summer cabin [OILROSE]

Chapter 19: Persuasion..

A/N: I'm making up for keeping yall in my basement. Here's your food, my children.

//-J's POV-//

I sigh, taking a large sip from my cup. Parties are the only moment when I can drink like a sailor and not feel shame about it. Although, I'm fighting the urge to run to my room and ball my visor off.

My tail flickered as I glanced at V for the 100th time tonight. I guess you never appreciate something until it's gone. The guilt I felt was almost paralyzing me. It was worse than my nightmares. My grip on the cup tightened as I saw her talk to other drones and laugh along them. It just felt so wrong to me. It was painful to watch. 

I watched two drones approach me. One with short yellow hair and another one with long, light pink hair. I remember them being the purple toaster's friends, right? My eyes narrowed as I looked at them, almost waiting for them to speak up. The drone with short hair started talking. I couldn't catch all that he said, he was just yapping.

I was zoning out and not really paying attention to them, when V's name was suddenly brought up. I turned to them a bit too fast, since it kinda startled them. The pink haired one then took a deep breath, she glanced at the yellow toaster before talking. "Yeah, V's quite smart and talented. I've seen her fly around and quite quickly, too." She spoke softly. The yellow toaster nodded and responded "yeah, yeah! She's super cool!!" He paused before turning to me, "Have you talked to her before, J?" 

My chest tightened a bit as I nodded softly and took yet another sip from my cup. My tail flickered a bit, the conversation was starting to upset me a tad bit. The pink toaster then continued, "..have you talked to her at all today..?" she asked. I set my cup down and glanced at V before turning to them. "No.. Haven't had the chance to. She seems too busy." I responded. It was true, she hadn't given me a chance. But it was with good reason, who am I to judge? The pink toaster frowned a bit before urging me, "you should talk to her..! I'm sure she'd love to at least say hi" .. That was offly optimistic of her. She didn't know our situation, though, so I understand why she's acting like that.

The two toasters continued to attempt to urge me and persuade me into talking to V, why did they want me to talk to her so badly? I sighed after about 4 minutes. "Fine, if it's to get you toasters off my ass." I was probably not going to do that, but hey, it worked.. until it didn't. They were keeping a close watch, I think I even saw the demonic purple toaster looking at me before murmuring to Lizzy. I was probably drinking too fast though. I tend to get paranoid when drinking a lot.

welp, time to approach her, I suppose.

**V's POV**

Some random drones were talking to me about J. It made me feel awkward, it was a yellow haired one and a cyan blue haired one. The cyan blue haired one was carrying.. leek?? wha- nevermind, I won't even ask. The yellow haired one urged me, "go go go! talk to her!! She's really cool!! She draws sooo well! I'm sure you'd love to see her drawings, right?" The cyan blue one waved her arms in the air slightly, "At least say hi!" She said before taking a chomp out of the leek she was carrying. What a weird drone.

They bothered me for like, 20 minutes. I was just about to throw them out the window before I saw J approaching me. Shit. I took a nervous sip from my drink before turning to her. She looked as awkward as I felt. We looked at each other for a while, she glanced over her shoulder awkwardly. I saw that there was ANOTHER yellow haired drone and a pink haired one. Did they get together as a group and say 'oh yeah, let's go make these drones talk to each other!' did they thin we were a good match or something..? 

that was impossible, especially after what J had said. I was, to say the least, quite pissed at what she said. You don't kiss someone and then say 'it was in the heat of the moment!' you know how much that hurts to hear? ..Who am I kidding, this is J I'm talking about. Of course she would do that. It's out of character for her to NOT do that!

We awkwardly looked at each other, I then awkwardly broke the silence. "Hi." I said, waving my hand slightly. I saw J tense up a bit, she looked like she was zoning out before I spoke up.. huh. She looked at me, her tail tip swayed a bit, "..Hi." She responded... Something about J felt off. She looked.. more tired? and she was jumpier than usual. Quite concerning, honestly. Why are you concerned about her, V!? she hurt you! Don't forget that!!

J looked at me before then quickly saying; "Bye." She then turned away and made her escape. Seriously?? just a 'hi, bye'!? that's all you're willing to say to me? What the hell, J?? ..cut her some slack. She doesn't have anyone in the cabin that she's close to, right now. Shut up!!! 

(THIRD PERSON)

And so, meanwhile V was fighting with herself, J walked away and leaned on the wall. She exploded from the stress. (/J)

A/N: Omggg, guys am I cooking !1!?1!1
