It's Not a Date!

Warnings: Swearing, Mention of Trauma, Childish prank causes a PTSD-based panic attack

You were startled awake by a loud thud. You threw yourself up noticing that Powder did the same. Your eyes landed on the door and saw Vi, Claggor, and Mylo pause in the doorway. Vi had her bag slung over her shoulder and it looked obviously full.

"Oh! Hey, Y/n!" Vi grinned, "Were you and Powder hanging out today?"

Claggor closed the door as Vi casually tossed her bag onto her bed and sat down. It landed with a thump and a clang that had you and Powder giving the older girl a deadpan stare.

"I got here right as you left, apparently. I was actually coming by to tell you that my brother wanted to see you. He said it's important, but wouldn't tell me what it was. Said that it was for Vi and Vi only." You grumbled as you pulled Vi's bag down from her bed and started rummaging through it, "So, I stayed and hung out with Powder for a while. It's rare that we get one-on-one time these days." You picked up a shiny black metal hand fan and flicked it open. Powder pulled the bag away from you to look through it herself.

"Well, I'm glad you came around because I was hoping to speak with you." Vi smiled at you and you blushed looking away from her. Your eyes landed on Powder who gave you a cheeky grin.

"While you two do that-" Powder got up and grabbed one of her little bombs, "I am going to go find Ekko and see if he wants to brawl!" She quickly approached the door and threw you a wink before disappearing. You blinked as everyone turned to you with a questioning look on their faces, "Don't look at me! I have no idea why she did that." You huffed and turned around. Your eyes landed back on Vi's bag so you pulled it over to you and pretended to rifle through it.

"Yeah, well, I'm not sticking around. I've hung out with Vi enough today." Mylo scoffed, "If I keep spending so much time with girls I'm going to lose it." He got up with a huff.

"Don't forget that this girl is the one who saved you from getting your ass beat yesterday."

"Whatever... Are you coming or not, Claggor?"

You heard Claggor sigh and their footsteps headed out of the room. It was almost silent in the room if it wasn't for the soft tinkling noises coming from the bag in front of you. You pulled out a second fan, one that looked identical to the one you already had. You grabbed your bag from next to you and dropped them in.

You heard Vi's footsteps approach you and stop right before you felt her hand on your shoulder. You paused and turned your head to gaze up at her in question. She didn't say anything but stared into your eyes for a few seconds.

"Vi?"

There was no response from the pink-haired girl except for a soft smile. 'Oh.' Your stomach flipped and you turned away. 'That's a new feeling.' You heard her cough and clear her throat, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make things awkward." Vi sat down on the floor next to you in her usual way. Her knees were up and she was leaning back on her hands. When you asked her why she always sat like that, she shrugged.

"I got lost in thought while looking at you and..." Vi sighed, "...and I guess I felt a little insecure."

You scooted closer to her and nudged her knee with your hand, "And here I was thinking that you didn't show human emotions." You teased her. She let out a small laugh and looked at you. You gave her a smile and nudged her again.

"Tell me. What are you insecure about?"

"You." Vi hid her face from you, but you caught a blush on her cheeks. 'Woah, I've never seen Vi blush like that! She's almost as pink as her hair!'
