Today is a beautiful Friday afternoon in late August, and, two months into their relationship, Cait and Vi are going to attempt something they've never done before.

They're going to relax.

Caitlyn's parents allowed for them to spend the weekend at their vacation home, on the outskirts of Piltover -- away from the constant whirring and buzzing of the city, a quiet spot dipped in greenery.

It's perfect weather; that fine seam between summer and autumn where the day still stretches languidly on, the sun bright without blazing, the evening cool without chilling. The woods surrounding the area are as lovely as they've always been, rich warm greens just beginning to foster that golden tint. The lake by the vacation home glints crystalline in the afternoon sun, a shimmering pool of perfect blue.

For once, they won't have to fight anything; chase anything, run from anything. For once, they can just rest.

So why do Caitlyn's nerves feel like a bundle of just-lit Progress Day firecrackers?

Because-- because, obviously, she's got plans. She's a planner, it's what she does. And she'd have to be an idiot not to picture-- rather vividly-- all the ways she and Vi could spend this three-day weekend, alone, in her family's lavish vacation home. It's too precious an opportunity to waste.

Not that she's told Vi as much. No, those vivid images are restricted purely to the inside of her head.

For now.

"Well, make yourself comfortable," she declares as she opens the door, hoisting the luggage inside before clearing the way for Vi. "Are you hungry? I ensured the fridge is fully stocked for our arrival."

Vi whistles as she steps through the threshold into the second largest home she has ever seen (the first one being Cait's actual family home). All the walls are practically just windows, and her child bedroom fits into just the entrance. It looks even more like a magazine since likely the family only stays here occasionally. Good thing she has her hands in her jacket pockets already, she doesn't feel good enough to touch anything.

"I'm going to have to really start calling you Princess more than Cupcake from now no," she jokes, shooting Cait a teasing smile. "Should I shower before I step into the rest of the house?"

Vi let’s out a chuckle at Cait’s gentle reprimand. She kicks her boots off by stepping on each heel, but then bends to stand then nearly next to Cait’s.

She’s kind of giddy, really. She doesn’t mind this lavish lifestyle too much, especially when it comes to the food and small comforts. She keeps her hands in her jacket pockets still, though.

“Please,” she enunciates, tone slightly fancy. “Lead the way, Princess.”

Vi kind of enjoys following Cait around, having her pull on her. They’ve built their relationship based on picking each other up, really. They haven’t had too many idle moments to enjoy just simple contact.

“It’s been years since I’ve played any game,” she responds with just a hint of sadness behind it. “Most of them devolved into yelling and fighting over fake money.” VI’s tone shifts to nostalgic. “I once bet Vander I’d eat his shoe if he beat me and he almost held me to it.”

Vi brushes a hand on the foosball table. “Why do I get the feeling you’re super competitive when it comes to games?”

“A healthy amount, I’m sure,” vi laughs lightly, gently leaning into Cait standing next to her, which cranes her head back a little to look up at her. She can never bring up her past without it dampening whatever mood they were in, so she always changes the subject as soon as she can.

She taps her fingers on the table to further change the mood and distance herself from the memory. She shuffled backwards to what she assumes is the next direction of their tour, keeping her eyes on Cait with her best cocky smile. “I’ll totally kick your ass later, I promise.”

Vi lets her mouth hang open. She’s pretty sure she say a TV in the game room too. That’s likely what it means to be rich, you make a room for each specific activity.

She snaps out of it and looks at Cait as if she’s just insulted her. “Never seen Aina— do I look like the kind of lesbian who’s never seen Aina? Learned my best moves watching that movie.” Vi steps back and does a little twist and round-house punch.

“Including-“ she wraps her arms around Caitlin’s shoulders and smiles up at her. She tugs her down softly to kiss her forehead, but misses and plants it on her brow. “Though that would be easier if I was taller.”
heavyfists: (Smile down)

Vi welcomes the touch and the warmth that comes with it. It’s strange how rare this feels, this moment of quiet where they can just be with each other and the world isn’t exploding.

“Oh I definitely do,” and she closes the distance, pressing her lips to Cait’s
heavyfists: (Cocky smile)

[personal profile] heavyfists 2021-12-06 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Vi answers immediately with, “Oh you want me to pick you up, is that it?”

Vi’s smile widens, a little too much so it veers into goofy. It’s not that she’s never been with another woman, but there’s definitely a lot of newneess to being with Cait. Her heart tends to flutter into her chest and she gets what people mean about getting lost in the way someone looks at you.

It does feel like having a girlfriend for the first time.

VI’s quick about it. She takes a step back and to the side, places an arm at Cait’s back and behind her knees, and with a short ‘hup’ hoists Cait up in her arms, carrying the taller girl wounded warrior princess style.

She deepens her voice on purpose and quotes the very familiar lines, “Neri, I’ve got you. Hold on to me!”

Vi swings Cait around just slightly, laughing along with her squeals. She's sure it's a different image from the film. For one, Aina was almost a foot taller than Neri, and Cait's length is hard to keep in mind, so she ends up bumping Cait's feet lightly against the table. Still, Vi could easily carry Cait for most of the rest of the tour.

"You?" She bounces her in her grasp, adjusting her slightly. "You don't weigh anything at all." She turns her head to brush her cheek against Cait's, and her voice comes out deeper again, imitating her memory of Aina. "Our love lightens the challenges on road ahead."

Vi did used to fantasize about heroically carrying the girl she loved around, protecting her from harm, fighting to keep her safe. Not that Cait needs all that much protecting, but the vulnerable moments they've had have not felt romantic or fun. They're frightening and painful, not at all what the movie version led her to imagine. It makes this play acting all the sillier.

And then she feels a shiver from Cait's touch and breath on her skin. Her muscles tense and she starts to feel Cait's weight. This is another thing she's not used to. She's never had to hold back when she wanted someone. In jail, pickings are slim so you do what you can when you can. Cait's not like that, though, she's sure. She's fancy and organized and she's probably never touched another woman before. And she's sure she wouldn't want to start that in her parent's entertainment room. Vi's willing to wait for the right moment, for Cait to be ready.

Keeping her smile on, Vi clears her throat and gently sets Cait's feet on the ground. "You're right, it's pretty romantic," she says fondly. "Let's watch it tonight!"

Vi's not sure what she saw or didn't see in Cait's slight shift in demeanor. There was a pause, a slight stiffness there, and her first instinct is maybe Cait didn't like being picked up after all. She follows her, clenching and unclenching her fist as she does when she's a little anxious.

She tries to lighten the mood by teasing a little, "A-are we staying in the room you used to as a kid? Any secret diaries or embarrassing collection of horse figurines you're going to try to hide from me?"
heavyfists: (Nervous smile)

Vi laughs though she's not sure Cait took that as a joke. It's a different level of tension when it's just the two of them, and Vi has to distract herself saying dumb shit cause she can't stop thinking of the way Cait's cute face pressed up against her neck moments ago. She brushes at it as if she could still feel the soft tickles.

"I dunno, it's a house you visit less. Could get away with hiding stuff easier." Obviously hiding stuff is all Vi could think off. She used to hide always hide the last bite of her favorite candy from Powder, even if she would usually find it. In jail, she hid a great deal more things.

Vi does what she always does anytime she enters a new room. She drops what she's carrying and hops onto the bed. It also helps shake out some nerves. "Mmm, you always have the softest beds, though."
heavyfists: (Sexy smile)

[personal profile] heavyfists 2021-12-08 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oooh, very much so," Vi answers as her stretch settles her in deeper agains the plush softness of the bed. She looks up at Cait, almost a sleepy smile on her lips. "One of the best perks of dating Piltover's finest." She brings her arms back down by her side, and brushes her fingers gently against Cait's arm as it goes down, resting her fingers against Cait's hand. "I could sleep for days in here."
