(Warning)

Fluff and cheese, idiots in love, clueless duo, team are full on trolling them basically, mentions of drinking, attempt at canon type humour, miscommunications, happens after season one, the cheese continues, found family is dorky…

Back downstairs you finish your coffee, then make a start on all the paperwork you needed to sort through, medic reports and work files that instantly bored you.

What you wouldn’t give right now to be out on a mission or looking into the intel that Harcourt had mentioned previously, what bizarre thing had appeared in Evergreen now?

Lost in the job at hand you half listen to Adrian talking to Chris, because unless there was a mission or something the two just usually hung around here, or deep in the wooded area nearby where they shot and blew up kitchen appliances.

Truth be told everyone else found Adrian a little, ok very, annoying but you enjoyed the moments he gave you his full attention a little too much, this was completely the wrong job to have a pathetic crush on.

Dating where you worked? You had never agreed with that method, but glancing up to see Adrian playing with his small combat knives in his large hands, you fully considered the idea.

“Why don’t you go over there and chat?”

“I have work to do.” You inform Adebayo later that same morning in a low voice, looking away from Adrian who you had been staring at for fuck knows how long, it was beyond tragic.

“Sure, looks like you are getting lots done whilst staring at Vigilante-“

“First of all I’m not staring, and secondly I am super busy.” You snap far louder than you had planned on causing Chris to chuckle to himself deeply, but then he stands and heads out of the room.

You were surprised to see Adrian remained in his seat, usually he would follow Peacemaker around all the time, much to the guys annoyance but there he sat staring at his knives, very closely.

“Hey Adrian!” Adebayo yells alerting him as he sat up straighter in his seat pocketing his knife in one of his many compartments he had hidden in his suit.

“Yeah?” Adrian spins round in his seat then stands heading over towards your desk, whilst you gave Adebayo a look which she welcomes with a grin back of course.

“How cool is Y/N in the field?” Adebayo begins hands open in front of her as of emphasise her point as she adds “ Totally a badass babe am I right?”

“Hey what-“

“I mean sure, you are pretty badass.” Adrian states looking down at you towering over your desk whilst you wished a hole would open up, this was so humiliating.

“Thanks Adrian-“

“Don’t forget the babe part of course.” Adebayo winks at Adrian as if you wasn’t even here which you kind of hoped that you wasn’t.

“Er, aren’t you married Adebayo?” Adrian snorts with a laugh which makes you smile back at your friend, who just rolls her eyes and proceeds to walk back over to her own desk.

“I don’t think-“

“What was that all about?” Adrian sits down next to you in the seat Adebayo had just left, causing you to look up and see her grinning widely back.

“I have no idea-“

“You are a pretty cool babe though.” Adrian practically whispers making you wonder if you had heard him correctly, but you look up to see him glancing back at you with a shocked look on his face.

“I’m-“

“Oh! I bet Peacemaker is looking for me I better head out and go.” Adrian cuts you off quickly standing from the metal seat, then he practically runs out of the office, causing Adebayo to pout at you whilst John chuckled behind his hand.

“You guys are acting weirder that normal, what’s going on?” You demand trying to avoid the humiliation that was coursing through you, by shouting at these two instead this was all their fault of course.

“No weirder than you and Adrian just were-“

“Anyone want a coffee?” You cut off John hurrying to the tiny kitchen to work the ancient coffee machine thankfully not seeing Adrian nearby either.

Adrian had called you a babe and you were frustrated at how happy that made you, what was wrong with you?

Re-entering the office you spot John still at his desk, yet Adebayo wasn’t around which worries you briefly, but you decide that you are just imagining things.

What would the team actually get out of trying to humiliate you in front of Adrian when they did it all the fucking time anyway?

You was just on edge, because knowing that Adrian was close by especially here at HQ, always drove you a little insane and not in a good way.

All you needed was some fresh air real quick, a few moments just stepping outside of HQ to collect your thoughts which was something you had already done today yet here you were again.

Letting the glass door slam shut as you head out the front, you welcome the warm sunshine on your bare arms and the hint of cool breeze that teased along your hair and round the back of your neck.

This calms you enough for a smile to play against your lips, but it soon disappears when you hear the door open quickly looking back to see Adebayo grin widely as she spots you.

“Hiding out here are we?” Adebayo asks with a soft laugh which lights up her face but only proceeds to make you narrow your eyes in response.

“I’m avoiding you if your asking, yes.” You retort but like always Adebayo’s smirk always sets off your own, her smile was both addictive and welcoming which caught you off guard every single time.

“Now why would you-“

“I’m just so angry at how everyone is behaving today, is it the heat going to their heads or am I just going mad?” You question with a well-timed eye roll at Adebayo who tuts back at you loudly.

“We’re behaving no different than yesterday, or even the day before that but you and a certain Adrian well-“

“Don’t start!” You cut off Adebayo with a pointed finger aimed at her face but she easily bats it away with an unimpressed look.

“Ok! But something has to give soon you guys work together we’ve all noticed the looks-“

“Looks?” You question making Adebayo’s smile widen across her face.

“Adrian spends a lot of time staring at you, I bet if you admitted your feelings -“

“Why do you even care?” You whine at Adebayo who momentarily looks caught out which raises your earlier suspicions of something going on up to an eleven.

“I have no idea-“

“You are up to something!” You cut off Adebayo able to read her easily like a book, making you fold your arms across your chest.

“The team are just fed up-“

“Well whatever looks you see Adrian give me they are not of the romantic variety, the guy has no feelings-“

“Adrian claims to have no emotions-“

“Either way, I am a grown adult and if I wanted tell Adrian something I would have by now but I don’t so, there.” You state sounding far more naive in your years than how old you actually were, this was embarrassing.

“If you say so-“

“Hey, there you are!” Adrian appears round the side of the building making both you and Adebayo jump guiltily at the same time.

“Oh my god! You almost gave me a heart attack.” Adebayo shouts at Adrian who just stands there bouncing from one foot to the other, his green eyes not meeting either of yours.

“What’s up Adrian?” You ask him hoping that he hadn’t heard absolutely any of your conversation, because that would surely be the icing on today’s cake.

“Oh! Chris is looking for you but I beg you just ignore whatever he says, ok!” Adrian pleads holding both of his hands in front of him as he takes a step closer into your personal space which you don’t welcome right now.

“That’s easy!” You begin with a chuckle whilst you take a tiny step back from Adrian as you joke “I ignore him all the time anyway.”

You watch as a wide smile matches Adrian’s big eyes when he starts to laugh very loudly, way louder than necessary but his cute actions make you grin back regardless.

“You two are ridiculous.” Adebayo states not for the first time today, or ever actually as with a grin she heads back inside HQ.

“What was that-“

“I better go and avoid Chris then!” You cut off Adrian quickly before he can ask about Adebayo’s final comment.

“Yes! That would be perfect.” Adrian nods with a smile but then quickly adds “Even though I did kind of want to actually ask you if-“

“Can it wait?” You cut off Adrian desperately wanting this moment of awkwardness to end, despite seeing the look on your team mates face which makes you suddenly feel awful.

“Oh sure! It was nothing just a cute story about some, er cats I saw on the way to work and I had some cat follow up questions, but it can totally wait!” Adrian nods whilst slowly backing away from you with a clearly fake smile plastered across his face.

Once he disappears you instantly regret cutting the guy off, what was it exactly that Adrian was gonna ask you?

Also more importantly how did he know you loved cats, you would have definitely enjoyed the distraction in conversation, the idea of big-bad Vigilante finding a stray cat makes you smile to yourself.

Finally back in the office working, in complete and utter silence alongside John you actually welcome the quiet, until soon enough continuous thoughts of Adrian clog up your mind, and you are reduced to typing his name out repeatedly on your work document.

What was wrong with you? Short of writing that you hearted Vigilante on all of your binders, you seriously needed to get a grip and focus on your work instead.

“Do you still have the Gate files?” John asks breaking into your thoughts, which had you moving shit around on your desk without realising what you had left up on your screen.

“Somewhere, wait-“

“Let me look.” Begins John with a groan getting up from his seat, several strides later he is standing behind you then suddenly you hear deep laughter.

“I can see your super busy!” John chuckles pointing a finger at your computer screen, showing that you had typed Adrian’s name over and over, you were such an idiot.

“Ignore that!” You snap hurriedly pressing the backspace key until you ended up deleting the whole document, pressing save instead of the undo tab so now you had nothing.

“So you do like him then? The weirdo busboy who likes to play dress up that’s your type!” John asks you incredulously whilst you felt your face burn red with pure embarrassment, yet again.

“I mean yeah, Adrian is part of the team so of course I get along with him-“

“That isn’t what I asked.” John cuts you off looking away quickly then glancing back with a grin on his face that worries you instantly.

“Ok what is going on around-“

“I’m just messing, cos all I’m saying is you clearly like Vigilante it’s surprising, it’s all we see around the office it’s kind of distracting.” John grimaces like the very idea of talking about this was causing him physical pain.

“Do you think Adrian knows-“

“Knows what?” John cuts you off with a question followed by more deep laughter.

“Ok enough of this, you need to stop being so annoying-“

“But it’s so obvious!” John presses clearly in a mood to wind you up because it was obviously working.

“So what if it is? Adrian hasn’t even noticed or cared about my feelings so nothing is going to happen and why were we even talking about this!” You cry in one loud tirade seriously getting pissed from the direction today was heading in.

“Hey Adrian!” John claps his hands then silently leaves the room whilst you stare at your computer kind of afraid to turn around.

“What is dye-beards problem?” You hear Adrian ask making you wonder how long he had been standing there, and how much had he actually heard.

“I’m gonna murder-“

Hey, murdering is kind of my thing.” Jokes Adrian making you look round to see him grinning back, no awkward look on his face perhaps he hadn’t heard anything.

“So, what is it that I haven’t noticed about you then?” Questions Adrian walking towards your desk with a confused look on his face.

“About me?” You ask as alarm bells ring in your head making you glance up to catch Adrian’s green eyes trained on you carefully.

“Yeah you were saying to John about-“

“Grab lunch with me?” Adebayo cuts Adrian off poking her head around the corner, smirk widening from her face when she saw who you were with.

“Oh snap! I’m interrupting I will-“

“No, wait!” Before overthinking it you grab your phone from the side and race out of the office.

“Do I smell or something?” You hear Adrian call out whilst you literally run away from him, yet again.

Heading to the bathroom you tell Adebayo you won’t be a moment, because you needed to collect your thoughts and stop everyone getting to you.

What was going on?

It was a valid question, because everyone was acting so weird today, enough for Adrian to notice at least which meant something was happening around here, without him of course.

Spotting Adebayo by the bathroom Adrian decides to confront her for some answers, his fifth BFF had never steered him wrong so why would she start now.

“I can’t talk right now-“

“Oh man, why is everyone so busy today?” Adrian begins with a sulky pout then adds “ I just want to quickly ask you why everyone is acting so weird especially Y/N!”

“You really need me to answer that?” Adebayo questions with a loud tut but there is a smile on her face when she glances back up at Adrian.

“Yes, because I am so confused right now-“

“Oh, Adrian.” Begins Adebayo with a sigh then she adds with a laugh “Maybe I could speak to you later and help you sort this out.”

“You mean it?”

“I need to go right now but I promise I will speak to you ok!” Adebayo states with a sweet smile as Adrian watches her walk past him.

Let’s hope Adebayo remembers, because the advice Chris had given him was not helpful in the least, and Adrian desperately needed some answers and fast.

Standing in front of the bathroom mirror which sat on an old medicine cabinet, you were trying to control your breathing once again which was mixed with second hand embarrassment and a hint of rejection for some reason.

Sure you was used to the team teasing both you and an oblivious Adrian, but today it had felt everyone was out to annoy you which right now was putting you in a super bad mood.

Briefly wondering if you could feign sickness just so you could go home to your apartment and forget about today, deciding that would actually be a dream come true right now.

But of course you can’t, so instead you head back out of the bathroom not finding Adebayo but Chris and Adrian instead, clearly having a private conversation together.

“So, how did Y/N say it?” Chris asks which makes you stand stock still when you hear your name being mentioned.

“Dude, I don’t know I’m not even sure what is happening here-“

“You do, you’ve known for a fucking while literally whining to me the whole time about it dude!” Chris moans in annoyance.

“I have no-“

Your eyes widen at the same time that Adrian stops talking because he has spotted you standing there, clearly listening when you shouldn’t be and you instantly freeze up.

“Oh, hey again Y/N!” Adrian nods then does a little wave with his hand then drops his arm because he kind of felt like an idiot right this second.

“So where are you taking this chick on a date tonight then?” Chris asks arching his eyebrows up at Adrian who nods his head then gives you a smile.

“Oh you mean, Britney? Yeah we are going on date probably to go see a film or something.” Adrian nods back confidently even though you knew he was a terrible, terrible liar.

“What happened with Sharon?” Chris asks with a chuckle whilst Adrian starts flapping his hands, looking very caught out causing you to just roll your eyes.

Silently you decide to just walk off, clearly Adebayo had left you here at HQ you just hoped she would bring you something decent back to eat.

Whatever that little conversation with those two was about you needed to forget about it, even if Adrian had a made up girlfriend was that him trying to tell you that he wasn’t interested?

Unless Chris was trying to wind you up he was universally known for being a dick, so you wouldn’t put it past him the thought makes you curse to yourself.

Heading back to your desk you stare at the blank document on the computer screen, the one where you had to start all over again which was the last thing you wanted to do.

But this report had to be finished by the end of day, both John and Harcourt would be on your case otherwise, which was something you didn’t need right now.

Instead you put you ear buds in and block out the noise of the office, waiting for food to be delivered by Adebayo so you might as well try and get some work done.

Listening to music always grounds you in such a way that today it was definitely needed, with everyone trying your patience, even Adrian was driving you insane.

Despite needing to desperately get on with work, you instead make coffee for yourself and of course Adrian, even though he never actually asked for a drink.

It was because you still felt kind of bad for cutting him off earlier outside HQ, still curious as to what exactly Adrian had been going to ask you, but it would be all kinds of awkward if you asked him now whilst back in the office.

Avoiding work completely you instead spend too much time with the shitty coffee machine, in the small kitchen using this as an excuse to both see Adrian and check in on the other’s cos you still didn’t trust them.

Adebayo was acting super strange earlier, she was terrible at keeping secrets and you were sure something was being kept from you, today has just felt super off kilter.

Adrian watches as you place a mug on your desk, looking away when he notices you bending down to pick something up your round ass sticking out even though he had wanted to continue staring.

“Way to be subtle, dude.” Chuckles Chris nudging him hard with his elbow which catches Adrian off guard as he almost face plants the floor, but grips onto the back of the desk he was standing at whilst giving his best friend a dark look.

“Dude, what the fuck-“

Adrian stops shouting at Chris when he sees you approaching them from the left, watching curiously as you place a dark green coffee mug down next to him, this was at least the third coffee you had made for him so far today.

“Why do you keep making me coffee? I never drank the other two-“

“Adrian!” Chris scolds in a shocked voice then with a deep cough he adds “ Y/N has made you coffee using my favourite mug no less , whilst not even asking if anyone else wants one.”

“Do you want a coffee then?” You ask Chris in an awkward voice.

“What I want.” Begins Chris with a smug grin on his face “Is to talk to you in private for a few minutes.”

Adrian’s head swings back from yours to Chris’s at an alarming rate with a look of pure horror on his face, despite not being able to express anything he sure as hell looked upset right now.

“You don’t need to go and talk in private, you can say whatever you need to here Chris.” Adrian states even though he gives his friend a pleading look which says otherwise.

“I don’t think you want me talking about the other night.” Chris informs Adrian who gasps then looking at you Peacemaker adds with a playful chuckle “ This guy got super wasted and-“

“Ok, enough of that!“ Snaps Adrian causing John to laugh and Adebayo to roll her eyes seeing how they were trying to work right now on case files that needed sorting as soon as possible.

“I better go back to work.” You nod at Adrian ignoring Chris who you can see is nodding his head, huge arms folded looking quite intimidating but he was an idiot so the thought passes.

Adrian watches your movements back to your desk, picking up a folder from Adebayo who winks at you then you hurriedly sit in your chair proceeding to hide your pretty face behind the aforementioned yellow folder.

“You could at least have said thanks for the coffee dude-“

“Can you please not mention the other night!” Adrian snaps quietly at Chris who looks nonplussed so he continues “What I said was just drunken crap that vodka-“

“Don’t go backtracking now!” Chris cuts him-off with a laugh, slapping a heavy hand on Adrian’s back, almost knocking him over yet again but he holds his ground.

“I could just deny it-“

“That’s a negative because everyone has heard you going on and on about the hot medic, so by this point it’s just moot.” Chris tells Adrian in a low voice but the masked anti hero reads him loud and clear.

“Fuck, fine.” Adrian growls in response picking up the green mug next to him rewarding it with a suspicious look, which makes Chris tut back at him.

“What’s wrong-“

“Don’t you think it’s weird that Y/N just made me a coffee and no one else? What if she is like a spy or an undercover cop trying to catch me?” Adrian states sniffing the coffee in case he could smell chemicals, unless she had used something untraceable which would be the smartest thing to do.

“What? Where do you get these ideas from-“

“I just don’t get why she keeps making me coffee and why are you laughing right now, I could be poisoned!” Adrian yells the last part loud enjoy for you to look up from your folder noticing Chris watching you carefully.

“Let’s go talk in the kitchen.” Chris announces pushing Adrian ahead causing him to almost spill his coffee, clutching onto it with both hands like it had all the answers for him.

“Look, I’m jealous of you and Y/N Adrian but dammit you don’t even notice! Do you know Y/N spends the longest time stitching you up and she is so gentle and looks after you it’s really cool dude.”

Adrian tries to process the word dump that Chris had just dropped on him, nope it wasn’t working he decides standing there rewarding Chris with a confused open mouthed look.

“Does she?” Adrian finally speaks then decides to take a drink of his coffee, but ends up choking on it when he swallows it down the wrong pipe.

“Fuck yes dude! Did you not hear a single word I said to you the other night-“

“I was blackout drunk dude I don’t even know how I got home after.” Adrian groans from the memory because he had been so ill for days after that, never that bad again.

“You crashed at my trailer you idiot.” Chris shakes his head but with a sigh, then he adds in a softer tone “Well you know what needs to happen today, you finally talking to Y/N and-“

“Why today?” Adrian cuts off with a suspicious look on his face.

“Does it matter-“

“Well I have no emotions if you remember so I can’t-“

“You are so full of bullshit!” Chris snaps walking out of kitchen leaving Adrian staring at his mug of coffee, wondering if it had some kind of hidden meaning that could help him.

If only….

Heading back into the office closely behind Chris, Adrian stops by John’s desk but he just proceeds to ignore him whilst he worked typing furiously with his keyboard.

Noticing Adebayo has now returned with burritos, you take off your ear buds only half hearing the conversation around you as Harcourt spoke loudly.

“I need two people-“

“Send Adrian!” Chris cuts off Harcourt who gives him a dark look but she looks at Adrian who nods in the positive.

“Sure I love stakeouts!” Adrian laughs excitedly waving a wrapped up burrito in his right hand like a wand.

“When have you ever been on a stakeout dude?” Chris questions with a snort.

“Y/N can go and join Adrian for a little stakeout?” Harcourt asks with a wink aimed in your direction which freaks you out for a couple of seconds.

“I have paperwork!” You state quickly.

“You look so busy.” Adrian nods in agreement.

“Go on it’ll be fun!” Smirks Adebayo at you both then she adds “John can do your paperwork.”

“The hell I can-“

“What are we staking out exactly?” You ask Harcourt who looks away to pick up a file from her desk, all the while Chris was watching her with a smile on his face.

The guy had it so bad but Harcourt was good at hiding her feelings, unlike you who seemed to wear your emotions for all to see, unless you were Adrian.

“It’s just to gather some intel on a Mark Baron, well-known drug lordwho owns the only gym in town, we believe he may have got his hands on some alien tech.” Harcourt explains with a serious looking face closing the file she had been holding, handing it over to Adrian who doesn’t even bother to look at it.

“So, we don’t attack?” Adrian asks pointedly whilst you get up from your desk, taking the folder out of his hand gently.

“No! You just watch the gym and take pictures if you think they are doing something illegal that is all Y/N will have to keep a close eye on you.” Harcourt cuts off Adrian before he goes on about his knives or even worse taking a chainsaw with him on the stakeout.

Checking the file, it is very light on the details but armed with an address and picture of this drug lord named Mark you were ready to get out of here.

“Fine.” Adrian scoffs then glancing in your direction adds “Let’s go? We can eat our burritos in the Vigilante mobile.”

“You’ve got to take the van.” John announces with a chuckle which makes you give him a look because this felt like you were being set up.

All day today, so far it has felt like this the team talking about Adrian to you when usually they would be making rude jokes about the guy, who normally ignored them because he had thick skin.

“Ok, then!” Adrian nods sounding less than happy at this arrangement as he goes to grab another burrito, handing it to you then he silently heads out of the room.

“I know you assholes are up to something!” You snap dropping the folder back onto your desk, as you point the wrapped burrito at your teammates, who all find your little out burst amusing.

“You can thank me later.” Harcourt nods at you with a brief smirk your sure you had imagined when it quickly vanishes as soon as it had appeared.

“What does that even-“

“This is such a bad idea.” Chris points at you and then behind him as he states “There is only one way to do this, going to the bar later and drinking.”

“Drunk Adrian? No thanks!” Scoffs Harcourt whilst you just stand there not even sure what is going on.

“Romeo is waiting outside for you then!.” Chris winks at you whilst you proceed to glare but he looks unaffected by your actions.

“Look I’ve told you guys-“

“Just go!” Adebayo huffs whilst you just roll your eyes welcoming the break from the office, just not being stuck with Adrian for god knows how long.

“We will be in contact later.” You hear Harcourt explain right before you rounded the corner heading back outside into the warm and sunny afternoon.

Let’s hope this was worth it…

Adrian choses which music to play, picking one of Chris’ many mixtapes, which was a mix of eighties rock and Swedish metal bands you knew nothing about, but it was fun to watch the guy next to you bouncing in the drivers seat.

A goofy smile spread across his face as he waved his arms above his head then down to his sides , like some bad attempt at the robot but he looked so freaking cute, that you couldn’t help but grin whilst he was lost in the music.

Luckily the music was also loud enough so you didn’t have to talk, but not too noisy that you were going to be noticed parked in the street causing a scene.

Eating your burrito you enjoy this time just with Adrian, despite neither of you talking both just monitoring “Baron’s Gym” which was popular, lots of people walking in and out you hoped not to make a scene.

“Do you really think there are still butterflies around here?” Adrian asks once he has finally lowered the volume of the music, sitting next to you wearing his Vigilante costume sans mask.

“I think it’s fucking stupid doing intel right now in broad daylight, you do know people can see us in here right?” You ask Adrian flippantly.

“I know how windows work-“

“What I’m saying.” You cut off Adrian with a smirk then ask “This all seems for nothing, like wouldn’t it be easier and safer to just do this at night?”

“What like a date?” Adrian asks making you sit up straighter in the passenger seat when you see the hopeful look on his face.

“Nice try.” You joke making Adrian give you a funny look then looks away to glance at his gloved hands instead.

“So you think this was just a way to get us out of the office together?” Adrian asks looking back up at you to see your confused face.

“Why would-“

“I mean we do work well together.” Adrian cuts you off with a smile aimed in your direction.

“Sure do, but this just all seems pointless.” You explain to Adrian who wasn’t listening because he seemed deep in thought, staring at the dashboard.

“I thought you liked hanging out with me?” Adrian asks looking up at you with curious green eyes.

“Yeah, we do work together but I don’t think we have ever actually hung out-“

“We totally should then sometime!” Adrian cuts you off with a boyish smile.

“Sure-“

“Would you have any aversion to a movie night at my place then?” Adrian asks excitedly adding “You could bring the popcorn!”

“Sounds fun.” You nod with a smile, glancing away from Adrian to focus back on the gym the thing you were supposed to be watching.

This was absolutely ridiculous…

“It wouldn’t be like a Netflix and chill type deal cause I have way better movie choices-“

“Do you know what that even means? Netflix and chill.” You ask him with a teasing smile when you notice the very tip of his ears go pink from your question.

“Of course!?” Adrian scoffs back at you complete with a flick of his right hand as he adds “ I have you know, I chill a lot in my free time, which of course means I have sex like all the time.”

“Oh!” You find yourself saying out loud surprised by his answer, as you notice him studying your reaction with a look on his face that just screamed that he couldn’t read you right now.

“Yeah, so how about you-“

“I don’t want to discuss my sex life with you Adrian.” You tell him firmly making him reply with a dumb nod finally looking away to glance down at his phone, at the very same time it starts ringing.

“Worse timing ever-“

Snatching Adrian’s phone from his gloved hand, because you desperately needed a distraction feeling how hot your face was right now it probably wasn’t a good look on you.

“What’s up?” You ask quickly answering the call whilst moving your arm away from Adrian who was trying to grab his phone back from your hand.

“Oh, Y/N where’s Adrian?” Adebayo asks sweetly, a little too nonchalantly which instantly puts you on edge, for the millionth time today.

“Why are you calling-“

“It’s private!” Adrian snaps loudly cutting off whatever Adebayo was going to say, which makes you look back at your team mate who had wide green eyes and actually looked super pissed right now.

Silently taking his phone from your hand Adrian’s gloved fingers brush against yours, then seconds later he moves them to look away glancing out of the window at the busy gym across the street.

“I didn’t mean-“

“It’s ok!” Adrian turns round to glance at you pushing up his glasses on his sharp nose, whilst you feel very overwhelmed all of a sudden with the urge to literally run away, which you proceed to do.

“Are you-“

“I need the restroom!” You practically yell swinging open the van door straight out into the street, as you hop down ignoring Adrian’s voice whilst you race round the front heading directly towards the nearest coffee shop.

“Are you ok?” Adrian asks to himself alone in the van wishing that you hadn’t cut him off, something you did often that frustrated the hell out of him every single time.

Cursing when his phone started to ring again, Adrian pressed the green button with his thumb to answer the call noticing it was Adebayo calling, still bad timing.

“Look it’s not gonna work-“

“I have some news to tell you is Y/N still there?” Adebayo cuts Adrian off then launches into her next sentence hurriedly “ Because this stakeout your on is fake it’s just a distraction.”

“Distraction, why? What the hell is going on today!” Adrian scoffs in annoyance hitting his hand on the steering wheel hard, then once more for luck.

“You really need me to answer that-“

“Yes, I do! Because you guys are acting weird and that’s saying a lot coming from me and my teammate has just ran off.” Adrian sulks down the phone wishing he could have a re-do on today immediately, please and thank you.

“I think you both better come back and Harcourt can explain, look it was just a joke to begin with cause you two are ridiculously cute together and we-“

“Ok, when Y/N comes back from the restroom I will drive us back.” Adrian sighs then hangs up because someone had a lot of explaining to do when they got back at HQ.

Fake stakeout? What was the purpose behind that and why would Adebayo think you both looked cute together, even though the idea made his stomach do that horrible fluttery thing.

Sure Adrian knew the team were acting weird, he also thought you had been involved as well what with making him all those coffee’s today was just as weird, he would definitely need a beer later and to talk to Chris again too.

Checking the time Adrian notices that you have been gone for a little while, maybe there was a queue in the coffee shop, why the hell did he care so much?

But of course Adrian deep down knew the answer to his own question, without anyone telling him even though, everyone thought he was already an idiot and you didn’t have a clue so what was the point.

Sulking Adrian turns the music back up on the old CD player, the lyrics from the song making him sit up as he turns it up even louder.

“You’re the only one, living in my fantasy, in my dreams…”

Fuck, Adrian had it bad if he was relating to a song, one that reflected his feelings perfectly even though he knew for a fact that he didn’t have any.

Feelings that is…

But right now Adrian could’ve sworn that he felt worried, especially seeing how you weren’t here with him in the van, why were you taking so long?

Grabbing his Vigilante mask off the dashboard Adrian pulls it on jumping out of the van, then hurriedly heads towards the nearest coffee shop, seeing how he was rewarded with some weird looks but his only focus right now was to find you.

Walking directly into the coffee shop Adrian looks round and takes note of how literally everyone turns round to face him, most look away again but one person holds their phone up probably to snap a picture.

Adrian briefly folds his arms to pose but remembering why he was here, he pushes past the customer doing a three sixty spin round the store realising that you weren’t in here even, shit.

When checking the toilets yield negative results, Adrian races back out of the coffee shop in case he had missed you but even from here he couldn’t see you in the van.

“Shit, where are you?!” Adrian questions out loud in an angry voice, causing are elderly women who was passing by start clutching her chest like she was in pain or fright he didn’t know.

Looking across the street Adrian nods at the elderly women who was still shouting at him, her face moving into so many shapes which meant he briefly lost focus seeing how she looked like a weird blur in front of him.

“You shouldn’t yell like that-“

“Er, sorry I need to go over here!” Adrian cuts the elderly women off who continues to rant, leaning onto a stick but he was more preoccupied about checking out the gym.

Even though Adebayo had said this stake out wasn’t real, something bad was sitting heavily in Adrian’s gut right now almost like he just knew something was wrong.

Where the hell were you?!
