    Summary

    Vi wasn’t looking for anything.
    Her late night café shifts were quiet and predictable. The same faces. The same city lights.

    Then Evelyn started showing up.
    She never said much. Never touched her coffee. Always stared at the skyline like it meant something only she could see.

    Vi tried not to notice, but Evelyn lingered in her thoughts. She was calm, distant, but not cold. Familiar in a way that didn’t make sense.

    Vi told herself it didn’t matter.
    But she found herself waiting for the quiet footsteps at closing time. For the silence between them. For the questions she wasn’t ready to ask.

    She didn’t know it yet, but Evelyn was only the beginning. There was someone else waiting. Someone she could be with. Someone who could love her back.

    Summary

    But here and now, her infatuation and endless ire with the woman next to her would only widen, growing to swallow her whole. Her mother seals their fate with a stern, decided gaze. Her mother clears her throat, her cup of tea already half drank in front of her before she speaks.

     

    “In light of yesterday, and with the threat of Noxus looming over us, I’ve decided to appoint Ser Violet to be your sworn protector. Wherever you go, she goes.”

     

    The finality in her tone steals the air from Caitlyn’s lungs. She can feel Vi stiffen next to her, her breathing an increment heavier. Caitlyn dares a side-long glance, anger dancing on the tip of her tongue, and is stunned to see Vi already staring at her, open and almost wild."

    Summary

    Vi took a step closer, voice teasing. "Why does it bother you, hmm?"

    Caitlyn hated how her heart sped up.

    She looked away, grumbling, "Because... because you're supposed to be loyal to me."

    Vi's smirk faltered slightly.

    Caitlyn crossed her arms tighter. "I mean-not that we ever had anything. But still! You-You can't just..."

    She trailed off, biting her lip.

    Vi studied her for a long moment. "Caitlyn."

    Caitlyn refused to meet her gaze.

    Vi sighed, softer now. "I'm single, okay?"

    Caitlyn swallowed.

    Vi hesitated before continuing. "But yeah, I... I do love someone."

    Caitlyn hiccupped, rubbing at her eyes furiously.

    Vi reached for her, concerned. "Caitlyn, why are you-"

    "I knew it!" Caitlyn blurted, voice wobbling.

    Vi blinked. "Knew what?"

    Caitlyn sniffled. "You do love someone! And-and now I have to compete with them?"

    Vi opened her mouth-then shut it, utterly baffled. "I-what?"

    Caitlyn grabbed Vi's hands. "Just-just love me instead!"
