warning : enemies to lovers, bradley bit of a dick in the start not gonna lie , bet trope , age gap ( ten years hes 38 , she 28 ) this series is gonna be a roller coaster of emotions

They were soulmate platonic  where Mav was, goose was not far behind , both mischievous , both good at what they did . best friends til the end of time even if the time was short lived . so naturally people thought it would be the same with their kids and yet they were very wrong. It was like the two were fire and ice constantly going against each other whenever they got close .  there was a break she went to med school as bradley was back at top gun only for their secret feud to fire back up when she was transferred to a hospital right in san diego and of course she was able to win the hearts of the dagger squad and her turning up to the hard deck it was his worst nightmare come true . if they weren’t locked in the childish back and forth it was ignoring the other existence all together which honestly their friends preferred and as aggravating as y/n mitchell could be nothing was going to dampen bradley bradshaws mood tonight. He almost floated over to his friends the moment he step into the hard deck . the smile on his face was almost cheek splitting when they all looked at him . 

“ guess who got a date with the barista” he flashed his dazzling smile pulling the aviator to perch on his nose . 

“  nice even for you chicken” hangman nodded. 

“ well bagman you know i could give you some advice  , i mean i guess it been a dry spell” he shrugged taking his seat beside phoenix who rolled her eyes and called them both “ disgusting pigs”. 

“ yeah i don’t need advice we both now i do well and even better than you” . 

“ god you both ever gonna tire of the hook ups “ she groaned . 

“ hey this could be best date of my life and she could be the one” bradley smirked. 

Before they could even say more the door open and an excited y/n bounded towards them . 

“ i pass the interview i passed it” she yelled excitedly. 

“ wait the internship in new york?” nat asked unsure of how to feel . 

“ yes it’s not til six month from now but  in six month i will be heading to big city and studying under the greats of pediatrics “ she excitedly dance in her spot barely even sparing the usually happy man in her wake. 

“A date with hot ass woman and she leaving jesus this is my lucky day” rooster felt like crying he was so happy. 

“ in six month pornstache … wow playing in the dog park finally worked out good job” she smiled only for jake to lift her up and spin her around . 

“Knew you could do it , what i tell you this morning” he chuckled ruffling her hair. 

“ not to doubt myself “ she smiled bashfully . “ shit there’s my dad i’ll be back “ she giggled rushing off . 

“ or don’t that’s a good option “ rooster smiled. 

“ i don’t get why you don’t like her” fanboy mused . 

“ because you’ll learn like i did she’ll drop you like that no reason” he rolled his eyes sick of his friend constantly going on about how great she was honestly he thought the same one time and well he learned his lesson . 

“ people change or maybe you done something “ jake mused although he may of know more than he let on giving how close he and y/n got over the two years since she came to san diego. 

“ day that happens i’ll sell my bronco “ bradley scoffed. “ going to the mens room if my date comes tell her i’ll be out in a minute” . 

She stood watching the news sinking in from excitement to straight on nerves .  hoping he would show even a hint of happiness for her . 

“ it’s great news but we .. i just got you back” he smiled uneasy . 

“ it’s only a short flight and i’ll be home for holidays come on dad this is once in a lifetime opportunity i’m literally the youngest and female to be accepted on to this programme “ she almost pleaded with him . 

“ how long is it” 

“ two years with a chance to stay on in new york or head back to my residency here which i will because it will earn my spot on more paid job and more opportunities  it’s only two years and i can visit” she repeated . 

“ well i still got you for six months so i better make most of it i am proud of you but your my baby girl too … penny round on me to celebrate my daughters great work” he smiled sadly although he meant it when he said he was proud . 

“ i’ll have this one with you next one with the guys “ she smiled . 

“ sorry i was suppose to meet someone here and i don’t think i can see him “ a woman called making them turn . 

“ who you looking for honey “ penny beamed 

“ bradley bradshaw oh god i have the wrong place don’t i “ she chuckled . 

“  the wrong man i’d run if i was you” another woman scoffed. 

“ you sure he was charming when i met him “ the girls eyes widened . 

“ really rooster is great guy , don’t listen cheryl she as bitter as those gins “ y/n smiled . 

“ yeah great guy when he and hangman used me as pawn in their who can sleep with most women game , i think i was number 8 made me think i was special never felt the spark like it “ 

“ she’s drunk really rooster is great , he’s sweet and listens to good music “  y/n defended more although she didn’t know why he was an ass to her all time even though he was one that hurt her all those years.

“ sure look he already over there high fiving his friend “ cheryl smirked as the other girl eyes narrowed before y/n  could say anything the woman was barrelling over like a storm . 

Now as bradley looked up ready to greet his date what he didn’t expect was the slap across his face or the anger of a bull on her. 

“ you bastard i thought .. shit i thought one decent guy out there til that woman set me straight “ she pointed over at cheryl although bradley misread it  now he was pissed. 

“ whatever she said was crock of shit  trust me” he defended. 

“ so you and some guy called hangman didn’t have a sleezy contest i will not be a part of delete my number asshole “ was all she said before storming out the bar completely . 

“ she has got some nerve” was all bradley said before he storming towards the bar only he wasn’t going for the right person . 

“ what the hell is your problem  what me being happy isn’t good enough you have to ruin it “ he pulled y/n around as she almost looked shocked. 

“ i didn’t … i didn’t do anything” she stuttered out completely confused. 

 “ yeah you told her about stupid game me and hangman had … do you really like ruining things for me i mean life was great til you showed up here making everyone think your some little sweetheart when in actuality  your’re a cold hearted bitch” he scoffed. 

“ and you said he was a great guy” cheryl laughed . 

“ i guess i was wrong, drop dead rooster “ y/n walked off ignoring everyone’s calls . 

“ shit that girl defended you after i told your date what your really like jesus thanks for proving me right”cheryl saunter off playing her bill and leaving . 

“ wait wait what “ he froze . 

“ rooster what the hell .. you two used to love each other now god your at each others throat but never like that ...   i thought you were better than that .. godson or not you talk to her like that again we’re gonna have problems “ mav warned as he headed out the door .  leaving bradley looking like biggest dickhead in the hard deck head low and tail between his legs he headed back to the table the guys were bar nat and jake who probably fixing his fuck up . 

“ wow harsh man” payback whistled lowly . 

“ yeah not my finest moment “ he grumbled . 

That  sentence was like a mantra on his tongue hell he didn’t want to admit it the dry spell he was having which after his outburst completely extended it first couple of week no girl would even look his way hitting another bust as he headed back to the rest of his squad as y/n sat with jake as far as she could barely even looking his way til she ended up smiling at her phone and bidding the rest a farewell , he didn’t want to admit it but the complete freeze out was worse than before the fact she didn’t even give him a second thought was driving him crazy maybe  the dry spell was affecting him more than he thought . 

“ guess it was a bust” fanboy smirked. 

“ losing your status rooster”  javy laughed , 

“ maybe it for the best between him and hangman  they going to sleep through san diego or that was case” bob chuckled . 

“ now what i would love to see is either of them try a relationship they would fold the second things get serious” payback  pointed out . 

“ ok first ouch bob i’m nothing like bagman  and second i could do serious relationship with any girl “ he stood hand on hips . 

“ not any girl “ bob mused . 

“ baby on board is right not any girl “ jake leaned against the pool table maybe it was a risk and shit if it ended badly well he would hate it but he could see it , he could see it the moment she walked into the hard deck two years ago . 

“ i’d bet my bronco on it “ bradley stood falling into the trap hook line and sinker . 

“ you sure you wanna bet on something you’ll lose chicken ?”  he goaded willing him to take the bait . 

“ fuck it your on bagman name her , point her out” he stood toe to toe with the man . 

“ easy y/n “ that damn smile , the cocky one rooster loved to wipe of his face and yet this one was gonna be tough shit did he have it in him. “ you really are a chicken on it “ he had him hook , line  

“ your on “  sinker .

Untouchable pt.1

Summary : One evening at the hard deck your attention is strangely on a quiet pilot who blushes way too much, your friend made fun of you but the evening ends in his bed. Maybe it was not the better option to sleep with a military brat, and even less when it’s the daughter of your superior.

pt.2 here :)

»» ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ««

You were untouchable.

Already by your personality, you had what could be called a bad temper. You didn’t really let yourself slacken off and even less in front of the men of the Navy whom you knew too well. You were endowed with an astonishing intelligence, you understood things very quickly and quite surprising but some were afraid of this intelligence. You weren't scary at all but the fact that you knew how to think for yourself had the gift of scaring some pilots. You were independent, you didn't need anyone and again, even less a man with an oversized ego like some of them. On top of that you were extremely beautiful, not pretty but very beautiful. Some could qualify you as a femme fatale even if you did not like this term, you defined it as an idea established by the desire of man in women.

You knew very well that you had an advantageous physical and it would be a lie to say that you never took advantage of it to obtain something, of course you never played with a man's feelings. Even if you could sometimes be frank you were far from hurtful. The only thing that could hurt others about you was your beauty but not your personality. Deep down inside, you slightly liked being untouchable, you liked telling yourself that you were in control of the situation. That was a rare thing for a woman in the Navy, but you were one hell of an exception. In addition to being more than special in the eyes of all unfortunately you were even more untouchable than anyone could have thought.

Even if a man had a slim chance with you, there was a whole other problem. You were a military brat but not just any. It turns out that you were the only child of the famous Captain Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell. So even if you looked at a pilot once your head was turned, you could be sure that your father was going to take pleasure in staring intensely at the boy you had just made hope for. It was on one hand reassuring to tell you that your father was vigilant with you and the possible predators, even if in reality the real predator was you. But on the other hand it was more than annoying that he protected you as if you were in porcelain and that you were going to break at any moment. You were stronger than that and you didn't need your father to defend you, far from it.

It is true that you did not have a very stable life due to your father's job, but that never bothered you, it is precisely thanks to his environment that you are as you are today. Being his only child he was always more protective than other parents, he didn't want anything to happen to you. At the time you didn't realize it since you were too young but if your father was so protective it was mainly because you were the last family he had left. After Goose's death it is true that he was not like before but when Carole left in turn, it was too much. He no longer had anyone to rely on, he had completely let himself go and after a one night stand you arrived. You never knew your mother and she never wanted to know you, giving all the responsibility to Pete who was far from ready to be a father.

But the rest is history.

You were back in Miramar and the first thing you thought of was going to the Hard Deck, just to pop in and say hello to Penny, nothing more. You pushed the wooden door in front of you and made your way into the bar, you walked with a determined and confident step towards the bar, trying to make your way through the crowd so that you could then sit on one of the wooden stools in front of you. It was still quite early but the bar was already full to bursting, the crowd was almost suffocating but it wasn't too disturbing yet, you looked straight ahead and observed a few pilots around the pool table. Some faces were familiar which made you smiled gently while thinking about what you were going to take, always observing the bar clientele to see if there were other people you knew by any chances.

You waited a few seconds then Penny turned in your direction with a big smile, she quickly advanced towards you while she was at the other end of the bar. “Sweetie ! What are you doing here ?" She asked surprised at your rather unexpected arrival.

“Penny I can’t breathe.” You tell her out of breath, she moves away from you, laughing slightly but still leaning on the bar to be able to stay close to you, “I wanted to pass by.” You just answered her.

She leaned towards you again and took your face in her hands before placing a kiss on your cheek, she pulls away again before speaking. “Excuse me, I'm just so happy to see you, it's been so long since I've seen you ! It’s been what ? Three years ?” She asked, all excited about your arrival.

“Two years penny, only two. But I missed you too.

“Two years ! Oh my god it's been so long. Tell me what can I serve you ?”

“Uhm one Mai Tai please.”

She nodded before starting to prepare your cocktail, you carefully observed her mixing the ingredients when she poured the mixture into a wide glass which she placed on the bar before adding a slice of lemon and a mint leaf, she pushed the glass in front of you and smiled at you again. You thanked her but when you took out your wallet to take money to pay her, she stopped me dead in your action by putting her hand on your wrist. You raised your head and she nodded hers negatively to make you understand to put away what you had in your hands, “It's not necessary Y/N, gift from the house.” She said, adding a wink before sweeping behind the bar.

“But penny-”

“No but young woman !” She interrupted you, pointing her finger in front of you to make you understand that you shouldn't try to retort again.

You sighed softly in defeat and then put the Wallet in your jacket pocket, which was actually your father's and took a sip of your drink, the fresh lemon juice slid down your throat but was quickly caught by the burning rum. “You’re alone ?” Asked the woman in front of you.

You put down your glass and nodded, “Dad's tired, he's staying home tonight.”

She raised her eyebrows and her cheeks turned slightly rosy at the response, “Oh no, I didn't mean it like that-”

You didn't give her time to finish her sentence when you smiled at her frustrated look and gave her a wink in turn before getting up to approach the jukebox which was not far from the pool table, so not far from the pilots. Once in front of the retro machine, you put your glass on the next table to be able to take a coin out of your pocket which must have been there for a long time, you kept the coin in your hand long enough to carefully read the proposed titles and choose properly. But when you were hesitating between two titles from the 80s, you felt a presence behind you but you didn't really pay attention to it. “Has anyone ever told you that it was dangerous to leave your drink unattended ?”

You jumped not expecting anyone to speak to you even less this close to your ear, you quickly turned around and came face to face with Lt. Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw. You opened your mouth amazed to see him there and didn't think another minute before taking him in your arms, you put your arms behind his neck and felt his wrap around your waist to respond to your embrace. You moved away and stared at him for a moment, he hadn't changed since the last time you saw each other. He wore a Hawaiian shirt similar to the ones his father wore before him and still had his famous pair of Ray-bans on his nose, and of course he still had his 70s mustache.

You and Rooster have known each other for years, you grew up together until your father took his papers away. At that time he had pulled away from you thinking that you knew about your father's actions when you were the last to know about the situation but all that is in the past, now all of that is behind you. Despite the recent events between him and your father, you found each other and rediscovered the bond you had when you were younger, Bradley is a few years older than you and he fulfills his role as big brother to perfection. Even if you don't have the same blood it's just like, he has always been like a brother to you and even when he stops talking to you you forgave him directly.

“Oh my God ! You scared me.” You exclaimed.

“What are you doing here ?” He asked you as surprised at my arrival as Penny.

“A craving for Mai Tai.” You say, taking your glass back from the table before taking a big sip.

“You’re pregnant ?” He asked randomly.

You almost spit out all the liquid you had in your mouth after what he just asked you, “What ? No ! Are you crazy ?”

He shrugged and laughed slightly before offering you to join him and his pilot friends, you turned your head to your right to observe the pilots you had seen before. You looked back at Rooster giving him a nod before answering him concretely with a smirk, “How could I refuse ?”

He smiled and started walking towards the pool table where his friends and colleagues were, you followed him closely not for fear of losing him but only so you could easily pass through the crowd. Unlike Rooster you weren't tall and imposing, you were of average height and far from imposing in your physique, it was only your personality that intimidated people.

“Rooster ! I thought you got lost on the way grandpa.” Exclaimed a tall blond pilot with a smirk on his face.

You stared at him for a moment but no names came to mind as you looked at him, nor did you remember Bradley telling you about a blond boy. Even if the man was unknown to you, for the moment, he was one of the first pilots you saw when you entered the bar. He looked confident, even slightly haughty, but he still seemed likeable.

“Bagman.” Bradley gave him a nod, calling him what you thought was his callsign. “What a pleasure to see you.”

The would-be 'Bagman' smiles before glancing at you, “And who is that pretty thing you brought me here ?”

Asshole.

Your smile faded away in a second. Now he seemed anything but friendly, but what he didn't realize was that you were far from easy prey. You didn't even have time to retort that Bradley put his arm around your shoulders before pulling you against him, you frowned and looked up to look at the brunet who resumed speaking as if nothing had happened.

“Not this one Hangman.” He said calling him a new callsign, you assumed the previous one was just a joke.

The blond understood from your lost look that you weren't the pilot's girlfriend next to you, “And why’s that ?” He asked slowly but surely leaning towards you.

And as you were about to answer him, someone cut you off again. “Too dangerous.” Said a female voice that you recognized directly. “The kind of girl where you avoid her dad more than anything if you ask me.”

You freed yourself from Rooster's grip, walked past Hangman, not forgetting to give him a shoulder to end up taking Phoenix in your arms. You pulled away from her and looked the blond straight in the eyes with a playful look, he smiled before asking you a question. “Your dad doesn't like the navy ?”

“Worse. He’s in the navy.” You said with a smirk as the pilot's quickly faded.

“Oh." He said simply as Bradley gently patted his shoulder in comfort.

“I told you ! Now come with me to get you a beer.” The brunet said to him, shaking him slightly so that he regained his senses.

»» ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ««

The evening had gone extremely well, to be honest you had stayed more often with Phoenix than with the others but it was good to see her again after so much time. And then being the only two girls in the evening could sometimes be heavy, unfortunately Halo couldn't come because she had a date that night. But despite everything, you had a great time. Also Hangman had come to see you to apologize for the abrupt advances he had made to you, you could see he was afraid of having problems. You forgave him and with that the atmosphere was no longer heavy and awkward between you two, you even offered him a game of pool which he accepted with a big smile of winner but what he did not know was that you were unbeatable.

Several times during the game your eyes landed on a pilot that you had not been introduced to. He was sitting in a corner with peanuts, he had blonde hair but not like Hangman's, it was darker. He wore glasses that slipped on his nose far too often, his eyes seems like a perfect baby blue but you weren't sure because of the distance between you. You stayed focused on your game but many times you couldn't help but look in his direction, he was often alone during the evening but yet was part of the group. You had spotted Rooster talking to him a few times but the one he stayed with the most was Fanboy if you remember correctly. He spoke softly but mostly listened or observed what was going on around him.

At one point your eyes met and you gave him a mischievous smile that he returned more shyly with a smaller smile. Despite his shyness he was handsome, you wanted to know more about him. You had noticed that he did not drink beer but only water or maybe it was vodka but given the pace at which he drank this was far from possible or he tolerated alcohol extremely well which. In your mind you stayed on water and you couldn’t help it and found that adorable. He seemed so kind and caring, you wanted to go talk to him.

“Who is this ?” You asked Phoenix cutting her off in her explanation.

It must have been twenty minutes since you won your game against Hangman and you were now sitting at a table with the female pilot. You couldn't help but ask her who was the mysterious pilot who intrigued you for a while now.

“Who is who ?” She asked with a smile, leaning towards you to avoid everyone hearing.

“The one with the glasses.” You say, pointing your head towards where the blond was, he was still with Fanboy in a corner.

The woman in front of you moved away and turned in the direction you had just pointed to her even though deep down she suspected who you were talking about, there was only one person here who could wear glasses. When her eyes landed on Bob, she couldn't help but giggle softly. She looked at you before speaking. “Lieutenant Robert “Bob” Floyd, my back seater.”

“He’s cute." You confessed, crossing your arms before sinking a little further into your chair.

You were still watching Robert when your friend's laughter cut you off from your thoughts, “What ?” You asked already bored without even knowing why she was laughing.

“I can't believe it, I never would have imagined this possible. You and Bob ?” She said before leaving in an endless giggle.

You sigh annoyed and as she continued to laugh alone, Bradley came closer to you with a beer in his hands. “What’s happening ?” He asked putting his sunglasses in his Hawaiian shirt pocket.

“Y/N- she- Oh my god-” Phoenix tries to start a sentence but without success, she continues to laugh like crazy with both hands on her stomach as she was laughing so hard.

Bradley smiled at her friend's delight before turning back to you with a confused look, “I just told her I thought… Bob was cute.” You hesitantly say the name of the pilot.

No sooner had you finished your sentence than Natasha laughed even harder, “Nat.” Bradley tried to calm her down. “Nat-”

You weren't even waiting for her to calm down to get up and head to the bar without waiting another minute, you didn't understand why your friend had reacted this way. How the idea that you like the dark blond could make him laugh so much. You leaned on the wood of the bar patiently waiting for Penny to come take your order when you felt a presence to your left, you turned your head slightly to avoid the person seeing you staring. And when you thought you'd come face to face with a civilian, to your surprise the person next to you was the mysterious pilot. Suddenly, for the first time, you felt troubled when absolutely nothing had happened. Usually you didn't like to feel intimidated by others and even less by men, but this time you did, you strangely appreciated the fact of not being in your normal state. You didn't ask yourself any more questions and put this new feeling back on the beers you had drunk tonight. Without really thinking you turned completely to face the male next to you, you lean on the bar and wait for him to turn to face you too but he seems too embarrassed. You could see that his cheeks were slightly pink, which gave you a little more confidence to keep going.

“Bob right ?” You asked in a soft and gripping voice, which created a feeling of well being in the boy in front of you before anything happened.

He turned slowly, uncertain and slightly lost. He looked at you for a moment before putting his glasses back on correctly with the help of his middle finger and then nodding, “Y-yes that's me.” He replied in an almost imperceptible voice.

You smile at his shyness before simply continuing, hoping he would open up to you a little more, “Y/N.”

“I know- Well I mean I heard you with the others earlier." He said, recovering quickly at the end as if he had said something he shouldn't have.

This time if your smile turned into a laugh and Bob swore he had never heard such a sweet melody, once again his cheeks turned red but this time if a feeling of warmth added to his condition, and not only at his cheeks.

“I understood, don't worry.” You reassured him by once again giving him a smile with such sweetness that could have killed him.

But when you were going to continue the conversation Penny cut you off in the middle of your exchange to take his order, he ordered a coke zero and surprisingly turned to you again. “And whatever you want.” He said before taking his wallet out of his uniform pocket to pull out some money.

“Oh no-”

“I insist.” He cut you off with a blow much more confident than before.

You shook your head and gave your order to Penny who rushed to prepare them, despite the fact that it was getting late there were still a lot of people at the Hard Deck. Once your two drinks served you did not stay longer at the bar which began to be overflowing with people wanting to order them too. The table you previously occupied with Phoenix was free again, you indicated to the pilot behind you who nodded and followed you. You settled in quickly to avoid other people taking the table, the pilot in front of you took a sip in his glass before placing it on the table between you two. He looked up and was surprised to see you were already looking at him, his cheeks turning red before he looked away and focused on something else.

Cute.

While he was looking away you smiled and took a sip of your beer before playing with the tag, “So,” you began.

You barely had time to say anything else than the blond turned his head quickly towards you. As you were going to resume you let yourself getting lost in his eyes. They were beautiful. So delicate and sparkling. You were right, his eyes were indeed blue, as deep as the ocean.

“You have very pretty eyes.” You said casually as you turned your head to the side.

Once again Robert couldn't help but blush, he lowered his head slightly, shaking it before looking you straight in the eye, "Thank you." He simply added.

“Why did you pay me a drink ?” You asked quickly after his answer, you couldn't help but smile at his frustrated look.

“Oh uhm… I-well I figured that was the least I could do, since-that I didn't take your-your order when it was my uhm my round.” He said stuttering.

You brought your bottle to your lips without drinking from it, you looked at him attentively as you narrowed your eyes. You observed that the more he spoke, the redder he became. To be honest you thought it was extremely sexy while Robert couldn't stand the burning feeling in his chest anymore.

“No. Why did you really buy me a drink Robert-”

"Bob. Please call me Bob.” He corrected, although he honestly didn't mind hearing you call him by his full name.

"Isn't that your call sign ?"

“Is it but also my name, Robert is too formal.” He said with a sweet smile.

You nodded and continued, “Don't change the subject Bob. Why did you buy me a beer ?”

Bob sighed softly knowing full well that he was defeated and that he had to answer you once and for all, "It's just that I-I thought you were pretty and you-you looked nice so I thought that uhm that-” He began, searching for words to avoid scaring you away.

“That I would go home with you ?”

"What ? Nah, nah I had I would not have thought that. I uhm I just wanted to talk- yeah just a little talk.” He continued as if he had just thought about the real reason he had just offered you a drink.

The pilot looked at you attentively, waiting for your answer to know if the evening was going to stop soon for him or if on the contrary it had only just begun.

"Maybe I want to go home with you." You say softly, leaning slightly towards him so that no one could hear.

Bob widened his eyes surprised at what you had just said and opened his mouth slightly but closed it quickly thinking of what to say, you wasted no more time and got up from your chair. Before you start walking, you turn to the man behind you and give him a smirk and a wink before making your way through the crowd to go dancing, which sends shivers down his spine. Bob swallowed hard, as you disappeared further and further into the crowd of customers, the pilot couldn't help but stare at how your pants made your ass look nice. He looked up directly feeling guilty even though deep down he knew you didn't mind, or so he thought. The idea of ​​joining you crossed his mind but he was far too shy to dance in the middle of all these people. His eyes then fell on the beer he had bought you, he didn't wait another second and drank at once the liquid from the bottle.

Bob was not someone who drank alcohol and he regretted changing things once the burning sensation was no longer in his chest but in his throat, he put the bottle back on the table and got up a little too quickly which caused him to almost fall to the ground. He caught himself at the table and put his glasses back on correctly before heading to the center of the bar where most of the people were dancing. The blond made his way through the crowd and looked for you even if his vision played him a few times, he found you in the middle of the crowd dancing as if no one was around you. Bob watched you intently and froze in place, watching every move you made so intently. The first thing he noticed was the fact that you had taken off your jacket, you were now in a simple white t-shirt but before he could stop himself to look, you opened your eyes that you had kept closed and your gaze fell directly on the pilot who was no longer moving, you smiled and approached him keeping the rhythm of the song playing. You took his hands in yours and reproached him next to you, as you kept up the pace Bob looked like he was having a hard time finding him. You let go of his hands much to his sadness but you quickly put them on his shoulders and leaned closer to him.

“Let yourself go !” You say practically shouting because of the noise.

"I-I don't know how to do that." He confessed, making big gestures with his hands.

"Yes you know ! Don’t pay attention to others, just look at me and listen to the music. And then, it's done !” You explained before taking one of his hands in yours and pulling him towards the center with you.

The song ended softly and gave way to “Murder on the dancefloor”, as the first notes rang out in the bar you looked Bob straight in the eyes and smiled comfortingly at him before starting to move to the beat of the music. Astonishment Bob listened to your advice and let himself be carried away by the melody and closed his eyes shaking his head with the rest of his body, during all the music you never let go of his hand without really realizing it. It was as if this gesture was natural when you didn't even know each other a few hours ago.

You were so in your perfect little bubble that neither of you realized that all the pilots around the pool table were watching you intently, “Since when Bob can dance ?” Asked Coyote amused by what he was watching.

“No the real question is since when Bob interested girls ?” Asked Hangman with his eyebrows frowned.

Phoenix slapped him on the shoulder making him understand to shut up before rooster reacted, “Wasn’t it you a moment ago who made fun of her ?”

“I wasn’t making fun of her !”

“Yes you were-”

“No I wasn’t.” Interrupted Natasha. “I’m just too drunk and thought the idea that Y/N kinda liked Bob was crazy, but come one look at them ! He’s a little rabbit and her a real tiger but they’re really cute- plus Bob’s really nice and Y/N too-”

“Yeah you’re right you had enough drinks tonight.” Said Payback as he took the female by the shoulders to guided her outside, all the pilots followed and decides to call it a night.

When the music came to an end Bob opened his eyes again all smiles and paying no attention to anyone except the girl in front of him, he was only looking at you and couldn't look away. As you were about to speak, he crushed his lips on yours and placed one of his hands on your hip as he placed the other one on your cheek pulling you towards him. You were surprised at his gesture at first, surprised that he had enough courage when he seemed shy but you didn't think more and put your arms around his neck to stick you even more to him. Your lips moved in time with the music which made you smile through the kiss. His lips were soft just like him, your whole body was electrified by his touch and you could start to feel a warm sensation in your lower abdomen that you recognized all too well. Your hands moved in his curls but then you pulled out breathlessly to get some air, you moved slightly apart just enough to breathe but at no time did either of you remove your hands.

You breathed heavily but no one could hear it except him with the noise that was around, you raised your head to look at Bob and you observed that his cheeks but also the tip of his nose were red from to friction of your skins, which made you think again of the feeling of heat in the lower part of your body. You took the collar of his uniform and pulled him towards you to give him a simple kiss on his lips before whispering a sentence in his ear that Bob never thought he will heard one day.

“Please take me to yours and take off this horrible uniform.”

He swallowed hard and nodded quickly, you took your jacket that was on a chair and put it on before taking the blonde's hand back in yours, on the way to the door your eyes met Penny's who was smiling and shaking her head seeing you both. The pilot opens the door and the cool night air hits you suddenly which he notices, he steps closer to you and puts his arm around your shoulders to try to warm you up as much as possible.

“My car is right there.” He said pointing to his car.

Once in front of his car he opened the passenger door and you sat down thanking him, he walked around and quickly settled in his way before turning on the ignition and leaving the Hard Deck parking lot.

»» ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ««

The trip to his apartment seemed like an eternity to you both even though he assured you that he only lived a few minutes from the bar since he was close to the base, during the travel he had set his hand on your thigh which only increased the feeling of warmth and the burning desire. Now you were both in front of the door of his house, while Bob was looking for the right key, you were clinging to his arm leaving him many kisses in the neck which destabilized him enormously but once he found the right key he turned to you and kissed you passionately turning the key in the lock. Once the door opened, he took you by the arm and pulled you with him inside without ever separating your lips from his. He then pushed you against the still open door what closed it and the noise of the slammed made you jump, you were now stuck between the wood and the pilot's body.

“Sorry.” Bob muttered between kisses realizing he might have pushed you a little too hard.

You didn't answer him but deepened the kiss to make him understand that the only thing you were waiting for was him to show you where the bedroom was, his hands went behind you and he pressed your body against his. You took the opportunity to put your arms around his neck again before he started walking with you in the middle of the corridor, he dragged you with him into one of the first rooms of the hallway and closed the door this time with his foot. He continued to walk towards the bed and tried to put you gently on it, even if his gestures remained abrupt, you sank a little more into the mattress since Bob remained glued to you. So you pulled away from him and caught your breath, "Please." You asked him.

“What do you want ?” He asked in a whisper.

“You.”

With that he kissed you again before pulling away completely from you, you leaned back on your two elbows and watched him take off his shoes and then his uniform, you moved further into the bed without forgetting to take off your shoes and starting to take off the rest of your clothes. Once both in your underwear, the man sat with you on the bed and your make out session resumed just as soon. This time it wasn't just a feeling you were really hot and the burning desire in your stomach only grow more and more, it's as if the sun had entered the room. Your two bodies were so close to each other, it was as if you were one. You could almost feel every muscle every time he made a move, the only thing you opened up to was whimpering from the feel of his warm skin against yours. You put your right hand between your two hot bodies and caressed his abs which made him moan in turn, you were for the moment in control of the situation which you felt could escape at any moment. Bob reached his hands in front of your breast before planning a bit with the lace of your white bra, then he placed one of his cold hands behind your back and grabbed your bra clip to untie it, he quickly removed it and tossed it carelessly over his shoulder. He kissed your cheek before going down your neck and took his time to go through the entirety of your skin before going down even more, enough to get to your chest. As he was about to reach your breasts he stopped.

He looked up at you, “Can I ?”

You nodded quickly biting your bottom lip not really expecting that question but you thought that it was incredibly hot.

“‘kay.” He said simply in a whisper before finally taking off his glasses and reaching out to put them on the nightstand next to the bed.

He moved back in front of your chest and placed a simple and delicate kiss on the tip of your right breast which made you moan softly, a sweet melody that Bob wanted to hear again. So that's what he did, he kissed your breast harder and sucked your nipple while kneading the other with the help of his hand. You couldn't hold back, your whimpers were turned into moans much to the blond's delight. One of your hands worked its way through his hair before you dropped your head back, it felt so good.

He released your left breast from his hand and began to kiss it in turn, this time biting lightly on the tip of your nipple which made you moan again. The feeling was so good you couldn’t control your body and moans now, every sound coming from your mouth was controlled by the pilot. At the same time his hand, which was no longer occupied, slid along your skin and found the elastic of your panties. You felt two of his fingers go under the piece of fabric, unlike you his fingers were still icy against your hip as you were burning, the sensation of his hand so close to your core sending shivers down your spine.

He raises his head and you missed the feel of his lips on your chest already but he quickly replaced it with his lips on yours, Bob bit lightly on your bottom lip letting you know he wanted more. So you opened your mouth slowly and he took the opportunity to put his tongue through it, while you were trying to dominate during the kiss to take control of the situation again, you ended up admitting defeat and letting the male take control while the butterflies in your stomach were going to explode. As you felt your crotch getting wetter and wetter, you felt Bob's second hand reach the other side of your panties and pull it gently as if nothing had happened. Quickly you find yourself completely naked in front of him while he was still wearing his underwear then you felt something different deep inside you. Bob was laying kisses down your body starting with your cheek and then your neck but you were too deep in your thoughts at the time to really pay attention. You weren't used to being in a submissive position and yet Bob looked so shy at the bar but now he was confidant, so confidant. You felt small next to him, something you had never felt with anyone. Surprisingly you didn't mind, you were more surprised at your body's reaction to the blonde's actions. You snapped out of your thoughts when you felt heavy breathing on your pussy, you lifted your head from the pillows and looked at the pilot. You had been so preoccupied with your thoughts that you hadn't even felt him come down there.

“Can I ?” He asked once again with his big blue eyes on you waiting impatiently for you to answer him.

“Please stop asking me.” You answer with a needy and febrile voice.

He nodded and parted your legs slightly so he could put his head between them, he took your thighs in his hands and pulled you closer to him which made you laugh softly. He placed them on his shoulders and then placed a simple kiss on your clit which sent electricity through your whole body, you bit your lower lip not wanting to make too much noise but it was a failure when Bob started licking your pussy like a thirsty cat. You let the moans of pleasure that you couldn't contain any longer roll down your tongue. Once again your hands found their way into his curls as he continued to lick faster and harder, you buried the back of your head in the pillows. You had the impression that he had done this all his life, his nose was pressing down on your clitoris as he continued to lick up all of your juices.

“B-Bobby !” You moaned.

The blond let go of one of your thighs that was shaking without his grip and put his hand on your stomach so that his thumb could reach your clitoris and work on it. He pulled away from your crotch and moved his hand to where his head had been a moment ago, he let go of your clit and placed two of his fingers at your entrance. He got up and moved over to stand right next to you so he could see your face and kiss you, which he did before pushing his fingers inside you. Surprised you opened your mouth and grabbed his bicep which was right next to you, you looked him in the eye all the way and you could see an indelible smirk on his face.

“You’re so tight-” He whispered as he started moving inside of you.

“I- please.” You tried to form a sentence but it was impossible, what he was doing to you gave you too much pleasure to be able to say anything.

“Shh darling, let yourself go remember ?” He said as he repeat your own words from earlier at the Hard Deck.

Due to your inability to say anything, Bob took the opportunity to speed up the movements. His fingers were the perfect size, they went deep enough to find the spot that was going to make you cum. So deep in you that you were seeing stars right now, the sensation of burning in your stomach was definitely still there. He was able to hit the exact spot you wanted like as if he known your body by heart, your grip around his arm tightened and your legs were shaking so much you felt like you were going to explode at any moment. And while you felt it coming more and more Bob added his thumb again on your clit and play with it which made you cum hard on his fingers.

“Bobby !” You cried out in pleasure as your back arched.

The pilot leaned towards you pulling his fingers away and kissed you gently while you were still in a trance after what had just happened. He picked up a tissue that was on his nightstand right next to his glasses and quickly cleaned his fingers before giving you his full attention again. He leaned down and continued to kiss you, placing himself right on top of you, you put your arms around his neck to keep him as close to you as possible.

Out of breath you parted but he pressed his forehead to yours, “So…”

“It was intense.”

“Intense ?” He asked.

“Intense.”You confirm by closing your eyes a quick second before opening them again. “D-Do you want to continue or-”

“Like you want. I don't want to rush you.” He said honestly.

You kissed his lips before continuing, “Bobby I loved this moment but I think I'm too tired to continue anything.”You say shyly, afraid that he will react badly.

“No problem.” He said softly kissing your cheek before dropping on top of you making sure not to hurt you. He placed his head on the side of your neck and left a few kisses there, “Thank you for this moment.” He spoke again after a moment of silence.

“I should be the person to thank you, I didn't do anything.” You say, laughing softly before getting serious again. “Do you mind if I just take my panties back ?”

He rolled directly onto the mattress apologizing quickly, you assured him it was nothing and stood up to pick up your panties and your t-shirt. You put on the pieces of clothes and asked him where his bathroom was, he showed you the direction and you left the room. Once in the bathroom you quickly cleaned yourself with toilet paper then put it in the trash and fixed your hair by tying it in a bun, you looked at yourself in the mirror trying to realized what just happened. It wasn’t in your habits to do one night stand things but the moment was so good and you never thought you were going to say something like that but you felt a connection with the pilot. You didn't know what was going to happen tomorrow and you didn't want to think about it but you were sure it wasn't the last time you were going to hear about Robert Floyd You scratch your right shoulder as you start laughing at your reflection. “Oh my god.” You whispered.

When you returned to his room, Bob was lying on his back but he didn't turn around when you entered. You approached the bed cautiously and slipped in silently realizing that the man was asleep, you smiled at yourself and placed the covers correctly on both of your bodies. You approached him and put your arm around him to stay close before placing your head on his shoulder but as you closed your eyes you fell asleep immediately due to fatigue in the arms of one of the sexiest man you ever met.

*Playing pool at the Hard Deck* Phoenix: *looking at Hangman* That jerk makes me so mad, he’s so smug; I just wanna flip him off!

Bob: *not looking up from his shot* That’s not very Christ-like of you.

Phoenix: I’ll just give him a thumbs down instead.

Bob: Would it be done with the same intention as flipping him off?

Phoenix: Well, yeah of course—

Bob: *sighing* Then you might as well just be flipping him off.

Phoenix: You’re right, Bob.

Bob: Yes, thank you—

Death

Maura said, “That’s your card.”

On the card on the table was a black knight astride a white horse. The knight’s helmet was lifted so that it was obvious that his face was a bare skull dominated by eyeless sockets. The sun set beyond him, and below his horse’s hooves lay a corpse.

Outside the windows behind them, a breeze hissed audibly through the trees.

“Death.” Gansey read the bottom of the card. He didn’t sound surprised or alarmed. He just read the word like he would read eggs or Cincinnati.

“I thought that psychics didn’t predict death,” Adam said quietly. “I read that the Death card was only symbolic.”

As the sun had just risen Bob's alarm echoed in his room, he reached out his arm to stop the noise before letting out a grunt of displeasure wanting to sleep longer. He rubbed his eyes gently before straightening up without any problems, he turned his head and noticed that you weren't there anymore which made him frown. He grabbed his glasses that were still on the bedside table and quickly put them on as he got up from his bed and rushed out of the room trying not to stumble despite the darkness. He took the time to put on some boxer shorts and headed straight for the kitchen hoping to see you even if deep down he suspected where you were now, rather this morning he felt the mattress move but thought you were going just in the bathroom, Bob was so tired he didn't notice you left and never came back.

He pouted when he realized that his thought was correct and that you had already left, he looked for a moment for a post-it or anything else that you could have left him but there was absolutely nothing. So he went to the bathroom to get ready and take a shower without waiting any longer not wanting to risk being late, when he came back to his room he opened the curtains and his gaze fell on your bra watch still on the ground. He picked it up by taking it by the ramp and put it on his bed telling himself that he would put it away later, he dressed quickly and left his house to reach his car and go directly to the base. As the jazz radio blared in his car the only thing he could focus on was not the road but you.

»» ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ««

Bob had indeed arrived late for work but only a few minutes and no one had noticed his absence, it was the first time that being quiet could be useful he thought. But when Maverick finished his speech Natasha walked quickly towards him.

“Where were you this morning ?” Phoenix asked approaching the blond before leaving the room to go on the tarmac.

Maybe someone noticed after all.

“Oh uhm… I was just l-late.” Said the pilot unsure of himself.

The young woman narrowed her eyes and tried once again to ask him why he was late, but when he answered her again the same thing she did not try to push further, telling herself that he would tell her about it later and that it was not the time. She knew very well that the pilot never arrived late, he would even arrived early most of the time. Deep down she suspected that there was something else and that he wasn't just overslept. She looked at him as he walked away from her in direction of their plane.

“So ?” Asked a voice behind her.

She looked one last time at Bob then turned her head to look at rooster behind her, “He said nothing.”

The man with the moustache sighed and placed himself next to the dark haired woman, their eyes both resting on the young pilot chatting with the others, “That doesn’t smell good.”

“I know.” Sighed the woman at the statement of her friend, “We should have done something when it was still possible, now it’s-”

“-chaotic.” Bradley cut off Natasha knowing exactly where she was going.

»» ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ««

The morning had been hell for Phoenix and Bob. They had failed all the exercises and because of the WSO, Natasha got out of the f18 quickly and waited for the blond to get out so she could discuss with him.

“What happened ?” She asked slightly angrily.

Bob came down the last rung and put his feet on the floor taking off his helmet, “I don't know-”

“You do not know ? First this morning you arrive late and now you don't even know how to tell me what to do ?”

“I don't know Phoenix, I'm sorry I don't know what got into me-”

“No you know very well you just don't want to tell me and there's no problem Bob, you don't want to talk well don't tell me anything but then try to do thing correctly.” Say the pilot by cutting him off again before moving away from him to join Rooster who was a little further and who was waiting patiently.

Bob lowered his head and sighed, he had been mediocre. Phoenix was right, because of him they failed Maverick's exercises when it was supposed to be child's play. He was disappointed with him but the worst part was that Phoenix was disappointed too. The blond put on his glasses which had slipped on the end of his nose then set off for the locker room to drop off his belongings and take a good shower to come to his senses. He entered the room and realized that no one was there and he was going to be alone to be able to put his thoughts in order. The pilot undressed, entered the showers and turned on the tap to let the hot water run over his body, he faced the wall and placed both hands on it, lowering his head.

The truth was that he couldn't get you out of his mind all morning just like in the car a few hours ago. Bob was not used to doing one night stands, it’s been such a long time since he had been intimate with someone. He doesn't even know why he kissed you yesterday at the bar, a feeling deep inside him burned when he looked at you, there was this constant attraction which he couldn't resist. All evening he had been watching you from the corner where he was sitting, Fanboy had repeated to him several times to take a step towards you, assuring him that you were also glancing at him but he had not listened to him. So when you talked to him at the bar he couldn't resist offering you a drink, the little voice in his head begging him to do so. That same voice also told him to join you on the floor and almost ordered him to kiss you.

In no way did he regret what happened between you yesterday, he loved it. But Bob would have preferred to take more time with you, you were so beautiful and you seemed so nice. Your voice was so soft, the blond was sad to think he might never hear it again. He would have preferred to just have a drink with you and then invite you to a date, but the idea that maybe you wouldn't have accepted scared him too much so he preferred to ruin everything by taking you to his house. What he liked the most was when you called him Bobby, no one had ever called him that and you did it spontaneously without thinking. Your voice was still ringing in his ears even though it had been so long since you left each other. He had nothing to contact you again ; no number, no address, nothing. Maybe unlike him you didn't want to see him anymore and maybe yesterday evening was more than enough for you and that was probably why you didn’t left your number. Maybe you called him Bobby out of the blue but still Bob couldn't stop thinking about you. How would things have gone if you had gone further yesterday ? He even thought at one point that if you hadn't gone further it was because he sucked in bed. He tried to imagine what it would be like to really make love to you even if yesterday he was already quite close. He wondered where he could take you on a date, what books you liked or what style of music you listened to.

Bob was completely lost. He didn't know you and yet you had been haunting his thoughts since you left, he couldn't focus on anything else which was problematic. The worst part is that he knew that even if you wanted something with him it would be almost impossible because you were a military brat, that's also one of the reasons why he didn't dare to speak to you at Hard Deck. Yet he loved the way you made him feel, this dominance you naturally had with him was perfect, even if he was tired of blushing every time you looked at him deep down he loved the effect you could have on him. The blond turned off the water and stopped overthinking, he got dressed quickly then put some gel in his hair before putting his glasses back on and heading towards the cafeteria with his lunch in hand. When he entered the large room he looked around for his friends and found them pretty quickly, the cafeteria was packed like every Tuesday actually. The pilot silently sat down at the table and began to eat his sandwich while his friends continued their discussion, next to him was Rooster and on the other side Phoenix. As he stared at Hangman without really paying attention to what he was saying, the two pilots next to him exchanged a look.

“Are you okay Bob ?” Bradley asked, nudging him.

The pilot lifted his head and nodded quickly as his gaze was soon disturbed by something else or rather someone, he quickly swallowed what was still in his mouth and put his things together as the two pilots were still staring at him. “Sorry, I have to go.” He said quickly as he got up and left the cafeteria almost running.

As Bradley watched Bob walk out of the room, Natasha looked where the pilot was looking a moment ago and her gaze fell into someone who let her know why he had reacted the way he did, she shook her head understanding that it was too late now and there was already a problem.

“What's going on with Baby on Board ?” Hangman asked, leaning back in his chair before crossing his arms.

Natasha nodded to where Bob was looking before he rushed off, so all the pilots looked back and quickly realized what the agitation was about. From where they were you could see Maverick having lunch with his daughter, no one had thought to ask the blond how the rest of the evening had gone for him and the girl.

“Do you think she broke his heart ?” Asked Payback worried about his friend.

“No.” Answered simply Rooster knowing well the girl.

“I think that actually it’s quite the opposite.” Said Phoenix still looking at the girl before glancing at the tall pilote in front of her.

“No way ! Baby on board got laid ?!” Exclaimed Hangman.

“Shut up bagman.” Said Fanboy defending his friend.

The conversation resumed while Natasha still had her gaze on you, she hesitated to come and talk to you but quickly changed her mind. First you were with your dad so it was not really the perfect moment to ask you if you had sex with her back seater and of course Bob was old enough to handle his own love affairs.

»» ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ««

A few days later Bob still had no news from you, he ended up spitting it out to Natasha and explaining to her what had happened after she rushed him to explain what happened since that mysterious night, he of course didn't forget to specify how you haunted his thoughts day and night. Despite this the pilot was too shy to ask her or Bradley about you, he had heard from the brunet that you had organized a movie night with your father and him but rooster had quickly moved on when he realized that the blonde was there. The man with glasses thought that you really didn't want him for what had hurt him, but Phoenix had explained your situation to him, whether it was your way of life or the stupid rule your father had always imposed on you. On one hand it had reassured Bob in one way or another but he still felt this emptiness in him since you had left his side but he had never tell the woman about that.

He had kept your bra as if you were going to ring his doorbell one day to pick it up, he couldn't throw it away and thought it was useless but he didn't have the strength to give it back to Natasha so that she could give it to you again. With this underwear you were somehow always there, many times the pilot realized that it was very strange to keep it on but did not prefer to think more than that. This garment was a way of telling him that he had indeed spent the evening with you, that he had already had the opportunity to taste your sweet lips or just you in general. Nat had insisted that the situation had nothing to do with him and that the problem was indeed with you but that he could not do anything about it.

The last time the pilots went together to the Hard Deck he spent the evening looking at the bar or the front door hoping to see you there with your blouson but you never came which made him realize once again that it was really finished and that there would never be anything between you two again, as if there had already been something. That same night the same music you had been dancing together echoed through the bar, Bob thought back to the moment and smiled stupidly as he felt a sense of joy inside him but once the music was over he was empty again, he had therefore decided to leave and return home quickly to avoid breaking down in front of everyone.

This afternoon he had to go to the beach for a practice which surprised him, earlier in the morning a fight had exploded between Hangman and Rooster which had freed the pilots but Maverick quickly recovered them and indicated that the afternoon training would be done especially at the beach behind the hard deck. He had not specified anything more, the pilot had suspected that it was not necessary to come in complete outfit so he had opted for simple beach shorts with a t-shirt thinking that would do the job very well. Once there at training time, he quickly joined his teammates who were already there, all wondering what was going to happen and no one had yet by Maverick.

“Reflex !” Cried out a raspy voice cutting off the pilots in their exchange.

Everyone turned around and Hangman caught the ball the older man had thrown at him, the pilot with a big smile on his face set down a folding beach chair on the hot sand before walking over to the pilots and explained them what the purpose of this training was. Once the explanations were finished the teams formed quickly and Bob ended up in Bradley's team with Natasha, the exercise was simple ; a game of football. To recognize the different teams Hangman had insisted that his had to take off their t-shirts and Rooster's keep them, the arrangement was to the delight of the blond with the smirk but quickly all the players ended up shirtless except for Bob who had decided to keep it.

After already a game they could see a female figure coming down the steps at the back of the bar and heading towards the field, the one with the glasses thought first of Penny but as the person who was walking in their direction was getting closer to them the more he realized who it really was. When the woman placed a cooler filled with cold drink on the ground next to Mav, Bob swallowed his saliva with difficulty and turned around not wanting to look at her or meet her gaze feeling ashamed when he had done nothing. You bent down to open the lid and show your father what you had brought at Penny's request before you straightened up and your gaze fell directly on the only person with his back to you, you looked at him for a second before looking away completely feeling the shame growing inside you.

In the last few days the only thing you were thinking about was the shy pilot who turned his back on you, you felt bad for having left him without any news but you preferred to act like this. The night you got home with him you felt a very strange feeling that you had never felt before, so you decided to stop things quickly to prevent you from losing control of the situation. Despite the fact that the evening ended earlier than it should have, you still had this unbearable feeling. You were ashamed to have acted as you had done with him, he deserved an explanation but you had reacted with such impulsiveness and without any reflections that it was too late to tell him something. And the last thing you expected today was to see him at the beach with your dad, the thought of him being there didn't even cross your mind because after the way you acted with him the last thing you wanted was to meet him somewhere and even less with your father near.

The morning after your father had heard you come home and came to see you in your room, despite your efforts you had not managed to be discreet enough. As he was leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest you avoided eye contact and acted like you were looking for something, that's the same moment you realized you were out of your bra which made you stop in your movements. You had turned to your father and let yourself break down in front of him, while the tears had ran down your cheeks Pete had hastened to take you in his arms to comfort you. His warm, comforting hand had gently caressed your back before leaving a kiss on your temple.

“Shhh everything is going to be alright, sweetie I'm here don't worry I'm not going anywhere.” He had said as he had tightened his embrace. After a while you had calmed down but your father had never let you go, he had whispered tender words to you to calm you down which worked. “Who should I kill ?” He had asked adding a slight touch of humor even though in reality the only thing he wanted was to hurt the person who had made you like this.

You had pulled away from him and had wiped your wet cheeks, “Nobody. It's nothing don't worry-”

“It's nothing ?” He had asked cutting you off.

“Thank you for comforting me dad but I assure you it's nothing serious-”

“Nothing serious ? Please explain to me Y/N, I can't do as if nothing happened when you come home on this state.” He had said in a soft worried voice.

An uncomfortable silence had settled before you took a deep breath, you had looked your father in the eyes once more and you could read that the only thing he wanted was an explanation from you. So you took a deep breath before you started talking, “Okay but first you have to promise me you won't get upset.”

Pete had nodded quickly to encourage you to continue even though currently you had worried him even more, “Like I told you it's nothing serious but...Tonight- I mean-”

“Hey, sweetie breath.” He had said putting one of his hands on your cheek to comfort you, the only person who had seen you in such a state was your father. You had never gave people the opportunity to see you in such a state like the one you were.

“I was at the Hard Deck,” you began, your father had sighed even if you hadn't said anything yet, he suspected very well what was next. “I met someone and we spent the evening together. But the problem is… I- Well, I don't know how to explain it. I had this unbearable feeling inside me, I had never felt the same with someone. I was so helpless but in control at the same time, everything was getting mixed up and nothing was clear. I panicked and came home when the only thing I wanted to do was stay with him.”

Your father had taken you back in his arms before answering you, “Like a desire ?” He had tried to guess the feeling you were talking about to try to move things forward so he could sort it out.

“Yes that's it ! A burning desire but there was so much more, I was so afraid that I couldn't control anything anymore so I preferred to stop everything.”

“I see.” He had said, stroking your hair as he rested his chin on the top of your head. “Was he a pilot ?” He had asked you while facing you again.

You bit your bottom lip and nodded shyly, “You promised you weren't going to get upset.” You had quickly remembered him. He had sighed again, shook his head and let out a laugh which made you smile softly, you went back to bed but failed on falling asleep. Later your father had sent you a message proposing that you come to the base to have lunch with him.

Back on the beach you cut yourself off from your thoughts as Natasha who was taking a break and refereeing one of the two games saw you from afar and stopped what she was doing to jog towards you, she saw out of the corner of her eye Bob trying to hide even if he didn't really blend into the landscape with his yellow t-shirt.

“Hey, what are you doing here ?” She asked placing her hands on her hips standing in front of you blocking your view.

Your gaze slid from Bob to her, your facial expression light up and you offered her a smile before answering. “Oh dad proposed me to pass by.”

Phoenix nodded but before she had time to add anything the girl in front of her excused herself and walked back to the bar behind quickly, the woman sighed and turned her head towards the pilot still at the same place. He turned around trying to be discreet even if it was completely missed, his gaze fell directly on Natasha alone in the same place where you were a moment ago, he frowned and looked straight ahead not understanding where you were. He watched you attentively when you were already on the steps at the back of the bar, he sighed in turn and lowered his head before joining his teammate who was a few meters from him. The sun was aggressive in the back of Bob's neck as he headed towards the dark haired woman, he could feel his skin heating up. Once in front of her he bent down to take the sunscreen that was in his bag, he had already applied some before but thought it was better to put on some more.

“Don't worry, everything will be fine.” Phoenix began as the pilot applied the cream to his face, he put cream back in the palm of his hand and then put some on his arms. “I´m sure she'll still be at the Hard Deck later, you'll find an excuse to go talk to her !”

The pilot sighed again and watched out of the corner of his eye as Mav got up from his chair to join the other pilots for the next game, once far enough away from them he spoke up and looked straight into the eyes of the woman in front of him hoping that she will finally understand. “I can't. She clearly doesn't want me and neither does her father.”

Phoenix dropped her head back letting out a sound of displeasure from her mouth before putting her hands on her back seater's shoulders and shaking him lightly, “Come on Bob ! Are you blind ? She was completely frustrated to see you here, of course she wants you otherwise she wouldn't have left so quickly.” She explained as the WSO looked down and played whit his fingers not knowing what to do or say. “I don't know what's going on in her pretty little head and honestly I'd rather not know,” she continued with a laugh. “But what is certain is that she likes you.”

He jerked his head up and his eyes widened in amazement at what his friend had just told him, “No, I don't think so-”

“Bob. I know her, she's not the style to go home with a simple stranger-”

“Yet she did.” He interrupted her, taking a step away from her.

“Are you going to stop cutting me off and let me finish ?” She exclaimed slightly annoyed by his stupid behavior, the blond nodded and muttered a sorry before letting the brunette continue. “I don't know how exactly she feels about you but what's for sure is that she appreciates you enough for coming home when you're a mere stranger, and honestly that's worth a conversation.”

“You think ?”

"I am sure of it. And for Maverick,” when he heard his superior's name Bob felt shivers run down his spine but not in a good way like he felt with you the last time. “He won't do anything to you. You are a good person Bob.” Her friend assured him with a big smile on her face one last time before giving him a light pat on the shoulder, she then walked to the field leaving Bob alone with sunscreen badly spread on his face.

Just as you were about to open the back door to get inside again, Penny threw the door open. You quickly pulled away to avoid getting hit and the woman quickly excused herself realising she could have hurt you, you laughed softly reassuring her that it was nothing she then offered to sit together on the wooden table behind you. You turn back to where the brunette was pointing and realized that you were in the perfect angle to observe the pilots playing, you hesitated for a moment but ended up accepting telling yourself that it was a shame not to take advantage of the current weather, but deep inside you you knew that it was better to go home right now before things go wrong. You reassured yourself by seeing from afar that the blond was playing again, you tell yourself that he was not going to notice your presence since he would be too focused on the game. The two of you settled down and began to discuss about anything and everything, without any astonishment the discussion was now centered on your return to Miramar near your father.

“If you wanted to settle outside is it because dad is playing or am I wrong ?” You asked Penny with a smirk before resting your chin on the palm of your hand which was leaning on the wood of the table. She looked at you with wide eyes before laughing nervously and reassuring you that it was only for the sun that she had settled there, you gave her a look that made her understand that you did not believe a single word that came out from her mouth.

“And why did you come back so quickly ? Could it be because of a pilot with glasses ?” She asked quickly trying to change the subject and get herself out of the sticky situation she'd gotten herself into by simply sitting down at her table. You lifted your head and straightened up coughing not expecting this question, you ran a hand through your hair thinking about what to answer but the brunette was faster. “Oh sorry sweetie, that was inappropriate-”

“No, there are no worries Pen.” You reassured her quickly by cutting her off before she felt guilty. “It's just that it's-” You started turning your head to watch the pilot running as fast as he could before jumping slightly to catch the ball, once in hand he lifted it in the airs showing it to everyone around him before scoring a point for her team.

“-Complicated ?” Penny suggested to you looking attentively at your face. You turned your head for a moment to look at her before nodding realizing how much she and your father were alike, they had the same way of comforting you which made you smile softly before looking back at the pilots, now the blond was on rooster's shoulders and you could watch everyone cheering him on, even Hangman was happy with his teammate's victory.

You sighed realising how fucked up you were.

»» ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ««

“Three beers for me Penny !” Rooster asked as you sat next to him at the bar, he turned his head and smiled sweetly at you before putting his hand on your back. “We haven't seen each other in a long time, where have you been ?”

“Bradley we saw each other four days ago-”

“Four days is definitely too long for me, you just got home and I already feel like you left. I need my daily dose from my little sister.” He said putting his arm around your shoulders to bring you closer to him, even if he used to act this way you could feel in his attitude that his action had a completely different purpose. It's like he was trying to comfort you in a certain way. You looked up at him but before you could say anything the older woman brought him his beers, he took them and before turning around he offered you to come with him and the other pilots and without really thinking you accepted.

While most of them were busy playing pool you sat with Rooster on the side, he handed two of the beers he had in his hands to Fanboy and Payback who thanked him before the taller of them resumed his conversation with the blond with glasses in front of him. As you were chatting with Bradley, Mickey couldn't help but look at you, he was surprised that you came after what happened with Bob even though it was still unknown to him what really happened between the two of you but it had been a few days since his friend was completely offline and totally different. He had understood the day in the refectory that indeed something had happened with you but he never wanted to ask thinking that if the pilot wanted to confide he would have come by himself and there was no point in rushing him. When the brunet turned again and gave his attention to the discussion between his friends he could see his blond friend's facial expression out of the corner of his eye, he looked at him and gave him a comforting smile before laughing softly at a joke that Payback had just done.

Bob couldn't take his eyes off you even though deep down the only thing he wanted to do was bury himself six feet underground to avoid meeting your gentle gaze, the feeling of emptiness in him was completely gone and like the warmth the sun that had just been on his neck it descended into his chest. But while his eyes had never left you all evening you turned your head felt observed but you quickly regretted having moved when you came across a pair of eyes as blue, once again the feeling of guilt returned to you. But when you saw that the pilot wasn't looking away and the only thing he could do was blush slightly you gave him a smile as warm as the feeling in his abdomen. He lowered his head before raising it quickly and taking it upon himself to smile back at you, even though on the outside you might look normal, inside you were exploding with joy when you noticed that the pilot didn't hate you not even just a bit. You bit your lower lip already regretting what you were about to do, you nodded your head towards the back door making him understand that you wanted him to follow you outside the bar, he nodded discreetly making you understand that he was going to follow you.

“I'll be here in a minute.” You quickly say to the brunet next to you who was too focused on the game of pool in front of him to notice your eye contact with the pilot before turning on your heels and heading out as fast as you could.

You opened the door and it was only once outside that you realized how hot it was inside, you didn't know if it was just from the people in the bar or from the feeling in your abdomen caused by the man. Once again this feeling of submission returned but you were not trying to fight it and decided to let yourself be carried away by your emotions to see where it will take you at the end of the night, you walked towards the railing and leaned over to lean on it with your forearms. As you watched the magnificent sunset that nature gave you at the start of the evening, the cool wind from the sea slid through your hair like waves on the sand still warm from the day. While you were in your thoughts you didn't even feel the blond's warm and large hand resting on your lower back, as if this place had always been made for him. It was only when he settled into the same position as you that you noticed him, you straightened up and faced him while he kept one of his arms leaning against the wood so that you were also facing you.

Positioned in this way you were taller than him since he was always curled up on himself but you felt so small next to him, at that moment you greatly regretted your choice to have asked him to accompany you outside. You felt the butterflies in your stomach getting more and more excited when nothing had happened yet, you put a piece of hair behind your ear before clearing your throat and decided to speak first. You quickly looked at your feet before straightening your head just as quickly and gathering your courage, “Hi…” You said stupidly, practically in a whisper.

“Hi…” He said, straightening up.

You took the time to observe him attentively as if it had been years since you had seen him when in reality it had only been a few days and yet the only thing you wanted at the moment was to take him in your arms to be able to feel his touch, his skin, his lips against you. His glasses weren't put on his nose correctly, you knew very well that in a moment he was surely going to put them back on correctly while you were talking. His hair wasn't full of gel like last time but it was curling slightly from the salt water he'd swam in with the others earlier that day, you quickly noticed he wasn't wearing his awful uniform but a t-shirt that hugged his bicep perfectly, the same bicep you had clutched at when you felt the orgasm coming- you shook your head to cut yourself off from your own thoughts.

“I'm sorry...” You resumed after a moment.

He frowned and tilted his head not understanding why you were sorry when in his version of the story he was the culprit, “Why ?” He asked without really thinking.

“I am sorry to have left without giving you news, it was not very nice of me. Usually that's what people do, right ? They sleep together and never speak to each other again in their lives, but I-” You started apologizing before stopping to choose your words carefully, not wanting to say anything you’ll regret it. “I couldn't do that. I was scared, that night I felt something new that scared me, something that no one has ever made me feel before and to be honest it’s usually me who make people fell that way. I would have preferred to message you to explain rather than ignore you, but that was the easier option.”

Bob looked at you with wide eyes expecting anything but this from you, he didn't even think that the possibility of you liking him was actually possible. Lost with your confession he did not know how to react, he opened his mouth before closing it quickly not knowing what to say and not wanting to rush you.

“Sorry, I shouldn't have told you that.” You excuse yourself one more time just like him a few days ago then continue with a dry laugh. “You must take me for a someone crazy who liked you as soon as she met you-”

“You-you like me ?” He interrupted you shyly by taking your arm to keep you close to him as you were about to go back inside.

Your gaze first fell on his large hand resting on your bicep before sliding it down his muscular arm to finish on his sweet face, “Yes. That's kind of why I've spent the last few days ignoring you, like today at the beach.” You explained as the confusion on the blond's face grew bigger and bigger.

He let go of you but you did not move away from him, you even took the opportunity to take a step forward to get closer to him. You could feel his breathing on your face while as you predicted, he put his glasses back on before locking his gaze on you and only you. The light and repeated sound of the waves regularly hitting the sand mixed with the resonances of the music of the 80s coming from the bar behind you was the only source of sound around you as the light of the sunset made you see his face more tanned than he really was, you put your hand in the crook of his neck looking at his lips while he never let go of your eyes. He gently leaned towards you gently resting his forehead on yours and closed his eyes to engrave this magical moment in his memory, your two bodies were once again in contact like an uncontrollable fusion mixing with the feeling of burning desire in you.

“I’m scared.” You confessed, breaking the comfortable silence in which you were.

“We can take our time. You know I-I regret having rushed to this point, I would have preferred to take it s-slow and take my time with you but I was so afraid of losing everything and never knowing this intense feeling that I preferred ruining everything.” He reassured you by pulling away from you just enough to look you straight in the eye again.

You smiled at him tenderly before taking him in your arms, your head naturally settled in his neck and you couldn't help but inhale his scent which was still so familiar to you. You were fighting the urge to kiss him but you knew very well that the risk was to lose everything when you had decided to try properly, you took him by the hand and pulled him with you inside as the hints of orange and pink in the sky faded. Once inside the eyes of all the pilots were on you but you ignored them and walked towards the bar his hand still in yours, you settled down and ordered your drinks before starting to discuss to make further knowledge. Despite the fact that you were attentive to what Bob was telling you, you could see Natasha and Bradley watching the two of you intently with indelible smiles on their faces.

A few hours later and you were still at the bar when there was hardly anyone left, the night had completely fallen and the warm colors had given way to the coldness of the dark blue sky filled with luminous stars. You had spent the rest of the evening sitting at the bar and chatting under Penny's sharp gaze as she continued to serve you your drinks. In the meantime the other pilots had left without forgetting to pass by you to say goodbye as if it was necessary, but despite everything it made you laugh to see how the blond's friends tried to be polite and trying to harvest informations without spoiling your moment. Bob had pulled your stool closer to his in one move which made you melt in place but you didn't show it even though you knew he had noticed. You had spent the evening discussing your respective lives and even after a while you had dared to discuss your possible future relationship, the pilot was very attentive and understanding what had touched your heart.

Now you were still at the bar sipping the last drops of your drinks, your knees touching innocently despite your thoughts that were far from innocent. “We should go.” The pilot announced looking at the older woman behind the bar washing her last glasses, even if you weren't the last ones it was better this way. You nodded and stood up at the same time which made you extremely close even though it wasn't meant to be.

Bob paid the woman what he owed even if you insisted on paying your drinks but like the last time you failed as you let him payed, he thanked her for her service before indicating that you could start walking towards the exit, he placed his hand in the small of your back gently not wanting to rush you. “Goodnight Penny !” You cried before crossing the threshold of the door.

“Good night love birds !” She answered teasing you with a big smile while wiping a glass which made you roll your eyes as the blond laughed softly.

Once the two of you were outside you felt the cold of the night that had set in for good, you wrapped your arms around you to keep warm and looked at the boy next to you not knowing what to do. “This evening was really-really great.”

“Yes indeed.” You replied simply with a huge smirk on your face when you saw how nervous he was.

“Can I kiss you ?” He asked in a whisper.

You laughed and lowered your head shaking it gently, seeing your reaction the blond quickly apologized by talking too much, thinking that he had done wrong to say aloud what he was thinking quietly. “I'm s-so sorry, I really didn’t want to r-rush you but it's just that the timing- I mean I thought that the-the timing was perfect-”

“It’s not a problem for me, it's more one for my father.” You say, laughing before raising your head and falling on a pale Bob at the mere mention of your father.

“I- uhm…” He tried to form a sentence.

“I'm kidding ! I'm just messing with you.” You said which quickly reassured me, you could even see his shoulders relax. “You don't have to worried about my dad and as for the kiss I think after what we've already done you don't even have to ask me.” You said tilting your head looking at him with desire in your eyes.

“I just wanted to make sure I wasn't rushing you.”

“And I thank you for that. But in the future don't worry about that.”

He nodded and wasted no more time capturing your lips under the starry California sky.
