@archivistfae her.
Vi had a shyness about her that she tried hard to hide, but right now it was obvious as she couldn't make eye contact.

Of course they belonged together, and as though to emphasise that, Vi's arms pulled Cait as tight to her chest as she could, protecting her from invisible dangers
"๐'๐ฏ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ". Always.
In an instant, the redhead was on the floor beside her, pulling Cait's shaking form into her lap and holding her close, fingertips absentmindedly running through long strands of navy hair in an attempt to soothe her.
For a moment, pain struck her chest as an image of -
she barely heard her partners voice calling out to her from the other side of the door.
she'd just wanted to wash off the grime of the Undercity, the neon paint , all of it. all she'd wanted was a nice hot shower. things always seemed better after a nice hot shower.
but, +
arms and it was all so messed up.

She had been wrong that day. Oil and water. What a stupid thing to say just to protect her own damaged heart. -
Vi couldn't help but lean into her touch, letting the warmth of Cait's fingertips against her face soothe her enough to momentarily forget the pain.
She knew she was due an earful soon for letting herself get into this situation, but for now Vi would just enjoy knowing the -
however , vi shouldn't let her peaceful manner make her think she's escaped a lecture . . cait got extremely worried , and will be talking her ear off after she's recovered.

Without thought, a bandaged hand made its way to her partner's cheek, tilting her face so that their eyes met.

"๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐๐ซ ๐ฆ๐?" No answer. "๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ง..." her voice was filled with concern and love as she reached for the handle, knocking three times before turning it

Caitlyn had wanted a shower to wash off the torment that they had been through the last few days, but Vi had her concerns.
Coming home like this was bound to be painful for her partner, and when she sat slumped against the bathroom door and heard the most heartbreaking sobs -
๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐. ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐โ. Pride be damned, there was no point in sugar coating it.
Trust Caitlyn to track her down before she could hide and pretend nothing had happened.
Vi could not deny the undoubtable relief that flooded her upon seeing her partner fly through the doors to The Last Drop like a concerned blue hurricane.
Itโs a good job Sevika had-
truly , had it been any other case , vi would be getting an earful right then and there.
