idk if your requests for Arcane are still open but would you mind writing some headcanons for Vi & Jinx (seperately) x reader who's afraid of heights? and they're comforting them tryna get around the city on the rooftops or something? sorry if this is weird but it's been in my mind the last couple days, and all good if you don't wna write it, just thought I'd ask
❤ Vi has been begging you to let her teach you parkour for ages. Every time she's asked, you've always told her no. Never why, but always no. You feel bad each time she asks. It's a bit of a reoccurring thing because of how stubborn she tends to be, but she doesn't give you too hard of a time over it. She'll just take the no that time around and move on.
❤ The day you finally cave and say yes? She is absolutely losing her mind. She almost doesn't realize you say yes at first, going about the conversation as you usually did when you said no. But then you repeat yourself-- yes-- and her eyes go wide. Vi gets so excited that you almost feel bad for turning her down this whole time.
❤ Although, it was easy to say yes on the ground... Once you're up on the rooftops, you're sure that you might die. Just climbing the fire escape alone was an ordeal and you tried to push it down. You didn't want to disappoint Vi. You wanted to do this to make her happy. But, unfortunately, it's impossible to hide anything from Vi.
❤ Vi notices your anxiety as soon as you both get on the roof. And then it just clicks. She realizes why you've been avoiding this for so long, and is quick to offer not to do it. She doesn't want you to feel like you have to for her sake, but you insist. If there is anyone that you want to conquer your fears with... It's her.
❤ Vi is touched by this but makes sure to take things super slow. She sticks to a lot of buildings that aren't that high off the ground. She takes you to buildings that are two or three floors at the most since a lot of buildings in Zaun can be really high. Her hand will almost always be in yours, murmuring encouraging words in your ear.
❤ If you slip up or miss a jump? She is there immediately to catch you. It actually makes the whole experience less terrifying because Vi proves time and time again that she is there. And that she will always be able to catch you.
❤ Whenever you nail a jump or manage to make a run without freezing, Vi smothers you in praise. She has positive reinforcement for just about anything you do. Expect lots of hugs, cheers, and happy kisses around basically every corner.
❤ If you ultimately conquer your fear of heights, expect Vi to want to race you all the time. She will propose bets with different rewards for beating her. Plus, you coming full-circle from where you started out would be beating her in a race. Your reward, of course, is a date with her. (Shocker) All in all, she will be so unbelievably proud of you.
❤ Jinx doesn't catch onto things until it's too late, unfortunately. You both were out on a delivery run that inevitably went south. Without Sevika and the others to back you both up, it is a bit hard for you two to hold your own. So, when things got bad, Jinx fled to the rooftops, taking you with her.
❤ Your heart was hammering in your chest as you both bounded across the roof, trying not to think of how high up you were. Jinx held your wrist tightly until you neared the edge of the roof. She let go to pick up speed and leap across, managing to make it with ease. You tried to follow in suit, keeping your eyes glued on her blue braids, but... You reached the ledge and froze.
❤ Your eyes had darted down, seeing how far away the ground was and it felt like the world was spinning. You only looked up when you heard Jinx shouting to you. Her shrill voice caught your attention and you locked eyes. You could see the regret in her eyes for bringing you up there.
❤ "Jump!! I'll catch you!" Jinx shouted urgently, eyes flicking to look behind you with increasing anxiousness. You didn't need to look over your shoulder to know your pursuers were gaining fast. "I promise! I got you, lovey, just jump!!" If it had been anyone else, you wouldn't have done it. You would've preferred to get caught than to take the possible plunge.
❤ But this was Jinx, and you trusted her with your life. Taking several steps back and a deep breath, you ran at full speed the short distance back to the edge before jumping. Everything around you was a blur-- You were sure that you completely blanked out the whole experience, but Jinx had kept her word.
❤ You just missed the ledge, but she caught you. Her arms wound tightly around you, yanking you up over the edge before you could take the plunge. You were stunned, world spinning around you until you felt Jinx happily smash her lips against your own. She pulled away with a triumphant yell before taking up your hand and running again. She took the fire escape back to the ground level, not wanting to put you in another stressful jump.
❤ "That was amazing!" Jinx cackled gleefully as she pulled you along, expertly weaving between Zaunites and alleyways to get away from your pursuers. You were still almost in shock that you had actually done that. And you hadn't died!
❤ It wasn't the most ideal scenario, but Jinx had helped you through it... Maybe heights weren't so bad when she was there to help. Something you could both work on together in the future just... Not anytime too soon.
