VALORANT: Stories

Play Date 002 (Reyna x Sage)

Play Date II

Festivities of the holidays have passed and the agents of VALORANT were once again back at headquarters. Most of them were full of energy, rearing to resume whatever duties or training they have waiting for them at the base. Some were a bit more disappointed at the end of their weeks-long vacation, but no one bothered to voice out any pleas of extending off-days. Shallow dismay aside, they were still pleased that they had a chance to de-stress in the first place.

Sage wished she could claim she was as wholly refreshed and relaxed as the others. A side of her certainly felt loose and fulfilled, while a much bigger part was feeling awfully tense and anxious towards the woman she spent the night with.

Much to Sage's surprise and dismay, Reyna didn't seek her out for the rest of the vacation period. Even when they finally stepped out of the Vulture and set foot on the hangar floor, the duelist didn't even glance at her, opting on just heading towards the main hall and to probably retire to her personal quarters.

They may have already returned to base, but their official duties were expected to be resumed first thing in the morning tomorrow.

"Reyna looks real loose, doesn't she?" Gekko's comment reached the healer's ears, piquing her interest and causing Sage to inch and trail closer to the green-haired agent. The latter was conversing with Neon and Iso, glancing between the two as he shared his observation. "Think she enjoyed herself?"

"With how much food we ate and the places we went to see, why wouldn't she?" Neon replied, every step of hers causing a small but visible spark underneath the soles of her shoes.

"The food was good, yeah, but Reyna didn't sightsee with us." Iso reminded, crossing out one part of Neon's point. "What's so exciting in a hotel room?"

"A lot." Jett abruptly joined in on the conversation by jumping between Gekko and Iso and slinging her arms over their shoulders. When all she received were confused looks from the three, she huffed and asked, "What, not a single one of you saw anything?"

"Saw what?" came the trio's chorused query.

"Reyna had some company over during the night of the party." Jett said with a giddy, little grin, shoulders slightly hunching when she looked ahead and saw that Reyna was too far from them to hear their gossiping. She seemed to be too distracted by the new workout routine Skye and Harbor were currently pitching to her at that moment.

"Ay weh?" Neon reacted with a goofy smile of her own, one that made it clear how excited she was at this juicy piece of info about her mentor. "You serious?"

Jett hummed, nodding confidently. "Totally. Phoenix and I went to get some breakfast before we toured around the hotel, and guess what? We saw Reyna having breakfast with Astra and Sova and she had on a tank top that hardly covered her back. She wasn't even trying to hide them."

"Hide what?" Gekko asked, tilting his head at Jett. There was definitely some underlying tone of excitement in his voice. Obviously, as someone who had known Reyna far longer than the others, he, too, was eager to know what's been going on with the woman, especially something as thrilling as this. "Come on, Jett. Just spill it."

"You should've seen her back! It was like, all scratched up. Y'know, in a..." Jett wiggled her eyebrows at them, which coaxed a half-disbelieving, half-amused chortle from Iso, while Gekko and Neon exchanged wide-eyed looks. "I know, right? Told you, must've been a wild night for her."

"Whoo! Didn't think Reyna had it in her." Gekko said before immediately retracting his words with a shake of his head. "Actually, no, of course she has that in her. Reyna do be wildin' out there, right, Wings?"
