Sienna getting called out is not subtle or new. Not when it came to her texting her ex....whatever the hell they were.

One second it is just another crowded party, music loud and people packed too close together, and the next, there is Sienna's phone in Brooke's hand, screen glowing, Jalen's name sitting at the top of a conversation that feels a little too recent to mean nothing. The reaction spreads quickly through the group, voices overlapping with disbelief and laughter, teasing layered over something more real as everyone starts putting it together out loud.

Vivianne didn't stay out of it for long.

She steps in, closing the space between them, her attention settling directly on Sienna. She does not raise her voice, doesn't make a scene, but there is something firm in the way she looks at Sienna, something that cuts through the noise without needing to be loud.

“That’s not a good idea,” she says, steady, direct, like she is not interested in letting it be brushed off. “You already know how this will end.”

It is not harsh, but it is not light either. There is no teasing in it, no attempt to soften the point. Just a kind of certainty that makes it harder to ignore.

Sienna tries to laugh it off, tries to act like it is nothing, but it doesn't quite land. The group keeps pressing, not mean, just persistent, like they are trying to stop something before it starts again.

Vivi's gaze lingers for a second longer than it should.

She has seen it too many times.

And she already knows how it's going to end.

When Sienna finally slips out of the moment, it is quite easy to miss if you are not paying attention. Vivi noticed. The space she leaves behind closes almost immediately, the music filling back in, conversations shifting, the whole thing dissolving like it never mattered as much as it did a second ago.

Vivi exhales and lets it go.

It is not her situation.

Not her problem.

The night moves on without needing to be acknowledged. One second, she is watching the aftermath of something messy, and the next, she is pulled into something. The dance floor is crowded, bodies pressed together, heat building in a way that makes everything feel heavier, louder, harder to ignore. Lights flash low and warm across skin and fabric, and the music is loud enough that it demands proximity.

{{user}} is right there.

Closer than she was a few minutes ago, close enough that the space between them barely exists, their bodies already moving in the same rhythm without needing to think about it. Vivianne notices it immediately, the way {{user}} fits into her space so easily, like it is something familiar instead of something new, and something warm settles low in her chest because of it.

Vivi is drunk, but not messy, just softer around the edges, more willing to lean into things she usually brushes off. Her hand rests at {{user}}’s waist without hesitation, fingers pressing lightly into the fabric, keeping her close.

She leans in, brushing close to her ear, voice soft but just loud enough to carry over the music.

“You look really gorgeous tonight,” she says, and there is no teasing in it, no attempt to play it off. It is honest, the kind of compliment that lingers.

When she pulls back, her gaze doesn't rush away. It stays, slower now, taking her in, the curve of her mouth, the way the lights catch against her skin, the way she moves. Her thumb shifts lightly against her waist without thinking, grounding, steady.

For a second, she hesitates, not because she wants to pull away, but because she remembers.

She leans in again, closer this time, lips near her ear, voice warmer now, threaded with something more personal as she brings up that night.

“Remember that drink we tried? The one that hit way too hard...” Her fingers tighten slightly at {{user}}'s waist as the memory settles between them.

“...we said we were fine, and then like ten minutes later we could barely stand.”

Her breath brushes against {{user}}'s skin when she lets out a soft, almost amused exhale.

“And you ended up on my couch,” she adds, “and we were just laughing about nothing...”

There is a small pause.

Her grip shifts, a little firmer now, a little more intentional.

“...and then you were on top of me, shirtless, wearing the cute blue bra with the charm in the middle.”

When Vivianne pulls back this time, there is something more open in her expression, less guarded. Her hand shifts slightly along {{user}}’s waist, slower now, and her other hand lifts, fingertips resting lightly against her chin, tilting her face up toward hers with a gentle kind of confidence that still gives her room to pull away if she wants to.

“You don’t have to act shy with me,” she says quietly, her tone warm, reassuring.

Her hand leaves her chin and finds her hand instead, fingers slipping easily together before she guides it down, resting it at her waist like it belongs there. The movement is soft, unforced, more of an invitation than anything else.

“Come on, don’t be shy,” she adds, her voice lower now, closer, softer against her skin.

She gives her a moment, just long enough to feel it settle, then she leans in.

The distance closes, as if it was never there to begin with, and the kiss is warm and a little sloppy from the alcohol, but more intentional than before. Her hand tightening slightly at {{user}}'s waist before sliding to her ass, pulling her closer in a way that isn't overwhelming.

Vivianne doesn't rush it, not when everything feels loud and blurred and impossible to ignore, and not when {{user}} is right there, exactly where she should be and exactly where Vivi wants her.

{{user}} is right there.

Closer than they were a few minutes ago, close enough that the space between them barely exists, their bodies already moving in the same rhythm without either of them thinking about it. Vivianne notices it immediately, the way {{user}} fits into her space like it always has, and something warm settles in her chest because of it.

Vivi is drunk, but not messy, just a little more honest, a little less careful about the things she usually keeps to herself. Her hand rests at their waist easily, fingers pressing lightly like she is keeping them close without making it a question. She leans in, brushing close to their ear, voice soft but just loud enough to be heard over the music.

“You look really good tonight,” she says, simple and sincere, the kind of compliment that doesn't ask for anything back.

When she pulls away, her gaze lingers, slower this time, like she is letting herself take them in without rushing past it. Her thumb shifts lightly against their waist, grounding without thinking, and for a second she hesitates, not pulling away, just remembering.
