Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

"Oh. Hey, Val," Veil says. "Tired of watching us kiss Vin?"

Valette orients herself as she switches to the front, then blushes deeply as she registers Veil's words. "She's just tired. Shut up."

"Make me." Veil smirks, scooting closer. She's been enthusastic tonight. "Shut me up."

Valette huffs, her face red, unaccustomed to being the center of attention. She digs into their purse to reapply her lipstick as a distraction. "Didn't you say 'our lady deserves only the best'?"

"I know what the lady likes. I'm very chivalrous that way. Chivalrous.. she-Val? She-Val-rous? As in Valette? There's a joke somewhere in there."

Valette shakes her head, but can't hide her smile at seeing Veil's stupid grin. Lord Ruler, that red hair is beautiful. "Leave the jokes to Shallan before you drive me crazy."

"And here I thought... wait. Let me get this one-liner. And here I thought we were.. wait. Here I thought... and here I thought you we were both already crazy.. wait."

"'And here I thought having to watch me snog Vin like our lives depended on it drove you crazy,'" Valette offers.

"Yeah!" Veil's eyes light up. "Wait, did it?"

Valette blushes again. "Shut up."

Veil leans in closer. "And she's a great kisser too. She's got these lips.. and this hair.. and she makes just the cutest sounds when I --- "

Valette finally snaps, turning to kiss Veil so firmly that she physically can't continue talking. She lifts her hand to the back of Veil's head, pressing them closer together. Veil places a hand on Valette's lower back and the other on her cheek, savoring the moment in silence. Then, they pull away, and Valette starts giggling.

"What?" Veil asks lightheartedly, but she quickly turns concerned. "What is it?"

"Your face.." Valette lifts her hand mirror to Veil to let her see the messy red lipstick stains covering her mouth.

Veil laughs too, and then harder as Valette leans in to kiss her cheek. "Stop! Stop!" They fall over each other, laughing while Veil tries desperately to escape Valette's revenge. Though, if pressed, she'd say there's nothing she wants more.
