Blind Date- Bob Floyd

Pairing: Bob Floyd x Female Reader, Brother!Bradley x Sister!Reader

Summary: Bradley asks Bob to "babysit" his not so little sister.

Word Count:

Warnings: Bob being adorable, light cursing, fluff

At the end of every Wednesday, Lieutenant Bob Floyd looks forward to quietly changing in the locker room before heading home and being officially more than halfway done the work week. Sure, he'll wave or nod and say his goodbyes to his friends for the evening. But there is nothing Bob looks forward to more than shutting off his mind as he shuts his locker door. What he does not expect is Bradley grinning a wide smile on the other side of that door. "Bob, my man! How you doin'?".

Bob flinches, a light rose color dusting his cheeks and almost up to his ears. "I-I'm alright, Rooster, what can I help you with?" Bradley looks at Bob incredulously and slightly offended.

"What makes you think I need something, Bobby?" Bradley asks as Bob puts the lock securely on his locker. "Can't I say "what's up" to my favorite Weapons System Officer?" Bob pulls his bag over his shoulder, meeting Bradley's gaze with a deadpanned look. Bradley rolls his eyes and releases a deep breath. "Alright so I need a favor". The pair walk towards the parking lot together, Bob letting out a low, knowing chuckle.

"What is it now, Rooster?" Bob asks. "I told you I'm not really comfortable sharing answers during exams". Bradley nods his head as if to say "yeah, yeah" and nudges Bob's shoulder lightly.

"And while I'm still sure that you'll change your mind one these days," Bradley starts. "I need a different favor. I kinda need a babysitter". Bob almost drops his keys in surprise. Surely, if Rooster had a kid, he would've told them. At least Phoenix, right?

"I-I didn't even know you had a kid!" Bob stutters, blushing and throwing his bag into the front seat of his truck.

"Woah, woah, Floyd" Bradley interjects, hands waving frantically. "No little Roosters around here. At least, I don't think that there are". Bob nods, still confused about why Bradley would need a babysitter. Bob was pretty sure Rooster only had a goldfish at home. "My little sister is moving to the area on Friday, but I've got a date that night that I really can't cancel... again". Bradley meets Bob's confused gaze with a sheepish shrug. "I don't want her first night to be all by herself, and you're the only friend of mine I know that-"

"That won't try to pull a "Hangman" on her?" Bob finishes Rooster's sentence and watches his a grateful smile relax on his face.

"See? I knew you'd get it!" Bradley grips Bob by the shoulder and playfully shakes him. "So you'll watch her for me on Friday?" Bob grimaces and shrugs, shoulder still being held by Rooster.

"Watch her? Like sit on the couch and stare at her all night?" Bob asks for clarification. Bradley scoffs before laughing and removing his hands from Bob to rest at his sides.

"Don't be weird, Floyd, not like that" Rooster jokes. "Maybe show her around town, take her to dinner, something like that?" Now, Bob is even more confused.

"So, you want me to take your sister out," Bob tries, once again, to clarify. "Like a date?" Rooster shrugs, a sly smile tugging on his lips. "I don't know man, that's your sister. Maybe it's a bad idea".

"Or....maybe it's the best idea!" Bradley counters, making Bob roll his eyes. "Come on, man! She's new to the area, and I think a nice guy showing her around would really be the best start to her transition to a new place". Bob still isn't convinced, but a tight lipped smile and nod come out of him anyway.

"And going out Nat and the girls wasn't option?" Bradley shakes his head.

"Nah, Nat's been hanging with Seresin and those guys too often nowadays. Definitely wanna wait until I introduce her to all them". Bob definitely nods along to that. Sometimes Phoenix has to actually drag Bob out when she's hanging with that group, and he never has as much fun as she promises.

"How old is she anyway?"

"She'll be 26 in a couple months, shes moving out here to be closer to me after being abroad for a bit". Bob nods, leaning his side against the front of his truck. "Please, Man?" Bradley pleads with seriousness. "You're like the only guy I can think of that I'd be remotely okay with being alone with my sister. Just one night! And if you guys don't hit off, you both can say you went out and met a new face. No harm, no foul. Please?"In all honesty, it's not like he already has plans for this Friday, aside from cooking up something easy and catching up on his "to be read" pile of books.

"Alright, man, I'll take her out Friday" Bob concedes, making Bradley bounce up and down.

"I owe you big time, Dude!" Bradley tightly embraces Bob, making him chuckle. "I'll text you her new address and have you pick her up at what, six?"

"Sure, man, that's fine". Bob confirms, still slightly unsure about what he's just agreed to. He opens his car door again, ready to go home. "I gotta pick up stuff for dinner tonight, see you tomorrow?"

Rooster checks the time. "Shoot yeah, no problem. I forgot how late it was, see ya tomorrow!" Rooster turns his back to walk towards his car as Bob hop into his, windows rolling down. "Oh, wait!" Bradley turns around. "D'ya want to see a picture of her?" Bob thinks for a second and shakes his head.

"That's alright, I'm just happy to help". Bob shrugs. "Just as long as she wasn't born with the same mustache as you". Rooster laughs.

"She wishes she could look as good as me" He rubs his mustache and gloats. "But I promise I wouldn't set you up with someone crazy looking, even if she's my sister!" Bradley starts back to his car. "You'll see on Friday, man!" Bob shoots him an uneasy thumbs up and backs his truck out of his parking space. It's not like he isn't curious of what she looks like. But if she's a head-turner like all the girls make Rooster out to be, Bob feels like he might be in way over his head.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Come Friday evening, Bob had become a nervous wreck. While he kept reassuring himself Rooster's "no harm, no foul" mantra, his anxious thoughts always beat their way back into his mind. He tried not to imagine what you would look like, be like, but it was a challenge. Bob mostly wanted to live up to his end of the favor and show you a great time, but his confidence in that was not high. Bob's ideal night would be inside, preferably in his kitchen trying out a new recipe, and then eating said recipe on the couch or on his deck with a good book. He couldn't imagine how bad he would feel if he accidentally bored you right back out of town. "You got the address right, Bob?" Rooster confirms from across the bench in the locker room. Bob made sure to take extra time in the shower after work to not smell like jet fuel or his worn out flight suit. Looking into his tiny locker mirror, Bob buttoned the button on his dress shirt and adjusted his hair. He was buckling his belt around his nicely pressed pants that matched his casual dress shoes, a tip he came across in a self confidence book, when Rooster broke him from his thoughts.

"I got it", Bob nods. "Only a twenty minute ride out from here. She knows I'll be there at six?" Bradley nods and looks Bob up and down, making him blush. "Do I look like a dork?" he asks, making Rooster chuckle.

"You look great, Man, don't sweat it." A small smile paints Bob's face. "What have you got planned for tonight?"

"There's, um, a nice little restaurant by the water I get takeout from sometimes that I made reservations for," Bob explains tentatively. "I was thinking about showing her downtown so she knows where everything is if she needs something while she settles in here". Rooster dramatically presses his hand to his heart and sighs.

"And this is exactly why I wanted you to be the one to take her out!" Rooster zips up his bag. "I knew you'd make it all nice and cute for her!" Bob smiles and, if he can be honest with himself, feels a little better about tonight. "Just not too cute" Bradley deadpans. "She's still my little sister". And there goes feeling better about tonight.

"Oh n-no, I-I wouldn't even-" Bradley cackles over Bob's hurried stuttering.

"I'm just messing, Bob, easy there!" A strangled laugh escapes Bob, the blush still painting his face a bright red. "Seriously, don't sweat it, okay? No harm, no foul". Bob nods as Rooster pats him on the back.

"No harm, no foul", he repeats back to his friend with an unconvincing smile.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking up to your house, Bob was praying that the sweat would only be noticeable to him and not you. He did, however, seek comfort in his choosing of flowers, noticing how the flowers planted in front of your bungalow matched the pink peonies he had picked for you. With a deep breath and quick swipe to his forehead, he knocked on your door. The sweat instantly reappeared on his forehead, however, upon you opening your door. "Hi," you said softly, unknowingly knocking the air out of his lungs. "It's Bob, right?"

"Yes- yes ma'am, I-I'm Bob" The WSO manages to get over as evenly as possible. "These are for you," he blurts out, handing you the flowers, gasping quietly to himself as your fingertips brush against his. There's comfort for him in noticing your cheeks becoming a deep crimson, topped off by an even wider and brighter smile than you had upon opening the door.

"I love them, thank you so much! Would you mind coming in while I put these in water? I think I have the vases packed around here somewhere". Bob nods, following your figure into your house. While walking through your entryway, Bob took note of the warmth you have already brought to your home already, despite still having boxes within each room. "I'm so sorry about the boxes," you chuckle sheepishly. "Bradley was supposed to help me unpack, but I'm sure you also know how flight he can be". Bob chuckles, relieved to be acting more comfortably than a couple minutes ago.

"I could always give you a hand with these", Bob offers effortlessly. "If- if you need it, I mean". He cringes at his need to always over-analyze everything he ever says to pretty women.

"Oh you would? That would be so great!" You chirp, placing the flowers into a vase you were lucky to find in a box on your first try. "Bradley said you were super nice and sweet, I just thought he was just saying that to get me off his back about ditching me tonight". Bob laughs, his shoulders relaxing a bit. You round the corner of the kitchen island and are at Bob's side, so close that he can see the shimmer of gloss on your lips. "Ready to go?" You ask him, taking note of the cute way Bob's tongue peaks out of the corner of his mouth while glancing at your lips.

“You might make a man short-circuit”. Bob doesn’t feel the words leave his mouth, but feels his stomach drop to his feet. “I’m so sorry! I-I didn’t realize I said that out loud”. Now Bob knows the sweat is very much visible on his forehead, his heart racing as fast as the heat rushes to your cheek with a surprised, and somewhat impressed, smile.

“Well, we can’t have that, can we?” You ask playfully, slipping your hand into his much bigger and equally as warm ones. “Is this okay?” You ask, looking up with those beautiful eyes he got lost in, in the first place. “I’d hate to have my tour guide short circuit on me before showing me around”. Now, that earned a chuckle and eye roll to compliment the ever deepening blush on Bob’s cheeks.

Bob’s hand squeezes yours before moving towards the door. “We wouldn’t want that, would we?” Your smile broadens.

“Lead the way”.

Planning on at least making another part, if not a mini series. Let me know what you think! Xxxx

LMFAO THAT'S SO HIM AND NESSA CODED

like he'd absolutely say confusing shit all the time and she'd literally just sigh and explain said confusing shit to the rest of the bolts

Bob: You know, I never took the STD test.

*room goes completely quiet*

Bob: I probably would have failed them.

*everyone looks to you in absolute horror*

You: *sighs* He means SAT’s…

Yelena: Oh, thank God.

Bob: Wait, what did I say?
