Pairing(s): Phoenix x GN!Reader
Author(s) Notes:  I didn’t actually expect you guys to like this series so much! But regardless, I’m glad that you do! It gives me more excuses to write for my best boy hehe. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense in some parts, I kept scrapping and rewriting this, so this final piece is a literal combination of everything I scrapped but then said “fuck it” and then just wrote.  But uh, hope that you like this!
Tumblr media
“Brim sighed, “I want you to befriend their Phoenix, get him to come over to our side. If he’s anything like our Phoenix was, he’ll listen to what you have to say. I mean he already did when you were interrogating him earlier. If you can convince him then we’re all set,” his gaze softened noting your crestfallen expression, “Kid…you’ve got to move on alright? I know it hurts, but you can’t keep letting the past hold you back. And who knows, maybe you’ll even find a friend in him,” Brim shrugged. You were silent weighing your options. On one hand, you could decline, and you wouldn’t have to deal with the aching in your heart any longer, but on the other hand, a part of you longed to be able to talk with your Phoenix again.
“Fine, I’ll do it,” you responded, hoping that you wouldn’t regret your decision.”
Tumblr media
Against your better judgement, you decided to follow through with what Brim requested of you. As you unlocked his restraints, you looked up at Phoenix through the corner of your eye. “No funny business,” you said curtly, watching as the cuffs fell to the ground lifelessly. 
“Aren’t you worried I’m gonna run off the first chance I get?” he smirked, rubbing his wrists. “No,” you responded almost immediately, “If you did try to do that you’d be detained before you could do anything.” Phoenix studied your features, almost as if he was looking for something, but shook his head when it seeing as it appeared as though he didn’t find what he was looking for. 
As the two of you exited the holding cell, you paused before turning around and extending a hand out to him, “Y’know I feel like we got off on the wrong foot before, it wouldn’t hurt if we could try to be friends? I mean you’re stuck here so it shouldn’t hurt to have someone you can talk to,” you said, reciting the words exactly as Brim told you to say. Phoenix cocked his head to the side, gazing skeptically at your hand before hesitantly taking it. “I..guess it wouldn’t hurt,” he shrugged. “Though I dunno how the rest of your mates here are gonna feel about having a mirror agent roaming around their HQ.” 
“Oh you don’t need to worry your pretty head about it,” you smiled, a slight teasing undertone in your voice slipping out. You noticed how his eyes widened slightly before a familiar cocky smile graced his face. “Well if that’s the case the I hope ya don’t mind it if I make myself at home.”
[...]
Similarly to what he said, Phoenix soon took up residence in his old room. Or was that still technically his old room if he never actually took up residence in there? It didn’t matter now. As much as you wanted to avoid him, there was just something about his whole demeanor that managed to draw you back in. No matter how much you tried to resist, you found yourself still hanging around him, like a moth drawn to the flame. You tried to convince yourself that you were doing it for Brim’s sake, and only because he had instructed you to befriend him and nothing more. But deep down, you knew better. 
It disturbed you how quickly things seemed to go back to normal. Of course the other agents at the Protocol were suspicious of him, that’s a given, but upon realizing that he was no real threat because he couldn’t exactly do anything, they treated him just like they would treat your Phoenix. 
You wanted to hate him, you really did, but you could never bring yourself to actually hate him. There were just so many similarities between him and...your Phoenix. The way his eyes would sparkle after he cracked a dumb joke, or the way he would purposely cock that stupidly cute grin whenever he outshone the others in the Range by taking out more training dummies. And how he would charge in recklessly when doing something just to prove his point.
......
Dammit, you were compromised. 
You tried to stuff these rampant emotions down, the way he made you feel happy, and the fact that he let you forget all about the pain and anguish that you suffered from in the aftermath of what happened to your Phoenix. But somehow, with each passing day, you found it more difficult to push him away and in turn, the jumbled up emotions inside. 
You soon fell into a familiar rhythm with him. Had bantering always come so naturally when you were with Phoenix? As much as you didn’t want to admit it, being around him lifted a weight off your shoulders, one you didn’t even know you had. Was it the burden of your guilt-ridden conscious? That didn’t really matter to you now. Was it possible....that just maybe, you’d allow yourself to be content again? 
Before you knew it, you had fallen right back in, head over heels for him. 
[...]
“Y/N?” you heard him murmur your name. Looking over at him, you blinked at him curiously, wanting to hear what he had to say. “The sky...it looks nice doesn’t it?” he said, quickly averting his gaze as he looked away from you. You followed where he was looking, seeing all of the twinkling stars dancing in the night sky. “Yeah...I guess it’s nice,” you said. ‘Though it’s not as nice as spending time with you...’  you thought to yourself, keeping these thoughts to yourself. 
“Y’know when I was first captured and held here on Alpha Earth, I thought that my days here would be unbearable,” Phoenix started, his expression suddenly serious, “But then...you made it more bearable.” You stared at him in disbelief before nudging his shoulder, “Why so serious all of a sudden? That’s unlike you,” you smiled. “Am not! It’s just a thought that popped into my head is all,” Phoenix retorted, nudging you back. Your face flushed slightly from the sudden contact as you turned away, not wanting him to see how embarrassed you were. 
“Somethin’ wrong?” Phoenix asked, leaning over, concern on his face. “It’s nothing!” you yelped in alarm, suddenly standing up, “I’m leaving,” you added, turning to head to the door. “No wait!” Phoenix exclaimed, grabbing at your wrist, “Please.”
You turned to tell him off, but no words came out upon realizing just how close the two of you were. Phoenix must have also realized this, judging by how quickly he let go of your hand, a faint flush tinting his face. “S-sorry,” he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. “Nono, it’s okay,” you quickly respond, “I just wasn’t expecting it....What did you wanna say?”
Phoenix took a deep breath to steady himself before once again taking your hand in his. “I just...there are a lot of things I want to tell you, and I can’t get all my words out at once, but hopefully this can help me get my point across.” Phoenix pulled out his phone with his free hand spending a few seconds typing into his phone before setting it down gently. 
“To be young and in love in New York City  To not know who I am but still know that I'm good long as you're here with me To be drunk and in love in New York City  Midnight into morning coffee Burning through the hours talking”
You glanced at him, an eyebrow raised, as you recognized the peppy upbeat song. “Phoenix...are you doing what I think you’re doing?” you teased him lightly, the realization kicking in. “What? It was the only thing I could think of doing,” he scowled, huffing softly, a slight pout on his face. 
“Damn, I like me better when I'm with you I like me better when I'm with you I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause I like me better when I like me better when I'm with you”
“Well the song already said what I wanted to, so....if you’ll have me,” he mumbled, taking your other hand in his other hand. A look of genuine sadness crossed his gaze, before he continued, “I know that I’m not exactly the same as well...the other Phoenix, but I still wanna try my best to be there for you now. ‘Cause I lost my Earth’s you the same. I lost my best friend and...the love of my life. You just...you remind me so much of them and I wanna be there for you so that we can lean against each other if we need to,” he uttered with an air of finality, his grip on your hands tightening. 
You feel your heart practically throwing itself against your chest, and the all too familiar wrenching of your heart. “Phoenix..I-”
“I don't know what it is but I got that feeling Waking up in this bed next to you swear the room Yeah, it got no ceiling If we lay, let the day just pass us by I might get to too much talking I might have to tell you something”
Your mouth felt dry as you squeezed his hands back, “But what about your home on Omega Earth? I don’t exactly think that your Protocol is going to exactly appreciate your betrayal, once they catch wind of this.” Phoenix grimaced, “Look...there’s a lot of things that I realized in my time here on Alpha Earth. The first being that, I don’t ever want to let you go again,” he whispered, brushing a stray strand of your hair out of your face, “And the second is that I came to realize how destructive us planting the spike was and...I don’t want to hurt any people unnecessarily.” Your eyes widened at his statement, almost as if you hadn’t expected him to say that. 
There’s a brief silence between the two of you, not a single word spoken, but neither of you daring to speak up first.
“Damn, I like me better when I'm with you I like me better when I'm with you I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause I like me better when I like me better when I'm with you”
Phoenix finally broke the silence his eyes glinting with determination, “I’m not going back. I want to stay here with you.”
“Stay awhile, stay awhile Stay here with me Stay awhile, stay awhile, oh Stay awhile, stay awhile Stay here with me Lay here with me, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, oh”
“Okay,” you respond to him in a hushed tone, not trusting your voice to work properly. “I believe you,” you said, pulling away a hand to press it against his cheek, “You better not die on me, I don’t know if I could handle the heartbreak a second time, okay?” Phoenix pressed his hand back against the one resting on his cheek, tilting his head over to plant a soft kiss against the palm of your hand.
“I promise, for you, I’d do anything.”
“I like me better when I'm with you (Yes I do, yes I do, babe) I like me better when I'm with you (Oooh noo) I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time, 'cause I like me better when, I like me better when I'm with you
(I like me, I like me) (Look who you made me, made me, oh noo) Better when I like me better when I'm with you”

Valorant x Reader: You in their clothes
Tumblr media
This was fun to write hkhgfhgdjfh
Paring: Sova, Pheonix, Yoru x reader
Tags: Fluff, Established relationship, sharing clothes, teasing
Sova
Will 110% be left slack jawed
The amount of adoration this man has for you
Every neuron in his brain is firing rn
Bro is absolutely flabbergasted
It was a pretty calm morning at the agency, lucky for you there wasn't much to do today; because of this, you didn't let Sasha's alarm go off and rouse him, you knew he needed the rest. You thought it might be a good idea to surprise him with something nice, a smile drew across your face as you knew exactly what you were going to do.
When Sova woke up, he felt surprisingly well rested and was equally as shocked to realize that his alarm didn't go off- he looked over yo your side of the bed. Empty. He was worried for a moment before catching the smell of something being made in the kitchen, with only his grey sweatpants and without a second thought he made his way out into the kitchen where he saw you.
Good god were you a sight to see, his jaw hit the floor at the sight of you in his shirt, only his shirt. Shades of pink and red dusted his otherwise pale face as he took a moment to take in your beauty, the beauty of you, in his clothes.
"My dove.." He couldn't even finish his sentence, instead opting to come up behind you and bury his head in your neck pressing himself up to you and smothering you with kisses.
After breakfast there was definitely more then just kisses and cuddles though ;)
Pheonix
Giddy and excited while he picks you up and spins you around
he's hyping you up
Will probably want to try on your clothes after
dork
It started with his jacket, you were in a silly goofy mood as you like to put it. then it was his shirts, and now you've taken a shoelace out of an old pair of shoes to use as belt to keep a pair of his sweatpants up around your waist. You were proud of your ingenuity and smiled to yourself as you looked in the mirror.
You wandered out with your new outfit into the living area of the Valorant HQ, playing down your excitement as you walked out and greeted your friends, Jett, Yoru, and Pheonix were on the couch and Sage was in the kitchen. Jett and Yoru were both totally in on this plan of yours and Jett had quietly started recording as you caught Pheonix's eye.
Pheonix was, ho boy- he was stunned, his face starting to burn up with blush, Yoru started to snicker at this, earning himself a playful smack from Pheonix before he got up to embrace (tackle) you.
"BHABBBBBEEYYY, youresoprettyandohmygodiloveyousomuchwhatwoudlsndahwdklw-"
Pheonix's jumbled mess of words earned laughter from his friends, though he paid them no mind, instead opting to spin you around and press kisses all over your face.
Sage chuckled to herself as she watched the display, glad they could find these moments of peace.
Yoru
This man is too shy to admit your rock his jacket
Smitten and overprotective
he wants to be the only one allowed to see you like this
he def doesn't think anyone else is worthy of the sight of you in his clothes
Yoru doesn't like sharing, this is a well known fact. You love to tease people, especially Yoru, this is another well known fact. So today in your ongoing and never-ending crusade to mess with your boyfriend you decided to one of his shirts and his jacket.
Yoru was alone with a book on the couch at Valorant HQ and when you walked in he mindlessly greeted you before doing a double take-
"Is that-" He couldn't even finish his sentence as he took in the sight of you in his clothes. "What's wrong baby?" You teased as you walked over, taking the book from his hands and sitting down in his lap.
"Idiot.." He mumbled, blush tinting his cheeks as he drew you in close to him, a loving- though also possessive- hold.
From around the corner Jett and Pheonix were watching with slack jawed grins, though.. Pheonix's camera flash gave them away.
"Pheonix and Jett, you have five seconds." Yoru called into the room, sending a rift anchor after them as they both started to book it, laughter echoing through the hall. He set you down onto the couch, pressing a small kiss to your cheek before opening a rift to the anchor he'd sent after the two.
He'd never hear the end of this.

omg what abt valorant sova/chamber watching their s/o get killed by their mirror counterparts 🤭🤭
The Wrong Reflection - ft Cypher, Chamber, Sova & Phoenix
Tumblr media
Includes: Cypher, Chamber, Sova and Phoenix
Genre: angst, hurt/comfort
Summary: you encounter your boyfriend's mirror counterpart and realize all too late what's about to happen, and all he can do is watch
CW: violence, major character death, stabbing, shooting, degrading?, lots of angst, major injuries, near death experience, resurrection, hurt/comfort, some fluff at the end?, fainting
so this isn't *quite* what you asked for but i really loved this idea and wanted to make it a little less angsty so here we are lol...also this is my first time writing about Sova, Chamber & Phoenix so if they're a little OOC or there's timeline issues thats why
————
Cypher:
Though everyone at Valorant had been warned about the evil doppelgangers that seemed to look and sound exactly like your closest comrades, hearing about it just wasn’t the same as seeing it. No matter how many times the other agents testified to you that it was the truth and swore up and down that there were “two Phoenix’s”, you just couldn’t wrap your head around it.
Until now, of course. Sent on a mission with Cypher and Jett, separated when a grenade went off and forced to hide in an alleyway until the smoke cleared, you didn’t think the day could get much worse. Then you saw your boyfriend’s hat through the smoke and went to pursue him, only for him to spin around and shove a dagger just below your ribs.
You flinch and lurch forward, just barely able to catch yourself before going toppling over. He yanks the dagger from your side, and just as you’re about to ask ‘why’, blood bubbles over your lips. You blink a few times, head spinning from both the pain and blood loss. 
Why would he…
And then you remember. You remember the warnings from Brimstone and the stories from Phoenix. This wasn’t your boyfriend at all. This must have been the mirror counterpart they told you about. 
Worst yet, your real boyfriend was nowhere to be found and you’re losing blood fast. It’ll be a miracle if you can even crawl, let alone fight. 
Somehow, you manage to get to your knees and pull out the small pistol you had tucked into your waistband. You brandish the weapon threateningly, swinging it around in a warning. The doppelganger doesn’t seem to care, though. 
You squeeze the trigger.
Cypher is frantic. He’s tearing through the streets, desperately searching for you. He didn’t want to be separated, but there was no other choice. The camera he had placed where you had first been was shrouded in smoke, smoke that was clearing way too slowly for his taste.
How long has it been since your comms went dead? Five minutes? Ten? He shakes his head. He can’t worry about that now. You have to be okay. You can’t die on him now.
He checks his camera one more time, leaning his back on a brick wall in a futile attempt to catch his breath. When the familiar screen loads, he’s relieved to see the smoke finally cleared enough to grant him sights on the streets below. 
The relief lasts only a second.
You’re on your knees, blood pooling down your side and forming a dark puddle on the scorched pavement. And standing in front of you is him. His heart sinks. He doesn’t need audio to know what must have happened. You must have mistaken the counterpart for him, and paid the cost.
Not you, he thinks. Anyone but you. Before he knows it, he’s tearing away from the wall, sprinting as fast as his legs can carry him back to where you were. He’s only seconds away, but he doesn’t even know if he’ll make it in time. He turns the corner just in time to hear the gunshot.
He flinches, heels skidding to a halt. You collapse to the ground face first in a pool of your own blood. His doppelganger is nowhere to be seen. His heart is racing so fast it's painful. Everything seems surreal. This can’t be happening, not to him, not again. 
His only solace is the slight twitch of your body, a miniscule sign of life.
He rushes forwards, dropping onto the pavement and sliding to you. He ignores the burning in his knees, the strain on his lungs. All he cares about is your collapsed form on the ground.
He flips you over, examining every inch of your body. He squints. There’s no bullet wounds, no signs of being shot. There’s only a gash just below your ribs, and that's clearly the source of the blood.
But hadn’t he heard a gunshot?
He looks at the small pistol laying on the ground next to you, the barrel still warm. There’s a bullet hole in the wall in front of you, and he almost sobs in relief. You didn’t get shot. You shot back.
He squeezes your body to his, so happy he almost forgets you’re bleeding out. It’s only when he feels your warm blood staining his clothes and hands that he remembers. 
“I’ve got you, little one,” he murmurs, scooping you up into his arms. “I promise.”
You’re not going to die on him today, he thinks. You’re coming back to him, no matter what.
You wake up in your own bed. It takes you a while to realize where you are, your eyes barely able to focus and your head pounding. You inch your way towards sitting up, your side burning the whole time.
What happened? You blink, trying to force yourself into remembering. You had been on a mission, right? With Amir.
Oh, you realize, memories coming back. He was there, but so was his mirror counterpart. And he had stabbed you. That’s why your side hurts. 
Still, it doesn’t explain how you got back, or how you’re even alive.
The door bursts open, and Cypher is standing there panting. “Y-you’re awake!” 
You’re beyond asking how he knows, assuming he put a camera in your room the minute you got back. You just nod, taking in his disheveled state.
“I was so worried,” he closes the door softly, coming down to sit in front of you. “You were…you almost—” he sighs “—are you sore? Can I hold you?”
“Yeah,” you say, your voice so hoarse you barely recognize it.
He wastes no time in wrapping his arms around you and nuzzling his head into your shoulder. “Don’t ever leave me again,” he mumbles into your neck, hot breath fanning over your shoulder, “please. I can’t lose you.”
Chamber:
Chamber had never once been worried about his counterpart. After all, they shared a common goal, and he assumed his counterpart had the same soft spot for you that he did.
He assumed wrong.
It was a month ago when you went on a mission together. A month since you followed the wrong Vincent, and a month since he almost killed you. Had your real boyfriend not been there, you would be toast by now. 
That incident was almost enough to make him reconsider his partnership with his mirror self. Almost. Still, he swore if he ended up in that situation again, he would protect you. That wannabe wouldn’t lay his damn hands on you again.
Now, stepping off the jet with him, you’re not worried. You know better now, and you and Chamber had also come up with a codeword only he would know to distinguish the two.
“Just stay by my side, okay?” He cautions, overprotective as always, “if we stick together, he won’t get the chance.”
You nod, letting him lead you across the abandoned pier. You duck behind storage boxes and abandoned machinery, Vincent trying to find the place where they’re going to plant the bomb. 
There’s a slight clicking behind you, ever so slight, like the scraping of footsteps on gravel. You turn your head for a second, see nothing, and turn back to see your boyfriend staring at you.
“What is it?” You ask, “did you find it?”
He shakes his head, “we already passed it. We have to go back a ways.” You nod in agreement, letting him lead the way. He leads you back the way you came, around a corner and to a deserted place in the docks. The surface is incredibly damp and uneven. You can’t see how they could ever plant a bomb here.
“Are you sure? It looks—”
You’re cut off by him pulling out his pistol and shooting you through the shoulder. The force of the shot is enough to knock you onto your ass, the pressure from the bullet making you scream in pain.
No, you think. This can’t be. You took your eyes off of him for one second, not even. How had he replaced your Chamber? How did your Chamber not notice you missing or—had he done something to him? “How?” You wheeze, applying pressure to your shoulder.
A smirk finds its way to his face.
Chamber expects you to be behind him when he runs from the storage box you’re currently behind to another. He’s so sure you’re going to follow him that he doesn’t even turn around. He’s so focused on finding where they’re going to plant that he doesn’t even realize your body heat isn’t behind him. 
To him, nothing seems wrong until he hears the sound of a gun go off. Not just any gun, his pistol. He whips around, expecting you to be there. His heart drops when you’re not. 
How had he tricked you? Did you run off? He shakes his head. You weren’t stupid, he was just too smart for his own good. But if he’s hurt you or worse, Chamber can only imagine the ways he’ll torture his mirror self.
He sprints back to where you were before, desperately looking for any evidence of you or where you could have gone. He tries to think like himself, tries to think of what he would do if he was trying to lure you to an early grave.
But he can’t. He would never hurt you, he would never think to even try. Time is running out, he knows it. If you’re not already dead, you will be in seconds. He slams his fist against the steel of the crate, the pounding echoing throughout the pier. 
He freezes. An echo. That’s right, for the sound to carry where he was, it had to have echoed off the boxes. So, he just has to follow them and find you, right?
He takes off quick as lightning, climbing the crate and leaping across the tops for a better vantage point.  Come on, y/n, he sighs. You can’t die on him like this. You can’t die because of him. 
He’s done a lot of bad things in his life, but he can’t possibly see what he’s done to deserve this. He can’t possibly see what higher power is cruel enough to take you from him.
He’s going fast, faster than he’s gone in his entire life. All he needs is to reach you, to save you, to do his job as your damn boyfriend and protect you. 
He hears a whimper and skids to a halt. There, just below him. You’re laying on the ground, blood pooling around your head. His other self is crouched above you laughing, dragging his pistol across your body.
He’s taunting you, he realizes.
That’s fine. If he wants to play, Chamber will play. His mirror self doesn’t see him coming, doesn’t see his sniper rifle being pulled out. Chamber takes a deep breath, steadying the scope like he’s done a million other times in his life. 
Just as he takes the shot, so does his doppelganger. The bullet rips through your chest, your body seizing once before going limp. The other bullet tears through the skull of his doppelganger and sends him toppling to the ground. 
Chamber hops down, rushing to your side. The blood is pouring out now, and though he’s seen countless people die, it's different when it's the love of his life. Your face and hair are coated in your blood. He hates the way it gets on his hands and covers his sleeves when he tries to apply pressure to the wound.
Your heart is beating, just barely. His mirror self must have missed but…he shakes the thought away. He needs to focus on you now. You can’t die on him, not now. Still, his own hopes don’t change the way your heart rate is slowing down more and more by the second.
He’s out of time.
You wake up in a flash of blue light. You have to blink a few times to focus, but the energy coursing through your veins is so intense it's like your senses have been dialed up to 11. Sage is standing in front of you, looking at you in concern. Her eyes are slightly puffy.
Next to her, his head hanging low, is Chamber. Your eyes shoot wide as you remember what happened, and start to register what's going on. He had killed you. Well, not him, but his other self. You died and—and Sage resurrected you.
The energy starts to leave and your strength wanes. You pitch forwards, expecting to hit the floor, but Chamber catches you before that can happen. He’s holding you gently but securely, strong arms unrelenting. 
“Mon chérie,” he sighs into your hair. “I can’t bear to part with you again.”
Sova:
It’s white as far as you can see across the horizon, snow blotting out everything in your path. You’re already nervous—this is a big mission, after all—but the snow just makes you feel even more uneasy. 
Your boyfriend grabs your shoulder reassuringly. “We get in, we get out.” 
You nod at him but your nerves are still on fire. Brim got wind of someone planning on bombing a safe house, and sent you and Sova to go investigate. 
It made sense why your boyfriend would be sent—he practically breathed cold air—but you? You despised the cold. Yet, they were unrelenting in their decision and no matter how many times your boyfriend assured you that you would be fine, you weren’t convinced. 
“Cover your footsteps,” you remind him. “They’re easier to track in the snow.”
He sighs, “angel, there’s nothing out there to hurt you. I’ll protect you.”
It warms your chest slightly to hear him say those words. Only for a second, though, until you make a wrong step into a snowbank and you’re sent tumbling away from him.
You roll to your feet, covered in snow and glaring. You look up to where you were, but your boyfriend is nowhere in sight. 
“Sova?” You call. 
No answer. 
You turn around. Could he have gone a different way? Or did you fall so far that he’s out of sight?
“Sasha!”
You hear a noise behind you and whip around, drawing your weapon. There’s nothing there. “Sasha, please! I—“
“I’m here.”
You turn around, coming face to face with him. He has his head tilted at you curiously, using one hand to push your weapon down. 
You frown. Something seems off. How did he get down here so fast? And if he was here, why wasn’t he answering your calls? 
“Why didn’t you answer me? I was calling you.”
“Sorry,” he shrugs. “I came as fast as I could.”
“Right…let’s get back up, okay, we need to monitor the situation.”
You start hiking through the knee-deep snow, trying to get back to where you were. You pause about halfway up, though, when you realize you don’t hear footsteps behind you. 
You turn around, about to ask why he isn’t coming up with you. You face him, and just as you do, you hear another voice behind you, Sova’s voice, yell: “y/n look out!” 
It’s too late, though. 
The Sova you’re facing let’s an arrow fly loose and you have no time to dodge. It embeds itself into your chest with a seeing pain, and you fall backwards into the snow. Despite the cold, your whole body feels like it’s on fire now. 
Your breaths are shallow and ragged, your chest barely rising and falling with each one. 
Sova stares horrified, looking between you and his doppelgänger. 
As soon as he saw you fall through the snowbank, he was coming up with a plan to come and save you. To get a better look at his surroundings, he uses his Recon bolt. 
That’s when he sees two figures at the bottom of the snowbank. His blood runs cold (or colder than usual), and he’s sprinting towards you. Just when he can see the top of your head, you turn around. 
He gets closer and that’s when he sees someone that looks exactly like him. He tries to warn you, yelling your name, but all he succeeds in doing is distracting you. 
That’s when the other Sova lets an arrow fly at you. You have no time to move before it’s planting itself in your chest. 
Sova nocks an arrow and lets it fly, but all it does is wound his other self. The other Sova gives a half-hearted salute, and runs away. 
Sova runs to your body, the snow beneath you stained red. He checks your pulse, but there’s nothing there. He’s frantic, desperately pressing his head to your chest to hear your heart beating. 
Maybe it’s the cold. 
Hoping is all he can do. Hoping against all odds that the cold has slowed your pulse down enough to save your life, that that’s the reason you’re not breathing. 
He breaks the arrow, hands shaking when he realizes it’s one of his. He tosses the arrowhead to one side and the shaft to another, before lifting you as gently as he can. 
You come to in an infirmary bed. Starch white sheets pulled up over your chest. Your eyes adjust to the light and you see that you’re in the Valorant infirmary. 
You try to sit up but your chest burns and you’re left laying down in the bed. You turn your head to the side, just to see Sova laying there. 
His hair dangles in his face, tickling his nose. You smile softly and push it out of the way. He’s frowning in his sleep and dark circles sit under his eyes. 
You wonder how long it’s been since he slept. It was only in his nature to blame himself for something like this. You could only hope it wouldn’t change anything between the two of you. 
You stroke his head gently, flinching when a hand grabs yours. Sova is half awake now, looking at you through tired eyes. His hand is in yours, thumb rubbing circles over the back of your hand. 
“I didn’t mean to wake you,” you say softly. 
“No, no. I’m just—I’m glad you’re alright.”
“How long has it been?” You ask. 
He grabs your other hand in his, his need for contact practically insatiable. “A few days,” he admits. “I was worried you would never wake up…”
“Hey, I’m here,” you give a weak smile, “and I’m alright. But you, you look like hell.”
You slide over in bed as much as you can and pat the spot next to you. “Come rest with me.”
He reluctantly climbs in bed next to you, wrapping his arms around you carefully. He nuzzled his head into your shoulder and kisses it softly. 
The two of you stay like that until he falls asleep. 
Phoenix:
Phoenix was the first to see his doppelgänger—and he would not shut up about it. Night in and night out, he would talk non stop about it. 
“He’s just as cool and as sexy as me—it’s like me, but evil!”
And you would roll your eyes at your boyfriend. “Sure he is, Jamie.”
You never pictured you would come face to face with him, so you never cared too much about your boyfriend’s words. 
Now, on a mission chasing your boyfriend's doppelgänger, you wish you had paid more attention. He really was identical to your Phoenix, and it only made it harder on you. 
You’re pushing yourself hard, harder than ever before, trying your best to catch him. He was faster than you and stronger, and way more agile. It made you wonder just how much he had been holding back on you in training. 
Your Phoenix is nowhere to be seen, too. You split up at the start of the mission and now he wasn’t answering his radio and you had no possible clue where he had gone. 
The Phoenix ahead of you disappears into a building, and despite your unease, you duck through the doorway and follow him. You follow him up the stairs and into a tiny, half-finished room. 
He smirks at you, eyes flickering with flames. “Wow, you really are almost as pretty as my y/n.” 
“It sucks you’re not nearly as hot as my Phoenix.” 
He rolls his eyes at that. You wonder what he’s doing, why he hasn’t attacked yet. Is he waiting for something? You can’t tell. 
You had no time to react when he raises his hands and the whole room erupts into flames. They’re scorching and they take the wood easily. The mirror Phoenix only gives you a half-hearted salute before leaving you to burn. 
You rip off your shirt, using it to cover your face from the smoke. You can’t possibly escape—the windows are barred and the door is blocked by the flames. You’re going to burn to death, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. 
— 
Phoenix only realizes something is wrong when he sees a building up in flames. His comms broke as soon as he left and he had been searching for you ever since. 
When he sees the building, he just knows what must be going on. It only takes a matter of seconds to get inside the building and tear his way up the stairs to where the flames are beginning to spread. 
He sees you, limp in the corner with a shirt pressed over your face. He runs through the flames, the heat barely tickling his skin, and scoops you up into his arms. You’re alive—barely—but he knows running through the flames with you in his arms might do more damage than good. 
He can’t lose you, and staying here he’ll lose you for sure. He has to take the risk, but for the first time in his life, he hesitates. He would rather burn here with you than lose you. 
You start to come to while Phoenix carries you, coughing up blood and wheezing more than breathing. He rubs your back and tries to reassure you that everything will be okay, but he doesn’t know what he’s going to do. 
You’re awake, and that’s a good sign, but you need more medical attention than he can possibly give you in the field. He already called HQ but he has no idea when they’ll be here. 
He settles down on the ground near where the jet will pick you guys up, holding you firmly on his lap. He kisses your forehead, rubs your back and tries to keep you as calm as possible. 
You slump into him, arms lazily wrapped around his shoulders. His touch is reassuring but your skin still feels like it’s on fire and your lungs still ache from the smoke. 
You silently hope you make it through this because you know if you don’t, it’ll tear him apart.

The Orange Theory
Tumblr media
Characters: Valorant Protocol except for a few of them Type: Headcanons, Gn!reader
I was eating an orange and thought of this <3 if any of these are ooc forgive me I'm going solely based off of what I interpret from the game
Warnings: idk last one can be a lil angsty?
Tumblr media
❥ These agents would peel your orange for you without a second thought. As a matter of fact, they'd make sure to get rid of all the stringy bits left behind from the peel. Hell, they'd probably even feed it to you! They're sure that their lover gets only the best, sweetest, peel-less orange and would peel a thousand more over just to make you happy.
-Gekko, Harbor, Jett, Neon, Phoenix, Raze, Skye
❥ They're not to sure why you can't peel the orange yourself but would do it for you regardless. It was a simple enough request of them, why would there be a need to complain? Maybe they don't go above and beyond all the time but they love you enough to complete the tasks you ask of them.
-Brimstone, Cypher, Deadlock, Fade, Iso, Killjoy, Reyna, Sage, Sova
❥ Why would you ask them do so something so trivial? Can't you tell they're busy? They have no time to do anything as silly as peel an orange for you, they have much better things to do. Seriously, why can't you just do it yourself?
-Chamber, Omen, Viper, Yoru

Valorant characters reacting to being suddenly hugged
Characters included: KAY/O, Yoru, Phoenix
KAY/O
Are you trying to die?
I'd imagine that smacking into metal isn't a pleasant experience
If you do survive, he'd tell you to not do it again since he could really hurt you
I feel like he'll try to make it up by spending more time to do activities with you, or let you doodle on his arms/body
Yoru
probably would be caught off guard, but wouldn’t show it
Covers it up with some smooth comment, like “Did you miss me that much?”, then hug you back
If you hug him in front of the other agents, he'd be extra to play off any embarrassment
Like, add in a lot of comments and teasing and whatnot
Secretly melts a little on the inside
He’d likely hug you back awkwardly once you two are alone
Phoenix
Loves it 1000000000%
He’d immediately hug you back, or pick you up and spin you around with a big grin on his face
Doesn’t matter if you’re in public or private, in front of agents or not, he’s doing it anyway
If he’s feeling sad or bummed out, he’d just kind of melt into your arms and stay there until he feels better
Just very wholesome, sweet moments
These were kind of short… but I hope you enjoyed! My requests are open, so feel free to request something!

Here's a request for you to write:
the valorant agents celebrating your birthday the whole day 🥳🥳
(With gifts becuase why not🎁)
i love this one!! yeah!!!
warnings: mentions of alcohol
valorant agents celebrating your birthday with you
phoenix, jett, and raze would probably wake you up first thing just to scream sing happy birthday to you.
astra would too but she has the common decency to wait until you’re awake first (this womans singing is a blessing)
you know those little singing cards?? killjoy makes you one of those for you.
skye makes you breakfast, her love language is food and i don’t take criticism on this.
gifts!! so many gifts!!
chamber probably gets you something ridiculous like a tailored suit lol
omen made a knitted sweater for you, but the gift box doesn’t say it’s from him. everyone knows it is though, theres only one person in the protocol who knits.
you get a ‘happy birthday’ from yoru, a smile if you’re lucky.
same with viper, i cant really see her being into gift giving.
cypher knows EXACTLY what you like, which isn’t surprising, but he always gets you something good.
brim gets you socks. theyre good socks.
sova gives you a stuffed animal, like an owl or a rabbit.
breach gives you this long ass speech about getting older, getting stronger, etc.
neon and raze both make a mixtape for you, it’s really easy to tell who added which song because of their music tastes lol
kay/o doesn’t know what to get you. he’s confused. do robots even have birthdays???
reyna also somehow knows what to get you?? she gives some good ass gifts.
fade would give you a cat if she could, she has like 5 in her room. if she can’t give you one then she lets you into her room to pet them for the day.
you best BELIEVE these guys are taking you out, no way ur spending ur birthday in headquarters.
because phoenix is canonically a theatre kid i feel like he’d get you tickets to a play or a movie.
jett, neon, and kj take you to the arcade, kj gets kicked out because she’s winning the claw machine a suspicious amount of times.
she didn’t break it she’s just really good
they definitely all take you out to lunch and/or dinner and theres definitely a party at hq
sage bakes a birthday cake, this woman can BAKE its so good.
everyone sings you happy birthday at the end
EVERYONE
even yoru
there may or may not be alcohol involved at the party, courtesy of breach
brimstone doesn’t approve of this

more very random valorant hcs because i said so
cw: might be ooc for some. or most. i could not care less honestly
skye braids sova's hair sometimes
astra has a video of cypher slipping and landing on the floor ass first
astra does reyna's makeup sometimes. or vice versa. raze and jett asks for them to do theirs too. phoenix is also quite interested in having colorful eyeshadows cus he said it makes him look more bold and flashy.
i feel like yoru has a lot of ear piercings but stopped putting on earrings (except for the ones on his ear lobes)
once, during valentine's day, phoenix bought everyone in the protocol flowers
one time, cypher was really having a bad day but then he saw chamber bump his head on the door frame thru the cameras and it made his entire day better
skye has a pet chicken
brimstone has this habit of smiling at agents that he passes by in HQ too
killjoy knows how to do kick boxing
chamber dislikes starbucks
reyna has reading glasses
there was one time wherein phoenix was on a british slang frenzy. there wasn't a sentence that he said that didn't contain, "bruv" and "innit"
- yoru, neon, and raze teased him a lot for it by adding innit and bruv to their vocabulary; even in very very random sentences that didn't make sense.
"g'day, mates." said neon. "mornin', bruv." raze replied. "ohayo gozaimasu innit." said yoru.
it was it went on for a while, roughly a month. what surprised and amused everyone in the protocol was when reyna joined in and said, "it's tuesday, innit?" randomly on a wednesday evening. it's safe to say that phoenix toned it down a bit. it was a fun time for everyone in the protocol, though. they made sure that phoenix was alright after it too.
sometimes, all the agents go on a road trip for a vacation. (they go on separate cars/vans)
the drivers: breach, chamber, reyna.
reyna doesn't allow the agents that's in the car that she drives to have a pee break, saying that she wants to arrive at the vacation place quicker, making the driving a competition that the other two are unaware about. she'll go only when they're on the verge of tears.
breach tricked raze into swallowing a sleeping pill so that she'd be asleep throughout most of the ride. the other agents were so thankful for she's one of the noisiest n can't stay still during a car ride (poor boom boom)
chamber's the driver that goes through McDonald's drivethru but only buys coffee for himself
the ones in reyna's car: neon, killjoy, phoenix, brimstone, viper
the ones in breach's car: jett, fade, cypher, sage, raze
the ones in chamber's car: yoru, astra, skye, sova, omen
the ones that have pills for headaches n oils for body aches: sage, skye, sova
the one that always asks if there's a bathroom nearby: killjoy
"are we there yet?": cypher, neon
asleep most of the time: astra, raze
the chill ones : quiet most of the time but they're the one that starts car arguments/debates: yoru, fade, omen, viper (omen's the only one that's really quiet)
fade once asked if water was wet out loud and jett and breach fought back and forth about it for two hours.
yoru randomly pointed out that chamber looked bald and they didn't stop for a pee break for four hours.
astra connects skye's freckles with a washable marker. it was kind of hard doing it on the road and with omen in between their seats but he just let them do their thing. saying, "you missed one." from time to time.
yoru and astra would secretly eat all the snacks in their car and would act so upset when accused. yoru would blame it on sova. much like the situation/video meme:
"don't look at me. look at sova." yoru said
"what? i didn't eat it."
"huh, that's weird. how did you even know it was eaten?" yoru asked.
"... because the chip bags are right in front of us, and they're empty."
"suspicious." astra spoke.
"no, it's not-"

For all my Astra lovers, I’ve posted the 1st chapter of, “Coils and Coronets.” It’s part of my Crown of Curls series, starring the afro-featured agents exploring musings and trials with their own hair as inspired by my own personal experiences.

heywo happy monday!
may i request enemies to lovers where gn!reader gets an agent as a bodyguard assigned because they got captured as a strong radiant (Fade typa beat) (Yoru, Phoenix and Chamber)
excuse my bad english i hope it's readable 😔
Warnings: none
Genre: fluff
Pairing(s): Yoru x GN!Reader, Phoenix x GN!Reader, Chamber x GN!Reader
Authors Notes: hey there! your english is great, so not to worry ^^ ALSO IM ALIVE YOU GUYS I SWEAR, I DIDN’T DISAPPEAR OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH 
this was kinda all over the place so i apologize 😭
_______________
Tumblr media
Yoru
I’m gonna be honest, he’s an asshole to you. But I mean he’s an asshole to everyone around him a hot one at that though
So there you are, sitting in the interrogation room at what you presume is their headquarters and their leader walks in with someone else, a man who had a seemingly permanent scowl on his face.
You're informed that although you'd be joining the VP, you'll have someone to watch over you for the first few months of your stay there(you're fairly sure it's just to make sure you don't cause any unnecessary trouble.)
You come to find out that the man assigned to you is none other than Yoru himself, somewhat infamous for working alone even if he had over team members to work with him.
the two of you didn't really get along at first, the sound of your bickering could be heard echoing throughout the halls.
but also because of your capabilities, Yoru was also constantly trying to one up you and prove that he was the better radiant, and ultimately it just devolved into a big competition between the two of you
and in all of the time you spent together, its only natural that you guys would end up developing feelings for one another
yoru is a denier and he firmly denies that he has any sort of attraction to you when in actuality it's very, very obvious and jett and phoenix clown on him for it all the time
but nothing can hide the way that he stares at you fondly while watching you do your own thing
Tumblr media
Phoenix
you didn't know what to think of him when you first met the man who said he would be keeping an eye on you, he was friendly to you and could keep a conversation which made you want to lower your guard, until you realized thats probably what the protocol wanted you to do.
phoenix is easy to talk to, he cracks jokes and overall lightens the mood as a whole. You wonder how someone like him ended up at a place like the VP, and how he manages to stay lighthearted despite the line of work he's in.
even with all of the walls that you’ve put up, he still somehow manages to worm his way into your heart. Every action he makes suddenly seems endearing to you, and you find yourself looking forward to hanging out with him
what really cemented and confirmed to yourself that you had fallen for him was a fairly precarious situation that happened on one of your missions together. 
You guys had gotten separated from each other and the rapid spraying of gunfire from every direction was definitely not helping. You did eventually manage to get out by utilizing your abilities but by the time you got to Phoenix, you found him sitting in a pool of his fire trying to heal up but he was fairly beaten up
After you secured the area, you spent the rest of the time you had before you guys were rescued holding his face in your hands and talking to him in a quiet voice, mainly about random things, but you were mostly doing it to make sure he would stay with you.
It scared you to admit it out loud but you genuinely had come to care for the man, and almost losing him made you realize it.
Tumblr media
Chamber
the sussy man is your bodyguard?? I mean hey, he’s loaded, both in cash and in weapons
he’s very eloquent in the way that he speaks to you, holding you in high regard, you’re unsure of if it’s because he’s wary of your abilities so that’s the only reason why he’s acting genial with you.
and of course he’s a flirt, he manages to find ways to drop the fanciest pick up lines towards you. It’s not surprise that any person would probably end up falling for him
which is what you did
and you question yourself on whether or not a normal sane person would try to find ways to unfall for him LMAO
But alas you’re stuck battling your conflicting feelings for him
he likes to tease you a lot though, seeing you get all riled up is one of his favorite pastimes /hj
you might find it annoying but while you’re turned away, he can’t seem to hide the way his expression softens as he talks and banters with you
_______________

Wanna know what else I’ll write for? Here you go!
Thanks for reading and have a lovely day!

May I request;
A reader constantly, randomly squeak about how cute they are, with sova/ Phoenix. (example, they be chillin' and eating or whatever then they hear 'AHh you're So cute!!!')
A/N: I gotchuuuu B) I'm interpreting this request as the reader being the one squeaking <3
Tags: Established relationship, fluff, GN!reader

"So Cute!!" Sova & Pheonix x Reader
Pheonix [Jamie Adeyemi]
This would melt his heart tbh
he'd do it back
it would turn into well.. you'll see
You and your lovely boyfriend Jamie were sitting and watching a movie in your shared apartment, it was the movie 'Up' and Jamie had somehow never seen it before.
Jamie was being his normal goofball self and you didn't realize it wasn't just in your head when you went: "You're so stink'in adorable-!!!!! I can't stand it!"
Jamie paused upon hearing this, turning to you with a bright smile and rose tinted cheeks as he pulled you in closer, "Naaaahh!! That's you!"
You then realized you'd spoken aloud, mildly embarrassed you blushed a bit but decided to commit-
"nope! it's you!"
"nuh-uh I don't believe it"
"well believe it because you're adorable!"
"Say what you want cupcake but you're far more adorable!"
This back and forth would go on and on, I'll let you decide how it ended :)
Sova [Sasha Novikov]
bro is smitten tbh
you just know his pale ass face is turning into a cherry
grumbly little denials
You could be a bit of a tease with your boyfriend sometimes, never anything naughty (mostly), but you just couldn't help it! The look on his face was always priceless.
Today you two were cooking in the kitchen together, making breakfast- you looked over to him as a groggy yawn escaped him- "GahhH-!! You're ADORABLE!!!"
His faced turned rosy and he shook his head, his long hair messy- he tried to use it to cover how red he knew his face was but it didn't work, you parted his hair and reached up to cup his cheeks.
"..'m not adorable.." Sasha mumbled, his mind still fuzzy from sleep
You giggled, obviously more awake than he was,
"Oh but you are my love" You looked at him with a loving adoration that absolutely melted his heart
"What did I do to deserve you?" He wondered aloud, holding one his hands over one of the ones you had cupping his face and drawing you in close with his other free hand.
You smiled a warm smiled and returned the affection with a small and loving kiss
"You deserve the world Sasha.. and I'd do anything to give it to you.."

Chamnix having days off from work but because of the distance between their location, they have to spend it on their own. Phoenix already have a plan for his short vacation, barista course. He knew Chamber is very particular about his food, always prefer homemade or gourmet. So he took the class to impress his bf. On the other side of the earth, Chamber is struggling to find something else to do, his life for the past year is filled with work and his sunshine boyfriend. now that he don't have any of them, it just make him feel a little lost. He just sat there and think about his bf who wouldn't pick up a call until he got an idea. He drives to astra's place, asking her to teach him how to take care of dreadlock hair which Astra agree to help. It was the busiest vacation they had, but seeing their significant others reaction once they show off what they've learn, all those hard work became worth it.

phoenix relationship hcs with a playful agent ? :]
Thank you for your request! I hope you enjoy!
Phoenix Relationship HC with Playful!Agent
A really, really enthusiastic duo
Would definitely play pranks on other agents. Especially on Yoru.
"Let's hide all of his hair gel."
"Bet."
The two of you gave back his hair products pretty quickly the next morning
You guys would also banter over comms during a mission before Brimstone tells you to knock it off
Once you guys are finished a super intensive, serious mission, it's back to bantering and teasing the moment you two step onto the aircraft
I personally feel like if you're feeling bummed out or just having a bad day overall, you try to hide it by making too many jokes and/or changing the topic to something else
He catches on after it happens a couple of times and does his best to comfort you
(Probably through cuddling or doing something kinda stupid)
Competitions! So many competitions! Who can shoot the most targets? Who can get to the dining hall the fastest? Who can last the longest against Max-Bot?
Amusement parks become a prime spot for them
Phoenix would try to show off and... well...
"This is for you, bruv!" He says as he tosses the basketball. And misses the hoop.
If you're not so good at those games, then the two of you have fun teasing each other through the night
Most dates would probably end on a sweet-ish note, like a tender hug or kiss

How will the agents react knowing they are in a video game? 🎮
this ones really interesting to think about but I couldn’t write a lot sorry :(
warnings: mild derealisation
valorant agents reacting to being told they’re in a video game
no one believes you at first
why would they, everything feels real to them
i think kay/o would be the only agent to believe you, but he doesn’t believe you immediately
killjoy, sage, cypher, breach, and astra get skeptical about them being in a game or not first too
brimstone, sova, reyna, and viper flat out refuse to believe you, theyre not having it
yoru, fade, jett, skye, chamber, and neon dont take you seriously, they all think youre joking or trying to freak them out
omen ignores you, doesnt bother responding
congrats, raze and phoenix are Freaked the Fuck Out

Why so shy? PART 1
Tumblr media
A/N: Hey, gays. I'm back with a new fic. I started maining Iso for a little over the week, and I can say that I'm loving him. I haven't been seeing a lot of fanfics for him, so I took it upon myself to make one. Iso might be OOC, and I gave the reader shadow abilities because I'm gay. Enjoy thirsting.
Part 1 (You are here.)
Part 2
(Iso x Shy!GN!Reader<3)
Nervous.
That's exactly what you were feeling right now.
You've heard there was a new Valorant Agent coming around, and like the others, you came to greet him with a warm welcome.
But no one really ever said that the new recruit was this attractive.
Currently, the new recruit was greeting Jett and Phoenix who came up to him first.
Meanwhile, you were practically sweating buckets and very much trembling behind Jett.
What do I do??? Should I just walk away now????????, you thought.
"Hey." A smooth sounding voice interrupts your trail of thought.
OH FUCK, you internally died.
You turn to look at the new recruit, taking in his appearance.
Black hair, purple eyes, perfect skin, beautiful lips...
"U-Uh..." You let out. What were you supposed to say to the most attractive person you've ever met????
"I'm Iso." Iso looked directly into your eyes.
"I-I'm..." You stutter, unable to process the fact that he was speaking to you and looking into your eyes.
JESUS HE'S SO ATTRACTIVE WHAT DO I DO OH GOD FUCK IM GONNA COMBUST, you thought.
"Are you alright?" Iso asked, looking concerned.
"Bro, take it easy!" Phoenix ruffles your hair with a laugh. Right, you completely forgot about them. How were you not supposed to forget? A literal angel was in front of you.
"Don't worry, they're just shy." Phoenix grins, giving Iso a thumbs-up.
"I-I'm leaving!" You quickly ran away to hide your flushed face.
IS THAT SERIOUSLY MY FIRST IMPRESSION ON HIM? I'M FUCKED, you thought as your heart raced, your mind was frantic.
You ran quickly into your room, the metal door automatically closing behind you as you pressed a button to lock it.
You jumped in bed, unable to get Iso out of your mind. I mean, how were you supposed to? He looked absolutely astonishing and attractive that you immediately froze on the spot.
How were you supposed to talk to him like this? The moment he spoke to you, your heart immediately started doing cartwheels and your stomach was filled with a whole zoo of butterflies.
Even worse, you were reminded that Brimstone assigned you for the first training with the newbie. You were absolutely fucked.
Iso was to blame for looking like that. He was too attractive and handsome and beautiful and pretty and gorgeous and charming and lovely and delightful and appealing for his own good.
Right now, all you had to do was prepare yourself for Iso.
-
Last night, you barely had enough sleep. You were mentally preparing to face Iso without stuttering and your face flushing. You can't fuck up the training either, you had to keep up appearances.
You drag yourself out of your room with a tired expression, practically looking like a zombie out and about in the hallways.
You tried fixing your appearance, you really did. After all, you still had to look good despite the lack of sleep, right?
You press the button to open the training room's door, dragging yourself in with a sigh.
"Good morning." You hear Iso's voice beside you.
"Gah!" You jump, unable to process Iso's presence so early in the morning.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you." Iso chuckles.
"N- It's fine...!" You shook your head, trying to compose yourself and prevent your face to flush.
"We didn't get to properly talk yesterday. Again, I'm Iso." Iso gave you a small smile.
"I heard about you from Brimstone. You're supposed to train me, right?" Iso continued.
"Ah-, yes. Should we start or do you want to warm up first?" You gave him a nervous smile. You tried hard not to stutter, really.
"No need. I'm really excited to see your abilities. Brimstone said that I should see for myself." Iso shook his head.
"Let's start. Grab whichever gun you feel comfortable with on the rack, and we'll start with the headshot accuracy training first." You nod, taking a Sheriff. It's one of your best picks, and you were eager to give Iso a great second impression.
Iso nods, standing beside you and taking a Vandal from the table.
TOO CLOSE HSGDGSAFDHASFD, you thought as you walked to the controller and spawning the training dummies.
"R-Right, so... For the first challenge, I need you to shoot the dummies in under 30 seconds. Try to get as much headshots as possible." You held the Sheriff tightly.
"Understood." Iso nods, getting into a stance and aiming his Vandal at the dummies, waiting for your approval to start.
"Begin." You nod to Iso, keeping an eye on his accuracy.
Iso quickly started shooting the targets, finishing them off with great accuracy and speed.
OMBSJDGJHASDG HE'S SO COOL AHSHASAHJGDS, you thought.
"Did I do good?" Iso looks at you, breaking your trail of thought.
"Oh- yes! Very good." You laugh nervously, checking your timer.
dont blush dont blush dont blush, you thought.
"You destroyed them all in 17.2 seconds, nice!" You smile, pocketing the timer.
"We can start with peer-to-peer ability counter training now... Uh, basically, we 1v1 but like... No shooting each other, haha." You smile awkwardly.
"Do we not use guns?" Iso asks.
"W-Well, we do. But we take out the ammo to prevent any friendly-fire." You look away, your face reddening slightly.
You take out the ammo from your Sheriff. Iso sees this and starts taking out the magazine and ammo out of his Vandal as well.
"A-Anyway... My abilities are shadow-related, much like Omen. We're kinda different, though." You explain.
"Back to the training at hand, I want you to try and counter me and my abilities with your own. Rest assured that I won't hurt you." You smile nervously.
"I understand. Do we start now?" Iso nods.
"Yes, let's start." You nod, standing a few meters away from him.
Iso nods, casting his ability, Contingency, to help himself push forward. He pushed through his wall, hoping to try and disarm you of your weapon.
However, when Iso lunged through his wall, you were nowhere in sight. Iso looked around swiftly, trying to discern your location. Suddenly, Iso feels the muzzle of your Sheriff behind on his nape.
"Right here, Iso." You press the muzzle of your Sheriff gently behind his neck.
"Woah..." Iso mumbles, slowly turning around with his eyes wide, like a cat.
OH FUCK DID I JUST DO THAT? ADNJGDASHGDSBDASD, you thought.
"I- Sorry! I, uh..." You quickly put away the Sheriff, your face flushing.
"How did you do that? That was amazing." Iso asks, his voice showing signs of eagerness.
OMG DID HE JUST COMPLIMENT ME? I'M DEAD, your mind raced.
"Was that one of your abilities? That was awesome." Iso continues.
"I- Y-Yes! I call that one 'Shadow Fusion'. Basically, I merge myself in any type of shadow. You have a shadow under you, so I merged myself with it." You explain, albeit nervously.
"A-Anyway... That's all for today's training. You're free to keep training, though." You nod to Iso, walking back to the table and placing the Sheriff on the table.
"Can we train together again sometime?" Iso asks.
HE WANTS TO TRAIN WITH ME AGAIN? SSGDHAFSDH, your mind raced, your face turning a light shade of red.
"Uh- Yeah! Definitely...!" You nervously nod.
"I have a mission briefing with Brimstone soon, I need to run. Uh, see you!" You came up with an excuse to leave, your mind racing with thoughts of him.
"See you soon." Iso smiles, nodding.
AAAAAAAAAAAAA, you thought as you rushed out of the training room.
That night, not once did Iso ever leave your mind.

(A/N: Hey gaymers, is this story to your liking? Requests are open to request a specific plot for PART 2. I based reader's personality here with me, because I get so shy whenever an Iso is in game with me, lol.)
