arcane one shots

competition (caitlyn x reader)

(y/n) pov

today was the big day
out of all my competitions with other enforcers today was my infamous competition with the kirammans daughter.

caitlyn kiramman

it's not like we were total strangers. we knew each other because of our parents connections. even knowing her for some time i kinda developed a tiny crush on her.

she's just cute that's all..
and smart..
strong..
hot-

i slap myself from my daydreaming as i hear my mother screaming from downstairs
'(y/n)! get ready. we're leaving in 5!'
'ok! be there in a min'
i sigh as i look at the mirror and fix my collar and fix the position on my rifle on my bag

30min later..
when all of us arrived they didn't waste time to assign us to our station and our opponents.
i ready up my rifle and start to warm up

my warm ups consists of just walking around the waiting room, moving my arms around and contemplating life.
i did like 5 minutes of each of these
hitting my head gently against my rifle i see someone standing in front of me

'you good there (y/n)?'
caitlyn said folding her arms looking down at me as i hit my forehead with my rifle
'never better.' i say stopping and looking up at her
'good. now we better get going, our match is after this one ends'

she offers me her hand. i take it gently but she pulls me back up.
giving me a confident smile, i follow her outside outside the waiting room

they positioned us 40 meter away from each other. i see the watch on my hand and aim my rifle forward where the target would appear.
this took a few seconds, on the meantime all i could do was concentrate my breathing and forget the eerie feeling this forest always gave me.

the target appears and we both shoot at the same time.
the flapping if the birds flying matched my steps.
this circuit seemed much more harder than the other ones. this one you had to use strategy, dodging and sliding.

there were some traps around the spots where i had to slide through. this would kinda mess me up most of the times.
but nonetheless, i kept going forward.
even if i didn't win i wasn't going to give up so easily.

as i arrive i see the ending part.
there were 3 other targets on the floor.
i had no idea which one was going to appear first.
i start shaking over the tension around the atmosphere.

the target finally appears.
i shoot.
i take a few deep breaths but it was obvious that my shot was delayed a few seconds back from caitlyn.

i lay down on the leafy floor as i look over at caitlyn.
we make eye contact for a few seconds after i break it if looking at my foot that had a few traps trapped around it.
i try to take it off but i just looked to the other side.
annoyed at my performance.

i played second place in the competition.
i was sure to put up a big fake smile.
either way, no one didn't even saw my injured leg or didn't even ask me.
'i just want to go back home..'
i said drinking from my bottle
'(y/n), the kirammans invited us to their house. get your stuff ready'
'mm. cool'
i roll my eyes as i get up limping toward my bag.

as we arrive i take a few seconds to look up and around.
here i though my house was big
this is on a whole new level
'well (y/n), you certainly improved since the last time we've seen you in action'
mrs. kiramman looked at me while sipping from her cup of tea
'oh.. thanks' i gave her a tiny smile while hiding my injured leg behind the other one
'uhm excuse me.. may you please tell me where the bathroom?'
mr. kiramman looks around, maybe looking for caitlyn 'well since caitlyn isn't here, it's on the second floor. take a left and the first room you see to your right, darling' he smiles  at me.

'thank you' i smile back while i make my way up.
i was met with 2 rooms
'he said first room to my right so...'
i didn't even think of knocking on the door
which was my mistake

i felt my body stiffen up and my cheeks go red after seeing caitlyn removing her shirt.
'mom. how many time have i told you to knock-' she didn't finish the sentence as she looked at me shocked

'a-ah! SORRY. i didn't see anything!-'
i slam the door shut and put me hands on my eyes as i look down.
a minute passed and i still had my eyes covered. i was just filled with embarrassment.

i see as the door opens and a hand reaches out to grab my arm and pull me in the room.
i didn't have time to even react as caitlyn pulls me to the wall.
motioning me to lower my voice.

i stay still looking at her.
we were just.. very close.
she backed away as i look back at her
'i'm sorry for not knocking and just walking in.. i thought this was the bathroom. i swear i didn't see anything caitlyn' i said hysterically

'it's ok.. but really, knock next time'
she chuckled 'and cait is just fine'
'oh well, alright i guess. again i'm sorry'
she shrugged and moved her eyes down to my foot. and i moved my to her floor. it was covered in red string.. was she part of an investigation?

'hey what's that?-'
'you need to take care of that' she signaled to my foot
'yup.. do you have a first aid kit?'
she nodded and she sat me down on a chair and she made her way to find the kit.

i kept looking at the floor, there were a lot of photos and clues. it was all just information.
a few minutes later she came back with the kit and looked at me.
'cait what's all this? you part of an investigation?' i asked as i traced my eyes over to her
'i wish.. the sheriff, marcus he doesn't want to pick up any of my evidence i've shown him. just keeps scolding me to stay away from investigations... can i take a look at that?'
i slightly nod and the starts to take the bandages i had wrapped around my leg.

'this from today?' 'yeah.. tripped on a few traps'
'be more careful if your surroundings next time (y/n)'
'will do..'
i see as she gently wraps my new fresh bandage around my leg
'alright. good to go.'
i lean over to hear and pull her in a quick hug
'thanks cait, heh you actually cared about me'
she took a while to hug me back but she made sure to hug me back
'no problem (y/n)'

we both lay down in her humongous bed and keep talking, just getting to know each other.
this also meant my affection toward her growing..

'so how do you feel about your win today?'
'i don't care'
i was surprised if that answer. although she was never the type to show off her achievements toward us
'i only do it because my parents want me.. i don't really enjoy it that much. but today was fun'
she looked at me and sat up, i followed.

'you have to be more confident in yourself (y/n)'
i look at her eyes and look down
'i just lose motivation when no one really cares about my achievements.. i always get compared with good competitors like you.'
she raised my chin with her hands so i could look at her 'that's just nonsense. i don't usually care about these shitty competitions. i have to thank you because today i was actually inspired and motivated by you'

'(y/n) you're extraordinarily good at everything you do. don't let anyway take that away from you'

we look each other in the eyes, my face was blushed with pink. i don't break eye contact with her. i feel like i'm leaning in, after i notice this i backed away but she held me by my waist and held my up and before i could say anyway i was shut with a passionate kiss.

i don't know how to react so i do the same.
we were cut off with a knock at the door
'(y/n) your mother is calling you, we're leaving' i could recognize it was my dads voice

she lets me go and holds my hand leading me toward the door.
'so, do you want to go out tomorrow?'
caitlyn said letting go of my hand and opening the door
'i'd like that'

i gave her a warning smile as i leave.
gripping my chest as my face was still red after that moment

i look toward my watch and think to myself
'sure can't wait till' tomorrow..'

a/n:
happy new year everyone!
hope you all had good holidays with your loved ones! or reading wattpads. we don't judge here.
