Disclaimer: Fallout 3 belongs to Interplay and Bethesda Game Studios. I own nothing.
Author’s Notes: Another class assignment, this was supposed to be done before we posted our first short story. I only just finished it. We were supposed to use three characters we were considering using for the first story. Two of the other shorts were for my original Heart’s Discord. This one was for Fallout 3, as I was considering using that for my first story as well. We were to begin each short with the phrase “There had been better days”. Anyway, hope you enjoy. :D
“Unspoken”
There had been better days, back in the Vault, before Dad ran away and before she had to leave. Oh sure, there’d always been trouble with the Vault Hoodlums, Butch and his gang, especially when Claire was still a teenager; but even with that, life was peaceful. She was happy.
What stuck out most in her mind was when she first realized she was falling in love with her best friend, Amata Almadovar, the Overseer’s daughter. It was a moment of pain, fear, confusion, and a bit of excitement. She remembered being so afraid of what might happen if anyone knew she was attracted to another woman. That was something that was rather taboo in the Vault. Women were supposed to be attracted to men and vice-versa. They were supposed to marry a man and have children, to support the Vault’s population.
Claire didn’t want any of those things. She wanted Amata, her best friend and her sister-at-heart. In class, while Mr. Brotch was talking about whatever they were learning that day, sometimes she’d drift off and daydream about meeting with Amata in the dead of what passed for “night” in the underground Vault, perhaps in the classroom, and kissing her in a secluded corner. Sometimes she would even daydream of having sex with her, until Mr. Brotch brought her back to reality. “Miss Jameson, please stop staring off into space and answer question 10 on page 246, if you would…” Claire would blink, glance over at Amata, smile a little at her, and then do as she was asked. Someday, she’d tell Amata, in private. She couldn’t keep it pent up forever.
