Vincente carried me in his arms, I couldn't help but look at him.
"Yes? I can feel your eyes on me.."
"Nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Listen, about yesterday-.."
"No. I don't really want to talk about it."
"If that's what you want." He opens the door to my room and puts me down on the bed.
"I'll see you later."
"Vincente, wait.."
"Yes?"
"Just because I don't want to talk doesn't mean I want you to leave."
"It'll just be awkward if I'm here."
"How?"
"It's obvious you're upset. If I stay it'll make it worse. I don't want to make you uncomfortable. Good night." I grab his wrist and pull him towards me.
"Vincente, just stay with me, please?"
"Alright." He sits down on the bed and I look at him. I put my arms around him and lay my head on his shoulder.
"You need to lay down."
"But you're going to leave."
"No I wont."
"How do I know that not a lie?"
"I've done all the things I said I would do to you like...- "
"I think we should lay down." I lay down and he wraps his arms around me. He takes a deep breath and puts his hand on my back.
"Go to sleep."
"I don't want to."
"I guess I'll make you go to sleep."
"And how would you do that?"
"We'll, I have a few ideas. You get pretty tired after a few rounds, so.."
"Okay, I think we should sleep."
"If you say so." He puts his glasses to the side and puts a blanket over me. He kisses me and then closes his eyes. I turn off the lamp and hug him back.
*In the Morning*
[Sage]
I open the door to Zara's room, which is surprisingly, unlocked. I look over to my left to see her on the bed next to Chamber. I know it's against the Valorant protocol, but I've know they were together for quite a while. She's so sweet, I think she deserves to be happy, that's why I haven't said anything.
"Zara, wake up. I need to change your bandages."
Zara: "Huh?"
"Sit up." She sits up and lifts her shirt a little. I carefully unwrap the bandages and replace them.
"Okay, just take it easy today." She looks to her other side and suddenly remembers that there is a man next to her.
Zara: "I- I can explain this. We didn't do anything, it's just that-"
"It's fine. I've known. If he makes you happy and doesn't interfere with your work, it's fine."
Zara: "What gave it off?"
"Well, you wearing his sweater, both of you with each other all the time, him leaving your room in the morning, a healer wakes up very early by the way. Just the basics."
Zara: "Oh. I appreciate you not telling anybody. If you ever need a favor, you can ask me. And thank you for the bandages."
"No problem." I leave the room and go on with my day.
[Zara/You]
I get up and take off my shirt. I look inside my bag to see what other shit I should wear today.
"Vincente, I know you're staring at me, I'm standing in front of a mirror."
"No shame in my game."
"Yeah, okay, anyway, what shirt should I wear?"
"Not the red one, only I should be able to see you in that. Maybe the black one?"
"Okay." I sit down at the edge of the bed and fix my hair. I feel his arms on my shoulders.
"You look good."
"Thank you."
"What are you getting ready for?"
"The day."
"I'll take you out somewhere. Let's go."
"Where?"
"Anywhere."
We're walking down the streets of Split, it's completely empty. I'm not surprised, this city used to be beautiful and lively, now it's just dead because of Kingdom. Chamber holds my hand, he makes sure not to let go.
"We should be careful around here, none of us have been in this part of Split before. I nod my head and keep walking. I let go of his hand and look around.
"Zara, don't wander off, it's dangerous. You're already hurt enough, if something else happens I don't know what I'd do."
"Okay. What are we doing here anyway?"
"To be honest, I don't know myself. Let's just see what there is to do around this part."
"I see a little tea shop over there.. it's already getting late, though."
"We can take a little detour. I don't think anybody will notice."
"Sage might, she already knows about us."
"Makes sense. Same with Cypher. Brimstone was getting suspicious about us, I told him I was teaching you French as a way to cope with the loss of your only family."
"French? You're teaching ME french?"
"That's what Brimstone thinks."
"You really are something, Vincente. Let's head inside." We both walk inside and look around. It's a small shop with very little space. The owner is sitting at the counter drinking some tea, she pays no attention to us. The lighting is dim, we walk up to the counter and the owner looks up.
"Tea for sale, 3 coppers." We both look up at each other. We don't say any words, but by looking at his eyes I can tell what he's saying.
"Coppers?"
"Yes, 3."
"Alright. 2 green teas please." The owner takes the coppers and puts them into her pouch. She goes to the back and pours some tea into the cups. She walks back to the counter and slides it to us.
"Thank you." We take our tea and sit on the bench outside.
"Do you like the tea, Vincente?"
"It's nice." I look down at my cup and realize how late it is. Vincente scoots closer to me, he can see that I'm cold.
"Here, put this on." He takes off his sweater and puts it on me.
"What about you? Won't you be cold?"
"I'll be fine. How are you feeling?"
"I feel okay. You should finish your tea before it gets cold." Vincente nods his head and lays his head in my shoulder.
