THIRD POV

Standing staring at the city from her rooftop Y/n sighed heavily sitting down almost defeated. She loved traveling the world with Carmen and her crew but after last night she feared that she would have to give this up or that she'd get kicked out.

"Player." Carmen looked around the empty room where Y/n stayed in while they were in France. "Yes Red?" He hummed his attention divided by the game he was playing half-heartedly.

"Do you know where Y/n is?" She asked entering the room looking for her wallet and phone to make sure she didn't take off. "According to the tracker she's... well right there." He frowned now turning to the screen where the red dot flickered.

"Unless she suddenly turned into a Shadowsan 2.0, she's not here." Carmen muttered knocking on the bathroom door only entering after a moment of silence.

"I'm telling you red. She's right there- no wait." He changed the angle of the screen and realised where she actually was.

"She's on top of you." Player said making Carmen scoff with a slight blush. "No she's not!" She sounded a bit more defensive than she intended.

"No not like that Red. Above you." He said amused pointing at the roof even if she couldn't see. "Right." She nodded heading for the window sticking her head out looking up at the roof.

She got out jumping grabbing a hold of the roof lifting herself up. She stood up straight she saw Y/n hugging her knees staring out at the city inhaling deeply huffing as she exhaled. Slowly she approached walking up behind her.

"Beautiful night." Carmen said making Y/n yelp and jump up missing her step tripping stumbling to the end of the roof. Acting quickly Carmen grabbed her wrist pulling her back onto the roof holding onto her as Y/n panted with big eyes.

"That could've ended a lot worse." She mumbled staring at Carmen. "Yeah." The crimson theif nodded watching with sad eyes as Y/n pulled back hugging herself.

"Sorry for scaring you." Tucking her hands into her pockets exhaling sharply. "It's no big deal." Y/n shrugged turning back to face the city.

"Like last night?" Carmen asked softly making Y/n tense not daring to look at her favorite thief. She didn't have anything to say well she did but she was terrified of saying anything that could jeopardize her spot more.

After a few minutes of silence and staring Carmen decided on breaking the silence. "Y/n please say something." She asked soft eyes observing every inch of her friend.

"I-uh... I'm sorry." Y/n didn't know what else to say. "For what?" Carmen asked frowning not understanding what her problem is. "Last night." Y/n was starting to get defensive hugging herself tighter.

"What is the big deal?" Carmen asked gesturing at the h/c woman. "Seriously?" Y/n turned to Carmen and only then did she see her glossy eyes in the city lights.

"Y/n?" The thief forgot about being annoyed now only worried. "Just say it. Just tell me I'm not welcome anymore." She was flailing her arms around as her voice grew more wary with every sentence.

"Whoa! Wait! Stop!" Carmen grabbed ahold of her shaking shoulders. "Say it." With a quivering lip Y/n looked at Carmen making her heart break a little. "Say it so that I can go right now. Tell me I overstepped and messed up." Carmen finally understood what she meant and what she was worried about.

"Y/n." She sighed somewhat relieved her voice came out just below a whisper. "Say it." Her voice cracked as she struggled to swallow past the lump in her throat. "I'm not saying it." Carmen said her brows furrowing as her eyes seemed to turn glossy too.

"What?" Confused Y/n looked at the scarlet thief with a frown. "If by overstepping you mean last night wasn't appropriate I wouldn't mind being inappropriate more often." Carmen said honestly making Y/n inhale sharply standing back holding her hands up. "Okay. I'm confused." The small chuckle that came from the woman in red made her smile but still she was confused.

"I've never been good at communication." Carmen shrugged taking Y/n's hands in hers stepping closer.

"They do say actions speak louder than words." Y/n shrugged remembering one of her grandfather's quotes cringing when she realized how weird it is to think of her grandfather right now. "They do." Letting go of one hand Carmen cupped Y/n's cheek leaning down stopping inches away from her giving her time to pull away if she wanted but Y/n couldn't and didn't want to.

Leaning further down making Y/n gasp as the gap between them got closed. Closing her eyes Carmen forgot about the world around them the only thing on her mind was Y/n, her soft lips and her sweet scent.

When she pulled away she saw Y/n standing with a silly grin on her red face with sparkling eyes, she couldn't help the chuckle and blush. "I think I get it." Y/n said turning more red by the second her ears burning as she leaned into the hand on her cheek.

"Good." Taking a step closer with a hand on the other woman's waist Carmen pulled her close holding her against her with her hand in her neck a thumb stroking the end of her jaw just beneath her ear. Y/n gently grabbed a hold of Carmen's arm while her other hand was placed on her shoulder. Even now she could smell the sweet scent of Carmen, a strawberry and vanilla kind that fitted her so well.

This time Y/n leaned up capturing Carmen's bottom lip between hers. Closing her blue-grey eyes she leaned down into the kiss tilting her head slightly making the kiss easier for both of them.

When the two broke apart Carmen sighed leaning her forehead against Y/n's both still had their eyes closed smiling like idiots.

"I honestly didn't know you felt this way- wait I am not misreading things right?" Y/n said suddenly slight panic rose making her rapidly scan every inch of Carmen's face.

"My reaction last night wasn't obvious?" Carmen asked with an amused eyebrow in the air. "What?" Y/n frowned again relaxing in the thief's gentle hold.

"Seriously? I could see on the camera feed how red, Red was." At Player's comments she rolled her eyes shaking her head looking down at Y/n again. "I didn't notice." Y/n said mostly to Player.

"I was surprised to say the least." Carmen admitted. "Oh." It explained why she didn't move or say anything and just stared.

"I wouldn't mind doing it again." Carmen shrugged making Y/n blush. "To almost get caught or the kiss?" Y/n asked knowing what she meant but she wanted to hear her say it. "Hmm..." She pretended to think about it.

"The kiss. Definitely the kiss." She pointed at Y/n with a small smirk. "Ditto." She giggled.

Y/n laid her head on the thief's chest closing her eyes for a moment then opened them staring at the city hearing nothing but her favorite thief's heart beating. A smile spread across the woman's face as she wrapped her arms around Y/n staring out into the city resting her cheek against her head.
