Summary: They say the closer you are, the more you fight.
Characters: Khun Aguero Agnis & Hatsu/Hatz
(A/N: Inspired by the cafeteria scene where Shibisu was being a funny menace blurting out, “They say the closer you are, the more you fight” while Hatz and Khun bicker with each other lmao. Also inspired by that scene where Hatz was thanking Khun after persuading Endorsi to sign that friendship paper and Khun decided to be a funny, arrogant prick and rubbed it on Hatz’s face. I’m boarding this ship. They’re funny and cute together and the chemistry and tension are palpable. I don’t own Tower of God. Only this meager Hatzkhun fic of mine on this site).
“So, that’s your magnificent plan? You should’ve written a better and realistic script with that skilled mind of yours. Most beauteous princess? How embarrassing.” Hatz deadpanned as he glared at him.
“What?! You just don’t have any talent as an actor!” Khun shot back as he glared back at him.
An imaginary electric current passed through them as they held each other’s looks with a varying disgusted expression on their faces.
Hatz was about to pull the hilt of his sword when Shibisu intercepted with a nervous smile on his face.
“Now, now… Shouldn’t we be thanking him…?”
Hatz gripped the handle of his sword tightly for a few seconds before he let out an exasperated sigh and loosened his grip on it. “I’m indebted to you.”
Khun held a smug expression on his face as he smirked at him. “Huh? What’s that? I can’t hear you.” He asked in faux politeness.
“Why you…!” If looks can kill, Khun might be lying in a heap right because of how sharp his glare alone directed at Khun who continued being petty and smug just to spite him.
“Thank you very much!” Hatz ground out as he bowed stiffly at him.
“No problem.” Khun crossed his arms over his chest and shot him a playful wink afterward.
Hatz didn’t know what kind of expression he was making but it amused the other more as he grinned deviously at him.
But before he could even retort, Shibisu tugged on his arm nervously and stuttered out a response. “I just r-remembered! Serena’s looking for us in the c-cafeteria to help her with something! Ah, t-thank you once again Baam and Khun!” Shibisu bowed to them gratefully.
“Ah, no worries Shibisu. We’re glad to be of any help to our friends!” Baam offered him a sunny smile as he waved goodbye at them.
Hatz just let out a deep breath and turned around and started to walk away from them with Shibisu following behind.
Khun stared at the retreating figure of the swordsman, his infuriating smirk slowly morphed into an intrigued smile.
The swordsman might be an annoying one but sometimes it awakened his curiosity and intrigue within him.
It was entertaining to see on how his face would flit into a different set of expressions within a second of dropping a verbal bomb coming from him.
And dare he say that he was a bit proud of himself in breaking that calm and indifferent façade with his biting yet playful words alone.
They’re on a different spectrum.
The swordsman was a noble and honorable man with a strong moral code.
While he was cunning and didn’t hesitate to use underhanded tactics to survive and win because that’s how real life operates.
In this kind of environment, he thought on how long Hatz’s strong morality would last…
…but then again Baam was beside him who was pure yet determined on his beliefs alone.
Hatz continued to push his buttons with his belligerent attitude directed at him alone.
But Khun relished in a good challenge, and he didn’t back away from it.
A glint came into his icy, blue eyes.
Somehow the next incoming days will be interesting in this place.
(A/N: Yes. I have joined the HatzKhun ship and letting it sail. They’re the definition of the classic enemies to lover’s trope and I’m living for it. Reviews are amusing so let me hear them from you).
