Magic show - Loki fluff oneshot

Summary: Loki has a major crush the quiet reader but doesn't know how to get close to you. So he gathers the avengers for a faux magic show where he ‘accidentally’ handcuffs the two of you together, forcing you to spend time with him.

Loki stared at her H/C locks lovingly from across the room. Ever since Y/N had stepped foot into the compound she had intrigued the God of Mischief. While he did not see her often as their missions rarely overlapped, he bubbled with excitement every time he saw her making her morning coffee or relaxing with the other avengers. He had only spoken to her twice, once their first hello upon meeting in the hall and second when she accidentally dropped a stack of files and he was kind enough to help her pick them up.

She seemed rather quiet when talking to others and he was unsure how he to befriend her.Over the past few weeks he had generated many strategies to get Y/N to talk to him. Deciding that life or death, escape situations probably weren't the best environment for their first full conversation, Loki opted for his next devious plan.

He watched Y/N take a seat next to Wanda on the large couch in the avengers living room and tried to hide his smirk. "Welcome" he announced. “To the God of Mischief's magic show" he said using his magic to write his title in the air with sparks. "Okay what are you planning Reindeer Games, if this compound ends up in flames, I swear to-" "Relax my metal acquaintance, your compound will remain safe and sound, as will all of you" Loki cut Tony off with a smile. The other Avengers still looked skeptical, save Peter, Vision and Y/N. His eyes softened, noticing that the girl was not scared of him.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y is Reindeer Games gonna ruin my compound" Tony spoke aloud. "I detect no sign of malicious or deceitful behaviour sir" the assistant announced to the room. "Very well" Stark muttered, leaning back into the couch. Loki smirked as he continued with his act.

He performed a few rudimentary tricks first, then using his magic to conjure some impressive illusions. "For my finale I will need a volunteer" he said, looking out at all the others. He purposefully used his magic to steal Peter's voice in fear that the spider boy would take Y/N's place. "I'll do it" her tentative voice was music to his ears. He bowed deeply, ushering her onto his makeshift stage. "This next trick is an escape illusion, where I will magically free Y/N and I from these, without a key" he said clamping the handcuffs shut on his and Y/N's wrists. He had conjured the cuffs himself, strategically crafting them without key holes and making them strong enough to be almost unbreakable.

"As you can see, they are quite secure" he said lifting his wrist and pulling Y/N's arm up with him. "And now, I shall release from this-" he pretended to stop talking out of panic, as he jerked his wrist, feigning an attempt to get out off the cuffs. He chuckled lightly "Just a moment" he turned around and rapidly fumbled with the metal chains, faking a desperate wrestle with the handcuffs. "Why is it not working" he mumbled.

"You okay there Loki?" Steve asked in a concerned tone. "Quite alright thank you" he snipped. He continued with his sham until finally he dropped the cuffs in defeat. He turned around with a sheepish smile "So um it seems the handcuffs are temporarily stuck" he said. The other avengers broke into yells of indignation yet to his joy, Y/N did not seem as perturbed.

"What did you do, swallow the key?" Bucky asked sarcastically. "There is no keyhole" Loki replied "true magic is a high stakes endeavour"

He answered Bucky's unanswered question and held his chin high. "Can we break it?" Thor asked, and Loki rolled his eyes at his brother's typical violent solution. "I sincerely doubt it" he said. "Okay you know what, Banner and I will go down to the lab and see if we can find a way to crack these" Tony said getting up from his seat and nudging Bruce. "Until then, looks like you're stuck with Reindeer Games" he said to Y/N. She didn't respond and Loki waited for the heroes to clear out before he spoke to her.

"I apologise Lady Y/N, I truly did not mean to get you stuck with me" he said. After all Loki's time in Asgard, he knew the key to making any women melt, was being a gentleman. "That's okay, it might be fun" she replied. He was delighted to learn she wasn't opposed to spending time with him. No one said anything for a moment, Loki silently gestured her towards the couch.

They sat in awkward silence for a while before Y/N spoke up "I'm kinda hungry" she said. "We can get a snack from Stark's cupboard" Loki said. "Or we could make something" she countered with a smile. "What do you propose?" He questioned. She smiled wider and jerked him up, speeding to the kitchen. She began placing trays, bowls and ingredients on the kitchen island, pulling Loki's hand along with hers. "We are gonna make cookies!" She said clapping her hands together. "Interesting what type?" He asked peering over at the food. "Chocolate chip" she said, laying out sheets of baking paper on a tray.

She instructed Loki to put baking soda and salt into a bowl while she fought with the jar of flour, struggling to open the lid. It popped open unexpectedly and a puff of white  flour enveloped the god. When the cloud cleared, Loki was left with an irritated expression on his face. The flour had settled in his hair making him look like he aged twenty years. Y/N's hand flew to her mouth as she failed to contain her laugh. She doubled over as she looked at the usually majestic god, covered in baking flour.

It was if her giggles were magical because Loki could not hide the smirk growing on his face. "Oh you think that's funny?" He said, raising an eyebrow. Y/N was too busy laughing to answer. As she tried to catch her breath, Loki dipped his hand into the bag and threw a handful of flour over her bent figure. Her smile was quickly replaced with shock and she let out a gasp. But Y/N was not one to back down, she grabbed a pile, flinging it in Loki's face, making him spit out white smoke. She reached for another handful but the bag disappeared, resurfacing in Loki's grasp.

Thankfully it was in the hand that was chained to Y/N so she could easily steal it back. Loki switched the soft weapon to his other hand and lifted it high into the air. She groaned in frustration, jumping to reach it. On her third jump she knocked over the cookie tray sending it flying into her and Loki. They fell back against the counter and Loki dropped the bag. In an instant, they were both painted in white powder, when they turned to face each other they burst out laughing. "You- you look like an old man" Y/N said between giggles. "I could say the same about you" Loki quipped earning him a slap on the arm.

Coincidentally, they both leaned down to grab the tray and their noses bumped together. Loki chuckled as he helped his flour covered baking partner up. Now standing, Y/N realised how close they were together. Her chest brushed his and she could feel the hotness of his breath. She reached up to dust a bit of flour off his eyelash but then withdrew it, embarrassed. "Sorry" she muttered but before she could move away, he gently clutched her hand. "It's quite alright" he said sincerely, dusting her shoulder to make her feel more comfortable. She smiled up at the god in silent thanks.

Once Loki had used his magic to clean up the kitchen they successfully managed to get the cookies in the oven without any mess. As they waited for them to bake, they sat on top of the island. "You know, when Thor and I were little we used to sneak into the kitchens at night to steal cookies" he said with a fond smile.

"Really?" Y/N laughed. "Yes, in fact we did it every time we had guests because they always made the best cookies for the guests" he said. "We got caught a lot, Thor would just run in and grab as many as he could, whereas I would use more stealthy approach" he said shaking his head amusedly. "But once we became teenagers our midnight escapades stopped" he said with a hint of sadness. "It's nice to have someone to share cookies with again" he said, looking at her with a warm gaze. His blue eyes almost seemed to glow in the dim light, Y/N found herself staring at them longer than she should have.

She reached into the oven, dragging Loki's hand with her. She shut it and a rush of warm air hit her, permeating the kitchen with the smell of freshly baked cookies. "I bet my cookies are better than the ones in Asgard" she said cockily. "Oh do you?" Loki asked, his signature smirk creeping onto his face. "See for yourself" she said carefully sliding one of the cookies off the tray. To her surprise Loki was not startled by the hot crust.

He took a large bite, chewing slowly and carefully. He nodded thoughtfully as he swallowed "It is hard to admit but you may be right" he said savouring the sweet taste that lingered in his mouth. She took a bite too, sighing happily as the chocolate chips melted in her mouth. She leant against the counter, munching on their creation. On the corner of her lips, a bit of chocolate was smudged so Loki took it upon himself to wipe it. He stepped closer to Y/N, rubbing his thumb along her lips and wiping it on a tissue behind her.

She was now trapped between Loki and the counter, yet she wasn't complaining in the slightest. Her breathing grew heavy as Loki's head tilted towards her. Her eyes fluttered close as his lips pressed against her. His fingers danced across her cheeks and he pulled her closer to him by her waist. The kiss grew deeper, as he revelled in the sweetness of her chocolate tongue. A sensation even warmer than her cookies spread through him and he got lost in her kiss.

Reluctantly he pulled apart, not daring to break eye contact. Y/N's eyes were glazed and she had a goofy smile on her face. "I guess you really liked the cookies" she said with a small laugh. His hand dropped to hold the one that was chained to hers, "actually I prefer the baker" he said, leaning in for another impossibly sweet kiss.

An hour later the cookies were almost completely eaten, all that was left was a plate full of crumbs next to the couch. There, Y/N lay between Loki's arms as he told her about the last book he had read. In between sentences Y/N would place little kisses on his jaw, turning Loki a brighter shade of pink each time.

Just as he leaned in for another kiss, the sound of footsteps came from beside the couch. "Whoa, what's going on here?" Tony asked in disbelief. Y/N attempted to sit up, mortified at the situation she had been found in, but Loki pushed her down by the chest. "You are the last one that should criticise public demonstrations of affection" Loki said coolly. "Fair enough" he answered, kneeling down beside the pair.

"Give" Stark said, motioning for their handcuffs. Holding it above the floor, Loki poured a bright purple liquid onto the chain. It sizzled and bubbled but did not even scratch the silver metal. Stark let out a howl of frustration, tossing the empty vial behind him. Loki was bemused. watching the man."No matter" he said calmly, waving his hands and the cuffs disintegrated in a burst of green sparks. "Wha- how?" Y/N stuttered. "It served its purpose" he said pressing a kiss to her forehead. She looked at him in confusion for a second. Then "LOKI" she yelled, but the god only laughed.

Literature Lovers - part two

Summary: Loki and the reader argue about who's best at literature and make a competition to write the best Shakespeare essay

Part 1:

"Slytherin" "Ravenclaw" "Slytherin" "Ravenclaw!" "SLYTHERIN" "RAVENCLAW!" Y/N yelled. "I am Loki, of Asgard and I am burdened with GLORIOUS PURPOSE!" Loki shot back. "I am ambitious and cunning and devious, I am quite literally the God of Mischief" he said, nostrils flaring. "Yeah but you're a nerd" Y/N replied and Loki scoffed, rolling his eyes. "You're witty, you're intelligent and I haven't seen you go one day without a book" she argued. "Just because I posses traits of Ravenclaw doesn't mean I am one" he huffed. "Just because you have some Slytherin doesn't mean you're not Ravenclaw" she said, mocking him. Loki let out a heavy, exasperated sigh. "My Lady if we continue to argue about this we will never finish Prisoner of Azkaban" he said, gesturing to the movie that was cued up and ready to play on the tv. "Fineeee" she said with a small pout.

Snuggling into the couch, under her blanket she reached for the remote to press play. Loki used his magic to draw the curtains closed and dim the lights before settling into the cushions. They watched in silence, each with a wide smile on their face. Every once in a while, one would make a comment but there was little sound of voices until that scene.

"Ahhhh!" Y/N screamed into her pillow, feeling heat gathering in her cheeks. "What, what is it?" Loki asked, eager to be part of her excitement. The girl simply pointed to the screen, when Loki looked to see what had gotten her all worked up, he could not believe his eyes. "Malfoy?" He asked incredulously. She grinned and nodded. "He's so hot" she said giggling while clutching her pillow. "He's blonde" Loki retorted, scrunching his nose. "He's cooool" she said. "I think you'd like him, he's kind of like you" Y/N quickly caught herself before she continued.

Recently she had noticed herself having feelings for a certain god of mischief. Initially she had pushed them down in fear of ruining their friendship but they were rather hard to ignore when she spent so much time with Loki.

Thankfully her embarrassment wasn't noticed by Loki who was too engrossed in the movie. Every time Malfoy popped up, he unconsciously clenched his jaw. Maybe he was trying to figure out their similarities, Y/N thought. Eventually the end credits of the movie played, but Loki was yet to hit pause. "I like Sirius" he said turning to her, ready to engage in what had become a traditional post-movie debrief. "I loooove Sirius too, I love all the Marauder's actually" she said. "Except Peter" she added, a disgusted expression sneaking onto her face.

The other avengers heard their voices floating in from the living room. As Tony took a sip of his coffee he shook his head. "Do you think he knows?" He asked Thor, who was sitting in front of him, munching on a pop tart. "It is unlikely" Thor said, turning around to glance at his brother. "Do you think Lady Y/N is aware of his feelings?" He questioned and Stark sighed. "Nope" he said looking over at the secretly love struck pair.

The next day Y/N walked into the library to see Loki with his most recent exploration into Shakespeare. "Ahh moved onto Macbeth I see" she said plopping herself down on the chair next to Loki's. "I think you'll like that one, the main character goes mad" she added cheekily. "Mmm indeed, I find myself being reminded of you as I read it" Loki quipped. The devilish smile that had appeared on Y/N's face quickly disappeared sending Loki into a fit of laughter. "Yeah well, I could be a great Lady Macbeth" Y/N responded, crossing her arms. "I'm sure you would" he said with a chuckle.

"Oh, I was so good at Shakespeare essays in high school" she said leaning back as she remembered her school days. "Yes it is lucky, I wasn't there" Loki said making Y/N's eyebrows furrow. "What do you mean?" She inquired. "Well, I would've... how you mortals say, crushed you, had we been educated together" he answered. Y/N's jaw dropped so low it nearly touched the floor. "I studied him for 7 years! You just started seeing his plays and you think you could do better than me?" She asked in disbelief. "I am a god" he said, his familiar smirk taking its usual place upon his face.

"Alright then" Y/N said determinedly. "You and me, essay competition" she said, her eyebrows flashing. "Right now?" He spoke. "You got anywhere else to be" she said, attempting to psych him out. "No" he murmured. "Good" she stood up quickly "time starts now, we compare at 7pm" she said running to find her laptop. Loki smiled to himself as he conjured a trailing piece of parchment and a quill, starting to scribble on the yellowed paper.

As Y/N rushed through the halls, she turned the corner and ran into something solid. "Oh, hey Bucky" she greeted the soldier she had bumped into. "Hello Y/N, where are you off to in such a hurry" he said looking down at her. "Essay competition with Loki" she said and he looked at her skeptically. "Nerds" he muttered before walking away. Y/N continued her journey upstairs, already imaging the look on Loki's face when she proved she could write better than him.

"I'm gonna kick your butt Laufeyson" she said when she returned to the library. As well as her laptop, she held a stack of books she had gathered from around the library. "I highly doubt that Lady Y/N" Loki said winking at her. She ignored the flutters in her stomach and her shortness of breath by getting right to work. The room echoed with the sound of fingers typing and a quill scratching on paper.

At last the hands on the clock reached seven and Y/N sat up with a triumphant smile. "Let's do this" she said sliding her laptop over to Loki's side of the desk. He smirked at her enthusiasm passing her his long roll of parchment. Before she took it, she looked at Loki sternly "Honest reviews okay" she said and Loki placed a hand on his chest signalling he would not lie. She began reading his writing, her eyes dancing over his elegant script. While Loki lacked some of the in-depth knowledge of Shakespearean literature his language was impeccable she thought, tracing her hand over the soft paper.

Loki was astounded as he scanned her laptop, taking in the words she read. Y/N had found hidden meanings, he never would have dreamed of, yet as he read the tiny printed letters each paragraph clicked into place. He but the inside of his cheek wondering how would be able to admit to Y/N that her essay was better. Even admitting it to himself was slightly painful.

Once she was done she looked up at the god, giving him her feedback as politely as she could. "I hate to say it, but your writing is wayyy better than mine" she said with a sheepish laugh. Loki was taken aback by this and quickly contended. "No, no, my language was good but your insights were extraordinary" he said, eyes shining in admiration. She giggled softly unable to meet his gaze. "Well thank you. You may be good at writing but it's takes quite a while to be good at Shakespeare" she said.

Loki had a history of being a sore loser and he was determined not to behave that way in front of Y/N. He swallowed thickly before replying "Yes I suppose so" Y/N beamed at him. "This was fun" she said. To Loki's surprise, she crossed to the other side of the table and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her touch felt warm around him, her frame slightly smaller than his. He carefully snaked his arms around her, holding her as if she were as delicate as glass. When she pulled apart her body heat was gone, yet she still left a warm sensation spreading throughout Loki's extremities. "C'mon let's go get some dinner" she said motioning for him to follow her.

As he did so he had a strange feeling, a rather comforting feeling. As simple as walking out of the library with her felt, an invisible voice whispered to Loki that this felt right.

After dinner Y/N tossed her plate into the sink. "You know if you're wondering what to read next, I suggest Othello" she said taking the god's plate out of his hands as well. Loki hummed with a twinkle in his eyes. "Unfortunately I have a less, poetic book to read" he said, waving the four Harry Potter book at her.

Part 3 coming soon (;

Combat Training - Loki x reader oneshot

Summary: Loki and the reader are paired up for combat training

Loki reluctantly lined up with the other avengers as Steve and Natasha stood in front of them. "Welcome back to your weekly combat training" Steve announced. "Since we spent the last three weeks covering different attack strategies I figured this week we can just practise sparring which will give you a chance to revise everything you've learnt" he said, Loki fought the urge to shape-shift into Steve and mock the patriotic hero. "Alright so we're

gonna pair you up and we can get to work" Natasha said clapping her hands. They walked along the line pairing up the superheroes, Loki zoned out as he impatiently waited for his turn. "Okay and Loki I'm gonna have you with Y/N"

Steve said, gesturing down the line. Loki raised an eyebrow at the unfamiliar name and leaned forward to see who Steve was pointing at.

There was a large variety of superheroes at the compound, in different sizes shapes and forms yet what Loki saw before him was certainly unexpected. Smiling at him from down the line was a short, dark clad woman with H/C hair. A smirk grew on his face as he looked his opponent up and down. He would defeat this tiny mortal in less than a minute and he wouldn't even have to mess up his hair he thought snidely. She stepped forward when Steve introduced her. "Y/N is a stealth and intelligence officer so she's here for her monthly mandatory training session" he explained. Loki nodded already bored even though they hadn't even started.

Eventually they walked off, Y/N finding an empty space on the padded floor. Loki followed her with a mischievous smile. She shifted into a fighting stance and waited for Loki to make the first move. He sighed in an exasperated way and stepped forward opting for a swift punch. To his surprise before his fist made contact she had moved to the side. Unfazed he tried again this time trying to knock her off balance but once again, she evaded his attempt. Loki stopped an expression of shock from crossing his face. She had simply gotten lucky he told himself and now moved in for a much more complex manoeuvre that would end with her on the ground. He managed to successfully lift her into the air and bring her back down, but before he could secure her place on the mat she had wriggled out of his grip. Loki huffed in annoyance and Y/N smiled cheekily, the action only irritated the God of Mischief more as he squared up for another attack.

After several more attempts Loki's hair was falling over his face as he pushed himself back to a standing position. While Y/N had not achieved a completed attack against Loki, she had managed to escape all of his. Loki was practically boiling at this point, his frustration threatening to boil over and explode on the smaller girl. The whole time Y/N giggled each time she dodged a punch which only added to the god's vexation. Thankfully, she asked for a water break which allowed Loki to have a minute to himself. He took a deep breath in, in an effort to calm himself, breathing out slowly. 'It's just like a training session in Asgard' he murmured quietly. 'You're having fun'

When they returned to sparring Loki's attitude change could not have been more drastic. While on the surface he continued to act disinterested or annoyed at her countless parries, he secretly found himself enjoying it. He had never contended with someone who had such a unique fighting style and it intrigued the god greatly. In fact as they went back and forth he couldn't help the smile the crept onto his face. As he examined Y/N's movements he tried to ignore the warm sensation in his chest that came with each of her giggles. If it wasn't for his ego he might have considered letting her win a round.

Finally Loki glanced at the clock realising they only had a few more minutes. Some of the other pairs were beginning to shake hands and walk off the mats but lucky for him, Y/N hadn't realised yet. He had to act fast so he tapped into his more magical strategies. He used his powers to temporarily freeze her in place and once he managed to get ahold of her, he pinned the girl against the wall. She gasped as his hands held hers together above her head, pressing them against the wall. It was then that Loki realised just how close they were. His chests heaved, up and down, he was sure Y/N could feel his breath fanning her face. When he looked down at her she had a stunned expression which he met with his signature smirk. It took a moment for her to recover but once she did, she smiled back at him. Loki found himself being drawn to Y/N leaning in, he caught sight of her lips below his. He felt the softness of her skin and the warmth of her touch, the intensity of her gaze almost made him melt. His lips just seconds away, his eyes fluttered closed before

A piercing whistle met his ears, making both of them flinch. "Let's go reindeer games, you can practice more next week" Stark said pointing to his watch. Loki reluctantly let go of her hands and moved back, allowing her to step off of the wall. "We will continue this some other time" he said, winking before he walked off. As he turned back to look at her one last time he saw the pink hue that had covered her cheeks and the wide grin she sported. She waved at him and Loki exited the gym, eagerly anticipating their next meeting

I know this was short but whatever

A fool with a bullet wound - Loki fluff oneshot

Summary: there's an invasion at the compound and Y/N runs out into the middle of the fight. When she sees a gunmen aim at Loki she has to make a split second decision

Y/N rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and she blindly pushed herself up off her pillow. She heard thuds and bangs but they seemed somewhat far away. In her disoriented state she sat up looking around to see what was causing the noise when suddenly the alarm blared, the awful sound blaring in her ears. Now wide awake Y/N climbed out of bed, ignoring the coldness of the floor on her feet. The thuds and bangs were much louder now, coupled with panicked yells and FRIDAY's unintelligible warnings.

She had no idea what to do so Y/N did the safest thing possible and crawled under her bed. Barely breathing, she lay there on the ice cold tiles listening to the deafening sounds. She closed her eyes and tried to think of something else but with each bang and each thud she was abruptly jerked back to reality.

After a minute things grew quieter, Y/N peeked out from under bed hoping that the fight had subsided. Unfortunately she was all too wrong as just then the hinges flew off her door as a large explosion shook her room. The bed was blown off its base, crashing into the wall on the side of the room. She flinched covering her head with her hands, involuntarily curling up.

A large, angry looking man strode into the room and his eyes fell upon Y/N. She shoved down her panic upon seeing the terrifying man and forced herself to her feet. The man advanced upon her reaching out his hands to maim or grab her but there was no way Y/N would let that happen without a fight. She dodged the man's grasp and lunged for the exit, he was hot on her heels as she skidded through the compounds corridors. She almost tripped running down the stairs and she ran into total chaos.

There was rubble and dust scattered everywhere, the yells and thuds were heard much clearer now. Y/N could make out the figures of people fighting but it was too dark and dusty to see exactly who each dark body was. She weaved through the broken furniture trying to find some form of escape when she recognised a family god, with his dagger at an enemies throat.

Loki panted heavily as he sliced his dagger across the throat of yet another enemy, tossing them to the side. Yet with each defeat he was met with another opponent and he was getting frustrated. He blocked a punch to his stomach and was about to send his foe flying when a small mass hit his side.

Y/N was still wading her way through the broken glass and objects trying to find an exit when she noticed Loki fighting not one but two men simultaneously. She saw a third making his way toward him and she was about to call out to the god of mischief before an enemy raised a gun and aimed at Loki's jet black hair. Y/N reacted before she could think, she ran towards Loki as fast as her feet would carry her. The trigger was pulled and the gun's sound echoed in Y/N's ears. She rammed into Loki's side knocking him out of harm's way.

"What on Asgard are you doing you pathetic morta-" Loki trailed off when he saw a patch of blood growing in Y/N's abdomen. She pressed a hand to where the bullet had hit her and looked up at Loki with petrified eyes. Before he could reprimand her he blocked another blow from the cloaked intruders.

He stood up and with a swift kick to the head he knocked his foe out and soon after placed the second in a headlock. As the man grew limp in Loki's arms and slowly fell to the floor he dusted off his hands and ran to where Y/N lay. "What were you thinking you fool?” he said examining her wound. She tried to reply but only a staggered sigh came out. "We can't stay here" he said gathering Y/N into his arms. He picked her up with ease and surveyed the scene around him. He sped through the ruined living room using his magic to remove anyone that stood in his way.

As they moved through the battle Y/N's eyes began to close. When Loki noticed he shook her shoulders "No, no Y/N stay awake, you've gotta stay awake for me okay" he said, anxiety filling his chest as he tried to find a safe place for her. She mumbled some sort of agreement and her vision grew darker. Her limbs felt heavy as each blink got longer until finally she was engulfed in darkness.

When Y/N awoke she was nearly blinded by a beaming white light. A repetitive beeping made her aware of her throbbing head and aching all across her body. She groaned as she tried to sit up but was immediately stopped by a piercing pain in her abdomen. "Stay down, it'll be less painful for you" a voice said and she felt a hand on her shoulder gently pushing her into the bed. As her eyes adjusted to the light she saw none other than the god of mischief. Although the Loki in front of her had considerably messier hair and dark bags under his eyes that she had never seen before.

"You're an idiot you know that" he said settling back into his chair. "I believe the words you're looking for are thank you" she managed to speak as she carefully adjusted her position. "Why would I thank you for putting your life in danger?" he retorted. "Because I was saving your life jackass" she yelled, wincing at the unpleasant sensation it caused in her lower stomach. Loki's eyes softened "Thank you for your courageous act" he said quietly. "You're welcome" she smiled.

Loki's leg shook with anticipation as he wrestled with whether or not to ask the burning question in his mind. "Why did you do it?" He asked looking at her in confusion. "Because I didn't want you to get hurt" she said, as if it was as simple as the sky being blue. "You're a nice friend Loki and I didn't want you to get injured or worse" she said. Loki's eyes watered at her answer. "It was not worth your life my love" Y/N blushed at his words. "I too would be very upset if that bullet would had been more fatal" he said avoiding her eyes.

Her cheeks grew even redder as she smirked at the trickster. "What are you trying to say?" She asked teasingly. Loki sighed deeply at the look on her face "I am trying to say I care about you a great deal and although you are a reckless idiot, in light of recent events I would like to spend our time together as more than companions" he said awaiting her response. Y/N giggled. "I like you too Loki" the god let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. She reached her arms out to him and Loki quickly embraced her in a hug. "I love you, you fool" he murmured placing a kiss on the top of her head.

Literature Lovers - Loki Fluff Oneshot

Summary: Both Loki and the reader are huge fans of modern literature, they end up bonding over classic books, movies and even essays

(Mentions of Harry Potter and Shakespeare)

Y/N - Your name

H/L - hair length

H/C - hair colour

H/P/H - your Harry Potter house

"Hi Loki"

"Hey Loki"

"Whatcha reading?"

That was where this had all started. When Tony Stark's new intern had arrived the compound Loki paid no mind to her. As far as he was concerned she was just another annoying (change that word) Midgardian. But as time passed he found himself being more intrigued by the young girl. She had H/L, H/C hair that fell perfectly over her head and was always curious and interested in whatever activity Mr Stark was engaging in.

Unlike the rest of the team, except for that insistent spider boy, she greeted him whenever they ended up in the same room, despite his less than enthusiastic responses each time. Over time her greetings became longer, asking him how he was or frequently commenting on the book he was reading. He always had a book, no matter where he was. Loki had seen her from time to time in the library where she always sat in the same spot right in the corner, nestled in a cosy reading nook.

When he realised that like the spider boy, she was not going to give up, he went beyond tolerating her to actually answering her in detail when she asked for his thoughts about his latest book. And so began a series of exchanges each no longer than 20 minutes in length, yet after every one Loki longed for another.

"Hey Loki"

"Lady Y/N" he spoke smoothly. She plopped down next to him on the couch. He glanced at the clock against the wall and realised that her shift with Stark must be over. "How was serving the man of iron?" He asked casually, not that he cared about the answer. She smirked at the name but said truthfully "it was fine, just watched him work on his suits mostly" Loki nodded in response.

"How goes Romeo and Juliet" she asked, peeking at the book that lay in his lap. "It's very well written but I find myself being frustrated at the stupidity of the children" he said with a laboured sigh. This made Y/N laugh. "Yeah that's kind of the biggest criticism of it, everyone thinks it's this tragic, romantic story when really it's just about two reckless (change word) teenagers" she said. Loki hummed his agreement.

"You know if you like the way this is written I have another book you may like" she said. Loki's eyebrow quirked showing a sign of interest. "Oh really?" He questioned. "Yeah, let's go" she replied walking off without waiting for his answer. Loki hurried to follow her as she snaked through the compounds many corridors.

At last she reached her destination, entering the wide double doors that was the library. She ran past many shelves before stopping at one, she combed the lines of books carefully from floor to ceiling before turning to the next aisle, eventually two aisles later she called out to Loki. "Here" she exclaimed dragging over a chair and then climbing upon it to reach a book on a higher shelf. "I could've gotten it for you" he said watching the mortal strain herself on her tippy toes. "Yes but why inconvenience a god" she said with a small smirk. Loki was taken aback but revelled in her boldness. It had been ages since someone other than Thor had jested with him and believe me, Thor is not an expert in jesting.

"Well what is this tale" he said taking the book in his hands. It was heavy and a little worn, the dark cover had crinkles along the spine and a couple bent pages. "The lord of the rings" she said and Loki looked up at her quizzically. "A king with rings?" He asked dumbfounded. "You could find that anywhere couldn't you" he said but Y/N didn't hear over her laughter. "No" she giggled. "It's about this magical ring and a group of people who have to destroy it before it curses the land" she said. "I see" he said turning it over hesitantly. "I know it doesn't sound like much but I think you'll really like it, it's got complex writing like Shakespeare but it's a little more modern" she added. The god of mischief still looked unsure.

"Just try it" she said pressing the book into his chest. Then she turned on her heel and walked out of the library leaving Loki with his new reading material. After a moment of pondering he shrugged and settled himself into an armchair at the back of the library.

The next time Loki saw Y/N he was eager to tell her about the book, even calling out to her first, before she could greet him. "Miss Y/N" he called and Y/N turned to see him gesturing over excitedly. "Hey Loki" she said, surprised by his sudden and newfound enthusiasm. "You know you can just call me Y/N right" she said with a small smile. "I can but my mother taught me to be a gentleman" he said nonchalantly. "Your recommendation was excellent, Mr Tolkien's work is certainly admirable" he said looking down at the book in awe.

"I thought you'd like it" she said with a chuckle. "I loved reading it for the first time, except for the endless pages describing trees" she said and Loki did something she never expected, he laughed. And not a sly sneer or a jeering snicker but a genuine laugh. "Yes he does drone on at times" he said smiling at her. "Well I've got to go, Mr Stark needs me back in the lab soon but we can chat more tonight yeah?" She said, once again hurrying off before he could answer. "Yeah" he said quietly and settled back into the couch with a soft sigh.

Loki and Y/N chatted over many books, Y/N was eager to know what Loki's first impressions of each book and character was and Loki was just as eager to talk about it. He had never had a friend to engage with about literature, let alone someone who was as passionate as Y/N was about it.

This evenings conversation revolved around their favourite books, Loki was currently telling Y/N about his favourite tale in the Asgardian library.

"It's wonderful really, it's highly engaging and it's impeccably written, I stayed up all night to read it when I was younger" he said with a nostalgic smile. By now Y/N had grown used to his smile, enjoying (change word) the way his lips turned up at the end and his eyes softened. What she hadn't yet noticed was that his eyes only softened for her.

"There were many other tales I enjoyed as a child. Looking back at them, they weren't critically the best but there is something lovely about childhood stories" he said and Y/N agreed thoughtfully. "Say, what is your favourite book Lady Y/N" Loki asked curiously. "Oh it's not that good" she laughed "just an enjoyable one from my childhood" she said with a fond smile. "If you don't mind I'd like to hear about it" he said leaning in slightly.

Y/N had also grown used to his kind words and couldn't fathom how the gentle creature in front of her had been the same one who terrorised New York all those years ago. Whenever she was with him Loki was polite and kind, if not a bit cheeky.

So Y/N began her long spiel about her favourite book, telling Loki about the plot and her favourite characters but being careful not to spoil anything. The whole time Loki listened intently, focusing on her every word with interest. "I must say, Lady Y/N, I am intrigued, it must be a rather good book if it is favoured by someone such as yourself" he said. "Oh" she said letting out a breath, Loki's subtle compliments always seemed to flatter her to the point of flustering. "I mean it is really good but it's a children's book" she said.

"I'd like to read it" Loki said with a determined smile. "You don't have to" she answered quickly. "No, you have been kind enough to recommend me books and give me someone to talk to about them. I would like to see what you love, even if it is meant for children" he said with a sincere smile. "Okay I'll see if there's a copy in the library after work" she said with a wide grin. "I look forward to it" Loki said. "But until then, I take my leave" he said standing up and brushing off his cape swiftly. "Lady Y/N" he said, placing a small kiss on her hand. It left the girl all fuzzy and warm as she traced over the place his lips had touched. As she too left the room, she tried to hide her rosy pink cheeks.

A few nights later Loki came striding up to where she sat by the kitchen island, clutching a steaming mug of hot chocolate. "Lady Y/N, Harry Potter is positively incredible" he said setting the book down on the countertop. Only it wasn't the first book as Y/N had expected but the second in the Harry Potter series.

"You're already on the second book?" She exclaimed in surprise. I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to read Philosopher's Stone and I finished it by morning" he said with a triumphant smile. "And you liked it?" "I did, oh it was wonderful! The words are simple yet her world is extraordinary, the story was quite addictive" he said paging through the second book. Y/N's eyes shone with happiness which did not go unnoticed by the god. "So this morning I went to the library to get the second"He said showing her the book and she clapped her hands excitedly. "Ahhh! Chamber of secrets is my favourite one" she said excitedly "how far have you read?" Loki talked about it in detail and Y/N grew happier with each word. "Oh my god but wait what did you think about the first one?"

And so began their longest conversation yet, extending late into the night when the other Avengers started complaining about the noise throughout dinner. "We'll talk about it more tomorrow" she said, finally tossing her mug in the sink. "Oh but I'm so glad you liked it" she said and on impulse she rounded the corner of the kitchen island and threw her arms around Loki, engulfing him in a hug. The god of mischief was so shocked he didn't move for a moment, but quickly recovered and placed his hands around her tentatively. She let go and said goodnight to the other avengers before hurrying up the staircase to her room.

At the dining table the superheroes were whispering to each other. "Did she just hug Loki?" "And he hugged back!" "He didn't try to stab her or anything"

They all looked at him astounded, but Loki was too busy, buried in his book, or so it seemed. Really the god of mischief was hiding a smile as he replayed their moment in his head.

The next day at lunch Y/N walked up to Loki. "Hi Loki" she said and was greeted as usual. "Guess what, I had an amazing idea" she said, she was almost about to burst with excitement. "Oh yes?" He asked feigning coolness, he had grown to love her excited displays and the way he longed her to tell him what had made her so joyful. "Now that you've read the first Harry Potter book you can watch the movie, and I was wondering if you wanted to watch it with me!" She said happily, trying to hide her nervousness.

While she had been friendly with the god before, never had she been so bold in assuming they were close enough friends to watch a movie and part of her was scared Loki would scoff in disbelief. "I'd love to" he said, failing to hide the smile that had appeared on his face. "Yayyy" she cried practically jumping up and down in her excitement. Loki pretended to be annoyed "Yes I shall tolerate some odd Midgardian entertainment for one night" he said with his signature smirk. "I'll see you tonight then" she said. Loki smiled contentedly, watching her skip off to wherever Stark was.

That night Loki heard a quiet knock at his door. "Come in" he said smoothing out his hair in the mirror across from his bed. Y/N entered in her pyjamas holding drinks and a bucket of popcorn. "Hiiii" she said carefully setting the food down on his bedside table. Now that she was nearer Loki noticed a pattern on her pyjama pants. "Great Asgard, are you wearing Harry Potter pyjamas" he asked incredulously. Y/N answered sheepishly "What, I thought I'd stay in theme" she said showing off her H/P/H pants. "Hmm" Loki said before waving his hand. A shower of green covered his body before fading away leaving the god with an elegant Slytherin ensemble.

She chuckled before settling in beside Loki. The evening was spent laughing and gasping at every plot twist even though both knew what was coming. Loki enjoyed secretly watching her reactions at pivotal points of the movie. Once the end credits had played Loki and Y/N burst into discussion covering everything from his favourite scene to Draco Malfoy's hairstyle choices. Y/N talked until her mouth hurt and smiled until her cheeks hurt, Loki could not remember the last time he was this happy.

The pair talked and talked, each to focused on each other to notice the numbers on the clock rapidly ticking by, until suddenly it was 4 am and neither had gotten a wink of sleep. "I'll see you tomorrow Loki" she said climbing out of his bed. "Wait" he called out to her. It took him a moment to say his next words. "I truly enjoyed this night with you, I don't remember the last time I was this happy" he said swallowing nervously. "Me too" she said and he let out a sigh of relief. "Goodnight Loki" she whispered. "Goodnight Lady Y/N" he said as she crept out of his room.

The next morning Y/N yawned widely as she swirled her cup of coffee. "Whoa you look terrible" Tony said as he walked behind her turning on the coffee machine. "Gee thanks" she said sarcastically. "Did you get any sleep last night?" He asked leaning against the countertop. "No I was up until four with Loki" she said rubbing her tired eyes. "Oh okay don't need to know about your intimate activities with reindeer games I just wa-" "what no, n0" Y/N cut him off when she realised what her words sounded like. "We were just talking about Harry Potter" she explained. "Yeah you don't need to make excuses" Stark said walking off, leaving Y/N to think about last nights activities with a smile.

A trickster’s pranks - Loki fluff oneshot

Summary: Y/N is known for being a prankster and Loki is the most notorious trickster of all time. Only chaos can ensue when these two team up

Tony let out a large yawn as he picked up the empty kettle. The other avengers were all seated in the living room, talking or watching tv. Loki was quietly reading his book, next to Wanda who was showing Peter some small, non-lethal magic tricks. "Whoaaa" Peter laughed in the background, as Stark rubbed his eyes blearily. As he turned on the tap the kettle filled, not with water but a dark red liquid and Tony yelled loudly, almost dropping the kettle.

"What is it?" The others questioned before he turned around and set the kettle on the countertop for everyone to see, the ghastly sight was met with gasps of shock. "Who would? How could this have-" "This must be a message from our enemies" Tony said, staring into the sloshing liquid. "And if they've managed to do this, that means they're inside the building, all barricades up an-" Before he could continue he heard a muffled laughing coming from behind one of the large pillars.

As he rounded it, he discovered his intern Y/N with her hand clasped over her mouth in effort to contain her giggles. "Y/N" he said sternly, as if he were talking to a puppy that had ruined the furniture. "Did you do this?" He asked gesturing towards the kettle upon the countertop. "Maybe" she said with a wide grin and another laugh. All the avengers groaned and sat back down, shaking their heads as Y/N rolled around on the floor in laughter.

Some of the others like Peter and Thor also joined in her laughter, along with Loki, surprisingly. " I swear to god, this is worse than when reindeer games turned my coffee into snakes" he said glaring at the god of mischief who only smirked in response. "One day, one of your pranks is gonna get you killed you know" Clint said with a small smile. "That's the fun of it!" Y/N replied.

She played many a practical joke on the avengers throughout the next few months. Her escapades included scaring Natasha, which ended with a dagger to her neck, hiding Clint's arrows throughout the compound and feeding Thor an ice cream sandwich that had been replaced with toothpaste instead of ice cream. All of these were found enjoyable by the rest of the team, but none more so than Loki whose eyes lit up every time there was a scream or yell of frustration from one of Y/N's antics. As a result he began talking to the intern more often, frequently requesting drinks or books in an effort to talk to her. They became fast friends, engaging in conversations about their favourite books or the best pranks they had played on their friends.

To the heroes' horror the two began collaborating in their pranks, combining Y/N's knowledge of the others and Loki's production value. Together they almost burned down the compound a total of 3 times in a month, but no matter how many tricks they played, the others never seemed to expect it.

"So it'll burst when Steve walks under it?" Y/N whispered to Loki as they hid behind a wall near the gym. "Yes, it's enchanted so it will sense him just before he enters, which should give the paint enough time to fall" he murmured back. They waited giddily, for their target to arrive, Steve visited the gym at 6 am every morning and that's exactly where they were, 2 minutes before he was due to arrive.

Y/N fumbled with her camera a bit before finding the perfect angle to capture Steve, ever since she and Loki had started cranking people together, they had filmed each and every one of their tricks, as a trophy of their achievements. Right on cue, the super soldier sauntered toward the gym's entrance. It was silent for all but his footsteps before "SPLAT". Steve whirled around in confusion, green and yellow paint flying all around him. He shook his hands and yelled "LOKIIIII! Y/NNNNNN!" In frustration. The pair in question were silently giggling from their hidden viewpoint, quietly high fiving each other.

However when Steve ran back to where he had came from and caught sight of the tricksters they had no choice but to run. Skidding and slipping through the hallways, Loki revelled in the sound of her laugh. After a few minutes he found a small laundry cupboard to hide in. He grabbed Y/N by the sleeve and dragged inside, shutting the door just before Steve could see them.

Each held their breath as they listened for the super soldier's footsteps with mischievous grins. As Loki looked down at his partner in crime he noticed just how close they were, pushed together by the cramped closet. In the dim light he could still admire her playful smile and he noticed how her eyes sparkled as she peeked through the slats of the door.

A warm sensation spread through his chest and he found himself leaning towards her. It was as if some invisible force was pulling the god of mischief towards her. But Y/N turned to face him, Loki abruptly came to a stop. He played it off as fidgeting in the tight cupboard and Y/N believed him.

They carefully exited their hiding spot looking for any sign of the Captain. As she made her way back to the living room a smile grew on his face. Oh dear Asgard, what was he to do with these feelings, he asked himself. But somehow he couldn't manage to be worried, about being in love with someone to wonderful.

Rooster tries to help you get Maverick

_______________________________

🕚2 months later 🕟

"You know sitting here and staring at him isn't gonna make him like you" Rooster said, following your gaze that was fixed upon a certain auburn-haired captain. "Talking to him isn't gonna help either" Y/N grumbled. "It will, just try" Rooster said but Y/N brushed him off.

"You know sitting here and staring at him isn't gonna make him like you" Rooster said, following your gaze that was fixed upon a certain auburn-haired captain. "Talking to him isn't gonna help either" Y/N grumbled. "It will, just try" Rooster said but Y/N brushed him off.

"Plus you know what happens every time I try to talk to him" she whined. "I stutter and mumble and my voice gets really high and" she groaned not bothering to finish. "What if I talk you up to him then?" Bradley asked taking a sip of his drink. "Won't that just make him think I'm a nervous weirdo" she asked.

"No, Maverick loves feeling confident, and I'm sure he'd love to know he can still pull a woman, after 60-" he was cut off when you elbowed him in the stomach. "My point is, he's not gonna think you're a weirdo, he thinks you're super smart actually" he said and Y/N's grew wide.

"Really?" She asked and Bradley nodded. "Yeah, you know that stunt you pulled the other day when we were practicing dog fighting, Mav was super impressed, said he wouldn't even have thought to use it himself" Rooster said, oblivious to Y/N's jaw dropping.

"Maverick was impressed by me?" She asked, unnaturally shrill. She pressed a hand to her throat, cheeks tinted pick. "You see the problem" she said and Bradley nodded understandingly. "Don't worry, your wingman is here to do all the work, all you have to do is fly off into the sunset" he said, throwing an arm around her shoulders and mimicking a plane flying into the distance with his hand.

He clapped her on the shoulder before he got up and crossed to the other side of the bar where Pete was playing pool with Coyote and Payback.

She sat for about 20 minutes, watching the two chat, ignoring the side glances from Maverick she'd get every once in a while. Eventually Rooster came back and ordered another drink. "So?" She asked anxiously as he slowly sipped his coke.

"Go outside and see for yourself" he said, flicking the water droplets on his glass with his finger. Y/N carefully slipped of the barstool and balanced in between hers and Rooster's chair. She took a deep breath, downed a shot and strode out to the balcony. She knew she was walking rather fast but she was afraid if she slowed that she wouldn't go at all. She made it to the doorway and paused.

There was Maverick, leaning over the railing staring at the sea with a beer in one hand. The wind was blowing his hair and she could see a glint of gold in his eyes from this angle. Her foot felt like it weighed 100 pounds as she stepped out of the Hard Deck and onto the balcony. Pete turned around at the sound of her footsteps. No turning back now.

She stepped forward timidly, joining Pete at the railing. He smiled at her and she turned to face the other way, faking looking at the beach. Neither one spoke for a couple minutes before she heard the sound of Pete's voice.

"You know one day, a long time ago" he said with a chuckle. "Back when I was in top gun, my plane went down" he said and Y/N turned to listen but now it was him that was looking away, staring at the ocean. "We landed in the ocean. I was fine but" he paused. "My RIO didn't make it" he said quietly.

Y/N's hand covered her mouth in shock. "When I swam over to him, the whole parachute was covered in blood" he swallowed thickly. "He was my best friend. After I lost him I basically had no one" he exhaled slowly. "I cut off my girlfriend at the time, cut off everyone. It took everything in me just to get in a plane for months" he said.

Y/N reached her hand out and placed it upon his. He didn't look at her but he looked down at their hands and smiled softly. "I ended up pushing away anyone who got too close" he continued. "I mean I had friends, a couple pilots from my top gun days, students that I taught.

But I never let anyone get too close. Because I realised..." he squeezed the edge of her hand. "That I'd never experience that type of pain again, if I never let anyone in. And I was fine with it, lived like that for about 30 years. And then you came along" Y/N's eyes widened at his words.

"It's been a long time since I've felt this way for anyone. And that scares me... a lot. But I've been talking to Rooster and it took a while but" he paused. "I've given this a lot of thought and I really want to give you and me a try" he said in a low voice.

Y/N could feel her breath quickening, and her whole body grew hot. Her ears started ringing as she replayed Maverick's words over in her head. 'I really want to give you and me a try' echoed in her mind. She replayed it again 'I've been talking to Rooster and it took a while but' then she was confused.

"What do you mean it took a while" she asked. "How long is a while?" Maverick smirked at her softly. "About five months" he answered and her eyes widened. "F-five months?" She asked open mouthed. He nodded with a chuckle.

"Sorry it took so long" he said, Y/N was still in shock. "So what do you think? Wanna give us a shot?" Y/N knew what she wanted to say but the words struggled to make their way out of her mouth. "Wait- how did you know I liked you?”

Maverick's smirk grew wider as he looked down at her. "Sweetheart, it was obvious" he said and her cheeks flushed pink. She was silent for a second trying to make sense of everything that had happened before she blurted out a response.

"Yes- I- yes!" She practically jumped into Pete's arms wrapping her arms around his shoulders. She buried her face into his neck as he rubbed her back gently. He pressed a kiss to the side of her head as he pulled her close. She pulled back slightly, but Maverick didn't let her go. He brought a hand up to stroke her cheek as she played with the hair on his nape.

They stood there like that for a while before Maverick spoke "We should probably go inside" he whispered. "I think Rooster's gonna break a window, with how long he's been staring at us" he said nodding behind her at the moustached man who ducked out of view when he realised he had been caught. They laughed and walked inside hand in hand, earning cheers from the rest of the dagger squad.

Maverick x reader Oneshot

Phoenix tells you about her crush on Rooster leading you to confess your soft spot for a certain captain

Part 2

———————————————————————

Y/N and Phoenix were lying on their towels watching the others play dogfight football. Y/N took a sip from her drink before Phoenix let out a laugh. "Can I tell you something" she said, staring at the boys. Y/N followed her gaze to try and figure out exactly which one she was staring at but she got distracted by a certain brunette in the centre of their makeshift field.

Y/N was baffled that he had still managed to keep his aviators on, despite him being tackled to the sand at least twice. But he was fast, and often managed to escape Hangman's attack. "Y/N?" Phoenix called waving a hand in front of her face. "Yeah sorry, tell me what?" She asked, tearing her eyes away from Maverick. Phoenix hesitated, "Please don't make fun of me, and don't you dare tell anyone" she said, Y/N was intrigued now. "It's me, of course I won't tell anyone" she assured Phoenix. The pilot took a deep breath before speaking.

"I umm... I like someo-" Y/N interrupted her with a little squeal. "Tell me, tell me, tell me" she said grabbing Natasha's hands and shaking them around. "I was trying to" Phoenix said with a laugh. "It's..." she trailed off and her eyes went back to the boys game. Y/N let out a loud gasp "Is it one of them?" She asked, eyes wide and Phoenix nodded slowly. Y/N straightened up, surveying the pilots to see which one Phoenix might like. "Hangman, Payback, Fanboy, Bob!" She said very fast and Phoenix slapped a hand over her mouth before she could continue.

"Be quiet" she said, struggling to hold in her own giggle. The two girls laughed again. "Give me a clue" Y/N said and Phoenix smirked. "Well a little birdie-" "It's Rooster!!" Y/N exclaimed jumping up from her towel. "Shut up!" Phoenix whisper-yelled pulling her back down. "And maybe" she said, avoiding Y/N's eyes but her smile told her all she needed to know. "I mean I bet you're hoping that birdie ain't too little" Phoenix hit her stomach and they erupted into a fit of giggles again.

“You have to ask him out" Y/N said grasping Natasha's hands tighter. "I don't know" she said unsurely but Y/N wouldn't accept it. "At least consider it" she said looking at the brunette girl. Phoenix was quiet for a second before she agreed. Y/N squealed again, practically bouncing.

"What about you?" Phoenix asked as she stood up, walking onto the sand. Y/N followed her, looking out at the ocean. "I've never seen you go this long without a crush" Phoenix added and Y/N tried to hide her smile. "Well I mean I found someone but..." Phoenix waited anxiously for her to continue. "But what?" She asked exasperated. "He's a bit older than me, I don't think he'd even consider liking me cause of the age difference" she said sadly, kicking the sand with her foot.

“Oh c'mon, lots of guys like a younger girl, plus you're adorable, I'm sure you could weasel your way into any man's heart" she said and Y/N pushed her away with a chuckle. "I don't think so" she said quietly as she walked forward. Phoenix was determined to not let her think that way. "Tell me about him, and I'll tell you if I think you've got a chance" she said. Y/N turned back to her, raising her eyebrow. "Promise you won't make fun of me or tell anyone" she said, mimicking Phoenix's words from earlier. "Promise" she said, stepping forward to join the other girl.

"He's a little reckless, he acts younger than he is" Phoenix nodded as she spoke. "He's nice and funny and a little cheeky" she said with a small laugh. "Tell me what he wears, you can learn a lot about a guy from the way he dresses" she said brushing her hair back. "Well" Y/N knew if Phoenix hadn't figured it out from her last description, she'd definitely know from this. "Whenever I've seen him, besides his work clothes he wears jeans, these tight white t shirts" Natasha's eyebrow quirked and Y/N shoved her to the side muttering "shut up"

"Continue" she said, with a wide grin. "He always wears this brown bomber jacket covered in patches and I've never seen him without his aviators" Phoenix gasped and pointed toward the rowdy group. "Maverick?" She asked and when Y/N nodded she covered her mouth with her hand. "Oh my god" she said, voice muffled by her hand.

“I know" Y/N said sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck. "It's not my fault" she whined. "What, it's his?" Phoenix said, her tone dripping in sarcasm. "Yeah" Y/N mumbled weakly. "I mean look at him" she said gesturing to the boys. Y/N took a second to admire Maverick's shirtless form, his tanned chest as he stepped through the sand.

She watched him push his sunglasses further up his nose before she realised Phoenix was smirking at her. She felt her face go hot and it was most definitely red. Phoenix burst out laughing throwing an arm around the other girls shoulders. "Well I gotta I was not expecting that" she said with a chuckle. "But at least you've got a shot with Mav" Phoenix walked off in the direction of the boys game.

Y/N ran to catch up with her "What do you mean?" Phoenix stopped abruptly nearly making Y/N fall over. "I could totally see Mav going for a younger girl, he likes the confidence, he doesn't seem like he wants to settle down too soon and clearly he can keep up with the younger generation" she said nodding at their captain who was still full of energy despite having played for about an hour already. "Maverick's like one of those puppies, cocky and needs to run around for a while but he always comes back at the end of the day" Y/N raised an eyebrow.

“I know he seems super put together but I'm sure he's just a little teddy bear" Natasha assured her, rubbing her shoulder as the other girl stared at Maverick unsurely. "If you're wrong about this, I'll kill you" Y/N muttered. Phoenix laughed again. "You know you love me" the brunette girl said nudging Y/N in the ribs. "Course I do" she said nudging Natasha back.

“Hey what's going on here" Roosters voice floated from behind them. "Nothing!" Both girls said, very quickly. They giggled at Bradley's confused face. "Just girl stuff" Y/N said as the two ran to join the football game.

Hangman’s prank - Maverick x reader Oneshot

"Cmon Y/N, at least give him a chance" Hangman said walking into the bar with his arm around her shoulders. You had met Jake a while ago when he tried to hit on you, and even though you declined his advances you ended up staying friends.

He currently had you walking into a bar, for a blind date with some pilot you didn't know, despite having no recollection of agreeing to the date. Hangman says you agreed to it while drunk but Y/N knew she wouldn't have done it no matter how wasted she was.

Either way, here she was ordering a drink and waiting with Jake for her mystery man. Ten minutes past, then fifteen and if Jake hadn't been waiting with her, she would've thought it was an elaborate prank. "Maybe he's not coming" she said, a last desperate plea to leave before she was stuck on a date with someone she probably wouldn't like for the rest of the night.

Knowing Hangman's idea of 'good' the mystery pilot was probably cocky and dangerous. Y/N couldn't stand a night of bragging about the easiest air stunts. He probably wasn't even good looking she grumbled to herself. Luckily it was too loud for Hangman to hear.

Just as Hangman was about to order another round a man walked in and clapped Jake on the shoulder. "Hey, sorry I was late I couldn't find my sunglasses" he said, tapping the the dark aviators that were perched on his nose. Y/N turned around to get a better look at him.

He had a brown bomber jacket with a bunch of different patches, a tight white t shirt and washed out jeans. "All good Pops" Hangman replied turning to greet the other man. Then with his arm still around the man he turned to you. "Pops this is Y/N, Y/N this is Maverick" he said hitting the man's chest as he introduced him. "This is your blind date?" He said, turning to Maverick but looking at you.

"What?!" Y/N and Maverick said in sync and Hangman burst out laughing. "Oh my god, you guys should have seen the look on your faces" he said doubling over. Maverick rolled his eyes and Y/N glared at him. "Well have fun" he said, getting up and practically running out of the bar. "Jake! Jake get your but back here" she yelled but the pilot only waved her off.

"200 push-ups on Monday!" Maverick added and there was a noticeable drop to Hangman's shoulders when he heard that. Y/N and Maverick chuckled lightly before he turned to face her. "You can leave if you want to" The captain said patting the bar. "I'm here now, might as well stay" she said taking a sip of her drink.

He nodded as the bartender handed him a tall glass. "So how do you know Hangman?" He asked. "He tried to hit on me a while ago but I rejected him" Maverick snorted. "Sounds like Bagman" he said and Y/N hummed in agreement. "So you're a pilot" she said desperately trying to keep the conversation going.

Despite her initial reluctance something about Maverick seemed to interest her. "Yeah, I..." Y/N didn't hear the rest cause she was analysing his face. She noticed the way his eyes lit up, just from talking about flying and his smile. It was cheeky, and took Y/N's breath away. It was the type of smile you had to see again, the type that sent sparks through your body.

She realised Maverick had stopped talking and she struggled to find a response. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you still a captain if you've been flying for so long" she asked, trying to remember the little bits she had heard from his previous answer. "I don't wanna sit behind a desk or teach" he said rolling his eyes

"Not that it's bad, I'm just not a good teacher" he added quickly. "I'm a pilot, always was, always will be. Captain is the highest rank where I can still be in the air so" he trailed off and Y/N smirked. "Not big on change I see" she said and he smiled back, she felt butterflies in her stomach again. "Why mess with perfection" he said, Y/N raised her glass and Maverick clinked it against hers.

Y/N and Maverick were laughing as she got off his motorcycle and walked to her door. Pete stood on her doorstep while she dug her key out of her bag. "I had the best time today" she told him, beaming, her cheeks were sore from how much she was smiling.

Pete's grin matched her own as he replied. "I did too" she stared at his smile as she had every time she saw him for the past two weeks. The way his cheeks turned the lightest shade of pink and his eyes glittered in the sun. He stepped closer without her realising, and she found herself stepping toward him off her own accord.

His hand came up to her cheek and he held it gently, his other hand resting just above her waist. She could feel his thumb stroking back and forth on her cheek as he leaned in. She dropped her hands to lie on his chest as his lips met hers.

It was soft and sweet but it made Y/N see stars. Maverick pulled her closer and she curled a hand around his neck as he kissed her deeper. She felt lightheaded and dizzy when he finally pulled away and she was met with his signature smirk.

As she turned to unlock her door he slipped his sunglasses on. "See you next week" he said with a wink and he walked back to his bike. She waved at him before he left and once she was inside she sunk down against the back of the door, with a goofy smile on her face.

"Jake's gonna freak" she said laughing as her and Maverick walked into the bar. Today was the day Y/N was finally going to meet the dagger squad. Obviously she already knew Jake and she had met Bradley about two weeks ago, but she was meeting the rest of them today. It was Bradley's idea, to not tell Hangman that it Y/N was Pete's new girlfriend. He was even planning on filming Jake's reaction.

"He's been too cocky lately, I think he needs it" Pete said to the girl clutching his arm. "Look who's talking" she said and Maverick raised an eyebrow. "Hey, I'm 57 and still flying with them, I earned the right to be cocky" he said making Y/N giggle.

When they walked in Phoenix and Payback noticed them first. They waved the couple over while Rooster punched the air. They heard Rooster talking to Hangman once they got closer "Suck it Bagman!" He said to the blonde pilot sticking his tongue out as Jake slammed his cue down on the pool table.

"You got lucky Bradshaw" he said crossing his arms before he turned to face the newcomers. "Y/N what are you doing here? We're waiting for Maverick's girlfriend" he said not making the connection.

The rest of the dagger squad silently smirked as they waited for him to realise. Y/N saw Jake's eyes follow Maverick's arm that was curled around her waist and his eyes grew wide. His jaw dropped and he stuttered an unintelligible sentence.

"Wha- I?" Y/N held in a laugh as she spoke to Jake. "I don't know why you're surprised, you set us up in the first place" she said fluttering her eyelashes and placing a hand on Pete's chest. Hangman flailed his arms wildly as he replied "Well- yeah but it was a joke, I didn't think you two would actually-" he was cut off by Roosters loud laugh.

The brunette man was nearly doubled over in laughter. He would've been lying on the floor if not for the phone he held up, most likely filming Jake's reaction. Jake's face turned from shocked to mad. His cheeks turned bright red, from embarrassment or anger, maybe both. He grabbed Rooster and got him in a headlock, the other pilot still videoing.

Y/N laughed as Maverick started introducing her to the rest of the squad and the two of them relayed the story of how they met alongside a fuming Hangman. It became a running joke, Maverick and Y/N's relationship was all because of Hangman's prank.

Maverick x reader

Y/N's boyfriend breaks up with her on the day they're doing the bandit exercise. So Y/N pulls a stupid move in the air and when Maverick comes to punish her, he finds out and comforts her.

Y/C/S: your call sign

Y/L/N: your last name

Alex: your ex boyfriend's name

———————————————————————

Y/N woke up and immediately felt the dried tear stains on her cheeks. Her boyfriend, Alex, of 10 months had broken up with her yesterday, and the affair was not pretty. She hadn't gotten much sleep, due to her crying and thinking about her ex but she got up and got ready for work anyway.

That was one of the things she most loved about flying, it had the ability to distract her from everything else in her life. It didn't matter what was going on with her friends, her parents or boyfriend, once she got up in the air it was just her and her plane.

She splashed her face with cold water, to wake herself up and wash away the streaks that ran down her face. There were bags below her puffy eyes and red nose but she ignored them. She changed into her uniform, did her hair and makeup and got downstairs as quick as possible.

She wanted to get out of here as sons as possible. This is where all their arguments had happened, this is where he broke up with her. And as much as Y/N tried to deny it she felt like their break up was her fault. She almost always felt like that.

She didn't even bother to make herself breakfast, she just made a cup of coffee and decided to pick something up on her way to work.

As she walked into the makeshift classroom Hangman waved her over. "Whoa what happened to you?" He asked when she sat down. "You look like you haven't slept all night" he remarked with a laugh. "Not the best thing to say to a lady" Y/N replied turning her eyes down to the papers on her desk.

She wasn't in the mood to tell the Dagger squad about her Alex, and she was certain she couldn't do it without crying. She didn't want them to think she was weak, not just because they were her friends but also considering they were the best fighter pilots on earth.

Luckily Maverick walked in two seconds later, saving her a further explanation of her physical state. "All right guys, we ran through most of the theory yesterday so all of you should know everything you need to get you through that mountain course within the time limit. Now it's just who has the skills to do it" he paused and looked over everyone.

(Maverick's Pov)

As I looked over everyone, I noticed Y/N. Usually she would look up at me, probably the only one who would be engaged while listening to me, but now her head was in her hands as she stared down at the desk. When I stopped talking she looked up expectantly and I noticed the bags under her eyes, eyes that looked fuller than they used to.

No matter how much he searched he couldn't seem to find the light that seemed to live behind her eyes, a light he saw every time she looked at him. Her hair seemed messier and her entire body seemed tense and tired at the same time. He carried on speaking, but kept glancing back at Y/N. Maverick was good at trusting his gut, and he had a strong feeling that something was wrong.

(Y/N's Pov)

Maverick paused for a second before speaking again. "You'll be doing this in 3's, Hangman, Rooster and Coyote. Phoenix, Bob and Y/C/S..." She zoned out once she heard her name and let her eyes fall back down to her desk.

She was jolted out of her daze when Maverick clapped his hands and she heard the scraping of chairs. She tried to pull herself up without looking like she was using too much effort and everyone except Maverick, unbeknownst to her missed the way she rubbed her eyes.

(Time skip to when you, Phoenix and Bob are flying the course)

Y/N shifted her controls, eyes set dead ahead. She had been in the air for a good ten minutes and she couldn't stop thinking of Alex. She was getting frustrated now. She hated feeling this way and the one thing that usually took her mind of it wasn't working.

She had half a mind to fly herself into the mountainside, she couldn't possibly think about him if she was stranded in the middle of nowhere and probably injured as well.

"Unidentified just showed up on the radar" Bob's voice drifted through her headset. "You think it's from our side" Y/N asked Natasha. Before she could answer another voice came spoke. "Good morning pilots" Y/N breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it was Maverick.

"I am going to be playing the role of a bandit trying to hinder you on your mission. You must make it to the course without being shot down by me" he said. He sounded as if he was reading off a piece of paper from the awkward way he said 'hinder'.

A very unlike Pete thing to say. She snorted imagining Mav rolling his eyes after he said it. "Still wanna continue the course?" I asked Phoenix secretly hoping she'd say yes. "Yeah let's do it" she said and I smiled to myself.

Usually I was a careful pilot, I had every method to fly a course and do it safely. I wasn't the type to do something risky, they had rules for a reason and I figured you couldn't go wrong by doing it by the book.

As Phoenix Bob and I continued the course Maverick got closer. He was gaining on us rapidly that I knew we wouldn't make it to the mountain. Maybe I was feeling reckless, or I felt like I couldn't control anything except me and my plane but I ended up doing something stupid.

I dropped low, extremely low between the mountains. I stopped quite quickly and waited for Maverick to pass me before flying after him. He saw me almost immediately and I knew he was preparing for a dog fight. What I wasn't expecting was for him to fly above me and then flip upside down before he shot me.

"That's a lock Y/C/S, you're dead" I banged the seat beside me in frustration and instead of flying back to base I cut in front of Maverick, flying straight up barely a meter in front of him. I saw him flinch and pull back in shock before I flew away and heard his voice through the comms

"What kind of shit was that!" He yelled and Y/N winced but didn't answer. She know what she had done was stupid and she wasn't prepared to deal with it. On her way back to base she heard Phoenix and Bob go down as well, while she had delayed Maverick she certainly hadn't stopped him.

When she got back to ground she ran out of her plane and indoors. She ignored the stunned looks from her fellow pilots and went straight to the locker room. She peeled off her helmet and sat down on one of the benches with her head in her hands. She wasn't sure how long she sat like that until she heard the doors crash open.

Maverick burst into the locker room looking absolutely livid. His chest was heaving and his fists were clenched as his eyes found Y/N. He walked toward her and pulled her up by her collar. "What the hell were you thinking!" He asked and she could practically feel the heat radiating off of him.

"I don't know sir" she said in a smile voice. "That was the stupidest manoeuvre you could've pulled Y/C/S" he spat. The way he said her call sign with such venom sent a pang of pain through her chest. "I know sir" "Oh so we're polite and respectful now, where was that sensibility when we were up in the air!" He yelled and Y/N felt a tear run down her cheek.

Her face was burning, with disappointment and rage and twenty more things. She was pretty sure she had just ruined the one good thing in her life and she felt like sinking into the floor forever. "I just don't understand Y/N, this is so unlike you. Did something happen, is- is there a reason you're acting like this?"

Her mind instantly flitted to Alex but she wasn't about to say that. "N-no sir" she said, barely above a whisper. "I assume you don't want to kill yourself, I mean you're an excellent pilot you've got all your friends, what about your boyfriend wouldn't he care if you got hurt or died because you did something stupid"

She remembered the day Phoenix had told Maverick about Alex. It was about 8 months into their relationship and Ice was trying to convince Y/N to talk to a guy at the Hard Deck. She remembered Mavericks smirk as she blushed when she told them about her boyfriend.

Deep down part of her wondered what it would be like if she could date her captain. But she put that thought aside quite quickly. There was no sense in ruining her relationship because of a crush that was probably unrequited.

Y/N felt as if her heart ripped in two when he said that and she had no energy to keep pretending. "Not anymore" she mumbled but Maverick heard. He sat down beside her confused. "What do you mean?" Her tears were falling hot and thick now but she kept her head down as she had through their whole encounter.

(Maverick's Pov)

I heard her choke as she answered me and suddenly I was confused. It was only now that I noticed I hadn't even seen her face since I had barged into the locker room. "Y/N" I said quietly but she didn't answer. "Y/N look at me" I said. She was silent for a moment before shaking her head. "Y/N" I started, preparing to coax her into looking at me but she shook her head harder letting out a small sob.

I tried once more, I spoke her name quietly and lifted her chin with my finger. This time it worked and she lifted her head, but didn't look at me, instead staring off to the side. Her cheeks were covered in tears, her nose was red and her eyes were puffy. I felt my heart break as I looked at her face and swallowed deeply to try and compose myself. She sniffled still not looking at me.

"What happened?" I asked and she looked down again. "Alex broke up with me" she said in a small voice and I felt a funny feeling in my chest. Like my heart soaring and dropping at the same time. Obviously I hated that she was going through this but there was a little part of me that thought maybe I've got a shot now.

But I put that part of me aside. Right now I needed to be there for Y/N. "I'm so sorry" I said and she took a shaky breath in. "I feel like it's all my fault and I thought flying would distract me from it but it didn't and then I did that dumb move and I know it was stupid but-"

Maverick shushed her and put an arm around her shoulder rubbing it gently. "Listen it's more than okay to feel like this, but it's not okay to put yourself or others in jeopardy" he said firmly and she nodded, wiping her cheek with her sleeve. "I'm supposed to punish you, but considering we can both agree that this is very unlike you and I'm sure you won't to anything like this again..."

Maverick paused to get her confirmation. After she nodded again he continued "I'll let this one slide" he said gently. "Thanks" the young girl said and as she moved to wipe her face again Maverick grabbed her wrist to stop her. He pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and dried her face softly.

Y/N allowed her eyes fall closed and let out a tired sigh. She felt surprisingly comfortable with Maverick, there was always a sense of trust she had with him that she didn't have with anyone else. Pete stroked a hand over cheek lightly before kissing her on the forehead and standing up. She was so shocked and flustered by his last movement that her face grew hot again.

(Y/N's Pov)

"Take the rest of the day off Y/L/N" he said looking at her from the doorway. "Yes sir" she replied and he walked out. She thought about Pete as she played with the handkerchief in her hands. She laughed to herself.

Only he would be old enough to own a handkerchief and still use it. That was one of the things she loved about him, he both refused to get old and acted like it at the same time. I guess there's a lot of things she loved about Pete. Y/N felt like she had just discovered one more.

Anthony Lockwood x fem or gn reader please

Super fluffy and domestic like baking cookies or cuddling or like falling asleep together in his house

Basically just tooth rotting fluff with Lockwood and Reader

Baking mess

Anthony lockwood x reader

Notes: Should be gn but might use female terms.

Warnings; Nothing

It was so quiet in the house it almost seem peaceful everyone being asleep, even George because you like to set him free from having to cook. I loved baking and cooking and knowing how hard all of them work, there’s no reason for them to do it when you’re around.

So flipping the pancake over in the pan, you had made more then enough for you all and the stack was almost going to fall. That’s when you jump out of your skin and scream, ready to hit what ever touched you. You felt hands wrapping around your waist and if you’d die it better be fighting.

You turned around and swung at who ever was behind had you, before you realize who it was your wrist was grabbed and held in place. “Careful now, love. Wouldn’t want to hurt this pretty face that you seem to love.” You sighed in relief and let out a huff. “Why did you sneak up on me?” You asked while yelling a bit but calmed yourself down.

Even though he scared you that didn’t stop your mouth from smiling and a light tone in your voice. “I didn’t think you’d get scared,” he leaned forward and kissed your cheek, “But I apologize.” You hummed in acceptance and turned back around to take the last pan cake off the pan.

He went back to wrapping his arms around you and you had to work your way to move around while he still holding onto you. But you managed and finally got the plate to the table. “It smells delicious.” He mumbled into your shoulder where he rested his head. This was how he acted when he was tired and the two of you were alone, so clinging and adorable.

“You sound tired, why don’t you go back to bed.” You pointed out and tired to get him to rest. “No, I can’t waste a second with you.” He stood up straight and yawned. “I am always here but rest isn’t something you do often.” He rolled his eyes playfully at you.

“I can say the same thing about you, but no need to pick at each other. Because I have a better idea.” he walked over to the cabinets and pulled out another pan. “We are going to make your famous cookies.”

“It’s to early for cooki-” you were shut up by his lips and you almost didn’t even see him move, he was so fast you had no time to react. It was a loving kiss and you felt warm inside when he was near you. “Always time for them, now help me get started. I have no clue what I’m doing.”

You huffed a laugh and pushed passed him to get started. You got all the ingredients out and started to combine them together and letting him do most of the work but you telling him what to do.

“Now, where is the-” You stopped dead in your tracks and a shrieking gasp left your throat as a cold gooey liquid fell off the top of your head. The crack and the slap you felt on your head made you know for sure what it was.

“Anthony Lockwood.” You turned around slowly and gave him a death glare but his face was as smug as ever. You wanted to knock him down with you, so before thinking you took a hand full of flour and threw it at him.

You smirked in victory at the powder that went all over him and the small shock on his face. “Not so smug now are you.” He took that as a challenge. “Bring it on, love.” And with that the both of you started to throw things at each other and not caring about anything else.

It’s been a while since you had a chance to be teenagers, just having fun and not a care in the world like it should be. So you enjoyed it while it lasted. Until you both went for each other and each slipped on the mess on the floor an hit the ground with a loud thud.

You both landing on each other, it was a shock but you both actually didn’t care. That’s when the door burst open to show George who looked annoyed but as soon as he saw the mess and then you two on the floor he got angrier. 

“What the hell are you two doing?” George shouted at you. That’s when the two of you turned back to each other and as soon as your eyes locked…You both began to laugh.

The both of you in the floor covered in so many things and laughing like maniacs anyone would call you crazy. But that didn’t matter as long as you two were having fun….

Until you had to make George forgive you.

Wednesday: You meet a girl at a funeral who likes flowers just as much as you do

Wednesday stood staring at crowds of people shrouded in black, seated on chairs in near little rows. She happily clutched a bouquet of white roses, oh how she loved funerals. She had even worn her best dress for the occasion, long and black with sleeves that flowed down to her wrists.

The twelve year old girl stood up, carefully and swept across the ground to place the flowers on the grave of an old family friend. One she didn't know much, one of those family friends who saw her as a baby and then never again. But it didn't matter, as long as it was a funeral she could enjoy it.

As she walked back to her seat she saw a figure in the bushes beside the last line of chairs. She sat down slowly still glancing over occasionally. Once the procession had finished Wednesday stood up and escaped her family with the excuse of getting something to eat.

She traipsed over to the bushes and the person she had seen earlier. It was a kid, probably the same age as her, with H/C hair, and bright E/C eyes. They were playing with flowers on the bush and as she approached they smiled up at her. "Hi" they spoke. "Hi" Wednesday replied. "I'm Y/N" they said reaching a hand up to shake Wednesday's hand.

She took it reluctantly letting it go quite quickly. "What are you doing?" She asked looking down at Y/N's dirt covered fingernails. "Just looking at the flowers" they said with a smile. "It's a bit of a hobby" they said chuckling slightly. Wednesday sat down next to her, smoothing out her dress once she had done so.

"This one's called" "The midnight flower" Wednesday cut them off. "You know it?" Y/N asked surprised. "It's a nocturnal plant that sleeps during the day and glows neon at night to attract insects" she answered touching the blue plant delicately.

"Wow, not many people are interested in flowers" they said with a small laugh. Not many people wear a flower crown to a funeral Wednesday said, nodding at the flowery circlet strung over Y/N's forehead. They laughed "You're funny" they said. "I know"

Enid: You meet at a campfire through family friends

Y/N shifted on their log, slowly twisting the marshmallow atop their stick as their brothers rolled around on the floor near her. They dodged as they tackled each other directly in front of the fire and they flicked off the sand they had knocked onto her knee.

"Lighten up Y/N, the whole family loves camping" their mother said as she unpacked a cooler bag full of meat. "Yeah, all werewolves love camping" her father added pushing her brother's head away as he nearly took her father's eye out. "Not me" Y/N muttered under their breath. "I swear, If you hadn't wolfed out I would've thought you got switched at birth" their mother said tutting. "Yeah yeah" Y/N said.

By now they had grown accustomed to the constant taunting from their brothers and subtle retorts their parents about her not being a wolf. They knew there was practically nothing lycanthropic about them except for the fact that they could wolf out.

However, since Y/N was a proven werewolf their family had to keep them in her pack, meaning they was stuck with them forever even though they believed there was a one in a million chance that they would find a mate. As their parents loved to say "no matter whether or not you're a lycanthrope, what mate would want a werewolf that doesn't act like a werewolf"

They sighed and went back to watching their marshmallow burn until their parents looked up at the sound of a large caravan. "Aah the Sinclair's are here" their mother said as she stood up to greet them. 'Great, more werewolves" they thought begrudgingly. Y/N ignored the loud chatter behind them of their brothers and parents catching up with their family friends and continued roasting her marshmallow which was burnt to a crisp by now.

They felt a presence beside them and they turned to see a young girl, about the same age as them. Blonde, with pink streaks in her hair and bright green eyes. As Y/N looked down at their clothes they were met with an explosion of colour.

The girl was clad in a bright pink coat and a lighter pink for her t shirt. She had black tights with yellow stars and chunky pink boots. Her nails were decorated with rainbow colours that matched her eyeshadow. "Hi" she said as she sat down. Y/N smiled politely but didn't say anything. "I'm Enid" she said and stuck out a hand for Y/N to shake. They did so, a little hesitantly but they shook it nonetheless.

"How come you're sitting alone" she said, asking the very question Y/N had been dreading. "I don't like playing with my brothers" they answered. "Oh that makes sense" Enid said glancing over at the group of boys that were now wrestling on the grass

"I don't really like hanging with my family either" she said with a slight laugh. "I'm a little... different to them" she said gesturing to her siblings that had now joined Y/N's brothers and they suddenly felt a surge of affection for the girl. Y/N turned to look at Enid "I know the feeling" they said.

Xavier: You are partners for a project in art class

Xavier sat down on his stool and tossed his bag onto the floor beside him. He was the first one to arrive. This was his first year with art as an elective course, meaning they could do more advanced work instead of basic painting for everyone. He tapped his pencil on the table trying to get rid of his excess energy. He tried to hide his excitement as other students started filing in.

After about ten minutes almost all the seats were filled and he saw a figure come up to his desk. "Is anyone sitting here?" a voice asked. "No, go ahead" he said gesturing beside him. They took the seat and he looked at who it was. Another Nevermore student with H/L, H/C hair and E/C eyes. Just after they had sat down the teacher walked into the class and stood in front of the large desk at the front. They gave a short introduction and then explained the syllabus for the year. "The first assignment is a partner project with your desk mate" Xavier and his desk mate glanced at each other. "You are required to create a passion project on something that is meaningful to both of you. It could be a common interest, something you both identify with or a shared experience. So you will have the whole lesson to get to know each other and I suggest you also make plans outside of lessons for the best results. That is all" after their speech the class broke out into a quiet chatter. Xavier turned to his partner "I'm Xavier" he said. "Y/N" they replied

Tyler: You have just moved to Jericho and you visit the WeatherVane

Y/N walked into the Weathervane, and a little bell tinkled above their head. They had just moved to Jericho and an old friend had recommended they should go there. It was around 4 on a Wednesday so the coffee shop was completely empty. They sat down at a little booth in the counter and a barista came up to take their order.

"Hi, I'm Tyler what can I get for you today?" He asked. "Tall latte with caramel syrup" they replied and he nodded before walking away. They looked at him carefully as he busied about behind the counter. He had light brown curly hair and very green eyes. He had a red apron tied around his torso and he was rather tall, they noticed.

Outside the window were two shops in stark contrast. A very bright loud shop with 'Hawte Couture" emblazoned above the entrance and a smaller darker store with gold letters that read 'Uriah's Heap' on the window.

Tyler walked back to their table and set down a large mug along with a chocolate chip cookie. "Thanks. Oh, um I didn't order a cookie" they said confusedly. "I know, it's on the house" he said with a laugh and Y/N smiled in response. Tyler sat down on the other side of the booth with his elbows resting on the table.

"So are you visiting or new?" He asked. "How do you know I haven't lived here for a while and I just haven't come in here" they asked raising an eyebrow. "Well there's no other coffee shop in town, so everyone comes here and considering you're a teen I'm sure this isn't the first time you've come to a coffee shop" he answered.

"Also I'm sure I'd remember seeing someone so beautiful if I'd seen you before" he added looking down as a light blush covered his cheeks. The line took Y/N by surprise and they too blushed. "You are correct, I just moved to Jericho" she said with a laugh . "Cool" he replied awkwardly, his cheeks still dusted pink. The bell tinkled as another customer walked in. "Guess I'll see you around" he said as he stood up from the booth. "See you around" she said and he walked away.

Ajax: You're friends with Ajax's younger sister and you spend a week at his house.

It was the summer holidays of Y/N's third year at Nevermore at they were at their friend Vera's house for a week. They and Vera were currently outside playing with an old soccer ball Vera had found, probably her brother's.

"I'm telling you Y/N, this is the first year we're allowed to compete for the Poe Cup and we are gonna crush it. Edgar Hall will see glory once again" she said dramatically, raising a fist into the air. "There are no rules in the Poe Cup" a voice from behind her spoke. "Which means, the best way to win is to sabotage your competition, otherwise they'll sabotage you, and we both know you are far too nice for that" the voice continued, stepping out from the back doorway of Vera's house.

A boy walked forward onto the green lawn. Tall, with a white shirt and a bright green beanie. He had warm brown eyes that took Y/N by surprise, though they were the same shade as Vera's there was an unfamiliar warmness to them, that instantly comforted them. Vera rolled her eyes and turned back to face Y/N. "This is my brother Ajax, Ajax this is Y/N" she introduced. "Oh, hi" Y/N said, she knew Ajax well from Vera's constant rants about her annoying brother.

Ajax was a year and a half older than her and seemed to be liked by almost everyone. Ajax stuck out a hand and she shook it politely. "Nice to finally meet the great Y/N" he said with a smile. "Vera's been taking about you non stop for the past two weeks" he said glancing at Vera. "No kidding, I can't even count the about of rants I've heard about annoying Ajax" they said and he let out a loud laugh.

"Is this what you've been telling people?" Ajax asked the brown haired girl. "That I'm just some annoying older brother" he said, pulling his sister in for a noogie. "It's true" she growled pushing her way out of his grip. "Well since Y/N is here for a week, she can judge for herself whether I'm extremely annoying and we'll see who's right" he proposed looking at Y/N questioningly and Vera raised her eyebrows amusedly.

"Uh sure" they said unsurely with a small chuckle. "I look forward to spending more time with you this week, Y/N" Ajax said with a wink and Y/N felt their face flush. "Ha ha, yeah"

Bianca: She saved you from morning song

(You are grieving the death of someone and you go to morning song for self help.)

Y/N sat clutching her knees, on a pillow in front of Gabrielle. Her face was bleak as she tried to make sense of the numbers in front of her. "Have you made a decision dear?" Bianca's mother asked kindly looking at the girl sympathetically. "Umm" she trailed off.

"You know, for $20 we have financial managers who can help you plan out the best course of action with what funds you have, and you'd barely have to do any work" she said eyeing Y/N hopefully. "That would be really helpful, actually, could I have that" she asked and Gabrielle nodded happily.

"Just put your credit card, wallet the form with your bank details on here" she said pulling out a big black box. "And we'll take care of the rest" Y/N pulled her wallet out, then hesitated. "Maybe I could talk to my financial manger before doing this?" She said and then she felt dizzy. A pink sheen glossed over everything and she felt dazed.

Gabrielle's face was the only thing that was clear in front of her. "It'll be fine dear, you can talk to him after you put your funds in the box" she said, her voice sounded more ethereal than before. Y/N's hand was slowly moving toward the box when suddenly a young girl burst into the room.

"What the hell are you doing?" She yelled knocking Y/N's hand out of the way. Gabrielle desperately tried to grab Y/N's wallet as it hit the floor but the girl kicked it away. "Bianca what is the meaning of this?" The older woman asked indignantly. "I am in the middle of a meeting with a client" she said sitting back down behind her desk. "You mean in the middle of scamming an innocent girl"

The girl who seemed to be Bianca said. "You can wait outside and I will talk to you once I'm finished with Y/N" Gabrielle said smiling at Y/N. "Absolutely not, I'm not letting you take advantage of a young girl" Bianca grabbed Y/N's wallet from the floor, pulled her out of her seat and led her out of Gabrielle's office an arm around her shoulders. "You didn't give her any other money right? Credit card number, bank details?" Bianca asked with furrowed eyebrows. "No" Y/N replied. "Good"

"I'm Bianca by the way" the girl said reaching out to shake her hand. "Y/N"
