Blindspotting - Collin HCs

Y/N was devastated when Collin left Oakland without a trace. Now it's New Years and he's back. Set after season 2 of Blindspotting.

You were dating Collin for two years before he disappeared

Miles was the one to break the news to you and Nancy called you right after

She was as heartbroken as you were

You were heartbroken to say the least. You tried to so hard to rationalize what he was dealing with, but after all you had been through together? Leaving without a goodbye or contact info?

The love you had for Collin didn't fade, but you were still angry as fuck

You were angry at Collin, the police officer and the system that often paints them as heroes as Collin as a criminal. You wanted it all to burn.

Janelle convinced to take boxing lessons with her to channel your anger.

Every minute in your shared apartment reminded you of him. You didn't have it in you to move his things

Collin left most of his items at the apartment. Only a few pairs of clothing were missing

When you came home the day he left, you noticed the framed photo of you two sitting on the dresser. The picture was supposed to be in the living room.

There were times you stressed, thinking about his whereabouts and if he was safe

Sean asked you about Collin all the time. He was convinced Uncle Collin was communicating with you while he was away

You and Ashley were stuck in a hard place. She didn't get to tell him about Miles yet, so you decided to pretend

Sean believed Collin was on an adventure for work, meeting new people, and saving the day (he came back with a biker gang, so you weren't completely wrong)

You spent more time with Nancy and Janelle because you all missed him and would often lean on each other for support

This led to road trips and yoga classes together. They didn't want you to forget you were still a part of their family whether Collin was there or not

On New Years, just as the clock struck midnight, you were on your fourth drink. Miles and Ashley were having a moment upstairs

Janelle convinced you you needed another shot and just as you were ready to down it, she froze

"Nelle? You good?"

You finally turned around to see Collin standing in the doorway of the kitchen

He looked different. Tired. Anxious. His braids were now locs that passed his shoulders and his beard reminded you of a caveman. He wore a leather jacket and boots that reminded you of a biker gang (unbeknownst to you)

Janelle was the first to move to greet her brother. Everyone else stepped in to greet him, asking how and where he's been

He answered their questions as efficiently as he, refusing to break eye contact with you. All Collin wanted in that moment was you

It was hot as fuck, but you were still upset

Once everyone left him alone, Janelle handed him her shot, threw a pointed look your way and left

Collin couldn't move and neither could you

After all this time, you were still the most beautiful women in the world

He raised his glass, then took his shot. You did the same

He finally moved from the doorway and pulled you close

"Please don't let me go", you begged

"I won't"

Collin held you for as long as he could, leaving a trail of soft kisses on your forehead

More people entered the kitchen to see you and Collin in your own world, holding each other in silence

All the anger and frustration faded, that was a conversation for another time

For now, you were happy to be back in his arms

For headcannons- how about dating Collin after the events of Blindspotting? I want my baby to be ok and know he is loved.

Collin met you at a party with Miles and Ashley

Your friendship with Ashley was instantaneous

Miles said he wasn't sure of you because you weren't from Oakland, but it was a front. Ashley liked you and so did he

Collin talked to you the whole night. He offered to take you home but you already had a ride

The next day, before he can knock on Miles's door, he sees you trying to get into your apartment (right next door) with a bunch of Whole Foods bags in your hands

You: They have great produce

Collin: That's what I told Miles

Miles: This is why you two deserve each other

Collin becomes your "tour guide" for all of Oakland, but he still meets with you every two weeks to go grocery shopping together (at Whole Foods)

Collin sends Miles pictures of y'all there

As much as Miles complains about it, he's happy to see Collin genuinely happy

They all love the way you are with Sean. You quickly assume the role of his "Aunt"

Even Sean ends up asking if Collin is your bf. He's so sad when you tell him no

Sean (the next day after play fighting with Collin): But you like Aunt Y/N? But you don't want to ask her out??

He takes it slow with you though. He's afraid if he moves too fast, you might leave him

Sometimes he feels like he's just waiting for the other shoe to drop

Collin tries not to occupy himself with thoughts of you not wanting to be with him and to just live in the moment.

At times it becomes too much, yet the only person he can think to talk to is you or Miles

It's Ashley who gives him the confidence to ask you out. She already knows how you feel about him

You spend the night out together, having a great time

When he brings you to your door, he gives you a kiss on the cheek

He tells you he doesn't want to move to fast because he doesn't went to get hurt again

You take his hand and smile, telling him he deserves every bit of happiness and he's worth the wait

You know there's a reason behind it, but you know he'll tell you in due time

Collin leaves you, he's breathless and excited for what your relationship has in store

Y/n comforting Collin after the finale rap scene in BlindSpotting..?

Collin comes home before you do. You’re on your way home from work when you get a text from Ashley. Miles filled her in a little when they were on the way home. All she told you was that Collin wasn’t okay. 

You rushed home to see Collin pacing back and forth in the living room. He’s running his fingers through his hair mumbling about a stupid decision. The moment he turned and saw you, he froze. 

How could he tell you he pulled a gun out on a cop?

You told him to sit on the couch and tell you what happened. He rested his head in you lap as you ran your fingers through his braids. By the time he finished telling the story, you knew none of this was his fault and you made sure he knew that. With everything he’s been through, it was bound to come out at some point and that cop had it coming.

Collin relaxed into you when he heard you say it wasn’t his fault. He felt so much better. You convinced him to take the day off from work the next day, so you two could relax and help find ways to work through everything. 

It’s like Miles said: you only get to pull a gun out on a cop once.

Collin feels safe and that’s more than enough for him for now.

POC plus size reader who’s in love with Colin after knowing him her whole life but is scared to tell him because of her size and he finds out

Collin has been your best friend longer than Miles. You can’t say you love them all the same because you’ve been in love with Collin since high school. Miles knew from day one that you two were meant to be. 

You two stayed close until you left for college. It sucked being away from home. You had to choose a school on the east coast. Collin surprises you with a visit during the dead of winter. 

He’s not pleased. 

He came with a windbreaker.

For most of the trip, you two sat close to each other wrapped in a blanket watching movies. In that moment, you wanted to tell him how you felt, but deep down you had an idea of how it would go down. Knowing Collin, he would lovingly tell you that you weren’t his type and you knew it was because of your weight. 

Collin spent most of the trip staring at you when you weren’t looking. He didn’t know how to tell you how beautiful he thought you were without sounding like he was head over heels (which he was). 

When he left, all you could think about were the times you spent together and how comfortable you were around him. The time you were putting braids in your hair and you asked Collin to dip the ends in boiling water. He burned his fingers. You don’t even want to bring up what happened to his favorite shirt when you asked him to seal the ends of your braids with a lighter.

All the times you returned the favor to braid his hair just to see that sweet smile again as he pulled you into a hug. 

It all came to head over the summer.

Miles threw a pool party and some woman spent the better half of the evening flirting (and failing) with Collin. You envied her and her stupid bikini. You were ready to go home, sick to your stomach. 

Collin found you as you were putting on your shorts. You couldn’t help but feel bad when you saw his pout. 

You: I don’t belong here

Collin: There isn’t a place in Oakland where you don’t belong

You: Like where

Miles: *as he walks by* He wants to say in his heart so bad

You laughter dies down when you see how serious Collin is. He drives you home and stops in front of your house. Collin is ready to tell you goodbye when he blurts out his feelings for you. You sit there in silence, shocked and worried that this is all a trick. 

Collin starts to regret his words until he heard you utter the same words. 

Collin: So we’ve liked each other all these years and never said a thing? I thought I might be ruining a friendship

You: *nervous laughter* I thought you wouldn’t like me because of my weight

You grow weary as he refuses to take his eyes off of you. Collin takes your hand and finally tells you how beautiful thinks you are. 

Most mornings he spends his time under the covers kissing every curve and stretch mark. When he’s finished, he always pulls you in for a kiss.

Throughout your relationship, you start your own journey of self love and loving your body the way it is. You spent so long thinking your body was holding you back when it was really about how you felt everyone else saw you. Once you stopped caring, things began to change.

You knew Collin couldn’t be the sole reason you start loving your body, but he definitely played a role in it.

Headcannons of Y/n, Collin, and Ashley trying to convince miles to drink the green juice

Collin literally tells Ashley, “We should make him drink green juice”

Ashley: Great. Amazing. Let’s do it.

Y’all walk out the kitchen as if you weren’t just plotting against Miles’s demise. Everyone has their drinks, but Miles’s is in a plastic red cup. He’s too busy texting on his phone to notice the green juice pass his lips. The moment he tastes it, he starts spitting the juice out, until Ashley threatens to fight him if he gets it on the carpet. 

Miles notices you recording while Collin and Ashley fall on the floor laughing at him. He’s so irritated that y’all were plotting against him and he has no problem letting you know how he feels. 

He’s so loud, Sean comes out the room because all he hears is yelling. 

Sean: Why are you so loud?

Miles: Because our family has turned on me. Giving me that bull--

Ashley: Miles

Miles finally gives in when Sean asks to try it and actually enjoys it. He begs his dad to try it. Miles can’t say no to his son, so he gives it a try. 

To everyone’s shock, he likes it.

Headcannons of Y/n working with Collin and Miles in Commander Moving?

You started working there before Collin gets out of Rita

Which meant plenty of time for you to get to know Miles

He's an acquired taste as you like to put it

You never understood his distaste for Val or vice versa. You like talking to the both of them though

It isn't until Collin arrives for his first day that you somewhat understand

You two hit it off just as quickly as you did with Miles. You understand why Miles and Val are both so protective of him

One afternoon, the two of them were going back and forth over a childish comment. Collin was frustrated as he tried to get them to stop. It was your lunch break, so you took him with you

He was shocked when you told him it's not his job to make them get along, but you would step in to tell them their creating a stressful work environment for everyone

He's so thankful for you

Collin comes to you more often when he's feeling stressed

Miles comes to you to get on your nerves

You get into a lot shenanigans at work

Like the day everyone tricked Miles into drinking green juice and he threatened to quit

Val was pleased

You out super glue on her own one day. She tried to figure out who it was, but you'll never admit to it

You and Val decided to get the employees small gifts for their birthdays

You wanted everyone to feel like they were appreciated because they're family now

Collin enjoys coming in to see you at the desk in the morning. It less awkward for him

You did make fun of him when called Val babe that one morning

Miles and Collin in Whole Foods That's it that's the message lol Thanks a ton! You're a talented writer 😄

Collin perusing the produce section, telling Miles he needs to find radicchio

Miles telling him they can no longer be friends

Collin's basket is filled with different fruits and veggies because he wants to try something new

Miles walking around the store as if everything was put there to poison him

Collin: Get some milk for Ashley. She said y'all needed some

Miles: I'm not giving my family goat milk, oat milk, almond milk, cashew milk. Where is the regular milk? The shit that comes from cows!?

The employees avoiding Miles, but still helping Collin when he needs it

Collin starts picking up cereal and yogurt, then handing him to Miles. He knows it's what Sean enjoys

Miles hates the idea of giving Sean anything from Whole Foods, but caves because that's his son

Collin leaves with his basket almost full

Miles's bag barely has anything in it

Collin (looking over Miles's shoulder): You've been fighting me this whole trip and yet you're leaving with cauliflower crust pizza?

Miles: Good. Bye. Collin.

Collin: But I drove you here???

Okay. This one was fun 😂. Miles would be a mess. Thank you♥️
