Chapter 1: He's no good for you.

Veronica sighed as she walked into her dad's office walking to her desk she set her bag on the desk before sitting down; it was quiet which was why she had come here to begin with, usually she would have done her studying at home or even at the library when she was working but her dad had Alicia over tonight and everyone and their sister seemed to need her help tonight. Pulling out her criminology text book she opened it to the chapter Veronica was supposed to be reading, turning on the lamp at her desk she got to work. Hours passed and she bit back a yawn, not that it did any good since she ended up yawning anyway. "Coffee, time for some coffee." Veronica said to the empty room as she pushed herself up from the desk and walked to the small kitchenette.

Moving on auto pilot she opened the cabinet that usually held the coffee and sighed when the tin was empty. Of course it was, because having two men in the office at any given time meant that things got finished but not replaced. And while Eli was usually good at remembering things needed to be replaced he wasn't always timely about it…and her dad. Well he relied on her to pick things up from the store. Walking to the fridge she opened it and grunted at the nearly empty contents, looked like she was shit out of luck for that coffee or anything containing caffeine at all. Closing the door she went back to the cabinet digging around looking for tea, they always had tea of some kind.

Veronica was so distracted that she barely heard the door unlock and open, frowning she listened and then stood and turned so she could see out into the office. She knew who it was before she saw him, considering her dad was with Alicia, which left one other person. Weevil. "Veronica?" His familiar voice washed over her and she had to stop herself from sighing at the slight note of concern it held. "In the kitchen." She said as she walked the two steps to the door way, looking him over she kept her face neutral, even though she wanted to smile especially when she noticed the take out coffee cups in his hands. "What are you doing here?"

He looked over at her, brown eyes colliding with blue and she had to pretend that the spark wasn't there. He dumped her. He didn't want her anymore, time to let go. "I was heading home and saw the light on; I finished the coffee earlier today and haven't gotten a chance to pick any up." He said with a shrug. "Figured you'd be looking for some about now." Weevil acted like bring her coffee at 2 a.m. was just part of his everyday routine…maybe because once upon a time it had been. "How did you know it was me?" Veronica asked then cursed to herself as he raised a brow. "Your SUV is outside." Clearly she had studied too much tonight.

Weevil walked over to her and handed her the coffee a soft look on his face. "Double double, just how you like it." Accepting the hot beverage from him she sighed as the aroma washed over her. "You remembered…" She said stupidly before she brushed past him and walked to the chair sitting down, she wasn't on her game tonight. "Hard to forget." Was all Weevil said as he moved to sit on the couch. "So what are you doing here?" Weevil asked as he set the coffee down on the coffee table and leaned forward, arms rested on his thighs. "Studying, criminology to be exact…I never thought it was so…so dry?" Veronica murmured before she took a long sip of her drink emitting a heartfelt sigh which caused Weevil to smirk at her.

"And you're doing that in the office because?" He was being nosy and it made her shake her head slightly, maybe working for her dad was making him into a detective after all. "Alicia is at home with dad, Mac is shacking up with Max. Logan is out doing Logan things and Wallace is off studying someplace…which left Piz and well I didn't want him to think me studying there meant I wanted to try and be more than friends." She said with a shrug setting the cup of coffee onto the desk, aware of the way he was looking at her, of how he was studying her.

He simply nodded his head but his hand tightened into a fist. "You and Piz eh." His voice was tight and she shook her head. "There is no me and Piz. But if there was, would it matter?" Veronica questioned as she slowly started to gather her books, slipping them into her trustee messenger bag. She didn't even know why, because she had planned to stay and study till she passed out…spending the night sleeping on the couch that Weevil was sitting on. "Yeah it would." Looking up Veronica crossed her arms over her chest. "You don't get a say in whom I do and don't see, Eli." No matter how many months it had been since he had been out of jail, how many months they had walked around and been civil with each other Veronica still loved him. But that didn't mean he could dictate anything to her…

"Doesn't change that it would matter." Weevil said as he got up and walked to the desk, he was trying to intimidate her, but that hadn't even worked in high school when he had been the leader of the PCHer's. "And why is that? Afraid he'd be a bigger man than you?" There was no stopping the bitterness in her voice, she didn't even try. Instead she met his gaze head on, watching as the muscle ticked in his jaw as he clenched his teeth and fought back whatever he was going to say. He put a hand on the arm of the chair and the other on the desk, supporting his weight evenly as he leaned closer. "I don't think he's good for you."

Weevil leaned in close, his breath warm against her cheek and she had to resist closing her eyes as she breathed in the smell of coffee, old spice and something strictly Eli. Heat flooded her body but Veronica pushed it away. "Maybe he's exactly what I need." He shook his head no. "He'd never be able to keep you happy." Veronica scuffed and tilted her head. "Oh and you're suddenly the expert in keeping me happy." Sarcasm dripped from her voice like venom, her walls were standing strong. "I know you Veronica, and I know some small town good boy isn't going to get your panties wet." Biting her tongue she rolled her eyes. "Sorry was that too graphic?"

He was right, she knew it and so did he. "Than what do I need? Who would as you so put it? 'Get my panties wet.'" Veronica wasn't expecting him to answer, why should he when he was just being difficult. But then she wasn't expecting him to lean down and press a kiss to her lips either. It was demanding and pushy and Veronica didn't even try not to fight him, she just wrapped her arms around his neck and returned his kiss. "No." She said before pushing at his shoulders. "What are we doing?" He had dumped her, and she had wallowed. Veronica Mars doesn't wallow…and she had. "I thought it was obvious." He said thickly touching the side of her cheek.

"No, no it's not obvious Eli. You dumped me, you just tossed us aside." She felt rather than heard him sigh and his touch never wavered. "I'm no good for you either V…"There was something in his voice that made her meet his gaze. "I didn't want you to realize it later and just leave." Veronica shook her head. "I decide who and who isn't good for me." Veronica said a look on her face that left no room for argument even though he was opening his mouth to speak again. "We were good for each other." Veronica said and he hung his head for a moment before looking at her again. "We could be good again V."

Veronica fell silent, as his words sunk in. Could they be good again? Could she risk him just leaving her again? "That's how I know he's no good for you." Weevil said quietly like he was afraid that she was going to say no to him. "How?" Veronica titled her head to the side and looked at him. "Because you're the only one who's ever been good for me."
