Ok your writing is chefs kiss and I JUST discovered the backpackers au???? Omg. She’s in so much denial even at the end i fear ‘oh it’d be cool to cuddle in bed I guess’ meanwhile xaden is picking out wedding rings and future children’s names 💀🥲I do wonder how long does it take them in that au to admit to their followers they’re dating or is it they never address it until they’re engaged type situation?
thank you!! <3 yes she's so in denial she could be cleopatra.
in my head they don't say anything at first because violet doesn't want to, but after vi is more comfortable in the relationship (i.e. no longer in denial lol) it becomes a bit of a joke that they're not dating *wink wink* even though EVERYONE knows they are, but she still tries to convince people they're not dating in her videos as part of the joke while xaden goes to equal lengths to thwart these attempts. comedic tomfoolery ensues.
for example:
vi: *in the backroom of basgiath* "hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. today i'm reviewing a new water filter and backpacking stove i got from basgiath outdoors. i received them for free in exchange for an honest review—"
xaden: *yelling in the background* "it was her anniversary gift."
vi: *throws the water filter at his head* "the anniversary of the first time i bought something at basgiath."
xaden: "the anniversary of the first time we fu—"
vi: *stops the recording*
