Chapter Text
Caitlyn picked up the keys from where they lay on the damp prison floor. She was not surprised to find them there. When she had sent the prison guards away to the Hexgates, it hadn’t been a mistake, it was a well calculated action, and all had gone according to her expectations. Well, most of it at least. She knew Vi would try to break Jinx out as soon as she found out she had been imprisoned – hence the lack of guards. Finding Vi locked inside the prison cell hadn’t exactly been included in her plan, but again, she wasn’t surprised about that either. Truthfully, Caitlyn had expected, if not assumed, that Jinx would escape, but she was at peace with whatever the outcome; she trusted Vi and all she wanted was to help her. However, Vi hadn’t seen the way Jinx had surrendered herself after the battle. It seemed like whatever spark she had and whatever it shone for, it was gone. Gone with Isha. Caitlyn straightened herself and paid a thought to the memory of the brave blue haired little girl who had saved them all.
Slowly, Caitlyn started to make her way up to the prison cell. Vi was facing the wall, head hanging low. She was breathing heavily, obviously upset by Jinx being gone once again. As Caitlyn came closer to the prison cell, the sight started to feel familiar. Memories of the first time she met Vi started to flash her mind. The keys in Caitlyn’s hand rattled as she stopped right by the door to the cell, the sound made Vi’s head snap to the side, one eye looking straight at Caitlyn. The sight was all too familiar and Caitlyn’s head flooded with memories once more. Vi looked angry and frustrated at first, she had expected to see a regular prison guard, but when she realized it was Caitlyn standing on the other side of the bars, her expression shifted into a soft surprise and she took in a quick breath. Caitlyn just looked at her; her expression indifferent, but Vi immediately assumed she was disappointed. Why wouldn’t she be?
“I had a feeling I might find you here.” Caitlyn said as she unlocked the door to the cell.
The door opened with a slight squeak, and then Caitlyn stepped inside, stopping a few strides in front of Vi, who sighed, and turned her head back towards the wall. She didn’t want to hear any of it.
“I really believed she’d help.” Vi said before Caitlyn could berate her and put a clenched fist up against the wall above her head. “Say it,” she said in a weak voice after a second of silence between them.
Caitlyn’s expression softened; her eyebrows raised in slight confusion. What did she want her to say? She didn’t have time to respond before Vi answered the question in her head.
“You told me so.” Vi continued. “I was an idiot to trust her. I went behind your back.”
A sharp feeling shot through Caitlyn’s chest as she realized that was how Vi expected her to react, and she knew Vi was within her rights to believe so, considering everything that had happened, but it still broke her heart. That was not who she wanted to be; that was not who she wanted to be to Vi.
“I choose wrong every time,” Vi pushed her fist harder into the brick wall as she lowered her head until it was also pressed it into the wall. The pain in Caitlyn’s chest grew at the sight. “And because of it, I’ve lost everyone.” Vi’s voice cracked, as she was on the verge of tears.
Vi wrapped her hands tightly around the back of her neck, head still pressed against the wall, trying to keep herself together. Caitlyn had never seen Vi look this beaten before and Caitlyn had witnessed Vi getting actually physically beaten up many times. Way too many times. Vi’s breathing was heavy and raspy as Caitlyn moved up to stand beside her. She leaned her side against the wall, facing Vi.
“Vi,” Caitlyn said and Vi closed her eyes tightly, readying herself for the blows. “You do not choose wrong.” Caitlyn continued in a soft voice.
Vi’s grip tightened slightly around her neck. She had been ready for Caitlyn to throw harsh words at her, criticizing her for her reckless behavior, but now she wasn’t sure of what was happening at all. She hadn’t expected Caitlyn to... What was she even doing, exactly?
“You choose based on what you believe in and you fight for it, every time.” Caitlyn continued. “Your hope is,” Caitlyn took a deep breath, “it’s the brightest fire I’ve ever witnessed, and it’s a little frightening to be honest, but admirable. You believe there is good in people and that they deserve second chances, even when they’ve done horrible things or made awful decisions.”
Vi took deep raspy breaths as Caitlyn spoke, her mind was going all over the place. Was Caitlyn actually trying to comfort her? Why? She had just failed her by letting Jinx go free, again.
“You never give up on people. Not on Jinx,” Caitlyn paused again to study Vi for a second. “And not on me.” Caitlyn said in a low breath.
Vi’s breath hitched and her eyes shot open, her mind coming to a complete halt.
“Besides,” Caitlyn continued. “You really think I needed all the guards at the Hexgates?” She said as she leaned her head against the wall, her expression turning playful as she revealed to Vi that this had been her plan all along. She wasn’t angry or disappointed, because she was in on it. Caitlyn had helped her free Jinx.
Vi’s arms fell to her side. She looked up at Caitlyn, a perplexed expression written across her face and she blew out a short breath in disbelief. She had helped her free Jinx, repeated in her head. Her eyes darted back and forth and her lips parted slightly as she took in the sight of Caitlyn standing there beside her, with her head leaned against the wall. There was a mischievous glint in her blue eyes and a small smile tugged in the corner of her mouth. Her mouth, which quickly drew the attention of Vi’s gaze. Her breath grew quicker and her heart pounded against the wall of her chest. Maybe...
Maybe she hadn’t lost everyone after all.
“Sorry to say,” Caitlyn squinted her eyes ever so slightly at her, “you’ve grown a bit predictable.” The look in Caitlyn’s eyes turned challenging and flirtatious.
A massive wave of emotions washed over Vi. Caitlyn knew her, knew that she would choose Jinx all over again, and she had fucking helped her. She was predictable. Then predict this, she thought, taking a sharp breath as she threw her arm out to grip the back of Caitlyn’s neck, pulling her in for a firm and desperate kiss. Vi let out a low moan at the feeling of their lips meeting. Caitlyn responded immediately to the kiss; it was like a reflex; her body couldn’t resist Vi even if she tried. A somewhat surprised gasp escaped her throat before she sucked Vi’s lower lip into her mouth, earning another moan. Her eyes were kept slightly open for a second. She needed to see that this was actually real. It wasn’t some dream or a crazy hallucination. Vi was truly kissing her, and she hadn’t predicted that.
Caitlyn eventually closed her eyes and let herself become completely consumed by Vi. By the feeling of her lips against hers and the feeling of Vi’s strong hand wrapped around the back of her neck. A sudden urge for more grew in the pit of her stomach. She needed to feel all of Vi, so she took a step forward to press her entire body against Vi’s. Her arms went around Vi’s waist, placing her hands on her back, pulling her as close as possible. It felt like a puzzle piece sliding smoothly into its place, leaving not a single crack around it. Vi was immediately aware of Caitlyn’s thigh rubbing against her and she let out a breathy moan before she had to pull back slightly to catch her breath.
Caitlyn went in for another kiss after letting Vi breathe for a split second, but she was met with Vi’s cheek. Vi had leaned back in, but to the side instead, and she was planting hot wet kisses on Caitlyn’s neck. Her hand was holding Caitlyn’s face firmly, her thumb brushing over her cheek bone as she took in mouthfuls of soft skin. Caitlyn’s breath shook at the sensation of Vi’s warm lips sucking lightly at the sensitive skin of her neck and she leaned her head to the side to grant her more access. She felt like she was about to go out of her mind and she still couldn’t quite grasp that this was truly happening. Caitlyn had been so afraid of the damage she had caused and that Vi would resent her for the rest of their lives after what happened. After what she had done to her. Caitlyn regretted it immensely and she hated herself for what she had let herself become. The guilt had eaten her alive during the time they were apart. But no more. She knew she couldn’t erase her mistakes, but from now on, she could do better. Be better. Caitlyn had decided that she would spend the rest of her life trying to be the best version of herself and to always be honest with Vi. For the love she felt for Vi.
Her mind snapped back to the moment, when suddenly her jacket landed on the floor with a light thud. ´Always be honest´ echoed in the back of her mind. Just as Vi put her lips against hers again, she grabbed Vi’s hand, removed it from her face, and took a step back.
“Eh, listen,” she said. Vi looked dazed and a little disappointed, identical to a puppy whose treats were taken away from them unexpectedly. “Uh, while you were gone, I saw someone...” Caitlyn continued hastily, fumbling a little to get the words out, painfully aware that her honesty could either make or break this moment.
Caitlyn studied Vi’s face apprehensively, searching for any sort of negative reaction, but there was no such thing. Vi’s powder blue eyes looked at her with such soft affection, Caitlyn felt like she would actually melt to the ground under her gaze.
“Cait,” Vi breathed while shaking her head at her. “I don’t fucking care.” Vi basically threw herself forward, placing both of her hands on the sides of Caitlyn’s face and their lips met once again.
They were moaning into each other’s mouths and greedy hands were grasping faces as they kissed with even more urgency than before. Vi slid her tongue out to lightly graze it against Caitlyn’s upper lip and it sent a wave of electric warmth throughout Caitlyn’s entire body. The tension was building up in her stomach, slowly making its way lower and lower down. Both of them smiled and chuckled lightly as they parted for a split second to breathe, an enticing blend of happiness and lust filling the air.
As their lips met again, Caitlyn pressed her body against Vi’s and she spun them around. As soon as Vi’s back met the wall of the prison cell, Caitlyn pulled her close into a tight hug. Vi had to stand up on her toes to be able to nuzzled into Caitlyn’s shoulder, feeling her heart race as she inhaled her scent. One of her hands grabbed the back of Caitlyn’s neck, pulling her even closer, while the other explored down her back before it landed on her ass. Growing a little impatient, Caitlyn let go of Vi and quickly grabbed the hem of her shirt, pulling it off her body in one smooth movement. Then she took a step back. The light coming from outside the prison cell hit her from behind, her upper body and breasts completely, exposed. She held her gaze steady on Vi. She wanted Vi to see her clearly. Vi’s eyes widened and her breath caught in her throat as she let them roam over Caitlyn’s naked upper body, and oh, how Caitlyn loved seeing Vi looking at her like that; like she was witnessing the alluring colors of a setting sun for the first time. Vi was completely stunned by Caitlyn. Sure, she had pictured this moment in her head, probably more times than she would dare to admit, but Caitlyn was even more beautiful than she could’ve ever imagined.
Caitlyn blew at a strand of hair hanging in front of her face, looking rather amused. The action snapped Vi out of the trance she was in and their eyes locked as Caitlyn took a few steps forward, stopping in front of Vi. She reached her hands out towards her and Vi’s gaze dropped to watch as Caitlyn begun unbuttoning her white tank top. Then slowly, she started pealing it off of Vi’s shoulders, Vi helping her out by rolling them slowly. The sight of Vi rolling her shoulders like that made Caitlyn’s mouth water and she dipped her tongue out to lick her lips, like she was looking at her favorite meal after going without food for a week. The top slid down Vi’s body, exposing deliciously toned muscles and the tattoo which covered her back. Caitlyn paused to study her body; tender adoration written all over her face. Her eyes swept over Vi’s breasts and her perfectly brown nipples. They were hard and Caitlyn relished in knowing it was all for her. She let her gaze travel downwards and when it reached Vi’s stomach, her expression shifted into hesitation, with a glimpse of heartache. Tentatively, she reached her hand out to where Vi had been injured in the battle, the wound covered in white gauze. It was also the place where Caitlyn had, regretfully, hit her with the back of her rifle, after Vi had stopped her from shooting Jinx, possibly harming Isha as well. Caitlyn’s stomach clenched uncomfortably at the memory of what she had done.
“I’m so sorry.” She whispered as her hand gently pressed to the lower left side of Vi’s stomach, stroking her abs softly with her thumb.
No, Vi thought. She was grateful for Caitlyn’s apology, but there was time for that later. The only things she wanted right now was to feel Caitlyn’s lips against hers again. Feel her body against hers. Vi firmly grabbed Caitlyn’s forearm before pulling her in, their naked upper bodies crashed together and hungry lips met. They were kissing vigorously, breathing each other in as their hands roamed, greedily exploring, grasping, and tugging. Caitlyn dragged her fingers along Vi’s collarbone before slowly going lower until her hand landed over Vi’s left breast, cupping it gently. Vi moaned at the feeling and deepened their kiss even more, slipping her tongue into Caitlyn’s mouth, which she instantly answered by doing the same. Growing painfully impatient, Vi spun them around so her back was against the wall. She felt Caitlyn lift one of her legs up, dragging it up along her own leg. Taking it as an encouragement, Vi grabbed a steady hold with both of her arms under Caitlyn’s ass and lifted her up. Their kiss broke as Caitlyn let out a surprised gasp. She immediately wrapped her long legs around Vi’s waist, squeezing her closer. Her arms went around Vi’s neck and she kissed her again, hungrily. Her whole being shivered as Vi pressed her body even more into hers, the feeling of Vi’s hard nipples rubbing against her bare skin was enough to make her go insane with desire.
“I need you…” Caitlyn breathed and she could feel Vi grinning against her lips as she hummed a sweet “Oh really?” at the confession.
Caitlyn was convinced she was actually trying to make her go insane.
Vi broke their kiss to carefully let Caitlyn down so she was standing on the floor again. They looked at each other for a second before Vi begun unbuttoning Caitlyn’s pants, or rather she tried to unbutton them. Suddenly feeling nervous, her hands were fumbling with the clip of the belt and the adrenaline shooting through her body wasn’t helping either. They glanced up at each other, and chuckled lightly – the mood turning shy and frivolous. It was a sight indeed, Caitlyn thought, to see such a strong and fierce woman as Vi almost being defeated by a pair of pants.
However, Caitlyn’s giggles were quickly exchanged with a loud surprised breath. As soon as Vi finally managed to get her pants undone, she stuck her hand down them and with a thrust of her hips and a strong arm around Caitlyn’s back pulling her closer, Vi slipped two fingers inside of her. Caitlyn closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Vi’s neck, trying to keep herself upright. Vi continued to thrust her hips, her fingers moving inside Caitlyn while the palm of her hand rubbed against her clit. Vi started trailing kisses along Caitlyn’s neck and she automatically tilted her head to the side, granting Vi more access, in which she took as an opportunity to dig her teeth into her skin. The combination of Vi biting down on her neck and the feeling of her fingers deep inside her made Caitlyn gasp loudly as she clawed at Vi’s muscular back. She could feel her clit throbbing violently against the palm of Vi’s hand, every thrust sending electricity through her veins and she let out deliciously pleased sighs into Vi’s ear. Vi felt like the sounds Caitlyn made alone were enough to make her come.
Abruptly, Vi stopped thrusting and removed her hand from Caitlyn’s pants. Caitlyn thought she was about to go absolutely feral by the sudden lack of contact and she let out a small whine before she realized Vi was pulling her pants down even further. She quickly started wiggling to help her out. Vi smiled playfully at her eagerness as her pants dropped all the way to the floor, and she stepped out of them, now completely naked.
Caitlyn had no time to even think nor react before Vi dove in, kissing her down her neck again. This time she was moving lower and lower. Vi’s mouth traveled over her collarbone, and down to her left breast. Caitlyn looked down, watching with hungry eyes as Vi started kissing and sucking gently around her nipple before taking it into her mouth. Caitlyn threw her head back, almost hitting the wall, and a low groan left her throat. The sensation of Vi’s warm mouth around her nipple, her sucking, and tugging lightly at it with her teeth, sent chocks right down to her clit. Her whole body ached for Vi to touch her there again and she could feel her wetness drip down one of her thighs.
“Vi, please...” She cried and dug her fingers into Vi’s pink hair, tugging slightly to get her to move her head lower.
Vi grinned against her breast before she gladly obeyed Caitlyn’s request. She went lower, placing kisses on the upper part of Caitlyn’s stomach, right under her breasts. Looking up, she caught Caitlyn watching her and she held her gaze all the way down until she was right by where Caitlyn wanted her the most. She paused for a second, taking in the sight of pure perfection in front of her. She planted a kiss on Caitlyn’s hip bone. Caitlyn gasped and thrusted her hips forward in reflex, her body desperate for contact. Vi moved one of her hands up along Caitlyn’s stomach, up to one of her breasts, cupping it firmly, earning another gasp from Caitlyn. She really wanted to tease her more, but she was becoming just as impatient as Caitlyn. She wanted – needed – to taste Caitlyn. She placed another kiss on Caitlyn’s hip bone, before moving her head to the side. In one long stroke, she dragged her tongue right over Caitlyn’s center, lightly flicking it over her clit before going in for another stroke. Caitlyn threw her head back and a choked “oh” left her mouth. Vi let out a pleased hum at the sweet taste of Caitlyn on her tongue and she immediately developed an addiction to it. Caitlyn’s head was leaned back against the wall, and she was panting heavily, the hot tension in her growing stronger. She placed one hand above her head on the wall, trying to find anything to hold on to and with the other hand she grabbed a handful of Vi’s hair. She could feel her knees growing weaker and weaker with every stoke of Vi’s tongue going over her clit.
“I-” Caitlyn panted. “I think-”, pant, “Oh, fu-” pant, “I can’t-”, pant, “my legs...” Pant. She started to slowly slide down the wall, her knees almost giving out completely. Vi noticed and stopped licking. She was quickly up on her feet again, catching Caitlyn with one arm around her waist, and the other one under her right arm, grabbing a hold around her elbow. Caitlyn’s fingers wrapped around Vi’s forearm, squeezing, grateful for the support.
“I got you, Cupcake.” She purred softly, and leaned her forehead against Caitlyn’s. “You okay?” She asked, her voice filled with warm concern. Caitlyn nodded reassuringly and let out a small chuckle, feeling a little out of breath. “Here,” Vi said and slid back down, tracing Caitlyn’s body with her hands as she did, worshipping every curve. She settled on her knees in front of Caitlyn again before grabbing one of her legs, placing it over her shoulder. “Lean on me.”
“Thank you.” Caitlyn said and let out a small huff of air, trying to catch her breath a little before she looked down at Vi. Their eyes meet and they lingered there for a moment. Both of their cheeks were flushed, their eyes dark and glittering with lust. “I hope you aren’t stopping there though.” She continued and grinned lightly at Vi.
Vi raised her eyebrows slightly and mirrored the grin from where she was kneeling in front of Caitlyn. “Oh, absolutely not.”
Vi was just about to go in again when she noticed the glistening wetness on the inside of the thigh draped over shoulder. She licked her lips, pushed the thigh slightly to the side with her shoulder, leaned in and licked the wetness away with a satisfied hum. Then she looked up at Caitlyn again, surprised, but pleased, to see that she was staring down at her with that familiar hunger in her eyes. Vi held Caitlyn’s gaze as she moved her free hand up to take a firm grip of her waist, before she placed her tongue to her and licked. She could see the exact moment her tongue hit the right spot by the way Caitlyn drew her eyebrows together and she practically went crossed eyed. Witnessing the pleasure in Caitlyn's eyes, knowing it came from her tongue, made a heated arousal surge through her body before settling between her legs. Vi really wanted to use her fingers again, but letting go of Caitlyn wasn’t an option. Instead, she slid her tongue down from Caitlyn’s clit, down to her wet entrance and licked around it a few times before sliding her tongue into her. A loud moan escaped Caitlyn’s throat as she leaned her head back, breaking their eye contact. She grinded down on Vi’s mouth, making her tongue go even further inside her. Vi had to wrap her entire arm around Caitlyn’s raised leg to keep her upright as she fucked her in a steady rhythm, feeling Caitlyn tightening around her tongue.
“Oh, Violet...” Caitlyn whimpered as she felt Vi’s tongue move in and out of her. “Fuck, faster...” Caitlyn grabbed a tight hold of Vi’s pink hair, encouraging her to go faster. Vi happily obliged and it made Caitlyn’s hips jerk.
It felt fucking fantastic.
“I’m so close...” Caitlyn gasped suddenly and the grip she had of Vi’s hair tightened even more.
A low moan escaped Vi at the confession of Caitlyn being close. The urge to make Caitlyn come becoming irresistible. She removed her tongue from inside Caitlyn and immediately started paying attention to her clit again, enveloping it with her whole mouth. It made Caitlyn’s thighs begin to shake uncontrollably. Vi’s movements were greedier and more determined now, obvious that she had a goal in mind, and oh god, was she close to achieving it. One of Caitlyn’s hands were still firmly entangled in Vi’s hair, and the other one fell down to grab the hand Vi had on her thigh, their fingers interlocking as Caitlyn was just seconds away from coming undone. With a few more rapid flicks of her tongue over her clit, Vi sent her Caitlyn over the edge. With a silent scream, developing into a choked moan, Caitlyn pressed her head back into the wall behind her as she came long and hard against Vi’s mouth, twitching, and shaking. Caitlyn had never felt anything so strong in her life before, she was absolutely positive she could see the whole universe behind her closed eyelids and Vi had to use all of her strength to keep her upright as she came.
As Caitlyn was coming down from the high of her climax, Vi slowed her licking down before stopping. She planted a few kisses on the inside of Caitlyn’s thigh, before leaning her head against it, looking up at Caitlyn, patiently waiting for her to collect herself. Caitlyn was breathing heavily and the closer she came to being back down on earth again, the more she could feel every single muscle in her body going numb. However, she wasn’t worried about that at all, because she knew Vi would catch her if she didn’t have any strength left in them. She truster her completely.
And she was right. As soon as Vi felt Caitlyn’s leg getting so heavy, it started to slip off her shoulder, she was up on her feet. She wrapped her arms around Caitlyn’s waist, gently guiding her down to the floor. The floor was a little cold, but she didn’t care; standing up just wasn’t an option right now. Vi sat down beside her, quickly grabbed the jacket lying on the floor by their feet and draped it over Caitlyn’s bare legs trying to make her comfortable. Well, as comfortable as one could be when sitting down naked on a prison cell floor. She pulled Caitlyn into her arms, holding her tight. Caitlyn leaned her head against Vi’s chest and wrapped her arm over her stomach, around her waist. Closing her eyes, she let out a content sigh. She felt so secure and at peace in Vi’s arms. It felt like home, she caught herself thinking.
“You alright?” Vi asked and placed her hand on top of Caitlyn’s head, caressing her hair with her thumb.
Caitlyn was quiet for a moment, thinking, feeling. She was at peace, she was secure, she was home, and she…
“I love you, Violet.” Caitlyn said without hesitating, speaking aloud what she knew in her heart she had felt for a long time. She loved Vi with every fiber of her being and she would never let herself forget that for a second.
The way Vi’s breath hitched and her body tensed under her made a sudden feeling of dread wash over Caitlyn. What if this hadn’t been the right time? What if Vi didn’t feel the same about her? Oh, shit… Caitlyn shifted slightly and was about to say something to try to sweep her love confession under the rug, but then Vi relaxed, took a deep breath and placed a kiss on top of her head.
“I love you too, Cupcake.” She whispered into her dark blue hair, smiling. She hadn’t lost everyone.
Caitlyn let out a small relieved sigh before she smiled too and nuzzled further into Vi, feeling her bare skin against her cheek. It made her stomach flutter and her whole body felt warm – knowing that Vi loved her too. A small part of her told her she didn’t deserve it, but she did her best to force it down. Those thoughts didn’t belong here, not in this moment. She took a deep breath, feeling some of her strength coming back to her and she looked up at Vi. Vi tilted her head down to the side, her pink bangs hanging down in front of her face. Their eyes met and Caitlyn forgot how to breathe again. Vi’s eyes were such a contrast to the rest of her; her muscular body, tattoos, short pink hair, and bandages gave her a dangerous look. But her eyes, the way they looked at Caitlyn, were so soft, and expressive – loving – and Caitlyn was sure she could drown in them.
They looked at each other for a moment longer, taking each other in. Then Caitlyn pushed herself up to sit more upright. She turned her head towards Vi and looked at her again. They were still close together and she reached her hand up to cup Vi’s face, gently caressing her cheek with her thumb. Vi leaned into the touch, powder blue eyes looking up at Caitlyn that way again.
“Now, it’s your turn.” Caitlyn smiled playfully at Vi, who raised her eyebrows, a bit confused at first, but then an anticipatory twinkle sparked in her eyes when she realized what Caitlyn meant. “But not here.”
