The Piltovian Mafia (Arcane fan fiction)

☆Appealing a Bartender and Cutting a Daughter☆

———————

After her second kill, Caitlyn went back for a drink. It was around two in the morning when she walked in the vacant bar. Only Vi was in there, sitting at one of the tables, scrolling through her phone and taking hits off her vape. She was probably sitting there for a while because the place smelt like tropical fruit vapors. Vi looked up at the sound of the entry bell ringing. "Don't say it, I already know. You're closed." Caitlyn said.

"Then why are you in here?" Vi asked.

"Why else would I be in here?"

"A free hookup?"

"No actually. Underage drinking, but hookup was a great guess too."

"We're closed, cupcake. I have the right to currently be lazy."

"It smells like a trap house in here."

"I don't smoke weed indoors, I promise." Vi said, putting her phone and vape done on the table and walking behind the bar.

"Have you been to a trap house before? It smells more like grapefruit and strong perfume. Not just weed." Caitlyn teased, sitting on the barstool.

"Well, I need to get better at my assumptions."

Vi poured the drink and pushed it towards Caitlyn. "Why are you here so late?" Vi asked as Caitlyn just nonchalantly sipped her beverage. "Cmon, you can tell me."

"I really can't..." Caitlyn said before taking another sip. "I don't think you understand..."

"Wow."

"I just have a fear that if I told you... you would rat me out..."

Vi chuckled to herself. "I'm sure I've heard worse."

If she's who I think, she has the right amount of anger. Caitlyn noticed Vi tense up. "Are you alright?" She asked.

"Yeah, sorry..." Vi responded as Caitlyn finished her drink. "Want anymore?"

"Don't get me too drunk, Vi."

"You came here."

Caitlyn chuckled before taking another sip of her second (small) cup of vodka. "Have you ever been seriously angry at someone?"

"Oh, you have no idea..." Vi said, looking around then back at the girl in front of her.

"I'm sure I do. But have you ever been told that you have to be the bigger person?"

"Not really... sounds stupid."

Caitlyn scoffed. "Lucky. I was told that as a kid."

"Hm."

"I got tired of acting like the bigger person a very long time ago..."

"Yet your sweetness remains the same."

"I am not rude to people I don't know. I am not rude to much of anyone unless they give me a reason to be as such..."

"Yeah, you seem like the firey type."

"I must say you do as well."

"Gee, what gave it away?" Vi asked as she leaned on the counter and they both giggled a little. They both seemed to notice a blush on each other's faces due to how close their faces were to each other. Caitlyn felt a sudden warmth rise to her cheeks and a thumping in her chest. "Um, do you know a place I could possibly stay at for the night?" Caitlyn asked as Vi just shook her head and chuckled.

"I would tell you to stay here, but everyone else is already asleep and that would be kinda weird." She said as Caitlyn noticed Vi's skeleton-tattooed fingers inch closer to her like a spider crawling across a room. "If you're not picky, you could stay at the hotel down the street."
