“Stop it,” Victor hissed, barely managing to keep his face under control as he confronted Julian. The telekinetic studied his fingernails, not even trying to deny what he had done. “It’s hard enough to keep the peace between us and the Skrulls without you playing poltergeist.”
“I was just having a little fun,” Julian said. “You used to think I was funny.”
“That was when I wasn’t a unit commander!” Victor growled. “You’re trying to drive me mad, aren’t you. This is all a plan to get yourself promoted.”
“Vic, Vic, Vic, you gotta relax,” Julian sighed. “You’re taking things way too seriously.”
“You aren’t taking things seriously enough, just like always! And stop calling me ‘Vic’! I’m your commanding officer, not your-” He hesitated barely a moment, “-your friend.”
“That’s not the word I would have picked,” Julian mused.
“Yeah, well that was a long time ago. I’m very certain that Sofia wouldn’t approve of that starting up again.”
“Yeah, well…” Julian rose from his perch, invading Victor’s personal space with the kind of speed most people wouldn’t have credited him with. Victor tried to retreat, only to find his feet pinned to the floor by Julian’s telekinesis. “Vic, you’re gonna give yourself an ulcer.”
Victor’s hands clenched at his sides, and thoughts of giving Julian a punch right in the nose flashed through his mind. “You’re the one who’s gonna give me an ulcer, Julian.”
“That’s the first time you’ve called me Julian since I got here,” Julian noted, cupping the back of Victor’s neck. He bent his head slightly, his lips brushing Victor’s. The reptilian mutant shivered, his lips parting slightly as Julian deepened the kiss, pushing his tongue past Victor’s teeth. Victor brought a hand up, fisting it in Julian’s hair and jerking his head back hard. “Ow! Christ, Vic-”
“I can’t-”
“We were good together, weren’t we?” Julian asked quietly, finally moving out of Victor’s space as Victor let his hair go. “We were really good.”
“Then you were really good with Sofia,” Victor said, his eyes going hard. “I can’t do this again. I need to stay in control, and this…”
“You could have all the control you wanted, baby,” Julian purred. “I liked it when you were in control, remember?”
Victor pushed Julian away, hard enough to send the other mutant tumbling to the floor. “I remember.”
