Chapter Text
Uzi sat across from V and J in the pod. V sat on J’s lap on the one chair they had in the pod. She would occasionally kiss and look dreamily into J’s eyes. It made Uzi jealous, because something she wanted so badly was just beyond her grasp. They all were on their phones, laughing, but not Uzi. She was pretending to scroll mindlessly because all she wanted to do was be with them. Every few minutes she’d look over and stare. They were cute, hot, sexy, and lesbian. She never thought she’d find herself falling for a disassembly drone. Let alone two, and girls.
All Uzi wanted was to feel their touch. She craved physical affection and comfort from them. She wanted to feel their warmth as she fell asleep in their arms after a long day. Uzi cried herself to sleep every night in her room feeling the empty bed, imagining they were both there. But alas that reality seemed so unrealistic to her. It hurt her more and more every single day, thinking what they could all be.
They both looked so happy too, how would she ever have a chance with them? She didn’t even know if they’d be up for a polyamorous relationship. Thinking of them saying no made her heart sink. But she felt left out… Uzi needed to say something soon. But the fear is what made her hesitant, the fear of not being close friends anymore, because she was the one who was stupid.
She snapped out of thought and looked up at them when she heard kissing. V put her phone down on the pod buttons and wrapped her arms around J’s neck. They both giggled as J booped her on the nose and kissed it shortly after. Uzi gloomily glanced at them and sighed.
V then focused on Uzi, who was blankly staring at the two. “You okay Uzi?”
She asked. J spun the chair around to see as V got up off her lap. “You look a bit down,” She said and walked over. Uzi’s ears perked up and she tried to stop herself from blushing. V sat
next to Uzi and hugged her side, which made her automatically smile.
“Yeah-” Uzi managed to say like she didn’t care about it. In the moment, she did care, she practically couldn’t think. Having V that close to her made her feel butterflies in her stomach. She enjoyed the moment and hugged her back.
“Are you sick?” V asked with worry in her voice. It made Uzi happy knowing that even if they aren't girlfriends, she still really cares. She lifted her hand to Uzi’s chin and turned her head to her. “Are you sick?” She repeated as they both looked each other in the eyes.
J continued to sit in the chair and say nothing, not think much about the situation.
Uzi panicked, if this wasn’t gay, she didn’t know what was.
Uzi stood up, almost falling over from being so embarrassed and stressed. She fidgeted with her fingers and looked to J then back to V, “I actually wanted to talk about something… It’s important.”
