Not the End [Eve & Villanelle]

Chapter 3 - Hi, Partner

Villanelle hid behind a pillar as she watched Eve book a hotel room at the front desk. Of course, she had to pretend it was for one person.

Over her now damp clothes, Villanelle wore a dark green parka and black hat with an image of a double-decker bus embroidered on its front. The two had split up earlier to buy disguises on the way to the hotel.

While Villanelle's typical European features allowed her to easily blend in (part of what made her such a perfect assassin), she couldn't risk being recognised. After all, she was supposed to be dead.

Eve found herself a dark green parka to replace the yellow one she had left on the ship. And though attempting to look for the most lowkey option, Villanelle could only get her hands on a bright red varsity jacket with the letters LONDON stamped on the back, as well as the hat. She had seen Eve pretending not to notice it, and got it just to spite her.

As they reunited with their findings, Eve was slightly taken aback once she saw the jacket. They were supposed to be looking for disguises to hide themselves. This was just going to make more people stare at them. Judging from her face, Eve could tell that Villanelle felt stupid in the jacket. So, the older woman agreed when she was asked to switch tops.

"I look like one of those tourists who walk around New York with an I Love NY shirt." Villanelle admitted to Eve in disgust.

Even without the explanation. Even without the fact that it is was really only Villanelle who needed a disguise, Eve would've still switched with Villanelle no matter the reason. She was completely whipped for her.

Eve was now already inside the hotel room when she heard a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Hi, partner." Villanelle greeted Eve as she opened the door. She peered inside as her hand rested against the door frame.

"Single bed, huh?" Villanelle responded seeing the single king-sized bed in the centre of the room.

"Well yeah, I had to make them think it was for one person." Eve responded seriously.

"Right... A king-sized bed for one person." Villanelle teased as she walked inside.

"Oh, shut up." Eve joked as she locked the door behind her.
