Thread: Don't Jinx Me! (ClearSight x Javorcek)

Jinx couldn't hear what Vi was saying but she could tell the woman was the life of the party for the few at the bar, each of the smiling and seeming to be having fun, even if Jinx didn't understand what was actually happening. Vi was like that, always enough charm to go around, getting along with everyone and making it seem easy. Jinx... She had never been able to wiggle her way in like that. She had been an outsider from the start, even to Vi back in the day they had been friends but only because Jinx had forced it. In fact, she wasn't so sure Vi had ever considered them the kind of friends Jinx believed them to be, and she clearly didn't have any of the same attractions Jinx had... That would change, she was sure it would, or hopeful enough to be excited and crazy enough to do something rash if it didn't. Not that her insanity played in to whether Vi would see her in a different light, but it definitely influenced what would happen afterwards, after she finished pouting for another few days and figuring out the best way to make Miss Fat Hands pay. A shame she only had one doughnut shop to blow up, unless she found out Vi's second favorite! Okay, dumb plan, but she liked it! It made her laugh, and there it was, the complete Jinx package, enough to remind anyone who had been staring too long that she was still as bonkers as ever. Ekko was grinning like an idiot. To him, Jinx agreeing to let him get her a drink was a step forward, and any step forward was a good step as far as he was concerned. It didn't cross his mind at all that her change in attitude should have been seen as strange and not a sign of hope, or that he was being used like the grinning idiot he was. Jinx wasn't going to let him know either, because the more he believed it the more anyone watching would believe it, and her intentions were set in stone, it needed to look believable. So Jinx, despite her desire to throw the drink in his face or tell him she would never be attracted to a man, she kept her calm. She smiled, laughed when he made an awful fucking joke about time. His attempts to be charming were the real joke, and Jinx tried to think that to make her laughs seem genuine, all the while stealing glances at Vi, waiting for the woman to look, if she ever would. It was only when she finally noticed Vi turned that way that Jinx made her move, flirting with a gorgeous smile and letting her hand brush Ekko playfully. Then, as like her as ever, she shifted from flirty to telling Ekko she would see him later, that she needed to mingle and do a few things. It was a clear blow off and anyone who knew Jinx would be more suspicious than anything if she said she was going to mingle, but Ekko's clouded mind noticed nothing wrong with it and nodded like a cheerful puppy. Jinx's plan, or what one could consider a plan, was to get Vi's attention, flirt with someone else in a ridiculous attempt to make Vi jealous, and then leave to give Vi a chance to follow her. It seemed like the dumb thing that someone would think about but would never work, but Jinx had a feeling Vi would come for whatever reason. After all, even if Vi didn't want to come because of jealousy, she had noticed Jinx, Piltover's number one pain in the ass, going off by herself where nobody was supposed to go, she had a duty to check it out. Plus, if her crazy plan that relied on so much conjecture and luck didn't work, she could blame it on the plan and not a lack of interest... It was nice to have a way out to fool herself with.
