Will you be able to escape the man who was determined to find you? Will you be able to keep Bradley safe? To fall in love again?
Authors note: I’m so damn happy people have enjoyed this series so far. Its been a joy to write. Thank you!
********************************************************
It wasn’t until 10am that your eyes tiredly opened. You slept like a fucking rock- which surprised you considering how much was on your mind last night. You stared up at the white ceiling, hoping that the weight in your chest would dissipate.  
The conversation you had with Bradley was gnawing at you. You couldn’t help but think that maybe Bradley didn’t want to know everything you’d shared. What if you had completely freaked him out?
Maybe it would’ve been better if you were running from a toxic job or a crazy family- But of course you had to be hiding from an Ex that was threatening to hunt you down and kill you.
How fucking dramatic.
You groaned and crossed your hands over your chest. You were going to dinner with Bradley Bradshaw tonight. Was it a date? He hadn’t exactly said it was a date- but it was obvious he wasn’t just trying to be friends.
Your stomach twisted and turned at the thought of falling for him. You wouldn’t let yourself fall for him- not yet. You had to keep Bradley safe from whatever the hell your life was. Matters had to resolve with Tim before you could let yourself truly start with Bradley. It was only fair to him.
All of that aside you realized that you needed to be honest with yourself. You thought Bradley was fucking hot. And you thought it was admirable that he didn’t run from you even though your circumstances were uncalled for. It made your heart flutter thinking about his promise.
“I will never let that son of a bitch hurt you again.”
He was going to drive you nuts with the number of times those words were popping into your thoughts. You rubbed your eyes, thinking about the lecture Mav was going to give you for sleeping in so late.
You knew you had to tell Maverick what was going on with Bradley. You told him everything since you moved in, and you didn’t want to start hiding things from him now.
You let out a big yawn and stretched your body from your arms to your toes. It was, unfortunately, time to wake up. You slipped on your sweatpants that were lying on the ground but kept on the t-shirt you had slept in and made your way down the narrow staircase.
Maverick was sitting at the small kitchen table reading a thick book. He had a cup of coffee next to him and he looked completely dressed for the day. Just as you had expected.
“I’ll make breakfast.” You said with a small smile on your face. You wandered into the tiny kitchen. You could barely fit two people in the small space. You opened the fridge and searched for something to cook for the both of you.
“I’ve been awake since 5 AM. It’s practically time for lunch”
You peeked your head from behind the fridge doors and stuck your tongue out at him.
“Don’t act like you’re better than me for waking up at the butt crack of dawn.”
You grabbed eggs, bread and bacon and brought them to the minimal counter space available.
“Waking up early is good for you.” He defended himself. You just shook your head at him.
“Well, I’ll make you some toast anyways. No one can refuse buttery toast.” You said in an exacerbated voice.
Maverick gave up his “no breakfast” fight and went back to reading the book that was held tightly between his hands. You smiled softly at him from a distance. You owed him so much. He didn’t have to take you in, but he did. He also didn’t have to help pay for your private investigator – but he had insisted.
“I noticed your car wasn’t here this morning.” He said, without even looking up from his damn book.
Well shit.
“Yeah…I was going to fill you in on that.”
You slid a plate full of toast to him while you sat down across the table with your own plate full of food. You chowed down on a piece of bacon before speaking.
“I had a panic attack at work last night.” You weren’t ashamed of telling him, Mav had seen you have one before and he understood what it was like. He also knew that you’d been working on managing them with therapy ever since you moved.
He looked at you with worried eyes but nodded in response.
“Besides the amount of embarrassment I created, I’m fine.” You took a bite of your toast and avoided eye contact with Mav. “Bradley drove me home.”
Maverick’s eyes perked up with that. You could tell he was trying not to have a reaction, but he was failing miserably. He looked happy but mostly surprised. You took a big breath in.
“And… He’s taking me out for dinner tonight.”
“What?” He coughed back a choke while trying to swallow his toast. “I mean… um that’s nice of him.” You could tell Mav was internally freaking out on what to say. As much as he was a father to you, anything to do with you and going out with men made him flustered.
You laughed at his response and took another bite of toast.
“It’s not a date.” You said very unconfidently. “Well, it might be, I’m not sure- But he knows that I’m not ready for anything serious. He just enjoys my company I guess.” It was the best way you could describe why you were going to dinner with him tonight.
“I’m glad you two are getting along.” Mav said very awkwardly. You laughed at him again.
“Wow, that is the most awkward- dad response I could have thought of.” He chuckled and sat back in his chair.
“Does he know about Tim?” You knew that question was coming, but it still stung. You wished that Tim didn’t have to be in the same sentence as Bradley ever. You wished that Tim didn’t exist at all and that Bradley could take you out to dinner with no looming reason not to.
“He knows. Not everything, but he knows”. You bit on your lip. “I thought he would be freaked out when I told him, but he seemed like he was just pissed.”
Maverick chuckled.
“Sounds like Bradshaw. He’s a hothead when it comes to protecting people he cares about.” You decided to ignore the part about Bradley caring about you. I mean he hardly fucking knew you.
“I don’t even know if it’s anything.” You said assuredly. “I just didn’t want to hide it from you.”
Mav smiled in appreciation. You two had inevitably grown closer in the last few months. You were thankful for him, if it wasn’t for him, you weren’t sure if you’d even be alive.
“Thanks for telling me.” Mav stood up to put his plate in the sink. “And by the way, if he asked you out to dinner it’s definitely a date.”
This time you were the one choking on the toast. You coughed loudly and you could hear Mav snickering.
“Fuck.” You said as nervousness grew in your stomach.
“What am I even supposed to wear?” You whined, crossing your arms over your chest. Maverick put his hands up in surrender.
“I am definitely not the person to ask for that one.”
He sat back down at the table and opened his book, seemingly done with the conversation.
You finished your breakfast in a few minutes.  The feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty still rippled within you. You hated to annoy Maverick, but you had no one else to confide in.
“Do you think this is a good idea Mav?” You shook your head and sat back. “What if somehow Tim finds out I went out with him? Even if we are just friends, he would kill him.” Your heart grew heavy instantly. You pictured Bradley’s sweet brown eyes and soft smile. If anything happened to him because of you…. You would never be able to forgive yourself.
“John will give us a heads up if he starts to head out this way.” Maverick said it like he was reassuring both you and him.
“I just want to make sure that he’s safe.” Maverick gave you a small smile.
“He can take care of himself. And I know he’ll keep you safe too.” Maverick set the book down. “Tim’s not going to get to you again. There’s no way I’ll let that happen.”
You gave a small nod. You decided you were tired of talking about Tim. He really didn’t fucking deserve the attention.
“Bradley’s picking me up at 5.” You stood up and took your plate to the sink. “He wants to go to that BBQ place on the base.”
Mav nodded and put his hands behind his head.
“So dress casual then.” He said shrugging.
“Well, no shit.” You rubbed your eyes again. “That still doesn’t help with exactly what I should wear.”
Mav narrowed his eyes at you and looked over your current outfit. Which was a large ratty t-shirt and stained sweatpants.
“Definitely don’t wear whatever you’re wearing right now.” He was trying to hold in a stupid giggle while you rolled your eyes and flipped him off.  
“I’m going to go shower. Please don’t be here when he shows up. Or at least don’t make it weird.” You begged.
“I’m taking Penny out tonight.” He said in response. His eyes lit up when he said her name. You couldn’t help but grin at him.
“Hmmm sailing I bet.”
Maverick glared at you before you ran up the stairs.
“Have fun!” You yelled with a smile on your face. You were happy for him finding love again.
You wondered if you would be next to find it.
******************************************************
“Flowers?”
You squeaked out, while coming face to face with a beautiful bouquet of daisies. You looked past the flowers to see Bradley grinning ear to ear.
You don’t think you’ve ever seen him so pleased with himself. He was wearing a white short sleeve button down and blue jeans that hugged his legs perfectly. Maverick had been right about dressing casually. You had decided on jeans and a baby blue tank top that complemented your figure.
“What? You thought I was going to show up to our first date empty handed?” Your eyes grew wide at the mention of date. You knew your cheeks had to be burning red through your makeup.
You didn’t know what else to do besides grab the flowers awkwardly. You prayed to god that you didn’t look as nervous as you felt.
“Thank you- I’ll just set them in a vase real quick and then we can go.” You turned around and you felt Bradley follow behind you. There was no way Maverick had a vase lying around so you just ended up grabbing the largest cup you could find.
“You cleaned up the place a little bit didn’t you?” Bradley was looking around with a small smile on his face. “The last time I was here it looked like shit.”
You were really trying to focus on what he was saying but your mind hadn’t stopped racing. He was so unashamedly showing you affection. You were not prepared for this.
“Yeah, I made sure that his place was at least habitable.” You joked softly. “And I’ve made sure that Mav hasn’t been eating protein bars for every meal.”
You gave Bradley a knowing look and set the flowers in a large glass on the counter. They made your heart flutter with something you couldn’t quite describe.
You walked around the small kitchen counter. Bradley was staring and he was not trying to hide it.
“You look beautiful.” His voice sounded slightly gruffer than before. You bit your lip and your heart beat up even faster than it had before.
“Jesus Bradshaw, you’re going to make me pass out from nervousness if you keep on flirting with me like this.” You gave him a small smile and backed up against the counter to ground yourself.
He looked impressed with himself, and he held out his hand for you to grab.
“No need to be nervous sweetheart.” You gave him wide eyes once again. You hesitated to reach out to and connect your hand to his. He was sure getting comfortable with calling you sweetheart.
All the hesitancy you felt was flooding into your brain at once. You really weren’t expecting him to be so blatant with his interest in you. His grin faltered when you didn’t immediately hold his hand.
“Are you sure about this?” You ask. “I know it’s just a date but after everything I told you last night-” He cut you off before you could finish.
“I’m sure.” His honey-colored eyes looked at yours again. “I promise.”
Fuck. It was hard to say no to that.
You nodded and grabbed his hand despite all the alarms in your brain telling you that spending time with Bradley was a bad idea. He smiled and led you out the front door. The afternoon breeze was comforting as soon as it swept across your cheeks. You snuck a glance at Bradley who just looked so damn good.
You weren’t surprised when he jogged Infront of you to open the car door.
“How proper.” You teased him as you climbed in.
“I’m not always this proper sweetheart.” He gave you a wink and shut the door.  You tried not to imagine what in the hell he meant by that.
Fuck, he was literally the most gorgeous thing you’ve ever laid your eyes on. It was going to be impossible to focus.
Bradley slid into the driver’s side and gave you a smile before pulling out of the driveway.  You buckled your seat belt and relaxed.
******************************************************
The restaurant was a popular spot-on base, Maverick had brought you a few times in the past. It was small but still bustling with people. You thanked your lucky stars he brought you somewhere casual and not an expensive restaurant.
The attraction between you and Bradley was becoming evident. Your legs were brushing against his while you chatted in a small booth.
“So how old are you?” You asked curiously. You had assumed he was near your age but honestly weren’t sure.
“33.” He responded. All you could think is that thirty-three looked fucking good on him.
“How old do you think I am?” You asked mischievously. Bradley’s eyes widened and then narrowed at you.
“I feel like this is a set up.” You giggled in response. Deciding to save him the embarrassment of guessing wrong, you told him your age.
“28. Birthdays in a few months.” You were hoping he would be happy with your age, and not run the other way to look for someone younger. Because you knew for a fact any woman would throw themselves at him if he asked. Twenty-eight was hardly old – but you weren’t getting any younger.
You shook your insecurities away and gazed up at Bradley. He was smiling at you.
“You know, I still don’t know what you did for work before you moved here.” You both skimmed over the fact that you didn’t move here – you escaped here.
“I’m a kindergarten teacher. I’ve been teaching for five years now.” Your heart both warmed and ached thinking about the students you left behind. You missed them so much.
“I’d love to get back to it, you know when things settle down.”
You hoped Bradley was impressed with your response. He was one of the best pilots in the nation and you were just a measly kindergarten teacher who will probably always make a below- average salary.
“That’s amazing.” Bradley said with a strong smile. You noticed a spark of adoration in his eyes. “I love kids. Not sure how I would do managing 20 at a time though.”
You tried not to melt into a puddle right then and there, because of course he loved kids.
“I think you’d do just fine.” You imagined him in a classroom full of kids.
Oh yeah, it was a bad idea to go down that road right now.
“You know, playing bartender has been fun though. I’m pretty sure I make double what I made as a kindergarten teacher. Plus I met you, a man with no concern for his own safety.” You were teasing him, but you knew he could take it.
Bradley rolled his eyes and sat back against the booth. He took a swig of his ice water and licked his lips.
“Can’t hurt steel baby”. You rolled your eyes at him. He had never called you baby before, but fuck, you could get used to that.  Being with him was so fucking effortless. You’d never experienced anything like it.
“Why’s it so easy with you?” You let out a breath and looked up into his eyes with wonder. He looked surprised for a split second.
“I don’t know.” He admitted to you softly. “But I don’t think we have to know why.”
You admired him for the way he spoke and calmed you. His optimism was something you craved, no- needed, right now. You changed the subject before your thoughts lingered further.
“So, what’s flying to you? You haven’t talked about it much.” You really were curious to know. If he was anything like Mav then being a pilot was an innate part of him.
“It’s everything.” He said, his eyes glazed over like he was in a different world. “My dad died in a flying accident.”
You nodded. You’d known that already just by being close to Mav.
“I joined because I wanted to be like my dad.” He had a small smile on his face. “I wanted to make him proud. To let his legacy, live on, you know?”
You nodded again.
“You’ve made him proud. I’m sure of it.” And you were. You knew Bradley’s father was a kind man. And any father would be proud to have a son like him.
“Do you want to be in the Navy forever?” You tentatively asked. Bradley’s sweet eyes looked deep in thought. You waited for his answer.
“I’ll finish out my 20 years with the Navy. I joined at 18 so I’ll be done soon.” He took a big breath and leaned his elbows over the table.
“I’ve thought about staying in for longer. I think my dad might have.” He said, his voice was still curious. “After this past Top Gun mission though- I um” He cleared his throat. “I really thought I was going to die and have no one to mourn me.”
Your heart ached at his words. I would mourn you now. Now that I know you. Is what you wanted to say. But you kept quiet.
“I don’t want to be like Maverick and not be able to settle down. Not have anyone to come home to.” He rubbed the back of his neck with one hand aimlessly. “I’ve never even had a dog.” He said sadly. “I mean how depressing is that? I’ve always wanted one, but I’ve never been in the same place long enough to have one.”
Your eyes met his and you were feeling all the sadness in the world for him. Loneliness was radiating off him.
“Maybe it’s time to focus on what you want.” You said softly.
“Don’t stay stuff like that. I’ll end up at the animal shelter with five dogs in no time.” He smirked and you were grateful to see his mood lifted slightly. You’d rather get punched in the gut than see him upset.
“You like the beach?” He asked, his fingers twiddling together. You realized that Bradley didn’t like to sit still for long. He was always touching or fiddling with something. Your leg included. His foot brushed up your calf softly.
“I love it.” You replied. “But I’m a shit swimmer.”
“Well, I’m thinking a nice long romantic walk on the beach. No swimming involved.”
You blushed at his flirtatious comment. You wondered if you would ever stop getting flustered by him. The idea of getting used to him flattering you seemed impossible. Bradley stood up and stretched his arms high.
“Whoa, are you trying to dine and dash?” You were joking, but also confused on why he was standing to leave when the waiter hadn’t even brought the check over.
“I knew you’d put up a fight to pay. So I gave them my card ahead of time.” His cheeks were a little red and your heart fluttered. He knew you too well apparently, because you had planned to pay for at least half.
“Well, thank you. I’ll buy next time.”
He smirked in response, basically giving you the look of “Yeah that’s not going to happen��.
Your mind wandered to the last first date you went on. It had been with Tim three years ago now. You were so young and excited. You wished you could warn your younger self to run like hell the other way.
Everything with Bradley was so vastly different than what you experienced the last few years. The way he talked, walked, touched you…
You were fucking terrified. But the electricity that ran through your veins when you were with him was too tempting to say no to. Running from Bradley didn’t seem like an option.
*********************************************************
“It looks a little windy out there, do you want my jacket just in case?” Bradley asked thoughtfully.
You were parked in a beach parking lot looking out at the waves. It was breathtaking. The sun was about to set, streaks of pink and purple were painted in the sky. But the views of the water weren’t easing the anxiety you felt.
“Sure, I’ll take it just in case.” You cringed at how shaky your voice was. You weren’t nervous about him giving you his jacket – more like you couldn’t stop imagining terror filled scenarios on the beach. Bradley seemed to notice, and you watched his smile turn into a frown.
“If you want to go home, I understand.” He said with a strained voice. You could practically feel the insecurity radiating from him. It was the first time all night he was anything but confident. He was probably figuring you didn’t want to spend more time with him, which was the furthest thing from the truth.
“No please don’t.” You hesitated and ran your hand through your hair. “I honestly just haven’t been this far from the base since I moved. It feels weird.” You were lying about that part. It didn’t feel weird, it felt scary as fuck. You had been unsafe for so long and then you moved to the base, where you felt incredibly safe. Leaving it felt venerable.
“I’ve got you sweetheart.” He reached over for your hand. You gladly let him hold it. The same safety you felt every time you held his hand washed over you.
“I know its silly. I just feel safe there.” His warm eyes locked to yours.
“It’s not silly. It makes sense.” He rubbed your hand gently. “We can go back to one of the beaches on the base.” He offered. It blew you away that he wasn’t angry with you. That he wasn’t freaking out over having to drive you here – only for you to hesitate to get out of the damn car. You fucking hated Tim more every minute.
“No. I know I’ll be okay with you.” You said. You meant it too. You knew that if you were in danger Bradley wouldn’t hesitate to take whatever that danger was away. It was the kind of man he was.
Confidence began to grow in you. You gave his hand a squeeze.
“Race you to the water.” You smirked. His eyes went wide and before he could even say a word you were out the door. Giggles erupted from you as you ran as hard as you could towards the water.
Your sandals were slowing you down God damnit! You slipped them off mid run and looked over your shoulder.
Bradley was just feet away from you, with a big smile on his face. He had thrown his shoes off too. He was obviously just as competitive as you were.
“You’re slow as shit!” You yell loudly, speeding up and screeching when you felt the cold water on your feet.
Bradley reached the water seconds after you. He was panting and laughing at the same time.
“You cheated.” He exclaimed, shaking his head. You smirked at him.
“No excuses.” You retorted back between fits of laughter.  You couldn’t remember the last time you’d felt so childlike and free. It had been so damn long.
You both caught your breath for a moment before deciding to walk along the shore. Bradley rolled up his jeans and walked in the water while you walked beside him.
You reached for his hand, and he gladly opened it for you to hold. Your shoulders brushed into each other’s as you walked.
“It’s beautiful here.” You said, looking out at the waves and setting sun in the distance. The beach was not crowded. Only a few people here and there watching the sunset.
“It’s one of my favorites.” He said, a smile on his face.
“We’re going to have to practice your swimming skills if we keep coming here.” He said playfully. You groaned and trudged your feet.
“The ocean is pretty to look at. But swim in? Fucking terrifying.”
Bradley pondered what you said and twisted his lips.
“You know what. The ocean is kind of terrifying. BUT- it’s still fun.” He grinned. You scoffed at him.
“Sounds like what someone who flies a million feet in the air going a bajillion miles an hour for fun would say.” He laughed and stared up at the sky.
“Would you ever go up in a jet with me?” You looked up at him and melted. You didn’t think you could say no to those eyes ever.
“I would.” You said back. “But I’d probably vomit all over you.”
“How romantic.” He joked. His eyebrows wriggled like they always did when he flirted with you.
The pounding of footsteps behind you caused you to stiffen and grip his arm. Alarm bells went off in your brain which made you practically glue yourself to Bradley’s body. Bradley immediately moved you Infront of him, blocking you from the steps.
You felt air woosh past the side of you when you looked to realize the footsteps you heard were from an innocent jogger passing by.
You let out an embarrassed sigh and tried to let the anxiety within you die down.
You had thought maybe he’d found you.
“Sorry” you said, referencing the death grip you had on his arm. You let go and cringed at the amount of circulation you cut off from his arm. He moved away from you slightly, but he still towered over you protectively.
“You’re alright. Don’t worry about it.” He gave you a small smile, but you could tell by is eyes he was worried about you. You had both stopped walking- now just staring out at the water and the darkening sky. You leaned into Bradley’s shoulder, this time with no death grip.
“You wanna sit down?” You asked, gesturing to the dry sand a few feet away.
“Yes please.”
Bradley was first to sit in the sand while you clumsily plopped down next to him. You saw Bradley spread his feet apart and gesture towards the space between his legs.
You raised an eyebrow.
“You want me to sit there?” You asked nervously. You looked down at his lap and you really weren’t sure if you’d be able to control yourself sitting there.
“Yes, it’s the perfect sunset watching position.” He teased. His cocky side was showing, and you loved it. It reminded you to let loose every one and a while.
“Fine. But I’m not sitting in your lap, I’m sitting in the sand.” You said back to him before crawling over his leg- which felt more exposing than you realized it would.
I mean you were on all fours and you were bending over his damn lap.
You situated yourself between his legs. Your back pressed against his chest and your legs laid out in-between his long ones. His arms were sitting at his sides, and you could tell he was just itching to wrap them around you. You grabbed them yourself with a boost of confidence.
You took them in your hands and led them around your waste. He pulled you in closer, his chin softly resting on top of your head. Your body stiffened slightly at the closeness, and the overwhelming and unexpected feeling of his large arms heavy around you. He instantly loosened his hold around you.
“Is this okay?” He asked softly. You took a deep breath and nodded. You relaxed against him and you slowly felt his arms become less tense around you. You both fit together like you were always made to be this close.
“Its amazing.” You whispered back. You could feel the vibrations Bradley’s body omitted when he spoke. The vibrations would swoon you into a deep sleep if you weren’t careful.
You were both quiet for a while, enjoying the comfortable silence. You embraced the feeling of being completely surrounded by Bradley. His smell, his touch, his voice – his time. It was like a gift from god to even be a part of who he was. Even just for a moment.
Bradley cleared his throat and lifted his chin from the top of your head. You felt his body sit up a little straighter, causing your smaller one to follow. His thumb started to rub circles into your arm softly. Something you were realizing he did to calm you.
“I didn’t want to bring him up.” Bradley said quietly. “But I have to help you somehow. I can’t- I can’t just sit back and let you be scared.” Your heart both ached with pain and soared with admiration at his words.
On one hand you fucking hated that the pain you were facing seeped into the heaven that was being with Bradley. But on the other hand, you felt a warm feeling inside of you knowing he wanted to protect you.
“Being with you helps.” You gave him a soft smile. “I’ve been so isolated since coming here. You are one of the only people who ha cared to know me.” You felt Bradley nod, but his body still didn’t relax.
“It doesn’t end this for you though.” You could tell he was frustrated by the sound of the cracking in his voice. He tucked you closer into his body. You nuzzled your head against his neck, seeking comfort in him. You weren’t sure how to ease his worries. You could barely survive with your own.
“Maverick and I hired a private investigator when I moved here. He’s been keeping tabs on Tim.” You said twiddling your fingers nervously. Nothing felt less sexy than talking about an ex- boyfriend. But you knew this wasn’t a normal first date. That nothing about this situation was normal.
“Apparently, he’s in Colorado. After I escaped, he left his job and started looking for me.” You swallowed harshly. “I also think the cops he worked with were actually starting to become suspicious of him.”
A little too fucking late for that concern now.
“Why don’t I go find him? I can find him and bring him to the cops. Since his police buddies aren’t doing their fucking job.” His voice was angry, and you could feel his chest tensing behind you.
You were angry too; you were angry the first time you went to the police station to try to report him. They had acted like they believed you- wrote down everything Tim had ever done to you. But the next day somehow Tim found out and almost killed you. He had made you retract the whole report and act like you did it because “you were overreacting and crazy”.
“No.” you said firmly. “He’s dangerous. I’m not letting you get hurt because of me.” You gripped his hands on your waist tightly.
“Plus, it’s not that easy. He would have been arrested a long time ago if it was. We need evidence.” You were gritting your teeth trying to fight the images popping in your head.
Don’t go there.
“What’s the plan then?” Bradley asked.
“John is working on putting evidence together to have him arrested. I had hundreds of files on my phone and home security cameras that could have been proof.” Your blood boiled beneath your skin. “But Tim found them all and made me delete them.” You spared Bradley the details about what Tim did to you afterwards.
He took a deep breath and nuzzled his chin into your head softly. You swore you could feel his lips brushing against your hair.
“We’ll get him sweetheart.” His voice was strained, and you noticed his grip on your waist was still tense.
You were astonished that he wanted you despite the mess surrounding you- Despite the healing that still needed to be done- Despite all the baggage you carried.
“I know.” You said. Even though you really didn’t know. You knew there was a chance he would never be arrested for his crimes. It was the case for many, many women in your position.
“When this is all over…” you hesitated and wondered if you should entertain the fantasy idea that you had.
“We should go somewhere. Anywhere.” You smiled out at the sunset Infront of you.
Bradley hummed with happiness behind you.
“Ever been to Montana?” He asked. You shook your head against his chest. You’d seen pictures before though. You thought of green hills, wildlife and mountains. It made you relax just imagining the place.
“No. I’ve heard its beautiful though.”
“My parents bought a cabin there before I was born. It needs a lot of work– but it’s nestled in the mountains next to a lake. I’ll take you there.”
You looked up at him and he leaned down to look at you. Your lips were so close to touching you could almost taste him. You could tell Bradley was weighing his options on whether he should kiss you or not. You blushed and looked away from him and back at the ocean.
You wanted him so badly, but you were so afraid of what that meant.
“That’s the first place I want to go.” You said softly.
“Then we’ll go.” He gave you a squeeze and his arms loosened. He took a deep breath behind you.
“I’m leaving for scheduled training tomorrow.”
His words jolted you. The immediate ache you felt knowing he would be gone was equally as jolting.
“It’s nothing high risk or anything. Just routine training on the water. I’ll probably be out of the sky most of the time.”
You knew that he wasn’t telling the entire truth since any kind of training carried risk. He had to know that firsthand.
“How long will you be gone?” You glanced up at the ocean and saw that the sun was almost under the horizon line, causing the sky to darken around the both of you.
“10 days.” He said roughly. “It’s weird, I’ve never had anyone to tell when I’m going out for training or a mission.” His voice was heavy.
You lifted your body to turn around to face him. You sat criss- crossed in-between his legs. Luckily he was so large that you could fit between them. You were no longer looking at the ocean, but damn your view now was 10 times better.
“Well, now you have me to tell. I promise to annoy you every night with iMessage games when you’re done with work.” You grinned widely. You hoped you weren’t pushing the line. It was possible he would be going home from this date and never want to see you again.
You looked up at him and grinned.
Yeah, you didn’t have to worry about that.
Bradley was smiling ear to ear. The curls in his hair were softly blowing in the breeze. You never wanted to kiss someone so badly in your life.
“The night I come back I’ll be knocking on your doorstep.” He said with a sheepish smile. You bit you lip and looked at the sand.
“Honestly, I’d be disappointed if you didn’t.”
*********************************************************
The drive home was quiet, but Bradley played oldies the whole way home. He held your hand with his free one and you marveled at how just a simple touch of his hand brought you peace.
He parked the car in the driveway and before you could get out, he turned the ignition off and jogged to your door. It was dark now, but his white button down was clearly visible through the shadows.
“Well thank you.” You remarked, as he opened the door for you. He bowed playfully and shut the door when you stepped out. You both walked to the front door silently.
You were scared he might kiss you. Scared, excited and everything in-between. Maverick’s car wasn’t home. You mentally thanked god for that.
“Stop thinking so loud.” Bradley said teasingly. Your cheeks warmed.
“Sorry.” You squeaked. I
“I want to kiss you. But I won’t.” He said softly. His hands were hovering at his sides. You wanted to reach out and wrap them around you- but you were frozen.
He looked at you like you meant something to him. Like you were some kind of angel.
“I want to kiss you, but I’m scared.” Your voice cracked softly. Bradley’s eyes softened and you looked at the ground nervously.
“You don’t have to be scared of me.” He said, his voice almost inaudible. You twisted your lips together and tried to keep your emotions in check. How the hell could you explain how you were feeling?
“I’m not scared of you; I’m scared of everything else.” You said shakily. Tears were filling your eyes, but you refused to cry. You felt self-hatred brew in your chest.
“I’m so tired of being afraid.” You let out a bitter laugh, that sounded more like a cry.
“You won’t be afraid forever.” Bradley stepped close to you and dared to reach out and delicately tuck your hair behind your ear.
“I’m going to protect you.” His hand rested on the side of your shoulder now, gripping it softly. “And you’re strong, you are so fucking strong. I hope you know that.”
Suddenly your body was getting brought into his broad chest. He wrapped his arms around your back and held you tightly against him. You were completely surrounded by him, it made you shudder with warmth. His large hands rubbed your back in small circles.
“God I’m sorry. This is so embarrassing.” You said between sniffles. You fully gave into his embrace, though. You let yourself bask in the protective box he held you in.
“No need to apologize.” He said, without any kind of hesitation.
You weren’t sure how long you had been standing there in his arms- but long enough for both of you to have ended up leaning against the wall instead of standing upright. You took in a shaky breath.
“Thank you for taking me out tonight. I really did have a great time.” You said shyly. You pulled away from his chest, but neither of you let go of each other.
“Thank you for saying yes.” He said back, giving you a quick wink. The sly smile you were all too familiar with reappeared on his face. There was nothing more beautiful than that.
“You know, a kiss on the cheek doesn’t scare me as much.” You said softly.
Bradley’s eyes perked up and you grinned mischievously.
“Oh yeah?” He asked playfully. You took the risk to glance at his lips. God damn they looked perfect.
You nodded and batted your eyelashes expectantly.
“You sure?” he asked again, hesitating before leaning in at your nod.
His lips pressed softly onto your cheek. Your heart was pounding out of your chest.
You meant it when you said you were scared to kiss him- but that didn’t mean you weren’t going to do it.
Fuck it.
Before he could pull away you wrapped your hand around the back of his neck and turned his lips to yours. Hoards of butterflies flew through your stomach when you finally felt his lips press against you.
You kissed him like you meant it. Not too rough, but not too soft either.
You kissed him like you were scared of what the kiss meant but fucking enthralled with how it felt.
He kissed you with gentleness, but with so much need at the same time.
You moved your hand to his chest and gripped his shirt. You didn’t want the high to end. You wanted him to keep kissing you the way he was, to go lower to your neck, to your chest -
But he pulled away- your eyes met, and you both were breathless.
“Sweetheart, I want to keep kissing you but…I don’t want to get carried away. ” His gentle eyes wandered over your face. His hand was still cupping your cheek softly. You were still so,so, so close to his lips.
You didn’t want to get carried away either. Well you definitely wanted to get fucked by Bradley Bradshaw, but that would not be happening tonight.
“Good point.” You said breathlessly. Bradley let out a laugh and you bit your lip nervously. You knew your cheeks must be flushed.
“I’ll miss you when I’m gone.” He said softly. You squeezed his arms in agreement.
“Be safe while you’re out there alright? You can’t leave me out to dry like this.” You half joked. Bradley chuckled let out a big sigh.
“I’ll come see you the moment I get back.” He said assuredly. You took a final look at him before stepping out of his arms completely. You felt an immediate loss of warmth, causing you to frown.
“You better.” You said, eyes squinted.
“I promise.”
*********************************************************
Bradley had been gone for 7 days.
You tried to act like his absence didn’t affect you that much. But somehow the days seemed like fucking weeks, and your shifts at the Hard Deck were a lot less entertaining than before.
Maverick kept teasing you that you looked like a lost puppy around the house. You flipped him off every time and reminded him of all the times he moped around when he couldn’t see Penny.
Just three more days.
You were minutes away from closing the bar for the night. It was Saturday night, so Penny was closing with you. Maverick had offered to drive you to work and pick you up just so he could see Penny. As much as it grossed you out to see all their PDA, you were so damn happy for Maverick. Penny was his version of settling down – his forever.
Your phone pinged and you smiled when you realized it was Bradley. You both had been texting each other non-stop since he left.
You hadn’t really texted about anything particular, just about his day and yours. But you fucking loved it, and every time you saw his name pop on your screen you stopped everything to open it.
Bradley 🐔 : For someone who keeps challenging me to connect four you are pretty shit at it.
You: I’m just warming up!
Bradley🐔: Warming up for 7 days straight?
You: Just have to find my groove.
Bradley🐔: Just admit you suck at connect four
You: absolutely not
You responded to him and slipped your phone in your pocket. Texting Bradley about iMessage games should not be the priority while you were on the clock.
“You all done?” asked Penny. She had boxes in her hands so high she couldn’t even see Infront of her. You laughed and ran to her rescue to take a few boxes.
“Yup!” You replied, piling boxes in your hands.
You both carried them to the back room and let out a big sigh unanimously.
“Tonight was busy.” Penny said, her voice exhausted. But somehow after a 12 hour day at the bar she still looked stunning.
“Probably one of the busiest nights I’ve worked.” And you had cash in your pocket to prove it. You both heard a knock on the bar counter.
“Hey ladies!”
It was Maverick ready to take you both home. Penny’s mood instantly brightened, and you gave her a smirk.
“Going out tonight?” You asked. She glared at you playfully and skipped out of the room. You followed behind her, dreaming about the fresh sheets on your bed. You were going to sleep so damn good tonight.
But then you saw Mav. Something was wrong.
You stopped a few feet away from him and shook your head.
“What’s wrong?” you asked shakily. Your heart dropped to your stomach when he looked at you with remorse- with a look that said I’m sorry.
“Mav, tell me what’s going on. Please.” You stepped closer, and Mav reached out to grab your arm.
“John called.”
You froze. All the blood from your face drained immediately. Your body went ice cold and you felt vomit rising in your throat.
“Tim’s in California.”
********************************************************
Part three out of four is up next! Thank you so much for all the love. I’m looking forward to relasing the final two parts.

relax (18+)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
JJ Maybank x Reader
Bubble bath with your boyfriend and he can’t keep his hands off of you
Warnings: Unprotected sex, bath sex, vaginal fingering, pet names, begging, slight breeding kink, hair pulling, heavy praise kink
You sunk back into the warm water and relaxed into your boyfriends chest. He was warm against you, his hands coming instantly to your waist.
“Hi beautiful,” He mumbled into your neck and as you leaned back into him, “Long day?”
You moaned at the feeling of his lips on the soft skin of your neck. “You don’t even know.”
He hummed, continuing to pepper kisses to the sensitive expanse of your throat. “Oh I’m sure.”
“Had to deal with my coworkers bitching and moaning all day.” You sighed as his hands came up to grope your breasts, droplets of water falling from them to the surface of the water.
JJ only hummed again, kneading still at the flesh of your tits. Rolling your nipples between his fingers, he leaned in to kiss the area just behind your ear.
“So glad to relax with you tonight J,” You moaned, rocking your hips to feel his hardness pressing into your ass and lower back.
He smiled at you innocently, sliding a hand from your breast down your stomach to stop just above your clit. “Always happy to help my girl.”
You gasped as his fingertips ghosted over the spot you so desperately needed him to touch.
JJ throbbed against you at your whines, grinding into your back. “Tell me what you need baby.”
A finger dragged down your pussy from top to bottom, teasing your hole. It circled your clit once, then went back to resting just above it.
“Please touch me J,” You cried, bucking your hips at the loss of sensation.
“Only since you asked so nicely.”
Your boyfriends skilled fingers went to work on your pussy, and you buried your face into his shoulder.
“So good J,” You mumbled through whines, “Thank you…thank you.”
His free hand came to your face, turning you to look at him. Your eyes met his blue ones, and you felt yourself clench around his fingers. “Look at me pretty girl. I wanna see your face when you cum for me.”
Your body shook at his words, and you sobbed in pleasure. Orgasm washing over you, you sunk back into him.
“That’s it baby, good job.” He removed his fingers from you, sliding his hands to your hips where he groped the fat there.
He lifted you gently, and you felt him lining you up with his painfully hard dick. You cried at the tip pushing inside. “It’s okay baby. You can take it. Take it all for me.”
The water in the tub splashed out as he pulled you down to meet his hips. You were too overwhelmed to notice or care. He was filling you to the brim and you loved it.
You cries were incoherent and loud. Fingers gripping the side of the tub, your knuckles were turning white in your fight to keep yourself from screaming.
“Let it all out baby,” JJ rocked his hips, fucking up into you, “You’re so fucking beautiful.”
The blonds hand came to your lower back, pushing you slightly so you were bent down. He fisted your hair at the scalp, using it as leverage to pull you back against him.
“Holy fuck, “ He moaned, “I’m gonna cum in you baby. Fill you the fuck up.”
“Please J,” You bawled, “Fill me up, get me pregnant. Please cum in me.”
You felt the warm liquid flush inside you, and your own orgasm was triggered. White flashed your vision, and all your muscles tightened and relaxed.
Strong arms came to wrap around you, pulling you back to lie down. “You did so good baby,” your boyfriend kissed your cheek, “Lemme get you cleaned up before the water gets cold, yeah?”

jake helps his drunk girlfriend
Jake “Hangman” Seresin Drabble
Words: 438
Notes/Warnings: mentions of alcohol use, spelling mistakes, im sure. I know it's the shortest thing ever. 
Requested for the under 500 word drabble thing about a millennium ago, and it’s embarrassing how long it took me to post it. My bad :(
---
“Damn, she’s out cold, huh?” Rooster said from the driver’s seat of his truck after parking it in the driveway of your home. Both he and Jake were twisted at the waist, peering back at you through the middle opening between the front seats.
Rooster’s words didn’t stir you; neither did Jake’s when he said, “She’s had a lot going on lately; hasn’t slept right in a week. I thought she was going to pass out earlier, but she was determined not to miss Phoenix’s birthday.”
The weight of your head had it lolling to the side.
“The alcohol probably didn’t help,” Jake sighed and unbuckled his seatbelt. “I better carry her. She won’t make it one step.”
“You want me to get the front door?”
“Yea, if you don’t mind.”
The pilots’ hopped out of the car. Jake went to the door behind his, pulled it open, and reached inside to grab you. He helped you stand briefly before he bent at the waist, tucked his arm under your knees and lifted you up, allowing your shoulder blades to rest across his other arm.
A little whimper escaped your lips as you snuggled into him, a hand instinctively reaching up to rest behind his neck. “I want my boyfriend,” you mumbled, your eyes still closed.
Jake snickered. “I am your boyfriend, baby.”
“Oh.”
He turned to his side, squeezing your bodies through the front door.
“You need anything else?” Rooster asked, and Jake shook his head.
“But thanks,” he replied. “And thanks for the ride.”
“No problem. See you guys tomorrow.”
 —
“Alright, baby, clothes off,” Jake said as he worked to shimmy you out of your dress. You were absolutely no help, sitting on the edge of the mattress and letting your limbs fall like a rag doll. “I can honestly say I’ve never had such a hard time getting you naked.”
He yanked the dress up over your head and tossed it to the side, then reached behind you to unclasp your bra, allowing the straps to slide down your shoulders and bare your breasts.
“As much as I hate to cover these up,” he said, “you’ll get cold in the night and then you’ll hate me.”
“Mhmm.”
He slipped one of his t-shirts over your body and helped you recline on the mattress before dragging the duvet up to your neck. Then he ripped off his own clothes until he was down to his underwear, got in bed beside you and pulled you close.
“Love you, Jake,” you whispered, nuzzling your nose against his neck.
He kissed your forehead in return. “I love you, beautiful.”

Yes Ma’am
Tumblr media
Author’s Note: I feel like Rooster would definitely say yes ma’am all the time in a sweet way! Also italics are flashbacks
Pairing: Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw x Reader
Summary: Rooster makes you flustered and he knows it ;)
Warnings: None!! A lot of fluff and implied smut
...
You don’t know why it makes you so hot and bothered, but it does. And of course he noticed. The one and only Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw. Damn him. It had happened randomly one day, and your reaction was engraved in his brain.
You were cleaning up at the bar and couldn’t reach some cleaning supplies. The whole group stayed behind and helped you clean up despite you telling them it was fine.
“Hey Bradshaw, can you come help me reach this?” You asked, struggling to reach.
“Yes ma’am” He replied simply and grabbed the supplies down.
You immediately went red. Something about those two words made you suddenly forget how to breath. Especially those two words directed at you, coming from that man.
Rooster noticed how you reacted. He didn’t mean it in a flirty way but he took note of how flustered it made you. 
Since that day, Rooster has made sure to say that to you as often as he could. You reacted the same every time. He loved it. He would even try to get you to ask something so he could respond with it.
“Hey y/n, do you like my new shirt?” He had asked you one day
“It looks just like your other Hawaiian shirts. That’s new?” You asked confused
“Yes ma’am, it is” He smirked at you
“Oh- uh- well its’s very- uh nice yeah..” You stuttered and started walking away fast.
He laughed and watched as you practically ran away.
A few days later everyone was having drinks together and you were sat next to Rooster. 
“Is that the new beer we just got in?” You asked him, wondering because you wanted to try it too.
“Yes ma’am”, he let out a small laugh and looked you right in the eyes, “Wanna try it?”
“Oh uh it’s ok, I don’t wanna take any of your drink” You said as heat spread through your body. You were sure you looked just like a tomato. 
“Don’t worry darlin’, here, try it” He held the cup up to you and you took a sip. He watched you the entire time.
“That’s really good!” You stated
“Yes ma’am, very good” Rooster was wanting to see how flustered he could get you.
You couldn’t take it. Your body felt like it was on fire. This man was killing you.
“Alright I think I’m gonna head out guys” You said quickly and left. Before you got to your car you felt Rooster grabbing your hand. You turned around to look at him and he kept walking forward til your back hit the car. He put his arms on either side of you, trapping you.
You were looking up at him through your eyelashes, unsure of what was happening.
“Bradley?” You said
“Yes ma’am?” He replied
“Can you kiss me?” You asked as you ran your hands up his chest and around his neck
“Yes ma’am” He groaned and started to kiss you. You two made out for a while just like that. His hands roamed your body and yours stayed put on his neck. Eventually he pulled away
“So, “Yes ma’am” does it for ya?” He joked with you.
“Ughhh I don’t even know, when you say it it’s my weakness for some reason” You looked down embarrassed. That comment went straight to his ego.
“Oh so it’s only when I say it?” He laughed “I’ll say it all day long if it means I get to kiss you”
Your heart fluttered and you smiled at him.
“So, can I have another kiss?” He asked you
“Yes, sir” You replied cheekily. 
He groaned and put his head on your shoulder.
“I get it now because if you say that again, I’ll have to take you back to my place” He said in a low strained voice. You leaned into him.
“Yes sir” You whispered in his ear. Oh yeah, you were in for a long night.
...
Let me know if you want to be added to the taglist :)

Not welcome
Part 1
Warnings; cussing, mentioning of murder and abandonment
Not proofread
Tumblr media
“How did you find me?” You finally ask after sitting in silence of 3 minutes. He sits in the living room across from you. “Why did you leave?” He quietly says. “What?” You question him not hearing him completely. “Why did you leave? Why did you take my child away from me?” He’s said louder this time making you flinch at his voice. He notices and his face softens. “Where is he?” You don’t look him in his eyes, barely giving a response. “Where is he?” You could feel rage in his voice.
“He’s asleep in his crib” “Rafe, no.” You watch him walking into the hallway opening doors and finally finding his nursery. His face softens when he sees the baby. Rafe walks toward Nikolai, and tilts his head looking at his son in awe. Rafe couldn’t hold in his tears and they finally leave his eyes and he cries. “He’s so beautiful, why did you keep him away?” “My beautiful son,” he sobs looking at Nikolai.
Rafe walks out of the bedroom and quietly shuts the door not to wake Nikolai. His eyes finally meet yours, “Now tell me. Why did you leave?” You finally speak out loud. “I didn’t want my son to meet his murderer of a father.” He breathes in deeply. “What the fuck are you talking about?” “Don’t you fucking lie to me Rafe. You’re a fucking murderer and my son shouldn’t be around you!” He finally lets out a laugh. It confuses you. “You think you can fucking leave me? Take my fucking child away from me? I can fucking sue you, don’t make me take you to court.”
You didn’t feel threatened. “And how do you intend to do that? Because I know some people that will admit to you killing Peterkin, and they don’t care in the world if you go to prison.” You admit to him.
He closes his eyes for a bit and thinks. He takes a breath, and finally says something. “Let me be in his life y/n, please. When I found out you were gone, I went fucking insane. I didn’t know where you were, I didn’t know if you and my child were ok. Once I fucking found you, I felt relieved. I want to be in his life, please.” He pleads and begs you.
“I will think about it Rafe, but if you fuck this up, don’t think you will be getting this chance.” He looks at you, “I’m his father, I should be able to have opportunities to see my son.”
He was right, “Just give me time and I will let you know.” “Thank you, but you are gonna come with me. You are coming back to the house, you’re gonna live with me and you will give me a chance.”

Imagine Handing Out Candy With Hangman
Tumblr media
Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin X FemReader
Rating: T+
Warnings: Suggestive themes, steam
Word Count: 1k
Taglist: @chaoticassidy @the-marshals-wife @hotch-meeeeeuppppp​ 
The doorbell was ringing again as you peeled yourself from Hangman’s embrace. He glared at the door in disgust as you tried to straighten your clothes before grabbing the candy bowl.
  “Trick or treat,” the group of costumed children greeted holding open half full bags.
“You guys look awesome,” you said taking handfuls of candy and placing them in each bag.
“Happy Halloween,” you called while a chorus of ‘thank you’ came from the retreating children. Hangman was leaning back still glaring nastily.
“Can we turn off the porch light now,” he asked in a huff. “No. I still have a half full bowl and two more bags of candy in the kitchen,” you answered used to his tantrums.
“We’ll eat it,” he tried. He’d been really clingy this evening and you had yet to put your finger on what was causing this sudden bout of neediness.
“Oh no,” you snorted sitting back down. “Your superiors would be super mad at me if you couldn’t squeeze into the cockpit anymore because of Halloween candy.”
He laughed nuzzling into your neck while you were preparing to hit play of the movie you were barely watching and Hangman was ignoring completely. You hadn’t gotten comfy just yet when the doorbell ran again. You jolted upwards causing Hangman to lose his temper a little. He cursed and you shushed him.
“Shut up Jake,” you snarled. “There’s kids at the door.”
He always knew he was in serious trouble if you used his name instead of his callsign. You handed out several more handfuls of candy to the trick or treaters before taking the bowl in the kitchen for a refill.
You were not happy with him at the moment and needed a moment to cool off. Hangman watched you leave knowing that if he didn’t do something quick he was going to be in the doghouse for the rest of tonight and most of tomorrow. He listened to you shuffling around in the kitchen to open another bag of treats. He sat there for several moments before easing his way into the next room.
“I’m sorry,” he apologized not wanting to fight on Halloween. He was about to say something else when the doorbell rang again. You sniffed trying to tamp down the sudden emotions. Hangman took the candy bag from your hand. “Go take care of them and I’ll get this bag open for you.”
You nodded before picking the bowl back up and taking it to the front door. Your demeanor changed at the large group of small children. You cooed and fawned over them, especially when a few of them mustered up the courage to hug you in a thank you. Now that he had a different view Hangman really enjoyed seeing you interact with the children for the first time. Sure he had seen you answer the door from his position on the couch, but all he could think about was that you weren’t in his arms lavishing affection on him. But now as he saw from a different angle his heart began to hammer in his chest and something stirred in his gut. You both had been married for a couple years now and this was really the first Halloween he was getting to spend with you. That’s why he was a little jealous by your attention being taken from him. You were used to handing out candy and you loved it, being able to see all the children and giving them a treat to enjoy.
 He begun to think about kids of his own with you. Little Seresins running around calling you momma and him daddy. He shook his head, heating up a little to where it would be embarrassing to hide if he couldn’t control himself and his thoughts. You stood back up closing the door after telling them goodbye when you returned to the kitchen in a slightly better mood.
“Apology accepted,” you said. “Now fill it up and go watch the movie and I’ll go sit outside since you can’t behave yourself.”
“I’ll sit outside with you,” he blurted. “I want to help hand out candy.”
“Is that so,” your eyebrow raised. “All night all you’ve wanted to do was try to get my candy.”
He chuckled, “I can’t help you’re so beautiful.”
“Charmer.”
True to his word Hangman did go outside and sit with you to watch the passing families. It was a lot more fun outside he had to admit. Especially as you nuzzled against him for warmth. The stars began to flicker quietly in the blackened skies and you handed candy with gusto. Hangman intertwined his fingers in yours, his thoughts of children of his own came back.
  “Hey,” he started, “what do you think about kids?”
“Hmm,” you thought looking at him. “I think their adorable. Especially in their little costumes. I mean one was dressed as a hot dog!”
He chuckled kissing you on the cheek, “What about kids of our own?”
You almost dropped the bowl but clumsily catching it to where only a few pieces fell. Hangman picked them up placing them back inside the bowl. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say I didn’t dream about it,” you blushed unable to look at him.
“Do you wanna try,” he asked now clearly embarrassed as well. Your fingers fumbled with the rim of the candy bowl. Excitement and terror warred inside your mind and heart. Sometimes Hangman could be so forward it left you speechless, but you figured that after knowing him and being married to him for so long would make you used to it.
“I,” you started trembling but not from the cold. “I would. I would like that a lot.”
“Next kid gets all the candy,” he purred licking under your ear making you squeak. True to his word Hangman dumped all the candy into the next kid’s bag that came along before whisking you inside where he slammed the door shut and locked it. He turned the porch light off and all the lights downstairs. You had a few night lights in the hallway so neither one of you would trip in the night. Jake was more than ready to start working on the next generation of Seresins. Needless to say his Halloween was full of treats.

Y/N stood in the back patio of The Hard Deck watching the moon's reflection ripple off the water soaking the sand, the muffled sound of music and laugher grew louder before being cut off again notifying her that someone had joined her outside.
"I have got to say lieutenant I never pegged you as someone who couldn't take criticism." Maverick's voice filled the silence causing Y/N to whip around. 
"Sir?" She asked confused.
"The training exercise." He reminded holding out a bottle of beer towards her. 
"Oh no sir." Y/N denied with a slight laugh. "Trust me I've taken criticisms all my life."
the two stood there in a comfortable silence for a while listening to the sound of the waves and crickets. Y/N couldn't help but think that this moment could have been one of many shared between them if her mother hadn't stolen that chance from them, she wondered if it would feel as special as it did right now if it was the fiftieth time instead of the first...She liked to think it would.
"If you don't mind I'd like to ask you a somewhat personal question." Maverick once again breaking the silence, continuing after receiving a nod. "You and Rooster...."
"Me and Rooster...." Y/N repeated laughed. "More like you and Rooster." She replied referring to the stand off they had during training that almost lead to both their deaths. 
"Yeah. it's just I saw you guys in there the other night and it seemed like there was something there." He explained. "Look I know it isn't my business but Rooster means a lot to me and I just want to make sure that when I put this team together they are gonna be able to work as a team."
He cares about Rooster? There was obviously some kind of history there, which made Y/N wonder how they could both care for someone yet they never crossed paths. Normally she wouldn't have answered but she convinced herself that Maverick was right, if they were going to work as a team they couldn't let things like this fester, though maybe she just wanted him to know her better, no matter how bad of a light it would paint her in she wanted to him to know who she was. 
"Rooster and I were....Involved a few years back, stationed in the same place, and I hurt him...no matter how much I want to pretend I didn't." She revealed being met with a confused look. "We were pretty serious and one day I put a request...and I left him...he didn't know until I was already gone." 
"Ouch."
"Yeah I'm not proud of it." Y/N hung her head when she remembers her actions. "I was too caught up in the past to let myself be happy with what I had in the present." 
"Trust me kid I know exactly what you mean." Maverick sympathized. "Sometime ghosts from the past catch up faster than you think."
"More like I was trying to catch up with them."
"Well now I'm intrigued..." Maverick joked looked expectedly at her wanting to know more. 
"When my mother found out she was pregnant with me...she decided not to tell my father and she left. When I was fourteen I found some of his stuff and I've been looking for him ever since." She told the story trying her hardest to hold back tears realizing this was probably the closest she would ever bring herself to telling him the truth. "I found a picture of him and my mom, I carry it everywhere. When I was with Rooster it was like nothing else mattered I would go days, weeks without thinking about him, but one day...I saw that picture again and something in me just snapped back. I remembered the reason I had done all of this."
"All this?"
"He's Naval Aviator Pilot, he was the reason I first wanted to join. When my mom found out I joined up she disowned me, hasn't spoken to me since, I had already come too far, lost too much to give up...so I left." As Y/N told the story her eyes practically begged Maverick to put the pieces together. He was a Naval Pilot, does he not remember her mother? they seemed so in love but looks can be deceiving. "Not I think about how much I've lost because I refuse to give up on a guy who could potentially want nothing to do with me."
"Hey I've known you for less than 72 hours and I know that, that guy would be an idiot to not want to know you."
"Do you have any children, sir?" 
"No," Maverick answered. Y/N didn't know if she should be relieved or disappointed, she had always wanted siblings. "Rooster is the closest thing I've ever had to a son."
"Did you ever wanted them?" She asked gripping the the railing of the patio as she waited anxiously for his answer.
Before he had the chance the sound of music and loud chatter broke through. "Well Darwin. If I didn't know any better I'd say you were brown nosing." Hangman said strutting outside with the rest of the Top Gun class following. 
"Good thing you know better." 
"Darwin and I were just bonding over being some of the few Top Gun student to shoot down a instructor." Maverick lied causing Y/N to throw her head back in laughter. 
"That's not how I hear it sir." She smiled when his eyes widened in shock. 
"And how did you hear it Darwin?" Maverick asked as the rest of the team looked on expectedly.
"You didn't get the shot until you were 3,000 ft. below the 10,000 ft. hard deck, a technical loss." Y/N stated matter of factly. 
"And where did you hear that?"
"Ice- I mean Commander Kazansky, sir" She answered. "He likes to reminisce."
"I'm sure he liked to say he and his RIO were the only ones to succeed."
"Actually sir, Commander Kazansky says you won." She corrected. "He said out in the sky there is no hard deck and kill is a kill." 
"You know the commander well?" Phoenix asked. 
"Just in passing." Y/N admits. "He'd tell a few stories give a few tips."
"Well lets hope you remember them well cause your gonna need all the help you can get for tomorrow." Maverick said raising his glass as a chores of groans sounded around the group.
*-*-*
"Time is is your greatest enemy, Phase one of the mission will be a low level ingress attacking in two plan teams. You'll fly along this narrow canyon to your target, radar guided Surface Air Missiles defend the area, these SAMs are lethal. But they were designed to protect the skies above not the canyon below. 
"That's because the enemy know no one is insane enough to try and fly below them." Rooster chimed in. 
"That's exactly what I'm gonna train you to do." Maverick replied. "One the day your altitude will be one hundred feet...maximum, you exceed the altitude radar will spot you and your dead. Your air speed will be 660 knouts...minimum. Time to target two and a half minutes, that because fifth generation fighter wait at an air base nearby and a  head to head with these in your f-18s...your dead. Which is why you need to get in and get out before they even have a chance at spotting you, this makes time your greatest adversary."   
*-*-*
"Darwin we are one minute and twenty from target." Halo informed. 
"Good have that laser re-" She started to reply only to be cut off.
"Oh shit." 
"Omaha what the fuck is going on." She asked fighting the urge to turn and look out of fear of running off course.
"I almost hit a wall." Omaha answered. "We're back on course, we need some time to catch up."
"We don't have time, increase your speed and fall back in line." Y/N replied trying to focus on making the turns. 
"We're thirty seconds ahead of schedule." Halo informed.
"And I want to stay that way. Increase your speed." 
"I can't navigate at this speed." 
"Approaching target." Y/N announced ignoring her wingman. "Dagger two behind, I'd have to drop blind." 
*-*-*
"Why are you dead?" 
"I'm not."
"But your wingman is." He corrected. "You left them behind to face bandits. why?"
"The goal was to make it to the target."
"which is pointless unless you can guarantee a direct hit, which is a hell of a lot harder without you wingman." He said. "Who you left behind to be thirty seconds ahead of schedule?" Maverick asked hands on his hips. Y/N opened her mouth to answer  only to be cut off. "Don't tell me...tell it to their families."
*-*-*
"So Kazansky, I hear you like to tell war stories." Maverick joked with his blonde friend. Letting a smile take over his face 'Iceman' started typing.
"I take it you met Darwin." He stated. "What do you think."
"She...nice" Maverick said as if looking for any good word to describe the young pilot before Iceman gave him a look. "Okay, she's confident if not a bit arrogant, she a good pilot and god does she know it but she needs to learn that it take more than just being the best."
"Remind you of anyone?" Ice replied back causing the two to share a small laugh. 
"Yeah you." Maverick answered. "I know I was the same, almost exactly."
"She reminded me a lot of you when I first met her." Ice stated. "I think you two have a lot more in common than you realize." 
Walking down the tarmac admiral Kazansky noticed a piece of paper lying face down on the ground, bending down to pick it up he was surprised to see a picture of Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell and a woman who look slightly familiar.
Looking up he sees a young woman walking around the tarmac looking franticly around until her eyes landed on him, more specify the object in his hands. Cautiously she approached the man.
"Yes?" He asked looking at her intensely.
"Excuse me sir but that belongs to me." She replied trying her best not to reach out and take it from his hands. 
"Does it?" He asked attempting to probe without outright asking.
"Yes, sir." She answered. "It's my parents." She stated as if she herself was unsure of what to call the people in the photo. 
"Are you close." He asked holding the picture out to her. "To your parents, I mean." Ice and Maverick spoke in a regular basis and never once had he mentioned having a child, which is something that would have come up. So either this girl was mistaken or Maverick himself didn't know about her, seeing as he wasn't the kind of guy to run away from responsibility.
Taking a deep breath Y/N stared down at the photo for a while before giving what Ice could see as an obviously forced smile.
"No, but this is all have." 
"What do they call you?" 
"Darwin, sir." She replied looking confused as to why he would even care. 
"Darwin, Your top of your class is I recall correctly." He noted remembering one of the admirals talking about the cocky pilot that buzzed a tower a week prior. The smirk that involuntary spread across her face did little to deter Iceman's assumption on who her father was.
"Yes sir, I am." 
"You remind me a lot of a pilot I flew with when I was a lieutenant...Maverick." 
"I believe I've heard the callsign before, I'd love to put a face to the name." 
"I'm sure you have, it's surprising there are no pictures around, he was peacock." Ice joked. "He had a thing for buzzing towers as well." 
Y/N looked like a child being scolded as she fought not to smile remembering the event that errand her a hefty scolding as well as 350 push ups on this very tarmac.
"She buzzed the tower you know." Ice informed causing Maverick to display the same smirk her had seen on Y/N when they first met. He wished he could tell Maverick the truth, wished he had told them both when he figured it out himself, but something told him that he shouldn't. "Has a habit of getting herself in trouble, almost made it hard to get her into Top Gun." 
"Guess she is a lot like me huh." Maverick agreed. Ice wondered how Maverick couldn't see it, but then again maybe if he hadn't seen the picture he wouldn't have either. "She left her wingman behind...twice." 
"She can be a bit of a lone wolf sometimes, but I know when the time comes you can depend on her." 
"I guess we'll see." Maverick replied before he looked up with huge grin on his face. "Did you know about her and Bradley?" He asked as the two started laughing at the complicated love life of their friends child. 
Ice walked Maverick to the front door after their gossiping about the two pilots and if they would work it out or not. Opening the door Maverick was a bit shocked to see Y/N walking up, while Tom expected her to have come sooner. 
"Captain Mitchell." Y/N greeted yet her gaze stated locked on the fleet commander. She had put together that there was no way that Ice didn't know and that the Maverick that everyone was talking about was Pete Mitchell, the article she read never included callsigns so this whole time listened to Iceman let her stories about her father.
"Darwin." Maverick greeted back sending a small smile to her and Tom before exiting the home.  
Opening the door wider, Ice gestured for Y/N to come inside. Walking in she waited as he closed the door and turned to look at her.
"Was it the whole time?"
He nodded. 
"Were you ever going to tell me?" 
Pulling out his phone Ice began to type out a response. 
"No."
"Why?" 
"I thought it was for the best." He replied. "Are you upset?"
"I wish that I could say I wasn't, but I am." She admitted never having the ability to lie to him about her emotions, he was one of the first person to know about her feeling for Rooster even before Rooster himself. "I understand that this is something I need to do on my own, I just wish- I don't know."
"Are you going to tell him?" 
"I don't know..."
*-*-*
"Darwin." Rooster called out to her as she walked towards the classroom. Rolling her eyes Y/N knew that he would try to corner her eventually. 
"Yes, Bradley." She asked turning around to face him. 
"Bradley." He repeated raising his brow. "Am I in trouble?"
"Not if you aren't looking for it." She replied crossing her arms over her chest. "Is there something you needed or can I go get ready for the exercise."
"I just wanna understand." 
"Understand what exactly." 
"You know what." 
"I don't have time for this." Y/N scoffed turning away wanting to focus on the mission instead of playing whatever game this was.
"You never do, do you?" He asked walking in front of her to block her path. "when ever thing don't go your way you just walk away. It must be so easy for you." 
"Oh my god Bradley, we have more important thing to worry about." She scolded as he glares down at her. "How do you ever expect to fly this mission if you keep living in the past."
"I'm living in the past?" He asked. "That's rich coming from you. You molded your whole life around a photo that was taken before you were born, of a guy who doesn't know your alive, spent your whole career being this 'lone wolf' so when anyone dares to get close you become emotionally unavailable, your incapable of considering anyone but yourself  which is probably why you abandoned you wingman in the last two exercise missions."
"Wow Rooster if this pilot thing doesn't work out you should become a shrink." Y/N replied sarcastically acting as is his words didn't effect her.
"Please it doesn't take a shrink to realize you have major daddy issues."
Y/N flinched as if his words had just slapped her in the face. "Wow, dad critique from you Rooster....That's rich." She sneered before turning on her heels and walking away.
After a short time Rooster followed behind Y/N into the classroom neither noticed Maverick witness the whole thing.
A/N: ask and you shall be tagged 🏷, if your were already asked to be tagged I’ll tag you for the rest of this series.

Coming Home to You
Bradley Bradshaw x Wife!Reader
Masterlist
A/N: Just a small Rooster blurb for ya! Sorry it's so short lol!
Summary: Bradley comes home from a long mission and runs straight into his wife's loving arms.
Warnings: fluff, fluff, fluff
Tumblr media
Stepping off the plane, Bradley breathed in the fresh Californian air, happy to finally be home. He had been called on an overseas mission that was supposed to last a week but turned into a month. Due to the top-secret nature of the mission, the aviators weren't allowed any contact with their loved ones. This rule is what always shredded the couple to pieces. They were together almost 24/7 and talked constantly, so cutting off all communication was very difficult for both of them.
It was hard for (y/n) to come home to an empty house after a long day at work. She'd grown so accustomed to Bradley getting there a few minutes after she did, and now, she would just stare at the door. having to remind herself that he wasn't going to walk through it. As a week stretched into a month, she grew more and more anxious about Bradley's safety. Of course, every time he went on a mission, she was sick to her stomach with worry, but she had learned that the longer the mission, the more dangerous the mission was.
When she got the call from the base, her eyes welled with tears, immediately fearing the worst, but she sighed in relief when they said he was finally coming home.
Quickly driving to the base, she hurried to the fence outside the airstrip where families were told to wait. She watched as pilots started coming out of the plane and down the steps toward their loved ones. The second she saw a familiar head of brown hair and mustache, a beaming smile grew on her face as they made eye contact. Even though he had his aviators on, she could tell he saw her by the way his demeanor changed. Quickly descending the steps, he ran, bag in hand, towards his (y/n), who jumped the fence, not caring about protocol. She threw her arms wide with a smile, running to meet him halfway.
Bradley dropped his bag before wrapping his arms around (y/n)'s waist, her arms slinging around his shoulders as their lips collided. Pulling back slightly, Bradley scanned her face with a smile, kissing her again. Out of breath, they leaned their heads together.
"I've missed you, Bradshaw," she whispered, leaning against his chest as she hugged him tightly.
He leaned down and kissed her temple, squeezing her tighter. "I've missed you too, Bradshaw."
As the two shared a moment, Mav looked on from afar, unable to break his stare. The couple reminded him so much of Goose and Carole that his heart ached just watching them. He was broken from his trance when he heard Penny calling for him. With a sigh and a teary smile, he looked back at the couple one last time before going over to her, whispering to himself.
"You'd be proud, Goose."

All Of You
Jake Seresin (Hangman) X Female Reader
Summary: Jake’s had a stressful day at work. His stress relief? Quality time with you. 
Warning: Insecurities about stretch marks, PURE JAKE FLUFF
@hotch-meeeeeuppppp
Jake dropped his duffle bag with a sigh. He hung up his keys on the hook near the door and began to unlace his boots. He slipped off his shoes before setting off to find you. You were on the couch, so enthralled with the book you were reading that your glasses were slipping down your nose. Jake shuffled into the living room, stopping at the back of the couch. “Hey babe, how was your-” You were cut off as Jake swung himself over the couch, deciding he was too tired to take the few extra steps around it.
 Jake collapsed on top of you, resting his head on your chest. He wrapped his arms around your form, inhaling the smell of you. You giggled as you turned to put your book down on the coffee table. You rested one hand on his shoulder, the other rubbed gentle circles on his back. “Rough day?” You ask as Jake’s grip around your middle tightens. “Mmmmm” He groans against you. “Baby…my hair…” his plea was muffled by your shirt. You raise your eyebrows, “Hmm?” You hum in question. “Do that thing with my hair…” He whines, burying his face further into the fabric of your shirt. You chuckle as you work your fingers into the hair at the nape of his neck.  You begin to gently scrape your nails against his scalp, earning a moan of appreciation. While one hand stays at the nape of his neck, the other runs repeatedly through the dark blonde locks at the top of his head. You shifted slightly, pulling yourself up to lean against the arm of the couch. “Do you want to talk about it?” You ask, dropping a kiss to the top of his head. “Maverick made us grrhhmm…” the end of his sentence was lost in a mumble against your breasts. Jake smiled at the soothing vibrations coming from your laugh. “He what?” You ask, leaning back to look at him. Jake turned his head so his cheek was pressed against your chest. “He made us do pushups if we lost a dogfight. I think I did like… 400… my arms hurrrrtttt….” He whines, squeezing your middle. 
“Babe, I’m sorry, do you wanna go take a hot shower? I can order a pizza…” Your suggestion trails off as he shakes his head against you. “No…. wanna stay here…” he grumbles. An idea strikes you. “Do you wanna take a bath?” Jake raises his head and looks into your eyes. His brows raise in an unspoken question. You giggle and drop another kiss to his head. “I’ll join you.” Jake shoots up off the couch, rushing up the stairs before you can even blink. You shake your head and chuckle, getting to your feet. “Hey gorgeous, where do you keep that fancy bath oil?” Jake calls from the bathroom. The sound of running water greets you as you climb the stairs. “Bottom left drawer.” You answer, stepping through the door. Jake is sitting on the edge of the tub, hand trailing through the water to monitor it’s temperature. “Will you come check the water?” He asks, extending his hand. You grasp his hand and he pulls you into his lap. You dip your hand in. “Perfect.” You concur, standing. After you and Jake had gotten rid of your clothes, Jake sinks into the water. Once he’s settled, you join him, slipping into the space between his legs and resting your back against his chest. Jake plants a kiss on your shoulder. “Thank you… for this.” He mumbles against the bare skin of your neck. Jake’s hand trail up your thighs, stopping at your hips. His fingers trace the stretch marks that paint your skin. You squirm at his touch, scooting away. “Y/n…” Jake sighs, running a hand through your wet hair. “You’re beautiful,” Jake’s voice is nothing but sincere as his kisses your cheek. You lean into his touch once more. “You don’t hate them?” You ask trailing your own fingers across the textured skin at your hips. “They’re natural, and they’re a part of you. Of course I don’t hate them.” Your heart swells with pure adoration. “I love you.” You whisper, turning to look at him. “I love you too,” Jake replies. “All. Of. You.” Each word is punctuated with a kiss.

Take It Off | Rooster x Reader
Summary: Bradley promised he'd never shave off his mustache without your permission.
Warnings: Fluff, slight allusions to sex
Length: 500 word drabble
Pairing: Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw x Female Reader
This can accompany my series or be read alone! My masterlist.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You sat perched on Bradley's bathroom vanity and watched him plug in his electric clippers. "Maybe I made a mistake," you said, biting your lip nervously.
Bradley chuckled, standing before you in just his underwear. "Either you want me to shave it off or you don't, Sweetheart. Which one is it?" he asked, pausing with the clippers a few inches from his mustache.
You wiggled around next to the sink and covered your eyes with your hands. "Okay, do it. Shave it off, Roo. I need to know what you look like without it." And as you peeked through your fingers, he turned toward the mirror and ran the clippers across the skin above his upper lip, removing most of the hairs in a few quick strokes.
Somehow you already knew that this was a big mistake, but you watched intently as he covered his cheeks, chin and upper lip with shaving cream before using a regular razor to get a close shave all over his face.
Once he was done, he washed his face and patted it dry with a towel. "Well, what do you think?"
You spread your thighs apart and pulled him to stand closer between your open legs, inspecting his face up close. He ran his thumbs in small circles against your knees and smirked as you grabbed his chin and tilted his face up and down, back and forth to examine him. You had to admit, running your fingers along his perfectly smooth skin was a new sensation for you, and you definitely did like that. So it wasn't all bad.
And while he still looked so handsome, that mustache had really worked for him.
"I don't know, Roo," you whined. "Obviously you still look good, but.... I think I miss it. How long will it take to grow it back?" You know your face must look pretty upset at the moment, so you try to reel it in. 
Bradley tipped his head back and laughed. "I don't know, Sweetheart. Two weeks? Maybe a little more?"
You groaned. "If I ever ask you to do this again, remind me that I missed it as soon as it was gone," you whispered, running your fingertips along his top lip.
Bradley leaned in close and rubbed his newly smooth skin all over your face finally making you smile again. "Will do, Baby Girl. I'll remember that you missed it right away. But since it's definitely gone for now, how about we see if you like my smooth face on other parts of your body?" He quirked an eyebrow as he reached to remove your shorts and underwear. 
"Yeah, let's check that out," you agreed with a grin. And you had to admit, you did enjoy his smooth face all over your body, but you definitely still wanted the mustache back as soon as possible. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bradley and Baby Girl strike again!

Love Dive | Jake 'Hangman' Seresin
Tumblr media
Character: Jake 'Hangman' Seresin x Reader
Word Count: 571
Summary: Lieutenant Jake Seresin met his old classmates and asked her crazy question out of the blue.
Warning: Nothing, just fluff.
Other Jake Seresin story: Cold But Sweet, No Boyfriend But Not Single
Main Masterlist || support me: Ko-fi
Thank you to anyone who gave a like, reblog, and left a comment. It motivated me to write more. 
Tumblr media
Lieutenant Jake 'Hangman' Seresin is attending an anniversary party for the reunion of the Air Force Academy. He must be crazy for saying yes to coming and giving a few speeches at the podium. 
Jake blamed himself and made a mental note not to receive calls when he still had jet lag. Two days ago, his former instructor called him, and sleepy Jake said yes. 
And here he is. After giving a speech, Jake sits alone at the bar while watching his colleague and senior dancing with their partner. Can he be like them? 
Then he looked at the person beside him—his long-time friend when both of them were still students. 
Colonel Y/N L/N. 
It's been difficult to meet her because she chose to be stationed overseas. Both of them only meet once a year. Jake just found out she's a frequent guest at the party since all her family are Air Force alumni. 
Even though they only meet once a year, every time he sees Y/N again, they will talk non-stop. It seems like they always meet every day. 
Then an idea came up. 
He turns to Y/N, who is enjoying her drink. She doesn't seem bothered being single in the room like him. 
"Y/N."
She hummed. 
"Do you want to try to go out with me?"
Y/N furrowed her eyebrows; she had known Jake for a long time. Since the academy, he always asks her funny or ridiculous questions. 
Even though he's annoying to some people, Jake's presence at the academy makes her life more fun because she came here because of her family, who are Air Force alumni. 
Whenever she hung out with him, she slowly learned to love flying. 
Now, back to his crazy question, Y/N shrugged her shoulders. "Let's give it a try."
If things didn't work out and this ruined their friendships, she could move overseas again and pretend it never happened. 
Smirked on Jake's face, he nodded. He knew he could always count on you. His right hand wrapped your shoulder and brought you closer to him. "You won't regret this Y/N."
<30 years later>
"Happy 30th wedding anniversary grandpa and grandma!!!"
The children and grandchildren are singing together in front of Y/N and Jake. 
Time has gone by since Jake asked her. There's a trial and error at the beginning of the relationship, but both quickly resolve the issues. 
And now, Y/N and Jake are slowly dancing together at the small party your children held for their lovely parents. 
Jake wrapped his arm around Y/N's waist while looking at her; even though hair had turned gray and wrinkles on both of them, in his eyes, Y/N and are still young. 
Y/N senses that he is looking at you. "What?"
Jake smiled and said, "You didn't regret I asked you out, right?"
Y/N rolled her eyes, but her expression was Happy. She rested her head on his chest. 
Jake brushed her hair gently. Then he asked her, "Do you want to know what wishes I made when I blew the candle from the anniversary cake?"
"What is your wish, my love?"
Y/N lifted her head and looked lovingly at her husband, her right gently caressing his face. "If there's another life, I wish we could be together again."
Jake chuckled, "That means we will always have a happy ending."

Bob: "Why would anyone want to hurt Hangman?" Rooster: "Maybe because they met him?"
-----------------------
Rooster: "Hi." Maverick: "Hey, did you do what I said? Did you tell him?" Rooster: "I did. Maverick: And what did he say?" Rooster: "“Thank you.”" Maverick: "You’re totally welcome. What’d he say?" Rooster: "He said, “Thank you.” I said “I love you” and Hangman said, “Thank you.”"
------------------------
Phoenix: "Rooster, get that hideous thing out of the house would you?" Rooster: "Hangman, Phoenix wants you to get out of the house."
-------------------------
Iceman: "I lost Maverick" Goose: "How did you LOSE Maverick?" Iceman: "To be fair, he is very small."
------------------------
Maverick: "The best way to gain someone's undying loyalty is by saving them from a perilous situation." Penny: "So you're just gonna wait until Rooster is in danger and save him?" Maverick: "Of course not, I'm going to create a situation that puts him in danger and then save him." Penny: ... Penny: "You're insane."

Fanboy: "We’re playing Scrabble. It’s a nightmare." Bob: "Scrabble? Scrabble’s great." Fanboy: "Not when you’re playing with Phoenix, it’s not. She put words like “ephemeral” and I put “dog.”"

Party Trick
Tumblr media
Jake "Hangman" Seresin x female reader
Summary: You're on a first date with Hangman with little to say until you swap party tricks.
Author's Note: Requested by a lovely anon who wanted to see Hangman on a date with a shy reader.
You'd been sitting in silence for what seemed like hours, although in reality it was probably only a few moments. You cursed your shy nature, wishing the alcohol would kick in and make you more talkative. No matter how hard you tried to think of something to say, the words wouldn't come out. You were intimidated by the handsome older pilot in front of you and his wolfish grin did nothing to ease your fear of disappointing him whenever you thought of opening your mouth. Suddenly you wondered why Penny had thought you two would make a good match.
Jake was trying to be patient. He'd asked questions about school and made a few jokes to break the ice. Nothing seemed to be working though and you could see the light dimming in his green eyes. You noticed his gaze wander to the pool table and you worried he'd rather be playing a game with his buddies than sitting here trying to coax a few words from you.
You took another sip of your beer, watching him as he pulled a toothpick from his pocket and placed it between his teeth. It seesawed back and forth between his lips before he did something completely unexpected. He rotated it vertically against the roof of his mouth, using his tongue to flip it back out again. You raised your eyebrows at him and giggled, "Aren't you afraid you're going to poke a hole in the roof your mouth doing that?"
His eyes flashed with light once more as he said, "What? This?" Then he maneuvered the toothpick once more, slowly this time for you to get a better look. Your heart skipped a beat as he stared into your eyes as his tongue flipped the toothpick once more.
"Mmmm-hmm," you said.
"Just a little party trick, darlin'. Everybody's got one. Don't tell me you haven't picked up one or two," he said leaning his elbows onto the table.
"Well...there's one thing I can do," you said, cheeks flushing bright red as soon as you remembered. Jake sat up in his seat, eager to hear what it was.
"Now you gotta tell me. What kinda trick makes you blush like that, sweetheart?" he asked in an amused voice.
You bit your lower lip and rolled your eyes to the floor. Were you going to show him? It was so silly! But he had asked so you held up a finger and told him you would return. You trotted to the bar and asked Penny for a few cherries and she complied with a shrug.
Heading back to the table Jake watched you intently as you popped a cherry into your mouth stem and all. You chewed for a bit and then your mouth set to work. You rolled your tongue inside your jaw and Jake watched mesmerized as you held his gaze confidently. You'd done this a million times at summer camp, never thinking it would come in handy one day. He cocked an eyebrow at you wondering what you were up to until you extended your tongue proudly a few seconds later and plucked a knotted stem from your mouth.
"Well I'll be damned!" he said examining it carefully. "You did that?"
"I did!" you said proudly.
"You know, I think our talents might be wasted sitting here talking, darlin'. Why don't we go for a drive?" he said suggestively.
"I'd like that," you agreed. Then Jake took you by the hand and led you out the door.

Beyond the Hills intro (College AU)
Ok so I had a lot of Signed Away part 14 written, but then I realized I needed to change it, so it's going to take me a little longer than I thought to get it posted.
Instead, I thought I would post the first part of the intro to Beyond the Hills to see if you guys like it because this is literally all i have to offer you at the moment 😅
Jake Seresin x Reader
Summary: Technically, you and Jake Seresin have known each other for twelve years. All throughout your childhood education, you and Jake shared classes, lunch periods, homeroom teachers. It seemed if the opportunity for you to be in the same space arose, the universe made it happen. But you were not friends. Not enemies, either. Not much of anything to one another outside of the occasional class project partners. When high school ended you assumed that would change, but then you find yourselves at the same college, and once again, forced together. It seems no matter where you go, Jake Seresin is there. But you are not the shy girl you were in your youth. You want to try things now; party, have fun, do things you’ve never done before, and suddenly, for reasons you don’t understand, Jake seems to take issue with your new choices. 
Tumblr media
Part 1 (intro)
You were quiet, shy, always had been, Jake remembered. From the very first second he saw you shuffle your way into Mrs. Paulson's first grade class, hidden behind your mother's leg and gripping the hem of her skirt for dear life, Jake knew the type of girl you were. Boring. Lame. No fun and not worth the time. But that didn't stop him from watching you when he thought no one else was looking.
He'd stare curiously at the girl who colored alone, ate lunch alone, parted from the group at recess to go play with the flowers and insects at the perimeter of the playground, again, alone. He could see your lips move, forming words for a one-sided conversation with the plants and tiny bugs who would never respond. He'd notice how you smiled anyway.
Weird---that was the word. You were completely weird. And yet he watched you still. He watched you grow, as he had grown. He watched you turn into a woman, as he had become a man. For twelve years he had tried to keep his eyes from searching for you, from seeking out the odd girl he'd found annoyingly intriguing, and he failed miserably. So when you walked into lecture hall C for the freshman English class, choosing to sit three rows in front of him, just two seats to the left, Jake knew he was fucked. If you were around, an uncontrollable part of him would always be tempted to find you. He supposed he could fight with himself to stay away, but that wasn't a battle he was sure he could win. After all, he'd never won before.
