Arms of Another
Ok, I know that my other fanfics that focus on Vi and Jinx have them as sisters, but who the fuck cares?
"Come on! You haven't-"
"I said no."
"You're not even-"
"Vi, I said no!" Cait slammed her hands onto her desk and stood up. I flinched away at the noise, raising one of my arms to protect myself. "You've asked me fifteen times, and my answer is always going to be no!" She looked at me with fury in her eyes, which softened at my look of shock. "Look, I appreciate that you find me attractive-"
"But not enough." I folded my arms and raised my eyebrow. "All I'm doing is asking if you want to go to dinner."
"Which holds the implication that you'd like to date me." She copied me and folded her arms.
"Can you blame me?" her smile broke through for a second.
"The answer is no, Vi." She looked up at me. "It's no, and I's always going to be no." I huffed and turned so she was looking at the side of my head.
"You're just sayin' no to me so you can go fuck Jayce." Her nails dug into my arm. I flinched and looked back at her, shock on my face.
"You know better than to accuse me of that." The angry look she gave me didn't impress me. I rolled my eyes and looked away again. "Don't ignore me."
"I'm not ignoring you. I can't accuse you when it's true, y'know." Cait took her hand off of my arm and used it to turn my head back towards her, fury in her eyes.
"You don't talk to me like that. I'm your superior."
"And you don't need to talk to me like I'm a dog." I slapped her hand away. "You don't own me, Cupcake." She hates it when I call her that in this kind of conversation. I want to push her buttons.
"Would you prefer that I leave you on the streets the next time you come to my apartment injured?"
"Sure. I can't go to the hospital, anyway." I grinned. "They'll never let me in." Her eyes narrowed.
"You're trying to annoy me and guilt me at the same time."
"Nothing gets past you, Cait." She rolled her eyes and turned back to her desk.
"We have paperwork to do." I raised an eyebrow and opened my mouth. "It's still a no, Vi."
"I get it." I sat down and rubbed my face in my hands. Fuck this. Does she even understand how feelings work? Picking up a pen, I looked at the endless list of words on the paper and tapped it on my desk out of frustration. I'm still human. I need physical affection. Fuck. I'm tempted to go see her again, but do I really need to?
"Vi, go home." I jumped at the sound of Caitlyn's voice and turned in my chair. A grin crossed my face at her fingers pressing into her temples. "If I hear you tap that pen once more, I might just go insane."
"So, you reject me, and then you tell me to go and be on my own." She moved her hands to cover her face, and let out a long sigh.
"You're driving me crazy, Vi. Just take the rest of the day off." She's really not taking no for an answer. I huffed and pushed myself out of my seat, stretching my arm over my chest. "Don't get yourself into any trouble." I almost dropped my gauntlet. Does she know? "You always go drinking after I reject you." Oh, thank fuck.
"Trust me; drinking is the last thing on my mind right now." I went to put my hand on her shoulder to comfort her worries, but she moved away. My fingers curled up in anger, and I slowly pulled my hand away, biting my tongue. Pulling my other gauntlet on, I stormed out of the police station. I'm going to see her.

"You haven't left here all day! You're going to get pale!" Fishbones whined from the couch. He always whined about something when I'm trying to fix Pow-pow!
"You're such a baby, Fishbones! I'm busy!" With a few more screwdriver wiggles, the loose cog popped out of the jam and flew somewhere across the room. Gotcha! Pow-Pow's gonna be ready to go again in no time!
"You really need to go outside!" Fishboned whined again. "Everybody needs sunlight!" I turned to yell at him, but somebody knocked. A smile overtook my face. Only one person knows that I'm down here! Scrambling from where I was sat on the floor, I stood on my toes and leant on the battered door, looking through the peephole.
"Fathands! What a surprise!" I yelled. "You look sad, did the Hatlady say no again?" She nodded, and I stepped back to open the door.
"I brought you a pizza." Vi smiled, holding the box out to me. I snatched it and pushed Fishbones off the couch. As I started chewing a slice; Fathands walked in and shut the door. I heard her drop her metal hands, and watched as she lifted my legs and rested them on her lap as she sat down. Her hand rested gently on my knee, ever so slowly stroking it. She's real upset this time.
"Thanks for letting me hang out here." Vi smiled, resting her head on the back of the couch.
"I just don't know why you keep runnin' after her when you know it's not gonna happen." The smile vanished from her face. She's come here a lot more. I'm always second choice now. It's not fun. "And you can't jus' keep usin' me for emotional backup."
"You're supposed to be insane, why are you saying smart stuff?"
"Hey, I'm not the insane one right now." Vi tipped her head to look at me. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." She stared at me for a while.
"Just eat your pizza." When she leaned back again, I put the box onto the floor and shuffled closer, pulling myself onto her lap. Like always, Vi hugged me close and pressed her face into my hair.
"You always come here because you want to feel loved." She nodded. I'm only ever in control of my mind when I'm around her. For a while, we sat like that, just enjoying the intimacy. But, if she wants intimacy, I'll give her intimacy. I wiggled my head from under her face, and pressed my own into her neck, gently nipping at her skin. She tried to bite back a moan, but I felt it. Smiling, I started to bite harder, my hands moving down and fingers digging into the unarmoured part of her hips.
"Oh, we're going like this again, are we?" One of her hands moved to my ass and squeezed, and the other rested on my chest.
"We always do."
It's only going to get gayer.
