a little drabble I did for @speed-boop of my sweet Titan baby Vivienne and boop’s Titan OC (Viv’s soon-to-be bestie), Kylan! I’ve been slowly working on their backstory between fic updates and requests, so I though I’d share this little bit with all of you <3

Kylan & Vivienne - 2AM
Vivienne wrapped bandages around her hands as she leaned against the wall. She was waiting for a training partner, even though it was two in the morning. Sleep, these days, was hard to come by. She pulled her short hair back to keep it off her neck, though there wasn’t much she could do about the bangs that were getting close to falling in her eyes. She was barefoot, with the exception of similar bandages wrapped around her ankles and feet, dressed in loose shorts and tank top.
The door to the gym swung open and clicked shut. Viv looked up to see another Guardian, an Awoken, stroll into the room. His dark hair was pulled back off his face. He tossed a duffel down onto one of the benches and he met her gaze. He wasn’t the Guardian she was waiting for, but she wasn’t even sure if anyone else was going to show up this early in the morning. She nodded her head towards the ring.
The man smiled as he stretched his arms across his chest.
Vivienne climbed into the ring. She did a few more quick stretches as he climbed in with her.
“Fancy meeting you here,” he chuckled.
A small smile tugged at the corner of Viv’s lips, and pressed her index finger against her mouth, as if to tell him, “shush.” She didn’t reply as she squared up with him.
“Right, right,” he sighed as his feet slid apart and he raised his hands to be level with his shoulders. “No talk.”
Vivienne lunged towards him, her arm already pulled back, her fist closed into a ball. He blocked her punch, then held up his hands to give her something to hit. She threw strong, focused punches at his palms; each impact rippled through her muscles. Each motion, each impact of her fists against his palms grounded her and pushed back the flashbacks of fire and bullets.
She took half a step back and set herself up for a roundhouse kick, but when she was mere centimetres from making an impact on his side, the man caught her ankle, his grip like iron. They exchanged a look, the muscles in his face twitched as he fought back a smile. He twisted her leg and threw her completely off balance. Vivienne fell onto her back and her head hit the floor of the ring; something in her brain clicked. Flashbacks of the Red War erupted in her memory.
“Slow down, Titan,” he said softly as he extended his arm to her. “We’re boxing, remember?”
Vivienne looked at him through narrowed eyes and took his hand, but her legs lifted and pressed against his abdomen; she yanked on his arm and pulled him over her, and he fell on his back on the floor of the ring. The two of them started laughing together.
“Well played,” he laughed as they both moved to stand. “Very well played.”
Vivienne’s laughter faded and she climbed out of the ring. As infectious as his laughter was, it felt unnatural for her. She decided that she was done training for the night. She was drenched in sweat and drained from the flashbacks.
“You alright, Guardian?” He asked quietly. She looked over her shoulder to see him leaning against the ropes. She nodded after a moment of hesitance. There was silence in the gym as she sat down on a bench and started to unwrap her hands and flex her fingers. “Listen, I know you don’t do the whole first-name-basis thing, but… name’s Kylan. I don’t know what you went through but if you ever need to get it out of your system, I’m here every couple of days if you want to hop in the ring.”
She was quiet for a long time, but her movements slowed as she thought about his proposal.
“Thanks,” she murmured quietly, though she didn’t look up to meet his gaze. “I’m Viv…”
Kylan smiled softly at her. “Viv…” he repeated quietly. He stepped out of the ring as Vivienne was gathering her belongings to go home and shower. “You have a good night, Titan.”
Another small smile tugged at her lips and she nodded to him as she started to walk out the door. She paused a moment to look back at him, he was already setting himself up to continue his workout. As much as she wanted to take him up on his offer, she wasn’t ready to let anyone too close. She couldn’t risk it.
☕ Go on I've agreed with all of your hug choices so far 👀
☕ Soft hug!
Mithrax!!! He would be so kind, so gentle with his hugs, especially because he has 4 arms and would want to make sure he doesn’t crush anyone with all that extra force.
Send me an emoji for a type of hug and a character who will give it!
Psst so like... I can't stop thinking about the Overwatch/Destiny crossovers you have and it's giving me mad inspiration for a lot of stuff since I literally came back to Overwatch a few weeks ago. Also can I say I love your drawings they're amazing?? Anyway sorry I don't wanna just straight up steal your idea though, am I cool to draw my baby frog boy Lúcio and a few others crossed over??
I also just came back into overwatch a few weeks ago after being real into Destiny lol
But yeah feel free, I’m not doing much with the idea other than joking around about it occasionally anyway
I have an intense and passionate love for cooking, though I’m more of a pastry chef than anything. I’ve got an entire pinterest board dedicated to all kinds of recipes I want to try making (including some cannabis recipes lol), and whenever I have spare cash and a day off from work, I’ll do a bit of shopping and try something new! I got an Instant Pot for Christmas and let me tell you, you have a friend who loves cooking? That’s a great present.
I’m actually going to be making something tonight! Creamy bacon and mozzarella smothered garlic chicken~ yummm
send me a 🌻 and I’ll tell you whatever the fuck I want
