Summary:

After the defeat of the Solver, N and V go to live with the worker drone colony.

V moves in with Lizzy and Thad and is generally herself about it all.

or

A V centric fic about her adjusting to living with the worker drones with a lot of Vizzy and the occasional hint of Nuzi.

Notes:

Hiii!!! First Murder Drones fic - yay!!! I ofc had to make it about V , my fav disassembly drone and add in as much Vizzy and Nuzi as possible so here you go!

In this first chapter V is just kind of moving in with Lizzy and Thad and tbh I did get kind of distracted with the Vizzy interactions but oh well.

I also apologise to anyone waiting for my kpdh and eah fics - they will be updated soon so not worry I have not forgotten!!!

Thanks for picking this fic to read and enjoy!

Chapter 1: don’t touch, I’d never cross the line

“Never in a million years.”

 

Those were the words that V had repeated to N when he suggested that she could stay with Lizzy.

 

“Come on V!” N whined “I thought Lizzy was your friend.”

 

V paused before correcting herself “I mean we are friends-“

 

N cut her off enthusiastically “There! I don’t see a problem then!”

 

V frowned “I don’t see what’s wrong with my current living situation. There’s no need for me to ask Lizzy. It’s too much to ask for.”

 

“But you’re living in the tower,” N complained giving her a look “That can’t be at all comfortable.” He added “Or safe anymore.”

 

“I’m a Disassembly Drone, N,” V growled “I think I can handle it.”

 

N pouted - or at least attempted to pout, he wasn’t very convincing “I’ve already talked to Thad,” he elaborated “And he says that Lizzy’s dad won’t care - they have a spare room.”

 

V sighed “But that’s Thad - you and him are practically brothers - you both love doing anything.”

 

“And beside that,” V added “Won’t Lizzy care?”

 

N flicked his wrist, brushing the thought off “Nah - she loves ya V!!! I bet she’d absolutely adore having you as a roommate.Someone to gossip with, to hang out with-“

 

V pursed her lips, lashing her tail before returning it to wrap around her legs “I will consider it.”

 

N grinned a wide toothy smile “That’s great!!! Oh I’m so excited for you.”

 

“I haven’t decided yet,” V rolled her eyes.

 

The other drone gave her a playful nudge to which she bared her teeth “I’m sure you’ll both have a great time!” He paused before adding “I would offer you to stay with me and Uzi but you know how Mr Doorman feels about one Disassembly Drone in his home, let alone two-“

 

“I know,” V shrugged “And anyways, I wouldn’t want to get between you and Uzi,” she made a gagging noise “Eugh. Gross.”

 

N’s visor lit up with the light of blush lines “H-hey! We’re not that gross-“ he protested.

 

“That,”V spread her wings, looking down at the other disassembly drone, as she took to the sky, a smirk playing on her lips “Is questionable.”

 

 

~

 

Everyday in the worker drone colony, V managed to surprise herself. 

 

She’d actually taken Thad up on his offer and moved out out of the tower even with her doubts.

 

Uzi and N dropped her off at her new home and she waved them goodbye reluctantly, at the door as Thad greeted her and welcomed her in.

 

Robo-god, Uzi and N were like her parents , dropping their kid off at a play date. V found herself shuddering at that sappy thought.

 

“Well,”Thad put his hands on his hips, looking up at V “We should probably give you the tour, then!”

 

V didn’t say anything aside from nod slightly.

 

Thad shouted down the corridor “Liz!!! V’s here!!!”

 

There was a tumble from inside one of the rooms and Lizzy stuck her head around the door. When she noticed the disassembly drone stood beside Thad, she grinned, eyes half lidded and stepped out, phone in hand.

 

“Sup’ Miss Petty,” Lizzy went over to join them “Finally given up living in that hole?” Her visor lit up with a neon pink smirk. Not mean but friendly for her.

 

“Lizzy,” V greeted her.

 

“Hey Liz!” Thad didn’t seem to notice the cheerful teasing vibe between the pair“I’m just giving V the grand tour , wanna come?”

 

Lizzy flicked back her hair, sassily “Of course, I’ll have to give her a proper tour of my room as well this time.”

 

Thad and Lizzy led V around gesturing to the living room and dining room where Lizzy’s dad, the teacher was sat. He looked up when they approached but gave them an indifferent stare before he continued grading papers.

 

Next, Thad showed them his room which was just how V expected it to be - sports posters and pictures from old human movies - something called Star Wars - adorned the walls.

 

“My humble abode,” Thad grinned with a mock fancy tone.

 

Then, they continued to Lizzy’s room - just as pink as V remembered. It felt different coming in from the inside rather then through the window. 

 

“You’ll be staying with Liz for the time being,” Thad informed her “She’s sorted out a bed for you and I’ve leant you a beanbag.”

 

He gave Lizzy a smile before turning back to V “Liz has been soo excited for you to come - honestly I’ve never seen her make such an effort -“

 

“Shut up Thad,” Lizzy growled an angry flush appearing on her visor. She shooed him out the door as he laughed - the interaction confusing V.

 

Lizzy flopped down onto her own bed which was covered in a fluffy pink quilt . She patted the space next to her, for V to sit down but she shook her head, not wanting to invade.

 

She stood in the centre of the room, taking it all in. There was an awkward silence before V coughed catching Lizzy’s attention.

 

“I didn’t know you and Thad were related,” the disassembly drone tried to break the tension, as she glanced up at Lizzy’s posters (mostly music ones - a Chappell Roan one stuck out to V in particular, whoever that human may be).

 

“We’re not,” for once Lizzy’s eyes weren’t glued to her screen as she watched the other drone pace around her room “Thad’s parents aren’t here anymore, so he stays with us.”

 

Shit, V realised , were Thad’s parents killed by disassembly drones? Guilt struck her temporarily. Did she kill them?

 

Lizzy seemed to notice her slight nerves, diffusing the situation by explaining more “They were killed in a assembly line accident - nothing to do with the disassembly drones. He stays with us now.”

 

V relaxed slightly but still didn’t feel quite at ease.

 

“Well,” Lizzy tried to steer the conversation away from this clearly sensitive topic “have you got any bags or anything to bring in?”

 

V was quiet, shaking her head.

 

Lizzy made a face somewhere in between amused but also sympathetic (which was a strange emotion for the worker drone) “Do you not have … anything?”

 

V frowned, but then realising, pulled her glasses from out her pocket “I have these.”

 

Lizzy’s smile grew and the disassembly drone couldn’t help but growl at her “What?”

 

“That’s cute,” Lizzy chuckled, the corners of her eyes crinkling slightly on her visor. She patted the glasses in V’s hands.

 

If V didn’t know Lizzy she’d have killed her there and then for very much as daring to call her ‘cute’. No worker drone would have even attempted to call a Murder Drone such a name. 

 

What had she become, that she was so non threatening that this small pink drone could tease her like this?

 

V narrowed her eyes, flexing her claws slightly as she looked at the worker drone as if to remind her that she was in fact, very much the opposite of what Lizzy had said.

 

However, Lizzy didn’t have seen to notice and if she did, she didn’t seem to care “Seriously, girlfriend, we need to go shopping - get you some stuff!”

 

She turned her attention to what V was wearing, circling around her and inspecting her outfit like some sort of fashion vulture “What about clothes? Do you have any other outfits?”

 

V crossed her arms, looping the wire part of her tail to grab Lizzy’s arm to stop her from moving. Lizzy halted and looked at up her “Oh my god,” she ignored the fact the disassembly drone’s tail was wrapped around her, stepping up on her tip toes in an attempt to get closer “Please tell me you still have that stunning red dress you wore to prom?” Her eyes were wide.

 

V didn’t say anything and Lizzy took that as a no. 

 

Lizzy shook her head in over the top disappointment “Girl, this look is , don’t get me wrong, super hot but we need to get you some outfits.”

 

V bared her teeth, revealing sharp canines, not sure how to deal with being called such a thing “ I’m a murder drone,” she put her hands on Lizzy’s shoulders to get her to pause with the excitement “We don’t usually do… outfits.”

 

“I know, I know,” Lizzy rolled her eyes “But it never hurts to accessorise!” She looped her arm around V’s, who huffed at the contact, and dragged her over to a pink closet in the corner of her room.

 

“As your new roommate,” she rambled , flicking through coat hangers of clothes “I am gifting you some new clothes. And you have no choice but to accept.”

 

She stopped pulling out a light pink, off the shoulder tee and matching skirt and presenting it to the disassembly drone. “There - “ she shoved it into her arms “That would look nice on you,” she paused to look V up and down.

 

V pushed her away “I’m not wearing that,” she growled. She hadn’t had different clothes that were truly hers since the manor and honestly, she did not want to think about that.

 

“Oh come on,” Lizzy pleaded “Do it for me?” She batted her eyelashes in a sickly sweetness and V groaned.

 

“No,” she said firmly.

 

“Your loss.”

 

V went to inspect her new bed - away from the other drone - a mattress on the floor beside Lizzy’s bed. Lizzy had obviously set a bedside table of sorts next to it in an attempt to make it seem more part of the room.

 

V paused, tail wrapping around her legs. Before when she slept at the tower, she didn’t have as much of a bed, so it was an improvement of sorts.

 

She set her glasses on the table and turned back to Lizzy who had resumed her position on her own bed, phone in hand.

 

“Liz…” Lizzy’s eyes flicked up from the screen “Thad calls you Liz, huh?”

 

“It’s just a stupid nickname,” Lizzy tried to look away, embarrassed.

 

V laughed, teeth glinting “I might start calling you that, too.”

 

“Oh robo-god no.”

 

V flicked her tail in amusement, “Okay, Elizabeth.”

 

There was an outrages squeal from Lizzy who snapped up “You dare-“

 

V raised her eyebrows, opening her mouth, but before she could speak a pillow hit her smack in the face.

 

There was a pause as the pillow dropped to the ground and V stood stunned temporarily.

 

Her head turned to the blonde haired worker drone “Did you just … hit me with … a pillow?”

 

Suddenly, Lizzy burst out laughing , falling back on the bed, clutching her stomach in a fit of giggles.

 

When she finally regained herself she sat up and looked at a still blank V “Come on girl, it’s a joke. It’s what girls do at sleepovers.”

 

V blinked. She’s never been on sleepovers unless you counted the times she slept with the other drones and Tessa at the manor.

 

“It’s a pillow fight,” Lizzy tried to elaborate “You can hit back-“

 

Before she could finish V grabbed the pillow and smacked her square on the back of her head.

 

Lizzy collapsed onto her blanket and for a second V thought , Have I killed her ? Was is too rough? I know worker drones can be delicate but-

 

Her concerns were stopped when the pink worker drone emerged from the blankets laughing.

 

When she saw her face, Lizzy’s giggles intensified “Oh my Robo-God you were worried there for a second weren’t you?”

 

V frowned making an unimpressed “Hmph” noise in the back of her throat.

 

Lizzy stayed lounged on the bed whilst V went to sort out her own bed.

 

Lizzy stretched “Well, I’m going to sleep - I don’t know about you but I am tired.”

 

“Yeah,” V agreed and Lizzy went to holler down the corridor “We’re going to sleep now - night Dad. Night Thadddd!”

 

A ‘Night!’ In response came from Thad’s room then there was silence again.

 

She then went back to her bed as though nothing had happened and V raised her eyebrow.

 

“Huh?” Lizzy saw her confusion

 

“Do you do that every night?” V asked.

 

“Yeah,” Lizzy didn’t look up from her screen “Family bonding or whatever.”

 

That must be a worker drone thing. Strange.

 

V then watched as Lizzy got herself more settled in her bed, covering the quilt over herself.

 

Disassembly drones didn’t usually use blankets, they had no issues with getting cold like worker drones.

 

Lizzy remained on her phone for a while and V forgot she was staring before she acknowledged it “Well? I thought you were going to go into sleep mode too.”

 

“I am,” V chewed at her bottom lip with her teeth “Do you mind if I…” she trailed off.

 

Lizzy was confused “Mind if you what…?”

 

“Hang…”

 

The worker drone’s focus was now entirely on V “What from the ceiling…? Like a bat…?” Her eyes flicked between the ceiling and V.

 

“A … bat?” V tilted her head.

 

“You know…” Lizzy tried to explain “The little flying mammal thing -“

 

V huffed in offence, tail lashing angrily “What are you trying to call me?”

 

“Oh robo-god, you are hopeless,” Lizzy stared at her “Bat’s are cute fluffy things (mostly) and they hang from the ceiling when they sleep.”

 

V did not like the implications there so she turned away from the worker.

 

“I mean go ahead,” Lizzy returned to her phone “Hang like a bat if you want.”

 

The Disassembly drone ignored her bat statement and crawled up to the ceiling to find a good point to hang from. Using her legs and tails she secured that position and stretched out her wings to cover her body entirely, like a metal cocoon.

 

She heard a laugh from outside and peeked her head through her wings “What?”

 

Lizzy was looking at her “Nothing,” she snickered “Just thinking about how you are 100% a bat right now.”

 

V scowled at her “Go into sleep mode,” she returned into her wings.

 

“Night then,” she heard Lizzy say before she herself whispered a quiet “Night.”

 

The Disassembly drone curled herself tighter into her wings not quite being able to go into sleep mode just yet. 

 

It was a strange feeling being here - in many ways she felt exposed despite being in the same defensive sleeping position that she slept in at her time at the tower.

 

Pfft - as though she was at risk alone with Lizzy - just a little worker drone. 

 

She held the power. She was not exposed. If anything Lizzy was.

 

What sort of worker drone offers to sleep in the same room as a disassembly drone - so easily, so … fearlessly?

 

Well, apart from Uzi who was well … Uzi.

 

She could kill all three of the drones in this house where they slept - and yet they let her stay - invited her inside.

 

There was a ebbing feeling inside of V - maybe guilt at thinking such a thought in her … friend’s … house but she would never admit that.

 

She readjusted her tail’s grip on the ceiling and looked over at the worker drone on the other bed through the tiniest gap in her wings.

 

Lizzy wasn’t asleep yet - her phone was still in front of her - but her visor had dimmed and eyelids were drooping with tiredness.

 

V let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding and focused on resting. She could hear her own core whirring rhythmically and Lizzy’s more slowed, gentle breathing from across the room.

 

She sat in silence listening to those sounds for a while before she let herself slip into sleep mode.

 

 

Chapter 2: so I pushed you down like a million times

Summary:

After feeling cooped up in the worker drone classroom, V goes out to fly and be alone.

A certain blonde worker drone ventures after her and an inevitable argument and confession(?) follows

Notes:

I actually have been really enjoy writing this fic - writing about disassembly drones and how they move is so fun!

Also for clarification - Cauda means tail. Just fancy vocab lol.

I will get to changing the formatting this chapter & the last one later as well as changing the chapter title, do not worry.

Thank you so much to everyone who left kudos and my first commenter on this fic!thank you! I really appreciate it!

“You two,” the teacher called across the classroom to V and Lizzy “Focus. Or don’t. I don’t care.”

 

The pair had found desks at the back of the classroom and Lizzy had insisted they sit together, shoving the disassembly drone down on a seat.

 

This area at the back has been appointed to N and V as most drones tried to keep their distance from them. Quite frankly, they couldn’t complain - it was private, away from the stares.

 

Uzi (and from time to time Thad) hung around with them. Uzi and N were practically inseparable ever since the incident with the solver.

 

Strangely enough, Lizzy had been clung more to V when they were around the whole group , maybe she felt alienated since … she had been friends with Doll.

 

V didn’t know how to feel that she could potentially be a replacement for the dead solver host for Lizzy. She would’ve been pissed if that was the case. And maybe a little upset betrayed.

 

Lizzy was leant into her showing her memes on her phone and chatting loudly enough for the teacher to have to remind her many a time to quieten down.

 

She was awfully touchy with V and the disassembly drone had to remind her to keep a distance from time to time before Uzi or anybody gave her a strange look.

 

V twirled a pen between her claws, not quite focusing on what Lizzy or the teacher were saying.

 

Disassembly drones didn’t go to school and the worker drone curriculum was confusing and pointless to V - they’d been dropped into it half way through the year and quite frankly she didn’t feel the need to keep up. 

 

N of course was a model student, zealously raising his hand to answer every question, sometimes even more than the other worker drone students. 

 

V felt so stupid. She was a murder drone for robo-god’s sake, cooped up in this stuffy classroom.

 

She had to get out. She had to stretch her wings away from all these drones and talking and algebra. She crushed the pen between her hands, the plastic casing shattering in her grip.

 

“I’m going outside,” V stood up abruptly making Lizzy who was scooted up on her chair next to the other girl, jump. 

 

There was stares and all eyes were on her as she left - no one dared utter a word as V flaunted past dangerously, flicking her cauda, specifically the acid canister part sharply at anyone who dared look her way for too long.

 

When she finally escaped the corridor she spread her wings, flying lowly and tightly until she reached the main door to the outside, her visor glowing a yellow x shape.

 

There sat the three worker drones who usually manned the door, playing cards like usual.

 

V couldn’t help but think about how easily she could pick each of these drones off, one by one. How easily she could slice her blade through each of their fragile necks and swiftly take them out. So simply, so quick.

 

They glanced up from their card game when she approached, looking uneasy as they saw the disassembly drone.

 

V’s eyes flicked back to hollow dots and she raised her wings in what she hoped to appear menacing but not too threatening “I want to go outside,” she ordered.

 

The worker drones looked between one another and nodded, one swiping a card to allow V outside.

 

V spread her wings once again. Pushing off into the sky, she let the icy breeze lift her - it felt so good to feel it again.

 

She flexed the joints of her shoulders, her claws, letting herself loosen. 

 

She let herself laugh, a deep primeval laugh, as she flew, slashing towers with her talons so they fell with great clouds of debris.

 

Now this was real fun.

 

Destruction.

 

 

She soared over to one of the tallest buildings, to perch and guard over the emptiness.

 

Out of the corner of her eye she spotted movement - a lone worker drone wondering out here so late? Weird.

 

V spread her wings, a conniving grin forming on her face.

 

She flexed her claws, switching to her blade - she wouldn’t kill them. Just toy with them - so they wouldn’t come back and stay away from the danger.

 

She was practically doing them a favour.

 

The disassembly drone pushed off from her tower perch and flew closer to the wondering drone, circling them before landing heavily with a crunch in the snow.

 

Suddenly, a flash of recognition went through her mind.

 

She frowned “Lizzy?”.

 

 

The pink tinted worker drone jumped in surprise, clutching her core and laughing nervously “Robo-god V you scared me. You came down from the sky like some kind of … angel of death.” She laughed again then went to look down at her phone, seemingly unbothered by V’s presence.

 

V’s frown intensified and she went to snatch the device from Lizzy’s hands holding it above the small drone’s reach.

 

“Hey!” She protested, jumping and flailing around in an attempt to retrieve it.

 

“Why the hell are you out here?” V growled “It’s dangerous.”

 

You don’t know what’s out here , V thought to herself.

 

“It’s fine,” Lizzy rolled her eyes “That J chick is dead and there’s no other disassembly drones aside from you and the golden retriever boy.”

She gave V a smirk “And trust me - you’re both harmless.” She drew the last word out, lapping up V’s annoyance “Even if I was approached by some rogue disassembly drone, I’d punch them straight through the visor.” Lizzy held up a fist, grinning as through to prove a point.

 

V rolled her eyes and hissed through bared teeth “Why are you out here Lizzy?”.

 

“Oh yeah,” Lizzy seemed to remember “Me and Thad are having dinner. We didn’t know if you wanted to come.”

 

 V was slightly dumbfounded. She narrowed her eyes “Is that all?” Annoyance seeping through her words.

 

“Uh yeah,” Lizzy didn’t seem to pick up on this “You can come if you want. Or don’t. Whatever.” Her visor flushed pink as though she was embarrassed that she’d even offered it.

 

“I’ll come,” V straightened herself, one of her eyes flickering back to an x “But in a bit. You should go back inside though.” Using a singular talon blade she slowly scratched the metal next to the right of Lizzy’s core, leaving a tiny, thin mark. She could hear the worker drone’s fans whirring wildly.

 

Lizzy batted V’s blade away almost fearlessly “Gosh, okay, I’ll go back, Miss Petty. You better not ditch us now. And,” she tapped the fresh scratch on her metal “You better fix this later.”

 

V pursed her lips “Fine,” she chucked the phone back at the worker drone who caught it frantically before taking back to the sky.

 

“Bye to you too bestie!” Lizzy called after her and V glanced back noticing she returned to scrolling on her screen.

 

V let out a growl, not turning back.

 

~

 

V returned to the top of the towers, doing what could only be described as skulking for a while before once again her peace and quiet was interrupted. 

 

This time it was the ‘power couple’ themselves- Uzi with the solver wings flying alongside her boyfriend N who was doing playful loops around her. 

 

When they noticed V, they flew up to her , N grinning and giving a quick wave “Hey V!” He did an excitable twirl midair before landing beside her. 

 

Uzi touched down too, next to N. 

 

“Feels so good to spread your wings huh?” N smiled, shaking snow of his wings before retracting them.

 

V nodded in agreement before groaning “I can’t get any peace and quiet though. Everyone’s out these days,” she flicked her tail in annoyance “First Lizzy, now you two.”

 

N rubbed the back of his neck “Sorry.”

 

Uzi stepped forward, purple eyebrow raised on her visor “Wait … Lizzy?”

 

V turned to her “Yes. I made her go back.”

 

“We didn’t see her on they way here,” N stepped closer to Uzi twining his tail nervously around her tail to which she reciprocated.

 

“Oh robo-godddd,” V spread her wings again, worry plastered on her face before she quickly flicked to the x symbol on her visor to hide it.

 

Uzi and N followed as V scanned the unforgiving terrain desperately trying to find any sign of the small blonde drone.

 

N looked concerned “Was she heading back to the colony?”

 

“Yes,” V growled “I made her go back - it’s not safe for worker drones.”

 

Uzi gave her a look and V corrected herself “Most worker drones - who don’t have the solver.”

 

After minutes of frantic searching (well, V and N were searching frantically - Uzi was a lot more laid back), V spotted a head of blonde hair amongst the snow. 

 

A familiar sentinel was approaching the worker drone who was seemingly attempting to fend the creature off with a discarded arm from a corpse.

 

Shiiiiiiit. She forgot about Sparky. The sentinels.

 

Lizzy had now whacked Sparky with the arm and the sentinel had snapped at her narrowly missing Lizzy’s own arm.

 

V swooped in, grabbing Lizzy by the shoulders and hoisting the drone away from Sparky’s reach.

 

“It’s about time,” Lizzy grumbled in her arms “That thing ate my phone.”

 

V carried a pouting Lizzy away, bridal style with Uzi and N on her heel until she reached the door back inside. She dropped the worker drone into the snow who landed with a thud and a muffled ‘hey!’.

 

“You shouldn’t have gone outside alone,” V said gruffly not looking directly at Lizzy who was frowning.

 

She put her hands up affrontedly “Well I’m sorry you’re such a lone wolf or whatever and no one can get in contact with you.”

 

Uzi and N behind the pair exchanged a look, walking close to them but not wanting to get involved with the heated argument that was arising between the two girls. 

 

The doors opened, allowing the four drones to step inside. Once the doors shut behind them, V turned to Lizzy, “Lone wolf? Really?”

 

Lizzy crossed her arms “Yeah. And since when do you care about me anyways?”

 

From behind them, V could hear Uzi and N go “Ohhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Damnnnnn!”and she whipped around to glare at them, Uzi barely containing a snigger before they both went quiet.

 

Lizzy stormed down the corridor, V close behind her. Heads turned as they went past but then hurriedly turned away after seeing who was causing such a scene.

 

“Because-“ for once V stuttered “I-“ 

 

Lizzy cut her off “And don’t say because I’m your free accommodation. I don’t want to only be a tool for you.” She stopped on the spot before leaning closer to the disassembly drone, hurt and anger written on her face.

 

“No,” V said firmly “It’s because I like you.”

 

There was absolute silence as Lizzy registered what she had just said. V could practically hear her fans whirring and the sporadic beating of her core she was so close. Even Uzi and N had shut up at this point.

 

Lizzy’s face was expressionless aside from a pair of hollow, wide eyes. She seemed to be in shock. Had she heard her properly?

 

“You’re my friend,” V repeated and that seemed to snap Lizzy out of it.

 

She blinked away a look like disappointment before a smirk formed on her face “So what you’re saying…. Is that you care about me?”

 

She batted her eyelashes and ran a hand down the curve of V’s claws “The big old angel of death cares about me? Miss Petty herself?” She barked a laugh, the light returning to her visor.

 

V flicked her tail dismissively, speckles of flustered blush appearing at the bottom of her visor “I’m just … sorry … for leaving you.” She managed to make out. It felt weird apologising. Robo-god.

 

Lizzy’s smile widened, less teasing now, more genuine “I forgive you girlfriend.’She hooked an arm around V’s “And for the record … I’m sorry about going out alone like that … you were right,” she murmured the last park.

 

V let herself smile too “What was that? Couldn’t quite hear you?”

 

Lizzy rolled her eyes but was still smiling.

 

“This is new,” Uzi interrupted , smirking, hands on hips as she looked between them “You two actually apologising~” V had forgotten that they’d been there the whole time

 

“And in public too!” N added “Gosh!”

 

“Shut up!” V and Lizzy practically hollered in unison at them both.

 

N put his hands up but Uzi was grinning still, amused.

 

A voice interrupted the whole scene “Oh hey Liz.” Thad looked between them all, then mostly to Lizzy and V “ Are you guys going to come to dinner? It is very cold now.”

 

Lizzy glanced at V then laughed “Whoops. I entirely forgot about that, Thad.”

 

Thad shrugged it off “It’s fine,” he then looked to Uzi and N “ Sup ‘Zi. N and M’s. Do you guys wanna come over too? We could watch a movie and make something else to eat.”

 

N smiled at Uzi expectantly and she nodded “You know what, sure. That sounds cool.”

 

He put his arm around her shoulder “We’re in.”

 

Lizzy put her hands on her hips staring up at V “How about you - you up for it?”

 

“You know it,” V crossed her arms and leant down to Lizzy’s height, a confident, sharp smile on her face “Liz~” She wrapped her tail around Lizzy’s body, steering her forwards.

 

The pair led the way to Thad and Lizzy’s apartment.

Notes:

Thanks for reading this chapter! I have gone down a Vizzy wormhole and quite frankly I’m not complaining lol!

Next chapter coming soon!!! (They watch mean girls in the next one ofc - what else would they watch?)

Chapter 3: i’d love if you knew you were in my mind, constant like cicadas in the summertime

Summary:

V, Lizzy, Uzi, N and Thad watch Mean Girls. V tries popcorn and Lizzy discovers something very important about the disassembly drone.

Notes:

New chapterrrr :3

I got distracted by vizzy again but don’t worry there is a bit more Nuzi in this one. Also I haven’t watched mean girls in a while but I remember going to many a sleepover/girls hangout and watching it so I Ofc had to make them watch it.

Also the whole popcorn thing - drones probably can’t eat human food but humour me on this one - I love the taste of popcorn and I can’t watch a good movie without it!!!

I’m probably going to up the rating of this fic as well because there are some swear words (well one in this chapter) that will come up. Also slightly suggestive humour but do not worry it’s barely anything and nothing like that actually happens.

Sorry for the long a/n and enjoy the chapter!!!

Edit: I have been banned from eating popcorn after consuming two whole buckets

“Movie in your room Liz?” Thad asked, letting the five of them inside.

 

Lizzy flicked back her hair, “As long as I get to choose!” She ignored the others and hooked her arm around V, racing to her room.

 

Thad led out a fond laugh, explaining to Uzi and N “It’s probably going to be Mean Girls then. It’s always Mean Girls.”

 

“Of course,” Uzi rolled her eyes “No wonder - that’s probably where she got most of her personality from.”

 

Lizzy appeared in the doorway “Shut it nerd. It’s not my fault Regina George was such an icon.”

 

Uzi folded her arms “Hm. Sureeeeee - but Janice was cooler - bite me.”

 

Lizzy objected “Absolutely not - Regina was- “

 

N gave them all a bewildered look “Mean Girls …?”

 

“Oh, my Robo-God,” Lizzy’s head slowly turned to N, face absolute shock “Have you never watched Mean Girls?!”

 

N laughed awkwardly “Uh … no…?”

 

Lizzy blinked at him “Have you been living under a rock? It’s only the best movie of all time!”

 

Uzi made a pained sound “Ehhhhh…”

 

Lizzy ignored her, grabbing N’s shoulders and shaking him hard “How have you not seen it? It’s iconic!”

 

N was freed from Lizzy’s grip by Uzi who pulled him away hastily, teeth bared at the blonde.

 

V appeared from the doorway of Lizzy’s room and the pink eyed worker drone ran up to her “V! Please tell me you’ve seen Mean Girls!”

 

V glanced at the others confused before looking back down at Lizzy “No?”

 

Lizzy practically collapsed into V’s arms, fanning her head and clutching her non existent pearls dramatically “I cannot believe this - I’m surrounded by people who’ve never watched Mean Girls!!!!”

 

Uzi rolled her eyes again, Thad laughed wryly and N still looked thoroughly confused.

 

V raised an eyebrow at the melodramatic worker drone in her arms and turned carrying her away into the bedroom. She dropped Lizzy onto the bed and she landed with a ‘oof’ before looking up.

 

Lizzy grinned, eyes half-lidded but entirely teasing “Gosh - you’re forward.”

 

V didn’t know how to respond, she just turned and made her way back into the other room - her stubborn frown she hoped was overriding the blush that was forming on her visor.

 

“Byeeee bestieeeee~” Lizzy called over her shoulder.

 

V returned to the dining room where Thad had made some food - which he informed them to be something called ‘popcorn’ which V had only heard Tessa talk about back in the manor.

 

Then, together they went back through to Lizzy’s room where she had set up the movie (and was sat crosslegged on her bed shooting V a smirk).

 

V chose to sit on her own bed, twining her tail around herself and Uzi and N sat on a beanbag together. Uzi swatted him away as N hugged her from behind however her visor was flushed and she eventually gave in to his display of affection, all flustered , to which he giggled.

 

Thad had retrieved another beanbag from his own room and placed himself next to Uzi and N, seemingly unbothered by their ‘new couple fluffiness’, chucking popcorn in his mouth.

 

“Everyone ready?” Lizzy questioned and the group nodded “Good because I’m starting it anyway.”

 

The movie started and V watched, amused by this human movie that Lizzy loved so dearly. The drama, the friendships, the betrayals - it was very … her.

 

V focused on one character in particular, the one Lizzy had mentioned before, Regina George.

 

She was an interesting character - V could see why Lizzy liked her as part of her was reflected in herself. The stereotypical mean blonde girl, but with more layers of cunning.

 

It was so obvious, V couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Of course this was Lizzy’s favourite character.

 

At some points in the movie, V caught herself laughing…

 

She corrected herself with a cough as she noticed Lizzy grinning smugly in her direction.

 

Part way through, Thad nudged V, offering up some of the popcorn from the bowl.

 

V paused , looking at the bowl before back up at Thad who gave her an encouraging nod. 

 

“Don’t worry,” he assured her, chuckling “It’s perfectly edible.” Before Lizzy shushed him sternly.

 

V picked up one of the little pieces, observing the small kernel and turning it between her claws. Then, she placed it in her mouth, taking in the taste and texture.

 

It didn’t have the metallic taste that V was used to but instead was sweeter. It was certainly different but not unwelcome.

 

She was a drone, not a human, so she didn’t crave sustenance like this, however it was nice to try it.

 

“Good, huh?” Thad whispered offering her some more which she declined as Lizzy threw a pillow at the worker to be quiet.

 

“Stop feeding her your weird human food Thad and let her watch the movie,” Lizzy went over and dropped herself next to the disassembly drone leaning her head on her shoulder, “Let her concentrate.”

 

V looked down at her in an amused way. Hard to concentrate when you’ve just practically planted yourself on my lap , V thought to herself. Lizzy was bold - way too bold for her own good.

 

She paused before wrapping her tail around Lizzy’s waist - if she was going to be bold like this, she would too.

 

V heard Lizzy let out a muffled noise, surprised maybe by V’s action. She quickly glanced at V before ignoring her and continuing to watch the movie.

 

Unsatisfied by Lizzy’s reaction, V attempted to do something else to get more of Lizzy’s attention.

 

 Why? It was fun, to tease and mess with the worker drone. No one would be so brave around her without a consequence. V had an idea of what would get a stir out of the girl. 

 

So, she let herself lean into Lizzy , nuzzling into her neck gently as her tail trailed circles on her back with the pointed part of the canister before putting her own head on top of Lizzy’s.

 

It was an affectionate action with a hint of danger behind it, one V thought that the other drone couldn’t resist.

 

She was right - Lizzy let out a squeal before shoving V away, flustered. 

 

“V!” She yelped but not loud enough for the others to hear ,“You are such a … cat!”

 

V froze. That certainly was not the desired effect. “Cat?” She flicked her tail “What?”

 

Lizzy elaborated “I was wrong. You’re so not a bat - you’re a cat!”

 

V huffed, offended. She drew her tail away from Lizzy’s and sat back upright arms crossed.

 

“Awww come on, girl - I mean that in the best possible way,” Lizzy blinked up at V trying to look serious but a smirk threatened to make its way onto her face.

 

“Hmph,” V made a noise before reluctantly giving in and letting Lizzy return to her place on V’s shoulder.

 

Lizzy didn’t seem to know when to stop “I bet you’re such a cat that you even purr ~” She whispered to V.

 

That was it. V stood up (initially blocking the view of the movie to which was followed by a chorus of complaints) before flying to the ceiling and positioning herself in the cocoon like way with her wings, tail keeping her hanging.

 

“I’m going to sleep,” She announced before covering herself.

 

She could hear Lizzy’s whining and N, Uzi and Thad’s laughter.

 

“Fine! Be that way Miss Petty!” Lizzy shouted back at the drone and she could hear her press the buttons on the remote “I’m continuing the movie!”

 

The corners of V’s mouth couldn’t help but upturn inside the safety of her wings and once the focus was well away from her she left a gap in her wings to peek through and continue to watch.

 

V could tell when the movie had ended as Uzi and Lizzy had continued their argument from earlier neither seemingly seeing the message from the movie.

 

“Robo-god, I don’t even know why I let you into my room - how can you not like Mean Girls?” That was definitely Lizzy.

 

Uzi argued back “I just think there are movies with better characters than Regina George - she’s such a bitch-“

 

“Uzi! Language!” N frowned.

 

“Uh sorry. She’s such a biscuit!” Uzi corrected herself to which Lizzy rolled her eyes.

 

N had made the mistake of taking the side against his girlfriend “I liked the movie! On ‘Wednesdays we wear pink’ we should totally do that Uzi!!!!”

 

Uzi gave up arguing “Sure N, maybe,” Uzi stood up on her tip toes to gently press her a kiss to N’s cheek, their visors meeting briefly with a quiet ‘bonk’. She took his hand leading him out after waving them all of “See ya Thad! Good riddance Lizzy - tell the bat over there I say bye!” V could imagine Lizzy rolling her eyes at the statement.

 

“Bye ‘Zi! N and M’s!” V heard Thad yell after them and the click of the door shutting.

 

V hurriedly closed her wings around her body more tightly as Lizzy returned to her room, shouting “Night Thad! Night Dad!”

 

 

She heard Lizzy flop onto her bead and soon enough she called over to the disassembly drone “I know you’ve been awake, watching this whole time, girl - you can come out.”

 

V stirred slightly before deciding to retract her wings to wings and crawl down from the ceiling. Lizzy didn’t even look up from her phone as she smirked “I knew it.”

 

V didn’t say anything, instead choosing to narrow her eyes at the worker drone, perching herself on her designated mattress on the floor.

 

“So,” Lizzy still didn’t look up “Did you enjoy the movie then, batgirl?”

 

V growled “Don’t call me that. And yes it was certainly very … you.”

 

Lizzy flicked her hair, actually looking at V “Of course it is,” she shot her a sharp grin and patted the space next to her on her bed for her to sit down.

 

The disassembly drone paused, flicking her tail. Uncertainly, she slipped across the room to sit next to Lizzy on the fluffy pink quilt. It certainly felt undignified, the way Lizzy reached out to cradle her in her arms and the way V had let her.

 

V wasn’t well versed in worker drone friendships - perhaps this was perfectly normal - another female friend holding you so closely and tightly at every opportunity they had in a way that tore your core to shreds with confusion but also a sort of longing. The way she had let this girl be so close to her for a reason she could not explain.

 

V was leaning on the other drones shoulders now and Lizzy scrolled her phone as she ran her hands through V’s hair.

 

V let her and she watched over Lizzy’s shoulder at the screen but mostly at the worker drone herself. She observed her visor - she had an expression of content on her face - so uncaring, so fearless as she sat tangled up in V’s arms.

 

V sat for a while marvelling at her as Lizzy sat not noticing. For the first time in a while, she couldn’t suppress a small smile from forming on her lips.

 

This was comfortable. This was nice.

 

“Woah,” Lizzy’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts - she’d been concentrating on the worker drone in front of her “V, oh my robo-god …. are you purring?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes:

I Will always be a disassembly drones are like cats truther -I can totally imagine V and N being all cat-like.

Thanks so much for reading this chapter and this fic!!! Tysm if you left a kudos or a comment, it’s really appreciated and cherished!!!!

New chapter coming soon!!! There may be the reappearance of a certain character…. And also V and Lizzy are going to go shopping so you’ve got that to look forward to!!!! ^_^

Chapter 4: bedazzled, chanel rings

Summary:

V and Lizzy go shopping. Lizzy is her lesbian self and V is well… oblivious.

Notes:

Haiiiii, sorry I haven’t posted in a while - I was gonna have this chapter and the next chapter as one big one but I thought it’s gonna take me a while to release one huge chap, why don’t I post two seperate chapters sooner instead? So here you go! Enjoy!

Also this probably means I’ll add another chapter on (7 chapters instead of 6 in the end) but we’ll see what will work.

Also fyi the chapter names are just based on particular lines in the song Naked in Manhattan - they are not in order and just are whatever I think fit the story.

Thank you so much for all the kudos and comments and subscriptions it means the world . :3 <3

A sudden blush flashed across V’s face, she jumped, like a frightened cat, away from Lizzy who erupted into a cascade of giggles, tears of laughter forming on her visor. 

 

“I am not!” She protested “You- you’re the one who’s purring.” 

 

Lizzy rolled her eyes “Wow great save, kittycat~” she cooed sweetly “Now come here, bestie.”

 

V frowned, flicking her tail. If Lizzy wasn’t, well , Lizzy and another drone dared suggest she was something as condescending as a cat they’d be six foot under due to a very grizzly set of circumstances.

 

Lizzy reached out for the disassembly drone to resume their embrace and hesitantly V wrapped herself around the worker drone again.

 

“Sooo~” Lizzy was still her phone but glanced down at V from time to time “Me and Thad have had like the most amazing idea.” She paused expectantly.

 

V looked at her, a small smirk on her face that revealed sharp canines “Hm?” She took a talon and twirled a strand of Lizzy’s hair focusing on the drone intently rather than the moodboard on the screen she had turned towards V.

 

Lizzy’s eyes sparkled “Prom 2.0!!!”

 

V blinked “After what happened last time…?”

 

Lizzy took a sharp, exaggerated intake of breath “I know…but think of it as a do over with less betrayal and fighting and…” she winced “Murderous solver wielding drones.”

 

V knew exactly who she was referring to. Doll.

 

V opened her mouth to question the drone more about that but Lizzy interrupted, eager to change the subject from her ex-bestie (and by the looks of it a lot of repressed feelings.)

 

“Plus,” she nudged V with her elbow, waggling her eyebrows “I get to see you in another smoking hot outfit so that’s a bonus.” She shot her playful finger guns and V rolled her eyes.

 

“So,” Lizzy announced “What do you think? Up for it? I’m gonna be the best prom planner everrrr!!!!”

 

V paused “I mean I’m not entirely against it… are you sure the worker drones will want … me to be there?”

 

“Come on V! Who cares about them !!! If you come with me no one will say anythingggg~” Lizzy looked up at V batting her eyelashes pleadingly.

 

V raised her eyebrows “Fine, I’ll come,” Lizzy let out a celebratory noise hugging V tighter who made a muffled noise of surprise at the contact.

 

“OMRG! I can’t waitttt!!!” Lizzy quickly went back to typing on her phone “I’m going to plan the best prom ever and we are go together and look so good~”

 

V listened to Lizzy’s Prom ramblings before the worker drone eventually trailed off focusing entirely of her screen. 

 

V flicked her tail, stretching as she lay down to a more reclined position on Lizzy’s bed. 

 

On the one hand,V had her concerns surrounding Prom 2.0. On how the worker drones would react to the drone who had rather threateningly interrupted the previous prom going to the next one as one of the popular girl’s (who had let a murderous robot into the colony to kill everyone not to mention) plus one.

 

On the other hand, how could she resist the glamour of it all? Maybe it would be a chance to just have a good night with Lizzy and their friends. Also, felt her core flutter (for some reason unbeknownst to V) at the thought that Lizzy of all drones wanted to go with her to prom. 

 

This was stupid - she’d gone so soft and mushy that Prom was now a concern to her of all things. She’d just go and not care what anyone else thought.

 

“Are you going to hang tonight?” Lizzy’s dulcet tones snapped V out of her thoughts “Or stay with me?” She had put her phone down now and had rolled over to lay facing V, their faces close.

 

V observed her face “Depends…” V felt a smile creep onto her face and she kept her voice quiet and gentle, unmoving opposite Lizzy “What do you feel like Liz? Gonna let me stay?”

 

“Uhhh…I-You-“ Unexpectedly Lizzy stuttered, her visor covered in pink blush, her eyes wide “I- I don’t care. Whatever.” 

 

V’s grin widened revealing her canines and Lizzy put her hand on her chest pushing her away as she covered her quickly growing pink face “Just go into sleep mode.”

 

V laughed quietly to herself and let herself curl around the other drone, extending her wings and placing them over Lizzy like a metallic blanket. 

 

The disassembly drone felt Lizzy lean into her too, the lights of her visor dimming.

 

“Night,” Lizzy whispered.

 

V smiled “Night,” and soon enough she watched as Lizzy’s visor flicked onto sleep mode. 

 

V couldn’t help but smile more - it felt … good to have Lizzy. To be able to have a friend like her.

 

 

~

 

 

Surprisingly, V woke up alone. 

 

She yawned groggily before fluffing out her wings and sitting up.

 

The spot felt so empty without Lizzy and V wondered how long she’d been alone.

 

Reluctant to leave the comfy nest and the memories of being curled up with the worker drone, she dragged herself out of the bed and made her way to the kitchen where she eventually found just the drone she had been looking for.

 

“Morning bestie,” Lizzy greeted her brightly - the drone had a coffee in hand and was sat beside her father at the dining table who was sipping a mug of the same beverage, whilst reading a newspaper. 

 

V grumbled a quick response, pulling up a chair next to Lizzy’s Dad who barely even acknowledged her.

 

“Hey guys,” Thad burst into the room smiling - it seemed that everyone else in the apartment was full of morning energy aside from V (and well, Lizzy’s dad was hard to read to be honest).

 

“How’d you all sleep?” Thad grabbed some nuts and bolts cereal from the box before chucking it in his mouth.

 

“Good!” V heard Lizzy practically sing as she took as she took a sip of her drink looking mostly at the disassembly drone, with a smirk, to which the others aside from V didn’t seem to notice.

 

“Oh!” Lizzy announced “By the way, me and V are going to the mall today to look for some prom outfits,” she added “and for V just outfits in general.”

 

V raised an eyebrow giving Lizzy a look as though to say, we are?

 

“Okay - I’ll probably tag along and go in some of the sport shops,” Thad piped in.

 

Lizzy rolled her eyes - of course, “Sure, whatever.”

 

Thad took another bite of his food before focusing his attention on V “So - Lizzy’s obviously told you about about our prom plans - what do you think?”

 

“I mean I’m down for it,” V flicked her tail, “As a do over - for what happened last year.”

 

Thad laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head “Yeah… hah, “ he added “But I promise you it’ll be great - even bigger and better!”

 

“I know,” the corner of V’s lips curled into a smirk “Trust me Lizzy’s told me all about it .”

 

Thad laughed again, properly this time “I bet! Well if you ever want to help us out we could really use a helping hand or uh… claw.”

 

V nodded but soon enough was interrupted by Lizzy who put her hands on the disassembly drone’s shoulders “Well,” she declared “I better go get ready to go out - I’ll let you have breakfast V.”

 

Just before she left, Lizzy leant down to whisper teasingly “You so hogged the blanket last night,” before planting a brief kiss on V’s cheek.

 

Before V could even register what had just happened to her, Lizzy vanished into her own room.

 

~

 

It took about an hour and a half before Lizzy decided she was finally ready. In that time, V had sorted herself out - oiling her wings and putting on her glasses. Just before she finished getting ready, the outfit Lizzy had picked out on her first night staying with them caught V’s eye. She picked up the clothes from the corner, feeling them in her claws before gently slipping them on, carful not to rip them on her talons.

 

The vibe of the skirt and off the shoulder tee was certainly an interesting one - the baby pink colour was different but not bad, it went with the yellow of her features on her visor.

 

V heard a gasp from the doorway - Lizzy had returned from the bathroom (where she’d been playing around with the graphics on her visor, changing up her virtual make up).

 

“You’re wearing the outfit I picked out for you!” Lizzy exclaimed, running up to V who glanced away with embarrassment “So cute, girl ,” Lizzy stood and admired the other drone who was now blushing profusely and angrily “Pink’s a good colour on you! I knew you’d suit it,” she smirked slyly.

 

V wound her tail around Lizzy pushing her away “Oh shush,” she growled which only made Lizzy laugh.

 

Together, the pair made their way out of the bedroom and were joined by Thad as they went out. 

 

~

 

To describe it as a mall was perhaps an overstatement.

 

V of course had never been to a mall before, it was much more of a human thing, but whatever she had envisioned was much more exciting-looking. 

 

At most it was a few shops and stalls - mostly clothing accessory shops and spare parts places but also the occasional drink bar. In many ways, it was more of a drone’s interpretation of what they imagined a mall to look like.

 

Soon enough, Thad left them, running in the direction of some sort of sports memorabilia shop and Lizzy dragged V to the nearest clothes shop, arm hooked around V’s own.

 

This shop was full of racks of various garments of clothing, some ranging from casual to gaudy and glittery.

 

V cocked an eyebrow at a particularly fluffy feather boa as they past the racks and Lizzy lead her - holding V’s hand now - to the back of the shop. There stood a bored looking employee at a register, checking her nails and a few changing rooms, each cubicle with its own velvety red curtain.

 

It was silly, V thought, that such a place even existed since they were, after all, robots, however the drones had adopted the concept of accessorising from the humans. It gave them more of a uniqueness - a sense of individuality - and V had come to appreciate that more during her time with the worker drones. After she stopped seeing every worker drone so much as prey to hunt down but an individual drone with their own lives and thoughts.

 

She also wasn’t immune to wanting to look good herself. She’d always liked to look sleek and stylish - in a deadly kind of way though.

 

Lizzy pushed her into one of the stalls “You stay here - I’ll go get some clothes for you to try on!” She drew the curtain before V could say anything, leaving her alone.

 

V sighed, taking off her glasses and putting them to the side.

 

After a few minutes, Lizzy had returned “V, you decent? Can you open the curtain?”

 

V opened the velvety curtain, letting the worker drone step inside. Her arms were full of piles and piles of clothes and she shoved them into to V’s claws “There! You try them on and I’ll be waiting outside to see every single one!”

 

“Do I have a choice in any of this?”

 

“Nope!” Lizzy closed the curtain, excitedly and V couldn’t help but gawk slightly at the mound of clothes in her claws.

 

She slipped off her skirt and top, sighing as she picked up the first garment. It was a short, white satin dress with drawn in around the waist. Pearls adorned the middle and as she put it on she felt her claw down the fabric - it felt amazing, smoother than anything else she’d ever touched. V pulled it over her head delicately then looked at her reflection in the mirror. Not bad. 

 

The disassembly drone drew the curtain back stepping out of the stall - Lizzy who had been waiting excitedly, put her phone down and gasped.

 

“Oh. My. Robo-god,” Lizzy stood transfixed.

 

“Take a picture it’ll last longer,” V said sarcastically, although she wasn’t surprised when she heard the click of Lizzy’s phone taking a quick photograph.

 

“You look, so, SO good girl!” Lizzy circled her admiring the look 

“The employee lady told me it was created by humans - but I’m sure we can modify it for you.”

 

V turned around observing herself, “Do you not think it’s too much for Prom?”

 

Lizzy hummed “No such thing - even if you don’t want to choose this look - I am so buying it! Ooo we could accessorise with a necklace and-“

 

V cut her off by putting her hands on the drone’s shoulder “I get it. We can buy it if you really insist.”

 

Lizzy practically fist pumped the air and V returned to the stall, rolling her eyes.

 

Next, V tried on something a bit longer - a black dress with a red undertone to it. It was less fitted than the other one with thinner straps however V liked the colour. Red certainly did suit her, even if she did say so herself.

 

As she left the cubicle, her appearance was greeted with a cascade of ‘oooo’s from Lizzy and the clicking of her camera

 

“Love, love, LOVE the colour!!!” She complimented “What do you think?”

 

“I agree,” V smoothed the dress down against her body but claws caught on the mesh part of the material. She pulled her hand away which only made it worse, “I think this might be a problem though.”

 

“Yeah…” Lizzy frowned.

 

“You’re gonna have to pay for that,” the employee informed them dryly to which Lizzy rolled her eyes. The worker drone had told V all about the grumpy cashier, Stacy, and how ‘dull’ she was on the way here 

 

“Yeah, yeah, of course,” Lizzy waved her off, agitatedly.

 

~

 

For the next few hours, the pair cycled through trying on a variety of outfits - from baby pink silk dresses (which Lizzy ‘absolutely adored’) and even more comfy clothes which weren’t for prom (such as a Chappell Roan hoodie Lizzy insisted on).

 

However, a particular outfit caught her eye - different from the others that Lizzy had picked out.

 

It was a black suit, with a silk lining. She held it in front of her before slipping the waistcoat and trousers. It was fitted and flattering and V particularly liked how sharp it made her look. 

 

She flicked her tail, smiling to herself slightly. Lizzy would like this one.

 

Notes:

Thanks for reading! Y’know I can’t resist writing about girls in suits and fancy dresses (and Lizzy can’t resist seeing V in them either lol)

I’ll add the formatting in later and I’ll also put some links to dresses and outfits that I took inspo from in the notes when I have the time.

Oki byeeee

Notes:

I has to add in my hc that the disassembly drones are like bats - I thought it would be cute for them to sleep like that.

Anyways thanks for reading!!! I’ve planned for there to be 6 chapters but there might be more or less depending on how this all pans out.

Also I will update whenever I get time so there is no set update timeframe, but I have chapter 2 pretty much sorted so I will post that soon!!!
