Pairing: Mel Medarda x Noxian!Assassin!Reader
Summary: The objective you were given was to eliminate anyone who was a threat to Noxian society and reputation. Nobody has ever gotten in the way, no love, no distraction. But during that time, you slowly started to get close to Mel, behind wraps, until she was exiled to Piltover.
Your heart just wouldnât stop, would it?
Warnings: Murder (kinda descriptive) | Intimacy at end | Mentions of reader being strong âcause we need some muscle âround here | Reader & Mel are teens in the beginning | absolutely diabolical style of writing | kinda corny but oh well |
A/N: Requested by an anon :)
Was listening to Hozierâs version on loop the whole time when writing this.
You trained your life for this.
The sword was in your hand for as long as you could remember. The day your father started training you was the same day you found your feet. He was harsh, but in the nation you lived in, youâd have to fight soon enough.
You vowed to show no weakness whatsoeverânot during missions nor outside of that. You were focused on your main objective and that only.
Until you werenât.
There was mandatory training with Ambessa. Even with all the training youâd been given over the years, you needed to be proven worthy.
Heavy amounts of sweat filled your senses as you spared. You could almost taste it, salty yet sweet; it dripped from your forehead to your chin.
Her strength was unmatched, but claimed that this was her going âeasyâ on you. She twisted your arm and kept it in front of you, pressing your back to the ground. A sharp strike of pain coursed through youâas sharp as the blade you carry.
At the corner of your eye, you saw her.
Mel stood in the doorway, poised posture, a curious expression. Hands held at her front, ring glistening in the cool lighting of the room.
She was a gem, a beautiful one at that. Gold accessories decorated her hair, along with the freckles that spotted her face. She was composed, silently watching.
You werenât completely unknown to each other, youâve heard of one another, based on other peopleâs words.
Rumors rarely spread through Noxus; there was much more to focus on than silly speculation. Although, rarity doesnât mean it never happens.
âMother,â she spoke up accordingly, âI need to speak with you.â Air released from Ambessaâs nose in a sigh as she let go of you. You stay laid on the mat from exhaustion, taking in as much oxygen as your lungs could.
âUp, child.â Her hand wrapped around your arm with ease, and lifted you to your feet. âWe will continue this another day, as for now, get some rest.â There was something hidden in her tone that you couldnât catch. You did catch the silent look Mel gave you before she left, however.
What could it mean?
ââ
â
There was this weird tingle.
Deep down, a feeling buried within, a fuzzy sense; a blurred line between eagerness and anxiousness. This girl was stirring up emotions youâd never felt before
You wanted to talk to her, desperately. It was something about herâyouâre curious, eager.
The energy that surrounded her was gravitational. She was the sun, you were a planet, pulled together by her forces. How, how did she do it? She doesnât know it but she has you wrapped around her fingerâwait, no.
You barely saw her for more than five minutes and are already having these thoughts, these feelings?
A huff left your lips, blinking at the blank wall of your room. There was little to no color visible in the room, there was no need for it. Colors were a projection of emotion, especially bright colors. What was there to show?
ââ
â
You wish your heart stop would stop beating.
The repetitive thumping against your chest every time she was around is driving you insane. As if someone was punching from the insideâtrapped words kept burrowed within.
Surely she had no interest in youâŠright?
Hey! No distractions. Follow your orders.
That self-restraint didnât last for longâyou brought your courage with you to her office door. The designs were carefully carved into the wood, precise. It glided with a sharp creak, revealing her, with the same collected attitude.
You didnât want to look foolish, standing awkwardly, like some lost puppy.
Get yourself together.
Your expression relaxed into a more serious manner,
âAre you in need of something?â She raised an eyebrow, eyes scanning your every move. Did she know how intimidating she was? Maybe that was just in your head.
That simple look from her could melt you down into a puddle.
âWould you like to come with me to the garden?â You held your words at a confident levelânot allowing her beauty distract you.
An aspect in her expression softened, though it was incredibly subtle. She glanced back at the painting she was working on before turning back to you.
âThat would be nice,â she carefully stepped out of the room, hands held at her front. She was suspicious, understandably. The person who sheâs never talked suddenly invited her to talk.
But thatâs how you get to know someone, is it not?
The walk to the garden was silentâother than your footsteps echoing through the elongated halls.
âIâm sure weâve crossed paths.â She glanced at your face, side-profile highlighted by the bright lighting on the sun. She felt her heart do a strange skip.
âYou saw me training last night,â you informed quietly, keeping your eyes on the ground. âBut I donât really think that counts.â
You werenât good at this, conversation, even if you were trained to manipulate and deceive enemies on missions. Those skills couldnât be applied when it came to a pretty girl, apparently.
You know your father would be disappointed.
ââ
â
âMy mother is sending me to Piltover,â her words caught you off guard, your head snapped in her direction. âSheâs sending you away?â It couldnât be, what for? It didnât feel real.
Her eyes lowered to her fidgeting fingers. âSheâs noticed that Iâm not capable of following in her footsteps, Iâm too soft, too weak.â Ambessa isnât one to tolerate weakness, especially if itâs shown in her children. Sheâs hard on them because she wants them to succeed, even when itâs not presented in an ideal fashion. Itâs the Noxian way.
âWill you be back?â The question almost made her neutral demeanor falter. âI donât know,â it was unlike her to not have an answer. She always had answers.
âŠ
She didnât pack anything.
What would she need anyway?
She was starting a new life. Away from her mother, from you, from Kino.
That night, you didnât take a trip to her room. It was too much to bear.
ââ
â
The morning came too fast. Midnight blue morphed with rusty orange, layered on top of a sea of tangerine.
The sunrise would normally calm the troubled waters of your mind.
Todayâs routine was different
You watched from the sidelines, in the shadows, out of sight.
The ship settled at the docks, reds sails waving in the wind. Guards standing on each side, as still as statutes. Singular hand gripped onto the base of their spear.
She didnât speak, didnât give a glance back. Even then, she wouldnât see you. You wouldnât want her to, you didnât want to see the sad face sheâd make before the ship sailed away.
But the look she gave her mother was what cracked at your heart. One of muffled desperation, a final plea, a silent one. Yet nothing warm was sent back, only a stoic expression.
Thatâs the last time you saw her.
As she got further and further away.
ââ
â
The first few weeks in Piltover werenât the best.
Eyes laid on her wherever she stepped foot. An outsider she was.
Rumors spread as quick as a wildfire. Gossip shouldnât be in such a sophisticated environment, should it? Her question was answered whenever she encountered certain people. Not-so subtle expression of skepticism casted her way.
Part of her wishes you were here.
She doesnât even know you that well, but thatâs all she could think aboutâyour voice, face, body. She yearned. She needed you here, to support her, to whisper âitâll all be okay.â
Sheâs convinced that this is all a part of something bigger.
ââ
â
To your surprise, you were sent to Piltover for an assignment. Ambessa called you to a private meeting; you couldnât recall the last time you had one.
It was held in her office, a room of low lightingâsmelt of burnt wood shavings and melted steel. The scent was nearly suffocating, lodging itself inside your throat.
You were only able to breath when her voice echoed through the room.
âA man has threatened to jeopardize our nationâs secrets, putting us at risk for a potential conflict. You know what I expect, you will not disappoint me, am I correct?â She raised an eyebrow, looking down at you with an expression thatâd only mean one thing.
That you needed to do your mission: eliminate.
ââ
â
The ship sailed through the water, spurts of it splashing back onto your face.
The moment your black boots met Piltoverâs ground, it feltâŠforeign. This isnât where you belonged, maybe this is how Mel felt.
You secretly hoped youâd see her somehow.
But there she was, at one the many events held in the estate; standing
Light reflected off her olive green eyes, sprinkled with the faintest of gold. Smiling thinly at those who talked to her, having little to no interest in what they were saying.
Though she did have a small laugh with a brunette woman who stood beside herâthey looked natural next to each other. You couldnât help but feel a small burn in your chest. Jealousy. Your lip couldnât help but curl into a sneerânose turning up with it.
Why should you care?
A deep exhale escaped as you turned to focus on the target. You imaged a big red X on his back, excluding him from the crowd as to track him down easier.
You creeped out of the estate, scanning the surrounding area. Few people were ever out at night, making it the perfect time.
You slowly slid the sword out your holder. You were stealthy. A panther creeping up on its prey before jumping to strike.
The blade sliced into fleshâcompleting a clean cut. Blood stained the blade, clinging to its metal. His body immediately fell to the floor, throat sliced open.
Youâve gotten used to the sight of blood and bodies, it was your job as so. Why wouldnât you be used to it? As if the amount of times youâve seen it mattered. There were scarce moments in which you questioned yourselfâwhy take the lifes of others even if they deserved it?
Why do I do this?
It was haunting.
Youâve blocked it outâabandoned in the back of an endless stream of guilt.
Thereâs no need for you to feel guiltyâthis is whatâs good for Noxus. It is whatâs best for the nation. What you were born to do.
ââ
â
The war.
Youâve seen it once before, Noxus and Ionia, it was devastating.
Thatâs the day you said goodbye to your father, saw as he walked away despite your cries. You didnât see the tears in his eyes as he disappeared into battle. The ash.
His body wasnât even recovered. And thatâs when you realized that his legacy was now on you. No longer your name, but the Generalâs daughter.
Youâd taken his words to heart.
âAlways fight for Noxus,
No other nation will take our pride.â
ââ
â
She lookedâŠdifferent. Her locs, which would usually be in an updo, now trailed down her back in a ponytail. Baby hairs twirled along the top sides of her Golden markings traced her forehead, jaw, nose. She wore red and black noxian attire.
She looked up, not recognizing you in the fit of the moment, but then her eyes widened. âYouâŠâ there was caution in her tone, âYouâre here.â You gave a nod, not sure how to express how you felt seeing her again. âYeahâŠyeah, I am.â
You walked towards where she sat, slightly hesitant. Putting the sniper down, against the bench, you sat down with a sigh.
The two of you sat in silence.
âMy condolences,â you spoke softly, looking at the golden mask she held in her hands. She hummed in acknowledgment, staring down at it.
âI didnât want to be like her, a killerâŠâ the words trailed off, her mouth pressing into a thin line. âBut it seems as though I proved myself wrong.â A crack interrupted her sentence, but she didnât pay any mind, hoping you wouldnât either.
âI never wanted violence, I never wanted to fight, thatâs why I was never ideal to her.â She shook her head, tears threatening to fall.
From the corner of her eye, she could see your sympathetic expression. âNow I have no one.â
âYou have me,â Your hand twitched to touch hers but you held back. âIâm here for you, as a friend.â It was painful for you to say, you two werenât friends, there was a tension that lingered. There always has been.
She lightly furrowed her brows, âAm I sure I know you anymore? Itâs been years, you surely arenât the same person.â You couldnât havenât changed that much, could you?
âŠ
She canât trust anyone.
Can she?
Mel was confused, desperate to find the pieces to this puzzle. Ever since she was trapped in thatâŠthat prison, she feels that everyone around her isnât real. That itâs just a deception, a trick to get to her.
âI know itâs been a while,â you werenât exactly the best at consolation, (at least thatâs what you thought). âI canât promise you that I havenât completely changed butâŠitâs not for the worst.â You said it slowly, thinking over each word as it came out. âIâm not that different, I donât believe so.â
She believed you, a big part of her didâbut there was that pesky area of her brain that didnât. She internally decides that sheâs grateful for you to be back.
ââ
â
She invited you to her room for some wine, though you didnât drink. She just wanted your company, not that sheâd admit that aloud. She took a sip from her cup, legs crossed in a professional manner; sat in a chair across the room, looking out the window.
Nothing was said, you wanted to say something but werenât sure itâd come out right. The silence was too deafening. A question wouldnât be so bad, right?
âDid you..umâwhat was he to you?â You hesitatly asked as the words caused her to pause.
She didnât look at you, once again, staring at the deep ruby beverage in her glass. It swished with every move she made.
âI loved him.â
That didnât shock you. The way she spoke so quietly, so timidly, did. You didnât know a single thing about their relationship other than the fact they were in one.
She clearly loved him.
Does she love me the way she loved him?
The thought popped up, unwanted.
No, no, thatâs ridiculous. Stop.
âIn my own way, I..â she tried to find the right words to say, to explain herself. She couldnât. How could she love him but not explain it?
Had she ever loved him at all?
She did, very deeply.
She had admit, part of her still loved you, but s
âItâs okay, I meanâI shouldnât have asked that.â You backtracked with a reassuring smile. âIâm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.â
She gave the smallest smile back, somewhat comforted. She couldnât help but feel guilty, she loved Jayce yet couldnât get over you all those years. Now that sheâs face to face with you, she still canât find herself to express her feelings.
ââ
â
But it seemed that with being far apart for so many years brought you closer. Each new interaction made you notice things you hadnât before.
She never really smiled fully, only a thin line among her lips. You hoped one day thatâd change, youâd see a glimpse of genuine happiness.
The way her eyes widened, a kitten-like expression. You never realized how much her soft features resembled a felineâs. Despite the title of a âwolfâ or âfox,â she seemed to be opposite.
And it was the day youâd went into the Piltovian gardens did she decided to justâŠ
To just tell you.
âI love you.â
It was quite sudden, and your voice faded out in the middle of the sentence you were forming.
The silence that followed made her want to desperately hide into a hole. Oh noâŠgoodness this was a bad ideaâI made it weird now.
âI love you too.â
When she saw the smile on your face, it was as if the sun was shining bright in her view.
Her hand smoothed over your cheek, which you leaned into. âWhen did you know?â She looked over your features. âSince the day I saw you,â you smiled, eyes closed.
ââ
â
On top of the sheets, warm hands delicately trailed down her body. The tips of your fingers draw patterns, squiggles, jagged lines.
Your cheek was pressed against the soft skin of her stomach. It was so comfortable, you felt at peace; something you havenât felt in a while. One of her hands went to rest on your napeârubbing the small hairs. It led you to sigh in relief, your body turning to mush at her touch.
She smiled down at you, eyes full of adoration. You were here, after years of separation. All her dreams of you, wrapped up in her arms, finally became real.
âYouâre so beautiful,â you murmured as you kissed her waist, stretch marks danced down her hips. Youâve yearned to see her like this, in all her glory.
Her eyes were half-lidded and tired, but she was grateful at the sight of you. The feeling of your rather chapped lips on her skin.
One of her hands came up to your jaw, manicured nails caressed the edges. A shiver crawled up your spineâthis was heaven.
âSo are you.â No doubt or hesitation in her voice as she stared into the depths of your eyes. Her words were so simple, yet it made your heart raceâpounding heavily against your chest.
âIâm glad that I found you again..â you shakily sighed out. An intense wave suddenly crashed down onto shore. A burning sensation creeped at the bottom of your throat, slowly rising like smoke from a campfire. You focused on taking controlled breathes, inhaling deeply through your nose before exhaling from your mouth. The actions didnât go unnoticed, and her head tilted to the side in order to fully see your face.
The corner of your eyes started to get red, shying away from her gaze. A sting settled; unblinking eyes welled up with tears that refused to fall, staring at a wall to avoid it all.
âDarling, whatâs wrong?â Her volume was of a mouse, way quiter than her usual leveled voice. It was gentle. You didnât say anything, staying still in the comforting position.
She chose not to pressure you, instead kneading at your biceps, in slight awe at how much strength was in the palm of her hand. You certainly had gained more muscle since sheâd last seen youânot thin per say, but not as brawny. Then again, you were teenagers at that time.
âWere we always made for each other?â The words crinkled at the weight of your emotions as they spilled from your mouth.
Despite her concern, that question made her smile. âThe Gods knew weâd find our way backâŠweâre soul tied.â You finally looked up at her. âSoulmates?â You asked uncertainly. âSoulmates.â She was so sure, a contrast to the unknowing words she uttered when announcing her departure.
And with that, she smiledâŠreally smiled. Porcelain teeth shining in the darkness of the room.
She was always yours, destined.
You couldâve gone back to Noxus, moved on, but you couldnâtânot with her in mind.
No wonder you came crawling back.
A/N: I deeply apologize to the anon that requested this, it took way too longđ. I havenât written fics this long so itâs a bit complicated.

They can never make me hate her, NEVER.
Warning: Cute, cutie and cuteness
This woman does NOT know how to relax. During her time as senator-elect, sheâd be going back and forth with paperwork, interviews and speeches.
âTaissa,â you sighed out as you walked into her office, seeing her eyes firmly locked on paperwork. âYes, love?â She asked without giving you a glance. âCome to bed, Iâm not telling you again,â the firm tone of your voice made her falter just a little bit. âIâd love to butâââItâs not a choice. Come to bed.â She rolled her eyes, she could handle all-nighters, but you wouldnât let that pass. âFine,â she muttered, neatly stacking the papers in order before getting up from her chair, back aching from her previously slouched posture. Once she felt your hand rest against the sore spot, her tense body relaxed.
Is very affectionate. On the outside sheâs this composed, serious, and professional woman, which she is. She isnât afraid to be affectionate in public, you are her wife, and she isnât hiding that.
Whenever sheâs super stressed out, you give her a nice warm bubble bath.
She leaned back against the tub, sinking into the warm water. It felt too hot on her skin, nearly scolding, but she didnât have the energy to speak on it. You lowered yourself into the tub, across from her. âComfortable?â You asked softly, concerned at her quietness. She simply nodded, and that was all you needed. There were many times where she would dissociate, lost in her own head, watching her body from the outside. She stared at the ripples of the water as you continued to move. It was quiet, neither of you minded.
The biggest yearner in the world, maybe even more than Shauna, weâve seen it.
Lowkey canât cook âcause sheâs always tired and if you canât either then oh well. Youâll be surviving on frozen meals and takeout for as long as you can. Otherwise, she makes a mean Alfredo pasta (yes, that specifically).
Absolutely loves talking you any and everywhere. She will show you the whole worldâespecially if you mention a country you want to go to, baby, she already packed your bags and booked them tickets.
Has a fear of planes, for the obvious reason. But she had to get used to not only traveling in the car. Besides, she has you.
Her eyes were closed, taking controlled breaths. She opened them back up, staring at the view from her window. The buildings and greenery of the ground were long gone, all that remained was the blueness of the ocean and the transparency of the clouds. She couldnât help but think back to looking out the window in the beginning moments of the crash. It was all blurred out, the acceleration increasing as the plane continued to fall and fall, they hit the groundâshe took a sharp intake of air. She felt a squeeze of her hand, looking down to see your hand on top of hers. She wasnât there, she was here, with you. Nothing was going to happen.
Confused half of the timeâespecially with the things she hears from Shauna and Misty, plain insanity.
Self-care queen, (take 3x06 as an example), after impeaching herself, she actually started to let herself relax. Imagine the shock you felt when she suggested that you two have a spa-day.
âUmâŠare you okay?â She asked cautiously as she saw you frozen in place. âWhat did you just say?â You muttered, eyes wide and searching hers, to see if she was possibly joking. âIf we can have a spa-day?â She repeated her earlier question, next thing you know, sheâs being squeezed like sheâd disappear on spot. Despite her confusion, she hugged you back, semi-lanky arms wrapped around your shoulders.

Some of the yellowjackets girls piss me off now and then, but they could never make me hate any one of them I stand by women's rights and wrongs. I don't know why people watch the show if they're not ready to feel empathy for deeply flawed and morally dubious/irredeemable characters like go watch something else and leave us alonneeeee.
#the whole reason I like them is BECAUSE of how insane and unstable they are#and why are we moralizing people who are going insane?#none of them have pissed me offâŠyet#it takes a lot for me to actually make me feel some type of way with them#surprisingly#yellowjackets

Genuine question: Why do people ignore Taissaâs character?
I do have friends to talk to about her but when it comes to the general fandom, I donât see much. I also do not see much about about Taivan, nor Tai & Simone, compared to non-canon ships in the show (which I do not understand AT ALL).
Sheâs my absolute favorite character and the fact she gets so little coverage kinda bothers meâI hope at least some people feel the same way I do!

I love Vander, but you cannot talk about VIâs trauma without understanding that a huge part of it comes from his âitâs on youâ speech. That one conversation encapsulates VIâs struggle as a character and explains so many of her decisions.
Vi feels the same guilt Jinx does for the deaths of her family, because it was âall on her.â She gets out of prison and discovers her sister is a murderer (gleefully so in the fight against the Firelights where Vi sees her smiling while shooting at them)âthatâs on her too. Jinx confirms it during the tea party scene (though I still think that speech gets a bit misinterpreted, including by Vi).
So, we come into the second season and VIâs sister, for whom she feels responsibleâthe âmonster she createdââhas blown up the council, which includes the mother of someone Vi cares deeply about/is falling in love with. In VIâs head, sheâs still thinking âyou donât get to be selfish. Whatever happens, itâs on you.â So, she has to do whatever she can to keep Jinx from hurting more people. She has blood on her hands (in her mind) for every person Jinx kills.
None of that is âcharacter assassination.â I think people think about Vanderâs speech and Vi taking responsibility for Powder from just the perspective of âprotect the family,â but itâs so much more complicated than just that. Itâs also very much a reflection of Vi fulfilling the classic oldest daughter role. Plenty of oldest siblings are familiar with getting the blame for the younger sibling because âyou should have stopped them.â
And so part of her journey as a character is her learning to let go of that feeling because itâs not only bad for her, but itâs a controlling mindset when it comes to Jinx. And we see Vi struggle with this. Her first instinct is to try to go by herself to stop Jinx. Then she tries to convince herself that Jinx isnât her sister, so sheâs not responsible for herâbut we can tell she doesnât really believe it. Then she finally starts to learn to accept Jinx for who she is and treat her more as an equal than her childâhence Jinxâs surprise at being asked her opinion on what they should do.
Do I personally wish we got more focus on Vi? Always. Sheâs my favorite character. I always want more. But I donât think she was underwritten, poorly written, or had suffered character assassination. I also donât think her struggle makes her a bad sister.
And I think itâs so telling for Vi and her trauma that, in the end, she couldnât let go of Vander. Because she could never let go of him and his expectations for her. And that is both a blessing and a curse for her. It gives her motivation to keep fighting, but weighs her down with responsibility.
People like to argue VIâs trauma is mostly centered around Piltover and enforcers, but, while those arenât a nonfactor, neither has such a hold on her as that conversation with Vander.
And BTW, me saying all this about VIâs character doesnât mean I think her entire character is about Jinx. Iâm just talking specifically about her trauma. Her story is also about falling in love and what that level of vulnerability can lead to.

Pairing: Caitvi x Reader
Summary: Making your girlfriends crochet gifts for Valentine's Day <3
The strongest scent in the room derived from the book that Vi was reading. It smelt of vetiver, a smoky, earthy aroma that blessed your nose. âThe Adventures of Harden,â sheâd been reading it for a whileâthat huge chunky novel mustâve been filled with a butt ton of action.
Caitlyn was busy in a council meeting, sheâd gone back to announce her departure despite her inner confliction. She needed a break from everything, to not have so much weight on her shoulders for once in her life. Vi was the one to have done most of the convincing, sheâs good at itânot very surprising.
âWhatâs happening as of now?â You asked Vi as you looked at the block on text from behind her. She leaned her head back to look up at you, âHuh?â
You gestured to the book, âIn here, whatâs happening?â Suddenly, all the deep knowledge sheâs memorized in this book was gone with a poof. She scratched the mop of pink hair atop of her head, âIâuh, donât remember, sorry,â You feigned a disappointmented sigh, resting your head on her shoulder.
âDid you really wanna know?â Her tone was near concerned, as if afraid that you actually were disappointed. You couldnât help the smile that spread across your face, âIâm just jossinâ.â She visibly looked relieved, exhaling a breath. âWhat, scared I was sad to not hear your nerdiness?â The teasing tone in your voice made her quietly groan but not retort.
A part of her was a bit suspicious, just in general, she knew Valentineâs Day was coming upâand that you had to be planning something. But what? It could be anything, you had many talents. She internally scolded herself as to not think about it too much, though she couldnât deny the excitement bubbling up inside.
ââ
â
The floor creaked under weight of your feet as you walked through the hallway, headed towards your crochet room.
With how huge the Kiramman mansion was, many rooms went unused, simply labeled as guest or storage, this being one of them. When Caitlyn noticed that crochet was one of your prominent hobbies, she offered for you to use any room youâd like.
You specifically chose this one for itâs beauty.
Sunlight shined through the one large window on the left side of the room, lighting up the darkest parts of the room. The view outside of that very window, ships coming from different areas to land at their docks; the tall buildings constructed by genius minds.
Piltoverâs beauty never failed to amaze you.
Your crochet equipment was neatly settled on the wooden oak table. As you sat on the black rolling chair, the kitten-like figures were what you decided to work on first. You could only think about your girlfriendsâhow you saw them, but in a more adorable form.
You looped the black yarn with the hooked needle, each small thread tightening together like bonded atoms. Throughout the past hour, you slowly worked your way up. Adding on a small strawberry hat to it, with specks of white as seeds and itâs green leaf top.
On to the next, not muchh different, other than colors. The white yarn was a stark contrast from the blackâand instead of a strawberry hat, a blueberry one. The star-shaped pattern on the top to represent the calyx.
âŠ
You carefully cut the loose string that hung next to the eye. Perfection. Crafted with your bare handsâto say you were only proud was an understatement.
ââ
â
You couldnât hold the absolute joy you felt when you entered the living room with the box. Giving anything to the ones you loved was the best gift that you could ever receive; you were excited for their reactions too. You waited up to this moment to show something specialâwith meaning, non-verbally announcing your love for them. Itâs not that you couldnât say âI love youâ out loud (well, maybe), but you didnât wanna just say it without showing it as well.
Theyâve never received crocheted gifts before, itâs not that common of a hobby. That was even more of a reason for you to make it.
ââ
â
âWhat is this I see?â Caitlyn raised an eyebrow at the mysterious brown box. Vi peeked from beside herâsimilar to a cat; curious, eyes trained onto the box like itâd disappear in seconds. She made her way closer before you lightly pushed her back, âYou will see what it is, be patient.â You shook your head in amusement at her eagerness.
The moment you pulled them out, Caitlynâs eyes widened, along with Viâs jaw nearly dropping to the floor.
Vi took the figure as if it were porcelain, as if her hands were so rough that itâd break it so easily. âNo way,â she whispered, inspecting every detail.
Tears started to well up in her eyes as she stared down at the plush. âItâsâŠitâsâthank you,â her laugh was watery as she hugged you, brawny arms squeezing you tight.
Valentines Day was barely celebrated in Zaun, but she remembered when Powder would make her tiny gadgets or trinkets. To her, it was more than she could act for, even if those things were now destroyed, still laid in a pile of dust and debris.
Caitlyn was speechless, staring at hers in shock; the little baby blue streaks mixed into the white yarn, the navy blue hat matching her own hair.
This wasâŠsweet.
Sweet as honey; straight from the source. The most wonderful project sheâd ever seenâbetter than any architecture or design thatâs been brought to her.
She couldnât help but join in on the hug as well, her face burying itself deep into your neck. Where she felt safe.
Theyâd surely cherish this forever.
ââ
â
Bonus moment:
She closed her eyes and hugged the crocheted kitten, âIâm gonna name him Barry.â She announced to the both of you, feeling content. Caitlyn looked up from her own kitten, âAs in âberry?â Wow, creative.â She nodded, amused.
âŠ
That night, as the moon was up and the stars were outâyour loves were fast asleep. Caitlyn was curled in on herself, legs near her mid-section, arms rested underneath her head. Vi, however, had her arms wrapped around Caitlynâs waist, cheek pressed against the soft of her back. Barry was squished in between.
A/N: The idea of crocheting is so cute to me but I donât know how tođ
