    Summary

    Rudo knew Zanka —sorry, "pRoFeSsor Nijiku"— was married. Everyone did, it would be hard to miss the way the usually stoic Materials Science professor softened when he looked down and ran a thumb over his wedding band. And yet despite that, no one knew anything about his wife, not even her name.

    For a so-called "average" guy, Zanka seemed to have a lot of secrets. The most concerning of which pertained to a suspicious guy with a lot of piercings who kept lurking around the research lab after hours.

    or

    A modern au in which Zanka and Jabber are professionals in their respective scientific fields, and have a reputation for being bitter rivals who are constantly publishing research papers trying to disprove the others findings.

    They've also been secretly married for 6 years.

     

    Rudo —a graduate student and one of Zanka's lab assistants at the University— somehow gets caught in the middle of it all.

    Summary

    Zanka's getting real sick of Jabber having the upper hand. No matter the occasion, no matter what area, the Raider always seemed to be one step ahead. And it seemed like it was going to stay that way.

    At least, until a strange encounter reveals one of Jabber's potential weaknesses. Gentle affection.

    This was Zanka's chance. He could finally get one over on Jabber. If it weren't for one tiny problem. Zanka's own weakness: these strange, soft feelings he's been having for Jabber.

    But it's fine. All he has to do is suppress them, squish them down. Out of sight, out of mind. He was going to get a win against Jabber, a win that counted.

    You see, in spite of everything, Zanka hasn't exactly learned to stop being arrogant.

    It'd be fine. He can do this. Jabber won't ever have to know about these feelings.

    (Spoiler Alert: It would not be fine)

    Summary

    Jabber lives for that. Lives for the moment someone looses their footing because he pushed too hard. Lives for the moment when someone pushes back, harder, harder, harder.

    Jabber loves this.

    Jabber-

    "I love you!"

    It bursts free from his chest, hot, reckless and unfiltered. Ripping it's way free from his core like it's clawing its way into daylight. He grins when he says it. Wide and bloody.

    Jabber's love is a punchline, a dare, and the best damn joke he's ever told.

    -
    Jabber says it, says it, says it, says it-
