One More Favour | V | 2

Warning: Major spoilers for V's route ahead!

"Heyo?"

"Hey Seven."

"Ah, Ms (Surname)! Here to deliver your report, are you? Very good!"

(Name) can't help but giggle at his antics, a playful smile lighting up her face even though she knows he can't see it. Not even a minute into the call, and already she's beginning to tear her mind away from the day's surprising events. "Yessir. I made it as thorough as I could without interfering with V's private life."

"Aw, that's disappointing! I love hearing about secrets after all~" An exaggerated sigh follows his voice down the line, and in her mind's eye she can see him leaning back in his chair, breaking away from his work for a while. He clears his throat, and suddenly his voice is deeper, more authoritative– a teasing mimic of a certain corporate heir. "Very well. Proceed with your report."

"Where to begin..." she too sighs and sits down, her body flopping back against the sofa with a huff of air. "V wanted to ask a small favour from me on a separate matter from the RFA. It's to do with his father, who's been giving him trouble ever since last year."

"And this favour is...?"

"It is none of your business, sir," she's smiling again as he whines.

And in an instant his act falters. "(Naaaame), how could you tease me like this? I can't be the Defender of Justice if you don't tell me what potential troublemakers are up to!"

"It's nothing troubling," she assures. "It's pretty innocent, really. I'm sure he'll tell you in a few days time. Until then, can you trust me to look after myself?"

"Of course I trust you," his voice betrays his pout. "But you're making me curious, and a curious hacker is a dangerous one!"

"Oh no, a dangerous hacker? I'd better watch my step!" A thought dawns on her then. "Even if you hack my phone, you won't find anything you know."

A laugh from the other side makes her smile. "Foiled again. You're a fast learner..."

(Name) hums in content. "I have to be to keep up with you, right? You're the world's best hacker, after all!"

"Oh, you know how flattery makes me melt too~" Seven gushes, transitioning smoothly into a girlish dreamy sigh. As soon as he tries to continue, however, his voice cracks. "Gosh you're such a flirt!"

The squeaky squawk of his voice down the line kills her straight face, and suddenly her ribs are aching from laughter. "I s-swear your voice just went higher than mine!"

"Heyyy! You shouldn't mock a man's worst moment!"

Regardless of Seven's whining (Name) continues to practically suffocate from laughter. At some point he gives in and giggles along with her, then it escalates into laughter too.

It takes a minute for (Name) to compose herself, wheezing in oxygen and massaging her ribs gently to ease the pleasant ache. "You... you can't complain to me about laughing when you're laughing too."

"That's not fair," he sighs. "Your laughter is contagious. How can you hold me to that?"

"I'm glad it's contagious," she finally manages to catch her breath then, and settles back into the sofa. "You're adorable when you laugh."

Choking and sputtering are the only response, and that almost sends (Name) into giggles again, but for the sake of her abdomen she stifles it, and only lets out a solitary chuckle. "G-gah, you can't just go say that to anyone!"
