Day 3: asphyxiation
Couldn’t get around to drawing something for this prompt today so I decided to write for it instead.
Tw; asphyxiation and unedited work LOL
severely unedited..
Anyway 800 words below the cut.
Omega gekko meets alpha gekko.
Always the same game, fly out from base; retrieve the radianite and return home, hopefully with the team fully intact. Gekko had heard the rumours that swirled around the corridors of their headquarters, on how the others had all met the worst versions of themselves. He had yet to meet his double. He wondered how it would go, if their buddies would mingle and find comfort in knowing they were merely the same being. Maybe he could make a change– convince his other to stop everything bad he was taking hand in.
The others told him that was wishful thinking, and that they knew because they had seen first hand just how unwilling their döppelgangers were. He’d blow them off with a wave of his hand and laugh, because there was no way it was that bad.
He believed it.
Until he didn’t.
He was rarely called for anymore, something about him being in timeout after the last mission. He needed to be more careful, Sage would say, that he should stop taking such dangerous risks when it came to defusing the spike. Technically it wasn’t him who took the risks, Wingman did all the work– She didn’t like that one.
She had promised him a run if he swore to watch himself, because she couldn’t have him dying under her watch. He swore by it, a pinky swear to the lady who had saved him numerous times. He supposed he couldn’t blame her for being so worried, she cared for him. For all of them. In the way a mother would. So she let him tag along.
With music blasting into his ears he sighed into the air that tightened around him. It was quiet, well, aside from the music; it helped him focus. He sat humming along to the sweet tone of a song Iso had added into the mix on his ageing ipod, though he couldn’t quite recall the name.
Beads of sticky sweat rolled down his flushed face, grouping at the base of his chin. Warm, way too warm to be sitting around keeping guard while the others got to experience all of the fun. He was almost jealous of them. Less chance of getting injured however, he figured.
——
He wasn’t sure how long had passed since the last time Sage had radioed in, an hour or two at most he figured. But even then he could have been wrong. It’s not like he had a watch on him, despite how much the team bothered him to get one.
A force no weaker than his own pulled him from thought, or more so pushed. Leather boots stumbled from under him as he lost his footing, tumbling to the floor with a soft groan.
“Oye, Knew today would be fun.” His other purrs as he steps over Gekko’s downed body, feet placing themselves at either side of his waist. He crouches, sitting himself atop of him.
Hands that were all too familiar wormed their way around his neck, loose at first. “Waited for this day since I heard there was another me out there. You’d be surprised how easy it was to figure out the movements of your team, though I will admit it was a gamble on whether or not you’d be here..” He merely laughed, watching as omega danced under his hold.
“I-I’ve heard the stories..” Gekko whispered, fingers prying at the hold that had him captive. Stories he chose to ignore completely. He couldn’t be blamed, they were nightmarish.
Oh how he wished he had listened.
He groaned against the grip as it tightened, nails sinking into the flesh of his throat. He could feel the blood it drew, the way it rolled down the sides of his aching skin. “Oh yeah? Afraid you won’t be able to share this one. Rest of your team are dead, no more revivals this time.” He articulates, a strain in his voice.
Gekko gags, eyes wide as hands slap at the arms of his captor. The air felt toxic as the little bits he managed made it’s way into his searing lungs, burning at the flesh that was already screaming at him. He choked, gasped on the oxygen that teased him as it swirled around them.
Glassy eyes stared up at the other, desperate with beg. He could feel his throat caving in on itself, cracking under the pressure of those two hands.
“Say hello to the rest of them for me~” He purred, into the deafened ear of his double.
The feeling of his windpipe collapsing was the last thing Mateo remembered before it went dark and his fight grew limp.
It seemed their doubles were dangerous after all.
Quality Time (Gekko x Reader)
Please, someone save me from that Gekko brainrot !
I'm back with another shot. I love writing (and thinking) about him way too much.
Thousands apologies in advance to your eyes for my murderous grammar.
Eating the floor.
As figurative as this expression might be, Gekko now perfectly understood it in several different ways. Each way of how he tasted the floor had a different flavor : painful humbling, jaw fixation, flattened face, the training tatami that he accidentally licked during his degustation, his own saliva that he accidentally choked on, and maybe a bit of his own teeth. He even had a little taste of the wall.
“Stand up.”
Gekko uttered a small grunt, his face still kissing the floor as he momentarily wondered if you secretly were a sadist. He stood up and looked at you as you put your hands on your hips. You looked at him with your eyes slightly squinted and Gekko suspected that you wondered how you'd make him taste the floor again. His eyes met Wingman’s who was shaking his head and hiding his face.
“Ready ?”
He huffed. At least you warned him. He took position and waited.
How did he end up in this situation ? Well, Reyna once pointed out how hand-in-hand combat was his weakness during missions. She was unsurprisingly not wrong. Since he joined Valorant, he prioritized his aim and his stamina over anything else. And he had never been much of a fighter. The number of times he had been physically restrained by an Omega agent was quite big. So, to overcompensate his weak point, he asked you to train him. You were the best in the protocol in hand-in-hand combat.
And he wanted an excuse to be physically close to you anyway.
“Your shoulders...” You noticed. “You swim ?”
Gekko blinked before managing to dodge an attack from you. He couldn't help but feel a pang of pride when you nodded appreciatively. He heard Wingman applauding from the corner of the room.
“Actually yeah.” He answered as you paced around him like a predator. “It helped with my asthma growing up. Harbor has even been coaching me when I joined the protocol.”
You nodded and suddenly jumped on him. He squeezed his eyes shut and let out a surprised yelp as he felt his back bouncing harshly on the tatami mat. When he opened his eyes, you were staring at him intensely, your eyes squinting slightly in concentration. He then noticed that you were pinning him down. A new way of eating the ground.
“Your reflexes are weak.” You said plainly. “How did you survive until now ?”
Gekko did not find anything to answer that. The way you easily kept putting him down since the beginning of the hour said enough. Harbor also trained him with basic martial arts knowledge to be at least capable of defending himself. But against you, they seemed pretty useless. You read his movements as if they were boringly predictable — they probably were — and slow. Plus, the fact that your face was only a few inches away from his did not really help him to focus. His brain literally stopped.
“Hm. I’d be honored to give you some muscle stiffness.”
Was he intimidated ? Yes. Did he like it ? Very. Does that make him a masochist ? He wondered.
Your training was painfully effective. In only three hours, you solidified the basic knowledge in martial arts Harbor gave him and was able to dodge some of your attacks. It took him time, but after you explained to him how to read people's body movements in a way he could understand, he managed to predict some of your punches. Not all, but it was a beginning. But even though he could sometimes predict your movements, you were way too fast for his body to react in time. He swore that your kicks were deadly weapons.
Wingman brought Gekko a bottle of water while cheering as he was laid on his back on the tatami mat.
“You alive ?” You nudged his shoulder with your foot as you looked down at him.
“I’m still breathing.” He huffed as he sat up. “I think.”
He patted Wingman's head and took the bottle while looking up at you. You did not even seem tired.
“You have more stamina than I thought you’d have.”
“Thanks…?” He said while raising an eyebrow.
You tilted your head slightly then shrugged, your eyes still fixed on him. “You're very welcome.” You took a look at your watch then hummed. “I recommend you to take a warm shower, eat dinner, then to go to bed. You will suffer when you wake up.”
He was always stunned by the tone you used every time you spoke : a tone placed between an absolute neutrality, a subtle amusement and a vague boredom. And most of the time, he couldn't manage to guess what you were thinking about. He stood up and tried to stretch his arms but immediately winced when the pain started hitting.
“Yep.” You nodded without even looking at him. “A warm shower. Very warm.”
You walked out of the training room with a light step while he was dragging his feet behind you.
“Have a nice night.” You said to him as you walked away.
“Huh ? Ah thanks !”
Gekko always felt uncharacteristically shy around you. Which was quite surprising since you barely talked with him. He just admired you from afar since he joined the protocol, sometimes rambling about how he found you cool to Neon. You always intimidated him. He was so outgoing with people but with you, he became so shy. The other agents noticed it of course. How could they not ? The bubbly Gekko being suddenly so quiet in front of someone ? Of course they would notice. The teasing he received from his friends was colossal.
After a warm shower (a very warm) and a good dinner like you recommended, he let himself flop down on his bed with a tired huff. Today was the longest interaction you two had since he joined Valorant. A very painful interaction but still an interaction. A very physical and brutal interaction but still a lovely one. He reached out to you for help, advices and tools to defend himself, and you handed it to him without questioning. You did not judge him like he feared you would. After all, agents of Valorant were supposed to be the best defense of this world. He was one of these agents. He had a good aim, he had good stamina despite his asthma but he lacked hand-in-hand combat experience and knowledge which could be quite vital in some situations on the field. He didn't think low of himself. Gekko was just someone who wasn't afraid nor ashamed to acknowledge his weaknesses.
Outside of your sessions, everything sadly stayed the same between you two to Gekko’s despair. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. He thought that you grew close, but outside of the training room, you stayed distant. When he waved at you from afar, you turned your face away. When he raised his hand for a high five, you stared at him in confusion. When he handed you a weapon for a mission, you just nodded curtly. When he joined your table for lunch, you barely acknowledged his presence. Neon and Jett tried to reassure him by saying that you were like this with everyone. He knew that, but he had hoped to be an exception.
After a few weeks, he still happened to taste the floor as much as when you started to train him. Not because he was a bad learner, but because everytime he adapted to a fighting style, you switched into another. Everytime he walked out of a session with you, he felt he improved himself until the next session. It was impressive how many ways you had to beat his ass. Or to strangle him.
“I yield !” He choked out as your legs stifled him. He patted the floor to indicate he was giving up. “Air ! Air !”
You released him from your legs and let him breathe and sat up with your legs crossed, staring at him.
“You dead ?”
He coughed a little and shook his head. “Nope ! Pretty much alive !”
Wingman rushed towards him with a bottle of water as he kept coughing. He took a few sip of water then looked up at you to notice you staring at him without flinching. He cleared his throat to hide his blush under your gaze (even though he knew it was useless) and turned fully towards you.
“Why did you accept to help me ?” He asked.
“Hm ?” You tilted your head slightly.
“I mean…” Gekko nervously rubbed his neck and shot a glance at Wingman who quietly nodded to encourage him. “...we never really interacted with each other outside of missions before.”
You tilted your head to the other side. “And…?”
Your attitude reminded him a little bit of a cat : aloof but attentive.
“And despite that, you accepted right away.”
You stayed silent for a moment, squint your eyes slightly then shook your head negatively.
“I’m sorry. I don’t manage to see why this comes as a surprise.”
He looked at you with raised eyebrows. Of course he was the only one surprised here.
“We barely talked to each other yet you accepted right away. Why ?”
“Why not ?” You ask back. “You're my colleague, you asked for help and I could provide you with that help. So I did it. Why is it that surprising ?”
Gekko blinked for a second and let out a soft chuckle. Wingman looked between you two with a curious tilt of his little head. Your response was so simple that he never envisaged it. So simple that it was almost unpredictable.
“Well thanks.” He laughed gently.
“You’re very welcome.” You shrugged.
You kept staring at him with that deep (and sometimes unnerving) gaze of yours. After some time, he realized that your eyes weren't dreamy. They were intensely focused and he could see the intricate mechanisms constituting your thoughts without being able to decipher it.
“Do I have something on my face ?” He asked with a nervous chuckle.
“Freckles.” You responded simply. “And a smile completed by dimples most of the time. Why ?”
Wingman let out a few high-pitched garbled sounds that sounded like laughter. Gekko’s finger played with the bottle.
“Nothing. I just noticed that you sometimes stare at me a lot.”
“Oh.” You nodded slowly. “Sorry. I tend to stare a lot at things that fascinate me.”
If he was already slightly blushing (maybe because of the previous efforts), he was now burning red. His eyes were wide open. Wingman put his little hands over the space where his mouth would be, looking even more flabbergasted than his friend.
“Wait…what ?”
“You seem surprised again.”
He swallowed hard and took a deep breath, cleared his throat (nervously choked on his own saliva) then looked fully at you.
“Do you realize what you just said ?”
“Words ?”
Of course. He started to understand how you worked. When most people thought A, you thought Z. Still, your trail of thought stayed unpredictable.
He was about to say something when his phone suddenly buzzed. Wingman handed it to him and he quickly read the message he received.
“Shit.” He muttered. “I’ve been called for a mission.”
When he read the callsigns of his teammates, he noticed that yours wasn’t there. He sighed. It seemed like your moment together was shortened for the day. A pity, really. He liked these moments.
You nodded slowly, stood up then stretched your arms. “Come back safe.”
‘Come back safe’ ?
Gekko stood up too and walked towards the exit door, Wingman following him. “I will. See you later.”
You said nothing back. You just stared until he fully exited the room.
Your words kept looping in his head during the briefing.
The mission was the usual : eliminating Omega agents, defusing the spike then going back to base. It wasn't his first mission at Icebox, but being the Californian guy that he was, it wasn't his favorite place. The cold wind was whipping his face while the snow was burning his feet. He definitely should have chosen another pair of shoes and thicker socks. The mission was going smoothly: Jett and Phoenix were competing, Reyna was creepily laughing in the comm and Brimstone was complaining about the pain in his knees.
He sent Thrash to Jett and Phoenix because they fell in an ambush while he kept running where the spike had been spotted.
“Yo, I see the spike !” He said in the comm.
He then sent Dizzy to be sure no one was around before sending Wingman to the spike.
“My buddy is diffusing.”
Suddenly, Gekko felt the hair in his neck rising and his instinct urged him to bend down and to take a few steps aside, which he did.
“Damn.” He muttered under his breath.
His eyes immediately fell on Omega Yoru who just came out of a rift with a knife in his hand. Gekko just dodged his attack. He already had an history with this agent in particular. It wasn’t the first time that they ended up in a duel-like situation. Everytime, Yoru managed to manhandle him until Wingman stun him.
“Gekko ?” He heard Reyna in the comm. “What is happening? Where are you ?”
He took a deep breath and thought quickly. You taught him how to analyze a situation quickly and took advantage of it.
“I’m site B.” He answered.
First step : not panicking. Panic not only leads people to make rushed actions, but it also quashes your thinking capacity. In a moment of panic, your reptilian brain is the one mostly working with your adrenaline.
‘Panic and fear are not to be confused.’ You oftenly reminded him. ‘In a dangerous situation, panic could easily lead you towards a certain death while fear keeps your senses constantly alert. It makes you more aware of your surroundings. It makes you think thoroughly at different solutions in order to survive.’
You did not only make him eat the floor. You also sometimes planned some meditation sessions. Gekko loved these. It made him feel light.
Gekko calmly watched Omega Yoru walking towards him. His step was confident. He played with a butterfly knife, visibly trying to intimidate him. Gekko almost rolled his eyes.
Second step : analyzing the situation, then your options. A thing that you insisted on : weapons never only had one way of utilization.
Right now, Wingman was diffusing the spike, Omega Yoru was walking in his direction and Thrash was too far. Dizzy could only blind him for a few seconds but then what ? His weapon was empty and he would lose deadly seconds reloading it. Yoru was walking calmly but a certain tension in his step indicated that he would soon pounce. He too had not a lot of options. His teammates were falling, the spike was being diffused and more enemies would soon arrive.
Gekko mentally counted until three then Yoru attacked him with the knife like he had planned. Gekko quickly countered the attack with the barrel of his gun and swiftly kicked his joint ball, making his opponent momentarily fall on his knee with a huff of pain. Yoru seemed surprised for an instant before he stood up again. This time, he was a bit more alert.
They kept fighting for seconds that felt like hours. Gekko was glad his stamina didn't fail him. He clearly had the upper hand while Yoru’s movements became slower and his breath more erratic. He almost found this easy. Compared to yours, Yoru’s attacks were slow and easy to predict. They had strength but lacked precision.
Finding an opening, Gekko suddenly tackled his opponent in the snow. He then proceeded to press with strength the round of his shoulder in the solar plexus of the mirror agent. You once explained to him that a violent shock in this zone would make anyone go limp.
‘One could be as muscular as possible and have an iron will, once this zone is violently attacked, they would fall to the ground and gasp for air.’
Gekko felt his opponent’s strength faltering beneath him and his rage spiking. He heard Wingman’s high-pitched victorious scream and several hurried steps in his direction.
“Gekko, move !”
Recognizing Reyna’s voice, he obeyed quickly, standing up and taking a few steps back. A single shot and Yoru was now dead. Gekko let out a long sigh as Wingman and Thrash returned to him.
“You did good, you two.” He patted his radivore friends.
He then felt a friendly but strong pat in his back.
“Nice fight, mate !” Phoenix smiled. “You could almost be a duelist.”
Jett joined them then smiled mischievously at him.
“So you were actually training during these private sessions !”
Gekko cleared his throat to hide his blush but Reyna quickly cupped his face to inspect it.
“¿Estás herido?”
He shook his head and smiled to reassure her.
“I’m fine.”
Just slightly exhausted. He trained with you before this mission, after all. His muscles were sore and he was tired of the cold. His teeth were chattering and his body started to shake a little. But he tried to look fine so as not to worry her. Reyna could be quite overprotective over him.
“You did good, Gekko.”
“Gracias mi reina.”
He enjoyed the warmth of her hands on his cheeks and let out a small sigh of delight. He still couldn't feel his feet but it was a nice beginning.
“Seems like you improved some of your skills.” The Mexican duelist smiled.
Gekko felt proud at her words, his eyes twinkling in pride. He definitely had to thank you for this.
“Well, I have the best professor. Training can sometimes be brutal but I always learn something new after a session.”
Reyna raised an eyebrow but said nothing. She was already aware —like the entirety of the protocol— of his feelings for you. At first, she was quite suspicious of you, ready to pounce if you ever had the idea of using him. But once she saw the care in your eyes, she relaxed fully.
Gekko slept during the entire flight like a log. His head leaned on Reyna’s shoulder, he snored softly, his body warming up slowly. For an instant, he dreamed about his fight with the mirror agent and couldn't help but feel some pride. He took the situation calmly like you trained him for and busied while Wingman took care of the spike. For the first time since he joined the protocol, he felt like he didn't necessarily need a gun to be useful on the field.
Once the VLR/T landed, Reyna woke him up. He jolted awake under her amused gaze and quickly got off the aircraft to join the training room. He immediately found you meditating on a yoga mat. Despite his exhaustion, there was an excited skip in his steps. He quietly closed the door behind him, took a yoga mat in the back of the room, placed it in front of yours and sat on it, his legs criss-crossed. Wingman sat down next to him.
“You did come back safe.” You said without opening your eyes.
“Yep !” Gekko grinned. “And it’s all thanks to what you taught me.”
You slowly opened your eyes to look at him with a raised eyebrow. You then looked down to Wingman who waved friendly at you, nodded at him in return and looked back at Gekko.
“Care to develop ?”
He nodded excitedly and with animated hands movements (and Wingman to illustrate his words), proceeded to recount the events of his missions. Pride flooded from his voice and sparkles from his eyes. It was maybe another simple mission, another moment in the routine of being an agent of Valorant, but he felt like he surpassed himself. He rubbed his neck sheepishly after he finished his story, a proud smile on his lips.
“The student surpasses the master.” You chuckled softly. “Seems like you won't need my training anymore.”
Gekko’s smile immediately faded away at your words. He shook his head and leaned forward to catch your hand. He didn't want these private sessions to stop. These moments were way too precious for him to let them go.
“No !” He calmed down a little, noticing how his tone raised. “I mean…I’ll probably need more training. I mean, more training from you !”
Wingman nodded with energy beside him. You blinked, surprised by his sudden outburst.
“No worries. I planned to train you to fight with a knife at our next session.” You said as you patted Wingman’s head gently. “Plus, I enjoy your company anyway.”
Gekko looked at you with wide eyes. His hands subconsciously squeezed yours. Wingman’s eyes also widened in shock.
“If you enjoy my company, why do you always avoid me outside of this room ?”
You tilted your head slightly and looked at him as if the answer was obvious. “You’re always surrounded by others. I’m not really comfortable with too many people around. Even though they're close co-workers.”
“Friends.”
You raised an eyebrow at his intervention. “What ?”
“You mean friends, right ?”
You stayed silent for a few seconds and Gekko wondered why you saw the other agents under such cold eyes.
“Maybe Iso, Deadlock.” You hummed. “And you, of course.”
Gekko’s hand squeezed yours again.
“What about the others ?”
“They’re colleagues—”
“But—”
“Gekko.” You interrupted him. “They are your friends. Not mine.”
Gekko let out a huff and caressed the back of your hand with his thumb.
“And you’re okay with that ?”
Your eyes squinted a little. “Gekko, you’re a social butterfly. Being surrounded by people gives you energy. In my case, it drains me. And while people of your kind sometimes fascinate me, yes, I’m okay with that. And I’m not sad about it.”
You gently pulled your hand off his and stood up.
“Could you try understanding that for me ?”
He clenched and unclenched his now empty hand and watched you stretching your arms.
“Isn’t it cold to call others ‘co-workers’, though ?”
You momentarily paused your movements to look down at him.
“How would you call people you work with without being emotionally close ?”
Gekko stood up and started to stretch with you. “Fair point.”
You two (three, let’s not forget Wingman) kept stretching quietly for minutes. Gekko was thinking as he looked at you closely. Neon and Jett would call him desperate, Yoru and Phoenix a simp but he did not care. He was happy with the evolution of his relationship with you. It started with staring you dreamily from afar to stretch with you while sometimes exchanging simple words.
“I’d like to thank you.” He suddenly said.
“You don’t owe me anything.” You lowered your arms and started to stretch your back. “But I’m starting to know you. You’re stubborn and you’ll do it anyway.”
Gekko grinned widely, his eyes filled with joy. “Yep. That’s me. And I’d like to ask you on a date.”
You stopped your movements and raised an eyebrow. “A date ?”
“Yeah. As a thank for all the, you know, the training. For teaching me your techniques, your knowledge and all that. Even if that was goddamn painful at first.”
“And that's not painful anymore ?”
Gekko paused for a moment then nodded, chuckling softly.
“Okay.” He huffed. “It’s still goddamn painful. But still. I’d like to thank you.”
“With a date ?”
“With a date.” He nodded. “You enjoy my company, right ?”
“Are you sure you want a date with me as a ‘thank you’ ?”
A sudden blush dusted his cheeks but his smile remained.
“Let’s say it's one of the reasons.”
Wingman was watching the interaction with an entertained eye.
“And could you do me the honor of telling me another reason ?”
You stopped stretching to stand straight. Gekko did the same, his smile still present.
“I like you.”
“Well you’re a masochist.”
The laugh that bursts out of Gekko's mouth was booming and shaking his body, loud enough to reverberate against the wall of the room and probably make anyone passing by the door jump in surprise. You watched him calmly as his laugh slowly faded. Wingman tossed a bottle of water at you and you took a few gulps and thanked him.
“Masochist with a loose screw, I see.” You hummed.
“I’ll take it.” He snorted. “So, what do you say ? Will you go on a date with me ?”
You took a few other gulps of water, your eyes still on him. He waited for what seemed like long minutes. Was he being too bold ? He liked spending time with you but he only had the training sessions. A date would be the perfect occasion to know you better.
“Why not ?” You finally said. “But don’t go thinking I’ll be softer during your training.”
Wingman jumped and chirped in joy, making Gekko chuckle again.
“I'm counting on it !” He said with cheeky grin. “I’m a masochist, remember ?”
You snorted and exited the room.
Gekko hadn’t felt this proud in a long time. First, the mission, now you accepting to go on a date with him. Even though he was certain his friends will tease him, nothing could stop the joy that filled him at the moment. His smile was wide, his pupil dilated. You noticed that, of course. The excitement he tried so hard to hide didn't go unnoticed. You were fine with it, though. You found Gekko fascinating. Predictable at some moment, but fascinating. His company was enjoyable and warm.
However, the evolution of your relationship with Gekko will be far from predictable in your eyes, but so enjoyable.
I really don't know how to write an ending that could satisfy me. It's like a curse that I have: the beginning is easy but never the end.
At the beginning, my brain goes like 'DO IT' but at the end it goes like 'Nah'.
Anecdote : I've practiced several martial arts since I was a kid. It's like a thing with my mother and each one of her children. (“As long as I am your mother, you, my child, will never be a prey.”— my mom) And as a martial artist, I can tell you that a violent shock to your solar plexus is not only painful, but it also desactivate automatically your capacity to stand on your feet. Your body just goes 'nope !'. The first time I received a hit on the solar plexus, I almost choked on my mouth guard and hurt my leg during the fall 🥲. Did it discourage me from practicing ? Nope ! But it is still a very...special memory.
Thanks again for taking the time to read until the end. I wish you a nice day/night !
"Could you give me a hug ?"
You raised your eyes from Dizzy nuzzled in your arms to look at Gekko. He was playing with Mosh who was bouncing in his hands. You looked around his room, met Wingman's eyes who shook his head, then looked back at the initiator sitting next to you.
"Huh ?"
His eyes never left yours and you noticed Mosh's focused on you.
"A hug," he repeated. "Could I have one, pretty pretty please ?"
You raised an eyebrow and kept caressing Dizzy who was slowly purring in your arms.
"We hug everytime and everyday, Mateo."
"No," he shook his head. "I always hug you and you accept it like a pet animal at the veterinary centre accept its fate."
You looked down for a second, thinking thoroughly about his words. He was right. You never initiated hugs, kisses or intimacy. You were okay with having physical contact with him and he was one of the rare people to have that right. But initiating never came to your mind.
"True," you murmured.
You looked back at him and he smiled gently at you.
"Do you wanna try ?"
His tone was warm and supportive, just like him. You nodded and settled Dizzy against the pillow of his bed. He put Mosh down, stood up and opened invitingly his arms. You looked at him and paused.
How were you supposed to initiate ? You knew you were supposed to just wrap your arms around him but where exactly ? Around his waist ? His neck ? His torso ? Were you supposed squeeze him ? If so, gently or tightly ? Were you supposed to pat his back—
"Hey," he interrupted your thoughts. "There is no good way to do it. It's just something that you do with your heart. And I know you have a big one."
You blinked and heard Wingman calling you. You looked behind and saw him hugging Thrash, as if setting an example. A small giggle escaped your lips and you stood up, looking back at Gekko. You took one nervous step towards him, as if testing the water and he just nodded, encouraging you.
You wrapped your arms around him. You didn't know in which way, and you did not care. You just pressed yourself against him. Your face hidden in his chest, your fingers clenched on his t-shirt before raising until caressing his nape.
"Am I doing good ?" you asked, your voice muffled by the fabric of his t-shirt.
"You're doing great," he murmured.
You felt him shivering against you. Your other hand gently squeezed his hip, the fabric of his t-shirt bending under your hand, the pads of your fingers grazing a bit of his skin. His chest raised shakily against your face and his breath hitched.
You looked up and saw him staring down at you. His face was red.
"Is everything alright ?" you asked.
"I'm doing perfect, cariño," he breathed out. "I should ask for a hug more often."
You took a step back but Gekko grabbed your waist.
"Your turn," he grinned. "Ready for one helluva hug ?"
Physical touch and words of affirmation were Gekko's main love languages. Hell, he was very fluent in those languages. That was something you immediately noticed when you first met him, and then later when you two started dating. He was clingy, very cuddly, and loved to cheer you up, no matter what you did. But one thing he absolutely adored, was helping you stretching your body during your workout.
"Don't you think you're taking advantage of the situation, puppy ?" you raised an eyebrow as you exhaled slowly.
He blushed slightly at the endearing pet name but grinned widely against the back of your neck.
"I'm just helping you, cariño," he replied with a mocked innocence.
He was kneeling behind you, his chest flushed against your back as he helped you pushing your torso further as you were sat in a forward fold.
"You're doing so well," he murmured against your skin and you were certain he could feel your goosebumps. "Your flexibility never stops to amaze me."
You gasped sharply when you felt him press a long but soft kiss against your neck.
"Dude !"
He leaned back, snickering mischievously as you straightened your back up. You rolled your eyes but couldn't help but feel flustered. It seemed like Gekko turned into a total flirt especially when you were stretching. You took a deep breath, laid back down on the yoga mat then raised one leg up while the other stayed flat against the floor. Gekko's pupils dilated as he looked down at you. He then helped you by pinning your resting leg against the floor with his knee and pushing the raised one further.
"Don't forget to breathe," he said gently.
Your eyes met his and you felt your pulse quickening when you saw the raw emotions in those hazel eyes that you loved so much. Only his eyes had the ability to make you feel so flustered. Only his eyes had the ability to make you feel so desired.
"You're enjoying this way more than I do," you groaned.
"You have no idea," he smiled.
Your breath hitched when he did the bold action of pressing long kisses along your ankle and your calf, his eyes closed as his face morphed into a sinful expression. He then hugged your leg against his torso and leaned it further towards your chest.
"Mateo," you scolded him sternly.
Of course, he didn't take you seriously. How could he when you were hiding your face behind your hands and turning your face away ? You could barely look into his impish eyes. You didn't even see the wicked blush spreading on his cheeks.
"You're doing so good," he murmured smoothly as he sensually caressed your leg. "Thirty seconds left."
"You bastard," you grumbled, completely flustered.
"I thought I was your puppy," he chuckled.
Random valorant agents headcanons bc I'm sleep deprived
(this means I didn't get my 12 hours of sleep today)
Brimstone
Hugest ally on the VP (which, lets be honest, doesn't mean much since they're all gay)
First person KJ came out to and he was so emotional about it
Constantly tries to get the agents to get closer or at least respect each other but after Cypher mentioned how him and Breach treat one another he gave up
Calls some agents (Viper, Sage and Killjoy) by their first names on the everyday and calls Sova, Chamber and Deadlock (the other ex militars) by their last names
I wanted to hc him an American football team but idk any💞💞💞
Viper
Brimstone and Vyse are the only ones to call her Sabine bc they know her since before the "incident"
KJ also used to call her Sabine before the VP but Viper was bitter abt agents calling her by her first name
Scared for her life of failing Reyna, not because she actually fears her, but because she actually cares about Lucia
Older sister who lost contact with her family
Aroace
Has a snake named Viper that is older than the protocol
Omen
Is annoyed by people mistaking knitting with crochet
Very kind to the younger agents
In his own way though
Killjoy
Has an older sister who doesn't talk to her since she was a teenager
HOW DOES ONE BECOME THE LEAD OF A WHOLE DIVISION ON SUCH A HUGE CORPORATION AT THE AGE OF 18???!$+2+_(not a hc, just a concern)
The fact her dad died before she was born probably has something to do with her closeness to Cypher and Brimstone
Rich af but rents an apartment with another girl and that place is absolutely precarious
Pays the rent monthly even if she doesn't spend a single night there
Has a huge lesbian flag on the living room and that has gotten her very straight roommate into delicate situations with her boyfriends
Her roommate is Brazilian from São Paulo bc I want her to
Very easily impressed by anything Raze does even if it's something she can do a thousand times better
I feel like she would main a duelist if she played val, probably Reyna or Raze
Cypher
Has a picture of his wife and kids on his bedside table
He keeps Nora's favorite clothing and his children's baby toys
Girl dad obv
Killjoy reminds him of his oldest daughter and sometimes he calls her his daughter's name
Hates kingdom but since he joined the protocol he learned how to convive with their workers, even if he doesn't like it most part of the time
Scares little kids on Roblox for fun
Wouldn't mind having a relationship with a man but after Nora he can't imagine himself in another relationship so he doesn't give it a try
(I love him and Nora😭)
Sova
Calls the other agents by their first names
Was friends with Sage since before the protocol
Recommend Sage to Brimstone
One of the only coworkers Viper enjoys the company of
Once he tried to speak Spanish to mess around with Reyna and Raze swore he was speaking Portuguese bc of the accent
Trans bc I want to project into my fav characters
Morning walks
Sage
Calls everyone by their first names
Has two younger siblings but she hasn't had notice of them since she started the monk training
Misses them
Met Skye when researching about her healing powers, Skye was doing the same
Born radiant
Great at cooking but Jett gaslit her into thinking it was bad as a joke and she still believes it
After Harbor joined the VP she got back into cooking
Lesbian bc I said so
Not much close to the other women in the protocol, only Skye, Jett, Neon and Reyna
Closer to the men on the VP (Sova, Brimstone, Cypher, Iso, Omen etc)
Doesn't have a clue of why Clove doesn't like her
Phoenix
Nerd
This man is a canon theater kid, he absolutely LOVES musicals, specially Hamilton and Jett and Raze tease him Abt being British and liking it
Bi
For some reason Jett gaslights him into thinking he's actually gay, obviously never worked
Him and Jett break up for the most ridiculous reasons, they've already broken up more times than one can count on fingers
Banned from every kitchen he steps on
Learned Korean só Jett would shut up about her being bilingual while he only spoke English
Once he let Astra undo his dreads to give him braids, it was the saddest day of his life
Raze bullies him for his style💔💔💔💞
Jett
Can cook five stars dinners but insists on eating leftovers she finds on the fridge and steals from the other agents
Doesn't dare touching Chamber's "monstrosities of dishes"
Makes people their favorite dinner and a special breakfast on their birthdays
Cooks for the whole protocol on weekends
Most my hc surround on the fact she's always eating something and was a chef😔
Gaslights everyone into believing the most random and/or stupid things and has actually convinced Gekko that dog is a common dish in east Asia
First thing she asks every east Asian she meets outside of east Asia is if they eat dog
Sage was mad at her for this
Also bi
Reyna
Actually very caring and worried for most agents
Siblings relationship with Yoru
Randomly starts speaking Spanish to Sage just to annoy her
Learned Chinese just to mess around with Sage
Lesbiana
Flirts with Breach as a joke
Iso actually believed she and Breach were a couple when he arrived
Homophobic to Raze and Killjoy
Non ironically has offered to find Raze a better girlfriend than Killjoy
Wants to be a mother but can't because of her duties and Sage doesn't like children
Raze
BRAZILIPPINES
Hugest anarcocomunist
Grafitti artist
Has sent Kingdom, Killjoy and Viper dozens of blackmails before joining the protocol
Didn't like Killjoy for her first years in the protocol

Has a younger brother who is her absolutely whole world
Capoeira.
Breach
Actually speaks Portuguese very well

Gets along well with Cypher, Harbor and Fade
Likes men and makes it everyone's business and is very annoying to homophobes about it (bi)
Has kissed Harbor once just to see the look of terror on a homophobic guy's eyes
Skye
Lesbian
Owes a personal gun that she uses to scare bigots and idiots in general
Was guilty about rejecting Yoru
Still is very close to him
Skyelock beloved
The ship name should be changed to Hiking Buddies or something
Can make a cat with her powers and it plays with Nightmare when it's starting to affect Fade too much
Closer to Fade than most agents think
Morning walks with Sova and Deadlock
Yoru
Has a huge knowledge on east Asian culture in general
Speaks ainu and a little uchinaguchi
Values culture and tradition more than his life
Constantly educating Jett on Korean traditions???
Mansplains a lot
Neon (single) teases him for being single
Has the "lesbian curse" in which every woman he likes is a lesbian and it's starting to develop into an "aroace curse"
Homophobic to Killjoy
Misogynist to Killjoy
everything you can think that is bad against Killjoy
And Reyna is with him on these
Astra
Pansexual
Nerd on physics
Knows a lot about quantum physics
That was me projecting, sorry
I need more astra content to make more headcanons 😔😔😔
Galaxsea/ astrarbor/ Neptune/ sea star
Born radiant
KAY/O
Doesn't actually have feelings, he's just programmed to make humans feel loved (besides, obviously, being a war machine)
It was a way of keeping the non radiant soldiers hopeful during the radiant war
He's a robot, of course he doesn't have feelings
Killjoy is absolutely fascinated by him and wonders if it was her who built him or at least made his project
The "hatred" he has for the radiants is also a way of keeping the non radiants feeling safe and appreciated
Sage is the exception from his radiant hatred because she's always appeared to be against Reyna's radiant dominant ideal world and he read that as a powerful ally to his cause
He's AI ofc he's gonna be a little dumb even though he's from like 2060
Chamber
I refuse to
Does he like men?
Was homophobic to Killjoy and Raze when they started dating and to Sage and Reyna
Was actually homophobic
Turned out he likes men???
I'm confused
I don't like him
Neon
BRAZILIPPINES
She probably knew Killjoy before the VP or at least heard about her not as an professional but as a person
Definitely likes women
Since she became a radiant at such a young age and os so powerful there were probably lots of accidents
Was mostly isolated from the outside for a long time before the thing that is sticked to her back was finished
That'd explain why she doesn't like making new friends, she doesn't know how to
Knows a lot of stuff involving quantum physics and science since her parents work at kingdom and she has worked with them
Fade
Constantly found sleeping on the floor
Sometimes she leaves Nightmare out of her bedroom to get a peaceful night of sleep
Goes to sleep on about the same time Skye is waking up
Fadelock goes hard too
You'll rarely see her awake but when you do she looks like she hasn't slept in a decade
Doesn't actually sleep, just take 30 min naps throughout the day
Took a while to stop calling Harbor "agent Batra" during missions
I just checked and that is lore inaccurate but idc
Likes men and women, never stopped to think of it as "oh, I'm lgbt" that's just one more small detail about her
Had a cat that her brother gave her when she was a kid, it died of kidney failure a few years before she joined realm
Harbor
History and architecture nerd
Also a philosophy enthusiast
Has a tattoo that says "Memento mori et memento vivere" and that's what caught Astra's attention at first
Him and Astra spend a lot of time just nerding around
He's very caring yet not much protective to the younger agents
Randomly throws water at people who walk by
Breach and Deadlock learned on the hardest way not to be around him with a glass of water
Calls Fade Hazel because at first he thought that was how it was and never corrected it
Older brother of two sister
Pansexual
Gekko
Grafitti artist
Is an only child but is very close to the children is his neighborhood
Gay
That guy looks so gay I'm gonna cry
Has a dog named Lizard
Him and Raze talk to each other in Spanish and Portuguese and it's an absolute nightmare for others to decifrate their alien language
Asked Sage if people actually eat dogs in Asia and was punished for a week, Reyna had lots of fun
Jett still teases him about it
She told Iso about that and every time Gekko asks him what he's eating he says it's dog
Him and Deadlock are actually chill about each other for as long as one doesn't cross the other's boundaries when it comes to his radivores
Deadlock
This woman doesn't have a drop of heterosexuality on her body
She thought she liked Iso but it turned out he was just the only one not asking her to get along with radivores and radiants
Hates when she's called by her first name
Lost contact with her family and legally got rid of her last name
Skye, Sage and Sova call her Iselin or Ise
Fadeskyelock(?)
Used to go on lots of missions involving radivores before the VP but after the polar bear she didn't trust herself near them again
Graduated in biology
She wanted to be a scientist when she was a kid
Used to be obsessed about radivores and radiance before the bear
Iso
Can't cook for his life
Used to think he liked Deadlock but it was just compulsory heterosexuality
Aroace
Not much close with most agents but Sage and Deadlock
Him and Raze are absolute nightmares to go in mission with, those mfs listent to music so loud they can't hear anything else
KJ was scared of him
Only listens to music that are on languages he doesn't speak
Raze showed him Brazilian funk and he started listening to it during missions
Clove
Don't give a shit if they're misgendered
The pet rock is to throw at those who insist that they're a woman even after they correct them
Sleeps the whole day and is awake during the whole night
Immortal, queer, sleeps during the day... Are they a vampire?!
Randomly dresses up fancy and stays on that fit for the whole day, they can be seen wearing a suit during missions in breeze
Spends all their time awake doing unproductive stuff
Vyse
Was a physicist and later got into engeneering
She can't really remember those last years before the scions took her
Was took by the scions by Omen but none of them know
Doesn't like Iso
Her and Viper used to be very close friends, their friendship cou be compared to Jett and Phoenix's, they were very spontaneous
The "incident" was something involving her but no one really remember how it was
Ace
Had a cat named Jaguar

╰┈➤ characters... .•`GEKKO´•.
˚₊·—̳͟͞͞♡ SYNOPSIS... my dating headcannons about him; what would it be like to date with him ˚₊·—̳͟͞͞♡ WORDCOUNT... 1,0k ˚₊·—̳͟͞͞♡ WARNINGS... fluff, slight nsfw (tw!), mentions of smut, boyfriend!gekko, gender neutral reader ˚₊·—̳͟͞͞♡ OTHER... reblogs, likes and requests are appreciated!
a/n:here's some headcannons of the protocol's best boy and my main main since he came out, mateo. i will call him mateo through the whole stuff bc i feel better that way. will be nsfw hcs [TW] but mostly fluff about your relationship with him and if or if not you're his 'partner' in the valorant protocol.
⋆˙.’ if you're friends with him with him, he wouldn't afraid to be clingy -not too clingy- but since he's a chill guy i think this would be his love language, even if you're just friends.
⋆˙.’ he's blind. like, he wouldn't realize if you're in love with him. if some of his friends say it to him, he might just laugh it off awkwardly; like there's no way you could fall for him.
⋆˙.’ mateo's a gentleman. in every. possible. way. he might be sometimes a little 'wild' but in the end he will help you out or protect you in any situation.
⋆˙.’ he has a lot of girl friends, -by the cause of him being so cheerful to girls and not treating them differently.-
⋆˙.’ if he has a crush on you he's very awkward about it. everyone would notice it. even you. and the worst part is that he doesn't even know about it that you see through him. he thinks that he acts naturally but no. he's total weird.
⋆˙.’ mateo will treat you differently. he would want to be with you more often, not like before that. he's gonna blush at everything what you do with or around him.
⋆˙.’ his habits will leap into your life, not as much like being in a relationship with him but it will be very noticeable.
⋆˙.’ since he doesn't recognise love, he doesn't have any ulterior motive with girl friendships.
⋆˙.’ he wants to keep you away from battles if possible but he knows it's impossible even if you're not an agent so he will teach you the basics and how to defend yourself.
⋆˙.’ mateo would show his worry for you if you get injured in a battle. he doesn't think that's a weakness and it's important to show your feelings. would always take care of your scars and help you out if needed.
⋆˙.’ if you're his significant other he would be more affectionate towards you. too much pda isn't his thing but he wouldn't be afraid to show off his girl in front of others.
⋆˙.’ like i said his love language is physical touch so he often makes sure to be close to you. it would calm him down. even if you're in the same room as him, it's more than enough for mateo.
⋆˙.’ scratches. on his back or behind his ear and he will melt like butter.
⋆˙.’ he's the golden retriever type of boyfriend.
⋆˙.’ so this man makes sure that one of his limbs or something has contact with your body in his sleep. often interlocks your fingers with his. it's like a habit he can't sleep without.
⋆˙.’ ofcourse the best is when your whole body is against his.
⋆˙.’ at the beginning of the relationship, when cuddling and spooning, you often felt the mini him poking you. he didn't knew about this until you flinched away every time and he got flustered. at that time he apologized every day because of that to which you just giggled and shook your head and he became even more red.
⋆˙.’ he's not the jealous type or he just doesn't show it that much while he's going insane in his head. this or that, no in-between.
⋆˙.’ if he's in the easy going mood he wouldn't be vocal about it in front of you but he's gonna act cold. a little reassuring and a few kisses here and there and he's as sweet as before.
⋆˙.’ on the contrary there are times when even his patience runs out. and when that happens. well. if we wanna describe it, then i would say he's still not in the menace area but he would rather fuck out his anger on you. he's not angry with you but the other guy who was hitting on you or smth, -or himself if he had a bad day and this would trigger this anger out-
⋆˙.’ couple arguments. yeah. you can't argue with him. he won't yell back most of the times so you get even more frustrated and he knows that. he's not going to raise his voice cuz he knows it's not the best feeling being yelled at. if he wants to annoy you it's enough for him to just be silent.
⋆˙.’ but when he's not in mood for that mateo's gonna sit you down on the couch or somewhere and talk it out in a calm manner. he thinks that's the best solution and not throwing around slurs he will regret later.
⋆˙.’ not a horny animal. -most of the times- so don't expect too much from him in bed. the pace and strenght depends on mood and ofcourse on you, he wouldn't do something unless both of you want it.
⋆˙.’ praises. damn he loves praises so much. he's a sucker for those. don't be afraid to give voice to it how much you love him. how good he is. he will love that and yeah at first he got embarrassed, but as time went on he learned to get used to it and now he even encourages you to let it out those sweet sounds.
⋆˙.’ will praise you too but a lil shy about his moans so usually he tries to be silent.
⋆˙.’ totally a whimper guy. believe me.
⋆˙.’ will be grabbing you around or mostly your waist to steady himself while moving.
⋆˙.’ wasn't into quickies but time is money and he can't say no to his body's desires so he had to get satisfied with those.
⋆˙.’ loves giving orals. receiving is okay too but he prefers the first. loves to please you and if he could he would stay between those soft thighs of yours all night and day long.
⋆˙.’ fav pose is prob missionary. loves seeing your face in pleasure and if he gets too embarrassed he can hide his face in the crook of your neck.
⋆˙.’ if you have the time for that, be sure that he's gonna tease the words out of you. he wants to hear exactly what you want him to do with you.
⋆˙.’ mateo can be very freaky sometimes and do questionable things even in public. like keeping his fingertips on your inner thighs under the table and we can't forget the classic dirty talk which also wasn't something that he would do at the start but he got the girlfriend effect.

Sova and chamber duet ‼️🫵🎤
➕ wingman guitar solo!! 🎸
I was inspired by @theoasiris and their cute idea that the younger agents in the protocol gifted Sova a cute owl plush. This is my interpretation of how he reacted at first when he first got it! He totally thought it was too childish for him. Despite denying that he likes it, they find him sleeping with it all the time!
(They totally sneak pictures of him sleeping with his owl plush)
