Afloat (Vi x OC)- Arcane: League of Legends

14

WARNING: Slight smut

Wren leans against the wall next to Caitlyn as she holds onto her stomach in pain, "Will you guys be okay?" Vi asks as she lowers Caitlyn to the ground. Wren looks up at her and nods. She's had worse than this before.

"I'll be alright," Caitlyn breathes out. Wren watches as Vi runs back towards where the bomb came from. Her eyes shift down in worry for Ekko, "He'll be alright," Caitlyn says, "He's a fighter,"

"I know," Wren whispers, "He just... didn't use to be," She mutters to herself. Caitlyn looks at her with sadness. Caitlyn grabs the canister that Ekko passed to her and opens it.

"No," She whispers. Wren turns her head to see that the Gemstone is gone, "It was all for nothing,"

Wren pulls her head back against the wall, "Fuck!" She yells. Punching the wall as she closes her eyes. Caitlyn jumps slightly, but says nothing of it.

Vi turns back towards the girls, her eyes glossy, "We have to get off the streets," She says, "And somewhere we can patch you guys up,"

"I know a place," Caitlyn says. Vi nods and helps her off the ground. Wren grabs Caitlyn's other arm and throws it around her neck to support her as they walk through the streets of Piltover, avoiding enforcers.

When they reach the house, Wren recognizes it as Caitlyn's place. Vi goes first, opening the window and surveying the area. When she sees it's clear, she signals Wren to pass Caitlyn to her. Once Caitlyn is up, Vi reaches her hand down to Wren. Wren lets out a sigh as she jumps up, grunting in pain as Vi lifts her through the window. Wren again puts Caitlyn's arm around her, as she and Vi support her weight.

"Who lives here? Another councillor friend of yours?" Vi asks. Wren snorts which makes Vi look at her with a questioning look. Caitlyn is about to explain but someone kicks open the door as a gun is pointed to them.

The three girls all wear different shocked faces, "Caitlyn?" Mrs.Kiraman says.

"Oh, we were so worried! Thank goodness you're safe!" Mr. Kiraman says, running over to his daughter and taking her away from the two Undercity girls to give her a hug.

"And you found a stray," Mrs. Kiraman says. She turns to Wren and her eyebrows furrow, "Oh, you're back," She says in a displeased tone. Vi rolls her eyes at yet another reminder that her new friend and old crush had a relationship while she was locked away.

Wren gives Mrs. Kiraman a guilty smile, "Hi, Mrs. Kiraman," She mutters, "Nice to see you again,"

"Just like deja vu," Caitlyn's mom mutters. Wren turns red, muttering not exactly under her breath as Caitlyn turns to her mother.

"This is Vi. She and Wren are from the Undercity," She explains.

"So I see," Mrs. Kiraman says, "Could we have a word, Caitlyn?" Caitlyn lets out a sigh as she gives Vi and Wren a sorry look. Mrs. Kiraman looks at Wren and sighs, "There's a first aid kit in Caitlyn's bathroom. Try not to get blood on the carpet," Wren nods, limping towards the bathroom as Caitlyn and her family leave the room.

Wren finds the first aid kit as Vi looks around Caitlyn's room. Her eyes stop on a few pictures on Caitlyn's dresser. There, a photo of Wren and Caitlyn sit. This was obviously a few years ago, Wren doesn't have her face tattoo. They're smiling.... both look happy. Vi's eyes move towards Wrens hand and notices that it's before she got the metal hand. Just a nub sits at the end of her arm.

Vi picks up the photo and turns it around. In neat writing, it says Wren before surgery! Vi turns it back around and puts the photo down. Jealousy creeps up her throat as her anger starts to increase. She walks towards the bathroom, her face still slightly red. She stops when she sees Wren standing there, without a shirt on trying to clean her wound. Vi's face softens when Wren turns to her and gives her a soft smile.
