Mel knew what they were doing was wrong. There was no way around that, but she couldn’t help herself. Everything was so much easier with Vi. Sure, she was from undercity, her sister had been terrorizing piltover, and she was dating Caitlyn, but she didn't care. Well, not enough to stop sleeping with her.

"Fuck Princess, even better than I remember," Vi panted as she rolled over in bed.

"Oh, better than what you remember from two days ago?" Mel answered a smirk forming on her lips.

Vi sat up slightly to look at her, "Can you blame me for being eager to get you back in bed?"

Vi reached over and pulled Mel towards her. Mel tucked her head under Vi's chin and cuddled into her. Mel knew how much Vi enjoyed feeling like the big spoon since Mel was taller than her.

"I would never blame you, love, but we have to remember to be discreet," Mel reminded her.

"I know. But it's hard. I mean, I have to act like I've never spoken to you. Honestly, I don't think anyone even knows we know each other, so we don't have much to worry about," Vi said.

Mel pulled back out of Vi's hold to look her in the eyes.

"Violet, I know you think that, but it's different in piltover. Because of who I am, people are always watching. I can’t let this get back to Jayce. Or Caitlyn," Mel said.

"How long are we going to keep doing this? You want me. I want you. Why are we sneaking around?" Vi whined.

She had been in piltover for a few months now. After her sister blew up the council, things with her and Cait were difficult. She cared about Caitlyn immensely, but Jinx was still her sister. It was hard for Vi to reconcile that two of the most important women in her life wanted each other dead.

Everything felt off. She was staying with Caitlyn and her father, but he clearly didn't want her there. But Vi couldn’t go home. She didn't really have a home to go back to. The tension with Vi and Caitlyn's dad became too much and boom! She ran into Mel when she wondered out of Caitlyn's mansion, trying to sort things out in her head.

Vi was sure Mel was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, and she had just accidentally shoved her into a fountain. It wasn’t the best first impression, but it got them here.

Mel sighed and bowed her head slightly.

"I know this isn't...ideal. But given the state of things, due to your sister I might add, I don't want to have any more issues with the council," Mel responded after a moment.

"That excuse is getting old Mel. I'd understand if this was new and the attack was fresh, but it's been months. I love you, but I can't wait forever," Vi said, getting out of bed.

"Vi wait, you don't have to go yet. Just stay, please." Mel pleaded.

In truth, she knew Vi was getting antsy. At first, all she and Vi did was talk. They vented about their day. Discussed what would happen with Zaun and Piltover. They talked to each other about whatever they couldn't say to their partners. Or things they did say that caused arguments.

Eventually, the talking became more physical comfort. At first, it was simple things. Their hands brushing when they sat next to each other. Hugs that lasted a little too long. They were friends, it wasn’t odd for friends to touch. But Mel knew exactly when things changed for them.

When Vi held Mel's face in her hands to qwell any tears that were threatening to spring forth. Mel knew. She knew that these last few months were bearable because she had Vi. When the days were too much and the council called for blood, sneaking off to talk with Vi in private kept her sane.

"I know you want more than this Vi. You know I do too. But we have to be smart about this. I need all the people I can get on my side if I'm going to propose peace between zaun and piltover. If Jayce finds out what we're doing, he'll never back me up." Mel tried.

Vi didn't turn around, but she stopped putting on her clothes. The shirt she grabbed balled up in her left hand.

"Are you sure it's that or do you not-"

"Vi, I want this," Mel cut her off.

Slowly leaving her bed, Mel walked up behind Vi. Mel was still naked as she wrapped her arms around Vi. She involuntarily shivered at that skin on skin contact. Mel loved how she and Vi just fit.

Mel leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Come back to bed, darling."

Vi hummed and let Mel pull her back to bed. Vi wasn't sure what to believe. If you let Jayce tell it, Mel could be a manipulator, but Vi didn't see that side of her. Mel always seemed genuine to her. Even if she had her own agenda, her ability to be persuasive wasn't something she could fault her for.

"Fine. But only because you wore me out and I'm too tired to go back to Cait's."

Mel just smiled as she and Vi curled up in bed together. She would need to figure out when to break up with Jayce, but for now, she just wanted to fall asleep in Vi's strong arms.
