SPARKS FLY || CAITLIN CLARK

pairings: caitlin clark x fem!reader

warnings: none

authors note: hii thanks for this request!! this is my first time ever doing head cannons so i hope i did this justice 🫶 enjoy!! (please ignore the fact that i could not think of a title)

- her teammates definitely have a hard time trying to pull her away from you before they get on the bus

- because of this, she gets all pouty and grumpy, but then she gets the amazing idea of face timing you

- once you pick up, you greet her with a warm smile, one that made her melt everytime before standing your phone by your mirror and getting ready

“it’s only been an hour cait.”

“actually, that’s sixty minutes. pretty long if you ask me.”

- caitlin watches you get ready and listens to your rants, admiring your every move

- her teammates look at each other and grin at her lovesick eyes, ready to tease her

- you laugh along with caitlin’s teammates, making her frown jokingly and feel betrayed

- you guys would end the call about thirty minutes later because you had to go to work

- once they arrived at the hotel, she tried to hold herself back from calling you because she knew you probably wouldn’t be home yet

- she wasn’t used to not having you with her, and she wasn’t planning on getting used to it

- hear me out but i feel like caitlin would be the type of person to sleep call

- like even if you guys just fell asleep on accident or did it on purpose, it just makes sense to me

- she would definitely try to wake you up in the morning so she could say bye to you before leaving

“psst wake up pleasee.”

- she knew you wouldn’t wake up, but at least she tried right?

- when you woke up, you realized that she had ended the call. you scrolled through your phone before opening the message she had left you

tried to wake u up but obviously couldn’t 😔 just wanted to say i love u so so much and i wish you were here 😢😢😢

- after their game, i feel like she would definitely surprise you by ordering take-out for you

- once you got the food, you called her to thank her and complained about how tiring your day was

“it’s like you read my mind! i was dreading making dinner the whole day”

Part 8

😢

After talking to Chrissy, Eddie decided he was done waiting. He was going to tell you how he felt. He was finally gonna take you home and tell you.

He ran to your math class to find that your club was cancelled. So he went to the drama room to see if you were there. But Mrs Adler said she hadn't seen you. He thought maybe you went to the auditorium. So he searched for you.

He looked there and the library. But you were nowhere to be found. He waited for an hour by the drama room but you never showed. Making him start to worry.

As soon as he got home he called you. Your brother said you weren't home yet. Now Eddie was definitely concerned. It was raining now and he worried about you walking home. So he got in his van and drove along the route you usually walked. But he didn't see you.

All the worst things that could have happened to you ran through his head.

Where you hit by a passing car? Did you get taken?Did you run away?

He went back home and called again. He sighed in relief when your brother said you were in the shower.

So he waited for a while for you to call him back. But you never did.

What the hell is going on? He thought.

Why didn't you wait for him? Where did you go once you found out the meeting was cancelled? And why the hell weren't you calling him back?

He tried you two more times. Not caring if he looked like a creep. He needed to see if you were okay. Because this was not like you. You would always answer when he called. Always. You wouldn't even let the phone ring 3 times before you would pick up.

God damnit y/n! Pick up!

He was so out of it. Even his uncle was worried.

Eddie sat down on the couch next to his uncle.

" What's goin' on boy?"

Eddie shook his head. He had a very bad feeling.

" I...I don't know. Something's wrong. I just know it."

" Call again."

" She's not answering."

" Just try again."

Eddie sighed and got back up. He went for the phone and was about to dial your number. But then he thought.

The house's line.

He quickly went to his room and grabbed the number you gave him. He went back and punched it in.

It rang a few times before he heard your brother.

' Hello?'

" Hey man it's Ed-"

" uhh Eddie I'm sorry this-"

"MOM! STOP! HE WAS WITH ME!"

Eddie heard your brother shout and put down the phone. He listened as a woman who sounded a lot like Mrs Clark say something he really couldn't make out.

He knew it. Something was really fucking wrong.

He kept trying to listen.

"You will not see that boy ever again!"

Eddie listened to your dad scream at you. Then he heard a very loud gasp and things being moved.

As soon as Eddie heard that he dropped the phone. He went to grab his keys but his uncle stopped him.

" What happened boy?!"

" I-I-I have to go. I-I think she's in trouble."

" Son it's none of our business."

" I think they're hitting her!"

Wayne quickly grabbed his keys.

" Let's go boy!"

...

The moment he saw you he knew. You were hurt. He got out of the truck not waiting for his uncle and ran to you. That's when he stopped and saw your brother.

"y/n?"

" Wh-what're you doing here?" Your voice was low and shaky.

Eddie didn't say anything he just kneeled in front of you and lifted your face. He saw a very red hand print.

He was so fucking mad that he stood up and was about to storm in the house. But his uncle stepped in front of him.

" No. You stay here. I'll handle this."

Eddie nodded and tried to calm down. While his uncle knocked on the door and went inside.

Never in his life had he been so damn angry. How dare anyone lay a finger on you! He didn't care who the fuck they were. He swore right then and there that they would never touch you again.

He went back to you and sat down. He tried to hold you but you flinched away.

He sighed and shook his head. Running his hand through his hair.

You looked at Eddie and his hands were shaking. He seemed to be checked out.

You turned to your brother.

" What is he doing here?" You whispered.

" He...he called the house...I don't think I hung up. Mom had just slapped you. And I put the phone down."

You looked back at Eddie.

Did you hear everything?

You couldn't stop yourself. You grabbed his hand and intertwined your fingers with his. He looked at your hand then looked at you.

He shook his head. " I'm sorry I couldn't get to you fast enough."

You didn't say anything. You couldn't. Eddie came to your rescue. At least he tried.

No one but your brother knew what went on behind closed doors. It's the reason he didn't leave after he graduated.

See your parents have always been very violent towards you and your brother. It started when you were really little. You remembered when you were still very small your parents would pinch you. Then as you got older every time you would get unsatisfying marks in school you would get hit. Even when your parents caught you sneaking food late at night because they started feeding you less you would get beat. It happened so much that it felt like it was actually normal. But to your brother it wasn't. He got hit so bad sometimes that you knew you had to get the hell out of Hawkins as soon as you could. That's why you went above and beyond in school. When you skipped a few grades your parents were actually nicer. And with every A+ you got it kept them from raising a hand to you. You always did what you were told and you NEVER talked back to them. Knowing full well what might happen. But this time you were done. You were eighteen now and you could leave whenever you wanted. But your brother convinced you to stay until you graduate. You didn't want to. On your birthday you actually had your bags packed. However, your brother stopped you. He said that you needed to graduate because you needed a full ride to go to college. And no one would take you if you dropped out. So you didn't leave. And you started your senior year.

So far you had been good. Not doing anything to upset your parents. That was until you fell that first day of school.

When you got home from the doctors your mom squeezed the hell out of your foot and wrist. Saying that it was punishment for skipping school. They always did shit like that. Always hurt existing wounds. They never broke skin and never hit you in the face. Well until tonight.

You were so used to this by now. You were just so numb after every time. This time the only difference was now someone knew. One of the most important people in your life knew you got beat like this. Eddie knew.

As you sat there you just looked at his hand in yours. You wanted him to hold you. To tell you that you were okay and he would keep you safe.

But for the sake of your sanity you thought holding his hand was enough.

Wayne came back out and stood in front of you and your brother.

" Do you have any place to go tonight?" He asked

" Uhh yeah. We can go to my girlfriends house." Your brother answered.

" No we can't. She lives in the next town over. I have school tomorrow and you have to work. You can't afford to miss any days now."

" You're going to school tomorrow?"

You looked at Eddie. " I have to."

He shook his head and looked away from you after you answered his question.

" We can get a hotel room until we find a place." You suggested. " I've been saving all my allowance money and have all my birthday money. You have your savings too so we can do this."

You felt Eddie squeezed your hand. You looked at him again. " Eddie we can take care of ourselves. We kinda been ready for this day."

"No. You will stay with us." Wayne said

Eddie looked at him clearly worried about having enough room for all four of you.

Wayne knew what he was thinking. " We'll make room. I leave for work in a couple of hours. Eddie when I work nights you can sleep in my room other than that you'll take the couch. Darlin' you can stay in Eddie's room because women need their privacy and your brother can sleep on the cot."

" umm I mean no offence Mr Munson. But we're adults. We can-"

Wayne cut you off. " Darlin' you're staying with us. I understand that you think you can do this with just you two. But you are gonna need help. Now... is there stuff you need from inside?"

You replied with a soft yes.

Eddie's uncle was scarier than shit. But you weren't scared of him the way you were with your parents. You were scared that you would disappoint him.

You tried to get up but everything hurt. Eddie put your arm around his shoulders and grabbed your waist. You didn't even need to put any effort. He lifted you up to your feet. Once up, you moved out of his arms holding on to your stomach. It was really hurting something fierce.

You started for the door with Eddie following.

" No boy. If you go in you'll lose your shit. Stay with him. I'll go. " Wayne said pulling him back.

Eddie watched as you walked in with Wayne. He could cry seeing you leave like that. Even when you gave him one last sad look before Wayne closed the door.

He sat next to your brother and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"FUCK!"

" Eddie man. It's okay-"

" What the hell happened!?"

Your brother took a sharp inhale. " Mrs Clark came by."

Eddie turned to look at him. " What-what did she want?"

" She said that her son saw you sleeping with y/n."

Eddie was filled with anger again. His hands started shaking again and his lip quivered. He clenched his jaw and fists over and over again.

Why would she do that? We didn't have sex.

" Did...did you guys get hurt because of me?" He knew the answer but he had to hear it. "Did y/n get hurt because of me?"

" Not exactly. This was bound to happen sooner or later. She just felt like today was the right time to stand up to them."

" Why?"

" Eddie-"

" Why man? What made her do that?"

Your brother sighed before replying. "She was standing up for you. They didn't want her to see you anymore and she refused."

Eddie hung his head.

"Eddie. It's not on you. She was tired of this happening. She wanted out. She always wanted to leave. But I convinced her to stay. This is not on you okay."

Eddie couldn't help but blame himself for you and your brother's injuries. When he thought about this he hoped you would fight for him. But he meant arguing. Not this. Not this type of fight.

What was he gonna do now? He couldn't let you come back to them. He also didn't want him being the reason you got hurt. How long has this been going on? Did he need to stop being your friend? He had to. Right? But should he? After all that? After you fought for him?

"NO!". His inner monologue shouted at him. He couldn't stop being near you. He had to be there. Always. To care for you, to make you laugh, to make you happy. To keep you safe. But most importantly, to love you.

...

When you went back into the house you didn't look at your parents. You quickly moved through your room stuffing a duffle bag full of clothes. You got on your knees in front of your dresser and pulled off your small wads of cash you had duck taped under it. You shoved the money into your backpack with all your school work.

After you ran over to your brother's room and started getting his things. You grabbed his check book and his piggy bank he put all his spare change in.

Your last stop was the bathroom grabbing all the necessities.

You went back out to the living room and Wayne came to you grabbing the bags. You stop for a second to look at your parents. They looked beyond furious.

" I love you guys. But you know what you were doing was wrong. Please get help."

With that said you and Wayne left.

...

You would have felt better if you guys went to a hotel instead of putting out the Munson's. But it wasn't just that you were worried about. Being this close to Eddie was all you could really think about other than the embarrassment of what he heard and saw.

He kept looking at you as if you were broken. To be fair though you were. But still, that look he had hurt you.

As you followed the truck to the trailer park you kept silent. When you finally parked Eddie and his uncle helped with the bags. Eddie came to you and cupped your face.

" It's okay now. You're safe....I'll keep you safe."

Please don't say that.

You nodded and followed him inside.

The warm air of the trailer hugged you. The faint smell of cigarettes filled your nostrils. The soft amber light made the living room look something out of a movie. Mugs and hats covered most of the walls. Everything felt like home. But not like a home you ever known.

Eddie grabbed your hand and led you to his room. While he cleared off his bed you looked around his room. You smiled to yourself seeing his big hand painted Corroded Coffin banner.

His room looked like what you thought the inside of his mind looked like. Everything he liked and loved was here. Even though everything was in disarray. it was all Eddie. And you couldn't help but love it.

He cleared his throat. " Umm it's not much but it's home."

You took a deep breath. " Can...can I hug you?"

Eddie was almost offended that you asked. Of course you could hug him.

"Yeah sweetheart. You can always hug me."

You shuddered at the word. You wanted to cry. You wanted to turn around and leave. But he wrapped his arms around your waist and held you gently.

His wonderful scent filled your lungs. His hold on you was strong but gentle. You melted into him. It felt like home here too.

Just not mine.

You pulled away slightly and looked down. " Can I have a minute to change?"

" Yeah. Umm I'll take blankets and a pillow to your brother... I'll be right outside. If you need me-"

You nodded pulling out of his arms. Still not making eye contact.

Eddie hated this. Hated you being this quiet. This fragile. Like you would never be happy again. He especially hated you pulling away from him.

He left you alone and went to help your brother set up the cot. After a few minutes he thought he heard you call him. Maybe it was his imagination or something. But he swore he heard you crying his name.

So he went to the room and found you curled up back facing him crying. He shook his head and climbed in with you. Your body instantly tensed up as he embraced you.

"It's okay. I'm here."He said just above a whisper

As your body relaxed you turned to face him.

"Eddie. I'm so sorry." You said looking at his chest.

"What for?"

You sighed. " I-I know that this isn't what you were expecting when it came to me and my family. And I can understand that once me and my brother find a place, if you don't want to be my friend anymore. It's okay. I'll be okay."

" No y/n. No. You're right. This is a lot. But that doesn't make me want to stop being your friend. It makes me want to take care of you...so please...let me help."

Why?

" Eddie." You looked into his big brown eyes full with sorrow. " I...I love what we have. And I know this is gonna change how you see me. But please don't feel sorry for me. Because I'm much stronger than I look. I just need a minute to get my head on straight."

" I don't see you any different. I'm looking at you how I've always seen you. And I know you're strong. But you need to know that I'm here. I got you. Whatever you need. I'm here. Always."

Eddie looked back and forth between your eyes. Waiting for you to say that you liked him or that you have feelings for him or something. Anything. But what you did instead caught him by surprise.

You gave him one tender kiss. It was the softest kiss he had ever received. It only lasted a second. Which wasn't enough time for him to process it and kiss you back. He was going to but you pulled away. You looked at him with tears in your eyes.

He didn't know what to do. He wanted to kiss you back but you obviously didn't mean it how he wanted it. There were so many feelings going on right now. And he knew you kissed him because of the sadness you felt. He didn't want it to be like that. He wanted you to want him because you truly wanted him. Not because you're hurting right now and needed some comfort. He couldn't say this and hurt you even more though. So he just stayed quiet.

His words felt true. You know he meant it. So you kissed him. You kissed him because it felt like it was the right thing to do. It felt like it would make you feel better. But it didn't. When your lips touched his there was nothing. No fireworks. No spark. Just...nothing. And when he didn't kiss you back it became clear. You turned around and quietly sobbed.

Maybe you guys weren't meant to do this. Maybe you were always meant to be friends.

Just friends.

Reactions to Superman and Lois S01E14

OH GOD I AM FINALLY WATCHING THIS. Everyone said it's an emotional one and I am SO HERE FOR IT

Okay, so we left off with Edge shooting out into space to become the Eradicator.

Fast forward 3 weeks — are we going to find out what happened in those days? Domestic Kents is lovely but... 3 weeks.

Open house? And Clark surprised? Guess he's not that so close to Lana anymore...?

Jordan and Sarah getting serious... at 14. I'm sure saying it the 38th time to make "responsible choices" is not gonna help, but as parents they probably can't help it, have to repeat it once hundred times more.

Jon working with John Henry! Yes! (And also, yes to him not being a chaperone. Honestly, they are twins and the same age, I bet he would just go outside if Jordan would want to hit it up with Sarah... instead of stopping them or something. He loves his brother and if Sarah makes him happy, he will not interfere.)

"You're making too much sense" 😂😂 That is a parent who can't even pretend to argue anymore. Love dad Clark 🥺

Whoops, Sam is upset and this time rightfully so. He just can't seem to do the right thing, whether it is protecting Smallville or keeping Clark's secret.

Lana is Clark's best friend yet they haven't talked in a while. In a small town. I feel like this is a bit forced, even if they don't talk daily, they would run into each other more. Lois said 4 small businesses closed down. The number of shops in Smallville is shrinking, slowly it'll be one store, and that way you can't avoid people lol

Jordan is too cute, all hearteyes. And Sarah knowing what he meant, aww!

I wish we could see more of Wolé. He's really good in this role. Even if John Henry was just a dick to Jon, sending him off to bit bother him 😢

And Chrissy is selling the Gazette 😭

WAIT has Edge been in space for 3 WEEKS? The fuck...? 😅

Clois moment, aw yiss 😍

I like Kyle and Lana. I want them to be happy 🥺

Okay, the football dudes were nice, I just feel bad about everyone shitting on the Cushings.

I like that Lois and Sam finally gave some details to the people.

Uh oh. Derek Powell's mother and her proof. 😓

Aww Tamera supporting Kyle is nice. A tad late, but at least he got a referral and her support.

Oiiii. "You have no idea what it's like to lose a child." Well, Lois does. And yay for showing Clark's face, too, because it wasn't only Lois who lost Natalie, they both went through it.

Edge and Larr in Metropolis. Like in John Henry's Earth.

Jon and Jordan are 14. "Grab a drink." Damn, starting early. And Jordan not answering General Lane. Oops.

The Cushings are not leaving? Yay!

Fuck, they are leaving. 😭 And Sarah flipping out, damn, girl! Ripping the parents a new one.

IT IS STARTING, YUUUSSS. New Kryptonians. And Lois will report on it ahdghahajahdjau

"Telling me after doesn't help" JOHN 🤣😂

Clark has more stubble in this scene as Superman, and I can't focus on anything but the fact that his facial hair changed when he put the suit on 😂

The hammer is offline! 😱

That is a huge party these 14-year-olds are having. In other movies this is what a college party looks like, not a bunch of kids who just started high school.

TELL HER, JON. She tried to get information out of you. She moved from Central City, her dad is in prison 👀

LOIS IS STANDING EXACTLY WHERE SHE WAS KILLED IN JOHN HENRY'S VIDEO. AND HE SAVED HER!

And Edge is gone. Again. 😬

Big love confessions. And swearing to do long distance. At 14 😬

Shit, car accident. And Jon's right arm is injured again.

And Edge took Jordan. Finally getting exciting.

He's making Jordan the Eradicator or what? Nooooo, it is god damn Zeta-Rho 😂😂😂😂 I was hoping we would not have to hear from him ever again.
