V and Cheeky going up against a foe that can get into their heads and it gets into Cheeky’s revealing what they want most in like one of those illusions and it turns of to be V and Cheeky happy living a domestic life together.
They end up killing the thing but it leaves some awkward tension between the two as Cheeky not wanting to talk about it and V wanting to while just in utter shock. He knew that they found him attractive but he didn’t realize they wanted that with him.
“Cheeky… what was-“
“Drop it.”
“what-“
“I said drop it. Forget you ever saw anything.”
they aren’t looking at him and they’re stiff. He can hear the coldness in their voice but most of all, he can hear the slight sound in their voice of them about to cry.
They’re walking away but he grabs their arm
“talk to me. What… what was that”
they aren’t responding nor have they moved. They look up at the ceiling, a shaky voice leaves them as they relax the tiniest bit
“it’s… it’s what I want most. Something that will never come to be…”
He freezes. They… admitted it. They didn’t even try to lie about it. But why? Why did they want that with him. He’s messed up and would probably end up getting them killed so
“why?”
"I've always haven't always done what was best for me."
They're not happy to let him know their feelings like he assumed; honestly, they're angry? Sad?
Regardless, they just... Tried to remain normal, focused on the mission.
Their poor little broken heart sits heavy in their chest, but they do not bring it up. Though their tongue is like lead.
V is just... Generally trying to unable to stop thinking about it.
