Work Text:
It wasn't discouraged for vile operatives to have friendships and relationships, in fact it was encouraged so they could become better team mates and thieves in turn.
It seemed it was mostly the class you started with though.
Carmen was with a small group of mis fits.
Back then her name was Black sheep.
There was Grey. Her best friend.
Sheena. Her frenemy.
Antonio and Jean Paul.
Back then they had actual names.
Those two were always with each other even back then.
Best bros.
The four of them were back after a hectic day and the group collected around Black sheets bed.
Sheena had been fortunately nicer since they had first met, she hasn’t touched the nesting dolls since the first day.
Sheena had that short hair that suited her face.
Black sheep assumed it was naturally white blonde but she wasn’t sure.
The women always wore make up and did yoga.
She wasn’t as hefty as Black sheep.
She had a long reach and she was coniving.
She was undeniably gorgeous though.
Grey had only grown since his first appearance.
He normally hoisted black sheep on his shoulders or something.
His accent was thick and she was sure he put it on around her.
“Blimey. Look at those things.”
He was referring to Sheena’s fake long nails.
She’d painted them Leopard print.
And was showing them off like prized possessions.
Long nails weren’t allowed in VILE so these she’d removed and put back on at night.
“Like them Greyboy?”
He shrugged.
“They’re alright I guess. Anyway we didn’t come to hang out to see your silly nails princess.”
Sheena flushed and crossed her arms in defiance.
Looking slightly hurt at Greys teasing.
Antonio (el topo) gave a laugh.
“They look pretty Sheila. Almost as good a saloon women as a theif.”
Jean Paul (Le chèvre) held his shoulder laughing.
“True.”
The two gave each other a sideward glance at how close they were, beginning to blush because of it.
Antonio would never admit how much he loved this man, maybe one day he would, just not right now.
Black sheep hopped on the bed dubious to the amount of romance between the two blokes around her.
“Why you lot quiet for? Did Grey tell a bad joke again.”
“Ow! My jokes are funny.”
Black sheep sat down between Grey and Jean.
“We should play spin the bottle.”
“Hm…. Why?”
“That kiddie game.”, Sheena sighed.
“I don’t see why not.”, Grey smiled down at Black sheep she smiled back.
She asked Player what this game was about and he said something kids did at party’s.
She decided it seemed fun compared to what they normally did which was spar with each other.
“Mmm. Fine.”
Sheena perched next to Antonio.
She threw him a grin.
“Anyways. I’ll go first.”, She spun the bottle.
It landed between grey and jean Paul.
“Rock paper scissors?”
Grey lost and Jean Paul gave a glance.
“Do we have to do a dare or kiss. I don’t understand these English games.”
Black sheep stared at the bottle.
“Sheena gets to pick.”
She grinned evilly. Like a cat finally caught a mouse.
“I pick kiss.”
Jean Paul gave a shrug and kissed her cheek.
A sly look was on his face at sheenas shocked expression.
“You… You cheated.”
He said something in French passing the bottle to Antonio.
“You didn’t specify where sweet heart.”, Greg gave her a pat, laughing.
“Did you really want the Frenchie to kiss you when you could have this Aussie anytime you want.”
She threw him a punch, he dodged and held her fist laughing.
“Say that again and I’ll deck you.”
The bottle in this time was already spinning landing on Black sheep.
Antonio spat out dare as quickly as possible.
He obviously didn’t want to kiss a girl.
Or maybe it was because she was significantly younger than the gang.
“Alright. What you got for me Antonio?”
He glanced around the room.
His gaze landing on the exit light at the end.
His face stretched into a smile.
“I dare you to smash that light in.”
“I’ll get caught.”, Black sheep stuttered, normally she wasn’t against a little prank but breaking a light. That seemed.. a bit much.
“We won’t snitch. Brat.”
Sheena gave a sly smile.
“Or are you chicken?”
The threat of chicken made Black sheep defy her empathy and smirk.
She stood tall and proud.
More confident then she felt at all.
“Hand me something to wack it with.”
Antonio passed her a broken bed leg, that really needed to get fixed.
How it got broken?
That was a prank gone wrong.
It was Antonios fault but it was code not to snitch on your team.
It was metal and it felt thin in her hands.
She’d have to really wack it hard to get leverage and break the light.
The room was already dark and empty.
Even the slightest movement caused a noise to be heard.
She could hear Sheenas grating voice say Chicken chicken she’s a chickennn from far away.
Jean joining in laughing, all of them. Grey giving a whoop.
Black sheep channeled her anger towards them and swung.
The light crackled and broke.
A home run straight in the middle.
She gulped for a second waiting for a shuffle and scuffle of cleaners that never came.
Black sheep was satisfied with her work.
She dusted her hands of and handed the post back to Antonio.
Hoping her anxiety didn’t show.
“Chickens got balls.”, Sheena gave her hair a frizz.
She palmed Sheena of but smiled a small smile at the show of friendship from the girl.
Her and Sheena may not have got on. But they were rivals at the end of the day.
Helping each other become better and better to out wit the other.
Black sheep found the bottle now.
It was cold in here fingers.
She spun it around and blushed as it landed on Grey.
He gave her a smirk.
“What’ll be goldie locks?”
Sheena and Jean gave a laugh.
“She’s to much of a wimp to ask Grey for a kiss. Would she even know how to kiss. She’s like 12.”
Black sheep gave a glare.
“I’m 14! You guys are 18 so what?”
Antonio mentioned he was older than that but black sheep glared making him quiet.
“So?”
Sheena stalked over to hold Black sheeps face.
It was more a pinch, one finger and thumb sharply holding her face.
Leaning in close.
She could practically smell her breath, taste her lips.
She hated that.
being this close to someone she didn't like.
“You have kissed before. Right? I don't mean little kiddie kisses I mean, tongues and ripping at clothes kisses. You won’t do it. Your to much of a child.”
Black sheep gave a shove.
Sheena was caught by jean and gave a huff.
“Piss off Sheena. Yeah! I have for your information.”
She hasn’t.
Doesn’t even think of it with anyone.
The first time she discovered what it was was when she had found a manga book of shadow sans when she was 11.
He was embarrassed and explained it was something he had confiscated off a student.
A manga about girls with magic powers.
She would never stop teasing him about it.
But she’d have to one up this bitch.
She stormed over to Grey and grabbed his shirt.
“Hold on Red riding hood. You haven’t said what you wanna do. What you really want to do.”
His eyes were pleading.
He didn’t want to do this.
Not if Carmen didn’t want it.
Not at all.
“I want to. I know you’ll be gentle Grey.”
He held her near his lap.
Her hips felt strange and he didn’t really enjoy holding a kid like this.
“Ofcourse.”
He was a kid.
He was 17.
She was 14.
She had developed early anyway..
It wasn’t that bad.
He leaned forward to give her a quick peck on the mouth.
Sheena groaned.
“What was that?”
“A kiss.”, Antonio said.
“Ugh.”
Jean sat next to Antonio resting a hand on his shoulder.
“It’s her first kiss and she’d younger.”, he told him.
Antonio glanced up and felt bad, he didn't think Sheena would take it this far.
Jean shrugged.
“I was expecting black sheep to… I dunno… I thought you liked Grey.”
As much as he agreed with Jean, he had to step up.
He placed a hand on Sheena's shoulder.
"Sheena, Black sheep this is enough now, lets just go to bed."
Sheena gave a glare, pushing him off.
“You haven’t kissed anyone either, don't defend her. How is she gonna be a good agent if she can't even handle this?"
Antonio tried to reason with them both growing more and more concerned, he always was the neutral party and all Black sheep could hear was words.
It was droning on and on.
Greys hands were on her face. Warm.
He’d always kept her safe.
She gulped it down and kiss him again.
Sheena was practically watching.
Trying to force feelings that wouldn’t come.
His hands spasmed on her hips and he leaned away as Black sheep pushed into him.
Desperate.
Trying to pull his shirt up and off.
She felt pathetic and she guessed if this had been any other guy he'd have had his way with her by now.
Grey pulled her off holding her away.
He gave her a look of sadness.
“Stop it. Stop forcing yourself.. I would never have agreed to this If you’d said no. You're just a kid. Black sheep, your pretty I'll admit but, your not into me..”
Black sheep gulped and turned away.
She felt a darkness take over.
Had she forced herself onto grey?
All over a stupid-
Sheena gave a laugh and she snapped.
The girls had fought until the group had pulled them apart.
Jean Paul and Antonio helping tigress to try and calm down.
Her nails had broke in the process and the girls had bruises and cut lips.
It was the definition of cat fight if grey had ever seen one.
Grey kept ahold of black sheep.
She was shaking with anger and sadness.
Black sheep was crying and felt disgusting.
She snuggled up to Grey to try and fight the feelings.
“Black sheep never try and do anything you don’t want to do. I feel horrible.. I shouldn't have let you do anything, I just wanted Sheena to shut up.”
“No grey. I told you I wanted it. It’s my fault. Then I tried to.. Im sorry grey..."
The room grew silent and she felt his chest rise.
He was like a brother to her.
It felt to…. Gross.
“I… I really did want to try it. It felt werid.. I’m sorry. I don’t think we’re ever gonna be anything more than… well almost family. I’m sorry Grey.”
He gave a smile.
“It’s alright. I’m cool with that. But seriously don’t let the guys push you around like that. If it wasn’t me, someone could have took real advantage of you. I know you can defend yourself. But so could he. The hyperthetical person.. AGHH! You know what I’m getting at!”
She gave a chuckle.
“Yeah I know Grey. I know.”
The two fell into a sleep.
From that day on they didn’t try another truth or dare.
It seemed what happened in the dorms stayed because no one brought it up again.
Black sheep mentioned it to Player saying it went wrong.
But felt ashamed at the… forcing herself part.
She vowed she’d never do anything she didn’t want to do again.
Even if people didn’t agree with her.
