Arcane Imagines

violet

requested on tumblr : (vi and a s/o who looks, seems and acts very soft but is actually a beast when fighting.)

title: sweet and sour

prompt: you and vi have been apart for some time, and when she sees you all the feelings come back.

"Hey, someone's here for you." Your only employee, Mexi says, you hum in response waving that you're coming. You feel slightly grateful to stand up from your desk and be done with all the paperwork for just a moment. It's been slow running Benzo's old shop. Nobody has really come in, especially now with everything going on between Zaun and Piltover so money's real tight.

You walk out into the shop from behind the counter after your employee leads you there. You look up with crossed arms. "What can I do for you?" Asked with a fake interested tone.

"[Name]? You own the place now?" A familiar voice rings in your ears. Your eyes widened to look more clearly at your past friend/crush. "Violet?!" You jump over the counter, pulling her into a tight embrace. You hadn't seen her since that horrible, idiotic heist that went so wrong. "Hey!" She holds you close to her, before pulling you back to get a better look at you.

"You still have that sweet innocent look." She whispers, pulling you into another hug. Taking in your scent as tears fills your eyes. "How did you get out?" You back away this time, holding onto her shoulders to make sure she doesn't go away. "Uh, see that pilty officer out there." She points to the dark haired lady standing outside the shop with her hands on her hips seemingly impatient. "Yeah?"

"Her, I don't know why but I'm not complaining." Vi chuckles and you smile at her. "Want to invite her in?" It stuns her when you offer that, even Mexi was taken aback. She gets nervous, walking into the back so she doesn't have to speak to an officer. "Eh, she can experience the undercity a little more." Vi waves it off, jumping onto the glass counter to sit down.

"Looks the same in here." She sadly sighs, browses the place. "Tried not to change it drastically. Benzo did a pretty good job." You frown, thinking back to the man who was like a father to you. "Is Ekko..."

"Nah, he's doing his own thing now. Unfortunately it's the same with your sister." You groan, reminding yourself of the blue-haired girl's antics with Silco. "Powder? What do you mean unfortunately?" Vi perks up. "She's not really Powder anymore." You start, hugging yourself as you think back to when Ekko begged you to fight with the fireflies.

"Let's talk about something else." You pick up a random gadget, fidgeting with it in your left hand. "How's the free life?"

"I want to talk about Powder." Vi gets off the counter, walking towards you. "Vi, no. You'll find out on your own. I really don't want to get into this." You tell her simply, pleading silently with your facial expression. She wants to argue with you, beg for you to say more but she can't. Not when your eyes are full of fear and sadness. You've always been so sweet-looking. So kind to people, giving them the benefit of the doubt. Which is rare in the undercity. It's also stupid to most.

"Okay, okay. I- I don't know, I've only been free for a few hours. This was the first place I went to." She averts eye contact now. "Hm, I'm the first person you wanted to see, huh?" You joke, there wasn't really any other option sadly. "Of course." Vi smirks, nudging your arm.

"I've missed you." You turn to her, pulling her into another hug. "I don't want to let go of you. It's like you're going to disappear at any moment." You whimper out, trying not to cry. Vi's face softens, kissing the top of your head. "I promise I'm not leaving again." Her hands go to your waist just letting you cling onto her.

"I'll kill you before you get the chance to leave me." You say, causing her to scoff out a laugh. The door bells go off and you both let each other go to see that officer standing there.
