#lee x commandant

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Lee's JP VA) is insane for this /pos

𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐒: male x Lee, although it's first pov so it's also gender neutral, canon-divergence, Lee is out of character, weird ㅤㅤㅤ〔 NO BETA 〕

𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒: based off one of Palefire's voicelines. Might write a part two when he is a bit more fucked up because MC keep feeding his possessive behaviour.

✂………………………………………………………………………………………………

Ever since he came back from whatever happened inside that tower, Lee has been a bit… weird, to say the least. Because, as someone who has been with him for enough years, you started to pinpoint his behaviour and changes of mood, his humour (or the lack of it), what he likes or dislikes, and you certainly got good at knowing when he's bothered by someone or something.

Today is one of those days. He is bothered, or you could even say he is actually angry. But for some reason it has been a little bit complicated to figure out what exactly annoyed him because he has been avoiding you. Working alone? Forget it, someone is always in the lounge and you can tell it was on purpose noticing how awkward the third party felt during those days. Practice? That's also a no, saying he already taught you everything you needed to know and mentioned how Wanshi is suddenly better at it.

You're losing your patience. In addition to that, he has been spending a lot of time with Asimov, apparently, just for a routine check-up to his new frame and to collect information and whatever else he comes up with as an excuse. He is bothered, and so are you.

Standing up from your seat, you decided to go straight to Asimov and ask for information. He would give in if you go with a good cup of coffee, so on the way to his lab, you bought two. Knowing knocking the door wouldn't work out, you opted to just barge inside. The scientist flinched at the sudden loud noise, looking at your way as confused and tired as ever. He knows you're angry and he can't escape from you.

ㅤㅤㅤ“If it's about Lee, I know nothing.”

ㅤㅤㅤ“I knew it!” you exclaimed, stopping a few centimetres from his face, “something IS going on with him and you're gonna tell me.” you finished while showing him the two cups of recently brewed coffee. The smell was too good to ignore it.

There was an awkward silence until he sighed heavily, rolled his eyes and was ready to spill the beans when a firm and strong metallic hand grabs your arm and pulls you far away from Asimov. You lost your balance and bumped against his sturdy body. You didn't need to look, you already know it's Lee. There's also something else you're hundreds percent sure and it's that… he is angry.

ㅤㅤㅤ“What were you two doing right now?” His voice never sounded so ridiculously sharp. Lee's hand is still firmly holding you close to him.

ㅤㅤㅤ“Blackmail” said Asimov

ㅤㅤㅤ“Nothing” you answered right at the same time.

Fine. Asimov is not entirely wrong, but wasn't he being a bit too petty? Either way, you keep thinking you have all the right to get information about your teammates by any possible means. You give a side eye to Lee, just to check how fucked up you are. And boy, it's really bad. At this moment is when you are a bit sure his eyes can change colour when he's having strong emotions, from those light blue eyes to a slightly darker hue.

He doesn't say anything, instead, he drags you back to the lounge while Asimov runs behind you to get those two cups of coffee off you before locking himself back inside the lab. That bastard, when I catch you Asimov, when I catch you…

Once you're both, finally, alone you feel extremely awkward. You're fidgeting, not knowing what to do with your hands or how to stand, the air feels a bit heavy and it's impossible to not notice how intense his eyes are.

ㅤㅤㅤ“What were you doing with him? And don't lie to me.” Lee broke the silence first, his tone still sharp. He was scolding you. How laughable.

ㅤㅤㅤ“But it's true that we weren't doing anything in particular. I just wanted to talk, that's all.” And you are not lying, and you didn't before, but weirdly enough, you feel guilty.

ㅤㅤㅤ“And you needed to be that close to him to talk?” Lee replied back, his posture changed, arms crossed, with that kind of attitude people have when they caught their partner cheat… wait.

Wait.

Now that you think about it in more detail, Lee has been having that specific attitude whenever you're talking to someone else, whenever you are too close to anyone else but him. It happened before when you were explaining something to Kamui, you could say you were pretty close, and Lee grabbed you the same way he did just before. And back to Wanshi, that sleepyhead has been teaching you about snipers for a while and Lee didn't seem to mind until…

What the hell is going on here? Am I delusional or is this man… jealous? Well, you just need to ask. So you do.

You walk to him, shortening the distance, and you can see he's getting a bit self-aware of his own feelings right now. His eyes are looking everywhere to find the perfect excuse to escape. You stop, only a breath away before your lips can touch…

ㅤㅤㅤ“Are you jealous?” your voice is soft, barely a whisper but it reaches his ears perfectly fine and he's blushing, and fuck if he does look cute all flustered.

He is really trying his best to maintain his cool, but you know you just need to push a little bit more and he will give in.

ㅤㅤㅤ“What's so wrong if I'm too close to Wanshi when he's teaching me stuffs? It's not like he's gonna eat me or something” You smirked, your body is more relaxed and maybe that was a mistake.

Lee grabs you by the collar of your uniform and pushes you against the wall. His eyes are back to that dark blue, which means he is angry again. You're holding a smile, you don't want to keep teasing your good luck.

ㅤㅤㅤ“I need to be the only one that's close to you, understood? No one else but me.” he said through gritted teeth.

If there was someone who would've told you in the past that the soft, caring Lee also had a possessive side you would have laughed in disbelief, but here you are now. And if you're being completely honest, you don't hate it at all. It's even… hot. You think that, maybe from now on, things might get more interesting with him.
