“Illyana can you stand still so I can heal you, if you keep dashing away to places I can’t reach you then you’re going to get killed!!”
Seol had angrily shouted while skating past the next corner only for the Mutant to continue forward and out of her range.
“They can’t kill queen of Limbo! I’m basically untouchable with my abilities, calm down!”
Shortly summoning a demon in front of her and slashing away with soul sword towards her foe. “I’ll stab my sword into every soul that stands in front of my path!”
Was the last few word she had said before pushing too far and getting eliminated.
Seol shook her head in disbelief at her ignorance and waited for her return.
“Can you just stay close by me? I’m having trouble when there’s others trying to get a pick off me back here.”
“Pshh c’mon I want a few picks myself” Her Russian accent Seol found so adoring seeping through her lips just a little bit.
Firmly stopping in front of Illyana to stop her from going anywhere past the back line, her ice cold palm planted on a warm burning chest.
“You are really close to going negative in your stats, play smart or don’t play at all.”
Being faced with no resistance Seol dropped her hand and turned back around to her teammates to heal them, hearing soft footsteps behind her as Illyana paced back and forth watching the match go down.
“I could easily pick off Tandy right there…”
Whispering over Seol’s shoulder and pointing to the bright figure that was backed against the farthest wall away from her team.
“Illyana just focus on me and don’t rush off anywhere, I’m assuming the other team is going to poke around the tanks and focus me when the team isn’t going down.”
Having to turn her head back and forth to ensure she still had her back covered.
Yes she was more paranoid more than ever after being targeted match after match and Magik off in her own world chasing fliers, squishes, and anything she could kill.
“Sure I can focus on you, I mean who isn’t?”
The sound of a metal sword being pierced into the ground and next the feeling of warm hands planted on her waist, rough and firm that felt all too familiar to Seol.
“Just give me your snowflake and I think I’ll do just fine, that flying squish doesn’t need it just look at him with his extra shields.”
Pointing up at Johnny who she despised in every way, he deserved to get picked off due to how many times he’s hit on Seol back at spawn.
“Fliers can’t just come down and grab health packs Illyana, you can with your mobility-“
Feeling the air shake and seeing a purple spear plummet into the ground right beside her feet knowing a painful dash was next.
Which the dash didn’t come at all, the black panther was hesitant after noticing the queen of limbo focus in on him and opted for a different support to poke at.
“Could you not like maybe freeze him? Or better yet create an ice sword and just stab him when he attacks” Returning back to Luna and continuing to pace behind her, not missing the chance to admire her healer while she was busy working.
“You do know I can’t just throw around ice balls and freeze everyone, I have one chance to hit the Black panther and if I miss I’m dead and if I do hit him…”
A little silence as she drifted off on what she was saying, trying to focus on keeping the frontline alive steadying her aim.
“Well he just moves too much for me to actually hit a freeze on him… I’d just prefer you to be here when I need you.”
“And you don’t need me right now so I’ll be going!” Quickly leaving a peck on Seol’s cheek and disappearing into her portal to limbo, few moments later Luna glanced up at the kill feed and confirmed the other team was down two healers and soon went down those enemy Vanguards.
A portal opened beside the vehicle they were transporting and Magik sit down lazily on the Chariot, the goats paying almost no mind and continuing on.
“Boo hoo, poor supports couldn’t run away fast enough and got themselves killed.”
Taking the time to wipe off her sword and look around at her team, two people just coming back from spawn and rejoining soon.
“C’mon popstar we need to push up a little more, the other team is expecting me soon.” That wide sadistic smile appeared on her face as she continued on forward and disappeared out of battle, Luna waited a moment and looked up at the kill feed to indeed see the other team was in-fact waiting for her, Magik was eliminated when a tank actually peeled.
“Illyana! I said not too far and you went in the center of their team?” It seemed like she was the only healer doing anything, where even was Jeff?
When their team got the moment to rest and just sit, Luna looked around saw Jeff on the edge of the map just bouncing around.
He probably made another Jeff friend and were making bubbles like every other time they ran into another Land Shark.
“At least we are almost to the finish, just about a few more meters and we’re there..” Magik once again ecstatically hovered over Luna’s shoulder and practically purred in her ear.
It was like a switch between them, one second there is tension going on between them and the next they are yelling how the match isn’t going well at each other.
“I’m overheating a little Luna, maybe you should came back to my place and cool me down after this round? Just for a little bit?”
“You know what, yes I will. If we actually win this match for once so go do something!!” Hurriedly pushing Illyana to the side to both hide the pink spreading across her cheek bones and to keep her Vanguards alive.
The rest of the match went smoothly and a grumpy Strange getting MVP, their stats were overall great and their usual portals that opened after each match appeared in front of them.
Luna ignoring hers and turning to join Illyana through hers, her other teammates didn’t really pay attention too busy wanting to leave and rest after that long match.
Stepping into the very familiar room that was always warm no matter the season, very much like the mutant herself.
“How is Lockheed doing? Haven’t heard much since we’re always off topic about something else.”
Seol sat herself comfortably on the two seated couch that was obviously from Stephen, she remembered seeing the same ones in the Sanctum Sanctorum.
“I’ve been letting Pryde watch him for a while now actually since I’ve been getting selected more often to go out on missions, I’ve heard he’s doing alright.”
Illyana offered something sweet like she always did when she was over, the bowl of various candies sat on a coffee table and was almost empty from the last time Seol had saw it.
The thought of buying new candies for Illyana to try had crossed her mind again.
“You have any mints? Shouldn’t be kissing your pretty face with my morning breath.”
Seol enjoyed it being just the two of them, able to say what she thought around the Mutant and see her compose herself while handing a few mints to her.
They were both unsure of what they were, really great friends? Friends don’t usually have little make out sessions sometimes after rough days.. do they?
The tenderness and longing in Illyana eyes said she wanted more but unsure on how to achieve it, they both needed a little push in the right direction.
“You going to kiss me or not?”
The tension only grew with that following sentence until Seol stood up to the blonde’s level and slowly let their lips meet, the cool mint against warm sweetness slowly softened the air.
The mutant brought her arms around the popstar and settled them on her hips, in return arms reached around her neck and deepened their kiss.
Room felt even hotter than it was before and really the flame emitting from Illyana wasn’t helping.
“Mhmm you and your pop-star charisma..”
The mutant muttered lovingly into the cold skin and followed lower to kiss down her neck, being met with that white choker that got in her way.
Instead she just kissed around it, understanding it was a part of Seol since she was never seen without it.
Kisses soon turning into playful bites and nibbles that got Luna giggling into blonde hair, her teeth were definitely more sharper than she thought.
“What are we Seol?”
Bites returned back into something softer while they just rested holding each other, both lost in that simple question.
“We can be more than just companions if you want Seol.” Her grip tightened on that slim waist and dark painted nails dug down, Illyana was more confident with what she wanted after feeling what she could have.
She wanted Seol Hee.
No response came except the feeling of hands running through the Russians hair and tucking it behind her ear, going to her face and cupping her cheek.
“I could say the same to you.”
Gently Luna had pulled Magik’s face up for another sweet kiss filled with tender smiles, this close they could each admire such features others wouldn’t notice.
“Wow you really do taste like sugar, it’s like eating a candy bar.”
Seol licked at her lips and suppressed a giggle at her own use of a simile.
She really did taste like candy though, the amount a sugar Illyana likes to consume a day is crazy but she can’t help it she has a sweet-tooth.
The singer just couldn’t stop smiling from how soft the moment felt.
“Hmm, we should try this pastry shop sometimes that makes heavenly pancakes, different kinds too I think you’d love it.” Leaning up to press a firm cold kiss on the bridge of her nose.
For the rest of the day they were unbothered as if they were given time to just bask in each-other’s presence. It’s probably been the longest time out of battle for them and it was enjoyable, it did have to come to an end soon.
Messy kisses being exchanged on the couch and Seol’s mint somehow ending up in Illyana’s mouth, it was both soft and touch interactions between them.
Cute gentle caress of kisses and the next a harsh rough bite that was able to break skin if it wasn’t for the choker in the way.
The aftermath was Luna was flowered in blues and purple teeth indents reaching her breasts and Magik content on being able to try another type of candy she’s been admiring on stage.
“Sorry… I left a little.. or a few marks”
The mutant huffed between slow breaths.
The other didn’t seem to really mind and just sighed at it, they both lie on the couch with Luna under the larger woman enjoying herself.
“I can heal them with my light ice.. leave as much as you like.” The feeling of cold air surrounded her hands that were wrapped around blonde hair and landed on the demon queens skin it cooled them both down.
The sound of mechanical whirring a few feet away had their attention redirected and Magik instantly stood up, sparks formed in the air and a portal open in front of them which open to a entirely different room.
“Luna I request your appearance for this match if you aren’t busy at the moment.”
Stephen’s voice was on the other side and sounded almost desperate noting his rustled up hair and dirty appearance.
“I really was going to hold off requesting you but our current problem needs someone better than Jeff.” The last part was hushed but there a saddened ‘Mrrrr’ that followed up behind.
“I do apologize Jeffrey.”
Luna in a hurry tried her best to look presentable and a hand covered a her neck radiating rime and when she let go it looked like it was never even touched. That both amazed and upset the mutant.
“I donno we’re kinda busy here Strange.”
The annoyance was clear in her voice and the way Stephen look confused showed he didn’t even notice Illyana was there.
It clicked for him and he quickly turned and muttered said he could call upon Tandy, another apology followed and the portal closed behind his back.
“Ah I was going to go fill in for them.”
Her skin was still steaming cold air from her healing that ran down her body.
“You’re busy although so I declined, he got Dagger to cover it so that’s that.” Staring at where the portal once was she turned back to Seol.
“So I guess there was need to clean myself up huh?” Running her hands through her short two colored hair nervously and rested them on her hips.
“Guess not, isn’t there a way he can just call you instead? Those portals are an invasion of privacy sometimes.”
“I’ve never even seen him with a phone ever, he just uses his portals for calls I assume.”
A sigh came outta Seol and she turned to walk to the others room, the clock read past six which wasn’t a time Luna usually slept but it would do.
“You tired? I am already”
Turning to disappear in her room, Illyana could hear her own sheets being rustled like an invite.
She eagerly followed behind.
“Coming”
They both ended up wrapped together legs entangled and hair spread across the pillows. Took them awhile to actually sleep due to one person being a little extra touchy but they soon did, a perfect equivalent of hot and cold complimenting each other.
