Work Text:
The door slams open and shut, and I stop my game. I can hear N in the headset, and I say, “Yeah, V just came home, but something seems wrong. I’m gonna go see if she’s okay.”
“I’ll be here, Uzi,” he says.
I head to her room, and to my surprise, I hear her crying. It’s kinda muffled, but I recognize the sound. I knock on the door, and she screams, “GO AWAY!”
“V,” I say. “Can I come in?”
“No! Leave me alone!”
I bite my tongue and debate if I should enter, but I hear another sound and make up my mind. I open her door, and she……
V’s at her vanity, hair tied in a low ponytail, holding scissors up to the elastic, blood welling from cuts on her legs. I rush inside and grab the scissors, and she cries harder and shoves me. “Give ‘em back!”
“V! What’s going on?!” I ask, keeping them away from her.
She closes her eyes and hugs herself, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve never seen her in this almost childish state, and I stay back. She rips at her ponytail and moves her hands to grab her head. Her teary golden eyes stare at me, and I shake my head. I pull her onto her bed and lie her head on my lap, and she hiccups.
“What happened?” I ask, much softer this time.
“S-some dickhead grabbed my hair and, and……” A new wave of tears hit her, and I lose her again. After a few seconds, she whispers, “He pinned me to a wall and tried to k-kiss…….”
“Oh, V,” I say, stroking her cheek. “I’m sorry that happened.”
“I need to get rid of it,” she mumbles, sitting upright. “I need to get rid of it.”
I gently grab her ponytail, and she allows me to look at it. A few strands have been cut, but it’s not enough to fully sever it. I glance at her, silently asking her something, and she nods after a few moments. She gets up and goes to her vanity, and I follow.
V stays still as I bring the scissors to the cut and continue it, and she exhales when I manage to cut it off. I let the ponytail fall to the floor, and she hiccups. “Want me to keep going? It’s pretty rough,” I say, and she smiles every so slightly.
I go to the bathroom, grab some clips and other things, and bring them back, and I pin some of her hair up. She plays with her fingers, and I work on cutting the thin layer I’ve left down, using the comb as a guide. It falls just shy of her chin when I’m done, and she gives me a thumbs-up.
“G-good job, Gremlin,” she murmurs.
“Don’t mention it, Angel.”
I let a layer down and repeat, bit by bit, layer by layer. She’s stopped crying, and her tears have dried when I’m done. I ruffle her hair, and she claps her hands and nods quickly.
“I love you.” I kiss her cheek, and she giggles.
“Thank you, Uzi,” she whispers. “It…..I……Thank you. It means so much to…….”
“Don’t mention it,” I say. “I never mind helping you. Oh, crap.”
“What?” V’s expression crinkles, and she touches my hand.
“I was playing a game with N, and he’s probably still waiting for me. Wanna watch us die in a million gruesome ways?” I ask, kissing her again.
She smiles at me, I mess with her hair again and quickly patch her legs up, and we head back to my room.
