Hazbin/Helluva Ink Edition: Book of Amore

Questionnaire (Vivian x Sydney)

Sydney: Hey, Viv?

Vivian and Sydney were within the Siren's bedroom at the Hotel, the two of them simply spending time together since they couldn;t really do anything big because of their age. They looked up from the spell book she'd been reading, which sat on the lap of her girlfriend Sydney, who was sitting across Vivian's lap. Barely any sunlight streamed in through the window looking out into the chilly Pentagram City, though the two girls sat in Vivian's nicely heated room, which kept them warm. The fact that they were sharing body heat via cuddling probably helped too. It had become something of a ritual for them since they started dating for the two of them to snuggle and read together, Vivian usually either studying magic or one of her fandom western manga novels, while Sydney simply read stereotypical teen magazines,

Vivian: Yeah?

Sydney: Can I....... Can I ask you something? Something kinda personal?

Vivian: Oh! Uh, sure, I don;t mind. What's up, Syd?

The serpentine hesitated, but took a deep breath and asked her question.

Sydney: When did you realize that you were a lesbian?

Vivian: .........Well, that was unexpected.

Sydney: Oh, sorry.

Vivian: h, don;t be. I had a feeling thi question would come eventually. You see,my whole life, I was never really interested in boys. Even when other girls my age grew out of the 'boys have cooties' phase, I just remained neutral towards them. This was back when I was with my ilder sisters. You knw, Beldam and Marylin?

Sydney: Yeah, you told me about them. I'm gonna need to fuck them up one of these days.

Vivian: Please don;t, my Dad already beat you to it. Anyway, I would overhear them talk about which guys were the hottest- musicians, movie stars, random demons on the street - I just never saw the appeal. But with girls though, I always admired how pretty they could be. Whenever I'd manage to sneak out and watch, like, a Disney movie for example, I could never look away when one of their princesses was on screen. Everything about them just appealed to me in ways that boys never did........ Don;t tell my Dad about this.

Sydney: *smirks* I don;t know what you're talking about.

Vivian: *smiles* Okay... So then when I was around 7, there was this moment when... *blushes* Promise you won't laugh?

Sydney: Of course I won't.

Vivian smiled at this before she nodded and took a deep breath.

Vivian: Well, Beldam made us rob an art museum for cash and we were trying to find the most valuable piece. She then told me to find a painting to steal, which I never wanted to do. I was looking through all the classic paintings when I came across The Birth of Venus.

Sydney: The what?

Vivian: The Birth of Venus. We literally studied about that in art history yesterday. You know, the one of the Roman goddess of love rising out of the ocean on a seashell. She has long red hair and she's... not wearing anything?

Sydney: Oh- OH! Ohhh, that painting! Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about. Wait, so what happened after that?

Vivian: Oh, I told Beldam and she made it Punishment Time, so I obviously got beat. But when I got adopted and Uncle Angel and I talked, I told him how I felt about girls and he explained everything. He was really supportive and he helped me come out.

Sydney: Oh, that's pretty cool of him. So, this all started because of a painting?

Vivian: Yup. I found myself staring and staring and staring, and at that moment something just... clicked in my brain.

Sydney looked at her partner, only to gain a mischievous idea and batted her eyes playfully at Vivian.

Sydney: Aw Vivi~, are you saying I'm more beautiful than a goddess~?

Vivian: *blushes* I-I-I guess I am. I mean, I don't mean to be disrespectful to the gods or aything but-...... *sigh* Yeah, I guess I am. What about you, Sydney? I never took you as someone to go with romance. Mind telling me how you found out you were Pan? If not, that's fine, I'm just curious.

Sydney: No it's okay. To be honest, I... don;t know. Being honest, I don;t even think I'm Pan? Maybe? It's weird; I don't dislike the idea of being with a boy, a girl, or a non-binary, but I can't really picture myself with just anyone. It's only when I'm with you that I actually feel so amazing, Vivian.

This caused the Siren to ponder for a moment, before she said what could be the solutiom to her girlfriend's problem.

Vivian: Well, you could always be Demisexual.

Sydney: Demi-what?

Vivian: Demisexual. Uncle Angel and my Mom told me about it. It's kind of this gray area between sexuality and asexuality. Demisexual people aren't really attracted to just anyone; they have to form an emotional connection before feelings start to bloom. It's also compatible with being straight, gay, bi, pan, or anywhere else on the sexuality spectrum. It's all pretty fluid.

The serpentine smiled at her girlfriend, nodding along with the mini lecture.

Sydney: You sure know a lot about this stuff, don't you?

Vivian: Well you know, since pretty much everyone I know is semi-gay, I did a lot of research. Plus my Dad did help me realize I'm non-binary.

Sydney: Hmm. Demisexual, huh? Well, if I can only be attracted to people I really have a connection with, then that sounds about right. After all, I have a connection with you.

She leaned up, catching Vivian off guard with a surprise squeeze. The pnk haired girl giggled and melted into the embrace. While Sydney had received some new information about her possible orientation, she still wasn't a hundred percent sure what exactly she was. But as long as she was happy with Vivian, it really didn't matter.

They hugged for a few more seconds before moving away from each other a few inches and looking each other in the eye. A warm feeling filled them both as Vivian and Sydney inched their faces closer and closer, before Vivian stopped as she npoticed something out the window.

Vivian: Are you fucking filming us right now?!

And indeed, Bendy was outside the window with his cellphone, recording the entire thing. Bendy nrvously smiled and shrugged before suddenly falling to the ground, causing Vivian to groan in embarrassment and Sydney to chuckle to herself.

Yep. She couldn;t have gotten a better girlfriend.

THE END
