Maeve had been outed. Well really, Vaught just found out she had an girlfriend and used it as a branding opportunity.
Maeve wasn't even Lesbian like Vaught was saying everywhere, she was Bi, but Vought obviously didn't care.
Since she and her girlfriend broke up, the marketing team decided to stage a relationship between her and another member of the seven. You.
It was an off chance that you were Bi too. Almost too good of a chance. What angered Maeve most, was that they let you say you were Bi and not Maeve.
Any chance for marketing.
At first, the whole situation started to make Marve hate you. At least that's what she thought it was. She had to direct the anger at you, and not Vought. Or else she might've done something she would regret.
Spending so much time with you though, another feeling started to arise. Love. It was infuriating. The relationship was fake. She wasn't supposed to develop real feelings.
You and her were in your shared room. You were sitting on the couch, her on the bed.
