Hi there!
This is not my first fanfiction but it is the first that I'm putting up online. So, you know, yay me.
The Borderlands Collection is a collection of various Borderlands one-shots, most of which are unrelated to each other, but every now and then one of them will be connected with another.
And, as I'm sure you're aware, I don't own Borderlands.
Anyways, on to the actual fic. Enjoy!
Genre: Romance/Comedy
Pairings: Maya/Lilith
Vault Hunters and Rakkale
Vault Hunters and alcohol do not mix well.
Axton and Maya sat together at a booth in Moxxi's Bar, they had already been drinking for quite a while and, at this point in their night, both would miserably (and probably humorously) fail a sobriety test. So, it's not really any surprise that the two had long ago stopped any sort of intelligent conversation, and had fallen into playing childish games like "Would You Rather?" or "Truth or Dare". At the moment they were playing the latter and currently it was was Maya's turn.
"Truth or dare?" Maya asked the drunken commando across from her.
He thought for a moment before picking. "Truth" he said.
"Pffft. You're no fun." She said in an almost whine.
"Look, I'm drunk, but I'm not nearly drunk enough to do whatever stupid thing you're going to come up with." He responded.
"Fair enough." She said quietly. "In that case... Uhmm..." She took a long pause to think of a decent question. "What's the dumbest thing you've ever done?" She said finally thinking of a question.
"The dumbest thing I've ever done?" He thought for a moment. "We'll... This one time I tried to take off Zer0's helmet."
"How'd that work out?" She asked.
"Let's just say decapitation isn't the most fun way to die." He said as Maya laughed.
"Alright my turn now. Truth or dare?" He said taking a swig from his bottle of rakkale.
"Dare" she said quickly. "Unlike you I like to actually have fun."
"Alright then I dare you..." Axton looked around the bar to find an appropriate dare. The sight of someone seated at the far end of the bar gave him an idea.
"I dare you, to go kiss Lilith." He said pointing toward the end of the bar where the other Siren was seated.
Maya almost choked on her drink when she heard him.
"You want me to do what?!" She blurted out.
"You heard me. I dare you to kiss Lilith." He said grinning.
"B-b-but I..."
"But what?"
Maya looked at the commando, looked over at Lilith, and then back at Axton. It was then that a mix of alcohol and pride kicked in.
"Fine," she said. "I'll do it." She took a swig of her rakkale, stood up, and walked towards Lilith, while Axton sat watching intently.
Maya soon found herself right next to the other siren. She tapped the redheaded siren on the shoulder to get her attention. Lilith looked up from her drink and smiled at Maya.
"Hey Maya, what's up?"
"Hey..." Maya said awkwardly. "Uhmm... Look this is gonna be kinda weird... but I'll explain later... When I'm a little more sober."
Lilith gave a confused look and started to ask her what she was talking about. But before she could ask Maya grabbed Lilith by the collar and forced her lips onto Lilith's.
After three of the longest seconds of Maya's life she pulled away, leaving an even more confused look on Lilith's face and leaving herself blushing.
"So yeah... I'll explain when I'm sober." She then began to walk away but Lilith stopped her. The Siren grabbed a hold of Maya and then did something that no one saw coming; Lilith pulled Maya back and into another kiss. When she let go it was Maya's turn to be surprised.
"I... Uhmm... That was..."
"Yeah..." Lilith said.
The two stood in an awkward silence for a few seconds while both of them tried to find something to say. It took awhile, but Lilith finally said something to break the silence.
"Want to do it again?"
Maya nodded and the two pressed their lips to each other again.
And it was then, that most of the other Vault Hunters happened to walked in to the bar. And there was Maya and Lilith engaged in a very passionate kiss, while a very confused Axton sat in the corner staring at them while mouthing the words "What the fuck?".
Gaige turned around and looked at her fellow Vault Hunters to see their reactions to situation. Zer0's helmet displayed a smiley emote, Salvador grudgingly handed Mordecai a large wad of cash mumbling something about a lost bet, and Brick looked at the whole thing with a strange sort of interest.
Then Gaige coughed loudly to try an get their attention, and all three of the other Vault Hunters looked at the new group.
"Did we miss something?" She asked innocently.
Axton pushed his way past her as he walked out of the bar, finally giving up trying to figure out what was going on. "I was here and I don't even know what happened." He mumbled as he pushed his way through.
"So uhmm... What happened then?" Gaige asked the two Sirens, who were now both blushing strongly.
"Well," Maya started "Axton and I were playing Truth or Dare and he dared me to kiss Lilith."
"Wait a second." Salvador spoke up. "So you're not a closet lesbian?" He immediately turned around to Mordecai and said "Give me my money back amigo."
"You guys seriously bet in whether or not Maya was gay?" Gaige asked surprised.
"We bet on a lot of things." Mordecai answered.
"Ok, whatever," Gaige said deciding to worry about it later. "but if it was just a dare why did Axton just say he had no idea what was going on?" She asked Maya.
"Well, Lilith... She kissed me back."
"She did what?" Brick spoke up.
"You heard her Brick." Lilith said.
"Yeah I heard her but... I thought you were... You know..."
"Guess you were wrong." She said.
At was at this point that Salvador cursed and again handed a wad of cash to a smiling Mordecai.
"Really Mordy?" Lilith asked. "You bet against me being straight?"
"Yep." He said with a grin. "And it's paying off too."
"Ok, you know what?" Gaige spoke up. "I'm no longer interested in whatever they were doing." She said pointing in the general direction of the two sirens. "I just want to know what else you two bet on."
"I'm a little interested too." Brick chimed in.
"Same here." Said Lilith.
"Oh, you know... Stuff..." Mordecai said.
"Yeah... Uhhh... Stuff." Salvador echoed.
"Be a little more specific." Lilith said.
"Well..." Mordecai seemed to pause to think. "You know stuff like how long you guys will last in a gunfight..."
"I'm not buying it." Lilith said.
"Me neither." Gaige added. "Keep going."
"Well, obviously we bet on the sexuality of you guys..."
"Obviously." Maya said.
"And you know stuff like... What Zer0 actually is, how long Brick would cry if his new dog died, whether or not Gaige is a virgin, Moxxi's actual age, you know that sort of stuff." He said as quickly and inaudibly as possible.
"What?!" Every other Vault Hunter and Moxxi said in unison.
"Yeah uhh... I'm gonna go now..." Mordecai said and then bolted for the door.
"Wait for me amigo!" Salvador shouted, running as fast as his little legs could move him.
The Vault Hunters stood in silence for a moment before Moxxi spoke up.
"So are you gonna follow them?"
"Yeah."
"Yep."
"Mhhm."
"Definitely."
"Well, let me come with you." Moxxi said moving out from behind the bar. "I have to see this."
The bartender turned around for a second as she left. "Hammerlock, you're in charge of the bar." She yelled.
The Vault Hunters then left and proceeded to go after Mordecai and Salvador, who had already made it to the Fast Travel Station and escaped to the Dust.
Most of the Vault Hunters, and Moxxi, had already made it through the Fast-Travel leaving Maya and Gaige, who were just getting ready to go.
"So Gaige," Maya said with a grin. "I'm curious. Are you actually a virgin?"
Gaige's face turned a couple shades redder before she answered.
"Mordecai you are so fucking dead when I catch up to you."
Edit: This was the first thing I wrote for the Collection. So just trust me, they get better eventually.
