I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS
It was December 23rd, 2021 a Winter morning. Evey was laying in her bed with her black heavy blanket covering her from head to toe. Her long wavy hair covering her face, and neck. She didn't want to get up from the cozy bed that she calls her's, and V. Her mind was racing with joy, and happiness until she rolled over and didn't see V laying next to her. She was confused, V always waits to get up from bed until Evey woke up. Evey was unsure where V could be until she heard the shower in the other room start. Knowing V for an entire year she still has no clue what the love of her life looks up underneath the mask, and all the black clothing. He refuses to let her see his face. V refuses to touch Evey in such ways a gentleman wouldn't to a lady.
Evey stopped her usual thinking, and got up from bed and headed towards her own shower. Her shower was quite different then V's. Her shower included a tub, but V's was just a shower with flat ground that included grey stones around it. Evey got undressed and headed towards the shower. Evey was finishing up washing her body until she heard her favorite song playing in the other room.
" Cry me a river, cry me a river"
Oh how she loved that song. The first song she heard when she was introduced to the Gallery when she got knocked out at work. The song she played when she returned to V. The song that played the night her and V confess their love for one another. The song her, and V would dance to at midnight of every week. Evey was pleased with the song tuning from the other room. Evey was curious what V was doing, so she got out of the shower, got ready from the day, and went to the kitchen to find her lover.
"V?" She called from the ice cold kitchen.
Evey checked everywhere in the gallery. He wasn't found in any room especially his reading room he created a while back. She checked the living room, the kitchen, his old bedroom that is now his composing room. Where could that mask man be? She thought. She traveled to the lift that goes to the rooftop, and there he was. Her man that rescued her, the man that saved her, and the man that stole her heart a year ago. His back was facing her while he looked all around London.
"V?" She whispered.
"Ah good morning, Evey. How did you sleep?" He said without turning around.
"I slept well, thank you" she said. Evey was unsure on why V was out here at bright morning light. "Why are you out here at this time of day ?" V turned around to face Evey. She couldn't tell what his face expressions were because the Guy Fawkes mask was in her way of knowing. " I came out here to think, my love" V said loud and clear. "I came out here to think about a few things racing in my mind like a carousel spinning in one circle around my brain" he said softly. "Think about...what V ?" She whispers from the other side of the rooftop. He looked at her up, and down thinking if he wanted to tell her or not. " I been thinking about the future of us, and what it might have in store for us" he said with a quiet tone in his deep dark voice. " I been thinking about to celebrate our love we should have a small date here in the gallery" he shouted with delight. "What do you say a Evey?" She didn't know what to think, but say yes to the mask lover she calls hers, and hers only. "Of course! When will it be, my love?" She shouted with the sounds of delight coming from her voice. " I was thinking tonight around midnight" he whispered while walking up to her slowly, and carefully. She nodded her head, and took his hand, and guided him back to the gallery to the kitchen for some eggs in a basket.
V tied up his dark, and light pink apron with flowers all over it, and grabbed his pan, and spatula. "May I ask if you want one egg in a basket or two?" He turned around and asked the bright beautiful girl sitting across the kitchen. "One please. I'm not all that hungry actually" she said with a smile. V didn't reply and started to cook up her egg in a basket. He was cooking without his gloves on surprisingly to Evey. Evey wanted to ask him the big question. The question she has stopped asking him for months.
"V we been together for a year, and I think it's time for me to ask you this question I stopped asking for months now" she said. V knew what the question was. She gave it away by saying "I stopped asking for months now" he knew exactly what she was going to ask him.
"Carry on" he sigh into the mask.
"When will I know what the man that I love looks like?" She whispered with fright in her innocent voice.
"Not anytime soon, Evey. Not until I'm fully ready for you to see the man you say you love" he sighed into his mask, and he felt the breathe of fright come out of that sentence hit him in the face.
"Will you ever...touch me in places?" She asked without fear, but with courage.
V couldn't believe what he heard from that sweet voice of Evey's. He didn't know how to respond to what she just asked him. Such a question with no answer to it. V finished the egg in a basket still not answering Evey's question. He turned around, and put the delicious food on her plate, and sat down across from her.
" Evey, I'm a gentlemen I don't do that stuff especially to beautiful creatures like you. You are perfection in any way it's possible. I don't want these hands ruining you". He said calmly while watching her eat her egg in a basket.
"V you are beautiful to me! You won't ruin me!" She said very loud.
" I beg to differ" he said back.
Evey finished her toast, and got up and ran to her room and slammed the door behide her. V didn't know what she expects from a man who doesn't feel no love towards his body, and his face. He doesn't want the women he loves and cares for to run away from him and never return back. V cleaned his dishes, and cleaned the kitchen and headed towards Evey and V's bedroom.
