Pairing: Jake “Hangman” Seresin x Fem!Reader
the daggers are almost constantly yelling at one or both of you to STOP DOING THAT (“that” referring to most of your pda because you guys do that weird shit)
started as a joke but bro….. i don’t think it’s a joke anymore
(un)ironic baby talk
(“is that my smoochie woochie poo?” “i missed you, giggle wiggle bear!” “look at that smile, my little cupcake angel!” “come here, cutie patootie, baby saved a spot for you in his lap!” “how thoughtful, my sweet puppy wuppy!” “anything for you, darling snookums!”)
(choose your character, probably bob: “OH GOD PLEASE MAKE IT FUCKING STOP!!!!”)
sharing chewing gum
wiping things off each others faces (smears of sauce on your chin, mascara under your eyes, a bit of chocolate at the corner of your mouth)
going to the bathroom together
cleaning off the chip dust from each others fingers via mouth
watching you perfect your lipgloss application just to press his slobbery mouth to yours and make you squeal
swapping sunglasses
finishing each others sentences
also the weirdest little compliments that you two have gotten way too comfortable saying out loud
“baby, that ass is propaganda”
“lemme take a ride on that big green tractor”
“you look like you could treat me like a mechanical bull”
“i like that shade of lipstick. might look better on my—”
truly inside thoughts
but also just sweet stuff like lingering kisses and clutched hands and staring into each others eyes (makes everyone else gag. you don't care.)
maverick threatens to send one of you away but you all know he won’t (even he thinks it's nice on occasion)
the daggers spotting your hickeys in the most absurd places
how did you even get one behind his knee? who gives hickeys on the shoulder? too many questions, not enough patience
you are the most frequent word in jake’s mouth
you could be standing not a foot away from him, and he’s already yapping about that funny thing you said earlier (they were all there when you said it)
he will sneak out whenever he gets the chance just to steal you away and drag you to the nearest movie theater
the next day you walk into the mess hall hand-in-hand and looking utterly exhausted
coyote teasingly asks, “so what did the happy couple do last night?”
and you both grumble, “sonic 3”
making him dress up as some insane shit like the party rock album cover (he is obviously the girl with sorry for party rocking written on his abs)
you are nothing if not his worst objectifier and biggest fan
having chivalry contests to see who can beat who to opening any and every door first or who can do the other more favors like clearing your plates or holding your purse or untying his boots at the end of the day
^^^most of this becomes habitual anyway so the contests die out after a couple tries, but it was fun while it lasted!
knowing each others coffee orders like clockwork but still swapping drinks every time (he doesn’t even like that sugary shit!!!…… but since you’re offering)
you convince him to meditate with you
payback and fanboy walk in on you sitting criss-cross in jake’s also criss-crossed lap, both of you dead silent with your eyes closed
sharing EVERYTHING!!! food, jewelry, chapstick, clothes (and yes, he has stretched out almost every single one of your shirts)
he even tries on your bras sometimes to make you laugh
he starts to think he might actually need one of those super supportive ones…
having a playlist that consists of classic rock like “slow ride” and also nickelodeon hits like “freak the freak out” and “goofy goober rock”
using your time off to hire a professional photographer to take a maternity photo shoot where jake wears various babydoll dresses while you stand behind him, gripping his pecs
becoming a disney couple 😭😭😭
he collects pins around the park until he has about four lanyards full and you demand to take pictures with all the characters wandering around until he caves and buys you an autograph book
going to a karaoke bar with the daggers and being the worst singers with the best vibes
absolutely dominating “islands in the stream” (neither of you were on pitch once)
but of course everyone cheers because he’s weirdly excellent at crowd work
nobody expected jake to come out of his shell so swiftly and so easily, but they think it’s mostly cause of you
he’ll be gross and weird and loud as hell so long as you’re always right there with him, being gross and weird and holding his hand
Jake Seresin x girlfriend reader - nickname, ‘Poppy’
Warnings? FLUFFFFFFF
Summary: After coming home early from deployment overseas, Jake is happy to come home to Texas to surprise his favorite girl as they celebrate his mommas birthday
Jake Seresin had just gone back from overseas after a successful mission, but, the thing was that he had arrived on land much earlier than scheduled. They were planning to be home until two weeks later.
So with that said, he figured that he’d give his family and girlfriend, Poppy, a good surprise. All his wing buddies agreed to drive him to the airport, and the whole way there they teased him about being a softie when it came to talking about his girlfriend, the green in his eyes shone so brightly and his cheeks gave off a light pink shade of color, he looked and acted like a crushing high school boy. From seeing this look on Jake, Bradley and Natasha concluded that he was head over heels for his girl. Javy and Reuben tried to mimic Poppy’s voice to tease Jake and call him pet names. Bob and Mickey just laughed and went along, they were too shy to emerge, but had fun either way. But Jake laughed the most and was all happy smiles, because it was true, Jake was deeply in love with his sweet girl Poppy. He met her while she was taking a trip in San Diego, and she had stopped by to say ‘Hi’ to Penny who was a best friend but also her babysitter from when she was a little girl. But what was supposed to be a short ‘Hi and Bye’ soon led to her staying the whole afternoon till evening as she chatted happily while catching up, but that’s when her eyes landed on the tall blond man who had walked in with a fitted black t-shirt and some aviators hanging low on his nose, then her ears fell for his sweet and flirtatious words as he kindly and respectfully greeted everyone around him, including her. Poppy had tried to play off her interest in him for most of the night, but the minute Jake asked for her number, she didn’t even hesitate to say yes. But she was quick to explain that she was only in San Diego for short time, but that’s when Jake asked where she came from, and in that moment he knew that he’d have for for a long time. Poppy explained to him that she came from Houston, Texas to be exact. Jake immediately told her that he was born and raised there too, and that maybe there they could get to know each other more, and see where they went with that. Which soon turned out to be 3 years in a wonderful relationship, Jake loved his girl, she was loyal and caring, always waited for Jake to come back, sent gifts and necessities overseas to him and his fellow sailors, even spent lots of time with his family to stay close and get to know them more too. Poppy had a masters in child development, and worked as a teacher for adorable preschoolers. All this he shared about her to his friends, and was grateful to see how happy they were for him. But Jake was more excited to know that soon he’d be able to see her again, as he said his goodbyes to his fellow aviators, and received loud smooches on his cheeks by Natasha and Javy who couldn’t stop the teasing. Jake promised them that soon they could all meet up and he’d introduce Poppy to them, and that only made his wing buddies all more mushy and playful with Jake, but deep down they actually were more than anything happy for him. When they first got to know him, Jake was the kind of guy that only did one-night-stands and didn’t know how to commit to relationships. But they also witnessed the day that changed, which was the night he laid eyes on Poppy at Hard Deck, while she twirled and danced to Bradley playing the piano with happy tunes and helped serve everyone to ease some work off of Penny’s shoulders that very night.
Taking the plane was the fastest way to get home, but Jake still felt like it took forever to get there, what in reality was like maybe 2 and a half hours, Jake felt like he had been in the damn plane allllll day. But finally once he arrived at the airport in Houston, he changed his uniform khakis into his favorite button down orange shirt and Levi jeans along with his cowboy boots. As much as Jake loved to be seen in his Naval apparel, he loved his cowboy apparel more, it made him feel at ease and at home, knowing that not anytime soon he’d be called back, for now he could forget it. Jake had left his favorite cowboy hat home with his girl, so she could take care of it while he was gone he had told her, and knowing how careful and protective Poppy was with all his stuff, he was sure she did. Once he was changed and refreshed, Jake took a cab to go to his girls house, his initial plan was to surprise her there first before going to his family’s house. So in between telling his driver the ‘Can you go a little faster?’ - ‘the light was yellow you could’ve gone’ and trying to be nice at the same time was kind of a hard deal for Jake when he desperately wanted to get home. Much to his surprise though when he finally got home, was that his old red Chevy truck sat in the drive way just fine, but Poppy’s black ‘67 Mustang wasn’t there. He got off the cab after paying the driver well, and went straight to the door and found the key under the mat where his girl had left there for him, which in that mere moment it sent him warm butterflies in his chest, to know that she had kept that there for him, letting him know that he was always welcome, whenever. When he walked in her house, an aroma waving a scent of fresh flowers and its sweet nectar hit his nose, along with her natural body’s scent, which was so addictive to Jake. But he also caught a whiff of what smelled like carrot cake? He knew his girl loved to bake, but was disappointed when he didn’t find the source of the smell. Though He straightaway went to the fridge where he knew she’d have her to-do list hanging on it, which would tell him what her plans were for today. And he was right when he read on the paper in her lovely handwriting,
‘To-do list for today:
By Momma Seresin some flowers.
By her birthday present.
Bake the cake.
Leave at 5:00 to help decorate at the Seresin Ranch at 5:30’
Jake checked the large white clock that hung on the wall near by and it read, ‘5:10’
He smacked his forehead slightly as he thought,
‘Damn it I just missed her!! It’s my moms birthday! Shoot I didn’t forget... but I did.. ok ok, let’s just go and surprise them there! Now where are my keyssss... oh there they are!!’
On the key rack Jake found his truck keys, with a new, small charm on it, the Texas Longhorn symbol dangled from the chain, he realized that his girl must of gotten it for him while he was gone, knowing that he was a HUGE fan and had wanted one sense he saw it at the local gas station. It made his heart swell for the sweet things she did for him, it showed him that she really cared and remembered the little things about him.
After hopping into his truck and relishing in its familiarity it for a few minutes, he turned it on and grew a huge smile when the motor roared to life, showing him that though it was old, it still worked like magic. While driving down the familiar streets of Houston, he drummed his steering wheel to his favorite tunes that played on repeat, which was unknown to everyone except his girl, was actually Taylor Swift’s album ‘Red’. He was currently jamming to ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ as he finally found the dirt road that led him to the Seresin Ranch. He as always liked to roll down his windows so he could coo and call out to every cow and goat he passed, it was a habit no one could pull him out of, but he enjoyed it greatly when they replied back to him in their animalistic language. He could feel the breeze that grazed and brushed against his skin as he continued down the road, he let his hand hang out the window as his fingers drummed against the door. The sun let out its golden shade, and painted the sky beautifully above him, which the clouds danced in every color as they began turning into different ones as the seconds passed. Soon the Ranches Red Barn came into view, and he found several familiar cars parked in the grassy driveway, one which was his girls Black Mustang. He parked his truck in front of the open barn yard, which showed the lights and tables that were set up, he liked how it looked so homey and beautiful. Turning off his truck he looked around and saw a ladder that stood in the middle of the open place, right under what looked like a large lamp filled with dangling lights in mason jars. He thought that maybe it was his pops that was doing the job, but he was so wrong when he saw the woman of his dreams skipping into sight with a box of lightbulbs in her hands. She wore a gorgeous, white sun dress with her tall brown cowgirl boots that Jake had bought her for her birthday. Her hair was curled and bounced loosely, and set on top of her head, was Jake’s favorite cowboy hat. Taking in such a sight for his sore eyes, just about made Jake drool onto the steering wheel he leaned on while watching. He smiled to himself when he heard her singing with a sweet melody, he couldn’t quite catch the words, but it sounded like ‘Shake It Off’, another Taylor Swift hit that Jake had fallen for because of his girl. She twirled and danced, moving her hips softly, like if she was imagining that she was dancing with her loved one.
As much as Jake could stay there for hours watching her be herself, in the freedom and fresh air of the Seresin Ranch, his anxious heart couldn’t wait to be in her arms any second longer. Opening his door and closing it softly so he wouldn’t be heard just yet, Jake then fixed his shirt and his hair, making sure he looked fixed and smelled good, then checked his pants and boots, once satisfied he finally agreed to himself that he was ready to be seen by his girl. Though he knew that she didn’t care how he looked or smelled, it could be him wearing his flight suit while smelling like sweat and jet fuel, or like the cows when they spent the summer with his family at the Ranch, she always hugged him tightly and kissed his chest over his heart then his lips. While walking closer he realized she was singing a different song, as she still danced slowly, he caught her words as she went on sweetly,
“Say you remember me.. standing in a nice dress staring at the sunset babe... red lips and rosy cheeks.. say you’ll see me a-gain even if it’s in your-“
“wiiiiildest dreams..-“
“OH MY GOD!!”
Jakes intentions were to collaborate with Poppy and go on singing, but he actually startled her which made her gasp and drop the whole box of lightbulbs as she held her chest to hold her heart from jumping out from fear. Her and Jake quickly reacted to pick up the bulbs and kinda forgot about the realization of seeing each other again as they chucked and apologized,
“I’m sorry I scared you-“
“No no it’s ok, I didn’t realize you had arrived- woah wait-“
She then stopped mid sentence as she took in Jakes presence, then squealed when she fully realized that he was actually there,
“JAKE!!”
Poppy unexpectedly threw herself in Jakes arms to which he let out an ‘omff!’ while almost hitting the ground. But quickly he composed himself and held onto her tightly as he stood up and held her feet above ground. She squeezed her arms around his neck as she pressed a ton of kisses on his head, Jake kissed her head too as he smelled her citrus scented hair, and relished in it, happy to know that she was actually and finally in his arms. He then heard her voice say with a sniff,
“Welcome home honey.. I really missed you.. and didn’t think you’d be here today.”
Jake squeezed her hips as he cooed,
“Awe sweetheart.. I’m right here.. don’t cry ok? I’m not going anywhere for a long time.”
“Please don’t... I miss you all the time.”
“So do I baby girl.”
He then gently put her down and detached his hands from her hips so he could delicately hold her face, he kissed her nose before saying,
“You look so pretty in my hat.. let’s all the guys know that I’m yours.”
Shyly giggling Poppy touched the charm on the hat that had Jakes first and last name imprinted. Jake then grabbed her hand and kissed her fingers as she asked him,
“You came home early?”
Nodding proudly he replied,
“I did.. our mission was a complete success and done ahead of schedule.. so that earned us plenty of time off.”
Her eyes glistened with excitement as she asked,
“How long?”
With a million dollar smile Jake cheered,
“4 whole months!”
Gasping with glee she jumped in Jake’s arms again, to which he began to twirl her around as they laughed happily.
Later that evening, once everyone knew that Jake was home and welcomed him back gratefully, his momma then let the party begin. Roars of cheers and laughter could be hear everywhere, along with the younger nieces and nephews running around chasing after the lose chickens and baby goats that were desperate for them to go home and leave them be, (except when they were fed off the table by the little kids of course.) After eating a hearty steak that Jake’s pops and older brother grilled, the tasty macaroni and fruit salads his aunt put together, and lastly his girls special carrot cake with homemade vanilla ice cream, everyone was called to the dance floor after letting the food settle down. Country music began to fill in the atmosphere, as a couple of talented uncles and cousins played their favorite instruments. It was traditional that they danced all together for every celebration or party, so it wasn’t awkward when they all began to move in sync with the same dancing choreography as they took in the music like air to the lungs. Jake was quick to take his girls hand as they danced in their boots hand in hand, he lived off the smile she gave every second, and she lived off his laughter that was more than music to her ears. The jolly and upbeat music had everyone sweating and gasping for air once it came to an end, as they had been jumping, twirling, and moving the entire time. As the evening passed, it was time to settle down, so softer music began to play, a few went back to sit down, others chatted by the fruit and drink bars, while very few still swayed on the dance floor. Jake still wanted to dance in his girls arms, but he noticed how she kept moving her feet uncomfortably, so he asked her what was wrong in her ear wondering,
“What’s the matter baby girl?”
She looked up to him from under the hat as she said shyly,
“My boots are beginning to hurt my feet.. but I really want to dance to this last song with you.”
Jake understandingly took her hand and led her away, but before she could protest, he sat on a chair and sat her on his knee as he began to take off her boots. Poppy was afraid that she’d be judged for having Jake take off her boots like that in the open, but felt a rush of relief as she watched him rubbed her feet lovingly, then placed her boots under his chair so no one would step on them.
Poppy continued to worry about his caring choice of actions, but soon forgot about those thoughts when he stood her up and walked her back to the dance floor as he said instructively,
“Stand on my boots, baby.”
Looking for reassurance in his green eyes once again while trying to tilt her head back so she could see him properly from under the hat she asked,
“what?-“
“Stand on my boots honey. Come on.”
Sense his boots were kinda soft on the top, it wasn’t uncomfortable when she stood on them, her small feet actually fit quite perfectly on them. He then held her waist tightly as he said sweetly,
“Hold onto my neck so you don’t fall ok? I’m going to move slowly. I got you.”
When she did as he said, she immediately felt safe and sound in his arms, as they began to sway in complete sync. Laying her head on Jakes chest after placing her kiss on his heart, she felt him take a deep breath before saying,
“I’m so grateful for you... you’re always so faithful and sweet, and always helping my family when I’m not here. That means a lot to me you know that?”
Lifting her head up to him, caused him to chuckle when his hat fell on her eyes again, so he quickly said,
“Put the hat on my head baby, I’ll hold it for you.”
Taking the hat off she brushed his hair back before settling it on his head as she replied to him,
“Your family is my family Jake, no matter what. I’ll always be here, wait for you, support you, and love you. Ok?”
Jake tried to hold it in, but couldn’t help the fact that his eyes either way teared up. Her words meant more to him than anything else, as he remember where they started. Jake had met his girl in the worst time of her life, she had decided to leave her family after being treated and used so poorly, which was a hard decision for her to make, because she didn’t have anyone to fall back on. She had gone to Penny hoping she’d help. (which she did of course, Penny wasn’t one to leave anyone behind.) Poppy was like a desert flower that had been left alone, waiting to be given water, given love so she could flourish, and Jake was the one to do just that. He never plucked her out of her place, but instead made her surroundings more durable and safe, and planted himself next to her, so they could grow together. Penny was the only one at the time that gave her a safe place, but when they began their relationship, Jake was happy and quick to want to take Poppy under his wing, but he gave her the time to know him first and see that she could trust him. Which soon she did when they bought a little house in Fighter Town. But when Jake and her made the choice to make their relationship more serious, he knew she was afraid to meet his family, he had heard all her sad stories of how she was poorly treated by family, but he was confident to know that his family would never hurt or reject her, which was something she had to see to believe. So as time had passed and she got to know them more, Poppy began to always make plans to go be with them, and that’s when Jake saw that she finally trusted them and him fully, and he couldn’t be happier. Pressing a tender kiss to his lips she then wiped his eyes carefully as she confessed,
“I love you so so much.”
Lifting her up slightly off his boots so she could be at his eye level, Jake replied,
“I’m very proud of you.. and I love you so so much too.”
They pulled each other into a hug, and felt complete with one another, knowing that no matter how alone or dry the desert might be around them, as long as they had each other and loved, they’d be more than just fine, they’d be one another’s desert flowers.
Later that night, the warm summer breeze still filled the atmosphere, and by then everyone had retreated to their homes and comfy destinations, all except for Jake and his girl, who rested in the bed of his truck laying on thick white comforters while watching the stars above, which painted the sky beautifully. Poppy’s leg was thrown over Jake’s waist as she hugged him and laid her head on his chest, as Jake had his arm wrapped around her too, and he used the other hand to hold onto her thigh that was on his waist. He felt so much happier as he began to hear the soft snores coming from her pretty lips, it confirmed that no matter where they were, she trusted him to keep her safe in his arms, even in the put and opened, right beneath the stars that gave off a low light, that illuminated her skin. Jake then carefully moved his arm away from her thigh to pull the extra blanket on top of them, to keep them covered and comfortable, but Poppy either way woke up and lifted her head off his chest due to his shifting, but sent him a warm smile when she realized that he had covered them both. Tilting her head down to meet his lips with hers, they brushed together as she sighed happily,
“I’m so happy you’re my family Jake, you love and take care of me, and make me feel super safe.”
Lifting his head up slightly to press a firm kiss to Poppy’s lips, Jake replied,
“And I’m happy you trust me. And believe me Poppy, I’ll protect your life with mine at all costs, I’ll keep the birds and bugs away from my desert flower, and I’ll make sure she blooms and flourishes like no other. You stand out in a desert, you follow the sun no matter the season, you give life in a place others only thought could give nothing.”
Poppy’s tears landed on Jakes cheek then rolled down slowly as she took in his sweet words, it was rare when he said something so deep and meaningful, because he didn’t always know how to word out his passionate love for her. But she wiped his cheek gently with her fingers as she asked shyly,
“I’m your desert flower baby?”
Nodding while kissing her one last time before holding the back of her head to lay her down on his chest, Jake confidently said and promised,
“You’ll always be my desert flower, strong and beautiful, the only one. And I’ll forever make sure you stay planted on good land and grow. I’ll always keep you flourishing and safe.”
Squeezing his waist tightly Poppy awed,
“You’re so amazing... thank you.”
Keeping his hand on her head while the other held her tight Jake cooed,
“And you’re my wonderful baby... I love you.”
“I love you too, honey.”
Silence soon fell upon the two, as nature continued to treat them with its nice, warm breeze, settling in for them to have a nice, and peaceful night. Both in the comfort and safety of one another’s arms, they were lulled to sleep by the sound of one another’s heartbeats and soft sounds of nature that surrounded and embraced them lovingly.
Headcanons for what I think the characters would do for a first date, and how I think the first kiss would go. - Part One
Part Two (Fanboy, Bob, Coyote and Phoenix)
Pairings: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Reader; Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw x Reader; Pete "Maverick" Mitchell x Reader; and Tom "Iceman" Kazansky x Reader - All GN!Readers
Warnings: Kissing, if it wasn't obvious lol. Nothing else I can think of.
Jake "Hangman" Seresin:
First Date:
You would think Jake would be a classic romantic and go with a romantic candle lit dinner.
But actually, for your first date, you would have a nice, casual early dinner at a cute cafe at first.
The table was outside on cute deck, where you had a nice view of the beach. You'd spend the time sharing stories and talking about places you had traveled to and places you wanted to see.
Jake would hint that he had something else planned for later, but would not tell you what.
After you were done eating, the two of you walked along the beach, where he was purposefully leading you somewhere.
Surprise! Horse-riding along the beach at sunset!
If you had never ridden a horse, he helped you to mount and get comfortable with the reigns.
If you were already comfortable riding, he would bombard you with questions about how and why.
It was a slow and nice ride down the beach, the sunset casting red and oranges along the water.
The whole date would feel straight out of a romance novel.
He would often ride close beside you, and your legs would often brush lightly together (yes, this was on purpose)
When the sun was set, and the date was over, he would drive you home.
As much as he would love to kiss you after the first date, he did not. And instead settled for a kiss on the back of your hand.
First Kiss:
The first kiss came after the second date.
Which was now, the romantic candlelit dinner.
At the front door when he drops you off, you have a short conversation about how much you are enjoying your time together.
There is obvious tension between you, both of you feeling the same anticipation.
He is cocky and flirty, and slowly gets closer and closer to you the more he talks.
You are leaning against the doorway as he does this.
Finally, when he is only a couple inches away, his eyes flick down to your lips, and he slowly closes the space between you.
The first kiss is slow yet passionate, lasting about a minute, in which you had to break away to breath.
He would toy with the idea of inviting himself in, but would not. Instead promising you a third date soon, which would also trigger the beginning of your actual, long-lasting relationship.
-----
Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw:
First Date:
Bradley is not one for boring dinner dates.
So, he drives you out to a carnival/fair to spend the day having fun.
You cannot walk past a carnival game without trying it out.
Needless to say, by the end of the date you have way too many stuffed prizes.
You tried a variety of fair foods, and made bets with each other for who wins and who loses games. The losers had to eat the weirdest foods you could find. There were a lot of pickled and fried foods eaten that day.
He would try and drag you onto the scariest looking rides, and you would force him to ride the more mundane ones.
Seeing him riding the bright pink unicorn on the carousel was your favorite moment, and you definitely got a picture.
On the teacups, he purposefully spun the cups as fast as he could - no only to make you freak out and get dizzy, but mostly to make you cling on to him.
You spent the whole day laughing and having fun, and by the time the sun started to set, you were exhausted in the best possible way.
First Kiss:
As goofy and fun as he is, Bradley is a romantic, and he has always had a desire to kiss someone at the top of a Ferris Wheel.
So, the last thing the two of you did on your carnival date, was the Ferris Wheel.
He sat in the seat beside you, rather than across. He laid his arm across your shoulders, so you were close to him.
You knew about the romantic trope of a kiss at the top of the Ferris Wheel, and were anticipating whether of not it would happen, and hoping it definitley would.
When the Ferris Wheel stopped with you at the top, you admired the scene around you, all the while, Bradley's eyes were on you.
When you caught his gaze and he smiled, you felt butterflies erupt, sending a shiver through your whole body.
You knew he was going to kiss you.
When he did, he cupped your chin in his hands and leaned into you.
The kiss lasted until the Ferris Wheel started moving again.
When you broke apart, you were both smiling like idiots, foreheads still pressed together.
Bradley insisted on one more trip around on the Ferris Wheel, just so he could kiss you again.
-----
Pete "Maverick" Mitchell:
First Date:
For your first date with Pete, he would take you on a ride on his motorcycle, to a nice little restaurant out of town.
He had discovered it when he went on a ride, and knew you would like it.
It was a small place, very few people there, and all of them were nice, and complemented you on being a cute couple.
There was a jukebox in the corner, that he would queue up a bunch of songs on, many he knew you liked.
When you were done eating, he "forced" you to dance with him. Meaning he took your hand and lead you to the empty dance-floor, with a wide and enticing smile.
You danced to a couple of songs, talking and gazing into each others eyes the whole time.
When the sun began to set, you would leave the restaurant and drive to a nearby peak.
You sat on the edge, legs dangling over, the beach view below you paired with the sunset.
You didn't leave until the sun had disappeared. He gave you his jacket to wear during the drive back, knowing it would be a lot colder now that it was dark.
By the time you got home, it was late. He jokingly asked if you were going to invite him inside. You didn't, but he left with a quick kiss to your cheek.
First Kiss:
Your first kiss didn't happen on an official second date, but after you decided to meet up at the beach.
He told you about his day, his training, and how much he loved flying. You told him your goals, and all the places you wanted to see.
Eventually, your conversation become more playful and joking, even more so when you found an abandoned football.
You tossed it to each other a few times as you continued to talk and tease each other.
After you caught the ball, and you teased him for having a weak throw, he began to chase you.
Tackling you (softly) to the ground, you were left giggling, and he was watching you with an adoring smile.
When you locked eyes, lying in the sand, he would reach over and brush some sand off your face.
Then, quicker than you were expecting, he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to your lips.
When he broke away, he apologized, saying he just felt the overwhelming urge to kiss you.
You smiled and told him it was alright, you felt it too.
Pleased with this, he asked if he could kiss you again, to which you obviously said yes.
------
Tom "Iceman" Kazansky
First Date:
Your first date with Tom would be at his place, where he would cook you dinner himself.
He'd allow you to help, chopping, stirring, taste-testing, but he mainly cooked the dish himself. Wanting not only to impress you, but to "sweep you off your feet".
You bonded over favorite dishes and foods, also judging (in a playful way) each others likes and dislikes of certain cuisine.
There was a small food fight at one point, which only included the remnants of vegetables as you made the salad.
The whole date felt very domestic and soft, but you were already so comfortable with Tom that there was nothing awkward about it. You could only describe it as feeling "right".
The two of you are dinner out on his deck/balcony. Sitting together well after you were done eating, and the sun had set long before.
When it got late, and it was time for you to leave, you were both silently disappointed.
You left, giving him a kiss on the cheek. And he said goodbye with a promise of another date soon.
First Kiss:
The first kiss between you and Tom did happen during your second date.
This time, you went out to eat at a fun restaurant/bar, where there was singing and dancing.
You spent a lot of time laughing and talking, eating, and playing bar games.
Later in the night, the crowd died down and the loud music turned into softer more romantic music.
You and Tom danced together for a while, heads gently touching as you swayed, eyes closed.
After a few songs, he pulled you closer and told you how much he loved being around you.
He would try to keep his eyes from flicking to your lips, but failed miserably when you noticed he did it every few seconds.
Eventually the tension was too much, and you had a moment when your eyes met, and you knew you both wanted to kiss.
He would inch slower closer, his lips brushing yours gently, before he initiated the full kiss.
It was slow and passionate, and he brought both his hands to your face as he deepened the kiss.
You were both too caught up in each other to remember you were in public.
When the song ended, you two left the dance floor and the bar, hand in hand, and happier than ever.
xx End xx
Hope you enjoyed! I already have the second part with the other characters outlined, so it should be out soon! (It will be linked at the top when it is posted)

thinking about these and thinking about the beach scene. firstly because he looks fucking incredible and so delicious, but secondly, i can’t help but think about lying on his chest or being curled up into his side later that evening on the beach.
when you all play dog fight football and you watch from the side, you watch jake run around and tackle people to the ground, screaming and yelling with all the testosterone he can muster. but you know a far softer side to jake. one that after they’re finished playing, he’ll come running up to you and swoop you up into his strong arms and seek your approval like a little kid.
“did you see me out there baby? wasn’t i amazing?” he asks with his infamous grin and sunglasses sliding down his nose. when the high fades from dog fighting, he’s placing you back down on the ground and dotting all over you. “you okay? you need some more water? sunscreen? let me put some on you anyway. have you eaten? let’s go get something.”
he loves you and he truly cares about you and he’s not afraid to show it off or get all sappy on you, the rest of the team be damned.
in the evening you’re pressed up into his chest wearing one of his old button up shirts, while you all sit around the fire and continue drinking your beers and laughing about dumb manoeuvres everyone’s pulled. you’re mindlessly playing with his class ring and feeling the deep rumble of his chest when he laughs at something javy said.
every so often he leans down to your ear and asks you softly, “you okay?” giving your hand and hip a reassuring squeeze. if it gets really cold, you’re wearing his hoodie that smells just like him. you’re already wrapped up in his arms, but you just feel so safe, so protected. like nothing could hurt you or will ever hurt you again.
SEB. AHHH. Just dropping this one like this in the night?? I can’t stop looking
Of course you go watch him and his friends play dogfight football. Of course you offer to rub in his sunscreen. Watching him drip sweat and exude testosterone from a towel in the beach with a cold drink is the perfect afternoon activity. When they call it quits he jogs towards you with a big smirk on his lips as you stand up and he sees you in your swimsuit. Next thing you know he’s picking you and spinning you around. The both of you laughing.
“Did you see me out there baby?” Of course you did! How could you not stare at your attractive boyfriend running on the beach. Chest on display. But his self centered ness and need of approval from you stops there and. He shifts his entire attention on you. “You look so good in this suit baby. Mm your sunscreen smells so good. Roosters havin a bonfire tonight if your up to going”
Your plopped in his lap. Leaning against his chest as his arm is around you. Phoenix has already snapped some photos of him snuggling up to you. He’s just so in love with you and it really shows. The team welcomes the softer image of Jake that you bring out. He absolutely adores you and loves seeing you I. His button ups or sweaters looking all cozy and soft. Your touch comforts him and he’s gonna hold you close until you don’t want him to anymore. He just wants to make sure you feel safe and comfortable around his friends and teammates. He knows he can be a lot sometimes but you bring the best version of himself out, even in the still intimate moments.
Tu maan meri jaan; a string of headcannons (Teaser)
There is a severe lack of desi!reader fics on this app, so @birdy-bat-writes and I have decided to feed you guys with some Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin and his South Asian Mrs. Seresin…So, without further ado, may we present; a tease...
I completely melt at the thought of Jake getting married to a South Asian bride and they make the wedding half Western and half South Asian.
Him seeing you in the wedding lehenga for the first time and just forgetting how to speak
“Main aur kisi ke bare main kaise soch sakta hoon jab meri duniya mere samne hai?” how can I think about someone else when my whole world is in front of me?
The aunties probably have something to say about how he’s just completely all over you, but you two don’t even care. You’re already too far gone into the bliss of your wedding preparations and traditions that nothing seems to affect your mood.
He will not stop referring to you as Mrs. Seresin for ages...
and many more coming soon...
Tags; tagging some of my favourite desi blogs, moots and people who just want to be included in a jake x reader:
Jake Seresin listens to Tanner Adell’s music. He’s got every song memorized and he gets real sassy about them lyrics too. Full hand gestures, facial expressions, and little dance moves in the drivers seat of his truck. I don’t make the rules.
P.S. Buckle Bunny is his favorite. Tall Grass is his song for Bradley.
