Sapphic Surprise

Carla Dosa x Fem Reader

[Author’s Note: This has been floating around in my head since yesterday and it’s too funny not to do. Also I’m fleshing out Lionel’s character because I think he’s a little neat and could have definitely had a redemption arc if he lived]

Secrets of Legendaria was supposed to be their biggest hit, a game that would be remembered for centuries. The pressure was on and everyone was overworked and tired.

Usually Lionel and Carla were good at keeping their arguments behind closed doors but this was different. It’s hard to keep your anger to yourself when the only thing keeping you sane is root beer and energy drinks. They were meaner than usual, going for each other’s throats without mercy. Everyone in the building kept silent, pretending to be busy as they listened in.

“That design is completely impractical! How the hell is she supposed to fight in that!?”

“Oh come on it’s a fantasy game! The clothing isn’t supposed to make sense! You’re always nagging me, I swear this is why you don’t have a boyfriend.”

This wasn’t the first time Lionel had made a comment like that but usually Carla would bite her tongue and just ignore him. She didn’t like hearing that talk, especially not from someone she once considered a friend but she remained silent for your sake. Unfortunately she had enough of her boss’s snooty remarks and right now she lacked common sense.

“Im gay and I’m dating your sister, you dumb fuck!”

Lionel choked on his soda, the contents almost spilling to the floor as he put his hand over his mouth. A few people in the room stopped pretending to be busy as they turned their heads towards the arguing pair. Everyone in the room felt some satisfaction seeing Carla take him down a notch.

Everyone knew who you were. You didn’t have any programming experience but you would occasionally come over to visit your brother or help him with his finances. You were well liked by his employees because you were the complete opposite of him. Unlike Lionel, you knew how to build a good rapport for yourself. You were easy to get along with because you didn’t care about status. You treated yourself like you were just another person, not the boss’s sister.

He was dumbfounded for a moment, putting his soda cup on some random persons’s desk. “You’re what!?”

“You heard me.” Carla puts down her drink as well and crosses her arms over her chest. It looks like they might fight and plenty of people already have their phones prepared if that ends up being the case. “We’ve been dating ever since middle school and you never noticed. Please don’t tell me that it bothers you that much.” The smug smile on her face showed that she was savoring this victory. Initially you both agreed to keep your relationship a secret because you weren’t sure how your parents would react but now you were on your own and didn’t rely on them for anything. Now seemed like the best time.

Lionel is seething, it’s getting harder for him to keep his cool. Especially after everything Carla had said. “It doesn’t bother me that my sister is gay, it bothers me that her standards are so low!”

He could understand why you wouldn’t tell your parents, both of you were raised in a very strict environment but he felt a little hurt that you never opened up to him about it. Unfortunately he’s been very influence by his parent’s views but your his sister and he would rather take your side than the parents you guys shared. If they couldn’t accept you as their daughter then he wouldn’t accept them as his parents, easy as that.

Lionel turns to look at all the people staring at them as if silently waiting for them continue grilling each other. “And what are you guys staring at!? Get back to work!”

————-

Getting a call from your brother this early on in the day was unusual. He was at work right now, surely he should be working on games or participating in important business meetings.

Regardless of the sudden call you accept it and put your phone on speaker.

“Hello?”

“How are you doing?”

You don’t need to see his face to know that he’s mad at you although you aren’t sure why. It was normal for you two to get into the occasional argument but you don’t think you’ve done anything to piss him off.

You stop what you’re doing to pick up the phone and start pacing around Carla’s apartment. You’ve stayed so many nights there that you’re starting to forget the layout of your own house. “I’m doing good.” You say with a hint of nervous confusion. You’re a little worried about your brother’s sudden hostile tone towards you.

“And how’s Carla doing?” He asks with that same interrogating tone of voice. You feel like you’re being put on trial. Your stomach drops and you feel that sliver of anxiety crawl down your spine.

“Why would I know how your employee is doing? Is this a trick question?” You retort, playing dumb as you slip on one of her hoodies that’s lying around.

“Well I think you know her better than I do considering the fact you’re at her apartment right now!” He raises his voice and you lean away from the loud sound coming from the phone. “If you’re going to try to be sneaky at least turn off your gps.” He lets out an exasperated sigh as he leans back in his chair.

You put a hand on your forehead, already feeling a headache coming on. You were scared of something like this happening. You never told him because you didn’t want to have to choose between your brother or your girlfriend. You didn’t want to have to make a choice, you wanted them both to be in your life. And that includes Lionel, even if he was sort of a pain.

“Are you mad?” You anxiously pace around the apartment. You knew you would have to tell him eventually as Carla was the one you planned to spend the rest of your life with but you didn’t want it to be like this.

There’s only silence on both ends as if he’s actually taking your question into account. “No, I’m not. I just-Why didn’t you tell me? I’m not thrilled about the fact that you’re dating Carla of all people but I’m not going to hate you for it.”

This was a rare moment where Lionel was actually having a heart to heart conversation with someone. There’s no shouting coming from him. Even if he is insensitive and a little ignorant you can tell that he cares and a part of you feels bad that you haven’t told him sooner. Your brother confided in you about almost everything but you kept so many secrets from him.

“I just wasn’t sure how you would react.” You fumble with the drawstrings of Carla’s hoodie. It’s all you could muster as you stopped pacing and just stood there. Lionel can’t really blame you for feeling that way as he isn’t really sure how to react with the sudden news either.

“I want to talk about this in person, come see me tomorrow.” It’s very sudden and it’s oddly mature of him but it’s better than him throwing insults and accusations. He actually seems like he wasn’t to talk to you about this in a collected way. “I’ll see you then, I guess.”

He hangs up and you stand in silence for a moment as you process that conversation you just had with him.

This seems like it can be a turning point for Lionel.

Revenge

Carla Dosa x Reader (kind of?)

[Author’s Note: My first writing piece for this blog! I love The Hex and I wish it had X Readers but it didn’t so I’m contributing. A lot of this has to do with my own interpretation so not everything here is canon! Also this can be seen as either romantic or platonic. Enjoy!]

You remember when times were a lot more simple. When you, Lionel, and Carla were little kids and your biggest problem was who got to play as which character in the video games you played together.

When Lionel first released Super Weasel Kid, he was a little sheepish. It was just something he did for fun yet it became so popular. You and Carla couldn’t help but be proud of him. Then the second game was released, then he sold the rights to GameFuna, then the third game was released.

You’re surprised that he didn’t forget you and Carla as he rose to fame. You’re starting to wonder if that was for the best though. At first you and Carla were ecstatic to work for such a large game company and have your little trio be reunited but things took a turn for the worse. You watched your small friend group fall apart as the arguing between Lional and Carla became more frequent. Unfortunately, you were always in the middle of these arguments. You hated having to pick a side when you still cared for both of your friends.

What used to be a fun job was now something that riddled you with stress. You thought about quitting several times but you didn’t want to leave Carla all alone or have Lionel snap at you like he did with his other employees.

It’s a late night at the office and you’re more than ready to go home and sleep off the stress of these daily conflicts. You stand up from your cubicle, making sure that everything is in your bag before you leave. You look over at Carla who’s hunched over her computer. You wish she didn’t push herself so hard but she was trying to prove a point to Lionel.

When he made his first female character, Chandrelle, Carla didn’t take it very well. She claimed that she appealed too much to the “male gaze” which was something you didn’t disagree with but didn’t comment on because you didn’t want to be apart of their drama yet again. To counter Lionel, she was making her own female character which she named Sado. Ever since then it’s like Carla was glued to her chair. She didn’t want to do anything else other than develop this character.

“Ah, Y/n.” Carla calls out to you as you pass by her cubicle. She looks tired, her eyes reflect the light of the computer screen. Despite her disheveled looking appearance there’s a victorious smirk on her face. “Look at the progress I’ve made. I got Lionel this time.” You really don’t want to be wrapped up in more drama but Carla’s behavior is starting to worry you.

You walk over to see what’s on her computer screen. You lean in closer, squinting because the screen is so bright and because you’re trying to figure out what the hell you’re looking at.

It looks like the regular coding software that everyone uses but something is wrong about it. You haven’t seen those red things before.

“It’s experimental but I think it’ll be perfect, what do you think?” You don’t even know what you’re supposed to be thinking. You want to tell Carla how worried you are, that she’s taking her rivalry with Lionel way too far. Would she even listen to you if you expressed those concerns? “What is it?” You ask, confusion is evident in your voice.

Your reaction only makes Carla’s smile grow wider. “This is just an idea I…” She takes a moment to pick her words carefully. “Borrowed from Kaycee.”

You remember Kaycee, she wasn’t working on any of Lionel’s games but you met her at a mandatory work party. She was a little closed off but still cool to hang out with. She was working on another game in a different part of the building so you didn’t see her very often but you knew that her and Carla stayed in touch. That doesn’t make Carla’s words any less mysterious though, it wasn’t like her to be this cryptic.

You open your mouth to speak, to question Carla further but she interrupts you. “Kaycee told me a secret, something that can get us fired or even worse if anyone else knows about it. She found something in the game she was working on. It’s quite the game changer.” Carla turns back to her screen, her mouse moving to connect the hooks to the blocks and whatever those red things are. “I was able to replicate its likeness but I think it’s missing something.” She sighs, her face moving even closer to the computer.

You’re freaked out. You don’t know what she’s talking about but it can’t be good. You’re not sure what to do, do you tell Lionel? Kaycee? Should you tell HR that you’re worried about her? Would anyone even listen to your concerns?

Carla isn’t acting like herself and it scares you. You have known her since elementary school and you know that something is seriously wrong if she’s acting like this but what can you do about it?

You don’t know what to do. After that interaction you bid Carla goodnight and went back home. It was the cowardly option but what could you do?

You think about your choices, it’s either get Kaycee or Lionel involved or watch Carla destroy herself.

Carla’s revenge wasn’t worth it.
