Pride - Chamber x fem!Reader [Valorant]

16 - Mind Game

"[A/n]! There you are!" exclaimed Killjoy as she spotted her friend in the cafeteria. "I looked for you everywhere this morning."

She turned to the German engineer and chuckled awkwardly. "Sorry, I had a hard time waking up early this morning."

She raised an eyebrow. "Did you sleep well or did you just stay up late with Chamber?" she asked, bluntly.

[A/n] flushed, extending a hand to cover her friend's mouth. "What are you saying out loud?!" she whisper-yelled.

Killjoy pushed her hand away, revealing her shocked face. "So it's true?!"

She frowned, slapping her friend's shoulder. "Shut your mouth!" Her face turned red from embarrassment as she did not stop talking about it.

"So you two are finally a thing?!" she kept on going, both excited and surprised. "Isn't that guy an asshole?"

She nodded. "He sure is," she agreed, not caring about calling her boyfriend names. "But, you know, things happen."

Killjoy held both her shoulders with a determined look. "Are you sure he's not just doing it for his own sake?"

The camouflage agent pondered for a moment. After their sincere conversation this morning, she believed in him and his sincerity about his intention and their relationship. There was no way the way he stared at her lovingly was a lie. "Trust me, it's all good." She gave a reassuring smile. Her friend seemed to relax a bit. "Though, he'll still be a little asshole for trying to manipulate me."

Killjoy's eyes widened as [A/n] finished talking. The latter frowned as she could not understand her friend's reaction. It was not the first time they insulted the French man behind his back so why would she act all surprised? "Who is a little asshole?" 

[F/n] jumped at the sound of a familiar voice behind her. Sweats ran down her forehead as she quickly glanced over her shoulder without turning around to confirm that he was there behind her. She saw part of his arms, crossed against his strong chest. She closed her eyes, trying to compose herself, knowing the pissed expression he must be wearing at the moment. Putting on her sweetest smile, she turned her heels and waved at him.

"Ah, Chamber! The man I was looking for! We need to work, right? Let's go!" she blabbered, trying to distract his mind so he would forget. She put her hands around one of his crossed arms and led him out.

He leaned down to her ear, his smile falling for a moment. "Don't think I forgot."

She looked away, shutting her mouth tight, nervously. She was a dead woman. "Ah, wait, [A/n]!" Killjoy called for her. A savior! "The new agent is here today, you should go see her."

"Oh, yes! I never got the chance to meet her. Neon, was it?"

Killjoy nodded with a smile. "She should be around the HQ somewhere. Chamber knows her so he can help you."

[F/n] looked up at her partner who looked slightly nervous. "I didn't know you knew Neon! You should have told me, I would have loved to meet her before!"

"Well," Vincent started, adjusting his tie, before they both headed out of the cafeteria, waving back at Killjoy, "we do not have the best kind of relationship."

"What do you mean?"

"She hates me."

The female agent laughed, leaning her head against his broad shoulder. "Don't everyone hate you?"

He rolled his eyes but could not argue back. "I tried to make amends but she just tries to zap me every time she sees me."

She laughed again, her hand traveling from his arm to his hand. Chamber looked down at their linked hands and smiled. "She looks like an interesting person!"
