    Summary

    Vi scoffed and stomped forward, the gravel crunching beneath her feet as she approached Caitlyn, who looked up at her with an empty, disinterested expression.

    She stopped right in front of her, chest puffed out, voice dripping with venom.

    “Good lord, Kiramman, maybe pace yourself for once. What’s the plan? Smoke yourself into an early grave so we don’t have to deal with you anymore?”

    Caitlyn’s head jerked slightly, her features a cool mask of indifference.

    “Though I am flattered by your concern," she said icily, taking a slow, deliberate drag from her cigarette, “I assure you that I am perfectly capable of handling myself, thank you very much.”

    “Oh, yeah? Is that why you’re here?”

    Caitlyn slightly perked one of her eyebrows. The look on her face made Vi immediately feel incredibly stupid and childish.

    “No. I am here to smoke a cigarette. In peace. Why are you here?”

    Summary

    “It’s quite refreshing, actually. My parents were always strict on table manners, it’s a nice change of pace. You’re clearly, uh— devoted. With food, I mean.”

    Vi suppresses a snort. Who the fuck says devoted?

    “Yeah, it’s probably a prison thing, although I wasn’t much better as a kid either.”

    Caitlyn blinks, taken aback, “Oh, sorry, I wasn’t trying to—”

    “It’s cool, don’t worry.” Vi dismisses her quickly.

    OR

    Vi is navigating her way back into life. Caitlyn just happens to be her stress-baking neighbor.

    Summary

    Caitlyn is supposed to be rigid, arrogant, easily flustered at Vi's easy smiles. She's supposed to hear you gonna find a date to this thing and say "no, of course not, how absolutely ridiculous."

    But her eyes narrow snakelike in the low light instead. She gives Vi the once-over with hard blue eyes and says, "You could come with me."

    -

    Vi falls in love with Caitlyn. It’s a problem.

    Summary

    “Can we forget this ever happened?” she asks very seriously because everything about this debacle would haunt her for the rest of her life.

    Ruby laughs, and Weiss already feels a little better and she hates that fact.

    “Don’t think I could even if I tried.”

    or

    Weiss meets Ruby and the clouds part, the rain pours, there's a bird somewhere singing and Weiss falls just a little in love.
