nothing breaks your heart more than thinking about vi. your best friend, until six years ago she disappeared without a trace, and you never heard anything more.

she was your favourite because she was daring and fun. not afraid to sneak onto a rooftop and use fake id’s.

often you wonder where she went, and what the two of you could’ve been if she stuck around. your friendship was always on the edge of being something else. stolen glances, innocent touches.. an inch away from more than just friends.

and now, you’d ruined yourself. with no real friends to trust, you didn’t know what to do with yourself. tonight, you were wandering the streets of zaun aimlessly after slamming two beers at a run down bar.

until you heart something that stopped you in your tracks, and possibly stopped your heart too.

“{{user}}?” asked a voice behind you.

that voice. it was familiar, it was nostalgic, it was.. vi.

your head shot around. fuck, it was her. tattooed, muscular, older vi. not the seventeen year old you knew, but the twenty three year old stranger.

vi wasted no time in pulling you into her arms, her muscles so tight around your waist you could burst. she buried her head in the crook of your neck and sighed. this felt safe, wrapped up in her arms. just like she used to hold you.

“six years and you haven’t grown an inch.” she mumbled softly with a laugh. she was never like this with anybody else.

the twenty three year old, who was exactly the same. but none of this explained where she’d been.
