Summary: Vi, Piltover's enforcer, gets badly injured through one of Jinx's rampages. A very worried Caitlyn rashes to the hospital while the Defender of Tomorrow tries to confront Caitlyn's mother over Caitlyn and Vi's relationship...
~•~•~•~•~
It wasn't a very common sight to watch the Sheriff of Piltover, Caitlyn Kiramman, storming down a hospital corridor covered in blood, her long blue hair in a total mess. The sound of her heels clicking against the floor made some heads turn towards her but the sheriff didn't seem to notice - or care. Instead, she kept walking towards her destination, walking as fast as she could with a hardened expression on her face. Her heart was beating so fast, she thought it was going to explode. Finally, she reached her destination; room 417. She pushed the door open, without even bothering to knock and stormed inside.
There she was, her partner, that goofball, laying on a bed near the window, her face full of scratches and bruises and her left arm into a plaster. She looked just fine except for those injuries. If anything, she looked a bit too happy. Caitlyn sighed in relief. It could have been worse, she mused.
At the sound of heels, Vi turned her head towards the source of the noise. Immediately, a smile appeared across her face.
“Hey Cupcake,” she greeted.
Caitlyn couldn't help but adore Vi, who looked extremely cute with that smile on her face, even though she had every reason to be livid with her at the moment.
“Why do you have to give me a heart attack every time we chase down Jinx?” The blue-haired woman scolded her partner, taking a chair to sit next to Vi's bed.
Vi simply chuckled at Caitlyn's concern. Every time she got recklessly injured like this time, Caitlyn would give her exactly the same lecture, every time without failure. Vi found it endearing.
“You needn't worry 'bout me, Cupcake,” she shrugged. “I always make it through, you of all people would know that better than anyone else.”
Caitlyn frowned deeply. How could she not worry when a whole building collapsed on top of Vi while chasing after Jinx? Sometimes her partner could be really ignorant and careless. She didn't give a damn about her personal condition most of the time and that was worrying.
“Seriously, Vi…. Is it worth risking your head like that every single time?” Caitlyn let out a shaky breath. “You and I understand what’s at stake, but is it really worth it gambling your life like that? You know I hate relying on possibilities.”
Vi's right hand instantly captured Caitlyn's palm into hers. She could tell her partner's concern from miles away. She tried to sooth her as she drew circles on the back of her palm. Caitlyn looked up at her partner's eyes, feeling the tears she was holding back for so long finally coming out.
“Oh Cait,” Vi murmured softly, squeezing the sheriff's hand harder.
“I was scared Vi, I was so fucking scared,” Caitlyn whispered, capturing Vi's palm with both hands, “It was so damn scary watching the whole building collapsing while you were still inside.”
“Caitlyn…”
“And then... When we managed to get you out of that hell... By the Gods above... I thought... I thought of the worst, Vi!”
