It was after the first game. For some reason God only knows you survived. In the beginning when the man was yelling about the games something about you believed him. There’s no way someone just picks you up with a promise to play games for big money without a catch. I guess the catch here was death. You hadn’t had a lot of debt, you just made some irresponsible money decisions.
When the guards came in saying that there would be a vote to go home you were glad. You weren’t thinking everyone was going to be greedy but they did. 181 X’s 182 O’s. You were crushed. You didn’t know if you would live to see the next vote. When the lights went off at night you cried silently not knowing if you would ever see the light of day again.
The next morning you were woken up by the song you had been woken up to the day before. You woke up still thinking this was a long nightmare but it wasn’t. The guards told you to line up for breakfast before the next game. You have talked to a few people since being here. You met an older woman and her son who you thought were the nicest people.
“Do you have family outside of here?” The older woman asked you while you guys were eating. You looked at her a little taken aback by the question. You didn’t like talking much about your family. Not because they were bad people or anything just you didn’t want people to be that close to you to know your family.
“I do but we’re not that close” you said giving her a tight lipped smile hoping she would drop the subject. After a while of eating and talking the guards announced it was time for the next game. You had heard around the room that the next game would be Dalgona. The easiest shape to pick would be a triangle so you already knew what to do. But as soon as you got to the game room you quickly realised this was not Dalgona. The room had two rainbow circled tracks on the ground and multiple flags from different countries hanging from the ceiling. Once all the players got into the room the voice started to explain the game and told us to get in groups of five players. Since you had been with the older woman and her son you decided that you only had to find two more people.
The older woman’s son went around the room looking for two more people but as soon as he said that you and the older woman would be their teammates they rejected the offer. The ten minute timer was getting closer to zero and you had met with a younger girl and another woman. Your team seemed strong. You had all different types of people on your team until…
“Why did you have me come to you?” a woman with crazy eyes said. You had recognized her from earlier when you were voting saying something about you can’t choose where you were born or where you died. You didn’t know it all sounded like bullshit to you.
“I’m sorry miss but we already have five people” the older woman’s son said trying to be polite. She scoffed looking at your team up and down and stopping at you.
“You should drop her, she looks weak” she said looking you dead in the eye. Her stare didn’t scare you but at the same time you didn’t want to make enemies in this place. You broke eye contact first.
“It’s okay you can take my spot. I can find another team” you said dryly with a tight lipped smile. Your team looked at you in fear. They did not want to be teamed up with someone like her. You looked up at the clock. 2:49. You had two minutes and forty-nine seconds to find another team. As you were about the walk away the older woman grabbed your arm.
“Are you sure we can tell her to get lost? I would rather be on a team with you anyway” she said seriously. You waved her off though
“It’s fine i’ll find another team” you responded with an actual genuine smile. She let you go and hoped that you would find another team in time. As you walked you took a look up at the clock again. 2:26. You let out a sigh hoping that you would find someone in time. While you were still looking at the clock not looking where you were going you bumped into a man. He had longer hair in a half up half down style. He was cute you thought. If you were on the outside world he would be the kind of guy you would approach but now in this circumstance it was all about survival.
“I’m so sorry miss i didn’t see where I was going” he said while trying to steady you with his arms. You didn’t mind though his touch felt comforting.
“It’s okay I wasn’t watching where I was going either” you said as his arms left you. You missed it.
“Umm do you happen to need one more person for your team. I had to leave the team I was with in the beginning.” you told him as your eyes were faced to the ground. He looked at you for a second, you didn’t look weak at all and seemed you could really be an asset to the team. You didn’t think that he’ll take you though. You were a woman and you guys didn’t even know what game it was yet.
He interrupted your thoughts “ Will you do anything it takes to win?” he said as your head lifted from the ground.
“Yes I will” you said proudly hoping that he would let you in his team.
“Okay follow me” he said as you trailed him back to his group. You looked at the time again. 1:03. It was too late for them to dump you for another teammate right? When you got back to his group you saw three other men. One of the men you remember from the beginning saying that he has played these games before.
“Guys I found our last player” he says as he moves aside to let them meet you.
“She said she’ll do whatever it takes to win” he says as he nudges you forward to say something to the three men.
“Yeah” you agreed “I’ll do whatever it takes to survive” you say as the timer goes off, initiating that the time to pick teams is over.
The speaker overhead explained the game. It would be a six legged race where your ankles would be chained up and you would go through five mini games. Ddakji, flying stone, Gongi, spinning top, and jjegi.
“I guess it’s good we have a female on our team” one of your teammates said. “You know how to play gongi right?”
You shook your head slowly “I’ve never played it before” you responded softly a little scared they would scold you for not knowing. When suddenly the man that chose you to be on the team raised his hand
“I can play gongi” he said with his hoodie slightly covering his mouth
Your teammates laughed “A former marine knows how to play gongi?”
“I have four older sisters, I played with them alot” he responded. When the timer went off for who to play what games it was settled. You would play ddakji, One of the men would play flying stone, the man that chose you would play gongi, another one of the men would play spinning top, and the winner of the previous games would play jjegi.
And the games started. The first few groups were wiped out, not making it past gongi. But it was time for your former team that you were with in the beginning to go. You were scared. You didn’t want to see them die. When the gun went off to signify the start of the games you got anxious. You were sitting next to the man who chose you to be on the team. He was practicing gongi because he knew that it could take up the most time. When the younger girl on your team before lost the first round of ddakji you reached out for his hand to hold. Your touch was shocking. At first he didn’t know what to do.
“ I’m sorry for doing this but this is really scary. Can I please hold your hand a little longer” you said with a pleading look in your eyes. He nodded his head and interlocked fingers with you. For some reason even though you didn’t know him you felt safe around him. Other members of your team seemed to notice your hands but chose to say nothing. By now the timer was ticking down and the woman who took your spot on your last team was struggling with the spinning top. Until the other woman slapped her twice back to back. That seemed to get her in shape. When it was the other woman's turn to play jjegi she politely asked everyone to turn around and they obliged as she went. When everyone heard the jjegi hit five times, everyone turned around to cheer. All five of them crossed the finish line with seconds to spare. Your team and others jumped up to celebrate. You and the longer haired man’s fingers still interlocked, celebrated and cheered for the other team before gunshots were heard from the other side of the room bringing the reality of the situation back to you.
–
It was your team's turn to go. You were one of the last two teams on the track. You didn’t have an audience which you were kinda sad about but it also helped you guys focus more. When the final gun went off for you to start your race you and your team moved as a unit. It was your turn first. On your first flip the ddakji flipped over and your team had a mini celebration before moving on to the next game. Everyone was getting past on the first try except when it came to the spinning top. The man messed up twice and even managed to swing the top behind you guys. But eventually he locked in and went to the final game jjegi. We only had seconds to spare. The man hit the jjegi four times before it lost control on the last one but both men put their foot forward to save it and it was a pass.
Your team crossed the finish line right as the timer went off. You guys celebrated for a little bit thanking God you were still alive but more bullets from the other side of the room made you sick. You walked back with the guards and some people seemed disappointed that there were more people that survived but when you got back in the room the older woman rushed to give you a hug.
“I’m so glad you found a team and made it back safely. I was worried about you.” she said holding you tight and you hugged her back. It kind of reminded you of how your mother used to.
“I’m fine I had a great team” you said while letting her go. You talk to her a little more before going to vote.
Before the vote, one of your teammates encouraged everyone to vote to go home. You had already voted to go home the first time so you didn’t need to be told twice. But after the vote was over the O’s won by a few good votes. And even worse one of your teammates voted for O. After that you just wanted eat and maybe find to find the man that had chosen you.
–
“Hey” you say as you interrupt the long haired man as he is eating.
“Hey” he responds back after he chews the food in his mouth.
“I just wanted to say thank you for letting me join your team,” You say while looking at the ground smiling. “And for letting me hold your hand while I was a little scared” you say looking up at him now.
He smiles at you “It’s no problem without you we wouldn’t have made it out of there” he said.
“No, that was all you. You did the gongi so fast I've never seen anything like it.” you say to him with a genuine smile. “What’s your name?” you ask him.
“Dae-ho” he holds out his hand for you to shake.
“Y/N” you shake his hand slowly.
–
It was time for lights out. As you sat with Dae-ho to eat you found out your other teammates' names, Jung-bae, Young-il, and Gi-hun. You decided that you would stick with them for the time being. You decided to sleep by them too but really wanting to sleep closer to Dae-ho. Even though the light’s went out you and Dae-ho stayed up a little longer to talk and get to know each other more.
He thought you were beautiful. You were smart and funny too. He couldn’t imagine how you had gotten here but he was selfishly a little glad you were here.
“Do you have anybody at home?” he asks, facing you as you both are laying down.
“Nope just me and my fishes” you say back with a laugh. “What about you? Do you have anybody waiting for you at home?” you say inching closer to him.
“Nah I’m all alone” he said as he rested his hand behind his head with his eyes closed. Even with all the chaos you both were in he looked so peaceful. You faced him laying on your side looking at him and taking him in. He was cute of course but also so much more than that.
“Y/N?” he said quietly while his eyes were still closed.
“Yeah?”
“You know your fish are probably dead right?” he says with a slight laugh. You laughed back and hit him with the pillow you were just laying on. Even in life and death situations he made you laugh.
“I hate you” you said as your laughter died down. He was still laughing slightly.
“When we get out of here I’ll buy you more fishes if you agree to go on a date with me?” He says as he faces you.
You let out a small laugh “are you seriously asking me out when there’s a possibility we both die tomorrow?”
“I’m not letting you die, not before our date at least” he says with a determined look in his eyes. He looked dead serious and in that moment you started to trust him.
“Dae-ho you don’t even know me” you say as you look him dead in his eyes. You were starting really like him to the point it would crush you if he died.
“I know you’re beautiful, smart, and you understand my sense of humor, and also on our date I can get to know you even more.” he says. He meant every word you said and by the look in his eyes you believed him.
“Okay, I would love to go out on a date with you” you respond with a wide smile. He smiles back too.
“We should probably get some sleep, we don't know what’s ahead of us tomorrow” you say as you feel yourself getting tired. You yawn as you put your pillow back under your head and shut your eyes.
“Goodnight Y/N”
“Goodnight Dae-ho”
–
You woke up the next morning ready for the next game. All morning you and Dae-ho stayed close together talking about anything and everything. When it was time for the game and you and your group walked to the game room you saw lots of doors and a platform in the middle. You scoot a little closer to Dae-ho to feel safe before he grabs your hand and interlocks fingers.
“You okay?” he asks. You nod your head not being entirely truthful but you felt better.
“Whatever you do try to stay close to me” he whispered in your ear. You nod your head again headed to the platform ready to be told the rules of the next game.
The mingle game. It was explained that the speaker will say a number we have 30 seconds to get in groups of that number and into a room. You were determined the whole time you would stay close to Dae-ho. The platform started moving and the song began to play. You were starting to get nervous but your group devised a plan if the number was above five Gi-hun and Young-il would go find more people.
The platform stopped. Ten players. The speaker said, you, Dae-ho, and Jung-bae ran to a room while Gi-hun and Young-il found more people. They found the older woman and her son and the rest of your old team from yesterday. You were glad to see them knowing that they would be okay for this round at least. Then the lady with the crazy eyes started yelling.
“You guys should be thankful, I just saved your lives” she said loudly in the room. I don't think anyone was paying her any attention. You sure weren’t. When the doors unlocked you were let back out in the game room. You almost slipped on some fresh blood on the floor. You felt sick.
“You okay?” Dae-ho asked again. You shook your head.
“I feel sick I really want to go home Dae-ho” you say as your eyes well up in your eyes. You got back to the platform when Dae-ho engulfed you in a big hug while you cried in his chest.
“I know, I will get you out of here, I will get us out of here.” He responded as he planted kisses on your head. Just as you let from his hug the platform started to move again.
–
You made it pass the next few rounds with Dae-ho directly at your side. There were 126 people left and Young-il made an observation that the next number would probably be two to have an even 100 players left. If that were true you knew you would be with Dae-ho. The platform spins and after a few go sounds it stops. Two players. Dae-ho grabbed your hand tightly and rushed to a red door. He was moving fast plus his legs were longer so you couldn’t keep up. Almost to the door you slipped on some blood. You fell right on your but and dropped Dae-ho’s hand.
Because of the pain you stay on the ground for a few seconds not realizing that you only had 9 seconds left to get to Dae-ho’s door. You hear Dae-ho screaming your name. You get up in a pure adrenaline rush and run to the door. It wasn’t too far but it was a possibility that you might not make it. You weren’t an athletic person but you made it to the door just in time to close. When the door locks behind you, you slide to the floor feeling a rush of emotions. You were relieved that you were still alive but scared because you almost died. Dae-ho went to the floor with you. You held him tight to you and his head rested in your neck.
“Y/N, don’t do that again I almost lost you” he said breathlessly while still holding on to you. You guys separated from the hug and your foreheads rested on each other.
“I’m sorry I just slipped on the blood outside and I thought that I was dead for sure.” you said even more out of breath when some tears fell from your cheeks. He used his thumbs to wipe away some of your tears.
“Hey, hey it’s okay i’m right here you’re safe with me” he says as he wipes away more tears. You look him in the eyes. You had never felt this way for another human before. No one on earth has ever made you feel more safe than he did right now. It was a strange feeling.
You looked up at him then his lips. He caught on and looked down at your lips.
“I know this is a bad time but could i kiss yo-” you cut him off by leaning in and kissing him. The kiss was soft and slow. He went to cup your face with his hands while yours went around his neck. Before it gets too heated you break the kiss and suddenly the doors unlock. You both get up with your cheeks a little red from your mini makeout. When you’re about to leave Dae-ho grabs your hand to keep you from leaving. You turn back to look at him.
“Y/N, I swear to you I will get you out of here” he says with full sincerity in his voice. Your eyes soften at him.
“I know you will. You still owe me a date and some fishes” you say with a smile as you leave the room. He smiles too, following you out the room. He meant every word he said.
You will make it out of here. By any means necessary. Even if it means sacrifice.
warnings: death, guns mention of blood ,regular squid game shi.
a/n: hey guys i'm back after like 4 years with brand new obsessions so send request for anyone on the master list. I made the reader in this kinda an anxious reader idk i'm kinda deprived of sleep but hope this makes up for my absence. love you guyssss
You liked your job. You play a game, slap some people, hand them a card. Sometimes it did feel morally wrong to potentially give them a ticket to their death, but that’s what they signed up for right? That’s what your co-worker kept telling you. You didn’t know his name. Names weren’t really shared in this type of business. He was tall, always had a haircut, and wore the best suits. You thought he looked good. You have been working with him for the past two years. He kept the conversations short but nice. In the cab to the train station you would always ask him how he is doing and he would always say he’s doing fine. That would be all you say unless you asked for help or advice until that one summer day.
It was the beginning of August and the sun was beaming but you were still in your tailored suit. You had just left the cab with your co-worker and went to separate train stations. While you were down in your station you found a disheveled looking man on the bench. Perfect, you thought he would be a great addition to the game. You tapped him and asked him to play. You guys played a few rounds before he won. You probably slapped him a good 6-7 before he got the money and you handed him the card. Little did you know you were being watched. On the other side of the train station two men who were eating their lunch spotted you and called Gi-hun immediately.
As you were leaving the station, feeling like you did a good job today, you felt someone tailing you. You took too many right turns for the two men to keep following you. So you made a plan. You would try to find your co-worker. You didn’t want to bring the threat to him but the guys couldn’t have been that dangerous because they haven’t attacked you yet. Today he should be in the park so that’s where you would check first. You try to walk a little faster to put some distance between you and the men and to try to get to your co-worker faster.
You finally made the right turn into the park and that’s where you saw him. Stomping on bread like he was insane. He was causing a scene and the whole park stopped and looked to see what his problem was. When he was done with his rampage that’s when you ran up to talk to him.
“Hey I know we’re not supposed to be talking to you right now but those two guys on the benches over there have been following me ever since I left the train station.”
His face darkened and he looked over to where the two men were sitting trying to pretend to read newspapers. He had seen them before knowing that Gi-hun had been looking for him for the past two years. He only thought they would come for him, never you.
He looked back at you with a changed face. “Okay follow me we’re gonna get out of here”, he said, grabbing your hand and leading you to the street to haul a taxi. But the two men were not far behind getting the next taxi and following right behind you. In your taxi you and your co-worker sat in the back while he kept looking back to see if they were still trailing you.
“Do you know them?” you asked as the taxi drove the first few blocks.
“I’ve seen them before but don’t know why they’re following you.” he replied looking back to see how far away they were. He looked serious when you looked at him. He always looked so relaxed, even on the bad days when we got back in the cab and there was blood on his collar, he still looked so calm. The taxi had been driving now for about five blocks when your coworker suddenly told the driver to stop. You guys had stopped at some alley God knows where and he told you to get out. You got out with your briefcase and straightened out your suit and so did he. He told you to just follow him and wait for them to attack first.
As soon as that was said the two men’s taxi pulled up to the same alley. They got out and tried to devise a plan.
“Come on it’s only one man and a woman we got this” one of the men said to the other
“I don’t know boss they both could be dangerous”
“Have I ever given you a reason to not trust me? I officiated your wedding for christ’s sake,” the other man shook his head and followed his boss down the alley towards you.
You heard footsteps getting louder and tapped your coworker’s shoulder. When he turned around one of the men lunged at him which he easily dodged and hit him with his briefcase which knocked him out cold. The other man tried to lunge at you which you dodged by backing up and your coworker hit him square in the face with the side of his briefcase which knocked him out too. After he was done he quickly went to check on you.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Did he hit you?” he looked in your face trying to check for any marks or evidence that you’re hurt which made your face heat up.
“No I’m fine I’m not hurt he didn’t touch me” you said while looking him in his eyes. His eyes locked with yours too for a minute before you broke the silence.
“What are you gonna do with them?” you ask with a little worry. You’ve heard the stories about your coworker. He’s known to be cold blooded and not afraid to take anyone’s life, not even his own fathers.
“I should kill them for trying to hurt you but I got something else in mind,” he said so calmly which kinda made your heart drop. One because he seemed to care about you and two he might take their lives.
–
After the whole alley ordeal your coworker got both men in a room tied to chairs with gags in their mouths. They looked really pitiful. You didn’t want to watch whatever went down. As soon as they woke up and started whining it made your insides turn. When the two men finally are familiar with their surroundings your coworker begins to speak.
“How about we play a game? Rock paper scissors minus one but with a twist” you saw him pull out a revolver and knew they may not leave here alive.
“I’m sure you’ve seen it in movies like Russian roulette. Put one bullet in, spin it, pull the trigger”. He says as he puts the revolver to his own head. Click. That chamber was empty, thank God.
“Since you guys thought it was a good idea to follow my coworker around making her scared, now I’m gonna scare you” he says as he puts the gun back on the table. You didn’t know he cared this much about you, Sure it’s been two years but you guys didn’t speak much. You tried to speak more but he would give one word responses like he didn’t want to talk.
The two men were in the chair sweating and crying. And your coworker had the biggest grin on his face at the sight. And so the game begins. Even though this torment is for you, you turned around not being able to watch. You stay turned around for a minute or two. You heard him saying the commands and hearing a few clicks from the gun. During that time he felt your uneasiness.
“Hey are you okay?” he asked while you were still turned around.
“If this is scaring you I can stop. I can deal with them later.” he said caringly while looking you in the eyes. You looked back and saw this glint in his eyes that made you feel safe for some reason.
“No I'm fine but it is a little scary,” you told him. He nodded and looked back at the two men.
“I think we should hurry things up,” he said as he picked up the gun. He started to fill the empty chambers only leaving one empty. He spun it and clocked it back in place.
“This makes the odds of survival 1 out of 6, so whoever loses now the game could be over” he says as he aims the gun at them,
“Rock, paper, scissors,” You turned and saw one of the men holding two rocks and the other holding a paper and a scissors. You started to get anxious so you stand a little closer to your coworker. He notices and inches closer to you too. Now you're fully engaged, wanting to see what happens next.
“Minus one”
You see one of the men holding the rocks take back one but the man with the scissors didn’t move. You put your face on your coworkers shoulder shielding your eyes from what was about to happen.
“You didn’t play so you're disqualified” both men start sobbing and whining because of the gags when, bam, the gun goes off and one of the men is slumped to the side lifeless. The other man is there sobbing trying to scream but the gag isn’t letting any sound more than a whine come out.
You stay turned so you don’t see the body. Your coworker stands in front of you to check on you.
“Are you okay? I know that was a lot but that was the one that almost hit you and I couldn’t let him live after that” he said trying to calm you down. You were fine, more just shocked.
“I’m fine, just a little surprised is all”, you said.
“I’m sorry sweetheart, I didn’t mean to surprise you, you weren’t supposed to see-”
“No not at killing and stuff more about the fact that I mean that much to you to do all this,” you cut him off to say. You also didn’t miss the new pet name he gave you either which made you blush.
“Of course I would do anything for you. I thought you knew that,” He said matter of factly. You smile at his comment forgetting where you are for a moment before you hear another cry from behind you. Your coworker quickly curses at him to stay quiet though.
“Y/N you’re more than just a coworker to me. I want you to be more than a coworker to me” He says looking directly in your eyes with no hint of deceit. You smile and nod your head.
“I would love that,” you as you step closer to him. He steps a little closer to you as well.
You break the silence first, “After you get done cleaning up here pick me up at my apartment at nine” you say before getting on your tippy toes to kiss him on the cheek. After that you pick up your briefcase and quickly leave the room without seeing anything.
After you left the salesman is left in the room with the one man that survived.
You and Peter have been together for months but it’s only been two months since you figured out your Peter Parker was actually Spider-Man. You kinda stumbled upon it by accident. You found his mask under his bed and asked him about it, just thinking maybe he was a fan. But, low and behold he stammered out that he was actually Spider-Man. You took the news pretty well because you’ll love him no matter what. But besides all that this would be the first day you meet the avengers. You were obviously nervous, meeting Gods and Super Soldiers wasn’t just something you did regularly every day.
Peter woke up that morning with all types of clothing being shoved in his face.
“Which shirt do you think they’ll like more babe?”
Peter rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. “I don’t think it’ll matter, it's just a shirt” he responded in a raspy voice.
“Yes it matters! You may think of these people as your teammates but to me ,and almost everyone around the world, see them as international heroes.”
He let out a chuckle at your statement. You really wanted to make a good first impression. “Y/n they’ll love you no matter what you wear I promise” he said before he kissed your cheek. You let out a sigh as he got up and went to the bathroom to start his day.
-
While you both were eating breakfast your mind couldn’t stop turning.
“What could be a good conversation starter with them? Like what do you think I should say?”
Peter playfully rolled his eyes “ You’re thinking too much about it. They’re normal people, well not normal but you know what I mean.”
You let out a frustrated sigh “ Peter! I really want to make a good impression with your friends. Now please help me pick out what to wear?”
Peter looked into your eyes with admiration. If helping making a good impression with his friends made you happy he would do it. So, after you guys finished your breakfast you guys went back into your shared bedroom to start the ‘fashion show’ that’s what Peter called it every time you asked him to help you pick out an outfit.
He sat on the bed while you went into your closet. A few minutes later you came out with a red crop top with blue flare jeans.
Peter's eyes widened “This looks great Y/n, you look great.” You blushed at Peter's comment.
“You sure? You don’t think it’s a little too grown looking?” You questioned as you looked in the mirror.
“No babe you look perfect.” He affirmed.
“No, no, no, I’m not feeling this” you said while taking off the shirt. You walked back into the closet while Peter fell backwards against the bed.
Peter sat there for another good 45 minutes going through countless outfits saying the same thing. Until you landed on the perfect one. (imagine what you want). You looked really good in it. It wasn’t too grown, wasn’t too immature, just perfect. And also Peter was mesmerized by you.
“Peter I think this is the one” you said as you checked yourself out in the mirror. Finally he said in his head.
“Yeah you look r-really good,'' he stammered. You liked when he got nervous like that, it means he really meant what he said.
-
A few hours later you and Peter are walking to Avengers tower. Your hands were getting shakier the closer you got. You tried to give yourself a mental pep-talk on the way. When Peter sensed your nervousness he grabbed your hand and interlocked fingers.
“Don’t worry too much Y/n they’re gonna love you because I love you” he whispered in your ear. You relaxed immediately when he said that. “I love you too” you responded.
“If at any point you need a breather just squeeze my hand three times and I’ll make an excuse for us to leave” he said. You smiled and nodded your head. You loved that he was always looking out for you even in the smallest ways.
You finally made it to your destination and you walked hand in hand with Peter. He scanned his way in and you guys went to the elevator. You were still nervous but definitely more calm after what Peter told you.
When you guys made it to the floor where the Avengers were, Peter shook your hand.
“You ready”
“As I’ll ever be”
When the doors opened you saw all the Avengers standing right in front of you. Your eyes widened with surprise. You weren’t expecting to meet all of them at once.
“Guys give them some space they just got here” Tony Stark said while everyone backed up a few steps. You identified almost all of them. You saw Steve Rogers, Thor Odinson, Natasha Romanoff, Bruce Banner, Clint Burton, Bucky Barnes, Wanda Maximoff and Vision.
Tony walked in front of you and held out his hand “Hi, I’m Tony and you must be the kid’s girlfriend, Y/n is it?”
You shook his hand and nodded “Yes I am, it’s really nice to meet you”. Peter smiled as he saw you meet his dad figure. After you shook Tony’s hand you just decided to introduce yourself to all of them at once, while they were all in front of you.
“Um, Hi my name is Y/n, Peter's girlfriend, and it’s really nice to meet all of you” you said smiling. They all waved back before Nat and Wanda took your hands and led you into the kitchen. You were caught off guard which made you a bit nervous.
“Y/n it’s so nice to meet you. We don't get a lot of women here so we get a little excited.” Natasha explained while Wanda laughed. You laughed too.
“I totally get it, there's a lot of testosterone in here.” You said with another laugh. Nat and Wanda laughed as well which made you feel a lot better.
“You're funny and pretty, how did Peter bag you?” Wanda questions. You just shrug your shoulders
“I also love your outfit by the way,” Wanda added.
“Oh thank you so much” you said beaming. You knew all that time finding an outfit was worth it.
After talking to Wanda and Nat for a little longer you talked to Steve and Bucky. It was kinda awkward because you had little to talk about but Peter was next to you so it was okay.
“So Y/n what do you do?” Steve asked.
“I’m a student at NYU at the moment” you responded. You searched for Peter's hand just to hold because you were a little anxious. Steve and Bucky kept questioning you about your life. It wasn't too bad but you still squeezed Peter’s hand from time to time.
You were at the tower for maybe two hours just getting to know everyone and having fun. Peter asked you if it was okay if you guys stayed for dinner. You obviously said yes because you didn’t want to leave yet either. You were in the kitchen with Clint, Bruce, and Vision. They asked you for help in the kitchen but you were starting to think they didn’t actually need help, they just wanted to get to know you more.
“So Y/n, how long have you and Peter been together?” Vision asked
“We’ve been together for about ten months” you said while leaning back against the counter
While stirring some sauce Clint asked “Is he treating you right?”. You giggled a little
“Yeah he treats me very well and I love him a lot” you responded.
“You think you could see a future with him” Bruce questioned
“Of course me and Peter talk about our future together all the time he’s been talking about getting married in a few years” you smiled thinking back to the conversation you and him had a few weeks ago. Then Tony walked in.
“As long as you have good intentions with the kid, welcome to the family” he said, giving you a side hug which you reciprocated. You felt butterflies in your stomach, today was going much better than you imagined.
Soon you left the kitchen to go find Peter. You found him goofing around with Thor in the living room. You laughed as you watched his childish side come out.
“Babe the foods almost ready come on” you called for him
“Lady Y/n we were having fun playing this game on the phone would you care to join us?”
You liked the way Thor spoke so formally “ Maybe another time dinner's almost ready”
You walked into the dining room as some of the team set the table. You sat down with Peter on your right and Thor on your left. A few minutes later the food was on the table, it was pasta and it looked absolutely delicious. The men in the kitchen did a good job.
You were holding Peter’s hand under the table while you were talking and laughing with the team. You could tell why Peter loved being here so much. They were a family and you could definitely see yourself being a part of this family too.
After dinner it was sadly time to go. You gave everyone a hug goodbye and promised you would be back soon. While you and Peter were walking back to your apartment you couldn’t help the smile on your face. Peter noticed and kissed your forehead. “I told you they would love you”.
When you and Peter were in bed cuddling talking about the day he got a call from Tony.
“Hey kid, just wanted to know if you got home okay?”
“Yeah we’re good, just about to go to sleep”
“Okay cool just wanted to say we loved Y/n and you need to start bringing her around more”
You smiled hearing what Tony said about you.
“Yeah Mr. Stark I’ll definitely start bringing her around more” you hear Peter say.
“Alright, goodnight kid”
“NIght Mr. Stark” Peter said as he ended the call. He saw you beaming and pulled you on his chest.
“I love them” You said while laying on his chest.
“Yeah and they love you too,” he responded.
You snuggled into his chest and you shut your eyes thinking how happy you were with your boyfriend and new family.
warnings: super tiny bit of angst, fighting, overall fluff
AN: Please lmk if you want a part 2 because I sorta left this unfinished
As soon as Eddie saw you for the first time he knew he was in love. You had just transferred to Hawkins Middle school. You were sitting in one of the chairs in the front writing in your sparkly pink notebook with a pink sparkly pen. He didn’t even know your name and he was already planning the wedding. The day you transferred was the day of the middle school talent show. The first time you saw him he was on the stage with his band rocking out to a metal song they wrote. You thought he was so cool. When he got off the stage you walked up to him to tell him how cool his song was.
“Hi, I'm Y/n, and I thought your band was super cool. How’d you learn to play guitar like that?” He was starstruck. His palms were starting to sweat. The prettiest girl in the whole world thought his band was not only cool but super cool.
“I, uh, I kinda taught myself. I could, um, teach you if you want.” Why would he say that? He was already used to rejection so he already prepared himself for you to say no.
“Yes! That would be amazing. I've always wanted to learn how to play.” you said excitedly while smiling. Eddie’s eyes widened. He for sure thought you were going to say no and walk away, but his heart melted when you said you wanted to learn from him.
“Okay, yeah, just tell me when. My name is Eddie by the way.” he said while smiling.
“I’ll let you know, bye Eddie” you said before you turned around and walked away. He muttered a ‘Bye Y/n’ before he walked away back to his band. The rest of that day he couldn’t stop smiling.
~
A week later you decided to ask Eddie for a lesson. He asked if you guys could go to your house. You didn’t think anything of it so you said yes. He said it was because he lived far away but the real reason was because he was embarrassed about where he lived. He didn’t want you to think any less of him. When you both arrived at your house you went to your room and he started to tell you about what each string sounds like.(I have know idea how to play guitar so sorry if this doesn't make sense)
“So this string makes the lowest sound so if I’m doing a low sounding song like I did at the talent show I would string this one the most” he explained excitedly. You saw how his eyes would light up every time he would talk about his guitar. You could tell that this was something really important to him and it was cute to see him so happy.
You guys had spent about hours learning, laughing, and having the best time of your life. By the time your parents said it was time for Eddie to go home it was 8:30 and at this time of year it was already dark outside.
“Eds, do you need a ride home?” you started to call him ‘Eds’ during your lesson which made his heart skip a beat everytime. “ I know you said you lived far away so maybe you would need a ride,” you really didn’t want him walking all the way home in the dark. Eddie knew that in reality he only had to walk 10 minutes to get to his trailer but he really didn’t want you to know where he lived.
“No it’s okay I can walk I’ll be fine” he tried to reassure you, but you weren’t having it. “Eddie, it's really no trouble, me and my dad can drive you home.” He looked at you with a nervous face. “Please Eds, I would feel terrible if something happened to you.” Eddie knew that it would come to this. It was the best day of his life so it obviously had to come to an end. After telling you where he lived you would probably never talk to him again.
“Okay you can drive me home” he sighed out defeatedly. You didn't catch how sad he sounded so you just went along with it. “Alright my dad’s in the car waiting so let’s go” you spoke smiling.
He sighed one more time before you both walked out your room to your dad’s car.
~
You and Eddie both sat in the back while your dad was up front. “Alright son, where am I going?”
Your dad said.
“Uh, Forest Hills Trailer Park” he said quietly, but you and your dad heard him. “Wait. Eddie, you live in Forest Hills?”
He hung his head low and spoke, “ Yeah I didn’t want to tell you because I was embarrassed.”
You looked at him confused.
“Why would you be embarrassed, Eds?” you spoke quietly while your dad started driving.
“Because if you knew that I lived in a trailer park you wouldn’t want to hang out with me.” What? Why would he ever think that?
“Eds,” you started. “I don’t care where you live, I care about you. I would still hangout with you even if you were living on the streets. Cause to me you’re cool no matter what” you admitted quietly so your dad didn’t hear your conversation. Eddie lifted his head and turned to you with a smile. “ Y/n you might just be my best friend” you laughed “Good because you might just be my best friend too.”
~
Ever since that day you guys have been best friends. Until one day in sophomore year. Eddie picked you up from your house to take you to school like he’s been doing for the past few weeks now that he has his license and his van. “Good Morning, sweetheart. Got my breakfast?”
You rolled your eyes with a smirk. “As always, toast with peanut butter” “You know me so well”
Ever since seventh grade you both had a crush on each other. And as you grew so did your feelings. You were in love with your best friend, and had no idea how to tell him.You didn’t notice that he was looking at you so you popped in a Dio cassette and started to sing the music.
“Don’t let your new friends hear you sing this, they may try to have you committed” he said while trying to eat his toast while driving.
“Screw them, this is my favorite song. And hey eat when we get to school. I don't want to go to the hospital the night of the big game I'm supposed to be cheering at.” he laughed while setting the toast on the dashboard.
When Eddie parked you both got out of the van and walked to the doors. “Alright Eds, I’ll see you at lunch?”
“Yeah you’ll see me” you gave him a hug and ran to your first class. He loved watching you run to class. He loved to see your face when you got a good grade on a test and he was the first person you would show. He loved you. He was in love with you, and didn’t know how to tell you.
The day went by fast. You sat with each other at lunch and laughed the whole time. Any time you spent time with him was always full of laughs and smiles. It was 7:00 in the evening, the start of the championship basketball game. You were on the sidelines shaking your pom poms everytime Hawkins made a point. Every now and then you made eye contact with Eddie in the stands. He would make a funny face and you would giggle behind your pom poms.
The game was tied with 7 seconds left on the clock. It was Hawkins ball and one of the players made a game winning three pointer. The crowd went wild. Everyone except the supporters of the other team were on their feet yelling and cheering. All of the cheerleaders dispersed to go over to their boyfriends who were on the basketball team. You slipped to the stands to find Eddie. You found him and gave him a big hug.
“You did great, sweetheart” he muttered proudly in your hair. You squeezed him tighter. “Thank you, Eds.” You looked up at him with a big smile.
As you guys walked out of the gym side by side. Your hands were brushing up against each other. Your heart fluttered with butterflies. It was peaceful until…
“Hey cheerleader maybe you should ditch that boy and be with a man” you turned around to find some guy from the other basketball team.
“Excuse me?” you said confused. Who even was this guy?
“I’m just saying, your little boyfriend here probably can’t take care of you like I can. And you just look so good in this little cheer uniform baby I should probably just take you hom-” the guy didn’t get to finish his sentence before Eddie punched him square in the face.
“Eddie!” you exclaimed. The guy bounced back before he punched Eddie in the jaw. You tried to get in between them and try to stop the fight but you couldn’t. Punch after punch you tried to pry the guy off of Eddie until some other people from the basketball team saw and broke them up.
Eddie was standing there weakly. Tears started to fill your eyes. You ran to him trying to inspect the damage to his body. “Eddie, are you okay? I'm so sorry. I’m taking you back to my place.” you both walked to his van and took the keys out of his pocket. “I’m driving. I don’t care what you say.” you had your permit but you didn’t have your license yet but this would be a good learning experience. Your hands were a little shaky but you calmed down when Eddie wrapped his hand around yours.
When you made it to your house you both walked to your door when you pulled your house keys from out of your pocket to open the door. When you unlocked the door you walked in and told Eddie to sit on the couch in the living room and wait for you. You went to the kitchen to get a first aid kit and an ice pack. When you got back to the living room you turned on the tv and sat on the coffee table to clean his face.
“Oh, Eddie. I am so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen.” you whispered with tears welling up in your eyes. You looked at his face and you saw that he had a bruise on his cheekbone, a cut on his jaw, and he had a black eye. He brought his thumb up to your face to catch a tear that had fallen. “You should see the other guy,” he joked. That made you crack a smile. “There’s that smile,” he laughed. “Shut up, I was so worried about you,” you said. He smiled as he brought both hands to cup your cheeks.
“It’s okay it was not your fault. And I’m okay, just a little bruised” he spoke lowly. You rolled your eyes with a smile. You opened the first aid kit on your lap and got out alcohol to clean the cut on his jaw. He winced a little. “I’m sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you” you said apologetically. He stroked your cheeks as a response. You put a band-aid on the cut and moved on to the ice part. He dropped his hands from your face and placed them on his lap. You softly put the ice on his cheekbone. “You know I could get used to you taking care of me” He said softly.
You laughed dryly “The least I could do since you got into a fight for me.” He smiled as he brought his hands back up to cup your cheeks. “I would do anything for you sweetheart” he admitted. “Anything?” you said while leaning forward. “Yeah, anything for the girl I love”
Your eyes widened. He loves me? He leaned forward to rest his forehead against yours. You nervously dropped the ice from his face and put your bare hand there.
“You love me?” you said suddenly out of breath.
“Yes sweetheart,” he spoke calmly.
“ In a friend way or more than a friend way?”
He chucked “More than a friend way”
“Good” you sighed out before you leaned in and kissed him. The kiss was soft and sweet. Butterflies filled your stomach, you were kissing Eddie Munson. You sat up from the coffee table and on to his lap. You leaned back to get some air.
“Oh and if it wasn’t clear, I love you too.” you admitted while leaning back in to kiss him again. The kiss turned into a make-out before Eddie leaned back.
“Are your parents home?”
“No, there gone for a three day vacation in Chicago,”
“So they're not gonna be here tomorrow?”
You shook your head no.
“Good” he said before he picked you up and ran upstairs to your bedroom.
From that day on you and Eddie were going steady.
~
You and Eddie’s relationship blossomed over the next few years and you were excited to graduate even though Eddie wasn’t graduating with you. It was sad at first but all he needed was to pass one class and you would definitely help him next year.
“Y/n Y/l/n” It was your turn to walk the stage. You stepped upon the stage with your heels and walked to get your diploma. You saw Eddie standing up clapping loudly for you. You smiled and blew him a kiss. You loved that man more than life itself.
After the ceremony was over you ran to Eddie and jumped in his arms, he spun you around in circles which made you a little dizzy but it was okay.
“I am so proud of you sweetheart.” he said while kissing your temple. After hugging your boyfriend you hugged your parents. “We are so proud of you sweetie, so have you decided what you're gonna do?” right you had to decide what to do, go to college or take a gap year. You talked to Eddie about it and he said that he wants you to be happy. He was so understanding in these types of situations. “I decided to take a gap year,” you said while smiling at Eddie. He hugged you from behind, happy and relieved that you decided to take a year off.
~
During the summer you decided to get a job to have some cash and maybe save some money for an apartment for you and Eddie. It was the middle of the school year when you found out your boyfriend started a club to play D&D with some freshmen. You remember when you were in middle school when he was teaching you how to play guitar he also taught you how to play a little D&D. You thought it was sweet of him to do that. You would sometimes come visit and he would have you sit on his lap in his throne at the head of the table. It was kinda awkward but everyone treated you nicely. As time moved on you helped Eddie study and pass all of his classes. When he realized he was on track to graduate you guys talked about your life when he does.
“So what do you plan to do after you graduate Eds?” you asked. You were at his trailer watching tv while he was making a sandwich in the kitchen.
“I don’t know maybe college or maybe try this rock band thing” he admitted. He thought you might say it was stupid to try to start a band. “Yes! You definitely should do the band thing.”
His eyes lifted up to yours and he smiled. You were always his biggest fan. You went to every gig at The Hideout and sung the words to every song. He was stupid to think that you wouldn’t believe in him.
“Alright then maybe I will,” he muttered as you walked in the kitchen and hugged him from behind. “Good because your band is amazing” in that moment something clicked in his head.
~
It was a week until graduation and Eddie was at his trailer with his uncle.
“Wayne, I have been in love with this girl since I was twelve years old and I want to marry her” Eddie leaned up against the wall while his uncle was in the kitchen eating.
“She’s the love of my life, she’s sweet, smart, kind, beautiful, and she is my biggest fan. I couldn’t live a day without her. She is honestly a part of me, when i’m with her I feel like i’m in heaven she just drives me crazy with everything she does. I want to have a family with her and I want to grow old with her.” Eddie poured his heart out to his uncle.
“Where’s the ring?” was Wayne’s only response.
Eddie reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet box. He opened it and Wayne saw a silver ring with a single diamond. Wayne’s eyes widened. “Well I'll be damned. Where did you get the money from?”
“All of my weed money,” Eddie smiled
“Well when are you gonna do it?”
“Graduation day, i’m gonna take her to dinner and then ask her”
Wayne smiled and walked over to his nephew and gave him a hug. “She’s the one Eddie” Eddie hugged him back while smiling so big. Next week is gonna be the best.
summary: after coming back from the multiverse he writes you a letter telling you everything you need to know...
word count: 1.5k
warnings: implied smut but no smut, mentions of murder
When Stephen returned to his universe he couldn’t stop thinking about what his sinister self said. About how he murdered multiple of his variants because they weren't with you. Stephen couldn’t help but think that if this whole multiversal adventure didn’t happen would he have been next. When Stephen was in universe 838 with America, you were with Wong and Wanda at wandagore. It was bitter to see your once friend become a villain. But in the end she was a hero for destroying the Darkhold in every universe. When America opened a portal to get you and Wong back to Karma-taj she then opened a portal to the universe that Stephen was in. When you saw him you immediately ran and hugged him. The impact almost made him fall back but once he regained his balance he picked you up so your legs wrapped around his waist. With a broken voice you whispered in his ear, “ I missed you so much”. Stephen was your best friend if anything happened to him you wouldn’t know what to do with yourself. “ I wasn’t even gone for that long” he said with a raspy deep voice that made him sound sexy as ever. Wait Y/N you can’t think like that he’s your best friend. “ Shut up and let me hug you” you closed your eyes and tightened your legs around his waist. You held each other for another minute before America cleared her throat “Maybe you guys should change before you go at it.”, you blushed as Stephen let you down to stand on your own.
~
You decided to stay at Karma-taj a little bit before you went back to the New York sanctum. You wanted to teach America some skills and you just needed a break from the city and maybe your best friend. You were in the library at around eleven at night when Wong walked in.
“You should rest, Y/n. You’ve been through alot in the past week.” you loved how Wong was so caring but right now you just wanted to be distracted by something.
“Wong, it’s fine, I'm fine.” that came out a little bit harsher than intended but you really didn’t want to talk to him.
“Is this about Stephen?” Why does he have to be so good at reading people?
You rolled your eyes “ Why would this be about Stephen?”
“Because it’s obvious you both have feelings for each other.” your eyes widened.
“Wong, I do not have feelings for Stephen.” That was a big fat lie but you wouldn't let it show.
“Y/N did you see the way you held each other when he came back? It’s obvious that there are feelings between you two. So why don't you just admit it?” he said sternly which made your feelings burst.
“BECAUSE I’M SCARED.” you said in a raised voice.
“I’m scared that if I tell him how I really feel that he’ll reject me and all that happiness that I felt with him will never come back.” you said on the verge of tears.
Wong walked over to you and kneeled in front of your chair to hug you. You wrapped your arms around his neck and started to cry on his shoulder. Wong knew of all the heartbreak that you have been through. He also knew that anytime you were around Stephen you were the happiest he’s ever seen you.
After a few minutes your tears stopped and you let go of Wong. You wiped your face when you saw another figure at the door. It was America. You opened your arms so she could hug you too. After you let go of America you all stood up.
“Face your fears, Y/N Y/L/N.” Wong said.
You nodded your head and walked out of the library to go to your temporary bedroom.
~
The next day you took Wong's advice and decided to face your fears. You didn’t have much at Karma-taj so you didn’t have to pack much. After you said your goodbyes to Wong and America you opened a portal to the New York sanctum. It was silent when you walked it so you decided to go looking for Stephen.
“Stephen? Are you here?” no response.
“Stephen?” you said louder still no response.
Maybe he just wasn’t at home right now. You went upstairs to your room and saw it was just the way you left it, you dropped your bag down on the floor and jumped on your bed. Then you saw something you haven’t seen before. There was an envelope on your nightstand. You picked up the envelope and you saw it had your name on it. It was a little messy but still legible. You were wondering who left this here but then you realized. Stephen wrote this. Your breath caught in your throat and your eyes widened. Why would he write a letter to you? When you opened the envelope your hands trembled a bit. You unfolded the paper and started to read.
Dear, Y/N
I’m writing this to tell you how I feel because I would never have the strength to say it to your face. You're currently at Karma-taj helping America with her skills. And I am here sitting in your room writing this letter. When I went across the multiverse there was this variant of me who killed other variants of me because I wasn’t with you. And couldn’t help but think that I could’ve been his next target. So what I’m trying to say is that I love you. Since the day I met you I knew you would rock my world. You're always so selfless and kind even when you don’t need to be. You give me butterflies when you laugh. The happiness I feel when I am with you is the best feeling in the world. The way I held you when I got back to Karma-taj is the way I want to hold you for the rest of my life. I wake up in the morning for you, I fight mystical battles everyday for you, and I live everyday for you. I know that you will probably never feel the same way or see this letter but it feels good to write all my feelings down. Anyway, I love you, Y/N Y/L/N and I love you in every universe.
S.S
You were balling when you finished the letter. You had no idea you made that much of an impact on his life. You put the letter back down on your night stand. You stood from your bed and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. You wondered where he was. You didn’t even know what you were going to do when he got back. Maybe you should make a plan.
“Hey Stephen, I came back early from Karma-taj and read your letter. Yeah and I wanted to say I’m in love with you too. No that’s stupid.” you said to yourself quietly. Your heart dropped when you heard a portal open. ‘Face your fears Y/N Y/L/N’. You kept replaying what Wong said in your head.
You walked out of the kitchen to the sound of the portal. You walked into the foyer to see Stephen holding paper brown bags which were filled with groceries. He was startled when he saw you almost dropping the groceries.
“Hey, Y/N I didn’t know you would be back-”
“I READ YOUR LETTER” you blurt out not letting him finish his sentence.
His smile dropped. He suddenly couldn’t breathe. He totally forgot he wrote that in your room and left it on your nightstand. He was supposed to get that letter out of your room before you came back. But this is what he gets for being stupid. He set the bags down on the floor, beginning to explain.
“Y/N, I am so sorr-”
“Stepheniloveyoutoo” you said quickly and closed your eyes tightly.
“What?”
You opened your eyes and let out a breath “Stephen I’m in love with you too”
His eyes widened. Was he hearing right? You could tell he was shocked which made you giggle a little.
“Oh, umm, yeah, thank you.” thank you? He just sounded like a total idiot. You smiled. You ran and jumped on him so your arms were wrapped around his neck and legs wrapped around his middle.
“Yeah, you’re welcome” you said while smiling. Your face was millimeters from his. Your hands came up to cup his cheeks while his were under your thighs . You saw every wrinkle and pore on his face. He was so beautiful. You both started to lean when your lips brushed against each other. The kiss was soft and sweet. You felt like you were in heaven. After making out a little his hands moved a little higher to your ass.
You gasped “ Stephen!”
“What? I can’t touch the love of my life?” he said smugly.
You rolled your eyes with a smile.
“Let me show you how much I love you,” he said with adoration in his eyes. You nodded and let him carry you all the way up the stairs to his room.
~
Hours later you both laid in his bed with your head on his bare chest.
summary: you calm bucky down after a nightmare and reveal something that should have stayed hidden…
word count: 1.4k
warnings: mention of nightmares
When you go to sleep at night it isn't unfamiliar for you to hear noises. The noises come from across the hall from your bestfriends room, Bucky. You and Bucky had been bestfriends since he came to the tower. You both have been kidnapped and brainwashed by Hydra, so you guys bonded over that. Tony also knew that which is why he put both of you guys on the same floor. You loved spending time with him, if it was watching a movie, going out for ice cream, or even being partners for a mission. Even life and death situations with him were fun. You loved his sense of humor, his smile, and his laugh,
You loved him.
You had only been able to admit that to yourself a few months ago. You had been on the couch cuddled up with him. You had been having a horrible day. Almost everything went wrong but, when Bucky bought all your favorite snacks and turned on your favorite movie, the bad feeling from that day went away immediately. Since then you’ve been in love with him.
It was maybe midnight when you heard thrashing from across the hall. You assumed it was another nightmare. When you heard him suffering everything in you wanted to go help him but you didn’t want to overstep and ruin your friendship. But tonight was different. Tonight you heard cries. Your heart broke into a million pisces. How could you just listen to the man you love suffer. You couldn’t take it anymore. You got up from your bed and walked out of your door to the door across the hall. You stood there for a few seconds. You could still hear the thrashing and cries. You started to feel tears well up in your eyes, you hated that he was feeling this way. Wiping away your tears you twisted the knob and quickly ran and sat on his bed.
You shook his bare shoulders, “Bucky, wake up it’s me. You’re just having a bad dream.”
At this point his whole body was shaking. Your heartbeat quickened, you had to wake him up. You started to lightly tap his face.
“Bucky! Please wake up, you're having a nightmare!” you practically scream. He jolts up and has his metal arm around your neck.
“Y/N?” when he realized it was he quickly retracted his hand. “I am so sorry. I never meant to do that. I would never hurt you,”
You cut him off with a hug. You wrapped your arms around his neck and his found your waist.
“It’s okay, you didn’t know who it was. I know you would never hurt me.”
You lost yourself in the hug. You wished that you could always hold him like this, but reality hit again. You guys were just best friends. You pulled away from him and saw that he had tears in his eyes.
“Hey, it’s okay, I'm right here. Do you wanna talk about it?” you asked softly.
He looked at you and nodded. You were his best friend and he trusted you.
“It was me back in that hydra base. But it wasn’t just me, you were there too. They had you in this chair and they electrocuted you so many times and I couldn’t stop them. I’m so sorry.” He was in full on tears by the end of his explanation.
“Oh Bucky, It’s okay, It’s not real. I’m right here.”
Then he asked you a question that made your heart stop.
“Could you stay with me? At least till I fall asleep?
“Yeah, of course,” you answered immediately.
You laid down on his bed facing him. He was facing you too, You both just stared at each other before you broke the silence.
“I should probably get to sleep I have to go to shield early tomorrow,”
“Yeah, yeah. I should go to sleep too. Goodnight Y/N.” He said while closing his eyes
“Goodnight Bucky” He had his arms wrapped around you, so your head was pressed to his bare chest. After a while you heard his heart beat even, you assumed he was asleep.
“I love you, James Buchanan Barnes.” you whispered
~
You woke up a few hours later. You checked Bucky’s clock on his nightstand.
6:00 am
You had to be at shield at 7:00.
You carefully lifted Bucky’s arm from around your waist and left his room quietly. When you left, Bucky’s eyes opened. He sat up against his headboard and pushed his hands through his hair. He was rethinking everything that happened last night. Especially what you said last. Did you really mean what you said? He got out of his bed, put on a shirt and went to the floor below him to talk to his oldest friend.
“Steve?” Even though it was early he knew that Steve was up. The guy literally woke up at 4:00 am every single day just to work out. At this time he would just be getting done with his morning run.
“Hey, Buck. What’s up” He walked from out of the hallway.
“I need to talk to you.” Bucky said seriously.
“Yeah what’s up.”
Bucky went on to tell Steve everything that happened last night between the two of you.
“,and she said she loved me. I think she thought I was asleep. But does she really mean it?”
“Does it matter? You don’t love her back right?”
“What? Of course I love her. She’s literally the reason why I wake up every morning. Her smile, her laugh, her voice. She just makes me so happy, Steve. I can’t imagine my life without her.”
Steve was taken back. He never thought that you guys were more than friends. But Bucky’s whole declaration of love to you definitely changed his mind.
“Well, you gotta ask her. You can’t just go around your whole life wondering if she loves you or not.”
Steve was right. He had to ask you.
~
It was about 10:00am when you came back from shield. On your way back you bought some of yours and Bucky’s favorite donuts. When you arrived on your floor you called his name.
“Bucky? I got our favorite donuts. But I’m gonna eat them all if you don’t come out.”
When you heard no response at all. You thought that maybe he was on another floor.
“Friday? Can you tell Bucky wherever he is that I have our favorite donuts and he better come fast or they’ll be gone?”
“Yes, I’ll tell him right away.”
Not even a minute later you heard the elevator doors open and out walked Bucky.
When you saw him walk towards him he looked a little anxious and almost nervous.
“You alright Buck? Is there something wrong?”
“Yeah actually can I talk to you?” he said looking everywhere but at you.
“Yeah sure what’s up?” you started to get a little nervous. Did he hear what you said?
“Did you mean what you said last night?”
“What do you mean I said a lot of things?” you chuckled nervously
“No, when you said you loved me, did you mean it?”
Your heart dropped to your toes. You felt light headed, almost like you were about to throw up. You really thought he was asleep. Now because of your stupid mouth you actually had to admit to your best friend you were in love with him.
“I, uhh, I mean I don’t know”
“Y/N, please.”
You sighed defeatedly
“Yeah, Bucky I meant it. I’m in love with you. I have been for a while now. I know this will probably ruin our friendship but I can’t live with just being your friend.”
You were sure that your friendship was ruined. You were looking at the ground as tears started to fall. Bucky put his hand under your chin and tilted your head up.
A half second later his lips were on yours. You felt fireworks go off in your stomach. He moved his hand to the back of your neck to bring you in closer. His tongue slipped in your mouth as you slipped yours into his. After a few minutes of sloppy kissing you both came back for air.
“Oh I forgot to tell you I’m also in love with you.”
“Shut up” you said and went back in for another kiss.
“Yeah I’m lucky to call you my girlfriend.” he said against your lips.
You leaned back, “ Girlfriend? I like the sound of that boyfriend.”
You both had the widest smiles on your face and went back in for more kisses.
summary: you get paired with eddie for a science project...
warnings: cursing, not following the scientific method
word count: 2.1k
AN: this is based on a scenario I made before i went to sleep last night 😭
(not my gif)
It all started Monday morning in Mr. Robinson’s science class…
“Okay class this week we are going to be doing a partner science experiment.”
You got excited and looked at one of your best friends from your cheerleading squad, Lisa. (change if that’s your name)
“But, you are not going to be picking your own partners, I will. First ones up, Christine Cunninngham and Jennifer Smith”
Your smile dropped. You were sure that you would get paired up with some dick from the basketball team. You were a nice person and were very friendly to everyone but the guys on the basketball team were straight up bullies. Jason, the captain, always bullied the outsiders, and he always bullied Eddie Munson. You always liked Eddie even since middle school. You thought he was kinda cute and never deserved what was handed to him.
“Lisa Marshall and Jason Carver”
She looked at you with pure horror. She hated him just as much as you do. Really almost the whole squad couldn’t stand him besides Chrissy.
“Last but definitely not least Y/N Y/L/N and Eddie Munson.”
Well that was a surprise. For both of you. Over the years you had only talked to him a handful of times. By the time you made it to high school you developed a small crush on him, but you always thought that he didn’t like you. To him, he thought you were the most gorgeous girl he had ever laid his eyes on.
You walked over to his desk in the back of the class. This could be good, maybe by the time this is over you guys could be friends.
“Hey Eddie, I know you don’t know me much but I’m happy that I got paired with you instead of the guys from the basketball team” you chuckled.
He was surprised to hear that from you. He thought since you were a cheerleader that one of the players could possibly be your boyfriend.
“I didn’t know you think that way sweetheart”
You covered your face while blushing. How did he already make you blush?
You laughed, “ So , umm, after school I was wondering if we could work on the project at maybe your house?”
“Sure yeah, we can ride together in my van?”
“Yeah, sounds good. I’ll see you later Eddie” you smiled and went back to your desk for the rest to hear Mr. Robinson tell you the requirements for the project.
As the day went on you couldn’t help but feel giddy. “Hey Y/N, why are you smiling so much?” you were at lunch with Lisa staring off into nowhere thinking about Eddie.
“Oh, I know what this is about. It’s because you got paired with Eddie” she said in a sing-song voice while poking your cheek.
“Oh, quit it. We’re only doing a science project together, besides he’d never like me anyway”
“Shut up Y/N. He’s so lucky that you like him. You are the total package: hot, kind, and smart.”
“Thanks Lisa, You’re the best” you hugged her and finished your lunch.
When the school day came to a close you stood outside waiting for Eddie. A few moments later he came out and ran towards you.
“I’m so sorry sweetheart, I got caught up a little with my friends but now I’m all yours”
You liked the sound of that.
“It’s fine Eddie. Ready to go?”
“ Yeah I’m ready.”
The walk to his car was silent. But both of your minds were running rampant with thoughts about the other. When you got in his van you were hit with the smell of his cologne and cigarettes. You didn’t mind though.
“You mind if I turn on some music?”
“No, not at all. It’s your car.”
He popped in a Queen cassette. When you started mouthing the lyrics to the song. His eyebrows shot up.
“I didn’t know you listened to this music. I thought you liked Madonna or Whitney Huston or something”
“What? I mean yeah they’re great but Queen is better.”
That just made him like you ten times more.
“Okay since you have ‘taste’ what’s your top three?”
“Not in any particular order Dio, Metallica, and obviously Queen.”
When he heard that he wanted to turn his van around and drive straight to the courthouse to marry you. He would have never thought that his crush since sixth would love the same bands as him.
“Hm, I guess you do have taste” he looked at you with the biggest grin you’ve ever seen in your life.
“Well, I could’ve told you that. What’s your top three?”
“Actually they’re the same as yours.”
You couldn’t hold back your smile but you had to play it cool.
“Interesting I guess you also have good taste”
A few minutes later you pulled up to his trailer. Right you guys had to work on a science project. You were too distracted with laughing and blushing to remember why you were actually going to his house.
You and Eddie got out of the van and went inside. You guys sat down in his living room and pulled out your books.
“Hey I was thinking maybe for our project we could make something blow up” He said with a playful face.
“ I mean that wouldn’t be the worst idea” smiling at him “I have an idea,” “alright what is it?”
You stood up fastly “ okay I need dish soap, hydrogen peroxide and yeast. Do you have any of that here?”
“Yeah I got that stuff. What are you up to princess?”
“Guess you’ll just have to wait and see.”
_
After getting all the things together you told him your plan.
“Okay Eds, I-”
“Eds? Hm I like that nickname”
You giggled behind your hand “Okay I’ll keep calling you that from now on”
After showing him the experiment he was esatic.
“HOLY SHIT Y/N that was badass. How did you come up with this?”
“Well when you get bored you just start mixing things together”
“Woah princess, this whole time I didn’t know you were badass”
“Guess there's a lot you don’t know about me Eds”
He just smiled and laughed “ I guess not”
You looked at the clock and gasped “Oh shit” It was 9:30 your parents wanted you home by 8:30.
“I’m sorry Eddie but I have to go home I’m already and hour late”
“Oh shit , that’s my bad. I’ll take you home.” That was sweet of him, really really sweet.
“It’s okay you really don’t have to do that”
“No it’s okay I want to and I’m kinda the reason you’re late.” He really just wanted more time alone with you even though you guys would probably be together all week.
“Okay fine but only because I don’t want my parents to be more pissed at me than they probably are now”
While in the van he put in a Metallica cassette and you both jammed out on your way home. He turned down the radio when he pulled up in front of your home.
“So I guess I'll see you tomorrow?”
“Yeah, most definitely.”
When you left the van he already missed you. You both went to sleep that night dreaming about each other.
The next day instead of going home after school you and Eddie both decided to work in the school library. For a guy who had to repeat his senior year twice he was really smart.
“So Mr. Robinson said we need theory so what do you have in mind, Eds?”
“I was thinking that maybe yeast makes the difference?”
“Yeah that’s good we can go with that”
After a few more hours of work it was time to go home. You had your friend pick you up so you wouldn’t cause Eddie more trouble. But he didn’t care. He loved spending time with you, if was jamming out in his car or working on a project.
“Hey, Y/N I won’t be able to work on this tomorrow I hope it’s okay”
“Oh that’s fine Eds, we’re practically done anyway we can just get the presentation together on thursday.
Still loved when you called him that.
“I, umm, actually have hellfire tomorrow and I was wondering if you would like to come”
This made your heart pound. Eddie Munson wanted you to come to his Hellfire meeting. You were just standing there with a blank face and it made him nervous.
“I mean, y-you don’t have to I just thoug-”
“I would love to” you smiled and laughed at his nervous state.
“Great I’ll see you there”
_
The next day at lunch Lisa could tell something was wrong.
“Y/N you okay?”
You looked up from your food to look at her. The truth was you were anxious about Hellfire. What if they didn’t like you? What if you embarrassed Eddie? What if Eddie didn’t want to be friends with you anymore if you messed up? All these thoughts and more were running through your head.
“Hm? Oh nothing”
Lisa wasn’t convinced
“What’s wrong? Trouble in paradise?” She smirked at you
You rolled your eyes “Shut up.”
Her eyes turned serious. “Seriously, what's wrong?”
“I’m just a little anxious. Eddie asked me to go to his Hellfire meeting and I just don’t want to mess things up with him.”
Lisa could tell you really cared about him. It was cute seeing you crush so hard on a boy.
“Hey, everything is going to be okay. You’re just gonna go in there be yourself and everyones gonna love you” she really made you feel better that’s why she was your best friend.
“Ughh, this is why I love you” you said while hugging her.
“Yeah, I know I’m the best”
“Moment ruined”
You sat back down and listened to her talk about some college boy she was crushing on.
_
Five minutes til Hellfire…
You were in the girls bathroom because you thought you were about to puke up your lunch. You had never been this nervous in your life. This was getting a little pathetic you thought. You splashed some water on your face and left for the drama room. When you got to the door you looked in through the window to see that almost all the seats around the table were taken except one that was right next to Eddie. That must be your seat.
After taking a deep breath you twisted the handle and walked in. Everyone's head in the room turned up to look at you.
“Holy shit, you weren’t kidding” a curly head boy said.
“Told ya. Anyway guys I would like you to meet a good friend of mine Y/N Y/L/N”
You didn’t like that word. Friend. You wanted to be more than just his ‘good friend’.
“Hi everyone it’s great to finally meet you”
Everyone started to ask you questions all at once. The ones you caught were ‘How did you meet Eddie?’ ‘How long have you guys been friends?’ and the one that caught your attention the most was ‘Are you two dating?’ you wish. When you sat next to Eddie all that anxiousness went away. He smiled at you and just like that you were okay.
During your time there you found out names and you picked up on how to play a little. And now you have three new friends, Dustin, Lucas, and Mike. They were really nice to you, especially Dustin. Also during your time there you stole a few glances at Eddie. He looked so pretty being in charge and everything. You were having so much fun but like they say time flies when you’re having fun. But you had to talk to Eddie before you left.
“Eds, thank you so much for inviting me I had the funnest time”
He was surprised you felt this way. Maybe you liked spending time with him just as much as he liked spending time with you.
“You’re welcome, didn’t think you were going to enjoy it that much. We’re all just a bunch of nerds playing a fantasy game”
“No, I love it here and maybe I want to be a nerd too”
God, He was falling in love.
His silence made you feel a little less confident.
“I mean if you don’t want me to join I don’t have too-”
He cut you off with a rough kiss. This definitely caught you off guard. Your stomach filled with butterflies and you obviously kissed him back. He held the sides of your face with his hands. His rings felt cool on your cheeks. When you separated you just let it all out.
“Eddie, I have had a crush on you since freshman year.
“Well I’ve had a crush on you since sixth grade so I win” with that he leans in for another kiss.
For the first time in your life you actually had to thank Mr. Robinson.
summary: you and eddie have been on multiple dates but haven't made it official...
warnings: none i don't think
word count: 884
After that night by your car you and Eddie couldn’t keep your hands off each other. As you promised you guys went on that date. On that first date you guys went to the movies and after the local diner. To sum it up in words, best night of your life. But after that date and many dates later, neither of you made it official. Of course you guys would kiss and hug all the time but you never put a label on it. You wanted to make it official, but you also didn’t want to pressure Eddie. It’s been a month since the first date and you really wanted to talk to him about putting a label on your relationship. When you got into Eddie’s van after school you decided to get to the bottom of this.
“Where do you wanna go sweetheart, your place or mine?” you love when he calls you nicknames. It always makes your heart skip a beat, but it wasn’t about that, it's about making your relationship official.
“We can go to your place” you didn’t really know how to approach this. Should you wait until we get to his trailer or on the way? You decided that maybe it would be best if you wait until you get to his trailer. While in his van he put in a Led Zeppelin cassette and blasted it through his speakers. You loved his music taste because it kinda matched up with yours. While you and him were singing your hearts out you just wondered what it would be like if it was like this forever. You knew it was way too early to think about spending the rest of your lives together but you couldn’t help it, you were so happy. Two songs later you pulled up to his trailer. When you got inside you were hit with the strong smell of weed which you had gotten used to by now. You sat on his couch waiting for him to sit down so you could start your talk.
“You want something to drink? I got water, orange juice, and beer.”
“Orange juice is fine.” When he came to the couch with your orange juice and his beer you started.
“Eddie, I wanted to talk to you about something”
“What’s up, baby” again with those nicknames.
“I just wanted to ask you about our relationship,”
“What about our relationship?”
When you said that Eddie became nervous. Over the past month he has been nothing but smiles. Everyday he is so excited to see you and kiss you and hold you. He had been thinking about making it official with you but he’s just been in his head recently. And now you want to talk about your relationship? Maybe you wanted to stop dating him? Maybe you finally saw him as the freak everyone said he was? Filling his head with all these worries he didn’t even hear you speak.
“Eddie? Did you hear me?”
“No, sorry sweetheart, can you say it again?
“I was just saying that I know we’ve been going on a lot of dates over this past month and I’ve been super happy but I realized we haven't put an official label on things.”
You saw relief in his eyes when you said that which calmed you down as well.
“Actually Y/N, I was meaning to ask you to be my official girlfriend but i’ve just been in my head about it.”
Oh, so he was planning to ask you. That made you feel a whole lot better.
“Well in that case, Eddie Munson, will you be my boyfriend?”
You saw the smile on his face and you had one on yours too.
“Since you beat me to it again, Y/N Y/L/N, I will be your boyfriend”
You guys just laughed together before you both leaned in to kiss. The kiss was like fire. Butterflies were all in your stomach.
“Just like I said before, you take too long.”
When you leaned in to kiss him again he pulled you on his lap so you were straddling him. After a while it turned into a heavy make-out sesh, and let’s just say you didn’t get much sleep that night.
_
The first people you told about your new relationship were your freshmen friends.
“So yeah, me and Eddie are dating.”
They all looked at us confused.
“Wait, weren’t you guys already dating?” Mike said with a lost face.
“No, I mean, I guess we kinda were,” you said while looking at Eddie with heart eyes.
“So nothing changed?” Max asked.
“No not really but I can say now she is my actual girlfriend”
“Yeah and I can say he’s my boyfriend”
“Yeah you guys are weird.” Dustin said and they all walked away.
You and Eddie just laughed at the interaction you just had with your friends.
_
Later that day you and Eddie both walked into lunch and went to your regular table. You thought it would just be a regular day at lunch until Eddie jumped on the table and said…
“I HAVE THE BEST GIRL IN HAWKINS BECAUSE I’M DATING Y/N Y/L/N”
summary: you and steve used to be bestfriends until someone caught feelings...
WC: 1.1k
(not proof read)
(not my gif)
You had known Steve Harrington before he even became Steve Harrington. You were his best friend from kindergarten to ninth grade. He stopped talking to you in ninth grade when you sorta revealed that you had feelings for him. But how could you not? He had a great sense of humor and great hair. You were seriously disappointed when you realized there was no way he would ever like you back. You really were heartbroken when he started dating Nancy Wheeler. You didn’t dislike her, you just didn’t like that she was dating Steve. When you think back to that day you tried to tell him you liked him you try to imagine what it would be like if you didn’t say anything at all…
“Hey stevie,” you said walking with him after school.
“Y/N, you know I hate it when you call me that” he said.
“What? it’s a cute nickname.” you retaliated.
You were excited for this day. This was the day you would tell your best friend that you liked him. You had liked him since fifth grade and finally built up the courage to tell him.
“Steve, I have a serious question for you,” you said quietly.
“Sure what’s up”
“What would you do if I ever told you that I liked you”
This was the way you would do it. Give him a hypothetical and hope for the best.
“ I would probably barf because I could never date you. I only see you as a friend.” He said laughing.
Your heart broke right then and there. At that moment you wanted to run to your room and cry all night. You looked at him with watered eyes. You tried to cover them up by wiping them away but it only made things worse.
“ Wait, you don’t actually like me do you?”
He already knew the answer to that judging by your face. He didn’t know about your crush on him at all. He hadn’t noticed any of the hints you gave him but now it was crystal clear. The way you didn’t want to hangout with anyone else but him, or the times you just looked at him with heart eyes and he didn’t notice. But now it all came crashing down.
“No way! Just thought about that and just said it. Sorry that was weird.” and with that you just walked away with tears falling down your cheeks.
And after that you never really talked to him again. Maybe a few encounters over the years but not the way it used to be. But three years later you still feel the same way you felt then. You never knew why though. He literally rejected you in almost the worst way possible but you just couldn’t shake him. Was that love? No it couldn’t be. These days Steve Harrington was single and hung out with Robin Buckley and a bunch of freshmen. You thought it was cute that Steve was friends with them. He was kinda like their babysitter even though they weren’t babies. You really wish that you and Steve were friends again. He was your rock for years and then one day he just wasn’t. You never really thought about what Steve felt like. I mean you obviously meant something to him, so how did he feel when you stopped being friends?
Well, he was just as heartbroken as you. He didn’t tell you that day but he had growing feelings for you too. Why didn't he tell you that day? He was scared. He was scared that if you guys had started a relationship and something bad happened he would lose you forever. Every day since you both stopped being friends he imagined what it would be like if he just was a man and told you. Maybe you guys would still be together, maybe not. But right now senior year, he wished he would have rolled those dice with you. When he saw you in the halls he thought you looked more beautiful by the day. These casual hookups he was having could never ever compare to you. After his latest hookup with Veronica Walters (name i made up) he realized he was just trying to cope with his loneliness with these girls. Then he found out why…
You…
When he went home that night he made a plan to tell you his feelings. Even though it was three years later he just had to let you know and maybe there would be a slight chance you still felt the same.
When Monday came around you were sitting at lunch eating with a few of your new friends you made after Steve. Ava and Oliver (sorry if that’s your names), you never told them about your past with Steve, you actually never told anyone because it’s kind of an embarrassing story. You guys were talking about what you would do for spring break when you saw no one other than Steve walking towards you.
Your heart started beating super fast. ‘Maybe he wasn’t walking towards you’ you thought, but when he stopped right in front of you it was obvious.
“Y/N, can I talk to you?” he breathed out. He was nervous as hell and it was definitely showing.
“Yeah, sure Steve” you said trying to calm your nerves.
You guys walked outside next to a tree you used to always go to when in middle school. It reminded you both of good memories.
“Y/N,” He started
“I know that we haven’t talked in like three years but I’ve been thinking about you all the time and when I see you in the hallways my heart stops because you look so pretty. And that day when you sorta told me you liked me, well I didn’t tell you at the time but I liked you too and the only reason I didn’t say anything was because I was scared of losing you but now I realize not having you by my side everyday is worse. I know it’s been so long and you probably don’t feel the same but Y/N Y/L/N I am in love with you.” He said in all one breath
Your eyes widened and you couldn’t believe what you were hearing. It was the thing you have been wanting for so long and now it’s actually being said you wanted to cry tears of joy.
“Y/N, please say something”
“Steve, I have been wanting to hear that since the fifth grade” You said with tears in your eyes. This, this was love.
“Steve Harrington, I am in love with you too.” you said smiling
“Well thank God cause that would have been embarrassing if you didn’t” you giggled
“Now you know how it feels, Stevie”
“Ugh, you ruined it we were having a moment and you say that” He said with fake anger
You just laughed and you both leaned your foreheads against each other.
“Hey, your never gonna lose me Harrington because I will always be stuck with you”
