Gun shots echoed and boomed through the battlefield. The heavy shots of a peacekeeper sounded beside the Korean man. Glancing over at his teammates beside him Ajay was patching herself up as Octavio shot over the rock they were hiding behind at one of the other five squads currently fighting. The games were coming close to an end. It had been strangely quiet the entire time but now getting to one of the last rings all the teams left were in a small space and forced to fight it out.

The one building left in the ring had a team on the second floor, one on the bottom floor, and another on the roof. There may of been even another outside of the build too. All on the one building. Their team was behind a cluster of rocks trying to hide in the little amount of cover they had. The last team he wasn’t sure where they snuck off too but they couldn’t of gone far because of the ring.

“This isn’t good.” Worried the medic out loud as she finished patching herself up. Returning Doc to her waist as she pulled up her gun. “I lost track of the other teams.” A glance at her banner card on her wrist she frowned. “Or team. One got wiped out. Only five squads left now.”

“God this is boring.” Complained the junkie to the side who just finished chunking a grenade at the team on the roof. An explosion followed soon after. He kept shooting at them before moving back behind the rock to reload his gun.

Tae Joon sighed and rolled his eyes. Of course Octavio was bored already. The man had the attention span of a gnat. Throwing his drone out he pulled his controller out of his pocket. “Getting my eyes in the sky.” He announced to his team before flying his drone around. Wanting to find where all the teams were.

The two full teams inside the building were fighting each other. The two man team on the roof was now healing from the grenade tossed at them by Octavio. But the last team was still missing. He looked all around the building, every nook and cranny he could find, all around the area where they were last seen. But he still couldn’t find them.

Deciding to EMP the three teams in the building he listened to a chorus of shields cracking and breaking. Traps and fences disappearing in an instant which made the fight escalate even more. Letting them take each other out was the best option for now. Let them kill each other off and use up their supplies, maybe even encourage the third team on top to push the two inside.

Flying his drone back over towards him a familiar ping went off in his ear. Looking over his screen his heart stopped. The last team that was missing was finally found not far from them. Wraith had her sniper pointed right at Octavio’s head where he was crouching in front of Tae Joon. The smaller man distracted entirely as he waved his hands around in front of the Korean man.

Pulling out of his drone as fast as he could Tae Joon jumped and tackled the now startled man to the ground. A boom sounded to their side and got all of them on high alert now. Luckily he made the sniper miss the man pinned down under him. He mumbled an apology to the man before turning to shoot at the woman with Ajay. Wanting to focus on the fight and not how he was on top of the man who he was growing feelings for. They quickly downed her before she could phase away and the counter on their devices went down.

“Finished off the squad.” Tae Joon stated before sighing in relief. Holding a hand out he helped Octavio up onto his feet. The daredevil seemed in a daze almost which concerned him. Did Octavio hit his head when Tae Joon tackled him? Grabbing his shoulder his concern grew more as he tried to find those stupidly pretty eyes behind those goggles.

“Ya shoulder!” Ajay’s comment brought the Koreans attention away from the man in front of him and to the now aching pain in his shoulder. The attention brought to the wound making the pain suddenly hit. Just now realizing that Wraith hadn’t missed her shot completely. She managed to break his shields with the strong sniper so the bullet grazed his shoulder. Tearing through his jacket and leaving a long, bleeding wound on his shoulder where the bullet grazed across his skin.

The medic wasted no time in treated the wound. Pulling Tae Joon away from the other man and sitting him down before going to work. The miracle medicine they had for the games quickly healed the wound though without even leaving a scar. Which he was thankful for. The pain was short lived, gone completely in the matter of seconds. Even after rolling his shoulder a few times he felt nothing.

“You didn’t have to take a bullet for me, compadre.” Came the voice of the Spaniard once Ajay finished healing him. Glancing up Tae Joon couldn’t get a good read of his emotions because of his mask and goggles but there was concern in his voice.

“It was that or having you get downed.” Tae Joon looked away from the man and to his device when the fighting in the background stopped completely. Two squads left. “We should push them before they can fully heal back up.”

“Get ya shields up first and then we will.” Sassed the medic as she tossed a battery from her backpack at the hacker.

Nodding his thanks he pulled on the top of the battery. Recharging his shields before they pushed the last team still inside. Charging the building Octavio was of course the first to rush into the building with the use of his stim shot. Gun fire starting instantly with the other two a few seconds behind.

Tae Joon could see his teammates health drop quickly on his display before swearing. Pushing himself harder he burst into the room. Raising his gun he pulled the trigger and downed one of the two enemies in the room. But he wasn’t fast enough. The other teammate kept firing at Octavio having not noticed their teammate was down and there was a new enemy in the room.

“Mierda! I’m down!” He heard the other man cry out as he fell to the ground.

An ice cold wave of controlled angry flashed through the hacker as he watched the man he cared for fall to his knees. His heart hammered in his ears before he turned and unloaded a full clip into the last person in the room. Keeping them from finishing off the smaller man. The two getting into a fire fight and exchanging bullets. His shields went down but lucky for him Octavio did some good damage on the person for him.

“I’m down too!” He heard Ajay call out over the coms. Tae Joon’s full attention on his enemy as he knocked them. Having to take a breath as he reloaded his gun. Adrenaline pumping through his veins as he moved closer to Octavio. Wanting to be close to protect him and revive him is he had a chance. Using a shield cell to heal his damaged shields he ducked behind cover.

“He is comin’ in now.” Ajay called out as he groaned.

Shit.

Just a few more seconds.

Tae Joon could hear the metallic footsteps outside the door before it was kicked open. His shield cell finishing soon as Pathfinder entered the room and focused on him. They both raised their guns and unloaded their full clip at each other.

Luck was on his side though since he had better shields than the friendly robot. His downed the robot just as his shields cracked. Defeating the last member of the team and eliminating them as he panted softly. Adrenaline buzzed in his veins as he held his gun up still. Heart thudding heavily and fast in his ears as he slowly lowered his weapon now that the threat was gone.

A long moment of silence rang in his ears before the announcer’s voice rang through the arena announcing that they had won. His heart racing still as adrenaline pumped through his veins. A grin pulling to his face at their victory as he dropped his gun to the floor. A sigh of relief leaving him as his heart continued to race. That was too close for comfort.

“That was awesome!” Shouted the man who was now on his metal feet beside him. Octavio’s arms above his head as he ran in a small circle in his excitement over their victory. Pulling his mask down a large grin spread across his face as he turned to face the Korean man. “What a rush, compadre!”

In a quick moment of celebration Tae Joon leaned in and locked lips with the shorter man. The excitement and adrenaline taking over for a moment as his feelings for the man that just nearly died in front of him overflowed. Almost instantly he could feel Octavio freeze, not moving a muscle as the taller man kissed him.

Then his own actions hit him as he quickly pulled away. Cheeks flaring a bright red as he realized in his excitement he just kissed Octavio. Tae Joon just leaned in without thinking and kissed the man... Who he had feelings for... Who didn’t know the hacker had feelings for him.

Oh no.

He started to panic as he tried to save himself from this. “Ah, sor-“ he was cut off by a smaller body being flung at him, practically tackling him. Having to wrap his arms around a slim waist to keep them from falling as he stumbled a bit from the force of Octavio throwing himself at the hacker. He didn’t have a chance to react as slender arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him back in for another kiss. Their lips meeting once more but this time it was started by Octavio himself.

This time as they kissed instead of being surprised and stiff it was hot and needy, hungry almost. Unspoken feelings that they had both kept locked away exploding and overflowing because of the sudden surprise kiss from Tae Joon.

Not resisting Tae Joon moved his lips with the Spaniard’s as they utterly devoured each other. Both men holding onto each other and pressing their bodies as close together as they could. One of Octavio’s hands gripped at Tae Joon’s jacket as the other tangled in his hair. The hacker’s own hands planted against the mans upper back to hold him flush to his chest as the other held onto the exposed span of skin on his side. The two not breaking apart as they stood in the room full of death boxes after such a close battle.

Everything that was unspoken between the two finally being expressed in their hungry kiss. How much they both desperately wanted the other. How much they cared for each other. How close of a game that was. How happy they both were to finally have this with the other.

It wasn’t till a throat cleared in the room did the two now breathless and flushed men pull away from each other enough to look over at the woman in the room. Still not letting go of each other as they clung to one another. A smirk was on Ajay’s lips as she planted her hands on her hips. “Ya couldn’t wait till we got back? And till there weren’t cameras everywhere?”

Tae Joon froze at her words as Octavio slipped from his hold. His ear burning at this point in embarrassment as a hand came up to cover his flushed face. Realizing he just made out on camera with his fellow legend. The other two smirked and laughed. Octavio didn’t seem phased at all by the thought of being on camera still while making out with the Korean man who was now extremely embarrassed over his actions. Ajay turned away and left the room, leaving the two men behind. Laughing about love birds before going outside to wait for the drop ship to come pick them up.

A small chuckle sounded beside him as Octavio leaned into him. “We can finish this later, cariño.” Octavio’s voice purred out as he pulled his mask back on. Covering the big, flirty smirk on his face that made Tae Joon melt before leaving the flustered Korean in the room to collect himself before going after the daredevil.

2, Cryptane

Close calls in the Apex games always put Tae Joon on edge. It was a dangerous bloodsport, danger was around every corner. Especially when it came to Octavio. The dare devil took so many unnecessary risks with his careless behavior. Always rushing into situations that nearly got him killed. But at the same time the same could always be said for Octavio. Nothing gave him a bigger rush in the games than when Tae Joon was in danger. They wouldn’t actually die from the games of course but the thought of his boyfriend dying always made his heart pump more than any stunt ever could.

Which lead them to now. After an intense game that they barely won by sheer luck alone they went to the Spaniard’s room. Both men keeping their composure as they separated from all the other legends. Silent but moving at a fast pace to reach the room and their little space of privacy.

The second they were behind the closed door their hands were on each other. Tae Joon wasted no time in grabbing the smaller mans hips and pulling him into an almost desperate kiss. He had seen Octavio nearly blow himself up with a careless toss of a grenade. The sight of him getting thrown back and downed still played in his head. Even if he downed the enemy it was still worrisome to see his small body go flying from the explosion.

Soft groans and grunts left them both as Tae Joon backed the smaller man up till his back was pressed to the door. The junky’s hand slid up the Korean’s chest and over his broad shoulders. Effectively pushing his jacket off that was haphazardly discarded on the floor by their feet. Slender arms wrapped around the hackers neck as one hand made its way into his hair. Octavio pulling him in more to deepen their heated kiss. Both men practically devouring each other as they shared a desperate kiss like they wouldn’t ever have a chance to feel the other ever again. Like the needed to know the other was there and safe.

“You’re an idiot.” Tae Joon breathed out softly into the others lips. Only pulling away enough to mutter the words before diving back into the man. Wrapping his arms around his waist to pull him flush against his body. Not minding how the metal disks in his stomach pressed into him. Tae Joon just needed the man as close as possible.

Their lips moved in a heated, desperate dance to have the other closer. It was hot, sloppy even. Both needing to feel close to their partner and to know they were okay. This was something they always did after such intense games like today. Desperate to feel the other. Desperate to know they were okay and safe now in their own little private bubble.

“It worked, no?” Octavio chuckled into the kiss before he started pushing the hacker back. Moving them away from the door as he lead the man deeper into his room. Their shared kiss not breaking except to speak into the other as they moved. “What about you? You nearly got finished by Revenant, mi amor.” Octavio muttered against his lips.

Remembering how they got into a close call with the simulacrum killer today wasn’t pleasant for either of them. Luckily Octavio stopped him just in time as he was about to rip Tae Joon’s throat out. But it was too close for comfort for the daredevil. For both of them.

“He’s always bloodthirsty.” Was the only weak attempt to his own defense Tae Joon could come up with.

But then the mess of Octavio’s room struck. The Korean tripped over one of the many things littering the mans floor. With a startled yelp he fell back away from his boyfriend. Luckily landing on the man’s bed which he hadn’t even noticed they were moving towards.

This however made the other man burst out into laughter. The sound echoing in the room as Tae Joon sat up on his arms. Cheeks painted red now as he gave the man a glare that didn’t affect him in the slightest. He huffed in a mix of embarrassment and irritation. But whatever negative feelings he had disappeared when the giggling man moved to sit on his lap. Leaning over as he held the Korean’s flushed face in his hands.

“Lo siento,” he chuckled before kissing the man again, “but that was too funny! You should of seen your face!” He giggled again with a large, amused grin on his face.

Tae Joon didn’t take to the teasing well as he easily and swiftly flipped them over. The junky pressed into the bed with his legs around the hackers hips now. Leaning in Tae Joon kissed the man to silence his giggling, even if he actually loved that obnoxious sound. “Clean up after your self.” He softly scolded in a whisper into his lips before returning to their heated kiss. Arms wrapped around his neck once again as he held himself up over his smaller boyfriend. His free hand rubbing down the mans side to his hip before slowly working its way back up to his ribs then repeating the process.

“Sí, sí, I will.” Octavio smiled into the kiss as he kissed the man above him. Happy to have him safe and sound in his arms once again. “Te amo, mi amor.”

A soft hummed out sound of content left the Korean. “ 나도 사랑해, 바보,” he kissed the man again before translating, “I love you too, idiot.” Grinning the Spaniard pulled the Korean into another heated, loving kiss. The two getting lost in each other once more.

5, Cryptage

It had been a long day for the hacker. With the tiring games, dealing with the press afterwards, the long hours working away at his computer hacking and coding for hours on end made sure that Tae Joon was tired. He didn’t even realize how long his day was till he finally sat back in his chair. A groan leaving the man as he stretched his arms over his head, getting a satisfying crack from his stiff joints. Glancing over at the clock that read 2:03 in the morning the Korean groaned. This was a normal time for him to be up and about but usually not on the nights he played in the games. Those nights he usually retired for the night sooner.

Then to top it off he skipped dinner too because he was so focused on his hacking. He was getting some good progress so he got sucked in. But now Tae Joon didn’t even have the energy to press a single key on his keyboard.

Getting up he stood up with a loud pop coming from his back. It hurt for a moment before he grunted in relief. His stomach growling and demanding food as he left his private room in the compound building they had to now share on Talos.

It was dead silent as he quietly made his way through the building. Going to the large kitchen that everyone used he went straight to the pantry. Grabbing a package of instant noodles he went through the motions of making it. His brain half dead from how tired he was. A yawn left the man as he lazily scratched his stomach. The baggy sweat shirt he wore pulling up with his hand.

The quiet creek of the kitchen door got his attention. Lazily he looked over to see the intruder. Elliot stood there, frozen in his spot and wide eyed. Obviously surprised to see the other man there already.

“Oh, uh... hi?” He chuckled awkwardly, a tired quietness to his voice. Both from the late hour and him not wanting to be loud so late. “What are you uh, doing here?” The man questioned as he approached the man. The only light in the room was the warm yellow light above the stove where his noodles were cooking. Illuminating the man in a warm glow as he approached.

Tae Joon just blinked at the man before looking at his food. Returning his gaze to the man he quirked a brow. “Food... why are you still up?”

“Oh! I was just getting a drink.” That familiar charming smile pulled onto Elliot’s face. The other mans gaze looked over Tae Joon. Taking in his baggy sweat shirt, comfortable pajama like pants and bare feet. A look not common for the man. It was rare to find the Korean in such casual or comfortable clothing.

Focusing on his food Tae Joon used the pair of chop sticks he had to carefully stir his food. Ignoring the look over he was getting. Wouldn’t be the first time from the man nor the last. Especially since they had this... fling going on. The Korean didn’t really know how to describe it. It was more or less a hook up with a repeat performance. Not that he would openly admit it but he didn’t mind those times he spent with the trickster.

After being on the run for so long Tae Joon was extremely touch starved. So when they first got together it wasn’t planned but it was such a relief to all of his needs.

Elliot had tackled him to protect him from getting shot during a game. Effectively pinning him to the group for a moment til lineup had to get up and return fire. That was what started it. Each touch kept building up over a long, pinning week till they finally ended up sucking each other’s faces off and then some.

“Ya in there?” A hand waving in front of his face drew the Korean from his thoughts. Glancing up he met worried, warm brown eyes. Even in the dim lighting he could still see how pretty the mans eyes were. “You have been staring at your noodles for a solid minute. Like I counted, was actually a minute.”

A soft sigh left the man as he moved to the side. Almost hyper aware of Elliot and how close he was. It had been over a month since they last did anything. Which left Tae Joon feeling needy. The closeness set his stomach in an eager flutter.

“I’m fine.” Was the simple reply that left him as he leaned against the counter. Crossing his arms over his chest. Fighting down his own urges as he let out a soft yawn.

However his attempt to distance himself from the attractive man was futile as Elliot moved to stand in front of him. So close to him they were nearly touching. A tired look was pulled to his face as he held his composure. Not letting his excitement to have the man so close slip through. Elliot had a small flirty, knowing grin on his face. “Well if you’re hungry,” large warm hands moved to his hips, “I can give you something to eat.”

Rolling his eyes Tae Joon sighed but didn’t push the man away. “Idiot.” He drawled out slowly. His tired but eager gaze locking with Elliot’s equally eager gaze. They shared a look for a long moment as they searched each other’s eyes. Which was all the invitation the man needed to move closer to the Korean. His face close enough that Tae Joon could feel his breath against his face.

“Ya know you like it,” teased the man before he closed the distance between them. The soft kiss made Tae Joon melt into it almost instantly. Elliot took the lead as he kissed the Korean man. His lips easily falling into a comfortable pace with the tired man. It was slow, lazy almost, but heated and needy on both of their ends. One of the hacker’s hands slid up the man’s board chest and up around his neck. The other traced down his side slowly before resting on his hip.

Elliot let out a soft grunt against the Koreans lips before pressing their bodies closer. The kiss getting heated more and more the longer they stand pressed against each other. The tilt of his head deepened their kiss. Elliot half pressed Tae Joon into the counter as he pressed into his warm body.

Warm fingers slipped under the baggy hoody Tae Joon wore as Elliot’s hand moved around his hips to his back. Gently tracing circles into the now exposed skin there. A soft gasp left the man as his back arched from the sudden touch. The skin to skin contact affecting him almost instantly. His need just as obvious as just how touch starved he was again. A warmth blooming over his cheeks as he broke the kiss. Elliot not stopping for a second as the Korean pressed into him. Skilled fingers caressing his back with a smirk pulled to his lips.

An amused chuckle left him as he smirked. “Reminds me of the first time we did this. So needy~,” he teased. Which he got smacked for. Tae Joon flushed as he pushed the man back. Turning away as a new found energy built up inside of his tired body.

“Let me eat first, idiot.” Rolling his eyes he turned back to his noodles. Though he now had different plans for his night after he finished eating. The man now kissing the back of his neck and holding him from behind had everything to do with it too.
