So I completely forgot to specify type of matchup, my bad, so I'm redoing this. Id love a romantic matchup for Marvel in general and one for X-Men specifically, any gender but I have a small preference for the male characters (not really enough to count but
Age- 19
Height- 5'5
Gender/pronouns- nonbinary any pronouns (AFAB)
Hair- reddish brown above the shoulder
Eyes- dark brown
Other- glasses I don't wear enough, freckles everywhere
Likes/hobbies- I show dogs, I ride horses, draw and write, I like music, I enjoy a few video games and shows but I'm mostly an outside person
Personality- I try to be as kind as I can be, refuse to let the world make me bitter. Tend to be empathetic and giving to a fault. Affectionate sarcasm and teasing is common with me. I can be overly emotional and anxious sometimes, but I'm also very self aware and can get a handle on myself pretty quick when that happens. Im a bit insecure about my skin and dealing with acne, but I try to stay confident in my body anyways. I always take care of my loved ones, doing everything I can to keep them safe and happy, sometimes to the point of self-detriment
No worries about taking as long as you need to get to this, you're plenty busy and I really appreciate you <3
Hello!
Thank you for being so understanding about the wait! I really appreciate it! :)
I hope you are excited about both of your matchups!
As requested, general Marvel and specifically X-Men! After reading your information, I instantly thought about one of the characters listed. (*^▽^*)
I hope you like them! :)

Enjoy!

Daniel "Danny" Ketch (Ghost Rider) -
(No gifs of Danny's Ghost Rider, so this will have to do! XD)
Your first meeting with Danny was purely by chance.
You were out horseback riding, enjoying a calm ride across the field of your farm, when you heard the oncoming roar of an engine.
Looking up, you saw a motorcycle coming down the road beside the field that you were in.
Initially, you were surprised by his sudden appearance, but the moment you saw Danny’s face - the dude wasn't even wearing a helmet - you sensed something unusual about him.
And not to mention, he was cute.
It was like the world had slowed, slipping into slow motion...
You rode side by side, a fence between you, your eyes met...
There was just something about him...
From there, your friendship grew over a series of accidental run-ins.
Danny had been passing through your area while dealing with his responsibilities as Ghost Rider, and more often than not, you’d end up chatting whenever he needed a break from his duties.
Sitting on the fence, you'd both eat sandwiches and just talk.
At first, your friendship with Danny was based on shared moments of peace whenever you'd have the time to hang out.
He would occasionally join you while you were horseback riding, and you’d both talk about life and how he felt trapped between two worlds - the one of his human self and the other of his fiery alter ego.
You noticed how hard he tried to balance his responsibilities and how the weight of the world seemed to rest on his shoulders, but you admired his strength.
Your empathy for him drew the two of you closer as friends, and he started confiding in you more about his struggles, something he didn’t often do with others.
He appreciated the way you seemed to understand him without pressuring him for answers.
As time passed, Danny started to realize that his feelings for you had grown beyond friendship.
He loved how you were always there for him, how you didn’t push him away when he revealed his alter ego.
Your presence was a comfort to him, and he noticed how he wanted to spend more time with you.
Sometimes, during long rides together, he'd catch glimpses of your smile or the way you interacted with your horse, and his heart would race without him realizing it.
He began doing little things for you - repairing anything, fixing your horses’ saddles, or even just bringing you coffee from the diner in town because he knew you liked it.
One evening, after a particularly dangerous encounter, Danny took a step he hadn’t been sure he could make.
He looked at you, exhausted from the fight, but saw you still caring for him, making sure he was okay.
"Would it be crazy... If I told you that I was falling in love with you?"
He seemed almost surprised at his own admission, his usual guarded demeanor slipping away as he stood before you.
You looked at him in surprise, then smiled softly, "No... No, I don't think it would be crazy at all. I'm pretty awesome. I get it."
Long walks after sunset, riding horses through the quiet fields, or sitting together in silence while the world passed by.
Danny’s romantic gestures were subtle but meaningful. He would write you little notes or help you with any task, always putting your needs above his own.
His favorite thing to do was surprise you with spontaneous adventures - taking you on motorcycle rides through the night to see the stars.
You loved to take walks together, with Danny at your side as you talked about everything and nothing. You’d both spend time at the stables, grooming your horses, while Danny playfully teased you about your love for the animals.
He was actually really interested in how you showed dogs, though.
At home, you’d make dinner together.
Danny would sacrifice anything for you - whether it was putting his life on the line or just being there for you in your time of need.
He’d always keep his promises to you and would move heaven and earth to protect you.
If you were ever in danger, you would see a different side of Danny. His transformation into Ghost Rider was all-consuming, but with you by his side, he kept his humanity intact. His love for you grounded him.
You would always offer him the unconditional love and understanding he needed.
Danny has a habit of waking up a little earlier than you, but he always stays in bed, pretending to be asleep until you stir.
When you finally wake up, he pulls you into a tight cuddle, his arms around you, and he buries his face in your hair.
He’s not a morning person, but the warmth of you in his arms makes waking up a lot more bearable.
He’ll mumble a soft, “good morning,” and kiss your forehead before you both lay there in comfortable silence for a few extra minutes, just enjoying each other's company.
Every morning, Danny would also brew a pot of coffee for the two of you.
His sleepy smile when he hands you a cup would be enough to make your heart skip a beat.
You both sit together, sipping your coffee in companionable silence, watching the sunrise.
Danny’s sarcasm and teasing are playful, but underneath it all, he’s always gentle with you.
If you’re having a rough day or feeling insecure, he knows exactly how to cheer you up.
He’ll drop a goofy joke or send a teasing smile your way, but it always comes with a reassuring hand on your shoulder, making sure you know he’s there for you, no matter what.
Danny has this endearing habit of lightly tugging on your hair when you’re being cute, teasing you with a soft, “Stop being so cute, it’s making me weak.”
If you’re sitting close to him, he’ll tuck a strand of your hair behind your ear with the gentlest touch, and his fingers might linger just a little longer than necessary.
Sometimes, during those summer thunderstorms, when the rain is pouring outside, Danny will grab your hand and drag you out into the yard or the porch, letting the rain soak you both.
He’ll pull you close, kiss you deeply, and it’ll be like the rest of the world fades away.
The rain may be cold, but in that moment, you’re both wrapped up in each other’s warmth.
You both end up dancing in the rain.
Whenever you walk hand-in-hand with Danny, you can’t help but smile.
You love how his fingers naturally intertwine with yours, and if you’re feeling cheeky, you’ll gently squeeze his hand or nudge him playfully with your elbow.
Movie nights with him are your favorite. You love being snuggled under a blanket together, your legs tangled, as you both settle into the couch. He’ll rest his head on your lap, and you’ll play with his hair, just talking about random things or commenting on the movie.
During the movie, you’ll share jokes and make faces at each other, which always makes him laugh.
You’ll laugh together until you’re both out of breath and then fall into a comfortable silence, knowing that even in the quietest moments, the love between you two speaks volumes.

X-Men;
Remy LeBeau (Gambit) -
(I instantly thought of Gambit for you.)
You met Remy through the X-Men.
You were both part of the team, but you were fairly new to the group.
Your ability to connect with others' minds and control them like a puppet on missions, and your ability to connect with people quickly and make friends caught his attention.
Remy, being a charming and playful soul, quickly warmed up to you when he saw how caring and kind you were to the rest of the team, despite their rough edges.
You’d often catch him watching you from a distance, a smirk on his face as you helped with the team’s more delicate missions.
You'd even spot him staring at you, smirk on his face, leaning against the wall - with his arms crossed - when you were bonding with the other members of the team or any of the kids/students at the mansion.
There was one mission in particular where you saved him when he was cornered by enemies, and the way you handled the situation made him see you in a new light - not just as an ally, but as someone he admired deeply and trusted.
He liked that you didn't hesitate to jump on and take change when needed.
In the beginning, your friendship with Gambit had a teasing, flirty dynamic.
He'd always throw playful comments your way, calling you "mon cher" or some other affectionate nickname.
This always made you roll your eyes, you couldn't help but smile.
Despite his flirty demeanor, he was surprisingly protective of you, often watching your back during missions.
You both spent a lot of time sparring together to hone your fighting skills.
When you weren't fighting side by side, you would both retreat to the gym to practice and joke around.
Remy admired your ability to handle pressure with grace, something he respected deeply.
You also shared many conversations late into the night in the X-Mansion, where you'd sit on the porch, or balcony, sipping on something warm, and talk about your lives.
Your love of animals, your horses, dogs, and how your art helped you express yourself.
Gambit admired your vulnerability, and you could tell he was gradually letting his walls down around you.
Lots of admiring...
Over time, the friendship evolved into something deeper.
You noticed the way Remy's demeanor shifted around you - the teasing became more sincere, the touches lingered just a little longer, and there was a softness, a gentleness, in his gaze whenever you looked at him, or he looked at you.
You were the first person to notice when Remy was struggling with his past.
You could tell he carried some emotional weight, and instead of shying away from it, you gave him space to talk or simply offered a shoulder to cry or lean on.
This was when he started realizing that maybe you were the person he had been looking for all along.
Someone who understood the complexities of life and didn't judge him.
His feelings for you intensified, especially when he caught himself thinking about you.
He would find himself thinking about you in the most random of moments when you weren't around.
When he was on a solo mission, he would think about you, wondering how you were doing back at the mansion.
When he is in the kitchen of the mansion getting something to eat, he thinks about you, wondering if you are hungry, before grabbing your favorite snack to bring you.
And at night, before bed, he'd lay in bed and think about you.
He'd close his eyes, and see your smile, the shimmer in your eyes, and he was positive that he could hear your laugh...
When you smiled, it was like the whole world lit up.
You made him want to be a better person, and he admired how you handled everything, even your insecurities, with a quiet strength.
He adored you.
It happened on a mission - one where you were both caught in a high-stakes situation.
Remy's usual cocky attitude faltered for the first time when he thought he might lose you.
You had been hit, bleeding from your side, and he held you. He held you to his chest as he waited impatiently for the jet to come and pick you both up.
He felt like his heart was being punched, kicked, squeezed, as he begged you to keep your eyes open, to stay alive...
Back at the mansion, he continued to stay by your side. But he was sent away during your surgery.
He paced and paced until he was allowed in to see you.
He sat beside your bed, a deep sigh leaving him.
"I don’t know how to say this, but…" He started, hesitating for a moment.
He took a deep breath and looked at you, his hand reaching out to take yours, "I don’t just care about you, mon cher. I’ve been falling for you for a while now. I guess… I didn’t know how to handle it before, but I can’t keep pretending I don’t feel it."
He sighed, shutting his eyes, and bowing his head.
"Remy… You… You’ve been falling for me?"
"You’re awake," He whispered, his breath shaky with emotion. "Thank God… I don’t know what I would’ve done if I lost you."
"Remy," You whispered, "You didn’t have to hide it."
His gaze softened, his hand still holding yours with a gentle yet firm grip. "I thought you might not feel the same," He said, his voice low, hesitant. "I didn’t want to make things harder for you."
You smiled weakly, your thumb brushing over the back of his hand as you gave him a reassuring squeeze. "I was too scared to admit it," You confessed, your voice barely more than a whisper. "But... I’ve been falling for you, too. I just didn’t know how to say it."
He froze, his eyes wide with disbelief, and for a second, everything seemed to stop as he processed your words.
Then, his face lit up with the most genuine, joyful smile you had ever seen.
"Mon cher," He said, his voice filled with awe. He leaned in close, his forehead touching yours as he whispered, "You have no idea how happy you just made me."
And before you could say another word, Remy leaned in and pressed his lips softly against yours.
It was gentle, you melted into it. It was the kiss you both needed - the kind that spoke volumes, full of love, relief, and the promise of a future together.
In the beginning, your relationship with Remy was filled with gentle teasing, playful exchanges, and deep conversations that went long into the night.
He'd often surprise you by leaving little notes in your things or pulling you into spontaneous kisses that made your heart race.
Remy loved showing you affection in large, but also small, subtle ways.
He'd walk beside you and slip his hand into yours as you walked through the mansion halls, just enough to remind you he was there.
He'd also show up with surprise gifts - a sketchbook for your art, a rare flower, or a horse-themed charm necklace.
Remy, knowing how much your horses mean to you, would occasionally join and sit on a hay bale as you brushed your horses.
He'd even let you teach him how to ride a horse.
During the soft and quiet nights, he loved surprising you with spontaneous outings, taking you on drives to the city, or evening art shows, or to a local diner at three in the morning for a shake.
On rainy days, you'd snuggle up together in front of the fire - or TV playing a video of a fire - and he'd play the guitar softly, serenading you with his sweet melodies.
He may even make something up for you.
You and Remy would have your own little rituals, like cooking dinner together.
While he was undoubtedly good at cooking, he loved watching you experiment with recipes.
Sometimes you'd end up making a mess, but the tow of you would laugh and clean it up together.
When you had a partially bad day, Remy would set up a cozy little space for you to unwind. Either with him or alone. He doesn't mind.
He'd light candles, put on some soft music, and hand you a cup of your favorite drink.
He would often surprise you - lots of surprises here from this guy, he's a giver - he would surprise you by joining you in your love of art.
And once in a while, he'd sketch something for you, like a really good drawing of you riding a horse.
For some reason, he is really good at drawing.
Remy would always have you back, that is a given.
No matter what, he is there for you.
If you are feeling insecure in any way, he'd lift your spirits with his gentle words and warm gestures.
If you were ever in danger or stressed out, he'd do anything to make sure you were safe, even if it meant putting himself in harm's way.
His devotion to you was unwavering.
He’d also do his best to help with your artwork, offering to model for you or assist with anything you needed.
Whether it was finding a place for you to sketch or supporting your writing, he’d encourage you to follow your dreams, always by your side.
(He'd love to be your muse, paint him like one of your Cajun girls.)
You always make sure Remy knows that you appreciate him, from picking up little things that might have been forgotten to offering words of affirmation.
You'd take care of his emotional needs as he took care of yours, giving him a safe place to be vulnerable.
When it came to his pat, you wouldn't pressure him to open up, but you'd always be there when he needed someone to talk to.
You'd remind him, day after day, that he was worthy of love and happiness, and that his past doesn't define him.
