing back.Â
âIt doesnât matterâyou were right,â You huffed out, palms clenching and avoiding Jinxâs piercing stare, âMy father is going to force me into a marriage with a man who can offer enough money andââ You felt tears starting to spill and sobs starting to escape. You felt defeated, knowing that you were only a pawn in your fathers games.
Jinx froze up but then guided you to the end of the bed, sitting you down with her, removing your palms from shielding your tear-stained face, âDonât cry, toots. Youâre ruining your pretty makeup.â She wiped away the mascara stains, her soft touch led to you calming down. Sniffling, you glanced at the shattered glass on the floor.Â
Returning your attention to Jinx, you felt depressed, âWhy does Cait get to marry the woman she adores?â You didnât want to seem jealous. You were truly happy for your older sister, but knowing she gets to marry the love of her life made you think it was unfair. Jinx only shrugs, rolling her eyes, âI donât know what she finds attractive in my sister.âÂ
Her comment prompts you to let out a laugh, âAt least sheâs kind.â Jinx scrunched up her nose, âAnd iâm not?â She leaned into your face, large innocent-looking eyes peering at you.Â
Glancing away from her, you pressed your lips together, âFrom experience, youâre not particularly nice.â Jinx chuckles, nudging my shoulder, âBut toots, I only ever said that because I didnât want you in a relationship.âÂ
Snapping your head towards her, you scoff, âAre you serious?ââÂ
She nods, laying on your bed with her elbows holding her up.
âAnd plus, itâs not like your father wonât accept a woman if she everâŠâ Jinx trailed off, eyes darting up to yours, as if caught like a deer in headlights. Knitting your brows together, you twist your upper body to lean over her, noticing her shoulders tense up, âJinx, donât tell me youâve got a crushââÂ
The door slams open behind you, the presence of Caitlyn and Vi gracing you both. Whirling around, you scowl at their interruption, âDid you forget how to knock?â Vi acknowledged you for a split second before finding Jinx, still manspreading her legs on the edge of your bed.Â
âJinxâSilco is still waiting for his wine!â Vi tugged her up, confusingly staring at the room, âHowâd you end up here instead?â She whispered, not letting Jinx respond, rushing her out. Caitlyn immediately closed the door, wrapping her arms around you, âIâm so sorry about father.â She mumbled into your hair, soothing the strands, âI spoke to motherâ sheâll fix everything.â You knew your father wouldnât listen, but you answered with nothing more than a nod.Â
Caitlyn successfully convinced you to head back downstairs, sneaking in some roasted potatoes and other side dishes into the living room. She sat with you, whispering about how ridiculous their cousins looked with tacky jewelry. Soon, the dinner was over and some guests had already taken their leave, As a result, the remaining guests were primarily close family, Viâs included.Â
Because of a less crowd, mother opened up the ballroom, forcing younger people to start dancing along the music the musicians created. Dodging your mother, you watched your sister teach Vi the foot work, giggling when Vi failed miserably.Â
âJinxâ Behave.â A rough tone cut from behind, compelling you to spin around. There stood Silco, telling Jinx off. She didnât seem bothered, opting on playing with her braid. The girl looked bored.Â
Glancing at your fatherâ seated close to the dance floor and speaking to partners, an idea popped in your head. Grinning, you pushed through your cousins, reaching the duo.Â
âSorry, could I borrow Jinx for a minute?â You gently asked Silco, already taking Jinxâs hand in yours. Overlooking Jinxâs speechless expression, you pulled her alongside you till the dance floor. You swiftly get into position, hand on her shoulderâthe other intertwined with her hand. Jinx grins teasingly, âDesperate for a dance, toots?â Compared to her sister, Jinx knew how to waltz, her steps perfectly matching yours. After twirling you around, you were met with her face again, chest colliding with hers, âI donât want my father introducing me to potential candidates.â You whispered in her ear, wanting your father to notice the intimate exchange.Â
Jinx only flashes a cunning smile, hand resting on your waist, âGeezâ I can already imagine those old men lining up.â She jokes, leading to you grumbling under your breath, fingers tightening on the material of her dress shirt. Noticing the anxious atmosphere, Jinx pulls you into her, moving you both away from the dance floor, face nuzzling to the side of your face, âHow about a little distraction?â She hummed out.
Puzzled by her suggestion, you shrugged and spotted your father watching, prodding you to dart your gaze back on Jinx. Resting your palm on her collarbone, you tilted your head, âCareful, I bite.â You didnât intend to come across as flirtatious, but Jinx was already wickedly grinning.
To your surprise, she pushes you against the wall, her head dipping to meet your lips in a lustful kiss. Eyes fluttering shut, your hands instinctively rise to tangle in her hair , yanking her closer. Her chilled palms trail up your back, leaving goosebumps. Feeling a presence approach you both, you snatched Jinxâs hand without glancing at the person and slid out the ballroom.Â
Jinx giggled, still being led by you to the upper floor. Once you closed your bedroom door shut, you grasped the back of Jinxâs head, slamming your lips against hers. She let out a barely audible moan, stepping back till her leg touched the edge of your bed. Sending you a look, you nodded and pushed her down, attacking her neck. Jinx tried to silence her noises, gripping your hair as you sucked on her skin.Â
Your love bites contrasted against the pale skin, little bruises forming on each side of her neck. Pulling away, you bend down to untie her boots, taking them off. Jinx had a star struck visage, gulping when you began unzipping her pants. Not letting her help you, you unbuttoned her dress shirt, sliding it off of her. Jinx was left in her undergarments, her chest completely exposed to you.Â
You didnât waste any time in moving her to the center of the bed, straddling her lap as you took off your corset and slowly pulled up your gown, revealing the royal blue lingerie. Jinx sucked in a breath at the sight of your body, cold palms instantly palming your breasts. Letting her massage your chest, you leaned down to lick her nipple. Eliciting a wince out of her, Jinxâs hands move to your forearms, legs naturally curving upwards, knees nudging your side. Continuing your assault on her nipples, she whined beneath you, chest rising.Â
â..toots, I didnât expect this!â She cried out, whimpering right after, nails scratching your back. Smiling against her sore nipple, you palmed her breast, kissing up her chest until you reach her lips. Engulfing her in a deep kiss, her tongue slid past your lips, prompting you to moan into her. Your hand trails downwardâto her upper thigh, squeezing her plush muscle. Biting her lip, Jinx observed as you position yourself below her hips. Grabbing her legs, she squirmed when you spread them apart, exposing her further.Â
To her dismay, you kissed the inside of her thighs, not giving her the satisfaction of getting what she wants. A couple of minutes passed, fueling her impatience till she nudged your face with the same leg you currently attended to, âUghâ câmon..âÂ
Displeased with her recklessness, you wrapped your arms under her thighs, forcing them open, âThis is what you asked for.â You warned before ripping her panties apart and lowering your head, tongue darting out to deliver a slow, long lick up her pussy.  Gasping, Jinx bucked her hips, running her fingers through your hair, demanding more. You then sucked, your lips hugging her sweet cunt, spotting the blue-haired girl roll her eyes back from the ecstasy.Â
Your tongue licked in a circular motion, nose nudging her clit as you forcefully kept your lips attached. Her back arched, a hand gripping the expensive sheets whilst crying out pleas for a release. Chuckling against her pussy, you watched in amusement as her thighs wrapped around your head, struggling to contain her pleasured murmurs, head tilting back to display her bruise covered neck.Â
âI canâtâ I canâtâ!â She cries out, lower body twitching with the way you edged her clit with kisses. Letting out a groan, she huffed in exasperation when you withdrew from her, â..ughâyouâre so annoying.â She whined out, legs dangling on the bed and curiously watching when you stood up, sliding off the lingerie to unveil yourself. Her lips curled into a grin, shamelessly staring when you opened a drawer, pulling out a strap.Â
As you crawled back on the bed, Jinx chuckled, âWeâre you planninâ on using that on me?â She eyed the strap and peeked up at you hovering over. You smiled, placing a gentle kiss on her cheek,Â
Noticing her eyes dart back at the strap, you licked her earlobe, ââŠ.donât tell me youâre nervous.â She avoided your gaze, looking to the side.Â
She rolled her eyes, scoffing, âAs if.â She mumbled, sucking in a breath when you spread her legs. You hummed, positioning yourself so that the strap aligned with her center.Â
âBe as loud as you wantâ the walls are sound proof.â You bent down, palms resting on the pillow Jinxâs head laid on. Seeing the way she stared up at you, her eyes revealing a hint of submission, you fold instantly. Her hands come up to rest on your shoulders, a sly grin spreading across her face, âIâm all yours, toots.âÂ
Her words prompt you to sit up, palm on her lower stomach as you aligned the strap and slowly slid it in. Jinx gasps, hand gripping your wrist. Watching as the length of the strap entered Jinx, you lowered yourself, letting her wrap her legs around your hips. Leaning into her head, you whispered, âThis is for embarrassing me last year.âÂ
In a split second, you pulled the strap halfway out before slamming back into her, causing her to cry out, âFuckâ! I told youââ Sheâs cut off by her own whimper.Â
Continuing your rough actions of pulling out and ramming into her, Jinx didnât realize how loud she was, her blissful gasps echoing around the room.Â
Little did she know, you lied straight to her face. The room was nowhere near soundproof.Â
Enjoying the sound of her pleasured groans, you forced her leg up to rest on your shoulder, spreading her further and letting you reach a sensitive spot. Squeezing her soft thighs, your lips pepper her pale, plush skin with wet kisses.
Flinching at the new sensation, Jinx grasps the sheets beneath her as you plunged into her restlessly, âShitâ Iâm gonnaââ Her back arches as you sped up, an extremely loud moan escaping her.Â
You chuckled as she pled for you to not stop and edge her, muttering curses as she nearly reached her limit. Finally, with a whine and her eyes squeezing shut, the string snapped.Â
Observing her chest rise and fall rhythmically, you rubbed the soft skin of her lower stomach, gently pulling out. She lets out heaved breaths, the back of her hand coming up to press against her eyes, âThat wasâŠâ She trailed off, still out of breath.Â
âIâll go get you towel.â You climbed out the bed, heading to your bathroom and quickly crawling back with a wet towel. As Jinx sat up against the headboard, you untied the bed drapes, hiding yourselves with the thick dark curtains. The blue-haired girl opened up her legs, inspecting the way you sat right in front of her, head bent down to clean her up. Pressing the wet towel against her, she twitched, but didnât say a word. Humming a calming tune, you resumed to clean her, wincing along with her when you accidentally wiped too hard.Â
âHey, toots.â She whispered above you, prompting you to look up, raising a brow.
She smugly smiled, leaning in, ââŠwanna get married?âÂ
extra
The moment she asked, you reluctantly answered, âI would..but my father decides everything.â Jinx pursed her lips, but nodded, letting you continue paying attention to wiping her clean. After that, you checked the time and gasped at the numbers indicating the sunrise. It didnât change much, you were all used to sleeping in the day and waking up at night.Â
Realizing how exhausted Jinx was, you let her stay in your roomâher whole family in guests rooms across the halls. You also noticed how often she woke up, as if snapping out of a nightmare. Pulling her closer, you let her snuggle into you, her head resting on your chest.Â
Though, when you woke up, itâs as if the whole bed was turned upside down. Some covers slid off the bed, pillows scattered everywhere. Jinx however, changed positions and slept on her stomach, arms wrapped under a pillow and one leg curved upwards.Â
She looked so beautiful, you thought, shamelessly glancing at her chest and toned arms. Her face had, for once, a relaxed expression. But you knew better, and opted to gently waking her up for a shower. Your mother would definitely come up to wake you up in a bit for a grand breakfast with all the guests that slept over.Â
Fighting Jinx to wake up was hard, sheâd turn away from you, grumbling under her breath about needing a couple of minutes. You tried everything, until you had nothing left but to attack her with kisses. Turning her onto her back, you crawled to hover over her, nuzzling your head in the crook of her neck. Once your lips sucked on a spot, she sat up, pushing you off, âIâm up..!âÂ
Guiding her to the bathroom was worse, her legs were sore, forcing you to hold her up and help her into the warm bath. Bathing together was definitely another level of comfortability.
Letâs just say, that when you both entered the living room, with Jinx limping all over the place, everyone had figured out the story behind the pleasured noises coming out of your room.Â

ââ CRASHLANDIN' ON YA' ââ
a shooting star was your first impression of it.
the past week had been terrible; there were no bonfires on the beach this time because everyone was at the town center celebrating for whatever reason. you stumbled onto the beach sand and stayed on the ground coughing hysterically.
sand stuck to your wet body and hair. you were so tired you could barely keep your head up. what was this, the third time youâve been waterboarded? but hey, whoâs keeping count? this is the price that comes with being a good person. curiosity killed the cat, and it was going to get you killed one day.
youâve accepted itâ death, and if you were going to die, it might as well be for something cool like trying to take down the gang that has your home in a chokehold. whatâs so wrong with wanting to go out a hero?Â
then thatâs when you saw it. a bright white star rushing away in the sky.Â
the perfect time to make a wish! you folded your hands together and closed your eyes.
star⊠make my life worth more than this.
you opened your eyes and the star wasâŠcoming towards you?
your eyes widened, and you booked it off the sandy territory, losing balance every now and then. dunking and hiding behind the concrete wall that separated the beach from everything else, you covered your ears. the debris covered the portion of the beach, some even thrown over your head.
you kept your eyes closed for a long time before noticing the orange hue of the flames. getting up from your hiding spot and walking towards the destruction. there wasnât much fire so those would be easy to put out. the fire wasnât your concern though, it was what you would find. was someone there? are they alive?
coughing and waving your hand in front of your face to wave out the smoke, you finally found someone. they were crawling away from the rubble. you run over to them, but just as you get there their body has already gone limp. it was a female your age, the prettiest shade of blue youâve ever seen, with a purple streak.
you knelt down and scooped her up in your arms, the stranger in your arms was lightâ and you had the strength of the average woman.Â
overtime the locals got her settled down, and she became flosnumâs talk of the town. apparently, there were three other people in the blimp that crashed but didnât survive. not that the blue-haired mystery woman would know since she spent the majority of her time being nursed back to health and secluding herself from the rest of the world in her new complementary flosnum home.
flosnum has had a huge population surge which meant a lot more houses and some left vacant.Â
as creepy as it sounds, you couldnât stop thinking about thinking about her. washing dishes? thinking of her. bartending? thinking of her blue hair. staying at that boring shop filled with gunk? thinking about what kind of person she is.Â
itâs safe to say she lived in your mind rent-free. you couldnât help it; she just seemed so cool! coming from the times youâve been able to catch a glimpse of her. she dressed so strangely, too. you wanted to ask her so many things. where was she from? is her hair naturally blue? is her favorite color blue? what does she like?
just what kind of person was she?
the first time you were able to formally meet her was two days ago.Â
TINKETTES: SCRAPS & PARTS
leon, the old man who owned this place, had died. rest in peace. he left behind a museum of metal scrapes, tools, wires, and a whole bunch of other stuff that you didnât understand. the only reason you were tending to it was because leon was the bar ownerâs brother and he said he would give you a raise if you did this one favor for him.Â
in the back area for employees only, you threw a ball at the wall and caught it. you did that a couple hundred times before you heard the windchimes sung. someone was here? nobody ever visited.
trying to get out of the chair too fast, you ended up falling on your side. you opened the door to find her, of all people.Â
you swear youâre not a creep, but just from her backview, she was gorgeous. you wondered what she looked like with long hair.Â
"need help with anything?â
it was a normal day at the âSEVEN CHIMESâ (aka the pub). mindlessly placing drinks down in front of customers, you barely registered your coworkerâs call for you. â[name]!â you turn around and run over to the counter.
âyeah?â
âbig don wants to see you after your shift.â stella states as she mixes a drink. a warning. a sharp chill went down your spine, maintaining a smile, you nod.
shit. what was it now? had you not already paid enough money for the month? or was it the incident with the pervert customer?Â
you spent the rest of your shift with a gaping pit in your stomach. serving drinks, rowdy customers, talks about the mysterious blue-haired girl.
walking into big donâs office felt like walking into a dark room: ensure of what you would be greeted with. âstella said you needed me?â the sickly pale man, but not thin, leaned back in his chair with a dice between his fingers. his other hand tapped the desk, staring directly at you. âdid i not give you a task?â
straighten your posture and answer âyou⊠you did! you told me to hurry up andââ
ââget rid of the shop.â he finishes your sentence. âyes. yes, i did say that, yet i have not seen any progress.â
âiâŠâ your throat felt dry. terribly dry. fidgeting with your hands you finally gain the courage to speak. âi did! i mean i am close to doing soâ a girl wanted the shop.â
he nods slowly, rubbing his chin. ââŠgoodâŠgoodâŠâ big don leans closer to his desk. âyou still have to pay for your recent accident, you are aware of that, correct?âÂ
 âyes sir,â you respond nodding frantically.
letting out a small mocking huff his eyes finally turn away from him. âyouâre lucky, you did something good. iâm not as angry as i was before.â he waves his hand to shoo her away. âi will deal with you some other time.â
wasting no time you got out of the office.
you were going to kill him one day.
you didn't dwell on it too much. that wasnât your thingâ as a matter of fact, that was the only thing keeping her alive. it happens, and then it passes over, no need to dwell on it [name]. patting your head (which stella points out to be a nervous tick), you waited for the blue-haired beauty.
she was cute and all, but she seriously needed to hurry up and appear so she could give her the keys to this place. if she didnât, you would die (half joking). thinking about it⊠did you say that you would come to her or for her to come to you? you honestly couldnât remember.
letting out a groan, you put your hands on your face. if you keep looking at the same weirdly bent metal scrap, you are going to lose your shit.
great, now you had to get up.
was walking around flosnum begging people for the tiny pieces of information they had on bluey beauty odd? yes, next question.
if you had to walk another ten minutes in the scorching hot sun, you would melt. being on the verge of heat stroke, you place your hand over your forehead to block the sun and lose your balance a bit, walking backward. you felt your back hit someone.
âoopsie daisy!â the person said in surprise.
turning around to apologize, your eye widens, âbluey!â
she looked less⊠sad and more alive the last time you saw her. there was neon splatted all over her clothes, and a sparkle in her pink eyes twinkled. she then narrowed at the sight of you, âyouâŠâ she was holding a box inside her left arm and was licking an ice cream.
you grab onto her shoulders, âi was looking everywhere for you!â you felt like you could finally breathe without having to worry about dying the next day.
âyou were?â she tilts her head, confused about why someone would look for her.
you wrap an arm around her shoulder, she tries to move away from you. normally, you would care about being impolite, but you were on the verge of fainting. âsurprise surprise, you got the shop!â you jingle the keys in front of her face. âplease, move in as soon as possible.â you said smiling, she finally slips away from your grasp causing you to stumble a bit.
her full frame was now in your view. she was slim, toned core and arms, had an awesome tattoo, and was really paleâ too pale for a place like this; some woman would die to have that body.
âgonna give me those keys, or was your real plan just to check me out?â she continues to lick her ice cream. shaking your head, you toss the keys to her. she catches the keys âthanks for the candy, stranger. it really helped a girl out.â she says with her back turned walking away from you.
wait wait. no, thatâs not how itâs supposed to go. yeah, you were supposed to give her the keys, but you were hoping for a conversation longer than 30 seconds. okay maybe you were hoping way more than that⊠maybe being friends or something like that.
jogging up to her pace, you walk alongside her. âso!â you try to keep the conversation going. she furrowed her brows at you, either confused or annoyed by your attempt. âi was thinking since youâre new and everything that maybe youâd need a friend.âÂ
at first, she slowed down and she just stared. not at you. it was like she was lost in her mind. âa friend, huh?â her voice lowered, âsorry, toots, i donât do friends.âÂ
jinx didnât do friends.
she didnât need for them. the closest thing she had to a friend was sevika, and she wasnât even a friend she was more like⊠an annoying aunt.Â
they didnât last.Â
besides⊠who would want to deal with her? vi didnât, silco only made her condition worse, she always felt like a chore to sevika, and ekko⊠boy genius was too good for her. jinx wasn't who he wanted.
powder cleaned up the shop (by cleaning up, she put all the junk in the employee room). it felt nice to clean up; it was like her body was moving on auto-pilot just like it had been doing for the past two days. everything felt like an out-of-body experience after the numbness she felt the first month she had got here.
she grabbed a teddy bear out of the box and tied it up to the ceiling. for some reason, she kept the nagging thing around; powder kept sweeping up the place, âtidyingâ it up to her liking.
why do you keep pushing everyone away?
âshut up.â powder didnât have the patience for it.
why do you keep pushing everyone away?Â
her grip tightened around the broomstick. âwas me tying a noose around your neck not enough?â
why do you keep pushing everyone away? why do you keep pushing everyone away? why do you keep pushing everyone away? why do you keep pushing everyone away? why do you keep pushing everyone away?Â
because youâre a jinx.
jinx reached to her hip to grab her gun to shoot the annoying bear. of course, there was no gun to pull out from a holster. there was no reason to have one in a place like this. old habits die hard.
because everyone who gets close to you dies.Â
jinx.
dropping the broom, she turned on her heel and faced the teddy bear, âiâm not a jinx!â her shout seemed to snap her back to reality. it was quiet. so quiet that she was able to hear her own heavy breathing. ânot⊠not anymoreâŠâ her eyes were fixed on the bear.
âi left all of that behind.â her raspy voice cracked, arguing with it. âitâs safe here, no danger!â she took strides to the annoyance, âno reason for someone around me to die this time!â she ripped the bear off of the noose, its head coming off.
so why do you keep pushing everyone away?
even with its head rolled on the floor it still tried to get its point across.
if she was right. if she believed everything she just said, why did she keep pushing people away? thereâs no reason to be scared of losing someone; thereâs no danger here.
jinx dropped the bear and turned around to get back to cleaning up. she crouched down to pick up the broom but her red-violet eyes caught something. a sticky note.
ONLY COSTS FIVE!
with a turtle drawn as a signature. she dropped her broom and dashed out of the shop.
powder wasnât sure what the plan was, maybe there was no plan to begin with. she wanted to talk to youâ to change her answer. she did want to be friends. she needed to get it off her chest because what if she waits too long and you donât want to be friends anymore? what if you forget you even asked her? what if you didn't mean it?
she was on her way to find you at the bar (like you said for her to find you). on her way there she saw a bright light reflection of a bronze turtle necklace. she got cold feet.
odd.
very odd.
jinx never felt like this. why was telling someone you want to be friends so hard?
all of this leads to now, her stalking you, watching you from rooftops. it wasnât her initial intention! she just panicked. it was night; it was the perfect time for stalking anyway. jinx followed you. the paths you took were odd. just where were you heading?
an alleyway. alleyways in flosnum were nothing like zaun; they were dimly lit, painted murals with vines, and flowers blooming from the cracked cement, making it their home.
two men walk up to you. âyou know we donât want to do this.â one of them says sympathetically. you didnât seem surprised; it was like you were expecting them.Â
âkiss my ass.â you bit back then a palm connected with your right cheek.Â
oh.
this was not what powder was expecting.
a fight broke out. for a young woman, you sure were holding your ground against two muscled middle-aged men. you certainly werenât the most skilled person jinx had seen fight, but you made the most of what you could with your frame. jinx debated on whether she should help you out or not. you were obviously going to lose, as of now, you had it in the bag.Â
that was until one of them took hold of your hair behind you. the other man spit out the blood from his mouth onto the cement. âstop fighting back and just take the punishment.â he raised his fist and punched you in the stomach, knocking the wind out of you completely.
he winds up his fist again and you prepare yourself for the impact.Â
you then saw a streak of pink. it shimmered. there was no longer a man; there was a woman, strands of blue and purple peeking out of the hood.
wait a minute⊠you looked down to see the man underneath her feet. did she just land on him? âwhat the fuckâŠâ your eyes trail back up to the woman.
âyes, yes, give it up for your hero.â jinx spreads out her arms, waiting for applause. before you could say anything, she was already off the man and gone from your view. you no longer felt a tight grip on your hair and stumbled forward.
the man backed up âwho the hellââ jinx lashes out a well-aimed kick to the manâs head, his head collides with the alleyway wall and turns into a limp.
it was over so quickly. your arm still wrapped around your stomach. the womanâs hood falls, though you already had a good guess on who it was, her pink eyes fixated on you.
not knowing what to do, you speak up. âwere you stalking me?âÂ
âseriously? no, thank you?â
âoh, of course, where are my manners? my knight in shining armor, thank you ever so much!â your words dripping with sarcasm a smirk gracing your lips.
âdamn right, toots.â with her hands clasped behind her back she strolled toward you, her hips swaying with each stride. as she stopped directly in front of you her shimmering eyes darted around you nervously. âyes.â
confused at the simple word, you tilt your head, trying to make sense of it. her irises dilated.
âI want to be friends.â sparkling doe eyes met with yours briefly before darting away.
not knowing how to react, you spoke up, âdid you come all this way to say that?â great working [name], you just ruined your chance of becoming friends with the cool blue-haired beauty.
seeing your mistake, you shook your head, recognizing how much of a poor choice of words that was. âshit, sorry.â now she was leaning toward you she was close. so close. her face was just mere inches away from yours. âshut up and let me say this.â
yes maâam.
getting out of your face, jinx tries to stand up straight. âiâm a handfulâ more than that. I just want you to know what you are getting yourself beforeâŠâ
this was when you realized that powder wasnât mysterious for the aesthetic. not because she was some attention seeker like some locals would say. not because she was a loser. powder had a past that genuinely haunted her. those eyes carried a lifetime of pain and the way her shoulders were slumped made her seem exhausted.
you didnât know why she was she looked so drained. youâd be lying if you said you didnât want to find out. despite her weary demeanor, she was still reaching out, still holding on, and you were willing to take her hand because if anything she it looked like she needed this more than you.
you wanted a cool friend. jinx needed a friend.
before jinx could continue speaking, you blurt out, âwhen do you want to hang out?â jinx wasnât sure if she should smack you upside the head for interrupting her or if she should blow something up out of excitement⊠so she stared at you. fireworks seemed to pop behind her eyes.
âright now.â powder grabbed your hand in a swift motion, her grip firm yet fearful. the action causing you to pivot in the direction she was taking you. now running, she pulled you along with her. powder didnât know where she was running, she just needed to get the jitters out of her with you at her side.
ignoring the fact your legs felt like jelly because of the recent fight you smile, âi still donât know your name!â laughing into the breeze that rushes through your hair.
glancing back at you, jinx caught sight of your smile. as if the upturn of your lips were a virus, a smile tugged onto her lips. âiâll tell you when iâm ready.â jinxâs words echoed behind them.
âalright, baby blue.â

VI HAS A HUGE PROBLEM.
One that supersedes every issue sheâd ever given weight to in all of her four (and a half) years of university. Is way larger than twice-a-day practices on and off the ice that go hand-in-hand with studying so hard to make sure that her grades donât slip a fraction. Probably way bigger than the fact that her little sisterâs graduating high school soon and sheâs trying her absolute best to be as great a role model as she can despite wanting to crack under the pressure. And most definitely bigger than her favorite on-again-off-again fling, Cait Kiramann, whose rare to come by these days.
Vi has a huge problem, and quite frankly, itâs you.
In hindsight, sheâs been relatively good at overlooking you, not that itâd been intentional to begin with, but Vi knows a lot of people. Too many, she feels sometimes. So it's easy for you to slip through the cracks when everyoneâs vying for even a shred of her attention.
Perhaps itâs what piques her interest when your orbits finally do collide. Because, admittedly, you know all about Vi. Know that sheâs probably one of the most valuable players on the uniâs hockey team (sheâs an absolute beast on the ice). Also know that sheâs a biomedical physics major and actually incredibly smart. But most of all, you know that not only is Violet a flirt, sheâs a player.
Not necessarily that youâve ever really been on the receiving end, but mostly because her reputation precedes her and youâve seen it all from a distance. Can't not when the decorated hockey star is such a charmer whether she intends to be or not. Vi has girls both certain and questioning stumbling for a single glance.
You often think itâs pitiful, but itâs not like itâs really your problem.
Until it is.
It all starts at The Afterparty.
Hours after a big victory in the first game of three that solidifies whether the university hockey team participates in the championships, Violet is the star of tonightâs celebration.
Sheâd sunk the winning shot, and for that sheâs being poured shot after celebratory shot. By eleven sheâs practically hammered and itâs when her teammate, Ellie, and the captain, Abby, finally show up.
The three of them together, drunk, is like a minefield of obnoxious laughter, dirty innuendos, and rowdy behavior.
And for a while itâs funny, has Vi feeling like sheâs on cloud nine, but eventually, the drunken high begins to evaporate and she starts to feel a little overwhelmed.
The spotlight shifts and even though Vi typically preens under the attention, sheâs grateful to finally breathe.
With a plastic cup full of water, sheâs sliding the back door open and stepping out onto the back patio to take in the cool air for a breather.
She makes a move towards the stairs, but nearly jumps out of her skin when she registers the silhouette at the base of the steps.
âJesus, fuck,â Vi hisses to herself. âYou scared the shit outta me.â
You donât even spare her a glance over your shoulder, just take a sip from your drink.
âSorry,â you hum passively.
She catches her breath, doesnât even bother to ask permission as she drops all of her weight next to you.
The step creaks under pure muscle.
Her strong legs stretch out, elbows settling back against the step up as she waits. And waits. And waits.
The amount of silence that lapses is unusual, uncharacteristic for Vi, especially so because people are typically babbling enough to fill the void when it comes to her.
But you just sit there, nursing your beer and staring up at the stars. The moon hangs half in the sky, softly illuminating the planes of your features.
Itâs her first good look at your face and Viâs definitely drunk, but the immediate thought that comes to her mind is pretty, pretty, pretty. Undeniably and painfully pretty. And not Caitlyn pretty, the only girl sheâs ever really used as a benchmark, but intimidatingly so in your own right. Makes her swallow hard, throat bobbing as she watches you unapologetically.
âItâs rude to stare, Violet,â you say simply, eyes finally flitting to meet hers.
Her breath catches in her throat, earthy flecks dancing in your moonlit irises. God, your eyes. Framed by thick lashes and round as you look up at her.
âYou know who I am?â she asks stupidly as if point fives of her face arenât blown up into memes and plastered all over the house.
âWho doesnât?â you ask, breathing a puff of humorless laughter as you crush the can in your ringed fingers.
And perhaps you got her there, but Viâs feeling exceptionally small under your gaze despite usually filling out a room. Something about you makes her shrink.
âIâ fuck,â Vi stumbles, cheeks red because youâre looking at her with an indecipherable gleam in your gaze that has her squirming. âWhatâs your name?â
She cringes at herself, rolls the piercing in her nose once, twice, for comfort.
You laugh again, a little more genuine this time because, from a distance, the athleteâs usually so suave, undeniably gorgeous and composed. Right now, the girl in front of you only ticks one of those boxes.
â________,â you offer.
She weighs the name on her tongue, decides she likes it a lot, and tries to shake off whatever this feeling youâre giving her is.
âAnd you go to school here?â she asks.
You nod once.
âNeuroscience, fourth year.â
âHuh, weâre in similar fields, but Iâve never seen you around,â Vi observes. Because sheâs certain sheâd bookmark a face like yours, absolutely no doubt about it.
âWe had organic chemistry together sophomore year with Dr. Talis,â you say matter-of-factly, like youâre not blowing her mind right now. âAnd Iâm auditing Medardaâs biometry class this semester.â
Viâs floored.
âWait, wait, but...â Sheâs trying to piece the puzzle together, but her brainâs still a little fuzzy, equal parts from the alcohol, but also because sheâs caught a whiff of your perfume and you smell so sweet.
âI pop in every once in a while,â you tell her. âBut I tutor in that time slot every Tuesday and Thursday, only really go when I donât have any appointments.â
âHold on, this is nuts,â Violet says, body easing to face you. You flinch because she doesnât realize sheâs practically yelling. âThereâs no way, I definitely wouldâve remembered you if that was the case.â
You hum, corners of your lips quirking as you shrug your shoulders.
âDoubt it,â you counter. âIâm nothing particularly spectacular.â
âNothing particularly spectacular,â Vi repeats under her breath.
And under normal circumstances, sheâd be flirting up a storm right now, trying to charm her way into getting you to bite, but this is one of the first semblances of normalcy sheâs experienced in a while. No ulterior motives, no exaggerated kindness, no outright asking her to fuck.
Suddenly your phone lights up in your lap and youâre turning your attention to the device.
âDD duties call,â is all you say as you make a move to stand up.
No, this canât be all she gets from you tonight. Not when sheâs been narrowly missing someone like you for the past four years and youâre just now coming to light.
The dormant liquid courage bubbles and Viâs gently grabbing your wrist to pull you to a stop.
âMaybe Iâll see you around?â she asks, steely eyes liquid as she stares up at you.
You eye the scar on her lip, gaze lingering there before flitting to meet hers.
âMaybe.â
Vi decides that she needs to see you again.
Youâd left her with crumbs this past Friday night and sheâd spent the better part of the weekend trying (and failing) to cross paths with you again.
âJesus, youâre down bad,â Ellie chuffs Monday morning on their walk to the campus coffee shop.
âYou donât understand,â Vi defends. âSheâs so...so...â
âSo?â
âDifferent, I dunno,â Vi sighs, fiddling with the strap of her backpack as they walk. âWe didnât even talk about much, but that was the most normal Iâve felt around someone in a while.â
Her teammate snorts.
âProbably the gayest thing Iâve heard you say,â Ellie deadpans. âShe isnât immediately trying to munch and youâre already in love. Pathetic.â
âOh, fuck off,â Vi scoffs as they approach the coffee shop, inside packed full with half-functioning college students so early in the morning. âTrust me, if you met her, youâdââ
The words die in her throat because halle-fucking-lujah, the universe or god, or whatever has answered her every prayer this past weekend as she clocks you a few paces ahead in line.
Ellie follows her friendâs line of vision to find exactly what sheâs staring at and she lets out a low whistle when her gaze finds your frame.
From a completely aesthetic standpoint, she can see why Viâs immediately hooked.
âHah,â she makes a noise in her throat. âOkay, so maybe it makes sense.â
Vi canât help but stare because, if it were possible, you were far prettier under the warm lighting of the cafeâs ambiance. The curls of your hair frame your face beautifully and itâs so fucking cute how focused you are on your phone.
âHate to break it to you, though. That girlâs way out of your league,â Ellie says like itâs common knowledge.
âWow, way to boost my ego,â Vi mutters drily.
âJust being realistic,â Ellie argues. âIf you bag her, sheâs easily the hottest girl youâve been with.â
And Vi canât really contest that, not when the proofâs in the fucking pudding.
Her bodyâs moving of its own accord and before she can register her own actions, sheâs mumbling quiet sâcuse meâs under her breath as she squeezes between patrons to close a bruised hand over your shoulder.
You nearly jump out of your skin, fumbling with your phone as an earbud falls out.
âShit, sorry, sorry. I didnât mean to scare you,â Vi says quickly.
Your gaze snaps to her, brows furrowing almost imperceptibly before your expression settles.
âViolet,â you acknowledge.
And she realizes that she didnât really have a game plan coming up to you so abruptly. Had been so focused on actually just seeing you again, that she hadnât thought through the rest of it.
The way you stare up at her is thoroughly disarming because she doesnât have the shield of night or alcoholic courage to carry her through it.
âCan I help you?â you ask, but not unkindly.
âOh, uh, I...â She chances a glance over her shoulder to find that Ellie is watching her from a few customers away, eyebrow cocked and smirk testing. She word vomits before she can think of a coherent thought. âYou mentioned tutoring...the last time we talked.â
You donât even bat an eye.
âI did.â
âYouâre also auditing Medardaâs biometry class.â
âI am.â
âIâm...Iâm not really doing too hot in Medardaâs right now,â Vi says, brain nearly short-circuiting and freezing up because, lie! Sheâs doing phenomenally in Medardaâs session and, truthfully, sheâs just downright scared to ask you to hang out.
Especially when you look up at her like that.
You shift and sheâs swallowing down around nothing.
âHmm, canât have that, can we?â you hum.
Vi could melt.
âNo,â she breathes out a laugh. âCanât.â
âYou can sign up for a slot through the libraryâs website,â you say after you weigh the thought.
Viâs pausing, staring at you like a deer caught in the headlights.
âSo I can get paid?â you fill in.
âOh, right,â Vi chokes. âRight.â
You give her a soft smile before plugging your earbud back in, leaving Vi to rejoin her obviously amused friend.
âYouâre fucking joking!â
The librarian gives you and your incredulous roommate a look from the circulation desk and you return it with a sheepish smile from where youâre tucked by a wall of looming floor-to-ceiling windows.
âMaddie,â you whisper.
âYouâre telling me that The Violet asked you personally to tutor her?â Maddie asks you, leaned over the tabletop with wide eyes.
âYeah, cornered me at Brew House this morning and asked me to tutor her in Medardaâs class.â
âJust that?â she asks. âNothing else?â
You look around in disbelief.
âUh, yeah?â you scoff. âWhat else would she want?â
âWhat else would sheâ are you serious?â Maddie leans back in her seat, arms crossing over her chest as she gives you a plain look. âYou know all about Vi, youâre actually gonna play stupid?â
âOh, come on.â You roll your eyes. âYouâve seen the girls Violetâs fucked, right? Kiramann? The blonde from the tennis team? Sheâs got a type and you know it.â
Itâs Maddieâs turn to roll her eyes and you see the exasperated groan sheâs staving off.
âNone of that self-deprecating bullshitââ
âItâs not self-deprecating!â you argue. âNot everyone wants to fuck Violet, Maddie. Put me in the number one spot.â
âYeah, okay.â
âDonât start.â
âAll Iâm saying is that anyone with eyes can see that Viâs hot as fuck. That being said, youâre also hot as fuck. Not only that, but rumor has it, she gives the most toe-curlingââ
Youâre rolling your eyes again, gaze fluttering out the window momentarily only to find that, speak of the devil, Violetâs approaching the library with a skip in her step.
Maddie stops her spiel to trace your gaze and nearly falls out of her seat when she finds the object of your conversation is advancing, fast.
âNo fucking way,â you whisper to yourself, pulling up your tutoring log on your tablet to find that, yup, Violet has most-definitely taken your advice and signed up for a tutoring slot.
If the time reads correctly, youâve got three minutes before sheâs due to be taking Maddieâs seat.
Your friend is grinning at you mischievously, stuffing her backpack quickly to vacate the space across from you.
âUn-fucking-believable,â you scoff, slumping back in your seat.
âTell me how it goes,â she giggles, slinging her bag over her shoulder as she stands.
âMaddie,â you warn.
âLove you, see you at home!â
Violetâs strolling into the library just as Maddie leaves through the other doors and try as you might make yourself small in the open air near the research center, her gaze falls on you as soon as she enters.
âHey,â she breathes once breaches your vicinity.
âHi.â
A moment lapses before youâre nodding towards the seat before you.
âWe can get started whenever youâre ready.â
Right. Right! Viâs mentally cringing, pulling the chair out with a squeak and dropping onto the worn cushion.
Her eyes are locked, watching as you pull the biometry textbook from your little messenger bag.
âAny particular areas youâre struggling in?â you ask, flipping to a clean sheet of paper in your notepad and clicking open your pen.
Vi combs her brain, tries to think of anything sheâs not really grasping in Medardaâs class, but sheâs been acing all the exams with flying colors, so she spits out the first thing that comes to mind.
âLogistic regression, probably,â she answers.
âIn relation to...?â You tilt your head and Viâs breath is hitching.
âThe Confusion Matrix,â she answers, even though she knows all about it.
Itâs only when you start breaking it down from the bare bones that she realizes that she could listen to you talk for-probably-ever.
You obviously have a great understanding of the subject if the way you deconstruct the relationship between sensitivity and specificity (or whatever the fuck) is anything to go by, and she doesnât realize that she hasnât even blinked until youâre glancing up at her.
âAm I making any sense?â you ask softly, taking in the almost confused look on Violetâs face.
âHuh?â
Vi snaps out of it, cheeks coloring pink when she notes the way you straighten in your seat.
âAm I going too fast?â
âNo, no!â Vi practically shouts before chancing an embarrassed gaze around the library to find a few wandering eyes. She clears her throat and tries to relax. âNo, youâre doing great. I get it.â
You donât seem convinced, but the faster you get through the material, the faster Violet can leave and you can finally catch your breath.
Because maybe Maddieâs a little right. That while you know, one hundred percent, without-a-doubt, that you and Violet are cut from two different cloths and that you ultimately wonât mesh, thereâs still a sliver of want that settles somewhere confined in the pit of your gut.
You donât know how long you continue before you notice that sun has begun to set in the horizon, but Viâs effort is unwavering. Sheâs probably on her tenth practice problem by now and so far, sheâs only flubbed once.
You decide to fold your cards first.
âO-kay,â you say, sucking in a sharp breath as you roll your shoulders and squeeze your hands shut so tight your knuckles crack. âThis is a good stopping point, donât you think?â
No, Vi could keep going forever if it meant hearing you talk all night, but the little G-shock wristwatch winks the time and she realizes that the two of you have been going at it for going on two hours and youâre probably exhausted.
âYeah, sorry, I didnât mean to keep you so long,â Vi says sheepishly. âThanks a lot for your help, I...â
You look up from where youâre shuffling your papers together, pausing when she hesitates.
âI really appreciate you. I know you probably help dozens of people every week andââ
She stops talking when she sees you crack what seems to be the first genuine smile she could get out of you since Friday.
âItâs my job, Violet,â you tell her. âIâm happy to help.â
And sheâd done well enough during the tutoring session, had a successful run with the practice problems. You were confident it was just a one and done. Perhaps served as a review for the upcoming exam Medarda had posted on the class page.
But then you see her name in the final time slot on Thursday, donât really think much of it until youâre tabbing to next weekâs schedule for shits and giggles. Tuesday and Thursday are booked through again, her name highlighted in yellow.
You minimize the calendar and pull up the aggregate schedule only to find that every 4 oâclock slot every Tuesday and Thursdayâs been booked until the end of the semester.
You refresh for good measure.
âOh, youâre so shitting me.â
You donât know what kind of joke this is, if Violet thinks that this is funny, but youâre not amused.
Especially when youâre stalking all the way to the athletic hall, ignoring the wolfish stares from shameless student athletes to whip into the womenâs hockey teamâs reserved conditioning space.
You find her benching near the center of the room, Abigail Anderson spotting her while the rest of the team engages in various workouts and exercises.
A hush ripples over the weight room as you approach the hockey star, standing at the end of the bench where her knees are bent. One of Abigail Andersonâs eyebrows quirk up as you stand there with your hands on your hips and you hope the chill that runs down your spine as she checks you out doesnât visibly vibrate your body.
When the barbell nearly crushes Viâs chest on her last rep, Abbyâs quick to help her re-rack and takes the biggest step back as Vi sits up.
Her expression falls and her face pales when she locks eyes with you, your features severe and gaze stony.
âOh, hey,â she squeaks.
Truthfully, she hadnât really pinned you as the type to be confrontational. Thought sheâd have enough time to build a strong enough story as to why she booked out all of your tutoring sessions when in actuality she panicked when Ellie started grilling the fuck out of her about being a fucking pussy and begging her to just ask you out.
âYou have some explaining to do, Violet.â
And she should definitely be embarrassed, not at all turned on, but she canât help it as she gulps. Because when you stand before her like this, she can easily admit that sheâd die for a private version of the view.
The silence in the weight room is palpable and you want to back down, but if this is some running joke and Viâs going to make a show of humiliating you in front of her teammates, then youâd give her a show.
âViolet.â
Someone in the back snickers, another whistles, and Viâs cheeks go red.
Sheâs standing, sweaty hands closing around your biceps as she spins you around and quickly guides you out of the conditioning room and out of her teammatesâ line of ogling sight.
âVââ
âIâm sorry,â Violet splutters. âIâm just not really confident in Medardaâs class right now and I donât trust myself to study alone, plus youâre a really good tutor andââ
âYou do realize that those tutoring sessions are added to your tuition, right?â you ask incredulously. âItâs fifteen dollars an hour.â
Viâs smile is crooked.
âThatâs what my scholarshipâs for,â she grins.
âDonât you think thatâs a bit excessive?â you try again. âI feel that before an exam for a little refresh is fair, but this would be like relearning the material after every class, all over again.â
âIf itâs taught by you, Iâll take it,â Vi says quickly, and you pause because what does she mean by that?
You donât really have much rebuttal left even though youâd marched up here with a fire under your ass. Viâs looking down at you with a softened edge in her gaze and sheâs wearing nothing but a pair of black sweatpants and sweat-soaked grey tank that reveals swathes of ink that curls up her arms and disappears under the fabric of her shirt.
She breathes out a small laugh when she notices the way your eyes dance.
âAnymore concerns, cupcake?â
Your gaze snaps to hers and her grin widens when she sees you fidget, little pet name obviously eliciting a semblance of a reaction from you.
âN-No,â you stammer.
âGreat, see you tomorrow?â
You swallow.
âOkay,â you agree. âSee you tomorrow.â
Violet pops into the library at four on the dot.
Her hairâs wet from an obvious shower and you smell her, warm like honey and cedar as she takes the seat across from you.
âAfternoon, cupcake,â she greets, slinging her backpack into the seat next to her.
You give her a warning look, but she just flashes you a toothy smile and nods towards the opened biometry textbook before you.
âWhatâs the lesson today, Teach?â
And this feels an awful lot like mocking, but you canât be sure, not when Viâs been somewhat respectful, sweet even.
âWhat do you know about the the sigmoid function?â you probe.
âJack shit,â she laughs.
And maybe youâd find it endearing if the entirety of the situation wasnât still absolutely mindfucking you at moment.
âCan I ask you something, Violet?â you ask, leaning back in your seat as you cross your arms to level her with as an intimidating look as you can.
âSure, anything.â
âAre you messing with me?â you ask. âIs this some joke you and your friends are playing? Because I canât really think of an outcome that would be funny.â
And youâd like to say that the look of horror on Violetâs face is consolation enough, but you know how being loved and being popular can make people act sometimes.
Vi contemplates telling you the truth, that sheâs too chickenshit to ask you out, that getting close to you in any other way scares the fuck out of her. That maybe getting you to tutor her will segue into some form of friendship thatâll allow her to ease her way in. And maybe sheâs going about it the hard way, but maybe Vi also likes a challenge.
âNo jokes, just bad at statistics,â she says weakly.
Youâre silent for way longer than comfort allows before you turn your attention to the textbook and Viâs letting out a breath she doesnât realize sheâs holding.
âFine,â you give in. âLetâs talk about sigmoid function and practice some applications...â
Viâs happy to listen, goes through your preselected practice problems with ease (and maybe fucks up a value or two here and there to really sell her need for you). But the sunâs going down again, and itâs nearing six when Vi folds her hand this time around.
It comes in the form of her stomach grumbling in the emptying library and she looks up at you in embarrassment as you crack the first smile of the evening.
âHungry?â you ask.
âStarving,â she replies dramatically, leaning so far back in her seat, her knees bump yours under the table.
Your toes curl at the contact, heart skipping when she doesnât make a move to reposition herself.
âHave you eaten yet?â she asks, eyes looking everywhere but yours.
âNot since breakfast,â you admit.
âYou like pizza?â
âOnly the good kind,â you challenge.
âBeautiful,â Vi hums, shuffling her papers into her textbook and chucking it back into her bookbag. âI know the best place.â
Valentinoâs is a hole-in-the-wall right outside of campus, a short walk from the library that Violet leverages as a way to get to know you outside of being lectured about statistical curves and correlation.
âDid you grow up around here?â Vi asks once the waiter sets two glasses of water down between the two of you.
You shake your head.
âNo, grew up on the east coast and decided I needed a break from my life there,â you admit easily.
Itâs almost as if the facade of professionalism fades away, melting to reveal you.
Viâs desperate for more.
âAs in?â
You look at her for a moment, wonder if you should divulge because youâre not really sure if Vi would get it, but she watches you like sheâs hanging onto every single word you say, so youâre spilling.
âMy dad died when I was little, left me and three other siblings with my Mom,â you offer. âAnd I love my siblings. Love my mom. Sheâs been a great parent, better than great actually, but most of our family disowned me when I came out and it was easier to run away than to deal with it.â
Violetâs expression falls, a furrow settling deep between her brows.
âWow, Iâm, uh, Iâm really sorry to hear that,â she says, and she sounds sincere. A long moment lapses before sheâs adding, âfor what itâs worth, I think thatâs very brave of you.â
And you seem a little surprised at the sentiment.
âThanks.â You smile. âThatâs sweet of you to say.â
Vi could turn to goo in this dimly lit booth, stained-glass wall sconce casting a warm glow over your pretty face.
âYouââ She sniffs, changes the subject because she doesnât know if she can do this on an empty stomach. âYou like pineapple on your pizza?â
âOh yeah,â you confirm proudly. âItâs a hill Iâll die on, Iâm not sorry.â
âGod, marry me now.â
She doesnât realize she says it out loud until youâre bursting into a fit of laughter on your side of the booth.
âSo this is something we can agree on?â you ask, head tilting in the way that makes Vi want to grab your face and taste you.
âOh yeah,â she parrots instead. âOne hundred percent.â
Valentinoâs becomes routine just as much as Vi seeing you at four every Tuesday and Thursday becomes routine. Itâs always after the Thursday session (because they have a three dollar slice from 6 to close) that you and Vi cram yourselves in the same booth near the kitchen and giggle over half a Hawaiian pizza.
â...And my little sister blew up her science project in the fourth gradeââ
You choke on your bite, eyes wide as Violet recalls Powderâs little mishap that sent the entire gymnasium evacuating despite the tiniest fire.
âNow sheâs about graduate and start school for chemical engineering,â she says, obviously proud.
âShe seems like a smart girl,â you observe, if the countless stories Violet shares with you is anything to go by.
You figure being related to someone as great as the new friend youâve made also speaks for itself.
âThe smartest,â she agrees. âIâm proud of her.â
âIâm sure sheâs proud of you too,â you assure her. âYouâre a good big sister.â
And itâs in these moments that Vi realizes that sheâs in far, far deeper than she initially gave stock. Because these past few weeks, she realizes that thereâs a lot more to your big brain and your pretty face. Youâre an attentive listener, way funnier than she could have anticipated, and just a lot more laid back than you let on.
That much she finds out after the two of you graduate from emailing with silly sign-offs to exchanging phone numbers and texting. It starts off rather irregular, a coffee order here and there, maybe a TikTok that Vi swears is funny, you just have to watch it all the way through! But then she starts texting you when sheâs bored, when sheâs in class, before practice, after. Even pops the question thatâs been niggling at her since she met you: on a scale from 1 - 10 how down are you to smoke?
Like cigarettes?
no, weed, dummy.
Oh. Hmm. 7. 10 if Iâm drunk.
She could not wipe the smile from her face even if she tried.
And then she gets the invite.
Ellie swears itâs her in.
âJesus Christ if you even consider me a friend, youâll bang,â Ellie calls from the couch.
âItâs just tutoring,â Vi argues.
âYeah, at her place,â she scoffs. âAt least test the waters, maybe cop a feel.â
âYouâre a pig,â Vi snorts, making sure her laptop and all of the worksheets Medardaâs assigned over the course of the week is in her backpack.
âYouâve been wet dreaming over this girl for months.â
âFuck all the way off.â Viâs face warms because her best friend isnât necessarily wrong.
Youâre too hot for your own good, but you donât even know it and Vi thinks she could die sometimes. Especially when you wear your favorite pair of jeans, the ones that hug the swell of your ass just right. Or swipe on that shimmery lipgloss she swears makes your mouth look edible.
If you were willing, Vi would be all over you, but thinking about taking advantage of the fact that you trust her enough to invite her into your space feels a little grimy.
âWhatever, bang, donât bang,â Ellie says nonchalantly. âBlueball yourself for all I care.â
Vi rolls her eyes, slings her bag over her shoulder before sliding on her shoes and leaving her friend on the couch with a resounding click.
You live off-campus, maybe a ten minute drive, in a cozy little complex near the suburbs. Your roommate, Maddie, a chipper blonde with a bob, is all too eager to leave when Vi arrives.
âHi, sorry we couldnât meet anywhere else,â you apologize as you let her into your space. âEven if the library wasnât closed, the vet said I have to monitor Pip for the next 48 hours.â
Vi raises a brow.
âMy cat,â you clarify.
âOh.â Vi doesnât know why she suddenly feels like sheâs intruding as she hesitantly toes off her shoes and follows you down the hall.
But she does take the opportunity to take you in in all your glory; all cozy and cuddly in an oversized sweatshirt, plaid pajama shorts and mismatched egg socks.
Cute. So fucking cute.
You spare her a glance over your shoulder and sheâs clearing her throat.
âWe donât have to have a session tonight," she says, stopping at the threshold of the living room. âI wouldâve understood if you had to cancel.â
You shake your head, give her a soft smile that has her knees feel like jelly.
âSâokay,â you assure her. âA promise is a promise.â
And you do start off studying, shoulder to shoulder in front of your coffee table, but then Pip crawls from his little hiding spot under the TV console to curiously nose along Viâs feet and sheâs a goner.
âHeâs so sweet,â she practically wails as he paws at her thigh and nudges against her arm so that he can climb into her lap.
You warm at the sight, canât help but snap a picture, much to Violetâs dismay.
âStop,â she laughs. âThat picture canât see the light of day.â
âWhy?â you whine, making a show of climbing onto your wooden coffee table to get a funny top down photo of the hockey star with your cat. âYou and Pip look so cute together.â
She feigns a scowl even though her shoulders shake with laughter.
âI have a bad boy image to uphold, sweetheart.â
You snort, reach into her lap to scratch behind Pipâs ear, and her heart melts, body warm from her ears to her toes.
âIs he sick?â she asks cautiously, petting him softly.
âJust a little,â you say. âSomething some rest and medicine wonât fix.â
Itâs how the two of you end up on the couch, study materials long forgotten as Animal Planet plays in the background. Pipâs moved to lounge atop the covers draped over your lap and youâre blowing your nose into a tissue as an especially sad segment about baby animals being rejected by their mothers finishes.
Vi knows she shouldnât laugh, but youâre too fucking cute and she canât help but coo at you.
âYou canât tell anyone about this,â you hiccup.
âWhat, that youâre a big soft baby?â she teases.
âVi,â you whimper.
And something in her brain tickles because she canât recall a time youâd ever called her by her nickname, only ever referred to her as Violet and nothing else.
She resists a smile.
âOkay, okay,â she gives in. âLets change the subject.â
You make a noise of agreement as you cuddle your sleepy Pip.
âI actually wanted to ask you something,â she says, arm slung over the back of the couch, fingers a hairsbreadth from your figure.
Test the waters, cop a feel.
Viâs not particularly into the idea, but the opportunityâs right there in the way wisps of your hair falls from its hold. Her fingers move of their own device, tucking the strands behind your ear.
She feels you still for the slightest, most imperceptible of moments, but then youâre relaxing, letting her fingers brush from your ear down to your shoulder, then back to where it rests on the back of the couch.
âYou doing anything on Saturday?â she asks, really hopes youâll say no.
âNot that I know of,â you say without second thought.
Not that you really need to. Your tight circle of friends are all alike, tethered to their hobbies and their homes.
âI have a game on Saturday,â Vi starts, fiddling with a little hole in the cushion. âIf you wanted to come.â
You donât agree or disagree immediately, and Viâs scrambling to soothe over any potential discomfort.
âYou donât have to if you donât wanna, of course,â she says quickly. âI justâ I thought you might be interested in going and Iâd really like to see you there andââ
A small little laugh puffs from your lips.
âOf course Iâll go,â you agree easily.
Vi deflates in relief.
âGreat,â she sighs. âAwesome.â
Vi doesnât know why she invites you. More so, she doesnât know why she tells her teammates that sheâs invited you because now theyâre whooping and hollering in the locker room, towel-whipping her and sing-songing that their star playerâs gonna get laid.
Doesnât know why she invites you because as soon as she glides on the ice, sheâs searching the stands high and low for your familiar figure. When she clocks you nestled in the middle with your roommate and another friend she vaguely recognizes, her heartâs soaring and her stomachâs twisting in knots.
Viâs never nervous, but somehow you bring out the worst of it.
It only takes a few moments, though. The blare of the horn snaps her back into her zone and she leaves all the noise off-rink. In this moment, all she knows is cutting ice, dodging the other teamâs most aggressive players and sinking shot after shot.
Itâs nearing the end of the second period when she finally glances at the score.
5â4.
The opposing teamâs giving them a run for their money and this is probably one of the tightest matches theyâve played all season. She takes a moment to find you in the stands again, and youâre right where she left you, eyes already glued to her as you hover over the edge of your seat.
She hadnât realized it before, but youâve got her number painted on her face and another surge of warmth layers over the exertion.
You give her a thumbs up and she feels like lightning.
They reset and sheâs off, like a streak of light in the night sky, sheâs shuffling the puck towards the goal.
Then you see the navy uniform barreling towards her, voice caught in your throat as Vi gives the puck one last shot before that damned Jersey Number Six shoves her so hard, sheâs flinging into the rinkâs wall.
The horn chugs, signaling the end of the second period and the stands erupt in a ceremonious cheer as the playback reveals that Vi had sunk the puck before time.
âFuck yeah!â you cry out, shooting to your feet to clap your hands.
Vi ignores the instigating chants to fight, only really pays attention to your little dance of excitement as she shakes off the other player and rejoins her team for intermission.
âFuck, Vi, you got it bad, huh?â Abigail Andersonâs spearheading the teasing once they all return to the locker room at the end of the game.
Viâs body heats at the thought, isnât really in the business of denying it anymore, because, you know what? Yeah. Viâs got it so fucking bad for you, she doesnât even know what to do with herself. Youâre her first thought, her final prayer, and everything in between.
So all she does he shrug, canât help the grin that splits her lips as she rubs her towel through her sweat-damp hair.
Sheâs the first one out of the locker room, dressed in some sweats and a pullover, towel slung around her neck as she steps into the tunnel. Your contactâs pulled up, and sheâs ready to fire off a text asking where you want her to meet you, but she stops short to see you already leaned outside of the change roomâs doors.
âHey, cupcake,â she murmurs, smiling hard when she finds the smudged number 5 still chalked on your face.
âHi, Violet,â you return shyly, hands clasped behind your back.
She hears the telltale whoosh of the locker room doors, the chattering of her teammates as they poke their heads out into the hall to be nosy, but sheâs guiding you along, throwing a wink over her shoulder as the two of you fall into step.
âThank you for coming,â Vi says after a moment. âYou being here really meant a lot to me.â
You donât know if Viâs always been this sentimental, but just never given the opportunity to showcase it, or if sheâs just buttering you up, but you canât help but beam at her with pearly teeth and dimpled cheeks.
âGod, Violet, you were so good!â you say excitedly, a little skip in your step. âYou were in the rink, skating circles around them, like this, and like this.â
She bursts into laughter as you start speeding down the tunnel, dodging garbage bins and jumping up into the air to click your heels.
Something falls out of your little fannypack when you land, and Viâs crouching down to pick up the tulle baggie to find a little beaded bracelet with a gold clasp that reads puck off.
âWhatâs this?â Vi asks, and you stop your shenanigans to turn your attention to her.
When your expression falters and youâre running back to her at full speed, sheâs holding the baggie up just a little too out of reach for you, grin smug.
âIs this for me, sweetheart?â she asks presumptuously, even though her heartâs thrumming hard in her ribcage.
Youâre on your tiptoes, chest pressed against hers, and god, please! is all Vi can think when your head tilts up, a little defeated knit between your eyebrows.
She milks the fuck out of whatever this is, arm banding around your waist as she returns the baggie to you.
âMaybe,â you whisper finally.
âMaybe what?â Vi teases.
âMaybe itâs for you,â you respond, free hand coming to rest on her chest.
âAnd what do I have to do to get it?â she asks, voice low.
It makes your body jolt hard as a shiver slinks down your spine because there she is, the insufferable flirt who knows exactly what to say to have your brain turn to mush.
You seem like youâre contemplating for a moment and Viâs breath is hitching in her throat, wondering if youâre willing to play this cat and mouse game with her.
You smile, something glinting in your warm eyes.
âPuck off.â
Your giggle is maniacal as you slip away, leaving her temporarily stunned before she chases you down the tunnel. And she should expect your speed, especially because youâve got legs, but it takes her a moment to catch up with you when her practice bagâs thumping on her back like that. Her calloused fingers are closing around the flesh of your hips in no time and sheâs pulling you back into her arms.
âCough it up, sweetheart,â she huffs.
You whine.
âIt was supposed to be a surprise,â you counter.
âGimme, gimme, gimme.â
And you give in because Violetâs made you weak. Sheâs holding out her wrist as you free the multi-colored bracelet.
You barely clasp the closure in the ring before Violetâs stumbling into you, a big burly girl from the other team shoulder checking the fuck out of her.
âNice job standing in the middle of the walk way,â she bites.
Violet only snorts a laugh.
âWhatever, good game,â she calls.
Whoever she is, stops, levels Vi with a deadly look before her gaze flits to the bracelet youâve just fixed around her wrist to you who stands frozen into place as the tension crackles between them.
âCute,â she observes and your skin prickles. âLet me take her for a spin?â
âViolet,â you warn when her shoulders square and she takes a step forward.
She looks torn between walking away and beating the shit out of whoever this instigator is, but one of her teammates is shoving her along.
âLeave it.â
Whatever that was shatters the moment between the two of you and Viâs taking in a deep breath as Abby trails behind the two of you.
The girl whistles for good measure and you throw a dirty look over your shoulder.
She winks.
Youâve still yet to find out who hosts these parties, but this time around gives you a weird sense of deja vu as you climb the steps with Maddie in tow.
You and Vi had parted ways at the rink, not before extending you an invite to the celebration later in the evening.
You should come, I can pick you up.
But per usual, DD duties call, and youâd smiled up at her despite the lingering pressure from the prior confrontation and promised her that yes, youâd absolutely be there.
Maddie squeals from the step below as you climb the front porch, breaths coming out in puffs of steam.
âYou look so hot,â she says excitedly.
You giggle nervously, sure hope you do because youâre freezing your ass off!
âYeah?â
Maddie gives you an incredulous look, eyelids powdered with glitter and gaze lined charcoal. Sheâs looking extra cute tonight too and you know that the two of you could fall into an endless cycle of teasing because a certain someoneâs probably inside tonight.
âIf she doesnât fuck you before the night ends, I will,â Maddie teases, and youâre warming unceremoniously at the thought.
Because maybe youâve been thinking about it a lot more recently despite only going into this trying to get through these tutoring sessions and dipping. Especially as of late now that Viâs made it a habit to FaceTime you after practice, on your walk to the library, dripping sweat and chest heaving.
Youâd always seen the appeal, but now you feel it.
You smooth down your asymmetrical skirt and Maddie steps up to adjust your tits in your lowcut lace blouse just as the door swings open to reveal none other than Violet.
âOhââ Her voice catches as she takes you in.
Maddie gives your ass a little swat and Viâs gaze is following the movement as your roommate pushes past her to slip inside.
âI wasâ I was just about to step out. To, uh, to call you,â she stammers.
You breath out a little laugh.
âHere I am.â
âYeah,â she agrees. âHere you are.â
Jesus, fuck Vi could burst into flames right now. Your boots hug your thighs and Violetâs not gonna lie, she really wishes it were her head squeezed betweenâ
âYou look...â Hot, so fucking edible, downright fuckâ â...really nice.â
You smile, but you canât help the way your teeth chatters.
âFuck, shit, youâre probably cold,â she curses, warm hands closing around your shoulders to pull you inside. âWhy didnât you wear a jacket? Youâre gonna get sick.â
I wanted you to want me.
âGuess I just forgot,â you say quietly.
She looks like she wants to scold you, but instead, sheâs pulling down her coat, a big black work jacket, hanging from the banister of the stairs around your shoulders and youâre relishing the residual warmth that lingers there and her familiar scent.
âCan I get you a cider?â she asks. âItâs still warm.â
It hits you as her fingers curl through yours, that Viâs truly nothing like what you initially thought. Sheâs sweet, and sheâs respectful, and sheâs everything you could ever hope for.
You freeze at the thought, and Viâs glancing at you when sheâs tugged to a stop.
âYou okay?â she hums.
Your eyes search her face, gliding over the scar on her lip and the one slit through her eyebrow. The gold hoop pierced through her nose glints under the lowlight and her thick lashes flutter as she looks down at you.
You give her a smile that doesnât quite reach your eyes because wow, youâre in deep.
âIâm okay,â you assure her, give her fingers a squeeze for good measure.
When she finally secures you a mug of steaming cider, sheâs guiding you to her group of friends that occupy the living room.
You only recognize Ellie, her best friend and her roommate, and Abby, the captain. Everyone else is a jumbled mix of names and faces and you stick close to Vi as she settles into the left corner of the couch.
You make a move to sit on the armrest, legs crossed and hands folded around your mug, but Viâs spreading her legs and pulling you into her lap before you can effectively protest.
Her warmth immediately engulfs you and it takes every ounce of self control not to curl up into a ball in front of all her friends and classmates.
As they recap the game and catch up with each other, you remain hushed, eyes flitting from person to person as they speak. Toes curling whenever Violetâs voice vibrates in her chest as she talks big about sports and the hot teams this season.
Youâre caught off caught when Ellieâs directing a question towards you and you barely register.
âWhat do you like to do?â she asks you.
All eyes audibly shift to where youâre cozied up in Viâs lap, cider empty and abandoned on the side table.
âUh.â
Your words are lodged in your throat because youâre so used to talking Viâs ear off about your interests (namely, Animal Planet and your son Pip), showing her your little craft projects you like to do in front of the television on a weekend evening (youâd taken a break from the scarf / hat combo you were knitting to finish the bracelet you designed for Vi), and yapping about some obscure film youâd watched while finishing said projects.
But here, now, you donât know what to say. Not when this isnât your typical crowd and you donât know what to expect from her friends.
Vi must feel your hesitation because her digits are slipping into her jacket, fingertips ghosting the small of your back as she presses a palm against your spine to smooth the tension there.
Itâs okay, is a silent insinuation.
You give her a look from the corner of your eye before you turn your attention back to Ellie.
âI donât do much,â you offer honestly. âJust starting my old cat lady duties early, I suppose.â
Ellie laughs benevolently.
âYou have a cat?â
âYes, his nameâs Pip, and heâs basically my kid.â
âCute,â Ellie coos. âYou got any pictures?â
And you seem to light up, spare Vi one more glance as you dig in her coat pocket to produce your cellphone, charms jangling as you power it back on to show Ellie the lockscreen.
âI contemplated naming him Toothless fromââ
ââHow To Train Your Dragon!â Abby fills in from across the couch. âThatâs such a good ass movie.â
It warms Vi to the bone, seeing you and her friends nerd out. Seeing them put in the effort because they know she likes you and seeing you reciprocate because, well, youâre you, and you just need a little warming up.
She doesnât know how long you and her friends chat for until youâre shifting a little and turning your attention back to her.
âCan you show me the bathroom, please?â
Her gaze flits to her circle, and theyâre smirking, obviously under the impression that this must be some sort of code the two of you concocted.
She ignores them, and most importantly she ignores the way her pulse jumps when you stand from your seat and perch between her legs, offering both of your neatly manicured hands to her.
This is getting fucking ridiculous.
The bathroom is tucked under the stairs near the front of the house and she stands post outside the door as you finish up.
Itâs only when youâre poking your head outside the door sheepishly that she stands up straight.
âCan you help me with my zipper?â you ask timidly.
She puffs a laugh, slips in through the space you crack for her to find you holding the two sides of your skirt together.
And she knows she shouldnât look, but the space allows her to see the pink lace of your panties. Sheâs shoving her tongue in her cheek, focusing on lining up the seams and pulling up your zipper as you hold the fabric taut.
âThanks,â you whisper, looking up to see that Viâs impossibly close to you in this cramped little powder room.
âAnytime, sweetheart,â she croaks, leaning against the counter as you wash your hands.
She thumbs the hem of your skirt absently.
âI like this,â she admits, gaze trailing up to meet yours. âYou look pretty.â
Your ears burn, unable to meet the smolder of her steely eyes. Youâd probably find that her pupils are blown wide if you did. Instead, youâre watching her mouth, lips stained cherry and tongue coming out to wet the dry patch.
You hold your breath as you reach across her for the hand towel, but her hands find your hips, teetering into dangerous territory as she moves almost close enough to slip her hands under your skirt.
âYouâre not gonna say thank you?â she asks, watching you through hooded eyes.
A nervous giggle bubbles.
âThanks, Violet,â you murmur.
ââCourse,â she agrees easily. âYou gonna wear it again?â
You bite.
âIf you ask nicely.â
She licks her lips again, body flexed as you allow her to press you closer. One of your hands splays on the counter behind her, the other brushing over the blooming bruise on her jaw.
âCan I?â she husks.
You donât need to ask for clarification, not when her nose is nudging yours and your breaths are mingling.
âYeah,â you sigh. âPlââ
The door rattles with the ferocity of whoeverâs knocking on the other side.
âHurry up in there, I gotta piss!â
To your dismay, the two of you donât talk about Saturday night. And thingsâs arenât particularly bad, but somethingâs definitely shifted and itâs driving you nuts.
Viâs on the ice practicing the following morning and after classes on Monday, so you wait for your session with bated breath on Tuesday. You try extra hard despite every voice of reason telling you that youâre reading into it too much.
Vi smiles at you easily as she drops into the seat across from you, pulling out her biometry textbook without so much as a peep about the fact that the two of you almost kissed in whoever the fuckâs bathroom that was over the weekend.
Youâre staring, hard.
Because that familiar feelingâs coming back. The seedling of doubt that had rooted in the beginning about Viâs intentions with you. Sheâd done a good job of weeding it out over the weeks, of dismantling whatever image youâd built of her in your head, but it plants itself again.
Sheâs squeezing your hand across the table and your gaze flits down to her rough fingers. Thatâs when you notice it, the bracelet, still fastened where you clasped it on game night.
You relax a fraction.
âEverything okay?â
You smile, something small.
âYeah, good,â you assure her.
The rest of your tutoring session is uneventful, goes off without a hitch. And youâre shameless in admitting that you hate to see her go as she walks you to your car in the student lot near the library.
Youâre grasping at straws, clearing your throat before she closes your door for you.
âUh,â you squeak. âDo you want to come over?â
Viâs pausing, hand still on the edge of your door as her lips twitch.
âLike right now?â
You nod because youâve already pulled the trigger.
âLike right now,â you confirm.
She checks her wristwatch, sighs heavily because fuck yes, sheâd love to come over right now, but Anderson and Williams are expecting her for a strategy meeting with the coach andâ
âSorry,â you say quickly. âYou donât have to, I know we only reallyââ
She pinches your cheek before tucking some of your hair behind your ear.
âI canât tonight, sweetheart, Iâm sorry,â she says. âBut tell you what, if youâre willing to free up your Friday night, Iâd really like to plan something.â
Your heartbeat skips.
âAll yours,â you say without missing a beat.
Viâs grinning wide.
âPerfect, drive safe,â she bids. âSee you tomorrow.â
And you donât know why youâre so fucking high strung, not when Vi hasnât done anything to make you doubt that this isnât all in your head, but it only gets worse as the days go by.
It doesnât come to a head until Thursday, when your tutoring slots are miraculously empty until Viâs and you receive an email from Medarda to meet in her office after her string of lectures.
âAfternoon,â the older woman greets, smiling warmly at you as she lets you into her office. âJust wanted to check in with your audit and request any feedback you have.â
You think for a moment before shaking your head.
âNothing in particular that I can think of,â you say easily, then add with a laugh, âfeel like Iâll be a professional by the end of the semester.â
âWhy do you say that?â Medarda chuckles as she logs into her computer.
âI have a student sitting every Tuesday and Thursday for tutoring in your class,â you reveal.
She gives you look crossed between surprise and amusement.
âReally?â
âYeah.â You giggle at the distant memory of Viâs expression in the weight room. âShe seems to be picking it up well enough, though.â
âHuh, every Tuesday and Thursday?â she asks, fingers flying over her keyboard. âI must be doing something wrong.â
âIâd hardly say that,â you say. âWhen Violet booked all my sessions, I thought it was a joke, but I think sheâs just really dedicated to doing well.â
âViolet?â Medarda repeats, hands stilling over her mouse.
âYeah, Violet, on the womenâs hockey team?â
Your professorâs eyebrows twitch.
âWhy would youâ huh. Weird,â she comments.
âI admit it was a little strange, butââ
âVioletâs a consistent top scorer on the exams,â Medarda shares. âSheâs been top of the class since the beginning of the semester.â
And itâs like the world stills as she reveals that information, fragile pieces shattering as the gears start turning in your brain and you try to put the puzzle together.
You glance at the clock, find that youâre due to meet Violet in half an hour.
âUh, if youâll excuse me,â you say politely, try to ignore the concerned expression etched on your professorâs face at your sudden departure. âIt was nice chatting with you. If I think of anything feedback-wise, Iâll be sure to email you.â
And youâre running.
Viâs in the locker room after practice, toweling off after an extra long shower because sheâs been looking a little extra forward to seeing you today, but perhaps thatâs everyday as of late.
Sheâs hooking the bracelet you gave her back on when her phone vibrates and sheâs practically diving into her locker when your text tone bleats.
sweetheart: I have to cancel your session this afternoon. Iâm sorry.
Her expression screws up.
everything ok? can i do anything for you?
sweetheart: Personal things to take care of. Iâll see you next week.
Iâll see you next week.
But what about tomorrow? Sheâd been working so fucking hard on tomorrow, on finally pulling her head far enough out of her ass to ask you to give the two of you a shot.
She sets her phone down, slumps down on the bench as she turns her wrist and takes in the smooth glass beads of the bracelet.
She sighs. Hard.
You hole up all weekend long, put your phone on do not disturb, and try your best to get whatever this is out of your system. But youâre a slave to your emotions and you canât help but check your messages every time you know Viâs free.
Itâs a single text on a Saturday night, one that surprises you because you know she has practice now that the big gameâs fast approaching.
violet <3: hey sweetheart, just checking in. i know you said you had a few personal things going on, but iâm here if you feel like you need someone <3
Youâre texting back before your better judgement can stop you.
Just been a little stressed. You wanna come over?
.
.
.
Then you add, We can smoke.
Viâs sending you three running emojis and you crack a smile at your screen before realizing that you need to shower.
You lay out some clothes beforehand, ultimately settling on last Saturdayâs skirt.
Viâs giggling as you fumble with the wrapper, rolling it with clumsy fingers because, truthfully, you donât do this often, but she shuts right up when you donât break eye contact as the tip of your tongue slides across the seam to seal the joint.
Sheâd picked you up with a Sprite and a slice to split from Valentinoâs, throat drying as you bounded down the stairs in the same fucking skirt that had her touching herself after sheâd gotten home from the party, guilty and wound tight. Now the two of you are tucked away behind some abandoned strip.
âReady?â Her voice rasps as you pop the end between your lips and she brings the lighter to ignite the end for you.
It burns as you inhale and Viâs thighs squeeze together involuntarily. Sheâd smoked with you twice before, both times on the roof of your apartment building and at a reasonable distance. But now, she knows what your body feels like, almost knows what your lips taste like.
You take a few more puffs before offering it to her and the smoke begins to plume to fill the space of her little coupe. Itâs moments like these, tucked away from prying eyes, that itâs just you and Vi.
Not Vi, the supposed womanizing hockey star, or you, the nerdy homebody tutor. Just the two of you, two souls trying to get through university and carve your paths.
âI aced Medardaâs exam this week,â Vi says softly, jay pinched between her fingers as she watches you with lowering eyes.
âOh, yeah? I wonder why,â you quip in return, face impossibly close to hers despite the console between you.
âI have a smartypants tutor that does an especially good job when sheâs motivated,â she answers.
Your cheeks flame, but you donât back down. Viâs been extra good at pushing your buttons and flirting hard as of late, and maybe youâre a little more than willing to receive and reciprocate, but the two of you have been toeing the line, yet neither of you have taken the leap.
This moment, however, feels like it could be it. Like youâre going to find out what the fuck all of this even is.
âI have to meet this tutor of yours,â you play along. âShe sounds like a miracle worker.â
âAmong other things,â Vi teases, sucking in the smoke and blowing it through her nostrils.
âLike?â
âSheâs also funny as fuck,â she hums. âA big baby when we watch Animal Planet.â
You narrow your eyes at her and Vi lets out a little laugh that makes your toes curl.
âUh-huh?â
âSheâs really fucking pretty too,â she says quietly.
âYeah?â
âYeah,â she affirms. âKind of pretty that makes you wanna do bad, bad things.â
You smile falters as a shiver rips down your spine and before you know it, Viâs putting out the joint before climbing in the cramped backseat of her car to spread her legs.
Doesnât even give you a moment to process before sheâs pulling you on top of her and allowing you to settle comfortably in her lap. Her hands run up your thighs and disappear under your skirt to grab the fat of your ass.
You breathe out a little giggle as your slender fingers come up to cup her jaw.
âThink my tutorâll be mad at me?â Vi murmurs, nose brushing yours. ââCuz I really, really wanna kiss this pretty girl in my lap right now.â
You let out a broken little sigh when her hips buck.
âMaybe sheâll forgive you,â you whisper. âI know I would.â
And thatâs all the affirmation Vi needs from you before sheâs taking the plunge and slotting her lips with yours; kissing you with so much fervor, youâd think she needs you to breathe. She tastes like mint and weed and you canât get enough.
Viâs all-consuming, her kiss a delicious mix of teeth and tongue. And, god, her hands. Rough and calloused, but gentle in the way she explores your body. It isnât until sheâs snapping the band of your thong and her fingertips ghost the seam of your sticky heat that youâre hyper-focusing.
âMmmph, Violet, Viââ Your voice cracks as she breaks from your lips to map a series of kisses from your jaw, to the juncture behind your ear, down the column of your neck. âWait.â
She stops, hands pulling from under your skirt like youâve burned her. And perhaps you have, branded nearly every part of her because she canât really think of a sound moment if youâre not there.
âSorry, sorry,â she shudders as the arousal ebbs through her tightened body. âIââ
Iâm caught up. Iâm losing it, and itâs all your fault, andâ
âViolet,â you swallow, fingers toying with the collar of her varsity sweatshirt. âI have something to say.â
Her throat bobs and her grey eyes gleam like ash in the lowlight of the backseat of her car. The windows are smoked out and itâs exceptionally warm, equal parts sexual tension and another thing Vi canât quite pinpoint.
âYeah, anything,â she assures you, hands resting on your waist instead. âYou can tell me anything.â
One of your palms settles over her chest, right where her heart is and you suck in a sharp breath.
âIâ uh, I really like you, Violet,â you admit quietly. âA lot more than I think Iâve ever liked someone in a long, long time.â
Oh.
Oh. Here it comes, the big fat rejection. The coming to your senses.
âBut?â
The look on your face is devastating and Viâs scared.
âI have to know that if I give you a chance, you wonât abuse it,â you hiccup, and wow, thatâs definitely not what she expects you to say, but fuck does it leave a sour taste in her mouth.
âAbuse it?â she repeats, face crumpling.
âViolet,â you sigh.
âAbuse what?â she husks.
âI know youââ
âDo you?â she scoffs, a wave of irritation washing over her as she looks you with disappointment. âWhat gave you the idea that I would ever even dream of taking advantage of you giving me a chance?â
âYou donât necessarily have a spotless record, Violet,â you say, voice edged. âAnd I know that Iâm not your usualââ
âNot my usual what?â The venom in Viâs tone is uncharacteristic, but this is not at all how she expected tonight to go and sheâs frustrated. âNot my usual type? You internalized all this shit that people say about me even though Iâve been trying to get you to see me for months.â
Emotion clogs your throat because a small part of you knows that Viâs right. Sheâs never given you an outright reason to doubt her interest in you, but it all just seems too good to be true.
âSue me for wanting to protect myself,â you choke, climbing out of her lap and back into the front seat. âEspecially because I know that you donât actually need help in Medardaâs class.â
And that catches Vi off guard. You see as much in the rearview mirror when she pales.
She clambers back into the driverâs seat.
âWho told you that?â she asks, not even bothering to deny the fact.
âI mentioned that I was tutoring you in passing when Medarda asked for feedback on her class,â you respond, crossing your arms over your chest. âShe asked why Iâd be doing that when youâre top of all her sections.â
Violetâs voice is stuck in her chest.
âAnd then your past hook ups parade around campus like a reminder thatâ,â you cut yourself off, obviously hurt after bottling this all up. âAnd it isnât any of my business, nor are we anything enough for me to plausibly upsetââ
âYes, I lied,â Vi admits quietly. âBut only about one thing.â
Your breath catches.
âYouâre right, I donât need help in Medardaâs class. I lied about being clueless and I signed up for tutoring even though I didnât need it,â she says.
âWhy?â
âYou know why,â Vi huffs. âFrom the moment I met you, I knew.â
Itâs a glaring insinuation that makes you crack.
âNo one ever says it out loud, but I know what everyone thinks,â you choke. âVioletâs fucking that loser?â
âYou really believe that?â
âGod, Violet, I donât know what to fucking believe,â you cry out. âMy lifeâs fucking fine and dandy and then you show up and make me fucking question everything Iââ
Vi lets out a humorless laugh, canât even look at you and it could make you sick.
âYouâre so fucking loved by everyone, even those who wonât admit it,â you croak. âAnd youâre incredible at everything you do, turn everything you touch to gold, and Iâm just...â
Viâs brows furrow.
âYouâre what?â
âIâm me,â you whisper meekly. âIâm just me and youâre you, and I just donât see what makes me so different.â
And Vi realizes that sheâd read it all wrong.
âLook at me,â she says softly, fingers tracing your jaw.
You knuckle your tears away, make a petulant noise in your throat.
âYou wanna know why I booked all your stupid tutoring sessions?â she huffs. âBecause I really fucking like you, ________. And itâs beyond wanting to fuck you even though god knows Iâd fucking die if you let me. Itâs so much more than having you physically. Because Iâll take being just friends with you if it means having you around. I donât give a shit about anything else but you.â
Itâs the most sound declaration you hear from the girl in the semester youâve known her and it makes you cry.
âYou make me feel so fucking normal and you remind me that I donât need to be anything else but me,â she breathes. âAnd I get where youâre coming from, I hear you. I just really hope you hear me too.â
âI do,â you whisper. âIâm justââ
Vi squeezes your thigh, takes your hand in hers and brings your knuckles to her lips.
âLetâs get you home, okay?â she offers gently.
Vi only has one more game before the championships and she wonât lie and say that this limbo with you has her feeling like sheâs going to be ill.
Youâd cancelled her tutoring sessions this week, told her that maybe the two of you needed to spend some time apart and that she was clearly doing a number on you. So she agrees, tries to give you space to work through whatâs weighing on you.
sweetheart: Good luck at your game tonight, Violet. Iâm rooting for you.
She really wishes youâd be there, but she knows you need the time alone.
thanks, sweetheart. i appreciate you.
âAlright Vi, we have fifteen til puck drop,â Ellie says carefully, has been front row to everything transpiring between you and her best friend.
Vi tucks her phone away in her backpack, unhooks your bracelet from around her wrist and fastens it to the handle of her bag, and grabs her stick from the rack before she lets her teammates jostle her into the tunnel.
And she wishes she could lock in, clear her head and get into the game, but all she can think about is you.
Itâs a narrow victory once the game ends, but she canât find it in herself to celebrate, especially not at the kickback afterwards because fucking Sev and her assholes are there.
âWhereâs your little dime piece?â she taunts.
âFuck off,â Vi warns, obviously not in the mood.
âShame,â she whistles. âShe looks like a fucking weirdo, but she sure does have a fat assââ
Ellieâs fist cracks so hard across her jaw.
âShe told you to fuck off,â she hisses.
Sev spits the blood in her mouth on the toe of Ellieâs shoe, fists bunching the collar of her sweater.
âKeep that fucking energy on the ice because Iâm gonna wipe the floor with your fucking pissbaby team.â
You wake up on Monday morning to a text from Vi and a handful of notifications from Instagram.
violet <3: can i see you this week?
You open Instagram.
sev.94 has requested to follow you!
sev.94 has sent you a message request!
Your brows furrow, opening the message request hesitantly. Thereâs a few DMs and a video from this Sev person.
sev.94 hey pretty, sorry to text you like this.
sev.94 just thought you should know the kind of person your little girlfriend is
sev.94 sent a video.
sev.94 i donât really do relationships, but iâd take your mind off of it if you let me.
Youâre playing the video, quality grainy and audio blasted. You donât know what youâre looking at at first, itâs dark, and thereâs so many voices. But you see skin, see the outline of a girlâs naked back, delicate and arched in pleasure.
You think this Sev personâs just fucking with you, playing some stupid joke with a shitty punchline as someoneâs hands snake around to palm the flesh of the unnamed girlâs ass, but then you see it.
The bracelet.
Vi going to lose her shit for two reasons.
(1) Because you havenât responded to her message despite your read receipts being on, and (2) she canât fucking find the bracelet youâd gifted to her.
Sheâs barging into Ellieâs room, shirtless and hair dripping.
âJesus, fuck, do you knock?â Ellie hisses, buds she was in the midst of grinding scattering across the floor.
âI canât find the bracelet she gave me,â Vi says quickly.
Ellieâs face scrunches.
âHuh?â
âThe bracelet ________ gave to me,â Vi says. âI hooked it on my backpack before practice on Saturday but itâs not there anymore.â
Ellieâs expression morphs, eyes narrowing in thought.
âMaybe you misplaced it,â Ellie offers. âRegardless, we practice tonight, Iâll help you look for it.â
Viâs chest is tight, doesnât want to admit that the stupid little bracelet means way more to her than she lets on. She only ever takes it off when sheâs on the ice, wonât risk losing it when sheâs got a target on her back and everyone plays rough.
It turns out to be futile when they enter the rink and she retraces her steps only to come up empty-handed.
This, she realizes, is the start of a very long week.
You shouldâve seen it coming, really. Donât know why you tried to psyche yourself into thinking that Vi could ever really want something with you when the worldâs her fucking oyster and she can have anything she wants.
And you want to feel bad when she texts you intermittently through the days, checking in, offering to meet you, anything. But part of you is angry, unforgiving, tired.
You couldâve gone the rest of the school year unscathed if sheâd just left you the fuck alone, but she pried and she tugged and she settled, and she made a home inside of you and you hate that you let her.
xxxx: i really miss you.
You block her number, block her social media, and even though finals are imminent, you now know that Viâs been playing you for a fool this whole time and you cancel every last one of the sessions sheâs booked.
You hope sheâd get the message, figure that youâd caught onto her little game and arenât willing to play anymore, but she doesnât, that much is clear when youâre finishing up your two thirty session and find her stalking into the library just as the student leaves your table.
âAre we going to talk like adults or are you going to keep acting likeââ
You donât entertain a response, just pack your bag and sling the strap over your shoulder because the tears are bubbling and you donât trust yourself not to break.
âSeriously?â Vi bites, hot on your heels as you throw all of your weight against the library doors and suck in the icy air.
âLeave me alone, Violet,â you warn.
âNo, fuck that,â Vi spits, hand closing around your bicep. âYou donâtâ You donât get to make me fall for you and then try to leave with no explanation.â
âFuck you,â you whisper.
âWhat?â
âFuck you, Violet,â you hiccup, yanking your arm from her grasp and putting as much distance as you can between the two of you. âI hope you and your friends got a good laugh out of it.â
Her face is screwing up and if she wasnât confused before, sheâs definitely confused now.
âListen, I canât fix something if I donât know whatâs wrong,â Vi argues. âIâm so fucking lost right now.â
You hate how believable she is. How the thought of hurting you seems so inconceivable to her. But that grainy video was clear enough.
âI hate you,â you murmur. âI hate you, I hate you, I hate you.â
Your name comes out broken, like youâve wounded her. But youâve officially folded your hand, wonât dare look her in her eyes because the both of you know itâs not true.
The championships roll in fast like a tide and neither your or Violet are ready for it.
You hear theyâre live streaming the game, itâs the most anticipated one in the season. Piltover Stallions against the Zaun City Tigers. A part of you wishes you could support them, but then youâre starkly reminded that youâre a laughingstock amongst them.
The library on a Friday night is as quiet as can be, the hum of the fluorescents background to the voices in your head that are loud. Youâre so engrossed in the study material that you donât realize someoneâs making a beeline for you until theyâre knocking on the tabletop.
Ellie Williams stands before you in all her lean glory, hands sunk in her pockets as she stares down at you.
âArenât you supposed to be playing?â Your tone is clipped, disinterested because you believed that you and Ellie could be friends once upon a time.
âCoach sat me out because I socked one of those dickhead Zaun City Tigers in the mouth last weekend.â
You humph.
âListen, we donât have much time left, so Iâm going to make this short and sweet,â she says. âWhatever happened between you and Vi is obviously personal and that typically would have nothing to do with me, but she canât get her shit together because all she can think of is you.â
âAnd thatâs my problem because...?â
âI know that Vi comes off a certain way, but sheâs my best friend, like my best friend in this entire shithole of a world, and sheâsââ
âNo offense, Ellie,â you cut her off. âBut if Vi sent you here to plead her case, I think thatâs pathetic andââ
âOkay, well maybe if you shut up for three seconds and let me get to my pointââ
You close your textbook and shove it in your backpack before standing to signal the end of the conversation.
âWhatever, I donât have time for this.â
Ellie watches you walk away, takes in a deep breath because wow, youâre a bitch when youâre mad, but she absolutely gets why Vi is whipped.
âVioletâs in love with you.â
And that statement makes you freeze. Tears cloud your vision as your fists tighten around the strap of your bag.
âIf you fuck someone else while youâre in love, I want nothing to do with it,â you bite.
Ellieâs brows shoot up.
âWhoa, what?â
âViolet fucked someone else as soon as things got tough, and if thatâs the kind of person she is in love, Iâd rather be alone,â you say stiffly.
âRespectfully, thereâs no way Viâs interested in getting pussy from anywhere else with how down bad that bitch is for you, but even if she was, I spend over seventy percent of my day with her and know that all sheâs been doing the past two weeks is moping over the fact that you handed her ass to her on a silver platter.â
âThereâs a video.â
Ellieâs brows must be mingling with her hairline right about now.
Her reaches a palm out.
Show me.
You open the DM from sev.94, watching as Ellieâs expression morphs from morbid curiosity to disbelief, to a quiet rage.
Sheâs handing your phone back to you and grabbing you by your forearm.
âSheâs fucking dead.â
When you enter the rink, the ice is tense.
Itâs the middle of the second period and the game is tied 3â3.
Your eyes comb the playing area, canât find Viâs jersey number in the mix, but finally settle on her on the bench, shoulders terse and obviously on edge.
She doesnât clock you yet, had given up on the idea of patching things up with you after your last conversation.
âViâs been missing her bracelet since practice on Saturday,â Ellieâd told you on the way there, then pulled out her phone to show you the photo sheâd taken of Vi passed out in nothing but her boxers on the couch the night of the last game, fucked up and sad. âWe went out for like an hour after the game, but that was it. Vi was too fucking in her head.â
The girl from the tunnel, the one whoâd been taunting the two of you, you piece together, has been the one behind it all, stirring the pot.
Throughout the end of the second period and all through intermission, Vi doesnât notice you, too busy trying to get off the fucking bench to survey the crowd.
Itâs only during final puck drop in the third period that their coach finally gives in, smacks the back of her helmet and tells her to make him proud that she lifts her head up.
And there, front and center of the student section is you.
Her eyes are wide, body frozen in place as she tries to figure if youâre just a figment of her imagination, but then the hornâs blaring and sheâs having to zone back in.
At this point in time, she doesnât give a fuck if they win or lose, she just needs to get to you.
âYour little bitch looks cute tonight,â Sevika comments wolfishly. âBet she tastes as good as she looks.â
Vi easily intercepts her pass, cuts between two players as she shuffles it along with practiced precision. She sends the rubber flying and the goalie narrowly misses block.
âMaybe if you played as good as you ran your mouth, youâd wipe the floor with my pissbaby team you big bitch,â Vi calls, resetting in their corner.
And perhaps youâre her good luck charm, the only thing she needed to see to get back into it, because Vi reignites. The adrenaline pumping through her veins fuels every shot, and soon the timerâs buzzing.
7â5.
The roar is deafening, but youâre all she sees in the ocean of cowbells and pompoms.
She barely inches forward before something arcs through the sky and lands before her feet.
Her bracelet.
You watch from the sidelines, the final confirmation as Vi picks up the loop and launches herself at Sevika.
The crowd cheers.
Fight, fight fight!
You donât know how many swings Vi gets in, just know that sheâs flashing you a bloody smile before she skates off the ice.
Ellie emerges from the locker room and youâre perking up.
Most, if not all, of Viâs teammates had come and gone and youâd been waiting patiently, anxiously, for her to emerge since the end of the game nearly an hour ago.
âSheâs the last one in there,â is all Ellie says before strolling off.
âWhat if...what if she doesnât want to see me?â you ask hesitantly.
Ellie chuffs a little laugh, doesnât bother turning as she calls from halfway down the hall, âFind out for yourself, sweetheart.â
Viâs pulling a tank top over her head as soon as you enter and your cheeks bloom when you catch a split-second of her tits.
She glances up at you, nose bruising and lip busted.
âHey,â she spares you, stuffing her uniform and skates into her gym bag.
âHi,â you squeak.
A pregnant pause as you take her in, hesitant to close the distance between the two of you.
âDidnât think youâd make it,â she observes.
And you donât really have a bullshit response, know that you had every intention of staying as far away as humanly possible, so you settle on humming your agreement.
âEllie told me,â she starts. âWhy you lashed out on me.â
You swallow.
âAnd part of me gets it, I really do,â she continues, âbut I also thought you had more faith in me than that.â
âIâm sorry,â you whisper. âFuck, Violet, Iâm so sorry.â
âI told you to free up Friday night a few weeks ago,â she says, shuts her locker door and slumps down on the bench behind her. âI was going to tell you everything, officially ask you out, but then all that shit happened and it caught up to me.â
You take a step forward, and then another, and another until youâre standing in front of her.
âYou have to know that I would never do something like to anyone, but especially not to you,â she says softly, taking your hands in hers.
âI know.â
She brushes her lips against your knuckles, pulls you in closer so that youâre standing between her legs.
âYouâre right,â she continues, voice hoarse. âI donât have a spotless track record, but I meant it when I said that I donât give a shit about anyone else but you. I would give you anything I can if you let me.â
Your hands rest on her shoulders, her chin resting against the plush of your belly as you look down at her, speechless.
âThat night, in the car, you said that you didnât see what made you so different.â
âI donât,â you admit.
Vi stands, caging you between strong arms as she drops her face into the hollow of your neck. You shiver when you feel her lips press to the skin there.
âWe could start off with the obvious.â
One of her hands rests on the small of your back, pulls you flush so that the only things that separate you are the flimsy fabrics of your clothes. The other grabs a handful of your ass.
âI meant it when I said that youâre the kind of pretty that makes me wanna do bad things.â
You gulp, thighs squeezing as her lips part and she bites.
âVi.â
âYou got a giant brain,â she laughs breathily, fingers coming around the fiddle with your belt.
She kisses you, mouth hot and breath warm. Itâs better the second time around, no doubt obscuring you from truly indulging.
âPlâease.â
âYouâre kind and youâre selfless, and youâre my sweet, sweet little crybaby.â
âViolet,â you sigh breathlessly. âListen to me.â
âYeah, sweetheart?â
âFuck me,â you pant. âPlease.â
Violet nearly runs two red lights and whips into your neighborhood on two wheels.
The two of you are stumbling up the stairs and sheâs spanking your ass on the last step as you fiddle with your keys and try to find the right one under the dim light of the complex hall.
Violetâs already unbuckling her belt as you turn the key, nearly taking you down as she shoves you inside and up against the front door.
âMaddie home?â she breathes.
âOut of town,â you answer quickly, kicking off your sneakers and pulling your sweater over your head. âVisiting her family upstate.â
âPerfect,â Vi hums. âIâve been fantasizing about fucking you on your couch.â
âOhââ
One of her rough hands comes to cup your tit over your bra, her tongue laving over the other while her free hand makes work of the clasp.
You walk her back to the couch, stand between her knees as she flops back into the seat. Her arms spread over the back as she settles in, legs widening to give you ample room to strip.
Her eyes never leave yours as you easily unclasp your bra and shimmy out of your jeans, leaving you in nothing but a tight pair of little lace panties and pink socks that has Vi wet.
âCâmere,â she rasps, pulling you to straddle her lap.
Her lips immediately latch onto one of your pebbled nipples, tongue hot as her hands wander.
âFuck.â
âTell me what you want,â she husks, biting down on the swell of your breast.
And having Violet this close, her touch excruciatingly featherlight and tempting, you wind tight.
âWant you inside of me,â you whimper, fingers fixing around her throat. âPlease.â
âYeah?â she eggs you on, lips brushing yours as her palms settle on your ass. âYou want me to fuck you?â
You nod eagerly, hips rolling in her lap as her breath pitches.
âVi.â
Her nickname puffing from your lips makes her crack. Youâre wound in her arms, face in her neck as she peels your thong taut, away from your waiting cunt, and runs her fingertips from your slit down to your clit.
âF...Fâuck,â you sigh.
âHoly shit,â she marvels, licking her lips when she easily glides through your folds. âYouâre really fucking wet.â
You grind down against her, clothed clit catching against her belt buckle. The cool metal sends a jolt through your pussy and youâre moaning loud in her ear.
And Violet really wants to take her time with you, wants to milk the first time she ever gets to fuck you for as long as she humanly can, but sheâs still fully dressed and youâre practically naked, perfect tits pressed to her chest and fat ass in the palm of her hand.
She shifts you further into her, so that she can peek over the arch of your back as she sinks her middle and ring finger three knuckles deep into your needy heat.
âAh, fuck, Violet.â Your voice breaks as she starts pumping into you, your arousal coating her fingers and the sound of her easily slipping through your pussy reverberating through the living room. âFuckfuckfuck.â
She kisses your jaw, litters them until sheâs catching your lips and licking crudely into your mouth.
You cry out when her fingers slip out.
Sheâs leaning the both of you forward, easing you from her lap and onto the couch as she takes a moment to shuck her shirt off and pull her belt through the loops in one tug.
You watch her through it all, the way the trim muscles of her biceps and shoulders flex as she leans over you, takes you by the ankles and yanks you until your ass is half-hanging from the edge of the couch.
She kneels before you, strips you out of your thong.
You donât miss the way she shoves the soiled fabric in her jeans pocket.
âJesus,â she breathes, gaze fluttering between your eyes and your pussy. âYouâre so fucking pretty, sweetheart.â
Your toes curl at the praise, fingers closing around where Viâs holding your legs apart.
âYou know how bad Iâve been wanting to taste your pussy?â she rasps, gathering the lewdest amount of spit to dribble onto your clit. When you donât answer, sheâs freeing a hand to slap your slit.
âNnngh, fuck!â
âThink Iâve always wanted to have you,â she admits. âBut it was that stupid party fucking party and that stupid fucking skirt. God, I wouldâve fucked you in that skirt if you let me.â
âYeah?â you whine breathlessly. âTell me.â
Sheâs stuffing you again without warning, curling her fingers in a way that has your back arching off the couch.
âWouldâve bent you over that sink and made you watch yourself while I ate you out,â she says easily.
And itâs so fucking delicious, the nasty shit Viâs saying to you while she pounds your aching heat; the way she finally gives in and tastes you, sucking on your clit like sheâs starved and youâre the only thing that can sate her hunger.
Your fingers curl through her hair as you teeter dangerously over the edge, nails grazing her scalp and tugging when she hits the spot deep inside of you that has you keening for more.
âIâm gonna fuckinâ cum,â you choke. âHoly fuck.â
You feel Vi grin against your pussy, watch her with a slack jaw and half-lidded eyes because the sight of her between your legs in your moonlit living room has your insides twisting hard.
âCâmon, sweetheart,â she encourages you. âCum all over my fingers. Wanna see you gush.â
âHah, hââ Your thighs tighten around her head, fingers curled so hard in her hair, she moans in a mix of pleasure and pain. âDonât stop, Vi, please.â
She moans into your cunt, savoring the heady taste of you as you practically ride her face.
The sound that fills the room is downright filthy, the sight that Vi beholds when she peeks from where sheâs devouring you equally so. Itâs picturesque, the way she has you writhing. A sheen of perspiration glistens over your flesh as she eats you out and itâs a perfect mix of her tongue and her fingers that send you soaring over the edge.
Itâs a pitched whine that echos, the staccato of your shaky breathing that sings like music in her ears as you cum. And hard.
Her lashes flutter against the skin of your inner thighs as she peppers kisses there, her lips slick with spit and arousal.
âFuck, babe,â she whispers. âThat was...â
She canât really choose a specific word, is just mind blown at the fact that sheâd just made you cum so hard and so fast. It makes her tense and tingle, a smug wave of pride washing over her as she starts mouthing a trail from your belly, between the valley of your tits, up your throat, to finally press a chaste one on your lips.
You taste yourself first and foremost, but then you taste everything sheâs ever wanted to say to you, all the unspoken words and the things sheâd been too scared to share. Feel it in the way her hands are roaming, squeezing, caressing.
You breathe a disbelieving laugh, peck her lips again when she pulls away to brush your hair from your face.
âViââ Your breath hitches and your eyes glaze.
âI know, I know.â
You wrap your arms around her shoulders, legs hooking around the narrow of her waist as she bears your weight and picks up your boneless figure.
âIâm not done with you yet, sweetheart.â
The sun is warm against your skin when you wake up the following morning, your bedroom bathed in an orange glow.
You feel bone tired, body sore and muscles tight as your arm sweeps the other side of the bed in search of balmy skin, but instead youâre met with cool sheets and swelling dread.
You sit up quickly, find that youâre still naked, and take a moment to asses your bedroom. The bathroom doorâs cracked, light off, and everything else is exactly where you left it.
Everything except Vi.
Oh, you think to yourself.
Almost donât want to leave your room because your empty apartment will be confirmation enough that Vi really did get the last laugh in the end.
But you force yourself out of bed, shrug on an oversized t-shirt before finding the living room just as still as it had been before the two of you had barreled in the night before and sheâd left her mark on you.
The only sign that the entire thing wasnât just a figment of your imagination was Viâs belt strewn haphazardly on the coffee table.
You feel hollow, almost numb, and even if a persistent part of your brain was consistently telling you that you shouldâve known better, the tears well in your eyes because youâd really hoped Violet was different.
You knuckle the tears away angrily, mind racing far too fast to register the door quietly unlocking and the soft footfalls coming down the hall.
âBabe?â
Your gaze snaps up.
Like a vision, Viâs standing in the doorway, a handful of plastic bags in tow. Sheâs wearing her clothes from last night and the puffs under her eyes make her a little worse for wear.
She sets the bags down on the eat-in, rounds the couch to take you by the shoulders.
âWhatâs wrong?â she worries. âWhatâs going on?â
You hiccup, crumpling in her arms because you were so fucking scared.
âThought you left,â you croak.
Vi breathes a sigh of relief, blowing out a hollow laugh because her girlâs such a baby.
âYou have jack shit in your fridge,â she teases lightly. âHow am I supposed to make you a five star breakfast with greek yogurt and carrot sticks?â
You whine.
âDonât care about breakfast,â your muffled voice sounds from where your face is pressed in her chest. âJust wanted to wake up to you.â
Violet groans.
âYouâre so cute,â she laughs, kissing the top of your head.
âI wanna go back to bed,â you mutter petulantly, emotional whiplash making your eyes droop.
âYouâre not gonna let me make you breakfast?â Vi picks, smoothing the hair from your face.
Your eyes catch the bracelet refastened around her wrist and you grin softly, taking her fingers to press a kiss to her palm.
She could combust, gaze gooey as she watches you watch her.
Yeah, Vi has a huge problem.
One thatâs particular, and overarching; one she doesnât think she can go without.
And frankly, she wouldnât have it any other way.
can I request some headcanons of the arcane men reacting to their S/O coming back to them after going missing after a fight and just pure comfort on both sides
Please ans thank you
yess! def was much more comfort received by reader but that's just my own issues and emotions guiding the writing process for this T-T
Arcane men after their S/O disappears after a fight
pairings: jayce, viktor, ekko
genre: fluff, hurt comfort
Jayce:Â
Genuinely feels so horrible the second you leave.
He didn't mean to snap. He is just so stressed with the council and Hextech.
Literally unable to function when he thinks you're mad at him, so when he also couldn't find you anywhere for three days he damn near had a breakdown
When you finally came back he would not stop apologizing for WEEKS
Was all over you, giving you gifts and so much affection
Brought you flowers every morning for two weeks after
âBaby, I am so sorry. Truly I feel horrible,- I was stressed and overwhelmed and I snapped when I shouldn't have. I love you so much, I never want to see you walk out like that ever again.â
______________________________________________
Viktor:Â
Not the best with his emotions, but he knows when he fucked up
When you disappeared afterward and he didn't find you in your apartment, he worried but he knew to give you the space you needed
Instead of apologizing in person, he left a handwritten letter on your kitchen counter
When you showed up in his lab days later, the letter in your hand, he didn't say anything.
Just opened his arms and let you crawl into his lap, holding you close with one arm wrapped firmly around your waist, the other petting your hair.
âI know, darling. I'm so sorry. Let's not fight again, yes, dear?â
He's stubborn as shit, so when you stormed out of his room and slammed the door, he silently seethed and kicked the chair at his desk before angrily going back to whatever he was working on
Didn't mind that you didn't come around for the next few days, he also needed space to think things over.Â
He was surprised at how good you were at avoiding him when you wanted to, though.Â
Eventually, the anger wore off and he was left feeling guilty about the fight, and sad you weren't around him anymore
Not the best with words, so he definitely struggled to apologize, but he made up for his struggle to verbally express his feelings by kissing you all over and leaving marks on your neck afterward.Â
âLook I, uhm, I'm sorry. I was being shitty, I shouldn't have said those things, and I'm sorry you felt the need to avoid me for so long too.âÂ

Hi! Yes you absolutely may! i loved this request, and I hope you love what I wrote based off of it!
'How I met your grandfather'
pairing: Jinx X Fem!Reader
genre: fluff, maybe a hint of hurt/comfort
Wc: 2835
You sigh as you enter Jinxâs hideout, shoulders sore and the bags under your eyes growing heavier and heavier. You'd been out with Sevika keeping the lanes in check after the Stillwater breakout, and it was tireless. Enforces had been down your throats the entire time, and balancing keeping the enforcers from beating angry zaunites while also wanting to beat the shit out of them yourself had taken its toll.Â
The lanes have been a never-ending job since Silco died.Â
You felt horrible for leaving jinx alone after the attack, but she understood. You worked for Silco when he was here, and now sevika. She knew what your job entailed and was used to you being gone for days at a time.Â
Stepping onto the still wings of the fan, you were confused by the noise or lack thereof. Her hideout was never quiet, always the sound of her tinkering, or having dance parties and bug-boxing matches mixed with Ishas giggles.Â
âIâm home! Anybody here?â you call out into the air. The only response is the echo of your own voice. âIsha? Jinx?â you call out once more. Confused, you walk up to her workstation, cluttered and disorganized as always. You're met with a note on her desk, your name in her distinctive scribbly handwriting on the front page.Â
âHey trinket, we found Vander. Took him to some mystery healer on the edge of Zaun. Meet us there if we aren't back before you.
Love yaâÂ
Your eyes widen as you scan the letter once more, her lack of detail slightly worrying. Questions flooded your brain as you flipped her vague note to find directions on the back.Â
Scurrying to get your things together as quickly as possible, you take off in the direction of this âmystery healerâ, your heavy boots loud as you run to find your girlfriend and her back from the dead dad
You're slightly panting as you reach the gates she directed you to, having sprinted half the way there, and jogged the other half. Pausing for a moment as you catch your breath, you make eye contact with a man standing in front of the gates.Â
His eyes are white, and he's covered in these bubbly pearlescent patterns, donned in the strangest clothes you've seen. You manage to mutter âThe fuckâŠâ before heâd beckoning you closer.Â
You slowly stand up straighter, distrust evident in your features as you begin to approach him.Â
Deciding that you in fact, do not want to open the can of worms that is the freaky-looking man with a blank expression, you attempt to walk straight past him, eyes set on the entrance in front of you, searching for any sign of wild blue hair or large semi robot beast.
You're stopped by Mr. Freaky before you can waltz past, his thin frame swerving in front of you. âI must ask that you turn in any weapons before entering,â he says, an odd cadence in his voice that you've never heard from a zaunite. You scoff at this request, âyeah, no thanksâ you reply before attempting to shove past once more.Â
You stopped once again, his tone firmer this time. âI must insist, as it is the policy of the Machine Heraldâ. You consider just socking the guy in the face and making a run for it but decide that you don't know what kind of crazy superpowers this guy might have, and to be quite honest you don't want to find out.Â
âLook, not gonna happen. Not sure who this âmachine heraldâ is, but I'm looking for someone else. Just let me pass, iâll be on my merry way and you can keep doing whateverâŠ. This isâ the annoyance shameless drips from your voice now, you have places to be and this guy is single-handedly keeping you from said places.Â
He once again denies you access, and you lose your shit. You're now (loudly) in a full-blown argument with this guy, neither of you budging. His voice is only starting to rile you up more, and you're an inch away from executing your hit-and-run plan from earlier when you hear the raspy voice of your lover calling your name.Â
You freeze immediately, fist pausing mid-air as your eyes dart behind the man to see Jinx, leaning against the entrance, arms crossed and a knowing smirk on her face.Â
âStand down, sergeant. No beating the greeter.â her voice is sarcastic and teasing, and you sigh in defeat. Arms dropping and face annoyed as you reluctantly hand the man your pistol and several pocket knives that you keep strapped to you in various places.Â
Once unarmed, the man simply smiles and steps aside, and you make sure to knock him in the shoulder before stomping over to your girlfriend.Â
Your annoyance subsides as you see her smiling face, your arms immediately wrapping around her shoulders and pulling her close. You feel her relax into your embrace, strong arms circling your waist and giving you a good squeeze before pulling back.Â
âWhat the hell is this place, and why did that fish-man never change his facial expression once?â you question your voice laced with confusion and slight concern.Â
She simply shrugs her shoulders and turns to start guiding you through the odd community full of tents and more people with white eyes and pearlescent patterns. âVi said she knew of a healer here in the lanes. Said he was performing some miracles or some magic bullshit.â she spins on her heel to look at you while continuing to walk backward. âPersonally I think he's just some weird purple fortune teller, but Vi trusts him and Vanders actually getting better, so..â her voice softens during the last part of her sentence, voice trailing off as her eyes cast slightly downward.Â
You pause in your tracks, shock evident on your features. âWait, Viâs here?â not even attempting to hide the surprise in your voice at the mention of her estranged sister.Â
She sighs, once again avoiding eye contact. âYeah, I mean, it's her dad too. Didn't feel right not letting her know that he's alive, at least.â you slowly nod as you come to terms with her reasoning.Â
âAnywho! Now we're here at this weird commune run by a metal fortune cookie that can read minds and I dead honestly think this place is a cult. Everyone here is weird. And the only good food is the fruit. The only snacks are trail mix and it's all eighty percent raisins,â her lip curls in disgust, shaking her head slightly before continuing. âI fucking hate raisins. Just give me a grape, I don't want its juiceless corpse as an alternative.âÂ
You snort at her wording, but can't help yourself agreeing. Raisins suck and it's a crime to ruin perfectly good snacks with them.Â
You continue to follow her, passing tents all full of people dressed similarly to the first man you met. Some were in tents that looked more like workshops, cooking, and sewing, and some in tents that looked more like homes, full of pillows and blankets and small furniture pieces.Â
She continues to ramble about this place, she mentions that Isha is off in a tent somewhere helping a group of women weave a blanket (boring), how the healer (who you figured out is the machine herald from earlier) somehow knew her childhood name, and how Vi had turned into some emo looking alcoholic and lost another fight to jinx in an underground tunnel.Â
Finally, her walking begins to slow as you both reach a greenhouse near the middle of the village. It's a dome made of detailed stained glass, and you can vaguely make out the shape of the massive frame of Vander inside. You spot Vi sitting on the edge of what seems to be a water well, and Jinxâs description isn't too off. You make a mental note of the poorly done hair job and vow to make fun of her for it later.Â
When Vi looks up and spots you, she sends you a nasty glare before stomping away with an excuse of finding Isha. You roll your eyes, so what if you've tried to kill each other a couple of times? No big deal, honestly.Â
Jinx also rolled her eyes and dismissed her sister with a wave of her hand. âSheâll get over it, don't worry. She was just as dramatic when I went to find her.â
She simply crossed her arms, leading you to a bench outside the greenhouse. Once sat, she slumps into your side, shoulder pressing against yours and head leaning against the side of your own.Â
âIt's weird, you know? It's him, he remembers me and Vi but⊠heâs also part of this beast he's trapped in. Vi keeps asking for my opinion on⊠All of this, but I have no clue. I think I'm still in shock from when I realized it was him.â She shakes her head, letting her voice trail off. You sit in silence for a moment, letting her words marinate in your brain.Â
You weren't sure how to respond, for Christ's sake, you barely even knew your own parents. What the hell do you say to someone who killed two of her dads, and then found out the first one is actually alive but trapped in the body of a hostile science experiment?Â
Deciding that there was nobody on the planet who could find the words to comfort someone in this situation, you simply grab her hand instead and allow her to rest against you. She knew what your body language meant when words failed you. She always did.Â
You sat like that for a while, enjoying each other's company and the quiet. It wasn't often that there was peaceful silence in Zaun, as silence usually meant danger. You both relished the feeling of letting your guard down for the first time in years.Â
Eventually, a man⊠or.. Robot? You weren't sure, steps out of the greenhouse. His body is a mix of purples and blues, looking like a painted night sky, and he is adorned in a cloak similar to those worn by the others on the commune. He approaches the both of you, still sitting on the bench, an aura of confidence and peace to him. His accent is thick when he finally addresses Jinx.Â
âI've decided to end our session today. Your father's condition is improving slowly but I can see him growing tired, and I fear pushing him too far may bear consequences.â he nods his head at you in a greeting as he finishes his sentence, before turning and walking away.Â
Jinx grumbles a response, something of a âthank youâ mixed with some sarcastic remarks, and you think you hear an âaluminum psychicâ mixed in there, but before you can think too hard she grabs your hand pulling you towards the greenhouse.Â
You stumble slightly, but follow her as she impatiently hops towards the door. Pushing the large door open, she drops your hand and runs inside. You're met with the smell of fresh plants and herbs as you follow her inside, slowly looking around the room and taking everything in as she runs over and wraps her arms around her father, asking how he's feeling.Â
His eyes immediately snap to you, a look of distrust and unease in his eyes as he stares you down. Jinx notices, and slowly steps back from her hug. She keeps her eyes on vander as she backs towards you, grabbing your hand before speaking.Â
âVander, this is my girlfriend.â her voice is soft as she begins to slowly walk towards him, hand still locked in yours.Â
Fuck, you were not prepared for the whole âmeeting the dadâ part of all of this. Sure, you've met one of her dads before, but that's because you worked for him, so the stereotypical introduction wasn't necessary at the time.Â
Attempting to calm your nerves and make a good impression, you clear your throat and lift your hand as an offering for a handshake. âHi- um, hello. Nice to meet you, sir. Big fan of your work. Both the daughter and the, uh, other stuff.â your voice shakes as you attempt a joke to try and relieve some of the tension growing in the small greenhouse.Â
Your introduction is met with silence, and then more silence, as Vander just stares at you, occasionally glancing between you and Jinx.Â
Finally, your girlfriend decides she's seen enough to rescue the situation, stepping between the two of you before breaking the screaming silence. âWell, this has been wonderful. Weâll let you get some rest for now, though.â she grabs your hand again, speedily leading you out of the greenhouse back into the peaceful village of tents.Â
Once outside you feel her drop your hand and pause, looking over to see her with her arms crossed and eyebrows raised, amusement causing the corners of her lips to curl up. âNice one! Real smooth, babe.â she teases. You shake your head, biting the inside of your cheek and resting your hands on your hips. âI don't wanna talk about it.â
Vander glances around at the smiling faces surrounding him. Sat at a small picnic table outside the greenhouse sat his family. His eldest daughter to his right, and the miniature Powder to his left. A feast of fruits, salads, and roasted vegetables covered the table. A dinner cooked by a group of people on the commune.Â
Across from him sat grownup Powder and her⊠girlfriend.
Vander was already struggling to come to terms with the fact that his daughters were now grown. It felt like no time had passed in his mind, but the years had left their mark on the girls nonetheless, and now he has to come to terms with his youngest daughter being out in the world of romance. His little girl, all grown up and dating women he'd never even met before.Â
He continues to stare at the two of you, giggling and talking with the others at the table, shoulders occasionally brushing together. His eyes were weary as he watched you two, despite the fact that Powder seems to trust you with everything, nothing changes his distrust and distaste towards seeing his little girl all grown up.Â
He continues this internal battle in his mind, struggling with the growing protectiveness only amplified by the traces of the beast still in his mind. Even the tiny powder trying to get him to eat and offering him water couldn't help distract him from the affection being shown from across the table.Â
He could tell you knew he didn't trust you, as every time you made eye contact your eyes would dart away, face casting downwards.Â
Eventually, the sun sets, and the conversation at the table begins to slow as the food in front of him is quickly destroyed by the hungry teens accompanying him, miniature powder having fallen asleep against his leg not too long after.Â
He watches as Powder begins to grow tired next to you, her eyes drooping and shoulders slowly slouching as she tries to keep herself awake. You notice, and gently nudge her before deciding it's time to call it a night. You stand, and pull Powder up from the bench she's sat on.Â
âC'mon, sleepyhead,â you grumble as you turn around and lean over. She turns around and throws herself onto your back, her legs going around your waist as you catch her and lift her until she's snuggly pressed into your back, her head leaning into your neck as her eyes close once more.Â
His eyes soften as he watches you make your way to his side of the table to pick up the miniature powder from his lap and lift her to your front, one arm wrapped around her keeping her small frame firmly against your chest, the other arm still hooked under one of Powders knees to keep her balanced against your back.Â
The act reminds him of when Powder and Vi were young and would fall asleep on the couch or at the barstools while he cleaned up the bar after a long night. The memories caused a pang in his heart, chest contracting at the memories of when they were young, reminding him of all the years he must have missed.Â
As you slowly begin to walk away towards the tent Vi directed them to, he speaks up before you're too far away.Â
His gravelly and deep voice calls out behind you, âIt was nice meeting you too..â you pause in your steps, turning your head to look at the man behind you to confirm you weren't hearing things. Upon seeing your face, he glances down before continuing, âYou seem like a good kid, you're, uh, good for Powder.âÂ
Your face slowly splits into a grin, simply nodding your head at him once, before turning and continuing your trek into the night.Â
Meet the future father-in-law: check.Â
