warnings: fluff, no y/n used, Logan doesn't really know how to use words,
summary: [inspired by another post] @freiys-fics, Logan is strangely attracted to your soft nature.
a/n: that post set something off inside me, I'm also a pretty quiet person, so it spoke to me >"< Enjoy!!
The meeting room is filled with light tension as Xavier and Beast discuss the next mission, while most others just sit around and try to keep their attention on them. Logan is sat against the edge of the long table, eyes darting between the two mutants with light focus, trying to understand their current discussion. But it all goes out of the window once his eyes find you once again. It has been weeks and he still doesn‘t really know much about you. And it‘s been eating him up.
He has seen the way you effortlessly defeat villians, how you move across the field or in a room, always carrying a hint of calmness. Logan inspires the way you never seem to complain — no matter how bad the mission was, no matter how annoying some orders were to follow. In fact, he has never heard you talk that much before. Only when it was necessary. Even now, in the meeting room, during this very briefing, he is tempted to walk up to you, ask you something stupid, just to hear you talk.
But, of course, he doesn‘t. If anything, he never knows what to talk to you about most of the time. The only time he almost came up to talk to you, was when you were wearing a shirt of The Doors, but hesitated too long before you went away again. He has been determined from that day to at least talk to you about anything.
Which is weird for him. Normally, he‘d just go up to anyone and strike a conversation, flirt a little until he gets what he wants. But it‘s clear that probably won‘t work with you. He could have gone up to you and ask about your mutation, but even there he failed at forming a question.
So, once you were all at a bar with the team after a successful mission, he was watching you from the corner of the booth, while quietly nursing his whiskey.
You were chatting with Storm while standing at the bar counter, looking as calm as usual. Charles has teased him about two times already, about the way Logan keeps looking your way, eyes softening ever so lightly. He has given Charles exactly one warning and since then, he is able to watch you peacefully.
After a while, Storm sits back into the booth and you stay by the bar, quietly nursing your own drink.
»You know… you could finally talk to them.«
Storm speaks up as soon as she is seated next to Logan, not hiding her clear intention. Logan gives her a brief glare before looking back to you, letting out a gruff grumble.
»If they want to be alone, then I won‘t bother them.«
That makes even Charles roll his eyes before he leans over the table, trying to talk some sense into Logan without getting into his brain.
»Logan— James, please talk to them. We are tired of watching you admiring her like a love-sick puppy.«
That earns a glare from him, making Charles lean back and put his hands up in defense.
»Jus‘ saying...«
After further contemplation, and peer pressure, he finally gets off the booth and makes his way toward you. His steps are slightly less confident than usual, one hand tucked into his jean pocket. He clears his throat before standing beside you, taking a seat at the bar stool next to you.
»Doin‘ alright?«
Your eyes meet, giving him a soft smile before you speak up.
»Hey, yeah. What about you?« Logan hopes you don‘t see his surprise at the fact that you seem to be interested in holding some conversation with him, instead giving you a light nod in return. He sets his glass on the bar counter top beside yours, clearing his throat.
»You… like The Doors? Like, the band?«
God, he‘s being awkward. He can feel the stares of the team from the booth, possibly judging him and being even more annoying about it all. But once he hears your quiet chuckle, he softens, shoulders slumping a fraction.
»Yeah, how‘d you know?« You see him stare at you for a couple seconds before he regains his composure, putting on an easy smirk.
»Oh, just happened to see you wear their merch some time.« Logan shrugs, clearly trying to match your calm energy while still trying to flirt around, without scaring you off.
»Oh, right… I‘m guessing you‘re also a fan of them?«
He nods and shrugs lightly finally going into a smooth conversation with you.
It‘s only now that he finally gets to know more about you, about your likes and dislikes, your quirks, and what-not. Only once the others say their goodbyes, you two realise how long you‘ve been talking to eachother.
»Well, see you guys tomorrow. Don‘t stay here too long.« Charles stands behind you both, a lazy smile over his face as he gives Logan a smug wink. As if you wouldn‘t notice. Still, you decide not to think too much of it.
»Yeah, sure.« Is all Logan says before focusing back on you, ready to talk some more, maybe even get closer while the others finally make their way outside, back to the University.
But all of his plans go out of the window as soon as you announce going home for tonight as well, standing off your bar stool. He follows suit quickly, trying hard not to end this too fast.
»Uh, I can walk you home, if you want. I don‘t mind.« He offers, hoping he doesn‘t sound like a complete creep. Instead of rejection or a weird look, heh receives another one of your sweet smiles, as well as you agreeing with him.
You end up walking back home in the dark streets, shoulders bumping every now and then with his. He makes sure you make it safely inside your apartment, standing outside for a second longer before he eventually makes his way back to the university.
»Did you at least get a kiss?«
»What did you guys talk about the whole night about?«
»Seriously? You didn‘t even hold hands?«
Questions and more questions piled up over Logan the whole morning, eventually snapping at each of them and giving them a warning to shut their holes. But it doesn‘t stop there. Even his students seem to have caught onto the crush, having started to give hints to you… and maybe have made a few comments to Logan just to tick him off.
Safe to say, he makes sure to keep things private with you, since you seem to prefer doing things private as well.
she would try and get you to stream with her all the time and sometimes you agree as long as you didn’t have to be on camera. you spoke few words on the stream but they all loved you.
making ellie food or a drink whilst she streaming and literally creeping into the room and waving like a mad man out of view of the camera trying to get her attention so she can grab it however, when you don’t get her attention, you will literally throw it onto the desk, whisper a quick hi and then go back to watching from a distance.
spoils you like a LOT. new clothes, flowers, perfumes, accessories. anything you had even mentioned in passing, you will get.
it takes a while but when you start warming up to the camera, you’d sit right beside her. still hardly talking but smiling at the camera and holding ellie’s arm. you’d also played a few games together
when fans recognise you both, you tend to get really shy, hiding behind ellie slightly and holding her arm in front of you
you tend to play music whilst cooking and ellie takes full advantage of it as it’s a time when you let loose, singing and dancing in a pretty dress and your apron, sometimes she’ll join in and other times she records it and puts it on her story with a little ‘she’s not always shy <3’
no matter when she starts streaming, your always watching. in bed, your phones propped up on the bedside table with the stream playing. in the bath, it’s either resting on the floor when you wash or in your hands. making food, your phone is propped against the wall in view of you most. out with friends, it’s on mute so you can join in with conversation but it’s on
and ellie knows when your watching because you’ll always type a sweet little chat that sends her fans crazy
if you wake up earlier than ellie to go grocery shopping (which is usual) you always creep into her streaming room and write on a post it note ‘gone shopping, don’t stream too long my love. i’ll be back soon’
she keeps all your little notes for her in a box in her desk
it’s a very rare occasion but sometimes you go into her stream room when she’s out and start your own stream, curled up on her chair playing silly quizzes on buzzfeed with her fans. you speak to them, barely but there’s content. the fans love it. it’s more chill than ellie’s usual streams.
and don’t get me started on when ellie comes back and finds you in her stream room. she’ll come up behind you, wrap her arms around your shoulders and get involved with the stream. the biggest smile sat on her face

Word count: 1.2k
You woke up with a bubbly stomach. Oh no, today you must present in class in front of the students. Your worst fear, public speaking. You got ready while reading your project in the hope of remembering some part of it, so you don’t look at the paper a lot. You always get docked points for not having eye contact, it was hard because every time you looked into someone's eyes you stuttered. God your stuttering problem was the worst it has gotten better over the years but still bad. When you were little, you used to stutter out every other word, now after many speech therapists, you only stutter when you are overly excited about something, say something too fast, or are nervous, in your books this was progress. You eat breakfast quietly as normal your brother was talkative enough for the both of you, he was the star of the family he was the “perfect” one because he plays sports and was outgoing. Your shyness definitely was your family’s fault, they overlooked you and talked over you. You never felt important till you met Eddie. He made you feel like the only girl in the world. When he talked with you, he talked at you he listens, gave feedback, those beautiful brown eyes hangs on to every word. Whenever you got excited and stuttered your family would shut you down and tell you Relax or just talk normal but Eddie watched you with love in his eyes he would let you finish then talk he was everything you could ask for. Beep Beep music to your ears Eddies horn, your brother rolled his eyes because he was in the middle of his story that he told 1000 times, but your family hung on to every word. “Bye” you mumbled your parents just waved you off. This was going to be a long day.
Eddie knew that it was going to be a bad day for you. You have been stressing out all month, today you had to present a project. You hate public speaking; your shyness gets the best of you and the students of Hawkins high are the worst, they laugh and make fun of every mistake you make. But not today Eddie wasn’t going to let that happen. He saw you come out with fear in your eyes it had already started. “Hi my princess how was your sleep ”he cooed in hopes to keep you out of your head, but you were too far gone. “Hey” you mumbled as you stared off in space lips moving but no words coming out you were reciting your speech. He watched you in worry this was going to be a long day.
“Why don’t you practice on me” “What” you said confusing “Practice your presentation with me I will say mine then you will say yours” he smirked “You did your speech?” “Well, no but I can tell you what I would have said” “Eddie you need to do your homework you are going to graduate with me and-” he got you your mind moved on. He got out the car mid of your rant and opened your door “Thank you and you need to work on your math too because I know you didn’t do it” “Nope I did not” “Let go then” he planned work you and talking to him and are not worried about the project. It was going great …. for 5 seconds “Hey Eddie, Y/N you ready for the presentation that shit is going to kick my-” Gareth said. Eddie hit Gareth’s arm “Ow what was that for” You froze shit you have you look at the clock 10 minutes. “I been trying to get her mind off of it” “Shit sorry” Eddie looked back at you great back to square one. “Sweetheart no need you worry I will be there” tears filled your eyes “But what if I mess up” you said worriedly “Hey” he wiped your eyes “Don’t think like that you are going to do great ok if you get scared looked at me ok” you nodded and held Eddie until the bell rang, here we go.
“Alright class today we are going to do something different instead of volunteering to go up I'm going to pick name” every introvert's worst fear. “Ok first is” Your heart is pounding in your chest praying to any god out there please not me please “Y/N L/N you are first” Eddie looked at you in worry, he gave you a reassuring nod and mouth you got this. You slowly stood up and you felt everyone's eyes on you. You gulp “H-Hi” no stop stuttering ....THUNK everyone laughed Eddie prosperously fell out of his chair when you made eye contact with him, he winked. He was taking to embarrassment off you to him “Mr. Munson in your seat please” “Yep got it” he got up and mouth just breath. You took a deep breath. “My- my project is o-on Th-The-” “Sp-sp-SPIT out already” Andy yelled that had the class roaring in laughter suddenly a spit ball landed on Andy cheek, only you saw Eddie hiding the straw or you thought “Mr. Munson one more thing out of you and you are out of here” he couldn’t leave you so unfortunately, he must protect you in peace. Tear welled your eyes as you finished your presentation “Thank you miss L/N next we have.... Mr. Munson” He got up and tripped on the way up to the front “Ok so my project is on nothing because I didn’t do it” he teased as he look at the teacher “Go sit” “Yep” “Next is......”
The bell rang and you ran out of class Eddie hot on your heels “Y/N wait please” he caught up to you and brought you into his chest “It’s ok I got you” you mumbled something but he couldn’t hear what you said. “Come on lets go somewhere private” he cover you has he went out the school doors to the bench in the word he put you on his lap “Ok let it out” you continue crying for 5 minutes then you died down “ You better” he soothed “Y-Yea” you hiccuped “Hey it wasn’t that bad yea you stutter at the beginning but after you took a breath a look at me everything was perfect” “But Andy-” “Andy is a fucking jerk out he gets off on making people feel bad the rate you're going soon you will be the boss of him” “How if I can’t even due a speech on a book I love how can I be the boss of anyone” you wailed “Ssh ok ssh” as he brought you into your chest “It's going to take some time to get you out of your shell, it took you a good two weeks to look at me and now look at you look at us we are in love” a smiled spread across your face love. Last week after your date Eddie climbed into your room and told you he loved you and you said it back because you did but was too scared to tell him. “How about we skip, go to Benny's pick you some burgers and milkshakes then my place for some movies” “I would really like that” he takes you off his lap and stands up “Then your chariot awaits my shy girl” you blushed there it is, he kissed you then you sneak into his van. It was a perfect way to end a horrible day with Eddie.
Requested by anonymous: Hello you wonderful person! I dare to send in another Buck request, because COME ON HE'S SO LOVELY! ok ok, so maybe where you're also an avenger but you are really silent and distant to everyone (not shy, but alone with your mind), so it happens that buck wants to pull you out of this hole cause he knows how you feel and in the end he succeeds and the teams sees you smile for like the first time since you joined them and they're happy? Gosh i hope this is not weird.
Author's Notes: Hello YOU wonderful sweet anon! How are you doing today? I hope you're doing great. Thank you so much for sending me this wonderful request, I really hope you like it and please feel free to send in more requests at anytime! 💜 Please let me know if you like or hate this, I'll be happy to rewrite it 💜🥺
Divider was made by me 🥰
Your mind was such a beautiful distraction. It's a place where unimaginable scenarios would be stored just for you to be able to stare at a blank wall and dwell heavily on them. Living 99% of the time in your head became a little dangerous but it was a much happier place than reality.
The team would often find you in this daze like state where you'd just stare at the wall ahead without blinking sometimes. They would try to coax you out of it by asking a question, a question you would ignore because you didn't hear them. Their voices were silenced, a contrast to how loud they were in your head.
Nobody really knew why you were like this. It's been this way since you arrived at the compound months ago. You kept to yourself, ate by yourself, worked out when everyone else was either watching movies or asleep, and you would just keep silent. Even on missions, you never spoke a word.
The team were actually very worried about your well-being, as clearly this was not natural. For the first time since the civil war broke out, Steve and Tony were actually in agreement about bringing a psychiatrist in to help you until Bucky intervened and wanted to help you himself first.
Bucky would have considered himself a professional by now. He knows what it's like not to fit in anywhere, how easy it was to feel so out of place. He understood more than any psychiatrist what a better and safer world it was inside your mind.
"Buck you can't help them. Y/N is too far gone." Steve spoke regrettably, sadness evident in his tone. He believed they failed you from the beginning and it was easy for Steve to take the blame so nobody else would have to feel guilty.
Bucky shook his head before he ran a hand through his hair, scratching at the root before letting it drop down by his side again. "I have to try Steve. I've been there before, I know what they are going through. Trust me."
Steve sighed, knowing he wouldn't have won the fight. Bucky was determined and it was impossible to change his mind about anything.
"I do Buck. Just bring them back to us, please."
With Steve's permission granted, Bucky wasted no time in getting to work. He started off being as subtle as possible by sitting as close as he could to you on the couch. The goosebumps that pebbled your skin when his knee brushed your leg gave him a lot of hope, that you were in there somewhere.
Bucky was hopeful he was getting somewhere with you. Because each time he took a seat next to you, you'd angle your body to face him and wait for him to start talking about his favourite movies, his favourite songs, his new profound hobbies he's been getting into lately. Your eyes would glisten with hope that you were actually listening to him. And you were, you paid great attention and everything he told you, about the Hobbit struck a chord in your heart. You had felt so lost for so long that even you were worried you might not be here anymore.
Then a few days later, he started to talk to you like a normal person. He would talk about his favourite books and why he liked them so much. He loved The Hobbit series because of the adventure Bilbo goes on and how easy it was for the words to suck you into the story. How easy it was to forget how to cope with real life.
"Bilbo goes on an adventure of a lifetime and sometimes as the road gets tough, he regrets it but he knows there is something worth waiting for at the end of it, he knows there is something worth saving. He meets new friends and they stick with him the whole time." The emotion in Bucky's voice rang home for you. "There's always something to live for. Bilbo never gave up and neither should you because I'm with you till the end of the line."
You knew he was saying 'if Bilbo Baggins could do this, so could you.'
Days turned into weeks and instead of just talking, Bucky escalated his plans by doing stuff with you. He started off gently by taking you for a walk around the rose garden Tony had at the back of the compound. Bucky noted how your eyes changed, you looked at the gorgeous fruit trees and rose bushes in such awe. The flowery scent tingled your nose.
Then he would go further by taking you a few blocks away to buy you a coffee. And when New York was hit with a heatwave, he took you to the beach where he heard you giggle for the very time because of the flamingo floaties he had around his arms.
The team saw a huge improvement. They saw how you clinged to Bucky and watched him intently as he made a couple of sandwiches and some tea for the two of you to watch with a Disney movie.
And it was just under a month when he heard you speak for the very first time.
"Thank you." Even though it came out in a hushed whisper, he would take it over the deafening silence anyday.
"For what doll?" Of course he already knew, but he wanted to hear more from you. He wanted to hear your voice.
"For helping me."
Bucky nodded slowly, a smile gradually grew on his lips and he pushed just a little bit further.
That evening, you almost talked his ear off. You opened up about your feelings, what kind of envisions lived in your head and how much happier they were than real life. Bucky shared some of his too, comparing the two it was apparent he knew exactly how you were feeling and he understood just how scary it really is. For you, it felt like this huge boulder had been lifted off your chest. A chance to finally let everything out and breathe again.
"How did I help?"
"You made me realise that there is something worth sticking around for, something worth coming back to." You told him with tears in your eyes.
His hands rubbed your back soothingly, "You know doll, sometimes in life, we hit a crossroads. We don't know where we are going or what's on the other side of the road. And if you pick a path, you're going on new adventures everyday and I am right here with you." Tears shamelessly rolled down your cheeks from his words. You've never felt so safe in the whole time you've been here.
The morning after, the team were seated around the dining table eating breakfast and talking about an upcoming mission when you strolled through the doors with a grin on your face and Bucky right behind you, just like he had been throughout this ordeal.
"Holy shit. He did it!" Tony slapped a hand over his mouth, overjoyed with so much emotion. Steve nodded to his friend, proud of him that he stuck with it when it couldn't have been easy.
"Oh my god, you actually have teeth!" Sam joked which earned laughs from both you and the team.
"I do!" You giggled, your eyes squeezed shut as you laughed. It felt good to laugh. "I um, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the distance and the silence and-"
"Listen, don't you worry!" Tony told you as he walked towards you to throw an arm over your shoulder. "We are just glad to have you here and it's a new day, we can start afresh!" Tony walked you towards an empty chair at the table and made Sam move seats so Bucky could sit down next to you. He squeezed your thigh in reassurance that he was here for you and he wouldn't be going anywhere.
May I have a headcannon please? How would Shinso react to hanging out with a friend of his (that he might be developing feelings for) with the rest of 1-A in a loud and crowded cafe and he notices her stressed smile as she struggles through the tight crowd to get to him because he ‘feels safe’. She tries to maintain a conversation with him in this overwhelming environment, but he can see it in her eyes when she can’t take it anymore and shut down. Please and thank you.
Aaahh my purple kitty bb *smooches him to death*
I love this request, I got anxious just reading about the situation so this might be pretty self indulgent, gotta find me some lavender wonder eheh anyway I hope you’ll like these love! More of a bullet point imagine if I’m honest but oh well…
tbh he isn’t feeling so great himself
loud and crowded spaces aren’t his thing, they tend to worsen his migraines and he gets restless and uncomfortable being in close proximity to lots of people
so he immediately recognises the signs with you
it might help that he keeps looking at you in a way that he hopes isn’t too creepy
he said he didn’t want to make friends but everyone’s been really nice to him… he wants to fit in and also he’d like to spend more time with you, that’s why he agreed to all this
but then you got separated by the crowd and he was Annoyed™
Denki’s been talking his ear off for a while now but Shinso stops paying attention when he sees you making your way to them… or trying to at least
he keeps staring at you and when you give him a tight smile he vaguely excuses himself and goes over to you, helping you to slightly less crowded spot
you thank him coyly and he asks you if you needed anything from him or if you actually wanted to talk to Denki
when you explain why you were trying to get to him he keeps a neutral expression but his heart misses a few beats
all this is pretty new to him, he isn’t sure what’s happening but he knows he wants to keep you safe
probably puts it on introvert solidarity though (give him time, it’s gonna dawn on him eventually)
he isn’t so good at making conversation himself but he tries his best for you, he’s happy to get a chance to know you better and he hopes this might distract both of you from the overwhelming environment you’re currently in
but it doesn’t, and he sees this pretty clearly
still tries to keep your attention on him but it doesn’t work and you shut down
from your behaviour he knew this was coming and it happens to him quite often so this doesn’t come as a surprise, but he feels bad you have to endure this
he’s not gonna waist any time and will promptly escort you outside to get away from all the noise and stimuli, and breath some fresh air
if the weather’s too bad then the restroom seems like a valid alternative
he’ll quickly warn the others on your way out and prevent you from bumping into anyone
once outside he’ll stay with you but isn’t gonna bombard you with questions or make any attempt at chitchat
he’ll give you time to recharge, as much as you need
once you feel a little bit better he’ll let you know that this most definitely wasn’t a bother to him and that he’s there, anytime you need him
he’ll also ask you if you feel well enough to go back or if you want to go home
if you feel bad about leaving he’ll do his best to reassure you that your friends will understand and that it’s fine, your mental health is more important
naturally he’ll go with you, no matter what you choose
Can I just add that Hitoshi has a hard time with crowded places also because it hurts even more when there are lots of people and still no one is talking to you because of your quirk? His life pre-1A wasn’t a happy one and it shows…
Can I please request a kuroo and bokuto (separately) where there s/o is a complete introvert but is in a super cuddly and kissy mood.
Thanks for the request!
Kuroo
Movie nights were pretty common with the two of you. But the desperate need to keep your arms wrapped firmly around your boyfriend’s middle is not common at all.
Kuroo had put in the movie earlier and taken his regular position with his arm around you and a casual distance between the two of you. He knew you weren’t too comfortable with the physical side of a relationship, and he never questioned it. So he was just as surprised as you were when you locked your arms around his stomach ten minutes in and put your head on his chest.
“ _____? What are you doing?” He said, blushing a little.
“You’re comfortable. And I just want to be close to you for a little while.” You said, snuggling in closer to him.
He smiled and tightened his arm around you. You stayed there for a while until right before the movie ended when you leaned up and kissed his cheek. He turned with a confused look on his face and you smiled and kissed his lips.
When you pulled away, he was smirking. “Are you actually _______? Or are you an evil twin?”
You laughed loudly. “I just really want to kiss you, Tetsurou. Can I kiss you again?”
“You can kiss me all you want, ________.” He smirked again, and you laughed before pressing your lips to his one more time. His smirk melted into a soft smile against your lips, and you started thinking that maybe this shouldn’t be so uncommon after all.
Bokuto
Being loud and clingy was Bokuto’s job in your relationship.
You were always silently smiling at his antics, and the clingiest you ever got in public was holding his hand. He liked to hug and kiss you in public, but your discomfort always stopped him in his tracks.
But today, on a date to the festival, felt very different.
As usual, he kept a grip on your hand. He was dragging you around to all the different booths, and you had both eaten so much that it felt like you were going to explode. You were happily laughing to a story he was telling when you realized just how much you really wanted to kiss him.
So you did. Your kiss interrupted him mid-sentence, but the feeling of your hands in his hair made him respond with his usual enthusiasm, practically lifting you off of your feet.
When you pulled away, cheeks red from slight embarrassment, he looked flustered. “What was that for?”
“What, I can’t kiss you for no reason, Koutarou?” You said, and he turned bright red.
“It’s just that you don’t usually do that and I wasn’t expecting it and I feel like I shouldn’t be so excited about it because maybe you’re just not feeling well and that’s why you’re in a weird mood, but I-”
You cut him off with another kiss, but this one was longer than the first. “I’m fine, Kou. I wanted to kiss my boyfriend, so I did. You can keep telling me your story now.”
He looked like he was in shock, but shook himself out of it when you took his hand and started walking again. He started talking with even more exuberance than normal, and you couldn’t have been happier because this was just how things are with you and Bokuto.
But it was fun to change it up on him sometimes, too.
