Season 2 Ep 1 (2/?)

                                    

                                          
Y/N POV
Where was I headed? great question. Where was I going when it looked like the sun was setting and it was pissing down rain? Better question.
I was going back to the undercity. No one wanted me here... Granted no one wanted me back in Zaun either, but at least if felt like home. Right?
No. Home was cuddled up on the couch beside Vi, Powder Mylo, Claggor and Ekko while we could hear the ruckus of The Last Drop upstairs and the loud chatting and laughing from Benzo and Vander. 
That. That is home.
When the only thing I had to worry about is whether Vi actually liked me back or not. Life simply wasn't that simple anymore.
Fuck me, why did I decide to leave as soon as I got to my feet and could stand with minimal pain? Oh yeah, Caitlyn told me I should be dead. Yeah, that one hurt a little.
I've been told a lot of things in my life, but none has stung quite like that had. I didn't necessarily care about her opinion or my life as such, so why did I care so much?
As thoughts clouded my mind and I aimlessly walked through the pissing down rain, I felt a glass bottle hit my hip. That broke me out of my overthinking and threw me into an annoyed state.
"Watch it! Am I really that hard to miss?" Clearly not because they just hit you with the bottle they threw idiot.
The person stood practically running towards me. 
Oh, so you want to fight. I didn't want too but if you say so.
Before I even got a chance to hit them, they... no... she, hugged me, quite hard too. To say I was shocked was an understatement. I wasn't expecting a hug at all, maybe a punch to the face but not a hug.
It felt... Nice.
She pulled away and my shock grew tenfold. The face I had loved, the face I had wished to wake up to every day, the face I had trusted with my life, the face of my childhood best friend, my childhood crush.
"Vi..."
She looked like she was about to borderline cry as she pulled me into another rib breaking hug. "Holy shit, you're alive." She laughed, but it was in disbelief, it was the most shocked laugh I've ever heard in my life.
"What do you mean? Of course I lived, who do you think I am?" She didn't let go of me after that, which is - strange. 
A touch I was oh so used to, her hand slid into my hair to cup the back of my head, pulling me closer. her fingers massage my scalp.
I had yet to hug her back, but she didn't seem to care, she was just happy for me to be alive. Well, one would assume.
"I heard you were in that goddamn council building. I ran as fast as I could when I found out." Her grip tightened on me, which made me instinctually slide my arms around her. 
She slid her arm around my waist pulling me closer as she kept the back of my head in her palm. "The fuckers wouldn't let me see you... I tried and I tried y/n. I needed to make sure you were okay..."
She then slowly began to pull away, her hand which was in my hair slid to rest on my cheek, her thumb gently caressing my cheek. 
It felt so good to have a loving touch for once. Her eyes clouded with tears which made guilt grip my heart. "I couldn't lose you..."
She seems to look over me for injuries, spotting the bandage around my thigh a couple of scratches and bruising but nothing too serious. 
Her hand anxiously drifts to the bandage around my thigh which I pull away from her touch. "It's fine, a bit of metal stuck in my leg, but they got it out, its fine now."
Concern filled her face as she gently puts her hand back on my cheek which I accept this time by leaning into her touch, her warmth. She seemed genuine.
"Somethings different about you." My eyes widen slightly in shock. What? Different? 
"What are you talking about?" I let out a confused laugh as I look at her, she seems to be... relived? 
Her hand gently touches my hip which makes my stomach tingle in a familiar feeling I haven't felt since I was a child. The hip she touches was where the hexcore sat in my hip.
"Your skin has this kind of glow to it that it didn't have when I first saw you again." She slowly slid the side of my shorts down enough to see the glowing orb in my hip which makes my cheeks heat for the first time in a long time.
"You got the shimmer removed?" I avoided her gaze, not knowing how I'll react. I clear my throat as I pull the side of my shorts up yet again. 
"After you left me on the bridge for Caitlyn and I almost died a councilor found me and gave me the surgery." Yes, my words were harsh, but they weren't untrue.
She visibly flinches and cringes as she slowly pulls away from me, genuinely looking apologetic. "I'm sorry... I don't know what I was thinking."
I just shrug but I felt a sinking feeling in my gut, did she really love Caitlyn? "It's okay, you love Caitlyn, so you naturally went to her."
I've never seen someone snap their head towards me as fast as Vi did, she grabs my hands and pulls me in close which takes me off guard. "I don't love her, I don't. As a friend, maybe, but not to the extent you're thinking y/n."
She seemed desperate for me to understand, why was that? I'm so confused, why does my stomach feel weird? Why hadn't she let go of my hands yet? all valid questions.
"Okay, okay, I believe you." Visible tension left her shoulders making her sag, but she smiles at me, oh so gently.
"Where are you going?" She still hadn't let go of my hands, her thumb idly brushes over my knuckles and the plates on my hands which were useless other than decoration, but if they were taken off God only knows if there would be skin underneath.
"Undercity. I have nowhere else to go." She tugs me closer to her as if she felt how cold, I really was.
She pulls me undercover where her and this big guy sat. He looks an awful lot like Vander. "Stay with us, with me, just like we used to." 
Her smile was so genuine, so full of hope I'd stay with her. The longer I looked at her the harder it was for me to say no.
So, I didn't. I said yes, just like I always used to.
