When she first got the email, Victoria had assumed it was a scam. Was her TikTok account nearing five million followers? Yes. Had she been forced to attend several meetings at work to ensure her safety and to quadruple check none of her content violated HIPAA? Yeah. Had she reached a million followers on her new YouTube channel before she posted a single video, just by putting the link on her Instagram story? Sure. But a contact from Variety? About an interview? With Trinity fucking Santos, real, actual famous actress?
Victoria couldn’t comprehend the correlation.
That’s not true. She can comprehend it. Her mind just refuses to accept it.
Real (famous?) doctor + famous actress notorious for playing a doctor. The email explains the reasoning behind their choices in great, unnecessary detail. What Victoria can’t comprehend is that she was the most famous doctor they could find. Even thinking the word ‘famous’ about herself feels laughable.
She’s started wearing a hat and sunglasses like she’s a celebrity in a movie trying to be lowkey whenever she gets coffee because, weirdly, it works (weirder, people have actually started to stop her out on the street) but surely that can’t be a real way to measure one’s notoriety.
Victoria should ask Trinity Santos. She probably knows every trick in the book.
Yeah, she’d taken the offer. Fucking obviously. Once it sank in that it was a real offer, Victoria nearly dropped her laptop in her scramble to accept.
She scrolls through the replies of the announcement tweet, surprised by the sheer number of replies, and the sincere enthusiasm with which most of the users tweet. She’s relieved to see one comment citing this interview as the reason she stopped making videos reacting to The Pitt.
It’s not true, but it’s a convenient thing for them to think. She gets enough shit from Samira about it as things are, she doesn’t need her fanbase piling on, too. Plus, it’s less embarrassing than the real reason. If they knew the real reason, her viewers would know how stupid it is of her to do this interview, but Victoria couldn’t help herself. Samira laughed when Victoria told her, but she’ll never have a chance like this again, she has to take what she can get. It’ll probably be a little embarrassing, but they’ll do the interview, and then Trinity Santos will film twenty million more seasons of The Pitt and go on to do other great, important projects, and she’ll forget all about Victoria Javadi and her flimsy TikTok account.
What surprised Victoria the most was when she received an email saying Trinity Santos had agreed to the interview. She should probably stop calling her by her full name, but Victoria can’t help it. Trinity sounds far too normal, too friendly, and if she starts thinking about knowing Trinity Santos in any real and meaningful way for more than five seconds she starts losing all brain function, and she just doesn’t have the time for it.
It’s cute that her audience thinks she knew about this interview three months ago when she stopped making videos about The Pitt. It had been the main reason she had started the YouTube channel. She’d done some short form content reacting to scenes from The Pitt on TikTok and gotten positive comments, and they had notably higher views and likes than some of her other videos. Viewers were begging for more, and it escalated into full-episode reaction videos. Time-consuming, but high-earning.
Victoria’s weakest spot in her journey with internet fame is her lack of self control. It’s a strength most of the time, posting that scary video that goes crazy viral. Then she’s trying to go to sleep but she can’t stop scrolling through the comments of her videos, desperate to know what everyone thinks. Plus, not to brag, but her fans are pretty fucking funny. Some of them are a little too smart for their own good, though.
She thought she was hiding it pretty well, but, well, sometimes she can’t help it. Trinity Santos is hot as hell. And a good actress, and whatever, but damn. In all her doomscrolling, she had only ever seen one comment about it.
is it just me or does vic get reeeaaaalllyy happy to see dr briones lol?
It was probably the 984th comment, and it had no likes. Victoria has never heard another word about it from anyone else, but the thought of someone else reading that comment, thinking about it, watching back her videos and seeing her face soften whenever Santos is in the frame…
She’d stopped doing the reaction videos. And, of course, three months after the season finished airing the email came in. Victoria’s probably going to make a fool of herself and the whole world will immediately realize she has a big fat crush on Trinity Santos, but she’ll have met Trinity Santos, and thus, she can die happy, likely moments after shaking Trinity’s hand.
She’d made a community post saying the reaction videos took too much time to edit, and she couldn’t continue the series right now, apologizing profusely throughout, but, whenever she cancels something, all she really has to do is mention how busy work is, and then the comments are full of people tripping over themselves to call her a hero and say to put work first.
Kind of pathetic, but as far as Victoria can tell, her viewers are under the impression that she’s a straight woman, and she doesn’t really feel like changing that perception at this moment in time.
It takes all of her sick days and some begging and pleading, but Victoria’s putting on headphones and an eye mask on a direct flight from Pittsburgh International Airport to LAX, and her notes app is full of questions for Trinity Santos.

The outfit she packed feels inexplicably insufficient in the studio mirror with her hair and makeup all done. Victoria barely recognizes herself. She fumbles for her phone, to reread the good luck text from Samira and the questions she’s already reread a million times. It’s steadying, grounding. She wipes her hands on her skirt, she’s been spending an unreasonable amount of time worrying Trinity will go for a handshake and Victoria’s hands will be sweaty.
They won’t meet until it’s in front of a camera, that’s sort of the whole point, and it means if Victoria doesn’t compose herself and acts insane, it’ll be on the internet forever and it will most likely become a terrible gif haunting her comment sections until the end of time.
“Victoria? Can we invite you to set?”
A knock at the door, a head poking through the door. Victoria’s unaccustomed to all the formalities.
“Yeah, sure.” She takes a final sip of water and stretches her hands, pocketing her phone.
Here goes nothing.

JAVADI
Wow.
SANTOS
‘Wow’?
JAVADI
I–I mean, I’ve watched you so much on the TV, it’s kinda weird that you’re real.
SANTOS
Wow. Thank you, Crash.
JAVADI
Crash?
SANTOS
You know, because you—
JAVADI
I’m sorry, that and the chair was–can we start over?
SANTOS
Why? That was so awkward, I liked it.
JAVADI
… What?
SANTOS
Full transparency, I hadn’t heard of you until I got this offer.
JAVADI
That makes perfect sense to me.
SANTOS
Right? Thank you. My friends all knew about you, made me feel like I was crazy for not having heard.
JAVADI
I’m just flattered that your friends knew of me.
SANTOS
My friends are losers.
(Javadi laughs)
SANTOS
They don’t even follow you for fun, it’s work stuff. They need to improve their work-life balance.
JAVADI
They don’t use my videos as reference for…?
SANTOS
For The Pitt? Unfortunately, they do.
JAVADI
Wow. Really?
SANTOS
Despite what I just said about work-life balance, most of my friends are my coworkers.
JAVADI
Me too.
SANTOS
Oh, I know. You’ve got some enemies at work, too. Quite a juicy thread.
JAVADI
I thought you hadn’t heard of me?
SANTOS
Not before I got the offer. I did my research, Victoria Javadi.
JAVADI
Okay, Trinity Santos.
SANTOS
That’s not fair. Mine’s in the credits sequence, I had to google you.
JAVADI
You googled me?
SANTOS
Had to figure out what I was going up against, Crash.
JAVADI
I thought we agreed to start over.
SANTOS
I never agreed to anything.
JAVADI
Fine.
SANTOS
You’re a real doctor.
JAVADI
Yes. I know I might seem—
SANTOS
I wasn’t asking, I know you are. Twenty-three is young to be almost done with med school, isn’t it? You’re like an insane genius, right?
JAVADI
I’m not a genius, I—
SANTOS
How many grades did you skip?
JAVADI
… I don’t want to answer that question.
SANTOS
(singing)
Suspicious.
JAVADI
Whatever. Degrees don’t determine success.
SANTOS
You’re right. Followers do.
(Javadi laughs)
JAVADI
If that’s true, I win.
SANTOS
‘If’?
JAVADI
Obviously money determines success.
(Santos laughs)
JAVADI
I’m still paying off med school bills, I think you win that one.
SANTOS
Yeah, I could take care of you. You graduated high school when you were like eight, didn’t you?
JAVADI
No!…. I was nine.
(Santos laughs)
SANTOS
That’s good, that’s really good.
JAVADI
You said your coworkers watch my videos to prep for being an on-screen doctor, what do you do?
SANTOS
Controversial answer: Nothing.
JAVADI
Nothing?!
SANTOS
Not nothing.
JAVADI
Then why’d you say nothing?
(Santos laughs)
SANTOS
You’re so gullible. I don’t do medical research out of work, is what I meant. I learn my lines, I google a lot of words, I listen to our on-set doctors and nurses, but I don’t watch doctor content in my free time. I get more than enough of it at work.
JAVADI
That makes sense, actually.
SANTOS
Exactly, it makes perfect sense.

Why’d you stop making reaction videos?

Oh. Um. I got busy with work, I, uh, didn’t have enough time for all the editing.
SANTOS
Oh. Really?
JAVADI
Yeah.
SANTOS
Interesting.
JAVADI
Is it?
SANTOS
A little.
JAVADI
Are you offended?
SANTOS
No, I think you’re lying.
JAVADI
What? No, no it’s not a lie, why would I lie about it? I’m busy, and videos that long take a lot of editing time, and—
SANTOS
Relax, Crash, I was kidding. That was awfully defensive though, for someone supposedly telling the truth.
JAVADI
You accused me of being a liar out of the blue, excuse me if I get a little defensive.
SANTOS
That’s a thing I do, you’ll get used to it.
(Javadi laughs)
JAVADI
Sure.

Trinity Santos is mildly infuriating, and Victoria can’t get enough of her. They talk for hours, longer than Victoria expected, yet it ends far too soon for her liking. Maybe she’s just delusional, but she’s pretty sure Trinity looks disappointed too as they’re guided to bring the interview to a close. Trinity stands so Victoria follows suit, stepping forward as Trinity stands, holding her hand out for Victoria to shake. She does.
Trinity’s hands are soft, and warm, and Victoria really needs a hobby or something, but then–
“Be careful out there, Crash.”
Victoria pouts. It’s not about the nickname, not anymore. She was kind of mad the first time, but the more Trinity says it, the more Victoria likes it. It’s specific, personal. Intimate. So, no, she doesn’t hate the nickname.
“I don’t have a nickname for you.”
Trinity just smirks, god Victoria wants to wipe that smug look off her face, ideally by kissing her on the mouth, but Trinity backs up her smirk with, “We’ll work on it,” and holy shit this girl is trying to kill her.
“CUT. That was great, girls. Really good stuff. Thank you so much…”

Victoria brushes the carefully styled curls out of her hair, taking the brief moment of quiet to feel more like herself. She puts the brush down and picks up her water, taking a long drink. She stands when she hears the knock at the door, expecting a Variety employee encouraging her to leave, but the apology is sucked away, jaw falling open in surprise.
“Hey, Crash.”
Trinity Santos. Outside her dressing room. Victoria leans against the doorframe, body suddenly desperate for movement and to seem normal. “Hey, uh… Hi.”
Victoria internally smacks her forehead, Trinity snorts. “Cool. You really need to work on talking to people.”
“I’m good at talking to people! I talk to a lot of people online all the time, and I’m known for having good bedside manner.” It’s not a lie. Once she got better at hiding her facial expressions, her bedside manner reviews had skyrocketed. She’s good at talking to people generally. It’s just Trinity that seems to expose every lame bone in her body.
Trinity stares at her, full of disbelief, and the way Victoria’s acted around her, she can’t really blame the girl. “Sure. Do you have plans after this?”
No way. This isn’t happening. Why would Trinity possibly ask that?
“Well, I fly back to Pittsburgh tomorrow.”
“Right. You live in Pittsburgh.”
“Yeah.” Victoria smiles because she doesn’t know what else to do. “Kind of ironic, right? That you work out here at a fake hospital in Pittsburgh, and I work at a real hospital in Pittsburgh.”
“Yeah.” Trinity’s so dry, Victoria wonders if she’s mocking her, until Trinity’s eyes flicker to meet hers. “Kinda feels meant to be.”
Victoria laughs, high-pitched, involuntary, embarrassing. She clears her throat, looks down. “I don’t have any plans today, though, no.”
Trinity hums, and Victoria keeps her eyes firmly fixed on the floor, afraid of what she’ll find when she looks up. “You do now.”
Victoria blinks. Looks at Trinity, now in confusion. “What?”
“You’ve never been to LA before, right?”
“Right?”
Trinity shrugs. “Someone oughta show you a good time. I don’t see anyone else volunteering. You ready to go?”
She was actually planning on going back inside and sitting for a good thirty minutes, contemplating all her life choices that led her to this moment.
“Yeah, let me just grab my stuff.”
Victoria shoves her things into her bag and throws out her trash from the day, shouldering her bag and nodding at Trinity. “Ready.”
Trinity looks her over, confusion in her gaze. “You’re still wearing that suit.”
“Oh, yeah.” Now that she mentions it, Trinity’s no longer in the skirt and jacket she wore before, now dressed down in a pair of cargo pants and a t-shirt. “I brought it from home, didn’t realize they would have stuff for me to wear."
Trinity’s eyebrows raise, and she’s stupid, Victoria’s ashamed she didn’t magically know all the tricks of the trade, that styling is an option for an interview like this, but of course it is, she should have known that. But instead of scolding her, Trinity nods appreciatively.
“You did good. It suits you.” She laughs as the words come out of her mouth. “Get it? Suit.”
Victoria eyes her, laughing, uncertain. Trinity’s corny. Interesting.
Trinity guides her through hallways, greeting more people by name than Victoria’s seen all day, and she leads Victoria to a car that costs more than her student loans and asks, “How’d you get here, anyway?”
“Plane.”
“No. Like, today, from your hotel.”
Oh. Duh.
“Oh, sorry. They paid for me to get an Uber.”
“God.” Trinity rolls her eyes, and Victoria sinks back in her seat, certain that Trinity’s finally mad at her. “Of course they did. Next time tell them they have to send someone to drive you. No random fuck-ass uber driver. Hell, I can drive you. The way they take advantage of people who don’t know any better, honestly…” Trinity meets Victoria’s eyes through the rearview mirror at a red light, Victoria basking in the glow of the slow realization that maybe Trinity isn’t using every word as an attempt to find something to criticize. Maybe she just wants to help. “I got your back, okay?”
The breath slips out of Victoria’s chest, leaving her heart racing and gasping for air.
The light turns green and Trinity turns back to the road. Victoria can only pray she doesn’t notice the deep flush on Victoria’s cheeks.
Did she really just hear those words straight from the mouth of Trinity goddamn Santos?
Victoria sneaks a look at her as she drives, fingers tapping on the steering wheel, looking back at Victoria for a moment, eyebrows raised in a silent question.
Oh. Right.
“Okay.”
Trinity smiles at the confirmation, actually smiles, and it’s all Victoria can do to bite her lip and look out the window. She’s so screwed.

Victoria flies home the next morning. The whole flight she convinces herself that she’ll never hear from Trinity again, despite the fact that they exchanged numbers. That Trinity took Victoria’s phone without prompting and typed her number in. Despite the fact that last night was undoubtedly the best night of Victoria’s life, and they didn’t even do anything. Despite the fact that Trinity called her driver for a ride to Victoria’s hotel and walked her all the way to her door and still said, “Text me when you get back, so I know you made it safe,” with this insane smirk on her face.
Despite the fact that Trinity had nearly called her agent in a drunken fury when Victoria confessed that she would be taking another uber to the airport in the morning, and insisted on taking her herself.
Victoria had prepared to call an uber anyway, watching Trinity stumble back to her car the night before at three in the morning had her seriously doubting if the other girl would really wake up in time to drive Victoria to the airport at six.
But she walked outside that morning, suitcases in hand to find a familiar car out front, Trinity looking like beautiful hell, two large coffees in her cupholders.
“Morning, Crash,” she’d said, smiling at Victoria through cracked lips and heavy eyebags, smudged eyeliner from the night before still tracing her eyelids.
“Jesus, Trin,” Victoria had giggled, putting her suitcases in the backseat and claiming the passenger seat. “Uber’s really not that bad, you didn’t have to come.”
“Nonsense.” Trinity took a long sip of coffee, pointing at the other one in the cupholder and then pointing at Victoria, presumably telling her it was for her. She puts the drink down and sighs. “Variety should be driving you. But I’d rather do it, anyway.”
Victoria laughs disbelievingly, taking the coffee and having a small sip, testing the taste and temperature. It’s good, and warm, not burning hot, so she takes a longer drink. “Why? It’s six in the morning, and you dropped me off at three. You got, what, two hours of sleep max?”
Trinity shrugs. “Doesn’t matter. Gotta say goodbye, don’t know when I’m gonna see you again.” The words shrink her, wiping the smile off her face and sagging in her seat.
They sit in silence for a few minutes, nothing but the breeze from the open windows and the buzz of the city. Even so early in the morning, it’s not completely deserted.
“Pittsburgh’s not that far.”
Trinity laughs softly. Victoria ducks her head.
“Okay, it’s pretty far. Still. I’m glad I did this.”
“Me, too,” Trinity says quickly, nodding to emphasize her agreement. “Kinda mean of you to make me miss you, though.”
Victoria looks at Trinity next to her, raising an eyebrow. Trinity laughs, grinning.
“See? You could tell I was fucking with you, no one ever gets it that fast.”
Victoria grins, cheeks warming with pleasure. “I’m a quick learner.”
“No shit.”
They fall into a comfortable silence, radio playing softly in the background. The song changes, one Victoria doesn’t recognize, but Trinity clearly does, singing along softly as she drives, and Victoria is immediately transfixed. She knows, objectively, as a fan, that Trinity has done shows on Broadway. Musicals, to be precise. This would imply that she can sing. Still, she isn’t prepared for the magical siren tone that flows easily from Trinity’s lips.
Victoria doesn’t dare say a word the entire song, afraid she’ll stop, but it eventually ends and a different song starts, one Trinity doesn’t sing along to. Victoria lets out a long breath, turning her head to watch Trinity.
“You have an incredible voice.”
She can’t possibly be the first to tell her. She’s trained for years, performed in front of thousands, and likely thousands more have told Trinity those exact same words. Maybe it’s the early hour, maybe it’s the hangover, or, maybe, just maybe, it’s Victoria, but Trinity flushes and lifts a shoulder.
“Thanks.”
No biting remark. No teasing. Just pink on her cheeks and eyes that light up at the compliment and a short, murmured reply.
Despite all that, Victoria turns her phone off of airplane mode as they touch down, certain she’ll never hear a word from Trinity Santos ever again.
Her messages load in slowly as her phone reconnects. Predictably, several texts from her Mother inquiring if she’s touched down, and if she’ll be making it to family dinner. Texts and reels from Samira. And–texts and reels from none other than Trinity Santos?
la doesn’t feel the same without you
was cooler when u were here
And not one, but two reels. One about their interview, short, just an excited fan grinning over text asking when their next interview will be. The second is just some stupid meme that makes Victoria laugh, covering her mouth in surprise.
Victoria hearts the reels and texts back with trembling, disbelieving fingers.
just landed
pittsburgh doesn’t know what’s coming for it
To her surprise, text bubbles appear immediately. Trinity’s texting her back.
ugh
what did pitt do to deserve u
Victoria grins and texts back, and so it begins.
They very much do not lose touch, to say the least.
Victoria tells Trinity about her parents, about Samira, about her work, both medical and social media, and her fans. Trinity tells Victoria about her friends, her work, her life in LA, and: Her crazy situationship. Victoria’s heart sinks when Trinity first starts talking about Yolanda Garcia and the length and depth of their not-quite-relationship. The way she talks about her, the way she complains, Victoria’s not sure Trinity’s over her. Not that she has a shot 2500 miles away.
Even so. Sometimes Trinity texts her to complain that Yolanda Garcia posted about her girlfriend on Instagram, and Victoria pretends to be sympathetic and talk shit, and part of her wishes that Trinity would text someone else longingly about her instead.

The coffee is good, but it’s not enough. Samira’s heavy sigh tells Victoria she feels the same. A much-needed day off is helping, and her best friend's presence is even better. The coffee shop at eleven is a good start to the morning, far better than the hospital at six.
Wondering about Trinity, the work of managing her social media work and full time work at the hospital, and the growing stress of applying to residencies is growing.
“We just need, like, massages, and by the end of the day we’ll be good.”
Samira laughs, clinking her cup to Victoria’s. “And to get fucked. Up. And to get laid.”
Victoria wrinkles her nose, but laughs, and Samira raises understanding eyebrows. “Don’t act like you don’t need to get laid, too. You’ve been too stressed recently. And Trinity won’t stop texting you about her ex. You need to get your mind off of her.”
Victoria stirs her iced coffee just to have something to do, somewhere other than Samira to put her eyes. “Maybe.” How to explain that she would rather be nothing to Trinity than to be something to someone else?
Her phone buzzes, and Victoria reaches for it, knowing it’s probably Trinity, but Samira beats her to it, tugging her phone away from her grasp.
“Mira, c’mon–”
“You need a detox day,” Samira says, Victoria’s phone firmly in her grasp.
Victoria sighs. “Is it her?”
Samira squints at her, but relents, glancing down at the screen, eyebrows raising. “Does she know that’s her contact name?”
Victoria ignores the question, knowing the ‘no’ would only make Samira more adamant. “What did she say?”
“Victoria.”
“Please?”
Samira shakes her head, but she’s smiling faintly as she checks Victoria’s phone. She reads the text and laughs. “She wants to know what succinylcholine is.”
Victoria grins, holding out her hand. “Gimme.”
Samira holds it out, but when Victoria reaches for it she pulls it back. “Trinity detox day after this exchange, I mean it.”
“Fine, deal.”
“Thank you.”
Samira passes the phone over and Victoria opens Trinity’s message eagerly, explaining and joking around with her for a few minutes until Trinity vanishes. On days when she texts early like this, especially with the time difference, she knows Trinity is most likely working. She’s not allowed her phone on set, so it’s not unusual for her to disappear part-way through conversations, or to suddenly bid Victoria goodbye only to reappear again hours later. Victoria’s work isn’t as strict, but she gets busy, too. It’s not personal, she doesn’t take it hard. Still, when it becomes clear Trinity isn’t texting her back, she shuts down her phone and pockets it.
Trin’s been texting her a lot with medical questions. Victoria hasn’t asked about it, just answered her questions as best as she could, but the first time they met Trinity mentioned googling medical words she doesn’t recognize in the script. Victoria’s been starting to wonder if Trinity’s replaced her google searches with texting Victoria. Not that she minds. It makes her feel nice, that Trinity trusts her enough to ask and use her answers in her work, and to connect with Victoria in little ways even when she’s busy.
She just hopes Trinity doesn’t have any more questions today, because Samira stands firm that today should be a day free of social media and texting, and Victoria goes along with it, keeping her phone locked and unused in her pocket.
What she doesn’t expect is how fruitful Samira’s suggestion turns out to be.
They go out that night, dancing and drinking and singing along to the 2010’s classics. Samira’s night appears to go exactly as planned: She gets plastered, makes out with a hot guy on the dance floor and eventually goes home with him. Victoria doesn’t go home with anyone, but she does get the number of a very cute girl. A very cute girl who texts her the following day asking her out, and it has been a while since she went on a date, and this crush on Trinity is getting a little out of hand for something that clearly goes no deeper than a friendship. Victoria agrees. She feels guilty about it, like she’s somehow cheating on Trinity, but their relationship isn’t any deeper than a friendship, they’ve never kissed, never discussed anything even vaguely romantic. Trinity kind of flirts with her sometimes, but Victoria’s learning that’s just how she talks.
It feels good to pick out a cute outfit, to tease her hair and do her makeup, to see the hot girl all done up in a dress shirt and slacks, and her mind absolutely does not drift to wonder if Trinity would wear it better.
By all means, it should be a good date. The woman is deeply attractive and perfectly nice, getting out of her car to open Victoria’s door, holding the door for her at the restaurant and pulling out her chair for her. She’s kind, a good conversationalist, and genuinely listens when Victoria talks.
Still.
She feels her phone buzz against her thigh halfway through dinner and quickly excuses herself to the bathroom to check it. Sure enough, for the first time since yesterday, Trinity.
first ep of s3 aired tn
don’t say this to brag but u should check out the credits…
Victoria’s brows knit together in confusion, thinking of what to say in return (because can’t right now, on a date would go over swimmingly). She’s not sure why she thinks Trinity would take it poorly. They’re not dating. They never were. Trinity never asked her out, unless that night in LA counts, which it doesn’t. At least, Victoria’s pretty sure it doesn’t count. Even if it does, they haven’t discussed it since, and they certainly haven’t discussed anything about being committed, about not seeing other people.
There’s nothing wrong with it, but Victoria would much rather Trinity not know she’s on a date right now.
Trinity winds up saving her, sending a photo of the part of the credits she apparently wants Victoria to see.
spoiler sry couldn’t help myself
She scans the image, it seems to be a picture taken of the credits on a TV. It’s the real medical professionals involved in the show, Victoria realizes. The doctors and nurses that consult on The Pitt to help make it more accurate. Cool, but Victoria’s not sure why Trinity wants her to look at it now.
Then, she sees it.
At the bottom. Below all the other consultants, but there nonetheless.
Assistant Medical Consultant - Victoria Javadi
What the fuck? What the fuck?
wtf trin?
Victoria washes her hands, knowing she’s been gone too long, splashing some water on her face in an attempt to clear her head and going back out to their table.
“Are you alright?”
Victoria’s not sure if it’s the time she was gone or the astonished look on her face she can’t seem to wipe away, but her date certainly picks up on it.
“I’m good, thank you.”
“Okay. Are you sure?”
“Yeah. I’m fine. I’m good.”
“Okay. Do you want to try a bite of my pasta?”
Victoria’s mind is 2500 miles away in Los Angeles county, but she doesn’t want to be cruel. She has to finish this night and send a nice text tomorrow, telling this woman she’s perfectly sweet but Victoria doesn’t think it’s going to work out.
“I’d like that, sure.”
Victoria doesn’t taste the pasta, or any of her own entree, or the dessert her date suggests they split. She pretends to giggle as they feed each other bites of double chocolate cake and her mouth tastes like ash as she checks her phone, finally alone on her couch.
Her heart sinks as she sees the many messages from Trinity, spread out over the hour and a half since she replied.
what?
you don’t like it?
i’m sorry i should have asked first
crash
are you there?
i’m sorry okay? i ask you so many questions i thought it would be nice
but if you don’t like it i can tell them to pull it from future eps
vic?
Worse, below it:
Missed FaceTime call from trin💞
Victoria bites her lip. Her finger hovers over the button for a moment, but she knows what she’s going to do. Victoria does something she’s never done before, despite all their texting and exchanging of reels.
She calls Trinity. Worse, she FaceTime calls her. But it’s not that bad, because Trinity called her first, and that has to be how that works.
Trinity picks up on the first ring, and Victoria would rather not investigate what that says about their relations–friendship.
“Vic. Are you okay?”
Trinity’s face fills the screen, beautiful and etched with concern, and Victoria feels more right then than she did all night with the nice, pretty woman.
“What happened to Crash?”
“I’m worried about you is what happened. You said, ‘what the fuck, Trinity,’ then you vanished for hours. Are you not mad at me?”
“No, I’m sorry, I was just… I was busy. And surprised. But I’m not mad. I don’t mind. And I said what the fuck Trin, for the record.”
Trinity laughs softly, worry easing out of her expression. “Fine, that’s true. Were you working? I didn’t even think about that, I’m sorry.”
“I wasn’t working, no. I haven’t had any night shifts recently. I was just… Busy. Out with friends, y’know.”
“Right. Sure. That makes perfect sense. Sorry. I just got scared, I guess.”
“It’s okay.” There’s a brief pause, where they’re just looking at each other, and Trinity’s eyes are so much softer when she looks at Victoria than she remembers them being, and it’s doing terrible things to the delusional half of her brain. She wracks her mind for something to say, to end this terrible, incredible gazing Trinity’s doing, all lashes and half-lidded and a soft up-turn at the corners of her lips, really convincing stuff.
“Um. Nobody really calls me Vic, you know.”
Trinity’s smile falls. “Oh. Should I not call you that? What about Tori?”
“I used it for a bit, then Victorious came out, and I didn’t want to be associated with Tori Vega.
Trinity laughs, shaking her head, “Of course you didn’t. What should I call you then?”
She doesn’t make any suggestions this time, leaving Victoria to think without influence, without having anything to go off of. She comes up blank.
“I dunno. I guess I like Crash.”
Trinity swallows, eyes darting away from the screen. “Dennis said Crash might be a little mean-spirited. A great deal of my spirit tends to be mean, I don’t know if he’s wrong.”
Victoria shrugs. “Maybe it started that way, but it changed. I think all that matters is if I like it, and I do, so.”
Slowly, surely, Trin smiles. “Okay. Sure, Crash it is. Thanks for picking up.”
It sounds like the start of a goodbye, and Victoria is filled with a sudden longing to talk to Trinity more. To see her, to hear her voice, even through a screen, is so exhilarating. It reminds her so much of that night back in LA, how happy she was. How happy Trinity makes her.
“Are you busy?”
“No. Are not still out with your friends?”
“No, I just got home. Would you… Would you want to talk for a little longer?”
Trinity’s gaze flicks upwards and her eyebrows furrow. Her lips twitch, face falling. It’s a miniscule change, Trin tries to hide it, but Victoria’s giving her her undivided attention. She notices.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine. I just… I think I do actually have to go, okay?”
“Oh. Okay. You’re sure you’re alright?”
“Yeah. Yeah, just tired, I think Dennis is having some kind of crisis, he’s texting me a lot.”
She’s lying. Victoria can’t explain how she knows, and maybe she’s wrong, but her mind is screaming that Trinity’s lying. Victoria doesn’t know why, but she doesn’t want to fight about it. She can give Trinity the night to do whatever she needs, and she can ask about it tomorrow.
“Sounds like you should check on him, yeah. Goodnight, Trinity.”
“Thanks. ‘Night, Crash.”
Trinity smiles at her, but it’s strained in a way that it never has been before. She hangs up. Victoria drops her phone onto the couch, wracking her brain to think of what she could possibly have said to fuck it up.

It’s been eleven days since Trinity sent her a reel. Eleven. Days. Victoria counted the record for length of time between reels before this: Nine hours. That’s one good night of sleep, less than a full day of work for Trinity. Reasonable. Enthusiastic, even. But this? Eleven fucking days?
It’s not just the reels, obviously. She’s distant. Barely texting. Only when Victoria texts first. But she says everything is fine no matter how Victoria frames it, so what can she do?
It’s the reels that really give her away. What they’re giving away, Victoria isn’t exactly sure. It has to be big, if only she could figure out what it is.
She was surprised to open Twitter and find a page full of people discussing her queer identity, and it’s troubling that some of her fans would invade her privacy like that, but it doesn’t negatively affect her life in any way. She makes a video about it, confirming her queerness and asking that, in the future, people don’t record her when she isn’t already recording herself or at a public event, emphasizing her desire to be able to be a content creator and still have a personal life.
She’s already come out to her parents, her Mom less enthusiastic about it than her Dad, but they’ve come to an understanding. She has her own apartment.
She takes a night to drink wine and stare at the wall at Samira’s place and process and life moves on. It doesn’t feel very different to be out on social media once it’s all blown over. She has bigger things to worry about, anyway. Like Trinity.
The distance and stilted, forced conversation is killing her slowly. It’s the opposite to how she’s always known Trinity, open and talkative, saying what she means even if she doesn’t think it’s what Victoria wants to hear. Now she’s barely saying anything at all, and none of it is what Victoria wants to hear, none of it feels like the root of why Trinity’s acting like this.
She hasn’t posted much, too busy worrying over what to do, how to get to the bottom of Trinity’s sudden shift in behavior. The Outing Incident is kind of working in her favor in an insane way, everyone is chalking up her slower posting schedule as her taking a step back from social media and taking some time for herself to recover, or whatever. She is, in a way, she’s just not recovering from what they think she is.
It’s affecting her work at PTMC, too, try as she might to put her baggage aside and fucking let it go.
Is it possible to fall in love with someone on the other side of the country, mostly communicating by text? Before Victoria met Trinity, she would have thought the answer was no. Now that Trinity’s suddenly been ripped away, Victoria feels naked and exposed. She hadn’t realized how much she relied on having Trinity in her life until she vanished.
It’s like learning how to live all over again, parts of her daily routine that grew to involve Trinity shifting back to how they did before, only Victoria feels a distinct ache in her chest whenever she completes the Trinity-less routine, aching to have her back, even just to hear her laugh and say Crash, oh my God on a voice note, laughing about something stupid Victoria said.
Samira’s sick of it, she knows. Not of Victoria, of course, but of the Trinity drama. She was never Trinity’s biggest fan, always suspicious of her, and now she’s being proven right, and sweet, sweet Samira hasn’t once said I told you so. Victoria knows it’s not her that Samira’s mad at, but she can see better than anyone how deeply the loss is affecting her, and she knows it wears on her.
Victoria stands at the hub, working on her charting between cases. Her phone buzzes. For a moment, her heart leaps in her chest. Slowly, biting her lip, she lifts her phone. An article. No text, no Trinity.
Victoria shoves her phone in her pocket, blinking hard as moisture gathers in her eyes. It’s stupid to even get her hopes up at this point, but she can’t help it. Stupid.

are you home?
first time you reach out to me in two

and what i’ve been asking for the past
two weeks isn’t important?
it is
i’m sorry
my question is related to that actually
i’m really sorry if there’s anything i can do
to make it up to you or if you’re willing
to talk to me i want to apologize properly
aren’t we talking right now?
well
yeah
but it’s not exactly what i had in mind
you’re not making sense rn

why?

She’s so infuriating. Waltzing in and apologizing and moving on like nothing’s happened. What, is she having an edible arrangement delivered? It’s irritating and so deeply Trinity that a small, small part of Victoria is trying very hard not to be endeared. She should be furious right now.
With all the point Trinity’s made of finding out if Victoria’s home, she’s not surprised when her confirmation of her location is soon followed by a knock on her apartment door. What’s going to be on the other side of the door, she’s not sure. A dozen roses? An edible arrangement? Trinity’s complained several times about how often doughnuts are on set, would she stoop so low?
Victoria’s slow to drag herself off the couch, dread building as she runs her mind through all the possible gifts of apology that could be waiting outside her apartment door at 1 PM on a Thursday.
There’s a second knock. Longer, harder. Victoria sighs, forcing herself to her feet, pushing away from the couch and walking to the door, already irritated at whatever poor vendor probably just needs her signature to confirm her receiving of this guilt gift. The fact that Trinity never texted back after confirming Victoria was home scares her a little. What was she so afraid she was going to give away?
Her hand lingers on the knob, stomach in knots, knowing she’s going to be disappointed by food or flowers and uncertain what else it could possibly be. She finally lets it go, accepting that whatever it is will be a letdown, opening the door to face whatever poor exhausted salesman had to trek all the way up to her third floor apartment with their bowl of fruit.
There is no fruit on the other side of the door. Or doughnuts. There are flowers. Very nice flowers. Victoria doesn’t remotely notice the flowers, completely shocked by the delivery woman.
Trinity clutches the bouquet so hard her knuckles flash white, lower lip between her teeth, bouncing on her toes, the picture of excitement and anxiety. She smiles hopefully as Victoria opens the door, extending the bouquet slightly.
“Hi. I know this is kind of crazy, I can just leave right now if you want, but I kept trying to write out apology texts or think of what to say on the phone and it was all just entirely inadequate, and the only thing that seemed like it was almost enough was this, which is insane, so I’m sorry if it’s too much, but–”
Trinity stops talking when Victoria throws herself into her arms. She seems shocked, standing in frozen silence as Victoria trembles in her arms, until Victoria manages to murmur, “You came.”
Strong, sturdy arms wrap around her, cradling her close and smoothing her hair. “I’m sorry it took me so long.”
Victoria pulls away when she feels like she can breathe again, sufficiently comforted by Trinity’s touch and smell, momentarily settled with her presence. Trinity holds out the bouquet again, now significantly squashed by Victoria’s unexpected tackle.
“These are for you. Seemed like the least I could do.”
Victoria tugs Trinity inside and shuts the door, taking the flowers and putting them down on her coffee table, looking Trinity up and down, remembering the anger of the last two weeks.
“I should slap you.”
Trinity, to her credit, doesn’t get upset at the remark. “I probably deserve worse than that.”
“What… Why did you do that?”
“I… It’s… Embarrassing.” Trinity looks at the floor.
“Too bad. You ghosted me for two weeks, now you have to tell me.”
Trinity’s lips twist, sucking in a laugh. “Okay, deal. I… It was horrible people were talking about it online, it’s not fair that anyone found out like this, but I… I may have seen the tweets about you being out on a date with a woman.”
Oh.
Trinity says it like it explains everything. Victoria’s never been more confused.
“Okay…? You’re not homophobic, I don’t understand why that would upset you so much that you would avoid me for two entire weeks.”
Trinity shakes her head softly, gnawing on her lip again, looking down at her hands, the squashed flowers.
“You don’t get it, Crash.”
“No, I don’t, that’s why I’m asking you to tell me what’s going on.”
“I’m trying.” Trinity takes a long breath, smoothing down the straight fabric of her flannel. Victoria’s never seen her like this before, making herself so small, struggling to speak. Normally Trinity seems to have no issue making conversation, to the point of overspeaking into discomfort. Now she can barely get the words out.
“I guess I thought it was pretty obvious.”
“Jesus Christ, Trinity, you thought what was pretty obvious?”
“That I liked you, okay?” The words come out loud and fast, an irritated response to Victoria’s irritated question. Trinity shrinks after the words leave her mouth, as she watches them sink into Victoria, voice softer. Scared. “That I, y’know. Had a fuckin’ crush on you, or whatever.”
Victoria’s brain melts down. She barely processes anything, her entire apartment fades away except for Trinity hovering by the doorway hunched in on herself, ashamedly mumbling Victoria’s wildest hopes and dreams.
“‘Had?’”
Trinity looks up, eyebrows furrowed. “What?”
“You said ‘had.’ Past tense. Did you mean it?”
Trinity scoffs, looking down, wringing her hands. “Jesus, Victoria, I… No. No, I think that’s part of why I came here, some foolish… Some fucking pipe dream that… Anyway. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner. I thought you were straight, and quite honestly I thought it would go away for a while, so I didn’t see a need to tell you. Needless to say,” Trinity’s eyes flick Victoria up and down, “your charms exceeded expectations.”
Victoria stands completely still, mind knitting itself back together, jaw hanging slack, completely shocked by everything Trinity’s told her. Trinity nods like her silence is a confirmation of unspoken rejection, backing towards the door.
“I can go. Don’t want to impose, make you uncomfortable. I just wanted to apologize, for you to know you didn’t do anything wrong. You’re perfect, Victoria. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise.”
Victoria waits for the question. For Trinity to say, okay? So she can agree, okay, and Trinity will know that means she doesn’t have to leave.
Trinity’s hand is on the doorknob before Victoria finally finds the voice to object.
“Trin.”
She turns her head, hand lingering on the knob, and she looks so sad, but just a small part of her looks hopeful, too.
Victoria searches for the words for too long, but Trinity’s patient, standing there with her fingers on the doorknob, and the words won’t come, so Victoria steps forward and tugs Trinity’s hand off of the knob.
“I did lie.”
Trinity tilts her head, smiling softly at their linked hands. “About what?”
“The day we met. We were talking about why I stopped doing the reaction videos, and you said I was lying, and I insisted I wasn’t. I was. It wasn’t the editing, it was hard but the income was worth it. I stopped doing them because of you.”
Trinity’s brow furrows in confusion. “Do you think I’m a bad actress?”
Victoria laughs softly before she can help it. “No, sorry. No, you’re an amazing actress, but it’s not really anything to do with your performance, it’s more about mine.”
Trinity watches, nodding, silent, encouraging Victoria to go on. She takes a long breath in and obliges. Here goes nothing.
“You see, there’s this actress on the show who’s kind of really hot, and I was always a little paranoid that the viewers were going to notice how I acted differently whenever she was onscreen. I only ever saw one comment, but someone called me out for smiling whenever a certain character was on screen, and I got so nervous I canceled the whole series. Then I got invited to do this interview with the very same actress, and obviously, once in a lifetime opportunity, I couldn’t say no, but I didn’t want her to find out, either.”
Their hands are still linked, Victoria realizes, as Trinity grips her hand tighter, face lit up in excitement. “You don’t mean it.”
“I do. Every word.”
Trinity smiles, big and wide, taking Victoria’s other hand with her own, squeezing both tight. “I was a fucking goner the second you went to sit in that chair and fell.”
Victoria laughs, the confession only making her fonder of her nickname. “So that night, was that supposed to be a date?”
Trin shrugs, smile turning sentimental. “Kind of. I thought you were straight, you know? And I didn’t really think you’d keep texting me back. So I treated it like a date, but I didn’t think it was a date to you, and it would be whatever it was. Date or not, that night was really amazing."
“You know something?”
Trinity tilts her head, hands shifting to Victoria’s waist, giving her her complete attention. “What?”
Victoria leans close, putting her lips to Trinity’s ear. “That night was the best night of my life.” She leans back quickly, wanting to see the look on Trin’s face as the words sink in. She beams, eyes alight with happiness, thumbs tracing circles against Victoria’s shirt, gaze roaming her face, lingering on her lips.
“Can I tell you something?”
“Anything.”
“I think we could make this night even better.”
Victoria stares at rapt attention. Has anyone ever told Trinity about all the stars in her eyes? She could inhabit an entire galaxy with all the stars drifting about her gaze. Trinity’s eyes are still toying at Victoria’s lips, and she’s pretty sure she knows what’s going to happen next, but they have all the time in the world, she feels no sense of urgency to rush it. So she takes a few moments to take in how Trinity looks when she’s admiring Victoria, admiring her face, her neck, the fall of her hair to her lovely shoulders.
Then, when she’s ready for the moment to pass, Victoria leans closer, letting her own eyes drift to Trin’s lips before she meets her eyes. “How?”
The corners of Trinity’s lips turn up, a ghost of the familiar smirk that Victoria knows so well, but Trinity’s deceptively gentle, cupping Victoria’s cheek tenderly, drawing ever closer, scanning her face for signs of displeasure.
Victoria grins, endeared by Trinity’s delicacy, but she’s been waiting for months. She doesn’t need to wait any longer. “Are you gonna kiss me, or what?”
Trinity smiles so hard that it makes the kiss awkward for just a second, more teeth than it should be, but they course-correct and it gets better, so much better. Victoria lets out a breath she may as well have been holding for months, pressing closer until their bodies are pressed against each other. Her hands roam Trinity’s shoulders and hair while Trinity holds her tightly by the waist, fingers inching closer and closer to Victoria’s ass, locked lips muffling Victoria’s moan when Trinity experimentally pinches the tender skin.
They end up on the couch, Victoria pressed back into the cushions, Trinity straddling her, pinning her down, kisses traveling down her neck and collarbone, sure to leave a lovely rainbow of bruises for Samira to gawk at.
“How did you even figure out where I live?” Victoria murmurs, a thought that rose to her mind mid-kiss finally finding a good time to surface.
Trinity grins, settling beside Victoria and wrapping an arm around her shoulder “Samira’s pretty great, you know.”
Victoria turns to Trin in confusion, leaning closer to her. “What do you mean?”
“She DM’ed me. Told me off for abandoning you.”
Victoria gasps. It’s dramatic, but she can’t help it. “No she didn’t.”
“Oh, she did. I deserved it. I was doing so much wallowing in my own life that I didn’t realize who she was for a second, then I did, and that sort of snapped me out of my whole thing. I begged her for her help and forgiveness, and once I persuaded her of my good intentions she gave me your address.”
Victoria shakes her head. Samira’s terrible at keeping secrets. “She knows you’re here?”
“She picked me up from the airport. Kinda scary driver, remind me to never let her drive me anywhere ever again.”
Victoria laughs, partly from Trinity’s joke, partly from the disbelief. “I usually drive us places, not that I’m that much better, I… Wow. When did you even get here?”
“About an hour ago? Landed, Samira picked me up, drove me straight here.”
“You don’t have any bags?”
Trinity shrugs, picking up a piece of Victoria’s hair and playing with it. “Packed pretty light. Didn’t think I’d be well-received, didn’t plan on staying long. But I paid the hotel to pick my bag up from the airport."
“Hotel?”
“I didn’t want to impose. ‘I’ve been ignoring you for two weeks but could I crash on your couch?’ That would be crazier than showing up unannounced, which is pretty hard to beat.”
Victoria squints at Trinity hard. “If you even think about going back to that hotel tonight…”
Trin laughs, holding up her hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, you win. Should I still take the couch?”
“Under no circumstances will you be sleeping on this couch I got in exchange for a free physical exam on facebook marketplace.”
Trinity wrinkles her nose. “Pretty sure that’s illegal.”
“Yeah, but look at the couch.”
Trinity does, taking in the size, color, the density of the cushions. “You made out like a bandit.”
“Exactly.”
The sound of Trinity’s laughter in Victoria’s apartment is new and magical, and her expression is teasing as she leans her head against the couch, looking at Victoria.
“Since I’m banned from going to the hotel, what am I supposed to wear?”
“Preferably nothing,” Victoria says, eyes roaming Trinity’s figure. “But if you have to wear something, you can borrow my clothes.”
Trinity laughs harder, and it’s all the more incredible knowing Victoria caused it. “I have always wanted to try sleeping nude.”
“Sleeping? What makes you think you’ll be doing that?”
She does it again. It’s incredible, the many different ways Trinity Santos can laugh, and the different things all of her laughs do to Victoria’s body. This one sends a shiver down Victoria’s spine, cuddled in so close to Trinity, a shiver she definitely notices.
“You’re right. My mistake.”
There’s something in her eyes. Something changes, lands on Victoria’s chest and sticks, like it’s a treasure chest she’s eager to get her hands on.
Victoria swallows hard. “Wanna see my bedroom?”
Trinity nods, that fucking smirk overtaking her features, Victoria’s whole body lighting up in anticipation as she takes Trin’s hand and leads her down the hallway.
She owes Samira a full body massage.
