Acquanited to friends

Before the whole lovely dovey shenanigans and getting together, you and Raiden started off as closed off co-workers who would simply nod heads whenever y'all cross paths.

You were the assistant of Doktor who recently was transferred to Maverick Security Consulting Inc. (MSC) to check up on Raiden's status and health and ensure his body functioned properly before he was sent off on a mission.

It was more effective like this as Raiden wouldn't have to constantly go back and forth to Doktor since he has you now to check up on him.

Eventually, one day he'll end up with his wires short circulating which hindered his right hand, thus requesting your assistance.

So here you were, fixing the wires that connects to his hand from behind him. It wasn't that bad since you had a prior knowledge of Raiden's body and which wires meant what (Thanks to Doktor of course).

It was awkward. The two of y'all never really interacted unless it was a check up once a week but even then, that was standard procedure for cyborgs.

With sparks of wires connecting and screws tightening up, it at least soothe the awkwardness.

Eventually, you'll be the one to start the conversation in hopes of easing the tension between y'all.

"Are you okay?", you asked, averting your eyes back on his face. The cyborg's single blue eye suddenly blinked, darting back on your face. "Um yes, I'm fine", his rasp voice echoed in the quiet lab. You hummed in knowledgment before averting your attention back on his robotic arm. You analyze the various wires, making a few adjustments here and there, and placing them in their according circuits. The claws of Raiden's left hand subconsciously tapped along the pristine counter.

"So...how did Dok made you his assistant? You know he's kinda picky", he inquired, trying to break the awkward silence. Hearing your boss's name, a small smile tugged the corners of your lips. "Well he kinda brought me along when he saw me scavenging left arms of cybrogs", you chuckled at the silly story of meeting your future boss in such predicament.

Raiden laughed along side you, seemingly please with the rather summarized story. "Yep. That seems like him", he pulled his head back, letting his spikey, platinum blond hair flowed behind him. The palpable tension between you two gradually faltered when you begin to socialize. Perhaps this is will be a new start...

After that little fix up, you begin to talk to him. Whether if it's was passing by in the hallways and saying your hellos to him or talking about random stuff while making some repairs for him to ease the silence.

Usually you'll be the one to start up the conversation as Raiden is nervous of talking to you, distracted by his thoughts.

Bingo! A beautiful friendship blossomed!

Whenever Raiden is on a mission, he'll end up calling you on the codec whether if it's to gather valuable information or to joke with you while being in enemy's territory (he enjoys talking to you).

Eventually the small talks and quality time changed something within Raiden. He yearns for your time, to listen to you yap while he listen, or just to even see you in the headquarters.

He was confused with this revelation; he wasn't use to such emotions let alone for someone else.

Just know for the past weeks, Raiden was slowly avoiding you in order to sort his feelings.

On missions just hearing your name made Raiden staggered, unfocused which didn't go unnoticed by Kevin and Doktor.

Doktor will be concern about this, obvious to connect the pieces together whereas Kevin will be chuckling at this, teasing Raiden about it.

"Raiden! Are you okay? Your heart is exceeling off the charts when I mentioned Y/n-", the codec bluntly shut off when Raiden blocked the end of Doktor's camera feed. His pale cheeks were flushed in a hue of red. He could hear his heart relentlessly pound through his ears, making him squinted his eyes. The gears within his cybrog body started grinding against each gear, sparking a friction.

He took a deep breath, trying to maintain control of his body. 'No need to think about...', his mind stopped with an image of you flashing in his head. He groaned, muttered something underneath his breath before his cool facade emerge on his face. Shouts from within the base averted his attention back on the mission. He reach for his sword, gripping it as he prepare himself for battle.

It got so bad that you had to confront him about it while you were giving the usual check up on Raiden. You had to lock the door, secure the windows, and even block out any calls from the codec and phone just so you could properly talk to him.

At first, Raiden was brushing your concern aside, deeming it as just paranoia. But with you pointing out his willingness to avoid you for the weeks.

He remained quiet for a good minute. He could feel his heart gradually hammered against his chest as if trying to burst out and show you his love.

Reluctantly, he confessed his reasons. From the friendship to the crush he developed for you.

Poor dude was stammering on his sentence with his pale cheeks coated in red.

It seems luck was on his side as you accepted his love which made Raiden feel a myriad of emotions: astonishment, confusion, overjoyed, and ecstatic.

Despite doubt and concern creeping into his mind, a sense of hope siezed those negative thoughts. Whatever the future had for him, you will be by his side, supporting him no matter what. That realization made the ends of his upper lip curved into a small smile. Maybe the future wouldn't be that bad with you by his side...

Friends to lovers

Things between you and Raiden were slow. It took a while for Raiden to open up, let himself become comfortable around you. A relationship like this was new to him, so he didn't know how to act around you.

He was still shy, kept his hands to himself and never engaged in the lovely dovey gestured couples do.

So you can expect PDA was out of the door.

Still, you were patient with him. You refrain from your touches, only touching him when he allows you to or if it's reassuring him. Even if he seemed to yearn for it, you always ask him, fully respecting his boundaries (Respecting boundaries is so hot).

With your patient, assuring nature, he gradually became comfortable with your physical touches. Hell, he began to reciprocate his feelings for you.

Whenever he's yearning for you, he'll ask for your consent to engage in intimate gestures like hugs, holding hands, and even kissing.

He developed a need for your attention, your touch, your love. Expect him to appear by your side out of nowhere whether if you were at home or even at work.

He'll always visit your in your office or lab whenever he had free time or wanted to spend time with you. (He'll go as far as to falsely report he's experiencing malfunctions in his cybrog body).

PDA will be kept to a minimum as he's still shy about being lovely dovey around you in front of people. Holding hands and words of affirmation are fine with him, but kisses and hugs? A big no for him (Okay sometimes he'll allow you).

Behind close doors, he'll happily show his love to you. Spending time watching trashy TV shows to cuddling up your side and pressing kisses on your forehead was how y'all would spend your times together.

His love language is acts of service and words of affirmation with bits of physical touch.

Whenever it comes to cuddling, Raiden would be in his civilian form just so it'll be more comfortable for you to sleep. Depending on his mood, the way he cuddled is affected.

After a long day of work, he'll find the need to hold you in his arms. As you lay on his chest nuzzling away in his shirt, he'll play with your hand, intertwining his fingers through your locks (Fortunately his robobtic claws are deactivated in this form or else that would be a disaster).

Y'all would watch a cheesy romcom movie which has Raiden very invested in for some apparent reason, but it's cute to see him so focus in this silly movie.

Throughout some nights, Raiden will move around, experiencing a nightmare so please gently wake him up and comfort him.

He'll end up in your arms, nuzzling his face into your chest. He calms down when you're whispering sweet nothings in his ear as you play with his hair.

I could see him getting a day off of work just to spend the entire day getting a beauty treatment with you.

"Hold still", you muttered, tilting your boyfriend's head to the side. He muttered something about how cold it was before complying with your demand. Today was an off day for the two of you which was surprising considering the demanding positions you two held in MSC. Raiden was in his civilian form with the slightly darker lines etched along the ends of his lips to parts of his limbs and body, implying he was indeed a cyborg in disguise.

A pink headband pushed his platinum blond bangs back, allowing you to apply the green face mask on his face. A white robe concealed his body which was identical to yours. "And...there! All done", you mused, pulling away from him. Oh man, if your co-workers ever saw this, they're definitely be baffled for weeks. Opening his eyes, he slowly sit up with his back straight against the armchair. "Thanks", he said which made you smile. When you noticed he was going to get up, you immediately gripped his shoulders, pushing him back to the armchair.

"Oh no you don't! We're not finished yet", you playfully remarked. Your grip told him everything he needed to know, and he leaned back. You quickly fetched the some sliced up cucumbers which made him give you an unamused look. "What?", you sauntered towards him, raising your eyebrow.

"Cucumbers? You know I don't need it, right?", he stated but you quickly interjected. "Shhh, pretty boy. You've been working too much and eyebags are forming underneath your eyes", you pointed out, sitting right next to him. "So lay down and let me tend to you properly", Raiden rolled his eyes but leaned against the armchair. He shutted his eyes, letting the darkness engulfed his vision.

You placed the cold, moist cucumbers on his closed eyes. Your hands traveled towards his head, soothingly scratching his blond hair. A sigh of relief escaped his mouth as he pulled his head back. As you ran your fingers through his hair, you spotted a speck of grey strands. Your eyes softened as your eyebrows knitted together; stress has been catching up to him.

"You okay?", his voice snapped you out of your thoughts. You blinked then again before peering down at him. There you noticed he lifted one of the cucumbers, shining his right eye up at you. Ah, he must've noticed you stopped scratching his hair. "Yeah, sorry. Just thinking about something", you reassured him. He gave you a doubtful look.

You playfully scoffed at this. "Oh don't go giving me that look!", you leaned down, getting close to his face. You bop him in the nose clearly startling him. "And did I tell you to take the cucumber off? No", you mused, ushering Raiden to close his right eyes again. He obliged, not wanting to pry more into your conflicted thoughts. This was supposed to be a relaxing spa day with you with no troublesome thoughts plaguing your mind.

When you pulled your fingers back from his face, he immediately grabbed your wrist. You spared a glance down at him. "Stay with me please", he muttered. Your eyes softened as a small smile tugged the corners of your lips. "Of course, dear", you rested along side him. You placed cucumbers over your eyes as you lay back against your seat. Quiet breaths lingered in the air with a tranquil melody playing in the background. Today will be a full on spa day for the two of you.

Oh please this man will always have his nails painted in a creamy, white nail polish almost every week.

Whenever it's chipped during missions, you applied another coat no matter what (Sometimes Sunny will help out if she's visiting!).

He always forget to take care of himself, so you always remind him. Crusty upper lip? Boom, he has lip balm in an extra compartment in his suit. Lack of sleep? He's always gets called to your lab just for him to rest. Haven't ate? There's already a row of plates on the table waiting for him.

Just know his body will be shiny to the point it even distracts the enemies and it's all thanks to you! You always polished his cybrog body every morning whenever he's in your lab.

Since you're technically supposed to be checking up his body, you'll implement some features such as a heater if case of some cuddling sessions or....something more 🤭 (I'll leave that to your thoughts).

You want a dog? Bam! Congrats, y'all have Blade Wolf as your pet /hj.

It was a compromise the two of you agree with since having a dog right now will provide a challenge due to your demanding jobs. So here's Wolf serving as your guard dog whenever he's dropped by your lab (Wolf loves you so much and is greatly for both you and Raiden).

If such thing were to happen, Raiden would want a Borzoi for some reason. He claims they're cute and most likely discovered their existence through Sunny showing him dog videos.

When you discovered his alter ego, Jack the Ripper, during one of his missions, you were...baffled, confused about everything. I mean, Raiden told you bits of his past; him growing as a child soldier and being raise as a killing machine was surely not suited for a child.

Fortunately, you calm down his alter ego just enough that he'll stop shedding bloodshed for a good minute or two.

And boy, Jack the Ripper was the opposite of your sweet boyfriend. Ruthless, blood thirsty, and derange. He threatened to kill you in a teasing (or really?) way but goodness, that made you stay away from him for a good while (whenever the ripper was out).

But eventually, the ripper calms down a very slim bit and assures you he won't do anything to ya since y'know he's apart of Raiden.

He's pretty chill around you surprising, although he'll rant about Raiden and you in a positive....negative...neutral way? It just depends on his mood.

Jack the Ripper seems fussy if you don't really acknowledge him which makes him take drastic methods to get your attention. Sneaking kisses, breaking messing with your equipment, whatever just to get your attention. (But he means well....I think).

Despite all of that, Raiden as a whole loves you no matter what. He will do anything for you in a heartbeat, putting you on top of his priorities.

You changed him for the better, and he's forever in debt to you. He vowed to do whatever just for you to be happy.
