Summary
They don't have a word for it, maybe they would if they properly spoke about it, or acknowledged it.
How some nights Vi falls into Caitlyn's bed and doesn't leave until sunrise, their limbs pressed so tightly together it's hard to tell when one starts and the other stops.
It's just casual, and Vi is fine with it. Until she isn't.

Summary
“Well, you are very smart and your essay was well-written, but even the most well-renowned scientists have to cite the studies they build upon,” Caitlyn says.
Caitlyn’s glass is empty, so Vi gets to work on preparing another drink to give her hands something to do. “That rule applies to, like, STEM classes. Rules in the humanities are malleable and shit. Meant to be broken.”
“Rules are rules, Vi. We can bend them all we want, but we can’t quite break them.”

Piltover University's Non-Traditional Students Initiative means Vi and her little sister have been able to study at the prestigious school for a few years now. She's focused on her studies, part-time job, and hobbies—an uncomplicated life. But then she meets Caitlyn Kiramman, her professor for her Feminist Literature class, and things suddenly aren't so simple anymore.

Summary
Vi shook her head as she scrolled, trying to clear the sting of the loss and the twisting, heated memory of Caitlyn’s form against her rattling around in her brain.
It didn’t work.
It never worked.
Vi still remembered their first fight clearly, even years later.
The image of Caitlyn walking into the ring was still fresh in her mind: the shocking blue of her eyes sparking under the bright lights, her body slender, but muscled, her angular face stoic and focused, her mouth a harsh line across her face.
Vi had been worried she was going to snap her in half.
She scoffed as she remembered just how fucking wrong she’d been.
Caitlyn had wiped the floor with her. She’d had to work for it - a change from her other fights, Vi found out later - but she had.
After that, her training regimen was pretty much exclusively focused on beating Caitlyn.
She hated losing.

Summary
Vi rolled her eyes as Caitlyn followed her into the bathroom, whirling on her the second the door closed.
“What the fuck is your deal? Thought it might be fun to slum it for the night with the gutter trash who rescued you out there? You’re welcome, by the way.”
“No, I–” Caitlyn made a noise of frustration, face scrunching up, and then she was really fuckin’ close.
Vi held her breath, not wanting to break the weird fucking moment.
“You’re infuriating,” Caitlyn breathed, and Vi tried - and failed - not to shiver when warm breath ghosted over her lips.
“Yeah, well–” Vi started to snark back…and then Vi’s night was officially the weirdest she’d had in a while, because Caitlyn Kiramman, conservative politician’s daughter, was kissing her like she was fucking starving and Vi was an all-you-can-eat buffet in the desert.

Summary
Caitlyn whispers, “Spit in my mouth.”
Vi blinks. “What?”
“Spit in my mouth, Violet,” Caitlyn says again, more convicted. Her back arches slightly off the mattress, and Vi darts down to her breasts.
Or, the calm in Caitlyn's bedroom after a storm.
