Chapter Text
“Vee?” Shelly knocked on Vee’s door. She had not come out for a couple of hours, and for a toon who usually did so many tasks, it was starting to get concerning.
“You always tell me when you do reboots… So why are you so secluded all of a sudden?” Shelly knocked again, still gaining no response.
“Vee, if you don’t answer me, I will break down your door.”
“Alright, alrighttttt… come in, jeez…” Vee said, much less monotone than usual.
Shelly tried the doorhandle to no avail. “Vee, the door is locked.” Shelly deadpanned, clearly motioning Vee to let her in.
“Mmmeh… fineeeee…” Shelly could hear a thump as she dropped down from her bed, mechanic footsteps getting closer as she opened the door. She looked… VERY out of it. Shelly didn’t even know she had that expression.
“Vee? Are you okay?” Shelly asked, concern in her eyes as she stepped into Vee’s room.
“I’mmm…” Vee slurred, pausing before continuing, “A-O good.”
“Vee, you don’t look… very…” Shelly paused, before looking at Vee. REALLY looking at Vee. “Oh my god are you HIGH?!”
“Uhhhhh… na', dummy… robots can’t get high, and there's uhh… no weed, I think…” Vee said, clearly completely out of it as she flopped back down on her bed.
“Gigi has like, some kinda weed thing going on, her and Connie do weed like, every day so- but that’s not the point! How did you even get high?” Shelly asked, slightly concerned but also fairly amused by her girlfriend being so… stupid. She went to sit next to Vee, slowly brushing her hand over her torso. Maybe, if she was high, she’d also be less secretive…
“Uhhhh, I messed with, uhh… my code anddddd… Now I'm high! High and, uhh… mighty, I think.” Vee murmured, staring into space, fidgeting with her tail. “Summmn… subroutines, ‘n shit… or sum’n like that.”
Shelly chuckled, poking Vee’s screen with a finger, which got a reactive whine from Vee. “Aww, do you feel weird?” Shelly teased, continuing to poke her despite her whining.
“Yyyyeahhhhh…” Vee slurred, “‘nd stop pokin’ meeeee…”
“But the noises you make are so cute!” Despite saying this, Shelly stopped poking at her request. She could also see Vee’s blush deepening.
“You a lil’ nervous, being around me like this?~” Shelly teased, straddling Vee’s waist and looming over her.
“Mhm…” Vee averted her eyes from Shelly’s face to stare at a wall somewhere.
Hey, Vee…” Shelly grabbed the side of Vee’s head and softly tilted it back towards her, locking eyes with Vee, “You love me, right?”
“...Yeah.” Vee responded, blush deepening into a gradient so neon-green it almost buried her face, “I do… a lot, actually…”
Shelly’s heart flipped almost as hard as when they first confessed.
“Well I love you too.” Shelly leaned in slowly and kissed Vee right on where her mouth would be, and logic be damned, she actually had a mouth! So this is how she consumed all those items... An overheat warning popped up on Vee’s screen in her peripheral view as her fans kicked on another level higher. She ignored it.
"You good?” Shelly asked, slightly adjusting her position on Vee to have both of her elbows next to Vee’s screen, their faces now inches apart.
“Nnnnyeaa… I thinkkkkk…” Vee slurred, holding onto Shelly’s waist.
After that, it was just silence, with no noise except for Shelly’s breathing and Vee’s fans whirring loudly.
“Shelly…?” Vee murmured, Shelly going back to paying attention to her voice instead of staring at her face. “Yeah? What’s up?”
“Could ya uhh… y’know… shoo? Like, get off me… y’know?” Vee asked, softly pushing Shelly by the waist, which did basically nothing except push against her toned abs. Vee never knew how Shelly was actually stronger than a robot made out of metal, but… she wasn’t complaining.
Except right now.
Right now she was complaining.
“Hmmm…” Shelly went into an exaggerated thinking pose, fingers holding her chin, looking to the side and everything. After a bit, she finally said something. “Nah.”
“Huh???” Vee questioned, expression a bit shocked. Shelly would usually do that if she asked for it.
“I said nah. I like seeing you under me~” Shelly teased, getting even closer to her, stomach on Vee’s.
Vee just chuckled softly, before realising she was dead-serious. “...Shelly?”
“Wassup babe?”
“I don’t think you know what connotations that sentence has?”
“Oh, i’m very aware.” Shelly responded, kissing Vee on where her cheek would be.
‘Ah- Shelly…” Vee breathed out, another overheat warning popping up. She just clicked it away this time, along with the other one that was still there.
“Still feel high?” Shelly asked, trailing a path down Vee’s arm with a finger absentmindedly.
“I dunno… I don't know what I feel right now…” Vee admitted. She was never good at emotions, yes, but this was new. She’d felt what she assumed was love before by just looking at Shelly, but… this was different, more intense in a way. She didn’t know how to label it.
“That’s okay… we have all the time in the world to figure it out. Let’s just wait for you to become more functional, ok?” Shelly murmured, voice soft and soothing as she plopped down fully on Vee’s metal chassis. Why they made parts of Vee silicone, she’d never know. But atleast they were nice pillows for her girlfriend.
Vee held the back of Shelly’s head and softly pet her, Vee’s other hand wrapping around Shelly’s waist and holding her close, while also making sure she didn't fall off of her in the process. Double uses, exactly what Vee wanted.. Her previously unused tail wrapped around Shelly’s wagging one. Vee knew what wagging was, obviously, but she didn’t know Shelly was capable of it. She highly doubted dinosaurs actually did that, anyways. Shelly’d be so mad at the inaccuracy… It’d be funny to see. Maybe. Or maybe she was just high enough to find that funny, hell if she knew.
All she knew for certain is that the ammonite breathing softly into her chest was beautiful, and that she never wanted to let go.
