Prompt by Angel1D98. A short three-shot with Tori and Jade telling their friends that they're a couple.
Takes place after 'Tori & Jade's Playdate', and before season four.
Originally was going to be called 'The Secret's Out', but I have a different idea for that name. For now, this is called 'Telling The Others', but that might change.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious' or the characters. The idea is courtesy of Angel1D98.
Tori POV
Monday morning, I wake up to Trina 'singing' on her way to the shower. Getting up, groaning at my sister's idea of singing, I head over to my dresser and grab a purple shirt, a bit darker than I usually wear, blue jeans, and a matching bra and boy short panties (black and silk). Instead of waiting for Trina, which I knew would take almost an hour, I head downstairs to use the bathroom there, waving to my parents as the make their coffee and some breakfast.
A half hour later, I'm out of the shower and dressed, using a towel to dry my hair as I sing the Evanescence song 'Good Enough' as I do, wiggling my hips as I sing.
"Breakfast is ready." My dad calls through the door after knocking on the wooden door a few times.
"Kay." I call out, setting the towel on the metal bar above the shower curtain to let it dry, then grabbing my pajamas and putting them in the clothes hamper. "Where's my brush?" I ask as I open the door, seeing my dad standing there to use the bathroom after me.
"Ask Trina." Dad says, slipping into the bathroom.
"Of course." I say with a small sigh, shaking my head. "Morning mom." I say, walking to the kitchen and making a plate of toast, pancakes, bacon, and toast.
"Morning Tori." Mom says, eating her breakfast. "Are you catching a ride with Trina or…"
"Definitely not Trina. She's doing the high heat with windows up thing again for her pores." I say, cutting her off. "Why?" I ask, heading to the fridge to grab the orange juice and then the cupboard for a glass.
"You're father and I have to leave early today." Mom says, finishing her breakfast quickly and washing it down with her coffee. "And we won't be back until late. And I don't want to walk in on you two again." She says as she takes her plate and coffee mug to the sink to wash them.
"If it ever happens again, I'm using my gun." Dad says, walking into the kitchen. "No father wants to walk in on his youngest making out with…"
"It wasn't intentional." I say, cutting him off. "Won't happen again." I say, hiding my blush.
"Good. I wasn't kidding about my gun." Dad says, hugging me and pecking me on top of the head. "See you later." He says with a wave as he and mom leave.
"They're never gonna let me live that down." I say with a groan as I eat my breakfast.
Twenty minutes later, Trina makes her way downstairs for her breakfast, dressed in a light blue top that's a little too tight for her (I recognize it as one of mine, that I haven't even worn yet.), a pair of jeans that are a little darker a shade, high heeled boots (like her Fazzini boots, but a dark blue instead of purple.) and her hair in its natural curls. "Hurry up." She tells me, grabbing a couple of slices of toast and making a quick sandwich with some eggs and bacon.
"I'm getting a ride elsewhere today." I tell her, going over my homework from Friday, making sure it's done properly.
"Good." Trina says, stomping to the garage for her door. "I have to get there early for an audition, and I don't want you making me late." She says, closing the door behind her.
"Says the one who takes an hour to take a shower, and another hour to get dressed and do her hair and make-up." I say, watching her. "I guess she was in a hurry. She wasn't even an hour and a half this time." I say, checking the time.
A few minutes later, I hear a car pull up in front of the house and the engine shut off. Packing up my stuff, I barely get up before the door opens, revealing a slightly taller girl my age with dark black hair, purple and red streaks in her hair, pale skin, and an all black ensemble of a tank top with a mesh shirt over top, skirt that goes just above her knees, leather choker with a pentacle in the center, and her usual black combat boots.
"You could try knocking, you know?" I say with a small laugh as I head over to her.
"I could." Jade West says, shrugging her shoulders. "Anyone home?" She asks, looking around.
"No. Mom and dad had to leave early, and Trina left a while ago for an audition at school." I say, stopping in front of her.
"Good." Jade says, pulling me into a kiss, kicking the door closed behind her so no once sees.
"Watermelon lip balm?" I ask after pulling away to breath.
"Yep." Jade says simply. "Who made the coffee this morning?" She asks, walking past me and grabbing my wrist, pulling me with her.
"Dad, I think." I say, following. "I already made you a cup. It's in the microwave to keep it warm." I say, stopping when she lets me go by the kitchen table.
"Good. You didn't add milk or creamer, did you?" Jade asks, opening the microwave and pulling out the black coffee mug with her name on it in blood. "Really?" She asks, showing me the mug as she takes a sip.
"What? I found it at a yard sale with my mom yesterday. All I had to do was paint your name on it by mixing the red paint with some black to darken it a bit so it looked like blood." I say, shrugging my shoulders.
"Such a sap." Jade says, rolling her eyes.
"You love it." I say smugly, pecking her lips.
"You're lucky I do." Jade says, taking another sip of coffee. "Ready to go?" She asks, finishing her coffee quickly and rinsing it off, washing the area her lips touched before setting it aside to dry.
"Today's the day." I say, following her through the house and to her car, closing and locking the front door behind me.
"Hey, I told you we could've done this earlier." Jade says, unlocking her car doors.
"I know, but things between you and Beck were still kinda sore. And after he tried to kiss me before the Platinum Music Awards just made things worse." I say, sitting in the passenger seat and closing the door behind me.
"Why? You pushed him away." Jade says, a hint of irritation at the mention of Beck trying to kiss me and her watching from Cat's webcam. She later admitted to me that she saw after my performance at the PMAs.
"Yeah, but we were together. I almost told him we were a couple, when I told him I couldn't kiss him because of you." I admit, never telling her that. "Thankfully, I stopped myself. And then I found out you rubbed my hamburger patty against your bare foot." I say, the last part with a slight growl.
"What does it say about you that you didn't even notice the burger was in a different place on your tray, or that it tasted off?" Jade asks with a chuckle as she pulls away and heads to school.
"What does it say about you that you rubbed your girlfriend's food on your foot and let her eat it?" I counter, raising an eyebrow at her.
"So, who are we telling first?" Jade asks, ignoring my question.
"I don't know. Cat and Andre first?" I suggest, letting the previous conversation drop.
"Why them?" She asks as she drives towards the school.
"They're our best friends." I say, watching out the window.
"Alright." Jade says, stopping at a red light. "Text them and tell them to meet us at the Black Box theater." She says, pressing on the gas when the light turns green.
"Kay kay." I say, imitating Cat.
-Meet me at the Black Box before school. I have something to tell you.- Tori V to Andre H. and Cat V.
"I told them to meet me, not us. Andre might be suspicious if I tell him you'll be there too." I say as she pulls up to the school, finding a parking space quickly.
"Yeah. Don't need him running in and thinking I killed you or something." She says, shutting off the car as the two of us climb out. "Go ahead. I have to grab some stuff from my locker." She tells me as we head to the school.
"And I don't?" I ask, staring at her.
"Just go." She says, giving me a quick kiss before we walked into the school.
With a small blush from her sudden kiss, I follow her into the school and head for the Black Box, not seeing Andre or Cat around. Hopefully they're already at the Black Box.
"What'd you want to tell us?" "Hi Tori!" Andre and Cat say, one louder and peppier than the other.
"Uh, well." I say, nervous to tell them.
"What? It seemed important in the text." Andre asks, concerned for me.
"Five." We hear from the side door, the one that leads to the side hall. "Four." Jade says, walking towards us, glaring at Andre for being so close to me and having his hand rubbing my arm to comfort me. "Three."
"You remembered." Cat says, clapping when Jade says 'three'. "Hi Jadey." She says, jogging to the Goth and hugging her.
"Okay, this is what I, we, have to tell you guys." I say, walking to Jade as she sends Cat a glare for the use of the nickname she hates.
"What does Jade have to do with it?" Andre asks, giving us a curious glance.
"I knew it!" Cat yells, clapping her hands as she hugs us.
"Knew what?" Andre asks, confused.
"Vega and I are dating. Have been since before Sikowitz sent us on that play date." Jade says, pushing Cat off. "And I told you, don't call me that, and don't hug me." She says, letting out a frustrated sigh.
"Wait. You knew they were a couple, Lil' Red?" Andre asks, still confused. "How did I not know this?" He asks himself.
"I overheard Tori talking to Jade on the phone during one of our sleepovers." Cat says, bouncing, not affected by Jade's glare or tone. "She said something about a cat. Something about rubbing it, or petting it? I didn't understand it." She says, shaking her head.
"Whoa." Andre says, looking at me and Jade with a look I didn't like.
"Stop looking at us like that." I say defensively, glaring at him.
"He's a typical guy. Just ignore him." Jade says, scoffing. "Tell anyone about us, and you meet my scissors. Got it?" She threatens him, pulling a pair of scissors out of her boot and holding them like she was getting ready to throw them at Andre.
"Hey, I'm not gonna tell anyone." Andre says, raising his arms in defense, taking a step back. "I'm happy for you girls. Knew something was going on since that 'play date', when you two seemed closer but still acted like before." He says with a small chuckle.
"It was kinda obvious." Cat says, an odd smile on her face. "Ooh, one time, my brother had a crush on one of his friends." She says, looking at the three of us.
"I'm so going to regret this, but what happened?" I ask cautiously, giving her a curious look as Jade pulls me into a possessive one-armed hug.
"I don't know. Last I heard, his friend broke is back and my brother hasn't talked to him since." Cat says with a giggle.
"And on that note." Jade says, grabbing me and dragging me out of the Black Box.
"He what now?" Andre asks as we leave.
That's it for this chapter. Hope I did well Angel1D98. I tried to make it humorous, but don't think I did too well with that. Next chapter will hopefully be a week from today.
Thank you for reading, and please review.
Blessed Be.
