Pairing; Flashy flash x reader
side note; My brain does not shut up save me please save me from my suffering. Also I should make this a series, no?
long
not proofread cuz its 2:40 am
I can only think of 2 types of people he’d fall for: someone who is strong, close to his strength or even stronger, or a normal civilian who completely gives 0 shits about him.
Because the other scenario is funnier, I’m gonna do that one. But if you want the first scenario too, just lmk 😋
Your first encounter with this guy was when you were heading home late, after an exhausting, long shift. You had a taser on you, if you live in a world full of Monsters and chaos you’ll have to learn to protect yourself, no?
also, you just so happened to always attract monsters where ever you go.
Unfortunately for you, however, the monster that you encountered that day was immune to the electrical voltage of your stun gun.
When you had jammed your taser into its body, and it gave no reaction, you attempted to run but the feind yanked you by your arm, and started taunting you.
but before anything else could happen, a small gust of wind wizzed past you, and the monster was left in clean-cut pieces on the ground. It took you a moment to process what just happened before flashy flash suddenly appeared, standing over the orge’s dismantled being.
first thing you did when your mind gears started shifting again was glance down at your body, and make sure all your limbs and belongings were intact. All while flashy flash stood, rather awkwardly, before you. Probably waiting for some kind of reaction.
When you finally felt his intense gaze, you offered him a flat ‘thank you’.
then started walking away.
he was taken aback by your reaction.
He stopped you from leaving, and started almost lecturing you about walking alone at such a late hour. You just stared at him, trying to hide your annoyance. You just wanted to get home.
When you still gave him a monotoned response he said. “I’m flashy flash...”
You stared at him with unamusement.
”…the S-class hero.”
”oh, that’s nice…?” -You
”you do know who I am, no??” -flash
”ahaha,, oh yeah! Definitely!” You, obviously lying.
His ego was wounded.
How could you have not heard of him before? Him! The fastest hero alive!
there was definitely something wrong with you, no normal person would react the way you did. So he decided he needed to get to the bottom of this.
He starts following you around. And takes note of everything you do.
there isn’t much to you, though.
He concludes that: You’re just average, and overworked. And you look quite nice too, your outfit choices are perfect. They really compliment you. Also the way you handle yourself is rather refreshing, not to mention your resilience and…
But also, you attract trouble a lot. And since he’s always following you, he ends up taking care of a few himself, but he does like to watch you take down the monsters yourself too, he enjoys seeing how you catch them off guard with your taser, and how you rarely ever look the slightest bit shaken before them, no matter how grotesque they look.
After 5 times of him saving you from yet another problem, you start to grow suspicious and confront him… he plays it off well, and starts to pursue a small conversation with you….
then finds out you don’t even remember his name.
”what are you talking about, I definitely know your name… uh, flashy dash, right?” -you.
Yeah, he needed to stop being around you for the sake of his own mental health.
To help himself cope with your nonchalant attitude and the fact you didn’t even bother looking him up once after the countless times he saved you. He just stops stalking you.
I mean, why would he? He already crossed out any suspicions he had of you.
When he stopped, though, he started missing you??
he didn’t even understand what he was feeling. I mean, yeah, sure, your face was nice, and I guess you were a little cool. You’re strong in a way he didn’t even know someone could be. And I guess you’re a pleasant person. And he likes your hobbies, and what you do, and watching you do it. Maybe. But so what??
He starts growing irritable. You’re always consuming his mind.
It must be because he was around you for so long, his brain is simply not used to the switch of routine. Yes! That’s definitely it!
A month passes. With him going out of his way to avoid even the mere sight of you.
AND HIS EMOTIONS ARE GETTING WORSE!
worse as in stronger, more roudy, and more overbearing.
He starts to resent you in a way, and he feels frustrated with himself.
How could he be so allured by someone so incredibly normal, someone who doesn’t even remember his name, while he knows every single detail about them!?
When the feelings get too intense, to the point they’re interfering with his hero work. He decides to go and confront you.
Maybe if he speaks with you, he could find something to hate about you. Something he doesn’t like about your personality, or about your face, just anything that could trick his mind into being revolted by you.
”oh, hey flashy flash.” -You
His heart leaps. His breathing stops for a moment and his mind goes blank.
you remembered his name, you greeted him first!
He sucked in a deep breath and masked the ghostly joy on his features.
He was going to insult you, or make a backhanded comment, just anything to tick you off and make you feel the slightest bit frustrated, like he’s been frustrated for the past month.
But when his lips parted to spew out the harsh sentences he had been practicing in his head on the way here… nothing would come out.
He couldn’t do it. Not with the way your gorgeous hues were peering at him with genuine curiosity.
He just asked about your day instead. His voice was low and a bit awkward, but his face was firm with his usual stern expression.
He tried to ignore the racing beat of his heart when you smiled at him, or when you asked about his day, or cracked a light-hearted joke every now and then
He tried to calm his breathing through his nose, but he didn’t think he could keep his composure for long.
He quickly wraps up the discussion, and felt his heart ache slightly when you didn’t seem the slightest bit bothered by his urgency to leave.
Either way. He couldn’t stop thinking about that interaction. His mind kept wondering back to the way you looked at him, to the gravitating way your lips moved, to your words, to your voice-
He definitely couldn’t avoid you after this. Maybe he’ll just enjoy having these feelings for you, for a little bit…
He starts going up to you more often. A lot of the times when your heading back from work, and there aren’t much people on the streets.
You question his intentions, and he simply states that you attract too many monsters, and it’s his job to take care of them. You didn’t really buy it but didn’t bother probing much.
He was wrong about something. You weren’t normal. You didn’t care about what other people thought. You carried yourself so definitely from everyone else. You knew what to prioritize.
You didn’t treat him like a hero. You treated him more like a good friend. He didn’t know how good that felt until you had entered his life. (actually he’s the one that entered your life but anyhow)
and you were simply enchanting.
Still, he didn’t like that you barely knew anything about his very flashy, and amazing, career and talent.
How he confesses… One day, on your usual walk with flashy flash after work, you ask him about his hero work. He gets slightly excited at that and straightens his back a little.
He tries to keep everything he says low-key, like “Yeah, I do this and that. I mostly work alone. i neutralize the enemy quickly. I’m very busy mhm.”
You just nod attentively and continue to ask more questions, and to say that he was elated would be an understatement.
It was when you ask. “What rank are you in again? B, right? Or A?” (you forgot S class even existed) that everything goes south.
He stops walking and tries to hide the disheveled look on his face.
He hated the constriction in his chest.
He was an S-class hero, one of the strongest, the fastest. Defeated the most viscous monsters to walk this earth
And, yet he was still another hero name, still another rank you could barely remember.
How weak does he seem to you?
”S-class.” He muttered, his voice cooler than it had been before.
”oh? What does that stand for, special-class?” You let out an awkward chuckle, trying to lighten the mood.
“I have to go.”
You’re about to protest and ask him what’s wrong, but he’s already gone in a blink.
He couldn’t stand it anymore. You, a weak civilian, looking down on him?? You didn’t deserve him. (or at least that’s what he was telling himself)
Even though he couldn’t deny the yearning in his heart, he started avoiding you like the plague. Going out of his way to patrol areas that he knew you had no way of being in.
a few days after the incident, when flashy flash is no where to be found, you knew you had done something to hurt him, and that he was avoiding you.
So you start looking for him,
it takes you weeks to finally catch him.
you’re at a minor incident site and wait patiently behind a wall, hiding away from the monsters, for flashy flash to hopefully appear.
And appear he does.
your face lights up at the sight of him, and after he takes care of the few weak monsters, you rush iut of your hiding spot and yell out for him, grasping his arm so he couldn’t leave.
He doesn’t look at you and stays quiet, trying to contain the turmoil in his mind.
You start apologizing for everything wrong you think you could’ve done. And admit that you missed him.
He’s a bit taken aback by this, his eyes visibly widening at the confession.
He explains how he was hurt by the fact that you didn’t acknowledge his strength or rank. He didn’t mean for his thought to spill like that.
You two have a bit of an awkward back and forth, and when silence settles between you two, that’s when he confesses.
His words are elegant and romantic, even if his voice is a bit strained, and his features are slightly distressed, it still doesn’t fail to leave you awe-stricken. (Shhwhahhawgwahahah)
He’s not surprised when you reciprocate his feelings. (cuz his ego is still high asf)
How he is in a relationship,,,
He’s a very busy man, so he doesn’t spend much time with you, but when he does, he makes sure to shower you with compliments and love. He’s very skilled when it comes to verbal affection and doesn’t shy away from showing off his talent.
Speaking of showing off, he always tries to show off to you. If youre watching him fight, he’ll use unnecessary, extra-flashy moves, and glances at you every once in awhile to make sure you’re watching.
When you’re on a date, he makes sure there are zero distractions for him, and rarely ever has to excuse himself because of his hero duties. He wants everything he does for you to be perfect.
his love language is gift giving and quality time.
he SHOWERS you with expensive gifts, and anything you want. If your eye lingers on something, he’s already at the checkout with every colour option of that thing.
He has the money, so of course he’ll spoil you rotten.
Your outings too are also very lavish.
Even though he does spend a lot of time fighting monsters and saving the city, he values the time he spends with you more than anything. He doesn’t care what you are doing as long as you’re beside him.
Honestly, I don’t see him being big on physical touch, he loves it from you though. Adores it when you lovingly caress his face, embrace him or nuzzle closer to him.
PDA is a no-no, BUT, if he gets jealous of someone who is getting a little too close to you. His hands are magnets and you’re the metal. He’s pulling you close by your hips, pressing you close to his chest as he makes passive-aggressive remarks or simply glares at the individual he’s jealous of. (How cliche)
When he’s having a bad day, he’ll collapse into your arms and asks you to massage his scalp while he complains about it, his arms wrapped around your waist.
His kisses are very passionate and lingering. He’ll often have his hands softly holding the side of your face while the other cradles the back of your head. He loves planting kisses all over you.
