𝖁𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐚 𝕳𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 was looking herself over in the mirror, of course, she like most days wasn't wearing anything fancy; It literally was just that of a plain black button up shirt with some comfortable faded blue jeans. The brunette violinist was damn sure that her only adopted sister would no doubly be overdressed for the occasion, but still, this was their adopted father's wake they really should wear something more casual clothes rather then something overly flashy. Vanya honestly didn't feel like she had the right to attend the funeral, after all, she knows just how upset everyone was with the biography that she published about her emotionally numbing life as forgotten Number Seven. Vanya still doesn't get their angry as it was her truth to tell, so why were they so upset? Would they be any happier if she had just lied throughout the entire book? She just doesn't know and she supposes that no matter what she does she'll never know or even be enough for her adopted family for that matter. They never truly cared about her as an individual and her book was just their new valid excuse as to why they chose to ignore her. In a really odd and probably really fucked up way, she glad that her siblings are not in her life as much as one would expect from family. It's given her so much time to just grow as a individual...she had time to process and heal; it has given her time to find people who truly value her and want to build this beautiful life. Lead her to fully understand what it meant to be loved and wanted.

Vanya definitely would have chickened out of seeing her adopted family after so many years if it wasn't for her two gorgeous girlfriends...if it wasn't for Morgana and Kai she doesn't know how thing would be like. As she was sure that her siblings did care about her on some weird fucked up level, but Vanya can't stand how immensely cold they often act towards her. It's unbearable to her and everyone else can see it, but don't do anything about it. Vanya remembers a little to vividly how bad her mental health was when she had first left the Academy. She remembers just how anxious, depressed, and suicidal she truly was. All of Vanya's adopted siblings, whether knowingly or not, had violently hurt her both emotionally and verbally. It was to point to that made her feel like she was just barely grazing the mere edges of complete brokenness and unfixable. That she was somehow the biggest burden in the world. But, with all of Morgana's unwavering kindness and all of Kai's strength, they're able to help her rebuild herself...but this version of herself was a better and truer version of what she always been. Vany has never felt more safer, loved, and special...

      " Honey?" Called a soft female voice that the brunette instantly recognized.

      " I'm in the bedroom, love." She called back. After a few seconds, she could hear the small creek on the old floorboards of their hallway that lead to their master bedroom, it was a sound she has gotten so accustomed to. Vanya looked up for the book she was reading before flashing a small smile towards her favor blonde that leans on the wooden framed entrance. "So, I been thinking. Are are you sure we can't just send your family some nice flowers with a card and just stay home?" Morgana asked before she moved from the wooden door frame and approached her brunette girlfriend of six years. ". We could watch a movie or something." The blonde then further offers as she climbs into the unoccupied side of the bed. Morgana then slowly move to drape her long pale arms around the smaller women's shoulders. She placed a small tender kiss on Vanya's neck as she let out a small hum of consideration at the idea. Vanay instantly felt herself relaxing as she felt the other women's arms around her shoulders and she ended up leaning into her loving the comforting embrace. "No, I really should be there in person...even if no one wants to see me. I'm sure they would just find a new way to be even more pissed off with me if I didn't show up or somehow throw it back in my face. Besides, at least I know my mom or Pogo might be the slightest bit happy to see me," she replied a little reluctantly, which earned a small sigh from her girlfriend. " Alright. I won't argue there, but don't think me and Kai aren't coming. We won't have you be completely miserable at this funeral." she tells her girlfriend in a sweet yet stern voice.

" Well, the gang is on they're way over to hangout before the funeral. They don't mind watching the girls for a little bit. But, 'Rena insists that we have to pay her in food. So, I was thinking we pick up some food on the way home and we have a big family dinner?" Kai calls from the other room before eventually appearing in the doorway after few passing minutes later. The redhead holds a shiny rose gold colored phone in right hand that is seemingly on speaker phone. The girls share a few silent glances of agreement.

" Sounds good to me!" Hums Vanya as she leans further into her girlfriend's embrace. It felt a little relieving to hear that her second family would at be there for her. Especially, since she had the sinking feeling that her siblings would some how punish her for whatever new reason that they deem fit. " Sushi sounds good to me. What do you guys think?"

" Sounds like a great idea, V! Me and the Skyler trio will be at your place in five!" Call the energetic responses of her best friend, Zander Simmons.

" Alright. Well, will see you nerds when you get here." Kai told them before promptly hanging up on them. The redhead then turned off her phone before slipping it into the pocket of her black shawl that was beautifully draped over her navy blue shirt and ripped black jeans. Kai glanced back at her two girlfriends before smiling. " Have a mentioned I love you bot because I really do." She tells them with a cheesy grin.

" Mmm. You might have mentioned it in passing." Tells her with tone that is caught between teasing and coy.   " But, I think you need to kiss us to prove it."
