Work Text:
It was simply a nice day in the fire kingdom, Ikor was reading in the library (surprised they had one), Aoky was peacefully meditating, Trek was happily tasting Fire Kingdom cuisine, Eron was wandering around the lava pits, and Riff was reaching out to some old friends.
«Can't believe you're a guardian now!» said the guy standing right beside Riff, an old friend of his «I know, it's crazy! But I love it!». Without noticing, the two walked beside the open doors of the library, where a certain book worm, curious about Firie culture, heard his boyfriend talking too happily with another guy.
Without even closing the book, Ikor got up from the spot he sat at and hurried to the door, seeing Riff walking and chatting with an older guy. He had this crazy red Mohawk and was taller and buffer than both of them. He was definitely not an ugly guy.
«What'ya doin?» said Alex, who spawned right out of existence right there and then. Ikor jumped back, and in shock looked at the half Darkan standing right behind the iron doors «what the fuck, Alex!?».
They just stared at each other for a few seconds, before Alex looked at Riff and his friend «damn, that's a hot guy for sure» said Alex in a neutral tone, that sent Ikor in confusion «didn't you like women???» and they answered with a simple "yeah".
Riff and his friend turned and disappeared behind a wall, and Ikor could feel Alex's question already coming out.
«Jealous?»
He shouted a "no" before going back to his studies, but couldn't concentrate with the thought of Riff being so friendly with a sexy older guy of his same tribe. It was obvious he was looking at Riff like you look at a cake when hungry for sweets, and Ikor hated it.
Unable to think about anything else, it took him a good five minutes before getting up and following right after Riff and his friend. He reached Riff's bedroom, and hear chuckling from inside.
He couldn't let that hot guy take his boyfriend, never. He walked in like he owed the place, like he owed the person owing the place (which was kinda true) and saw Riff sitting on his bed, while the other guy was sitting on a chair, as they chatted.
The conversation immediatamente stopped, and Riff could only smile «Akross, this is my boyfriend, Ikor!» he said to the guy seemingly named Akross. Ikor puffed out his chest, proud of the title of Riff's boyfriend.
«Hi Ikor, nice to meet you» said Akross, getting up from the chair and shaking Ikor's hand «I've heard a lot about you» he said, looking down at the ice prince «and I have heard nothing about you» he answered spitefully.
It went right over both their heads, and Riff jumped off his bed, while Akross raised an eyebrow «really? That's weird, I thought he would have mentioned his gay awakening!» he said loudly, obviously teasing Riff.
Ikor could only freeze. Pun intended. He looked at Akross and sighed «I see» but before he could turn around and leave the lovebirds alone, the Firie spoke up again «sadly, I'm painfully straight, but I'm glad he found someone of his league».
That made Ikor feel a little better, and so he chuckled at the joke. «Alright guys, I better go now, see you soon» said Akross while walking through the door, leaving the real lovebirds alone.
The two stared at each other for what felt an eternity, just being there with the other, it was something they some times did when neither knew what to say. The first to break the silence was Riff, with a playful tone «you didn't look too happy about Akross» he said, and Ikor could only sigh.
«Well, sorry if I'm not happy about my boyfriend hanging out with a hot guy I didn't know about» said Ikor with a grudge «what? Why? He's my friend!» answered Riff, jumping off the bed and walking up to his beloved.
«Maybe because he's hot, and he's your gay awakening?» said Ikor back, both angry and worried «why would you—?» Riff stopped himself, and a smirk came up on his lips «you're jealous~» he said teasingly, his smirk widening.
«AM NOT!» answered Ikor with an indignant tone, but Riff was convinced and teased his beloved about it. He chanted «Ikor is jealous! Ikor is jealous! Ikor is jealous!».
The Firie chuckled, admiring Ikor's grudge «although, you have no reason to be, I forgot about Akross the very moment I saw you» he said, walking up to Ikor and hugging him kindly.
«You know I love you» said the Icie, holding Riff with all his gentleness «and... when guys get close to you, I fear you might leave me for one of them» he murmured.
«I would never» Riff hugged tighter, and they kept holding each other for the next hour.
