>You hug her back with one arm, and gently caress her head with the other
>"So, what's so special about me? What do I need to do so you won't consider me boring, outdated... obsolete?" She shudders, "just tell me, whatever it is, and I'll keep doing it for you. I promise."
>Her grip tightens, though not as hard as before
>"Vee... You don't have to do anything differently. You're perfect the way you are."
>You start caressing her back
>"Am I? Even if I'm not like her? Even if she keeps winning all my prizes and everyone roots for her?"
>You gently kiss her head
>"Vee, you keep talking about prizes but you still haven't realized, there's one she didn't win. The grand-grand prize."
>"Are you sure? I know all my episodes by memory and there's not a single one where-"
>You interrupt her by caressing her screen and giving it a quick peck, "-You."
>Her expression becomes flustered and shocked, and stays that way. She's not moving, either
>...Did she freeze?
>You wave a hand across, "Earth to Vee?"
>Still nothing
>Well, at least you can look at her expression. You don't think you've ever seen her make this face before. For some reason, you want to see her make it again. And again. And-
>She quickly jolts back to life, looking away from you and composing herself
>"God, you're such an idiot sometimes..."
Then she looks back at you with a genuine, not smug smile
>"I love that about you, you know? I... I love you, Anon. I really do."
>Your heart feels like it's going to come out of your chest any second now
>"I love you too, Vee. You have no idea how much." You hug her with both arms and don't let go.
>She hugs you back, and you stay like this for who knows how many minutes.
>Then, you hear her, "Anon... Could you stay with me tonight?"
>Fuck. It was all going so well, but you know that's the one thing you can't do
>"I'm sorry Vee, if management found out I could get in serious-"
>"I'll hack the cameras! Don't worry about that!"
>She can do that?
