Anyone Else

Requested: Can I get either a Bradshaw!reader or Mitchell!reader x Robert 'Bob' Floyd fic where the reader dated Jake before she ever met Bob, so when she meets the Dagger Squad as Bob's girl, it's the first time she's seen Jake since they broke up? Reader would be engaged or married to Bob and her and Jake would have ended on really bad terms. If this isn't up your alley and/or makes you uncomfortable feel free to ignore this request. Lots of love regardless! 🥰🥰🥰

Pairing: Bob x Bradshaw!Reader, Past jake Seresin x reader

When bob first got called back to top gun you panicked. Not only was your husband called back but so was your brother and the closest thing you ever had to a father. You stressed everyday, hoping they would be safe and sound.

Two and a half weeks later when the mission was successful and bob had thankfully made it home safe and sound, he called you to let you know that the dagger squad was being made permanent and he would be coming home to help you pack up your house and move you both down to San Diego. Nothing sounded better than living near everyone you considered your family. In a whirlwind you two had packed up the house, put it on the market to sell and made an offer on a new house.

It didn't take long to sell your old home thankfully, and you two found a perfect home five minutes from the beach and close to work for bob. It all seemed like everything was falling perfectly into place.

Letting out a dreamy sigh as you look around the open floor plan for the home you just got the keys too, your husband turns to look at you.

"everything okay dear?" you can't help the grin you let shine on your face when you turn to look at your husband's concern.

"Everything is perfect." He gives you a soft smile and kiss on the forehead then continues voicing his thoughts on where you should hang the tv for least amount of glare during the day.

You listen to him rant about where he wants to put the couch and how he wants to hang your wedding photos, giving an occasional hum of agreement.

"oh and also I want you to meet my squad" this causes you to raise an eyebrow. Usually over protective bob keeps you away from the dirtbags in the airforce he's typically assigned to deal with. You didn't question that too much, because you have upfront experience with how most air force men are.

"you do?"

"Yeah- these guys- they're different and I want them to meet the most important person in my life"

"awe, of course I wanna meet them honey and I'm glad you are finally part of a team that aren't just egotistical assholes- though I know how Bradley can be" He laughs at your joke, but he knows how excited you really are at being able to live near everyone. Too often the navy drags people away from the ones they love, so you are both grateful for the chance that it brought you all together.

It's about six days later- after everything is unpacked and settled that you are meeting the rest of the dagger squad. Say what you want but bob is nothing but efficient when unpacking- and bossing maverick and Bradley around for help.

When you arrive at the beach- you are delighted to see Penny and Maverick rekindling their love. However, before you make it over to them Bradley rushes over.

"I have something I need to tell you and I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier but I didn't think you would come and-"

"What is it?" you furrow your brow trying to look over your brothers shoulder. Bob looks just as confused as you do unsure as to what is making rooster so frazzled.

"Jake is here."

This confuses bob even further- because of course Jake is here?

"w-what" It feels like you take a shot of icy hot. both heat and freezing cold rushes through your veins.

"Does someone wanna clue me in?" You swallow and look up at your sweet husband- living proof that the sweet soft genuine love you always wanted does exist and you have it.

"Well- about 5 years ago, Jake and I were engaged..."

---Flashback---

It's late on a Friday night and you and your fiance Jake are laughing at an inside joke you two have. Your heart has never felt so full. You're both ignoring whatever movie you had turned on in the background- enjoying the night together instead.

In fact you remember spending the whole weekend like this- so wrapped up in each other- so in love that nothing else mattered. Laughter echo's the walls in your shared apartment.

That Sunday night- you giggled as he traced each of your features. Adamant that he would be able to memorize every piece of you, mind body and soul.

You just laughed at him and told him you'd be there for him to study every night. You didn't focus on his smile not reaching his eyes, nor the shaky breathe he let out.

You went to bed after a weekend that felt like a dream- a montage in a movie really.

And you woke up to a note on his empty bedside table saying I'm sorry- with his silver ring sitting on top.

-----

Bob knew the story- he knew everything about you and your past. Losing your father, losing your fiance and every other thing your brain would ever think of telling him.

He just didn't know that Jake was the ex fiance.

"I think I need a minute" Is all bob said- rubbing his hands down his face as he turns in the opposite direction for a walk.

"bob wait-" he turns and you can see the worry on his face- all his anxieties displayed right there.

"Honey- It'll be okay I just need a minute to process I promise"

and you understood- of course you did. If roles were reversed you don't know how okay you would be coming face to face with bob having an ex fiance and then it turning out to be someone that you would see everyday.

So you heave a sign and turn back to face rooster. Only he's twenty feet further away then you expected and he's blocking one very frantic Jake Seresin.

"Bradshaw just let me talk to her" You could see Bradley shake his head, but honestly you needed to clear the air. Hell you were married and happy- you've moved on.

"Bradley it's okay" your brother tenses his shoulders. You watch him tell Jake to stay put for one minute and he comes over to you.

"Are you sure? because if you're not sure or not ready to deal with all of this then say the word and we will go home and you can meet everyone another night" You laugh at his over protective big brother tone and shake your head.

"Bradley it was five years ago- I'm happily married I don't need to eat ice cream and cry about the past." you watch his serious face and he nods more than necessary

"Okay okay, but I will be right there and you just holler if you want me to kick his ass, I never got to the first time so" You just shove him away and watch as he does the I'm watching you signal to Jake.

You watch as Jake makes his way over to you, stopping with about three feet between you. The silence stretches for a minute, and he clears his throat.

"I- um Hi"

"hello" and you don't give anything more than that- the way you see it, you were ready to share every part of you for life with him and he threw it away. You don't owe him any more of you. You watch him- seeing the struggle in his green eyes you once knew so well. The ones you had nightmares about after he left. You watch as he heaves a sigh and tugs on his blond strands.

"I- I know words will never explain or show how truly sorry I am for how I treated you back then- for how I.... For how I ended things between us, I just want to say I'm so sorry. Genuinely I am so sorry and everyday I wake up and for a blissful three seconds I forget every stupid mistake I ever made and think I get to roll over and see your face but I never do..." His words shock you a little more than you thought they would. You never expected him to regret when he walked out that night. You figured he was a navy man through and through and navy men alway choose their jets over everything else.

You know that's not fair- that bob would choose you everyday of the week, but you watched it all your life. Jake knew that you watched Maverick choose his jet over ever settling down, you watched Bradley do the same, and then when Jake of all people did it to you- you never thought you would be able to mend that heartbreak.

The Irony of it was not only did you heal, you still chose a navy man who was in jets everyday.

When you first met bob you were smitten- so was he. However when you found out what he did and he watched your face turn sour- he thought he would never have a chance with you. He watched you distance yourself from him and bob was never good with confrontation so when he showed up drunk at your door asking why you suddenly didn't want him after you made him fall in love with you- you spilled everything.

Here the very reason that bob drunkely confessed to being in love with you stands before you and you can't help the heartache that surges through you. Not because your unhappy now- or that you would even change anything.

No the heartache surges through you because Jake looks lost. Like he left himself in your apartment that night and you left him there too when you moved places and moved on.

"Look Jake, did I hate you for a long time for what you did? Yes, but I've moved on, for so long I wanted this day to come- this apology to spill out of your mouth. Thinking someway the words would heal all the hurt you caused, and it doesn't. The hurt still happened, the pain is still a memory for me, but it grows more distant everyday and I'm really grateful. Jake as much as I loved you- I deserve someone that would choose me even when it's hard."

you watch as he swallows hard, nodding his head. You see the exact moment his eyes land on your left hand, the furrow in his brow and he takes in the shining diamond sitting delicately on your left hand. You see the shaky exhale he lets out.

"you found that then?" it's phrased as a question but you know it's more of a statement.

"yes, I found that" he nods and he looks everywhere but you.

"In another life... I would do things differently"

"I know" and you do, you can see his regret all over his face, you can see the heartache in his eyes- the same heartache that stared back at you in the mirror for months on end. You also know he will be okay, that he will heal and move on just like you did. You step closer, and rest your hand on his shoulder.

"things work out Jake, you'll be okay" and with that you step away, and make your way towards the rest of the group.

----

It takes bob a while to join the group again, and it has you worried. You never would've thought bob would be so hurt by this when he knew the story.

So when he joins the group in dog fight football but doesn't greet you know something isn't right. You try and let it going knowing when he is ready you two will talk but as the night progresses and he continues to ignore you, you start to get frustrated.

It's nearing the end of the day- bob just help score the last goal and his team won, the boys lift him up and start chanting his name which makes you grin.

They finally all make their way back over to you and Penny- who has been a great soundboard for how stressful today has been for you.

"That was great honey" you send bob a sweet smile- hoping that playing whatever insane version of football that was helped get his frustrations out.

"thanks." and he turns to talk to Phoenix. Penny shoots you a glance and you just sigh.

When everyone moves inside the bar to keep the party going, you make your rounds in getting to know everyone now that they aren't running around like maniacs.

However, during this bob strategically always seems to be on the opposite end of the bar from you. When it reaches a point that you are socially drained and talked to everyone you move to the bar, and sit by yourself nursing whatever drink penny concocted for you.

You're starting to get tired but whenever you try to get bobs attention he turns his body another direction. It reached a point where you are so frustrated that you call an uber.

"penny I'm gonna head- If bob asks I got an uber home" her eyebrows shoot up in surprise but she agrees to pass on the information, and watches you leave.

---

Now bob might've been mad- not really at you and he knows that. God he knows that, but he's so mad because he didn't realize jake was the Jake and he's mad at himself because he feels so insecure. How could you want someone like bob over someone like Jake.

He's really mad because he's scared. He is so in love with you, but what if you want jake back? What if you want to leave him now because your real love, your first love was never really bob?

What does he do when every time he looks at you, he sees you saying your leaving him, that you're sorry but it was never him and it never will be?

So when he turns around because he has been checking on you every five minutes- he has a timer on his watch so he doesn't do it too often and your gone he panics.

His eyes frantically search the bar- and he hates that when his eyes land on jake standing with coyote he's relieved that you aren't right there.

He searches the bar high and low, and still nothing. He waits, because maybe you just went to the bathroom but when ten minutes have passed and he realizes that is unlikely he anxiously makes his way to penny.

"penny where is she" and penny doesn't even have to look up to know it's bob asking about you.

"she went home"

"home- but- I drove"

"she took and uber" he swallows hard at that. Thinking of every time he saw an article about a woman getting attacked in an uber- You were alone out there with some stranger all because bob couldn't get his shit together.

So he hightails it out of there, and he drives home maybe a little quicker than he should. He gets home and all he sees is the light you left on in the entry way when you left, and he panics even more- where are you?

He rushes to your room, feeling like he is going to vomit up his own heart any second now. He sees the bathroom light on to your shared bathroom and the rush of relief cools his veins like he just got a cold glass of water in the Sahara.

He flings the bathroom door open and sees you jump as you wash your face.

"god bob you scared me" you mutter, trying to rid the soapy bubbles from your face.

"I am so so sorry honey" this causes you to look at him through the mirror.

"for scaring me or ignoring me today." your statement isn't angry, just blunt.

"both... god I'm sorry I was an ass today"

"yeah you were, care to explain?" you watch and he swallows.

"I'm so sorry darling, I was just so gutted with fear when I realized that Jake was your Jake and I realized maybe--- maybe you would want to leave me and take him back and god why wouldn't you he looks way better than me and then i go and treat you like shit on top of it, makes it an easy choice doesn't it and-"

"bob" you cut him off from his rant.

"I do not want to get back with Jake. I married you because I love you, with my whole soul, you make me laugh and you make so so very happy, even my best days with Jake don't compare to how happy I am with you every day." you watch his shoulder sag in relief. You make your way towards him, and pull him in close for a hug.

"I never want to hear you say that you aren't attractive, honey you are the most attractive man I have ever met, physically, emotionally, and in every other way imaginable." you hope he can see all the love you have for him shining in your eyes.

He hugs you back and squeezes like he really thought you might disappear on him and that breaks your heart more than anything else ever could.

"when I said I do honey, it's because I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life, nobody else. I love you more than anything or anyone else in the world and that will never change."

"I love you so much darling, I am so sorry I was stupid.... Please never uber anywhere again though they are so dangerous and I would've given you a ride" and you laugh at his antics because even clouded in his own insecurity and heartache he was worried about your safety.

Maybe that's why it was always meant to be bob, not anyone else. Bob may have bad days just like everyone else but above all else he cares so much it just scares him. You needed someone like bob to care for you after losing so much and he needed someone like you to choose him and soothe his worries away when they get to be too loud.

"it could never be anyone else"

you repeat the words a million times that night, and when you think about it, even the best weekend you ever had with Jake doesn't compare to everyday you have with Bob. It really could never have been anyone else.

Hang in There

Request: Hi I saw you opened and requests and I can’t stop thinking about Rooster finding fem reader passed out somewhere after training because she’s pregnant with Hangman’s baby 👀 Maybe she’s been off a while and hangman is still ✈️

a/n: hi guys! it's been forever since i posted something- i will update all my fics soon just needed some inspo from requests to get my mojo back. Thanks for understanding loves.

Pairing: Jake Seresin x female reader(Callsign Daisy)

Life has a way of kicking your ass in unexpected ways. After waking up sick for two weeks in a row you went to the doctors, only to find out you were pregnant. 8 weeks pregnant no less.

Now your approaching 10 weeks and you still don't know how to process that your pregnant, let alone tell your boyfriend. You know you want kids, but this is definitely not how you envisioned it happening.

The fear of telling Jake and losing him for this is something that has you up all night, every night. You can't help but thank you're lucky stars he's been on a mission for the last month because after waking up sick every day and hardly sleeping from the stress of it all, he would've figured you out. He should be getting home later today and you don't know what to do.

Logically, you know that while he plays the part of jackass cocky pilot, he worships you, and he would never be so low to leave you and your baby. His Texas roots would never let him. However, you're pregnant so your hormones don't let you settle the anxiety with logic.

Flinching as a door slams it knocks you out of the anxious spiral that has been your mind for the last few weeks.

"hey daisy you ready to kick some ass today?"

"when am I not" you send what you hope is a convincing smile towards rooster. You move around him grimacing as you walk into the sweltering southern California heat.

___

If there's one thing you can count on, flying is the one thing that gets you out of your head. It takes away all your fear and keeps you exactly in this moment. Nothing outside of being in the pilot seat matters. Not being pregnant, not every stress that comes with it being unplanned, and certainly no anxieties about what comes next.

There's no space for any of that. The second you climb that ladder, your life and everything about it falls away.

Today you are just running team trainings, and they are always your favorite. You have no upcoming mission scheduled so it's just to keep your skills refined and ready for when there is a mission.

"hey daisy, you know it's not fair when they team you up with Rooster, you should just let us win" coyote's voice crackles over the comms.

"Coyote how will you ever get better if I don't humble your ass every time i can?" your sarcastic reply echos back.

"C'mon just once! I've got a date tonight and I want to brag about being the winner"

"Tsk tsk you should know women don't want to hear you brag on the first date coyote. Maybe this is why you never get a second date."

"You can't seriously tell me the girl dating hangman told me not to brag right now."

Laughter crackles through from everyone, and you shake your head. Rooster gives you a signal and you move to his left ready to attack.

If there's one thing the dagger squad knows it's that when you and rooster fly together there is ultimately little to no chance for survival. Nobody expected the duo with callsigns rooster, and daisy to be such a lethal pair but you guys can read each others minds.

This is true on the ground too, which is why you've been avoiding rooster for two weeks. You know he can tell something is up, but if you avoid him, he can't figure out what.

"how quick do you think we can get them out today?" Roosters voice rasps.

"I reckon we will have them grounded in t-5 minutes"

"god not you too with the Texas talk" he groans.

"What you don't think it's charming?" he flips you off and you laugh.

Before you can respond you see coyote and payback flying. Dropping back to cover rooster you grin under the face mask. This is your favorite part of everyday.

Being up in the air with your best friends you feel invincible. Which is ironic considering this is actually a dangerous job.

"rooster, plan c"

"roger that" He goes shooting forward and you fall back. You laugh as you watch them chase rooster, it's symbolic in a way kids chase chickens and then get pecked.

You stay behind them until you move to get a shot. The sweet sound of missile lock rings out and payback drops off. Now that Coyote is onto you, the plan changes, and you become the bait.

You and Rooster know that he wants to air 'kill' you the most, which is why this plan will work. The temptation of you being right there will be too much for him to think about where rooster disappeared too.

So when rooster swoops in and gets the missile lock on coyote, you can't help but laugh. You and rooster devised this plan specifically for Coyote because he always complains when you two are teamed up together. So seeing it come to fruition and even better hearing Coyotes swearing, is the highlight of your day.

Grinning as you climb down from your jet, you search out rooster. You see him hopping onto the tarmac and walking over your way.

"roos we killed that!" you shout out at him. When you feet hit the tarmac, a rush swoops over you. Shaking it off you go to take a step and suddenly the world spins incredibly fast. Yet it feels like everything is going in slow motion, your vision goes spotty and you hear Rooster shout after you. The last thing you register before the world goes black is the sound of boots hitting the ground.

Rooster has never felt more scared to make a phone call in his life. How does he call Hangman and tell him that his girlfriend passed out, and is in the hospital bay when he has no idea why.

It's been four hours already, you haven't woken up and they won't give him any answers. His hair is a mess from stressing about his best friend not being okay while simultaneously worrying about how to tell the guy he knows would move heaven and earth for you.

His leg is bouncing up and down as he stares at the number dialed on his phone screen.

The fact of the matter is Hangman is probably still flying and won't be able to be contacted for a few more hours. The mission was a success, and then it was extended to have them run drills while at sea.

Bradley knows he has to make the call, but he's terrified that once he does it all feels more real. He's terrified to lose his best friend, He's lost enough already.

Sighing he rubs his hands down his face, picks back up his phone and hits the green call button. The ringing feels like the worst anticipation of his life. When it goes to voicemail his hands are shaking, and he doesn't know what to say so he just hangs up.

Next resort is to call the ship. A commander on board will contact hangman and deliver the bad news, and oh how he wanted to avoid it coming from anyone but him.

He feels a hand land on his shoulder, looking up and glancing at Mav he sighs.

"It's going to be okay Bradley"

"How could you possibly know that" Maverick sighs, and sits next to him.

"let me make the call." maverick opens his hand for him to hand him the phone.

"no- no I need to be the one.. just what do I say mav"

"you tell him the truth, you don't know yet what happened, she's stable but the doctors are finding out what happened and he needs to get back as soon as he can"

He swallows and it feels like steal is coating his throat. Nodding as he stands up he paces in front of mav.

"she's gonna be okay, she has to be okay. We take risks every day all day up in those jets, this can't be how she goes mav. She has to be okay."

"and she will be, but take a deep breathe and find yourself because when you get ahold of Seresin he needs you to be his rock, he doesn't need to hear you panic" Rooster sighs because Maverick is right. He grabs his phone and dials the ships emergency contact number.

It takes a few minutes, jumping through hoops, getting in contact with one person to be transferred to another. Rooster curses Jake for being so hard to get ahold of.

"This is warlock"

"Admiral, sir, this is Lieutenant Bradshaw. There's been an accident with Lieutenant y/l/n today and we need to get contact with Lieutenant Seresin."

"Jesus- is everything okay?"

"We're not really sure yet sir but Jake- he needs to know."

"He's in the air at the moment let me see if i can get him back on ship."

"thank you sir"

The minutes feel like hours as rooster is waiting. He hears chatter from his phone and he knows they are trying to get hangman back on the ship and available for the phone call but roosters not sure if he isn't ready to deliver the news or ready to get it over with.

What feels like an eternity later but is actually only twenty minutes he finally hears hangman in the background. He swallows hard.

"Rooster whats going on?" if there's one thing pilots know, they are never called down unless something bad happened.

"Jake. Something happened with daisy... she... she just passed out.."

"in the Air?!! Rooster tell me shes okay!"

"No no! not in the air.. we had just landed and i was walking over to her and she passed out. She's in the med bay now but we haven't heard anything about her condition yet."

"Fuck!..... Fuck!" in the background he hears jake asking how far from land they are. Ultimately needed to be there for you, needing to see you for himself. Bradley hears jake curse when the answer is still 3 hours out.

He hears a slam and then yelling before the line clicks dead. Rooster looks at maverick worried.

"what do you think he's gonna do"

"one way or another? getting a jet and flying here faster." is mavericks reply. Rooster can't help but agree, if he was 150 miles away from land on a boat that moves about 50 mph holding jets that move at 1,000 mph then he knows what option he would choose too.

----

It takes about 30 minutes for hangman to come rushing into the hospital bay.

"How is she, have we heard anything, what happened" He rapid fires off questions.

"the doctor came out and told us she passed out because she's sleep deprived and is showing signs of dehydration and that she hasn't eaten anything today."

"why- why hasn't, she knows she needs to eat- she's so good with drinking water... I don't understand." confusion crosses his fingers because none of that sounds like his girlfriend.

"when can i see her?"

"the doctor is going to come out soon and let us know what room she is in, they had to finish the tests to see if everything is okay."

Hangman nods and paces the floor where rooster paced about calling him. It only takes a couple minutes for a doctor to come out and call your name and everyone shoots up.

"Okay, well, I'm glad she has a support system but only one visitor at a time please, she does still need to rest and recover. She is in room 302"

Hangman takes off in a dead sprint towards the room.

---

Beeping is the next thing your mind registers, and it takes you a minute to open your eyes. Yawning you try to bring your hands up to rub your face but one is being held by something.

Looking over you see Jake studying your left hand.

"you know you scared the shit out of me today"

"Jake I-"

"why weren't you taking care of yourself?" this has you confused and furrowing your brows.

"I have been-"

"You were dehydrated, hadn't eaten and sleep deprived. It's why you passed out!"

"jake you've been gone! You don't know what I've been doing! I did eat breakfast and drink water this morning but I threw it up!"

"god darling daisy if your sick don't come to work!"

"I'm not sick!"

"some would say puking means your sick!"

"not when your pregnant!"

"you- you're pregnant?"

"Yes Jake! I've been throwing up for weeks because of stupid morning sickness and I haven't been sleeping well because oh my god I'm pregnant and that is the scariest thing, and I was worried to talk to you about it but I guess that's out now isn't it." Theres a silence that lingers on after your words, and it feels like ice pumping into your heart the longer it stretches on.

"oh- oh my god" your throat feels thick at his words, he's looking down at your still clasped hands and you watch him to gauge his reaction.

"we're having a baby?" he finally looks up at you and his eyes are welling with tears.

"yes- we're having a-" and your cut off by his lips crashing against yours. His laughter peels out of him as he pulls away.

"were having a baby!"

"wait... you're happy about it?"

"Of course I'm happy about it! You're the love of my life! I want everything with you. The house, the kids the marriage, the dogs the fights, and the stress"

His words make your eyes tear up.

"honey I hate that you were so stressed about telling me you weren't sleeping. I was sitting here, looking at your left hand thinking about how wrong it is that something happened and the doctors didn't immediately call me, that if something were to happen to one of us I never got the chance to put my ring on your finger." His words left you speechless.

"jake... what are you saying"

"I'm saying marry me."

"isn't that supposed to be a question?"

"No. Its a demand, marry me, make me the happiest man, have my babies and marry me and call me out on my shit and shoot me down in the sky I want it all. I know this is so not how i planned to ask you, but please, marry me." You laugh a wet laugh, because this makes sense, you two would get engaged in the weirdest way, and do it all out of order, but you love this man with your whole heart so you embrace the chaos.

"Of course I will marry you" and he kisses you with every emotion he's felt in the last few hours, but you both wouldn't change it. Even if he already has the ring at home in his sock drawer waiting for the perfect moment.

Thunder

Maverick X reader part 4 to hurricane

Warnings: SLOWBURN, AGEGAP,

a/n: Sorry for being spotty at best when it comes to posting, I am trying to be better!

Sighing, maverick scans the bar for you once again. Probably his third time doing it in the last 3 minutes. It's been 2 weeks since he saw you out on that beach, and at first he was thankful for that. Unsure what he would do when he saw you, what he would say to make up for all his terrible behavior.

Now he's just begging to see you. Sitting at the hard deck for the fourth night in a row is not something he would normally do. What he can't figure out is why you haven't been working.

He can't help the tightness is his lungs as he fears that maybe you were done. Done with him and done with this little seaside town. Feeling like lead has settled in his stomach he takes another sip of his beer.

Desperate to see you walk through that door. To see you laugh with Penny and give his pilots a hard time. God he just wants to feel your soft skin as he brushes hair out of your face.

He groans audibly.

"Still nursing that beer Pete?"

"penny please, tell me where she is"

"She asked me to give her some time off, I don't know what she did with it" they both know she's not telling Pete everything. He just doesn't know if it's because you asked or because Penny is the one playing protective.

Feeling another sweeping wave of melancholy settle in his chest he moves to leave. Taking a quick detour to use the bathroom first. When he steps out, starting his new nightly routine of 2 beers, and restless sleep. An imaginary check goes by the 2 beers. He doesn't really look forward to the next part.

Here at least, while he's sitting in his sadness and drinking his two beers he has hope. Hope that you will finally come back in through that door.

Then he hears it. He's halfway to the door and he hears your laugh. For a moment he feels insane, like he's finally broken after two weeks of constantly thinking of you, but then he hears you speak and he knows it's real.

It feels like slow motion he turns his head and see's you standing and hugging Penny. There's a rushing sound in his ears, and he can feel his mouth open and close. You haven't seen him yet, and he's nervous.

Do you even want to see him? Did he miss his shot and now he's just stuck here wishing he wasn't an idiot? His mouth feels dry and suddenly his feet are moving.

It's like an invisible string pulling him to you. He's halfway to you when you turn. He hates the way your smile dims until your face is nothing but blank towards him. The sight makes his heart squeeze painfully in his chest.

"Can we talk please" your voice is filled with no emotion and even though all he's been dying to do is talk to you, now he's not sure if that hope is going in his favor.

"Of course" you walk past him, close enough he smells the sweet scent of apples and he follows. You walk to the back room of the bar, turning to face him as the door swings shut.

The quiet thump of the music and loud crowds can be heard through the door but neither of you pay it any mind.

"Okay look. You might not think so but I. am an adult, and I get it you don't actually want me in anyway the kiss was nothing but a mistake but please stop making me feel like I did something wrong. We both participated so we both need to handle this like adults"

Hearing you call it a mistake had his heart freezing in his chest. It wasn't a mistake- the mistake was leaving you and then pretending nothing happened.

"It wasn't" his voice comes out hoarse and filled with emotion, you glance up at him and he sees confusion in your eyes before he sighs.

"Don't call the kiss a mistake" your brows furrow and all he wants to do is ease all your confusion away and make you laugh.

"Then what would you call it"

"everything" he hears your breath hitch and he takes a step closer to you.

"I know I was an ass, and I regret it, I've regretted it every night since, but if you really do think it was a mistake, if you really don't want this- us-- Then I'll go and I won't make it weird but you have to know for me it was everything" He reaches his hand up, brushing his thumb along your cheek.

"mav" your voice is nothing but a whisper and yet it makes his heart soar, just to plummet when you take a step back.

"you don't get to just-- to just kiss me and then ignore me like I mean nothing and then suddenly flip the script and think that's okay! I'm not just some toy for you to play with when you are bored" Anger flames up your cheeks and you huff out a breath.

He tries to step closer but you put a hand up.

"Just stop Pete I can't do this tonight. You can't just make me feel like shit, and disposable for weeks and then come back when you want. You--- you are such an ass! You know that?" Your mouth opens to say more but you slam it shut, and walk out of the bar all together.

His shoulders slump, that is not how he wanted this to go, pain flairs in his chest and he sighs.

"Mad is good" He glances over and sees Rooster standing there.

"what do you mean mad is good?"

"If she wasn't mad it would mean she doesn't care. Clearly she still cares, what you did was shitty, but she still cares." and the pesky flame of hope starts right back up in mavericks chest.

Hope. He would work with it, if you still cared then he could gain your forgiveness. He would win you over, because in all his years a kiss has never left him so starving for more than when he kissed you.

He groans though, because when did he become the kind of guy who needed advice from someone he changed diapers on. Rooster gives him a comforting hand on the shoulder to top it all off, like he knows where Maverick's mind is.

"C'mon mav we can brainstorm Ideas to get her back tomorrow, but tonight just drink and play pool with us" Pete agrees with that notion, anything he did tonight would make it worse, you needed time and he would give it to you, but he's no where close to giving up on you.

He just hopes you feel the same about him.

Storm

Phoenix x reader part 4 of prey!

Warnings: Slow burn, enemies to lovers, angst? hurt reader

a/n: sorry for this taking so long my loves, I hope you enjoy this part!

When you woke up this morning with a raging hangover and embarrassment pushing against your heart in a way that makes you want to stay in bed forever.

Sighing you sit up and square your shoulders. If you have to get through today then you might as well try and do it with your head held high.

Groaning as you recall Phoenix being the one who had taken you home. Instead of slamming your head into the wall you tighten the standard regulation boots around your ankles.

Thankfully nobody said a word about you doing anything embarrassing. Truthfully everyone's gotten a bit too drunk a time or two. You just expected yours to be the brunt of jokes today.

You feel like your skin is crawling until the moment you sit in your jet. It's like all the built in tension that started as soon as you woke up this morning is gone. Any worries or stress that clouds your mind is gone as soon as you are in your jet. The sound of the loud jets couldn't even get hungover you down. Sure it made your head pound a little harder but you weren't discouraged by that in the slightest.

The roaring sound is muffled by the headphones to talk to other pilots but you can feel the rumbling in your bones. It sparks your soul on fire every time.

"ready to kick some ass?" none other than your new found best friend echos through the mic.

"Oh hangman I'm always ready to kick some ass" his laughter chortles back. You're running drills together today- not dogfighting but it excites you all the same.

You're two runs in with hangman, trying to beat the time when Maverick crackles over the radio.

"you guys need to turn back now." he sounds urgent and serious.

"what why?" you guys were making good time this time around, and you didn't want to give that up.

"a storm changed directions and it's rolling in fast- get grounded as soon as possible" being caught up in a storm is something no pilot really wants, but you and hangman are so close to reaching the goal time.

So you do what any two cocky idiot pilots would do and you two press on. You're almost done anyways and then you can head back. In another minute and a half you and hangman curse, barely not beating the course by 5 seconds. 5 seconds too slow. Too slow-- words a pilot never wants to hear. You two turn to head back when you see the storm behind you.

"Uh jake you seeing this?" you swallow thickly- when maverick said storm you didn't expect the large black clouds billowing in and quickly.

"oh I see it alright. let's hustle" and you two did exactly that. Whipping through the sky above the canyon to avoid the need to slow down. You two make good time, not wanting to mess with the ominous sky. As hangman goes into land you circle around to get ready for your landing.

That's when everything goes wrong though. A wind burst hits your right engine in a way that makes it stall, you're too close to the ground to try and get the engine up and running again.

"My-My engine stalled- going in for a landing with one engine, don't have another option."

"What! you'll come in way too hot!"

"I know that's why I'm going to turn and run the runway backwards- i'll hit empty field not building"

"tiger You can't do that you'll get seriously hurt"

"You got another option for me? I can't eject- too close to the ground- if i turn off to turn on to fix the stall I'll crash. Landing unsteady has to be it" Silence crackles back at you, and you know that while he doesn't like it he agrees.

"Please be careful"

"have some faith" and with that you make the turn, lowering your altitude and targeting yourself to the runway.

Your wheels touch ground roughly, and too quick. Your body whips around like a rag doll. The last thing you see is the rough field quickly approaching before your head slams into the window and you black out.

----

Phoenix was never fond of running, she could do it sure- but on the days it was time to run laps she hated it. She could deadlift more than half her weight but running was the bane of her existence.

This time though, she hadn't even realized she was running. Blood was rushing in her ears so loud that she can't even register the yelling going on around her.

She's halfway down the runway when Bob finally catches her, stopping her by grabbing her shoulders.

"Phoenix stop" her eyes lock on his and her brain comes into focus.

"She's hurt bob"

"I know- the medics are already out there helping her, you would just get in the way and she doesn't need that right now."

"bob-- I-" He nods his head and pulls her into a hug.

"I know, she will be okay and you can tell her yourself."

Thirty minutes later Phoenix is pacing in the waiting room of the hospital. Nobody had anything to say on your condition and it was driving her mad.

How did nobody know how you were doing? The whole team was sitting in the waiting room around her and she could see their nervousness too. Rooster bouncing his knee, bob tapping his thigh, Hangman being shockingly quiet and biting the inside of his cheek. Maverick was up at the nurses station trying to find anything out, even though he knew they wouldn't give him anything.

It's four cruel hours later that a nurse finally comes in and breaks everyone out of their anxious stares at the stark white walls.

"y/n" when the nurse says your name the entire team shoots up.

"yes- how is she??" its a frantic question and Natasha isn't sure who asked it but that's not important.

"She is pretty banged up, has a severe concussion and a broken arm and fractured ribs but she should be fine" Everyone breathes out a simultaneous breath of relief.

Nobody says anything as Jake lets out a watery laugh.

"you guys can go see her- she's pretty out of it but that's normal. One at a time would be best too, we don't want to overwhelm her." Everyone nods their understanding and everyone but Jake heads to the waiting room just down the hall from her room. Natasha can breathe again for the first time since your wheels touched the tarmac, but she knows Jake needs to see you first.

---

Groggily you open your eyes, the bright white lighting making your eyes water and your head pound harder. The doctors had explained everything to you in confusing medical terminology but from what you understand you will be okay.

Sighing as you look down at your arm, an orange cast that mocks you. A reminder that you can't fly for the next couple months and it makes your heart hurt.

Your parent's had been notified and were flying to California as soon as they could. Realistically you knew how dangerous the stunt you pulled today was, and it's a miracle you are still alive and the jet didn't just crash and burn with you in it.

The door to your room creaks open and there stands a green in the face Jake Seresin.

"Hey partner" your voice is rough but you crack a smile at him anyways.

"I'm so sorry" that makes you furrow your brow.

"Jake none of this was your fault. You didn't make the storm switch directions, you didn't make me finish that course and you didn't cause my engine to stall"

"I should've had you land first"

"that would've made no sense you were ahead of me in the formation" logically he knew this, but you could see the guilt in his eyes as he glanced at your arm.

"shit happens seresin, I got a cool story out of this"

"that's not funny" he grumbles but there is a crack of a smile on his face.

"too soon?" and then he laughs.

"I just need by best friend up in that sky as soon as you're better alright?"

"try and stop me" you two share grins for a moment and he gives your aching body a hug. He informs you that the whole team wants to see you as well but they are only allowing one person at a time, and that he will see you later because there is no way you're sleeping in a hospital alone.

Everyone trickles in one and a time, and next thing you know you're exhausted. Who knew crashing while hungover would make for such a draining day. Maverick, the second to last visitor stands, promising he will have hangman pick up your favorite dinner rather than the mediocre cold food the hospital provided.

You rest your eyes for a moment before Natasha is sent in. When the familiar sound of the door creaking open sounds through the room you crack an eye open.

"I'm still a better pilot Trace" Her quiet laughter rings out

"Next time you need an excuse to get out of a mission just say that" you laugh back at her. This newfound lightness between you two is strange, but refreshing. You didn't realize how much energy it took to hate the small brunette everyday. A moment of silence lulls between you too, struggling to know what to say in this new terrain of friendship.

"you really scared us today" you close you eyes and grin.

"well you know, sometimes everyone needs a near death experience just to keep things interesting" She doesn't laugh and you don't open your eyes. So when you feel her hand grab your cast free hand it startles you.

"please don't ever do that again" you squeeze her hand

"trust me I don't plan too" she squeezes back and it's as if you two reach an understanding that there are things unsaid but you can't find the courage or energy to say them.

To be fair, almost dying is a pretty draining way to spend the day.

So is worrying about the person you love dying.
