League of Kids

Chapter 10

Is it just me, or am I, as a writer, just incredibly into Vi?

(Vi)

The temptation to just stay in the shower for the entire day was huge, but there's a gang of kids nearby that would riot if I didn't get back to them. With a sigh of contempt, I stepped out of the warm water and shut it off. Also, the only clothes within reach were a bra, some boxers, and a tight pair of jeans I usually get action from. What the hell, I can just change again. I walked out of the bathroom as I was drying my hair, humming a tune. I had to stop at the foot of my bed and look to the right.

"Jayce?" He hummed. "What are you still doing in my room?"

"Reading." Do I even have books in here? Draping the towel around my neck, I walked around the bed to look at him properly. He had one leg crossed over the other, and he was reading something I didn't recognise.

"I thought you left when I started having a shower." Jayce shrugged and turned the page. "You're weird." Smiling and shaking my head, I walked over to my dresser and started looking around for my hairdryer.

"Could you find a tighter pair of pants?" Looking behind me, Jayce had turned his head to the side to watch me. "If you put on an ounce of weight, those jeans would just break."

"Are you calling me fat?" His smug grin went to fear. "I thought that you were smarter than to say stuff like that."

"Well, uhm, I can-" I backhanded the book he was holding away and sat across his stomach, knees digging into the bed each side of him. "Or I'll just stay right here. That works, too." He started to look panicky when I moved his hands above his head and held them there. Well, shit. Maybe he's into me after all. He hasn't thrown me off or anything.

"If you call me fat again-" I leaned down closer to his face, trying to not laugh at the water dripping onto him. "-you will regret it." He seemed to finally understand that I was playing around.

"If it gets you bothered like this, I'll make sure to." We both stared at eachother for a second.

"You know, I'm not sure if you're serious or not." He shrugged. "You have to spell things out for me, Jayce. I'm dense." I sighed, releasing his hands to wipe some water off my face.

"Well, I know that." He snickered when I glared at him. "Maybe I have to start holding up signs." What the- what is he getting at, here? "You don't seem to understand anything else."

"Listen here, Hammerboy." I placed a hand on his chest and pointed at his face with the other. "You don't get to insult me."

"Hey, you said it first." Jayce propped himself up on his elbows. "I can say it if you do." We both almost jumped out of our skin when the door slammed open. I didn't know who was stood there, but Jayce could see. The fact that he went pale was not a good sign.

"I have no interest in what you both do in your spare time, but could I interrupt?" Caitlyn. Of course.

"What's up, Cait?" I faked a grin as she walked across the room.

"Could I speak to you in private, Vi?" Faking the most pained groan I could, I got off Jayce and stood on the floor.

"I'll go make sure that Lux and Illaoi are okay in the other room." He said, patting me on the back before leaving. When the door closed, I turned to Caitlyn and fully glared at her.

"26." I sighed.

"What?" Caitlyn looked at me in confusion.

"26." I grumbled, rubbing my hair with the towel again. "26 times that you've interrupted me now. Whilst I was with somebody!"

"Excuse me, but it's not my fault that you choose the most inopportune to try and sleep with somebody." She went quiet for about a minute, which kinda worried me. I was still scared to turn around. Caitlyn's one of those people that walks up behind you silently and scares the shit out of you when you turn around. "To think that I came back from Piltover early to surprise you."

"Surprise me how?" When I turned around, Cait did the same. "You okay, Cupcake?"

"I'm fine." She stated, wiper her face for some reason. "Never mind about the surprise. I'll find another time." As I was about to ask her what she meant, Caitlyn strode out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Ok, she's mad, and that means I'm going to die.

(Caitlyn)

I can't believe that I was that idiotic. Why is it that whenever I try and plan something for Vi, she's always trying to have sex with somebody else? It hurt even more this time, since it seemed that she and Jayce were about to have that kind of connection. 26 times I've tried to ask her out, and 26 times I've been rejected in the worst possible way. Either I'm the unluckiest person alive, or it just wasn't meant to be.

"Caitlyn!" I stopped walking and turned around. Jayce. The urge to punch him is quite overwhelming. "I just want to apologize for earlier."

"Apologize?" He nodded.

"I'm not sure about what you took from what you saw, but I assure you, nothing was going to happen." That's… something, at least. "What are those in your hand?" Blood and damnnation.

"Nothing." I stated, taking my hat off and placing them into it. They're the tickets to a concert that I previously planned on surprising Vi with.

"Caitlyn, are you upset with me?" Jayce asked. "It's unlike you to act like this towards me."

"I'm fine." I stated again, pretending to itch my eye. I can't believe that I'm this upset. I should be used to it. "I thought you were going to check on the kids." That's still incredibly weird to say.

"Oh yes! Are you going to come with me?" He asked, turning sideways and pointing down the hall.

"I think that I'll get a cup of tea beforehand." Nodding, Jayce turned fully around and walked back down the hall. I can't exactly be mad at him. He doesn't know. But there is one thing that does confuse me. When did either of them start feeling that way towards each other? It has to be recent, since I've ever noticed anything like it before.

"Hey, Cupcake!"

"Must everybody stop me in the hall today?" Vi laughed at my remark as she caught up. "What do you need?"

"What was that in my room earlier?" Shame. She changed out of those jeans. Honestly, I coerce her in to wearing them on the rare occasion that we go out for a drink together. "Because that was weird, even for you." Good thing I hid the tickets.

"It was nothing." She raised an eyebrow. "Well, it's just- you and Jayce. I didn't realize that you were with him." Vi made a 'psh' noise.

"Man, I wish."

"Then why were you sat on him?" I asked, folding my arms.

"I was just playing around with him. He made a comment about my jeans that sounded like he could have called me fat, but I wasn't sure." A smile escaped my mind, plastering itself on my face.

"So, there isn't anything happening between the both of you?"

"Why are you asking, Cait?" Vi grinned. "Are you jealous that he's getting at least some action?" I turned fully around ad stood ridged with my hands at my sides. "Oh, man! You are jealous! Does this mean you want me to sit on yo-" The sentence was cut short as I turned around again, and delivered a strong punch directly into her gut. Vi curled up and fell onto her side almost instantly. "Okay, too far." She coughed. "Got it."

"I'll see you in the other room with the children, Vi." I said, turning back around and walking away. I have to admit, I felt a sense of happiness welling up in my gut. Maybe this isn't a lost cause, after all.

4 for 4, lets see how far I can update daily.
