A/N : Autistic!Caitlyn
"Hey" Vi said quietly as she entered the officer's bedroom. Caitlyn was sitting on the bed, wearing relaxed clothing (as she did whenever she was done with the duties of work each day). Her hands were in her lap, and she was fidgeting about with her fingers. She didn't look at Vi but gave a small nod to acknowledge that she knew she was there. Vi frowned at this, walking over and sitting next to her girlfriend. "Long day?"
"You could say that" Caitlyn muttered. Vi nodded in response, contemplating where to go from there.
"Can I touch you?" she asked, knowing how unpredictable the other woman could be with touch when she got like this. Sometimes, Caitlyn needed that physical comfort- The pressure, the grounding aspect, whatever. Other times, it only made her more overwhelmed.
"I'd rather you not" Caitlyn responded, her voice tense and a bit strained.
"Okay" Vi replied with a small smile. "Do you want me to close your curtains so it's darker in here?"
"Drapes..."
"Whatever" Vi responded to the correction with a chuckle. "Do you want me to close them?" A nod. "Okay"
Once that was done, the room was significantly darker. They could still see just fine, but the blinding light coming from the sun outside was gone. Vi sat next to the officer once again, trying to figure out how else she could help.
"Should I find you something to fidget with?" Another nod. "Okay. Uh... Oh!" she spotted this small plush of Jayce (ew) that was on her dresser. It was one of the promotional items that had been given out to draw more attention to Hextech. Caitlyn found it a little silly, but Jayce was her friend so she'd kept it. "The pretty boy" Vi said as she handed Caitlyn the plush, getting a tense but genuine laugh from her.
A few minutes passed, Caitlyn just fidgeting with the small item to calm herself down while Vi waited patiently. Eventually, the worst of the stress was gone, and they were both just relieved that they'd had this moment before it spiraled into something worse.
"Neither of us have work for the rest of the day" Vi finally broke the silence, looking over at her girlfriend. "Do you want to just stay in here? Decompress? Whatever else you topsiders do to relax?" she asked, gaining a smile from the other girl.
"I'd like that"
