.•What Once Was•. (vixreader)

Tip from Little Man.

You and Vi were now up top on the roof, watching the stars and seeing the glittering lights from Piltover.
Her hand was laid atop of yours, your fingers intertwined with hers and squeezed tightly.
You had a huge smile on your face, enough so that you looked like a dumbfounded idiot.
Right now, though, you definitely were a dumbfounded idiot, reasonably so. This day was absolutely amazing, and you ended up with something so damn precious by the end of it.

"Violet, Y/n, have you girls seen-"
Vander stopped midway as he was now on the roof with you both, and you were quick to avert his gaze, the two of you withdrawing your hands out of surprise.
Embarrassment flooded your senses, and you could feel your face heating up as you acknowledged the fact that he had caught you two in a non-friendly embrace.
A smug smirk etched itself onto his face, similar to the one Vi would always display.
"I take it today went smoothly, Vi?"

She put her hands atop of her face in humiliation as you laughed.
You had finally understood what Vander meant earlier today.
She groaned, shaking her head.
"It sure did, Vander."
You replied as a grin took over your face.
"Good. It's about time, everybody except the both of you knew. Well, I'll leave you both be."
He finished, and he went back down the stairs, seemingly forgetting all about what he was gonna ask you two.

You nudged Vi.
"You talked to Vander about your little crush on me?" You cooed at her, poking her in her side as you dragged your words mockingly.
"Ugh, shut up."
"Aww! You're getting all red."
She faced the other way, but you knew that wouldn't help much, as you could see the pink spreading onto her ears. Pinky sure did fit her as a nickname.

You hummed, laying your head on her shoulder as you continued watching ahead, taking ahold of her hand yet again and rubbing small patterns on her skin.
"I think it's sweet."
"Oh please, you think it's amusing."
"No! Not at all, I swear."
She sighed, laying your head atop of yours.
"He already knew. He said I was always too obvious, so he convinced me to muck up the courage to ask you to be something more than friends. He went away and purposely left us both alone so that I could finally ask you out, which I will admit, was genius of the old man."

You smiled at her confession, your heart swelling with joy.
"That was very brave of you, my knight in shining armor."
She chuckled.
"If you say so, my damsel in distress."
The both of you stayed like that for a while in comfortable silence, simply just admiring the moment before it would slip away.
She was so warm, pressed up against you so cozily. She smelled of fresh soap and wood, with a hint of other earthy smells. You could stay like this with her forever.

She quietly broke the silence, looking down at you with admiration.
"Could you stay the night with me?"
The question made the butterflies in your stomach swarm, but you sighed in defeat.
"I don't know, Vi... you know the stories I have of my boss. What if he goes to check on me and sees I'm not there?"
"Oh come on. That boss of yours doesn't seem to give a damn anymore. When's the last time he actually said goodnight to you?"
You sat and thought for a minute.
She was right, it had been months since he last went to check up on you. Most of the time it was just brief small talk during the day, if he managed to catch you in time.
He began to spend more and more time down at the lab to work on his shimmer with Singed, and you rarely got to see him.

Silco had not noticed your lack of appearances; he simply didn't care in general.
You looked down at the floor, and sighed.
"I guess you're right. It wont hurt to stay just this night."
Vi noticed your slight change in demeanor, and she simply wrapped her arm around you in a comforting manner.
"Don't worry about it, Cupcake. Y'know, if he hadn't been this careless, we never would have met."
