Thrill of the Job (Ekko x Jinx)

chapter 3.

Ekko's eyes flickered open, and he looked up at Jinx. "Get me out of here," he whispered, his voice weak. Jinx nodded, her heart racing. She scooped up Ekko, cradling him in her arms as she made a run for it. The guards were closing in, but Jinx didn't care. She had to get Ekko to safety, no matter what. She ran as fast as she could, her heart pounding in her chest. Finally, she saw a glimmer of light up ahead - the entrance to their hideout. She stumbled through the door, Ekko still clutched in her arms. Jinx laid Ekko down on the bed, her hands shaking as she felt for his injuries. He was hurt badly, his body bruised and battered. Jinx's heart was racing as she tried to stem the bleeding. She had never felt so helpless in her life. Ekko's eyes flickered open, and he looked up at her. "Jinx," he whispered, his voice weak.

Jinx's heart skipped a beat as she looked down at Ekko. She felt a sense of trepidation, mixed with a deep sense of desire. She leaned down, her lips brushing against his. It was a gentle kiss, but it sent shivers down her spine. Ekko's eyes seemed to sparkle with amusement, and Jinx felt a pang of embarrassment. But as she looked down at him, she saw the sincerity in his eyes. He cared for her, deeply. And Jinx felt her heart melt, just a little.

Jinx's past mistakes began to haunt her, and she found herself withdrawing from Ekko. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was unworthy of his love and affection. Ekko, sensing her distance, tried to reach out to her, but Jinx pushed him away. “Stay. you’re going to start bleeding again.” She didn't want to burden. Ekko, however, was determined to help her face her fears and overcome her emotional scars.

Ekko's touch sparked a mix of emotions within Jinx. She felt a deep-seated desire to surrender to his love and care, but her past experiences had taught her to be wary of trust. Ekko, sensing her hesitation, took things slow, gently coaxing her out of her shell. “Stop fussing and let me hug you.” He whispered words of comfort and reassurance, his voice a soothing balm to her frazzled nerves. As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Jinx felt the weight of her secrets and fears slowly lifting.

As the night wore on and he recovered, Ekko took Jinx to his hideout, a secluded sanctuary in the heart of Zaun. “I know you got hurt too, don’t try to hide it.” He tended to her wounds as well, both physical and emotional, with a gentle touch and a compassionate ear. Jinx, feeling seen and heard for the first time in her life, began to open up to Ekko about her past. “It was, a lot, to say the least.” She shared with him the traumas she had endured, the pain and the fear that had driven her to become the person she was today. Ekko listened intently, his eyes filled with empathy and understanding, and Jinx felt a sense of liberation wash over her.

They began to discuss what had happened back there, the job, what they could’ve done differently.

He had always trusted Jinx to have his back, but now he felt betrayed by her actions. Jinx, sensing his hurt and anger, tried to explain herself, but Ekko wasn't having it. He felt like she had put him in harm's way, and he couldn't forgive her for that.

One thing was for sure, they would be laying low for the next few days..

As the days passed, Ekko and Jinx barely spoke to each other. The tension between them was palpable. Ekko, however, couldn't shake the feeling that he had been too harsh on Jinx. He knew that she had acted out of a desire to protect him, and he felt a pang of guilt for not trusting her. Jinx, on the other hand, was torn between her love for Ekko and her own sense of self-preservation. She didn't know if she could ever trust him again, but she couldn't deny the feelings that still lingered in her heart.

Jinx x Ekko (College AU!)

Compromise

(Ch. 1.)

Chapter 1.

In the dimly lit dorm room, Jinx flopped onto her bed, surrounded by piles of dirty laundry and empty energy drink cans. Her grades had just been posted, and she was less than thrilled. A big, fat 'F' stared back at her from the screen of her laptop, mocking her. Except it was not an F, it was a C+; but at this point they’re equals. She let out a loud sigh and tossed her phone onto the bed, where it landed with a soft thud. Ekko, her roommate and fellow student, poked his head into the room. "Hey, Jinx, what's wrong?" he asked, his eyes scanning the messy space.

Jinx groaned and buried her face in her pillow, “I mayyyy or may not have failed my psychology class. Again."

Ekko chuckled and sat down beside her. "Well, you can't exactly blame yourself., You did spend most of the semester pulling pranks on Caitlyn."

Jinx lifted her head, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Hey, that's not the point, The point is I'm a freaking genius and I shouldn't be failing anything."

Ekko raised an eyebrow. "A genius? I mean, love the confidence but from where I'm standing, it looks like you're more of a..creative problem solver…”

Jinx shot him a sarcastic grin, but Ekko just laughed and ruffled her hair. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get 'em next time. Now, want to come with me to the cafe and grab some dinner?"

“Fine, but you’re paying.”

As they walked to the cafeteria, they ran into Vi, who was sitting at a table, downing a cup of coffee. "Hey, guys! What's up?"

Jinx plopped down beside her, still looking sulky, “I failed my psych class. Ekko's being annoyingly cheerful about it."

“She got a C+, it’s not that serious,” Ekko chimed in. Vi snorted, “Well, someone's got to balance out your negativity, Jinx. Besides, it's not the end of the world. You can always retake the class..or just bribe the professor with one of your infamous pranks."

Jinx perked up at the suggestion, but Ekko shot her down. "No way, Jinx, you're not bribing anyone. You're going to study hard and pass that class the honest way."

Jinx pouted, but eventually, the three of them got into a lively discussion about everything from their favorite video games to their plans for the upcoming summer break, which was another 5 months around the corner, but hey, who’s counting?

As the night wore on, Jinx found herself stealing glances at Ekko, who was laughing and joking with Vi. She couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners, or the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck. As they left the cafeteria, Ekko turned to Jinx and said, "Hey, I want to show you something that might help you with your schoolwork."

Jinx raised an eyebrow, intrigued

“What is it??”

Ekko grinned. "It's a game, but not just any game. It's an educational game that can actually help you with your psychology class."

Jinx snorted, "A game? You really think a game is going to help me pass my class?"

Ekko chuckled. "Hear me out, hear me out, this game is actually really helpful, and it's fun too. It's all about interactive simulations and puzzles that teach you about different psychological concepts."

Jinx shrugged, but her curiosity was piqued. "Okay, fine. Show me."

*•*•*•*•*•*•*

They walked back to their dorm room, the tension between them still palpable. As they entered the room, Ekko closed the door behind them and booted up his laptop.

"Okay, so this game is called 'Mind Loop'," he explained, opening up the game on his laptop. "It's all about building and navigating different mental landscapes, and it teaches you about different psychological theories and concepts."

Jinx watched, fascinated, as Ekko showed her the game. She was surprised by how engaging and interactive it was, and she found herself actually enjoying it. As they played, Ekko sat next to her on the floor, their shoulders touching. Jinx felt a flutter in her chest, but she tried to ignore it, focusing on the game instead. And as the night wore on, they got more and more into the game, competing with each other to see who could solve the puzzles faster. But as the hours passed, Jinx started to feel her eyelids getting heavy.

Ekko noticed and smiled. "Hey, you're getting tired. Why don't we take a break?"

Jinx nodded, and Ekko closed the laptop. They sat there in silence for a moment, the only sound the hum of the computer.

Then, without thinking, Ekko reached out and wrapped his arms around Jinx, pulling her into a hug. Jinx felt a rush of emotions, but she didn't pull away. Instead, she hugged him back, feeling a sense of comfort and security that she hadn't felt in a long time.

As they hugged, Jinx felt her eyes getting heavier and heavier. She rested her head on Ekko's shoulder, feeling his warmth and his heartbeat. And before she knew it, she was falling asleep, Ekko's arms still wrapped around her. She felt him relax, his body sinking into the floor as he fell asleep too.

-Side to side- Chp.-1

The sun was shining in the Remuna Region. The morning air was filled with the sweet smell of flowers and the sweet chirps of the starlies. The meadow was covered in dewdrops that could be seen for miles. Maria was waiting for her friend Zeal to get ready. They were going to start their Pokémon journey together. Her motto was that it´s never too late to start something

Maria stood outside Zeal's house, looking at her watch. They were supposed to leave at dawn. She was getting impatient. She took a deep breath, went inside, and shouted "WAKE UPPPP!", Zeal fell out of bed and stumbled out of his room. He was sleepy and his hair was messy.

Zeal's mom came into the room with a smile. "Good morning! I see you're finally up. Comal likes to sleep in." She laughed. Zeal started packing everything with Maria’s help . Zeal's mom reminded him to be safe and take care of himself.

Before they could go Zeal’s Mom hugged them both. "Take care of Zeal, okay? I know I can trust him with you. Have a great journey and call me often!" She gave them extra money for food and said goodbye. As they walked away, Zeal turned to Maria and grinned. "Ready to start our adventure and have some fun?" Maria's eyes sparkled with excitement. She nodded and they set off on their journey- to the bus stop, that is.

They trotted down the street into the town square to catch the bus to the Vilkrin city where they would be greeted by Professor Zander, the professor of the region. As they boarded the bus Zeal looked back to the place he´d called home for 16 years, he would miss it, but he had Maria by his side and soon his new Pokémon partner.

The journey was long but they were able to see many wild Pokémon such as Rapidash, starly, starraptor, zebstrika; they were even able to see a Braivary when they arrived at Vilkrin City!!

They were amazed they’d never been there before; it was full of Pokémon and people. Some Pokémon were helping with construction while others were working in coffee shops, and some were even helping to keep the city clean, “this is amazing”

“I know I can’t wait to get my partner I just hope the professor still has some Pokémon with him”

“We better hurry then”, as Zeal said that they began sprinting, hoping to get there before all starters were taken; when they finally got there, professor Zander welcomed them, “ooh hello there are you here for a starter I suppose” “Yes, we know the starter distribution was earlier but someone was toooooooo comfyyy” “Hey!!” “-on their bed that we arrived late” “well there’s still a Tepig” “I’ll takeee itttt” “ hehe you know? You were lucky none of the trainers wanted him, he’s really shy, but brave and noble, I saw him the other day fighting against a cubone, and let me tell you, I don’t think the cubone will show his face around here ever again….sadly he’s the only one I have left, so here, take a pokeball, maybe your partner can help you catch one on the other side of the city…. or something like that.”

“I hope so”

“Oh c’mon don’t get all sad I’m pretty sure we’ll get you a cool one” Maria reassured Zeal as they waved goodbye to the professor and headed straight for the outskirts of the city.

Jinx x Ekko (College AU!)

(Ch 2.)

Chapter 2.

Jinx woke up before Ekko the next morning and after realizing they’d spent the night in each other’s arms she scrambled to her feet. She attempted to brush off the feeling of warmth that lingered in her chest. She told herself it was just her imagination, that she didn't actually feel anything for Ekko. But as she went about her day, she couldn't shake the sensation that something had shifted between them.

She found herself glancing at Ekko, wondering what he was thinking, and feeling a pang of irritation when he caught her eye and smiled.

"Hey, Jinx! What's up?" Vi asked, as Jinx walked into the cafeteria, Vi was making breakfast, her hair tied up in a makeshift ponytail and a spatula in her hand.

"Not much, Vi," Jinx replied, trying to sound nonchalant. "Just getting some breakfast."

Vi raised an eyebrow. "You're not still mad at Ekko, are you? I thought you two were getting along fine…"

Jinx scowled. "I'm not mad at him, I just... don't know what to make of him, okay?"

Vi chuckled and smirked, "Well, Ekko's a bit silly, but he's all right once you get to know him. And he's definitely got a thing for you, Jinx."

Jinx’s face went red, “Shut up Vi! No he does not. I can’t believe you said that out loud, gosh.”

•*•*•*~*•*•*•

Vi walked away into the kitchenette to put away the ingredients, “C’mon, we’re sisters, I have every right. You know, Jinx, it’s doesn’t hurt to try.”

“Try what?”

Jinx rolled her eyes as Vi trotted back to her side, “starting the fire.”

Jinx looked at her with disbelief, “What are you saying? You sound like one of those cringy characters in the shows Caitlyn likes to watch..ugh.”

Vi just winked and handed Jinx her breakfast, “I’ll chat it up with the boy saviour after my lunch duty, okay?”

Jinx stuck her tongue out. “No need.”

A/N: next chapter is gonna be juicy.

Thrill of the Job (Ekko x Jinx) chapter 1.

Jinx walked alone through the dark alleys of Zaun, her marked-up boots clicking on the wet pavement. She had just finished up a job for a client, and the pay was good. As she turned the corner, she saw a familiar silhouette leaning against a wall, as well as two shiny eyes fixated on her. Ekko, the boy who had been a knife in her side since they were kids. Always getting in the way, always trying to protect her. But Jinx didn't need protection. She could take care of herself.

Ekko pushed himself off the wall and walked towards her, a slow smile spreading across his face. "Jinx, what are you up to?" he asked, his voice low and smooth. Jinx rolled her eyes, trying to hide the flutter in her chest. She hadn't seen Ekko in months, not since their last job together had gone sour. But that's a story for another day. Despite the tension between them, she couldn't deny the spark there that still existed. Ekko's eyes seemed to see right through her, to the vulnerable girl she tried to keep hidden underneath that rough exterior.

Jinx tried to brush past Ekko, but he caught her arm, his grip warm and gentle. "Hey, wait up," he said, his voice soft. "I need to talk to you about something." Jinx raised an eyebrow, her heart racing. What could Ekko possibly want to talk to her about? They stood there for a moment, the tension between them building. Finally, Ekko released her arm, and Jinx took a step back, as if expressing her distaste.

As they walked, Ekko told Jinx about a job he had lined up, "It's a reach, but it'll pay off.."

It was one that required her particular set of skills. Jinx listened, taking in all the information he was giving her. She had always been drawn to the thrill of the job, the rush of adrenaline that came with it, the danger. And with Ekko by her side, she felt a sense of security she couldn't quite explain and didn't really want to. Maybe it was the way he watched her back, or the way he seemed to understand her. Whatever it was, Jinx found herself agreeing to the job.

Ugh..why did I agree to this?

In the future I plan on starting up a Kofi so y’all can get early access to fics (1 week in advance), custom fics and more!!! For all those interested let me know if y’all prefer Kofi or Patreon!! :)
