“Ha,” Upgrade said dryly, his lips twitching up into a smile as he tried to keep his gaze forward intstead of looking to the left at the hero lying beside him as they hid underneath Critical Mass’s evil-mobile. The battle had gotten away from them and they’d needed a moment to regroup, and what he should’ve been thinking about was what to do next, but a huge part of his huge brain was focused on how warm Cold Snap’s body was next to him, how close their hands were to each other, and how those six words from his long-time hero crush made his heart beat faster than any of the danger they might be in. He couldn’t even turn towards her to ask if she was serious or not, because if he did, their faces would be way too close; there’d been tons of times, usually in the heat of battle or right after, where his and Cold Snap’s flirting felt like it might lead to somethings more, and especially since he and Lucy had broken up regrettably, it felt like those flirty moments were happening more often than before, and they burned even brighter.

Or maybe it was possible that he just felt that way because the feelings he had for his new girlfriend didn’t hold a candle to the feelings he’d had for his ex. His relationship with Cold Snap had always been playful, but Lucy had been real, the realest anything in his life had ever been, and he loved her even more than he loved the fantasy of his superhero crush. Angel, on the other hand... well, she was sweet, and distracting enough sometimes, but he knew in his heart it wouldn’t last and that it wasn’t going anywhere. And if he was being honest with himself, Cold Snap reminded him a bit of Lucy, which made his big fat crush on her even bigger now that his heart didn’t belong too much to anybody else. 

Was it going too far to joke about kissing though? Even if he didn’t love Angel the way he’d loved Lucy -- the way he was trying to fall out of love with Lucy, if he was being introspective -- he still had a girlfriend, and he had to treat that relationship with respect, didn’t he? So what if his girlfriend didn’t make his heart beat or his face flush or his palms sweat like Lucy or Cold Snap did? That didn’t make how hard he was fantasizing about kissing another person okay... and yet, all he could think about was turning his head towards her and giving in to how much he wanted her. In fact, he thought about turning his head towards her so hard that he almost didn’t notice when he actually had. They were so close that they were sharing the same air, and it wasn’t as weird as sharing a stranger’s air ought to be. 

“Well... for all we know, we’re about to die,” Upgrade joked quietly, knowing his and Cold Snap’s talents together would easily take down the cartoonish villain, “so maybe we finally should.” He saw Cold Snap’s eyebrow twitch up, and he raised his own brows at her before shrugging as though he’d finally given in and sighed. “I love a good dare.” He’d wanted to kiss Cold Snap before on a mission so many times, and so many things had gotten in the way -- he had no reason to think this time wouldn’t be the same, right? And it wasn’t cheating if he got as close to kissing as possible and just relished in that closeness, in that tingling, was it? 

His eyes were closed but he could tell she’d gotten a little closer -- it was like their bodies spoke their own language, and the sliver of space between them was buzzing with years of secrets and jokes and victories and anticipation, and then he could feel one of her lips meet one of his with the sofest of touches, like a fingertip brushing across. It was such minimal contact, almost nothing, but it felt like everything, and it made him feel like coming completely undone. His mouth chased the warmth of hers to try and capture it in something more substantial, more solid, more real, but before they had a chance, Critical Mass’s laser claws threw their hiding spot across the room and left them exposed. Thankfully, the two young heroes didn’t need too much readjustment time before leaping back into action, and as they worked together, nature and technology hand in hand, Upgrade’s genius brain itched to try and connect some dots that had nothing to do with the villain they were taking down. It was more focused on who in heavens Cold Snap could be, and why she felt almost... familiar.
