Competition (Jett x Reader)

DESCRIPTION:

You and Jett have become rivals. You constantly compete whenever you have the chance.

Everyone else can see the truth: you two have major crushes on each other, you just don't know how to show it.

Thankfully, Phoenix and Yoru are willing to meddle in your love life in order to save everyone the trouble of having to watch you two helpless love birds continue to show off for each other.

Your friendship with Jett begins more like a rivalry. The two of you are in constant competition on missions, fighting to be the best. It's lighthearted for the most part, but you would be lying if you didn't think it got a little heated sometimes.

"Nice job out there, you almost caught up to me," Jett says with a smirk as all of you meet back up after the mission.

"In no way is that fair. You only got ahead because you didn't listen to Brimstone." You would have won today, but Brimstone ordered people to fall back and let the fight come to them. You weren't supposed to go out and pick fights. Jett, however, rushed in anyways and, of course, it worked out perfectly for her.

"Not my fault you agreed to fight like a coward." There's no real venom behind her words, she says it with a smile, and you know that she would rather you play safe anyways; but you still can't shake the frustration with her.

"Whatever," you relent. You'll just win next time.

You do win next time and it isn't because you don't listen to orders. You're just able to cover more ground quicker.

Jett is waiting with the group, talking to Phoenix when you all return and you're eager to wipe that smug grin off her face.

"You can't win them all, y/n, it's okay, maybe you'll come close next time," she says as you approach. Before you can even speak, Yoru is already talking behind you.

"They did win. They were ahead by fifteen."

Phoenix laughs as Jett sputters in disbelief. You aren't surprised that the others have caught on to your competitions, but you are surprised by the fact that they seem to be keeping track.

"It's okay, Jett, maybe you'll come close next time," you echo back her earlier words to her. She scoffs. You get a sense of satisfaction from watching her storm off, Phoenix running after her as he laughs.

Your competitions do not stop even when at the training range. The two of you fight against the maxbot, taking turns attempting to beat it faster than each other. So far, the two of you are tied.

Each time you watch Jett take out the bot with such elegance and ease, you feel your stomach turn in jealousy. It's like she doesn't even have to try. The way she jumps into the air and floats there like it's nothing, throwing each knife with sharp precision. How pretty she looked while fighting so effortlessly. Everything she did was so hot. It wasn't fair. Maybe it wasn't jealousy... maybe it was envy? You weren't sure, but you were certain that whatever it was, you didn't like the way it left your stomach in knots.

You ignored the warmth in your face when she left the training room, the maxbot behind her disarmed once again. You find yourself staring at her lips that are turned up into a smirk for just a moment too long.

"Do they always do this?" Yoru asks, watching the two of you take turns beating up the bot.

"All the time. Honestly, I don't know how either of them don't realize it yet. Almost everyone can tell." Phoenix answers. He's watched the two of you do this many times before, the tension growing more and more each time. Even when the two of you were out on missions, it was so glaringly obvious that the two of you were head over heels for each other.
