Arcane Oneshots/Imagines

"I-I Would Never Y/N"

You were worried, anxious, mad and embarrassed. Sitting on the couch tapping your foot and bouncing your leg in time to the ticks of the clock you glanced at every 2 minutes.

12:02 12:04 12:06 12:08 12:10am

The door handle was another target for your hawk-like eyesight, just waiting for the moment you'd hear the key enter the hole and the knob would turn, revealing your beautiful girlfriend. But no, none of that has happened yet and your hopes were wavering that those things would happen anytime soon.

To summarise your predicament, you've noticed a disturbing rise in Sevika's lateness home, you'd forgiven the handful of times she came home a little after 10:00pm, blaming it on her workload as her rank is pretty important. But lately she's often been returning late, very late, and you were fed up with it. You were fed up with hearing the door creak open at obscene hours of the morning, you were fed up with going to sleep alone almost every night and you were fed up with her acting as if it was nothing at all and that you were overreacting and her only excuse was one word "work".

You knew about her history with the brothel, you knew everything you two were a very open couple, but only with each other of course. There were no secrets between you two, well until now. You were sure that by her mumbling out the word "Work" everytime you questioned her she meant "I'm keeping a secret".

You looked up at the clock again.

12:32

You looked back down at the door, nothing.

Just silence, broken by the night noise every now and then.

You got up and let out an exhausted sigh.

"I'm going to bed, fuck waiting for her" You said aloud to yourself and retreated into the spare bedroom you two had incase of a guest instead of the shared room for you and Sev.

Laying down in the cold sheets you cradled yourself and began to break down, thinking why does she do this now, why can't she talk to you anymore, what is she doing out this late. Tears streamed down your face and landed on the pillow below, dampening it.

You took in a big breath and steadied your thoughts entirely on going to sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours after falling asleep you were woken up with the familiar key in the hole of the door and the creak it creates on its hinges when it opens, then you hear her boots and see the light seeping into the room your in under the door.

You didn't want to look at her right now, you just wanted to go back to sleep. You looked up at the clock on the wall illuminated by the faint moonlight outside.

3:05

She only just got home at 3:05 in the morning. You shoved your face into the now dry pillow and quietly groaned. After some silence out in the common area you heard a soft tap on the door, she clearly knew where you were. You silently hoped you would turn invisible but of course that was impossible as you heard the knob turn quietly and more light flooded through the room.

"Hey, Y/N" You heard Sevika's voice greet you in a hush tone, she slowly strode over to the bed and crouched down next to your face.

"What are you doing in here? Are you okay?" She asked you gently.

You didn't look up from your pillow, instead you kept your face buried in it. There was a silence and Sevika knew there was something up, she reached her natural arm up to stroke your hair and tucked a few strands behind your ear.

"Okay, what's wrong, please tell me, you know you can tell me anything right?"

You remain unmoving and silent.

"Is it something I did? Or said?"

Nothing again.

"Are you dead?" She joked with a light chuckle.

Silence.

"Y/N please? I don't wanna do this and I'm really tired-" "Tired from visiting all your friends at the brothel?" You cut her off suddenly raising your body on your elbows, catching her off guard and locking eyes with her.

She looked dumbfounded and her jaw dropped "Is that what you think I've been doing when I come home late?" She asked, her eyes quickly searching your face.

Your eyes just trailed down to the floor and you let out a small breath.

"Oh no Y/N-" She sat down fully next to the bed and her hands rose to cup your face and her thumbs traced your cheeks "I-I would never Y/N, I love you too much- I can't believe you'd think that I- I just you know I would never do that to you right?" Her expression resembled desperation and sadness as her eyebrows furrowed.

Your eyes remained on the ground, now you felt ashamed of thinking like that seeing how she reacted. Her natural hand moved from your cheek to your chin and gently tilted your head look at her regaining eye contact with her.

"Please baby, I would never do that, please believe me" You heard the slight waver in her voice and your eyes welled up with tears threatening to spill.

You snapped and broke down pulling her into an awkward hug from her position on the floor.

"I'm- s-So SoRr-Y sEv" Your voice cracked and wobbled at every word as tears riveted down your face "I j-jUst as-sumed from- from you arriving h-home so late al-l of a sudden"

You sobbed loudly into her shoulder as she moved to hold you better.

"It's okay Y/N, I understand that I have been getting home later and later but I promise you it's just Silco riding my ass about paper work and meetings and shit like that, I promise you it is not because I slink off to the brothel, why would I do that when I have such a beautiful partner right here" She comforted you with some tears slipping from her too.

You two just sat there and cried together for some unknown time until you both just ran out of tears. Sevika slightly moved out of the hug to look at you better.

"Do you wanna go to sleep now? In our bed?" She grinned at you rubbing your shoulders.

"Mhm, yes please I'm so tired" You smiled back at her.

She lifted you in bridal style and walked back to your shared room and placed you down on your side of the bed while she got herself comfortable on her side. You layed down and rested your head on her chest listening to her breathe.

"Im really sorry about what I said Sev, it was wrong of me to jump to conclusions, and I'm sorry that Silco is swamping you with work" You fiddle with her shirt.

"It's okay Y/N, just next time if you want to ask me about anything please do because the last thing I ever want to do is make you sad or unhappy" She explained while rubbing your back gently.

"Noted, I love you"

"I love you too Y/N"
