Work Text:
The drones and robots came at him from different places at once as they attacked him, His eyes observed the way they moves—already memorize their movements before he began his plan to attack, Combined attacks with his yoyo and the help of his Aero boots as he lunch to the air, Knocking all the drones with his yoyo and gasing.
Now back to the robots under him, he stepped down on one of the robots , knocking it down while his yoyo wrapped around the neck one of the robots and killed it, before attacking the other robots weak points until there's nothing left was standing infront of him.
Without he realize, he manage to finished it all within 15 seconds, the best time he had ever scored since he focused on improving both his skills and combat, A wide grin spread over his face as his eyes glued to the wide screen that showed the record of his previous training, comparing to now, it's such a significant change of time.
Slowly The light filling up the room as Ali noticed his friends was approaching him, praise was given to him for the great improvement he had. The boy himself couldn't help but felt proud for it, it means he did good and he wasn't lacking behind his friends, it encouraged him to improve more. After all that, they made their way to the Academy Lounge room, finding the rest of the Agents was there, both playing and resting.
He saw some were seated on the floor playing cards, while few was on the couch, Reading or sleeping there, example like Rudy who was with a book on his hand as he sit on a particularly couch that other agent knows it's spot that claimed by the Inviso agent. Neither did he let anyone or someone to sit there or beside him.
Seeing the newly arrived agen, Roza Invited them to played cards along, "You guys, let's come here and play cards with us" she said, the other encouraged to joined their games while they move and made space for Ali and his friend.
They all were making a circle on the floor with each person holding the cards that randomly given to them, Alicia watched them playing , refusing on join their game. Throughout the rounds, Ali feels something was off, like it feels like he was being watched by paired of eyes yet didn't know where it came from
He swear the stare feels like it could cut a hole through his head, slowly he looked up, trying to see who's this person that was watching him, his initial thought was his partner—Alicia, but the Neuro girl wasn't focused on him, instead she was really focused on the cards games herself. Not like she'd admit it. Back to the topic
Glancing up at anyone who's seated in the couch, trying to guess which one is it, Zass was all sleeping with his earphone on, Rudy was focused on reading the book on his hands, so who's been watching him since before? looking at those Agen Impor, they all were focused on their own business too, there's no way they'll watched him
a quite sigh leaving his lips, since he doesn't know who it was, might as well just ignore it. He focused back on the game and soon he forget about it. A little smirk curled on that person who's watching ali in secret, suppressing the amusement he felt while observed the cute boy continue playing cards
Sighing heavily, the tekno agent could only surrend back to another lose again, it's already 7 rounds and he kept lose. Glancing at his card, the amount of cards in his hand seems glaring back at him, 'F- Uno cards.' He though. Not to realize, hours had passed since they all started playing games, it's afternoon now, he could feel his back tired from sitting for too long on the floor.
Soon, they all grow tired on playing and began to tidy up the cards, his friends slowly stand up and streched their body, some excuse on feeling hungry and goes to cafetaria, Some were feeling sleepy and tired, and some got called on mission while the rest was neither training like Alicia who training alone or just do what they need to do such as like khai that goes to the tekno room to charge his R-O.
Now the lounge room was empty—not really, there's Ali and Rudy there, zass—who's previously asleep was nowhere to be seen too—got called on a mission. Ali's cat—Comot, who's previous sat by near the couch slowly made her way to Ali, meowed at him. A little smile press on his lips as he scratches her furs gentlely, making the feline purring in delight.
Remembered that he's not alone here, he glance up at Rudy—the Inviso agent still engrossed in reading the book in his hands, Ali could see the book nearing it's ends, damned that guy, he finished that book within hours. if it was Ali, he probably would take days maybe even weeks (not fan of reading)
seeing how focused the agent reading that book, suddenly something popped out in his mind, something that linked to the Inviso agent. He stand up from where he sat and walk over to where Rudy was seated. Stopping only few feets away, silently gathering the courage to ask ,why he feels nervous about this?
" Rudy" He called, waiting for the other person to reply, he didn't know why he held his breath- like waiting for Rudy answer seems like a deadly thing. The Inviso Agent didn't budge, neither did he answer, after few more seconds he finally glance up from the book he read to looked up at Ali.
He just stare before finally talking " hm? what" his voice low and quite, but it feels so loud, probably because it's just them two in the room now. His attention back to the book he was reading, For a moment Ali hesitate on how he should say it, 'Now or never Ali'. He reminds himself, taking a small breath as he prepared himself for his own question
" Is it— True you like Iman?" now now now he did it, he finally say it and how ali wish he could take his words back and bury himself in a hole, because he thought the question was stupid, he shouldn't question other people love life
"No." the man infront of him answer quickly , faster than before which is making Ali suprise and confused, 'No? he doesn't like Iman?' he think confusely, he feels like he cant believe his own ear
"No?" he asked, to make sure he's hearing clearly
" I advice you to go to hospital if you didn't heard what i said" Rudy answer without looking up from his book, somehow making Ali annoyed because how can in a serious moment like this (he thought) he—Rudy can just say something like that as if it's just a simple question
" i heard that!" Ali retort back with a small furrow of his eyebrow and his faces filled with displease "can you be serious? i'm asking kindly"
"hm, i see, where's the kindness?" how Ali wish he just punch Rudy in faces but he didn't.
" i guess you're just too deaf to notice it" the way Ali rolled his eyes in annoyance got Rudy attention now
" why do you care if i like Iman or not, Do you like her?" now the question was thrown back at him, making Ali stunned and he wish he could say the truth but too stubborn to admit it
" Nahhh, i don't have a feelings for her, but as her friends, i'm just trying to make sure she didn't got with the wrong person or got her heart broken " even thought deep down Ali wants that wrong person
Hearing Ali's excuse doesn't offended him, instead it's curious him as the shorter boy infront of him lying so obviously. Setting his book down as he rise up from the couch, towering over Ali who's stepped back, did he get intimidated? Rudy hope so.
crouching down a little so he's face to face with Ali, leaning so closely to the boy ear. Ali could feel Rudy warm breath against his side of face and the way his freshly, earthy, woody cologne filling his sense making his heart beating so fast that he wish Rudy didn't heard it,but oh boy—the Inviso agent heard it and it encouraged him further more
" Wrong person..? You meant to say 'me'?... i'm the wrong guy for her? but what about yourself, don't you should worried you got with 'this' wrong guy?" His words making Ali confused as he looked at him.
Rudy smiled to himself, couldn't help but let his eyes wander to the boy lips, looking both moist and soft—it's naturally pinkish color—wondering where else had that beautiful colour in the boy body, he can't think that far, not yet. he reminds himself.
Not looking up he leans closer that their nose were now brushing against each other. "...?" no words needed as Rudy silent action speak lot enough.
Ali's faces turned all red realizing what Rudy was about to do, he didn't know what to do, should he push him away or not? or maybe he wasn't meant it like that? maybe it's just Ali who feels like he's flattering himself, there's no way Rudy would want do that to him—right?
A big hand wrapped behind his back, pulling him out from his thought as Rudy now stared right to his eyes , in his gazes— there's just pure adoration ,loging, and hoping a permission to continue through this
He knew he should push him away, shouldn't break the line between right and not but how he wish for thing like this to happens, how he almost dreamed it every night for the past weeks, a small shy nod of his head, Ali give him the permission and Rudy notice it, without any second wasted, he broke the distance and captured the boy lips
'sweet' Rudy thought as he kiss Ali's lips, letting the boy to process it, if Ali's pushed him away, he'll gladly back down and respecting the boy boundaries but he hope that he didn't pushed him away.
after few seconds, Sensing the boy doesn't push him away, he press his lips more into Ali's lips, kisses and suck on gently, licking the boy lips,hoping permission again to put his tongue inside, a small gasp— (or moan) slipping out from Ali's lips, making Rudy feels like almost goes feral hearing it, he wants to hear it more.
" Ali, open your mouth" Rudy order, where the shorter one follow obediently, making him smiling in please before slip his tongue inside his mouth, he groaned at taste of Ali's mouth as he explore his mouth with his tongue
Their gasp ,moans, the rapid of their heavy breathing echoes through the empty lounge room, both of them so lost into the kiss and Rudy tighten his hold on ali's back as he pulled the shorter man more closely into one of the corner where people if they goes inside wouldn't noticed.
He had Ali in his grasp, trapped against the wall while he kissed him like a man starved. As minutes passed,the kiss deepen further more, making ali couldn't kept up with Rudy and needed air so bad, so he reach to Rudy arm, rub his thumb on the taller man arm, then tapped his fingers, sensing the signal, with great restraint and force, Rudy pulled back from the kiss with his tongue and ali tongue was linked with a thin string of their mixed saliva
In Rudy eyes, right now Ali looking so goodly fuckable with how he pant while trying to catch his breath, lips moist and swollen from the kiss, a little saliva on the corner of his lips, eyes glassy with eyebrow furrow slightly. Raising his thumb, he swipe the saliva away before slowly lowered his forehead against Ali. "how does it? does it bad?" he murmurs quitely yet gentlely to him
Looking up to meet Rudy eyes, How should he say it, it's not like the kiss was bad— no, it was great, clearly so good ontop of that he wish it could lead further more to which territory he didn't dare to cross. Despite how wrong it feels with how he just kiss his childhood rival who is also his friend now. Averting his gazes, ali lifts up both his hand to covered his faces as he answer muffledly. "no, it's good.. it's just— i didn't expect it" he said muffledly with both of his ears were turning red from shyness
" now, why did you hide it? your pretty blushing faces from me?" Rudy tease as he reach to ali wrist and gentlely pulled the hands away from his faces, showed ali blushes faces, making Rudy smiling at him. " it was good huh? i thought you might be push me or hit me or punch me for kissing you, but instead you actually enjoy it.. should i kiss you more then since it was good?"
"w what— No! y you don't need to!" Ali answer flushteredly as he kept his gazes away, making Rudy click his tongue a little, seeing Ali averted gazes, releasing his hold on one of Ali's hand before he grip the young man jaw gentlely, " eyes on me Ali. it's rude to looked away when someone is talking" he tease while leaning closer again, making Ali think that he'll be kissed again that he close his eyes
A small chuckles leaving Rudy lips, seeing Ali's reaction, "said you don't need my kiss, but here you are, looking like you expected another kisses from me " leaning down, Rudy pressed his faces to the crook of Ali's neck, nuzzling his faces to his soft skin.
Soft kisses littered across Ali's neck as Rudy press his lips into the soft skin there, making ali lost in the moments, the feeling Rudy lips against his skin making him sensitive there— " what makes you think i had feelings for iman? who told you that?" Rudy asked, literally dropped a bomb in this moment like this, but then again it was ali who started first so it's his turn now to answer
<<Flashback>>
It like usually day in Academy M.A.T.A where all the Agent was gathered up with each other's friends group, it was when Rudy, Iman, Roza And Bulat just got back from their mission and seems like there's something that happening during the mission that makes Roza clearly teased Rudy and Iman for it
'do you guys know, rudy helped iman during mission before they're so perfectly good together ' something like that where it goes to one of the gossip around the Agen for awhile while Iman was denying it all and Rudy just keep quite, if anything, he probably would kick someone if their teasing is too far,example like jet.
Ali saw nothing through it since he already asked Iman himself about what happen and she explained that it's just her making a small mistake, not focused that such like small accident where Rudy helped her happens
few days goes by like that until one day where Iman was absent, Moon— dropped bomb that Iman actually secretly liking Rudy and when Moon asked Rudy about how he feels about it, he just shrugs his shoulder like— 'up to your expectation' which is making the other Agen makes speculation about it until now still being the talk of the Agens
Hearing what Moon said making Ali secretly wonder why he feels so... uneasy, his chest tighten and he wish those weren't true, he didn't had any business to interfere or making asumption himself so he just being quite and listening to the other Agen talks while only speak up few times, neither out of curiousity or just a small chit chat. While he acted being usual, someone noticed the small shift of his behavior
" yea.. about that one where you help Iman the other day during some mission where Roza tease you bout' it for days and when iman was absent, Moon said that Iman had feelings for you while she also said that your reaction to the news like 'so? whatever you think about'.. like that" Ali explain shortly, while Rudy listening quitely and he just kept quite after Ali finished talking too
Ali's wonder if he was talked too much or his reason was just lame? while he lost in thought, Suddenly Rudy bite on the side of his neck, sucking on the biten skin there and licking it with tongue.
"akh!?! h hei!? what— was that???" He question confusely while glance down, Rudy didn't answer, he just kept quite and makes another bite to Ali's neck, making the owner of the body was gasping and whimpering for his attack on their neck
"R rudy—! s stop— ahh" Ali tried to pushed him away but the man didn't budge, instead he change side, attacking the other side of Ali's neck, biting and sucking on the sensitive skin there, making him moan for just getting biten— and littered with hickeys (he didn't notice about it yet)
After feel like hour (just some minutes), Rudy pulled back, licking his own lips as he stared at the state of Ali right now, face flush red, panting, neck littered with hickeys all over and ontop of it he didn't notice it, leaned closer, he cupped Ali's faces in his hands, pressing gentle kisses from his forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, lastly to his lips with a small hum leaving Rudy lips
" euhm.. That's not how you apologize for bitting someone elses neck" Ali said, bit confused for Rudy behavior. "I'm not apologize,not regreting it." now Rudy answer making Ali frowned, if it isn't because he's apologizing, then what? why did he suddenly kisses his faces
"you're being weird you know."
" I didn't"
" You did."
" No, i don't"
" Liar."
" Sure then, i'm a liar"
It didn't get better, instead it annoyed Ali further more, rather than continue this never ending banter, he better ask it right away, "the kiss, on face, what's that for? and reason for bitting my neck? why you do it" he asked
" No reason, just happens" Rudy answer as if what he did to him before was accident that happens, as if what he did to him didn't making his heart beating out so fastly , making him imagining how will things where after this— their relationship would grow to—
"or to reassuring someone who's clearly jealous but didn't realize it. " He added. Ali brain feels like stopped for a moments as he proces what Rudy had just said to him. "Jealous? who's jealous?" Ali asked confusely
A small squeeze can be felt on his back where Rudy hand was placed there and again, Rudy suddenly bite him now in his ear, he tried to escape from his grasp but somehow he's really trapped while Rudy attacked him with bites to his skin
"Wait—!! stop bitting me!! okay! " Ali frowned as he pushed Rudy chest away, pouting his cheek as he looked down. Feeling amused, Rudy pinch those puffed cheeks "you're jealous, admit that, the thought of me having mutual feelings with other person makes you jealous, isn't it?" Rudy tease
He clicks his tongue before leans down and whispered to Ali's ear "stop that overthinking inside your pretty little head" he said while pulling ali into his embrace, hugging the shorter man close
"let me tell you again, I don't have feelings for her and i'm not gonna reprocrated her feeling. Call me bad if you like but if the rumour about me liking other person bothered someone i like so much, i should confirm it right, if it's true or not"
" I like you Ali."
time feels like freeze at the moments as Ali listened to what Rudy said, 'he like— me?' he thought as the silence streched around then
" that was bad right? i don't know how to say about my feeling, i just wants you to know that i like you, and it's up to you if you wants to act like i never say those"
" I won't force yourself to reprocrated my feelings, seeing our circumstance which both of us a man, had feelings for you already wrong enough especially how long i've had kept it secret but i don't regret it"
"you can tell me to stop, tell me to being 'normal' and forget those feelings, but even if i did those , i can't stop the way my feelings only grew much bigger each times i was with you.. "
"i hope you won't resent me for— having these feelings "
.
.
.
.
.
No response from Ali was making him nervous despite him already thinking about doing it for so many time, already thinking about the possible reaction that might come from the boy on his embrace, he already laid his feelings bare, he didn't mind if being rejected or resent after this, atleast he's already being honest to himself
remembering how Chris scold him so much for being too cowards on his feelings and to tell Ali's how he feels. How Chris know about his feelings? the man noticed it long ago, the lingering gazes, closeness, those behavior when Ali was around was different when Rudy was with other Agen
Chris almost didn't believe it himself that the aloof, arrogant, cold and rude Rudy could had feelings for someone ontop of it that someone was the person he once resent and bully before eventually made up and being friend despite their rivaly still present
.
.
" Stupid."
.
.
Looking down, Rudy meet with the sight of Ali eyes that was glassy and tears threaten to falling down. Feeling confused and worried that he might hug him to hard, he release his hold slowly while pressed soft kisses to his faces
" Idiot, you're an Idiot, how can i resent you—"
" Ali.. you don't need to dwel on that.. i'm fine with every answer you'll give me—" Rudy words silenced when Ali suddenly pulled him for a kiss, conflicted, Rudy was about to pulled back but Ali tighten his hold on Rudy, making the man groaned into the kiss and kissing him back
Breaking the kiss, He hold ali face with both of his hand while meeting his gazes "what was that for?" Rudy asked, he don't want to hope what he thought were right but he wish it is really.
" what you think then?" A small chuckles slip from Ali's mouth as he looked up to Rudy.
Hearing Ali answer making feel things he didn't know he could feel and with that he captured the boy lips again, kissing him more deeply, a little more demanding as this one was spoke a lot more than both of them could said.
.
.
.
.
.
Their kiss was too heated that both of them forget where they were and Rudy put more marks of hickeys into Ali's neck, making the body tremble and moaned quitely, looking up to meet ali gazes, noticed that rudy was staring at him, Ali hand cupped the side of Rudy face while he leans closer and whisper the words out
" I like you too." he said
" I know.. But hearing it from your lips was lot better" Rudy replied.
Then both of them began to chucklee together, their fear actually was for nothing, if both of them knew their feelings was mutual, they would acted on it since long ago and they probably would be already dating now.
.
.
.
.
.
" Oh god—" Both Ali and Rudy startled as they heared someone voice, their head snapped to where the source of the voice was and sees both Roza and Alicia stood there, catching them both in the act, it was Roza voice
Alicia looking like she's didn't care and indifferent yet in her expression already explained that she didn't expect that both Ali and Rudy would make up in such place in the Academy, yet Ali catch Alicia gazes that said 'well done' ah, the female Agen seems like already knows about his feelings
While Roza, Rudy was clearly throwing glare at Roza, as if telling her to shut up about what she sees today and what the Neuro Agen do? she clearly dumbfounded and dread filling her as she realize her mistake for spreading those rumours about Rudy and Iman since that previous mission without knowing the relationship Rudy and Ali is having
" Alicia, You can hit me right now, because i don't know if apologize enough to mend the shit i just spread" Roza said as she grabbed Alicia arm, the owner of the body just rolled her eyes while prepared to land a punch
Ali quickly jump it before Alicia could land a punch on her own friend, and Rudy, just shaking his head..
It's gonna be a long day for sure
He knows that
but atleast, Ali was his now.
That's all mattered, For Rudy.
.
.
.
.
later that moment, Alicia points out the hickeys around Ali's neck while the culprit acted like it wasn't a problem and Ali, he's got home more earlier since he couldn't let anyone sees it especially if his uncle were around, he'll be questioned for the hickeys on his neck, so yea, the boy was clearly in trouble on how to covered the redness around his neck while trying act calm with people questioning him about it, especially his best friend, Viktor.
.
