VALORANT: Stories

Type of Romance (Viper x Killjoy)

Type of Romance

Sun shining warmly and bright, the sky showed not a single cloud in sight. The day was perfect for any possible outdoor activity. Even those who were at VALORANT headquarters were either relaxing out on the grass or a bench, or were just doing what they usually do while they enjoyed the pleasant weather.

At the outdoor training area exclusive for the special agents, several of the latter could be found tinkering and training with their equipment.

The whooshing sound of air could be heard as Jett dashed over a stack of crates and weaved through swinging barrels with absolute confidence and ease. Watching from the sidelines, Sage and Raze could be found either clapping or cheering the fleet-footed duelist.

It was no secret to anyone that Jett had become an attention-seeker more than before ever since Reyna joined their ranks due to the healer they all know and love.

The aforementioned vixen, Reyna, didn't hide how she usually flirted with their fellow agents, most especially Sage. Everyone already came to a conclusion that she was just a natural flirt and would tease whichever agent that captures her eyes for the day. But, they're all agents for a reason and their observation skills were one of those.

Everyone was more than fully aware that Reyna took a much bigger interest in Sage compared to others. The only one oblivious of it was the healer herself. Heck, Sage was also clueless about Jett's advances on her.

Sage had caught Jett's eye ever since they were introduced to one another and was put together for a mission. Ever since that operation, Jett had been trying her hardest to impress and capture Sage's own interest. Unfortunately for her, Reyna was putting up more than just a little competition.

That, and Raze was always there to egg them both on whenever they had their spats.

"One day, that girl's surely going to get a bone broken or two." Cypher said with a little chuckle, his gaze flicking from the camera he was fixing to the agent leaning against the tree behind him. It was Omen, and he was jadedly watching the spectacle Jett was making of herself.

"I wouldn't be surprised if she did."

"Well, well, well, you actually said something." Cypher commented, seemingly surprised that Omen had provided a reply. He and him may always idle at the same location, but rarely did Omen actually give any form of response other than a grunt.

Instead of acknowledging what Cypher had said, Omen merely rolled his eyes and muttered, "Same tricks, same moves, absolutely no thrill. If she truly aims to capture Sage's attention, she should choose an approach that's less conceited yet protrusive."

"Oh?" Now Cypher's attention was truly captured by his company. He laid his camera down and looked over his shoulder, quirking an eyebrow at his fellow agent. "I didn't know you are an expert in the romance department, Omen. This is certainly news."

Omen grunted, suppressing the urge to roll his eyes again. "I'm not."

"That's not what the other soldiers say." A deep and gruff voice piped in, prompting the two to turn and face the newly-arrived speaker. They both found Brimstone walking towards them, a knowing look on his face.

"Ah, Brimstone, my friend. Always a pleasure to see you." Cypher greeted with a small smile and nod. "And pardon me, but what do the others say?"

"Rumour has it, Omen here is actually the reason why the new kid's close to our snake lady."

Cypher's eyes widened slightly in surprise, an amused look on his face. "Those rumours? I thought those were absolutely fabricated."
