Oh hi, yes... I'm late... By 8 days... But who really cares when it's a nice cozy chapter? And a fic I haven't updated this one in a month? (I'm big time dulu :3)
V had her claws out for fun and prowled around the spire, playing a game of hide and seek with Uzi.
N and J were off hunting, leaving V to watch Uzi.
Hearing some muffled giggles, V knew where Uzi was. She rounded one of the small corpse towers and playfully pounced onto Uzi, then lifted her up, spinning around. Uzi joyously screeched.
“Found you!” V proclaimed happily, chuckling softly. She brought Uzi close to her, nuzzling their visors together.
Uzi pulled away.“Can we do that again? It’s really fun!”
V rolled her eyes, and softly sighed. “Sure, now I’ll count to 30, so go!” V lowered Uzi and ushered her off, closing her eyes to count. She could hear the small footsteps of Uzi. And you said you wouldn’t get attached~. I AM NOT! You’ve been leaving me alone, so why now? I don’t know, maybe you just need help in releasing that you’re attached. V quietly growled.
V realized she wasted more time than she should have, she looked around the spire once more, she knew where Uzi was, but didn’t go to her right away.
“Oh Uzi… Where are you?” She exaggerated her words, causing Uzi to quietly giggle.
“Are you here?!” She pretended to look in the wrong spot, causing Uzi to laugh more. “Not there…” A sly, but also genuine smile was on her face.
“Hmmm… Where is Uzi… Oh where could she be…” V tapped a claw on her chin. “How about here!” The small drone squealed from V suddenly grabbing them.
“Got you.” V softly said, then tossed her into the air, giggles emitted from the child. When V caught her, she set her down, sighing.
Uzi looked up at V, a wide smile on her face. “Could we go for a walk? J has taken me on some!” No point in saying no…
“Sure.” V rubbed her hand over Uzi’s hair, making her beanie lopsided.
“Hey! My hair! J just brushed it!” Uzi glared at V as she fixed it. V smirked in response.
“Oh? Did I mess something up?” V did it again, aggravating the child.
After promptly fixing her hat again, Uzi watched V, and ran to the exit laughing like a gremlin. “Hey! You can’t just run off like that!” V quickly followed, catching up with no problem. Uzi didn’t even leave the spire yet.
V grabbed Uzi by the collar of her shirt. “Did you try to run from me?” V teased, holding Uzi up to her face.
“Yeah.” She smiled. “I know you’ll always find me!” V set Uzi down, and they slowly started walking, Uzi grabbed two of V’s fingers because of how small her hands were.
They walked through the snow ruins of the city, Uzi stuck by V’s side, but observed the area.
Skyscrapers crumbled around the deserted street only filled by cars and skeletons. Lamppost flicked on and off as the wind gently met them. The clouds blocked the starry sky, only letting glimpses of light from the two moons trickle into their apocalyptic home.
Uzi gently let go of V’s hand to walk over and observe some robo roaches nearby. They crawled over a long dead drone, who V recognized as her own work. “Uzi. Remember no biting.” V warily called out, slowly walking over. Well… I‘m glad she isn’t afraid of the body?
Uzi watched them intently as two of the roaches started to fight. The bigger one swatted at the significantly smaller one, and pierced through the body of the tiny pest, causing it to die.
“Aww… I was hoping the smaller one would win…” Uzi stood up and faced V, grabbing her hand.
“Well it was at a disadvantage.” They continued their walk, but Uzi kept the puzzled look on her face.
“Why? The bigger one was missing a leg…” V was slightly surprised Uzi noticed that, because she didn’t.
“Because of its size, it was weaker, whereas the bigger one was stronger.”
“That’s not fair… Size shouldn't matter…” Uzi pouted, crossing her arms. V muffled a laugh from the small drone’s actions.
“Well then… How do you suppose the smaller one should act? How should they gain their success?” V lighty mused.
“... Maybe… Maybe because it’s smaller it could be faster..? And-and like… hit the bigger one’s legs! Making them fall! So the smaller one could then attack it!” As Uzi thought, she gained confidence in her idea.
“That could work… But what if it doesn't? What then?” V bantered back, watching Uzi curiously.
Uzi stopped, and blankly looked at V. “Then I'll kill em.” Her answer caused V to laugh.
“Come on, let’s head home now, wanna fly?” Uzi’s eyes practically light up.
“YES!” She jumped up and down. V giggles and grabs Uzi before jumping into the air, wings deploying mere seconds after.
V glided past the street, heading to the spire with a soft thud signifying her presents. She lowered Uzi onto the ground as N landed beside them.
“Where were you guys?” N asked Uzi, who instantly hugged him.
“We went on a walk!” She smiled wide as Something caught her eye.
“That’s good…” A small chuckle leaked into the air, and suddenly Uzi grabbed V’s tail, causing her to almost stab the child.
“Uzi, stop…” V blankly looked at Uzi.
“No!” Uzi grinned, seeing how far she could push V.
“If you don’t then I’ll stop you.”
“Bite me!” Uzi giggled.
V then lunged at the small child, and grabbed the back of their shirt by her teeth. Her voice was muffled by the fabric.
“Let go of me!” Uzi flailed around, but to no avail. V chuckled and shook her head, causing Uzi to flail more.
“V!” N called out, joyfully shocked at her actions, and V just rolled her eyes and dropped Uzi.
“There. Little brat.” V jokingly called Uzi, ruffling her hair.
Uzi frowned at V, and ran over to N’s side. “This is why I like dad better.”
V playfully gasped. “Rudeness.”
