Bob Floyd fic intro blurb???? IDK it's a work in progress
this is so self indulgent oh my actual god (I'm an optician and we get a lot of military personnel because we're right next to a base lolllllllllllll god dammit)
Thinking about Bob, poor blind little Bob, can't see a thing without his glasses, Bob; basically a Naval Aviator version of Velma Dinkley, Bob.
more below the cut lol
Thinking about how he definitely spends a lot of time at the on-base optometrist, making sure that he can see for flights, and also spends lot of time getting the opticians to adjust his frames just right.
Thinking about how he always finds the time to flirt very respectfully and a little bit awkwardly with the optician that conveniently is always there whenever he happens to have time to go in.
Thinking about how he'd stutter over his words when she laughed at a particularly awful joke that he made. Four Eyes, "I see says the Blind Man", "I don't need glasses to see that you're pretty", etc.
He SHAMELESSLY flirts with her. His own secret crush. And since she's in customer service, she laughs along, at first. Giggles at his words, adjusting his frames for him that he SWEARS feel like they're crooked they're not crooked, they don't feel crooked, he just wants to see her.
He knows that he's in trouble when he starts to get jitters when he pulls into the parking lot. Like maybe this is going from a small crush that he flirts with, to something a whole lot deeper.
and she gets flustered when the door dings open and he's standing there, face flushed from the heat outside, already pulling off his glasses and walking towards her, trying to come up with some reason why he's here, again.
She plays it cool, but when she hands him his receipt for his new nosepads that he definitely didn't need, they were brand new, but he was flying by the seat of his pants and had to come up with something, he sees that she's written him a note, and her number.
He gets into his truck yes he drives a truck get out of my face and quickly saves her number and his heart is pounding in his chest
He gets back to the hangar after his very important errands and he's still blushing, causing everyone to tease him about his precious crush from the opticians office
ANYWAYS I will be writing this fic (: okay okay thank you THANK YOU VERY MUCH I'll work on it and get it posted as quick as I can
Hello, sweet babies! I've been busy and MIA, but I am back!
I'm flying home from my whirlwind trip today, so I'm sitting in my flight terminal waiting to board (1.5 hours to go!) I've had SO MUCH inspo this trip, so I'll have lots of new content for you so soon!
I've been thinking a lot (about several things!!) this week, and I have so many ideas floating around in my head.
As I type this in the airport terminal I can feel eyeballs on me, watching me type into the Tumblr text box, lol, so I'm feeling a bit awkward.
I'm going to write the rest of this as if I'm talking to one of my friends, maybe that'll feel slightly less awkward? Doubtful. An attempt can be made.
I have several song-based stories bouncing around in my head. Maybe I'll post a list for people to request from? It might be fun! Pleaseeee let me know if you are interested in any of that!
Probably gonna mess around and make myself a west-coast/pnw girlie, after this week, though. STUNNING.
Also, airport pricing is criminal... why did I just pay $20 for a breakfast sandwich and a coffee??? It is 6am... Please, have mercy on me.
ANYWAY. I will be working on the Bob x Optician!Reader fic on my FOUR HOUR flight. who cares if people see me writing fanfiction, they will literally never see me again.
Okay, babies. After posting the intro blurb for Before It's Over, I wanted to gauge some reactions.
if you haven't read it yet, you can find it here.
I'm debating posting part 1 this weekend, but I'm also debating posting it later, like maybe mid-week next week?
I've been working SO HARD on Spaces that I think I need to take a break from Bucky (as much as I truly would rather not) and work on this Bob fic. That way I can (maybe) keep myself from going overboard with Spaced and making it too long and ridiculous.
I had originally planned for 4 - 5 parts, and now it'll probably end up being 6 at least. I keep deleting everything new and restarting with it all, and it's starting to make me a little bit crazy, lol.
ANYWAY.
PLEASE COMMENT if you would like me to post Part One of Before It's Over it this weekend versus next week, sometime. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.
I know I said I was going to sleep after posting part 1 of spaces last night (and I did, technically) BUT INSTEAD OF SLEEPING I wrote the most angsty Bob Floyd x reader one shot I’ve ever written and it’s just sitting in my google drive staring at me like O.o
I reread it this morning after waking up and like … broke my own heart a little bit ?
ANYWAYS let me know if you want me to post it. I’m getting ready to leave my house and then I’m heading on a 6 hour drive so I may not get it posted until tonight/tomorrow… I’ll bring my laptop with me so that I have it with me.
