Insanity - Jinx x Male Reader

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After some rejuvenation and rest, Jinx got back to work. She did her best to try and explain it to him, but it just made no sense to him. Eventually, she just gave up and explained it in the simplest way possible. The runes create a 'math-y magic-y' gateway and that was the key in utilizing it.

She finished creating the rig for her contraption, preparing to start it up once again as she holds his hand, their fingers intertwined. Taking a deep breath in before turning the dial switch, increasing power as it stabilises.

(Y/N) looked around them as glowing blue runes floated in the air before Jinx jumps on him, hugging him cheerfully. She moves her head back and places her hands on his face, pushing her lips onto his.

His eyes widened at the sudden kiss, shocked. She lets go and grabs the glowing marble, beginning to head out. "Let's go grab a drink!"

He just stood there, dumbfounded before recomposing himself and getting off his chair, quickly catching up with her. He remained quiet while Jinx hummed a cheerful tune while walking to The Last Drop. He wasn't sure how to exactly respond or anything.

The two of them entered the bar quietly with surprisingly no one around, calming music playing in the background. Both of them sat at the barstool before she spoke up, surprising the bartender who was preoccupied with cleaning up the cups.

Jinx: "Chuck!"

Thieram: "Thieram. Uh... My name's Thieram."

Jinx rolled the glowing marble around on the table while (Y/N) was still processing what happened earlier.

Jinx: "Nice try, Chuck."

She tapped the table lightly, signalling that she wants a drink. "What's with all the hubbub?"

"Uh. Boss wants us to grab someone up." Thieram replied nervously, pouring out a cup of orange juice in her cup.

Jinx: "Someone? Anyone? Who are you grabbing?"

Thieram: "Some girls. I mean- I mean not... I'm not grabbing girls. Oh, other than the... those ones... I guess."

Jinx: "Focus. Who are they? Why wasn't either of us invited to the party?"

Thieram: "Uh, I don't know. They... they got in a fight with Sevika. They did a number on her."

"Oh really? Which number?" She asked, dropping the marble into her orange juice before taking a sip through the straw.

Thieram: "It's like a saying..."

She jumped off her seat and hugged Thieram, secretly placing a paint bomb on his back, "You're doing great Chuck! Here, for your troubles!"

Thieram hears the sound of the grenade and looks around, panicking as he sees it attached to his back. Jinx quickly grabs her drink and (Y/N), pulling him upstairs with her to Silco's office.

She placed her drink down and began looking through Silco's papers. (Y/N) looked around while she rummaged through the desk, "So... about earlier..."

"What? The kiss? Pff, it's just a... a show of appreciation, yeah!" her look changed for a moment when she replied but quickly returned back to normal. Of course, he picked up on that, "Jinx?"

"That's yours truly!"
He walked over to her, walking behind the desk, "Can I ask you something?"

Jinx: "Ask away!"

(Y/N): "What... am I to you?"

Her cheerful attitude dropped as she looked at him. She knew what to say but was afraid of doing so, afraid that what she said would end up with him leaving her.
