You know, one of my favourite things about Ryland Grace is how sociable he is. How easy it is for people to fall into his orbit. They show it time and time again. How much his students obviously love him, how he manages to hype up the dour suits whilst he's testing the astrophage, Carl playing with him in the Home Depot, the other government people eating his Skittles, Eva Stratt dragging him around everywhere and allowing herself to be just that little bit more vulnerable around him, Rocky and the Eridians embracing him as not just as a savior but family.
I know it's not explicit that Grace is aroace but so often, aroace people are portrayed as distant and independent and happily isolated. Sometimes even to the point of misanthropy. It's so nice to see a character like this who loves connecting with people. He's a rambler, he's excitable. So what if he doesn't have a family or a dog. He doesn't need them because he has everyone he meets and that's enough.

It was no secret that Dex was an attractive guy, and even more charismatic. Though his charms doesnât work on you well it definitely works on other women.
In no way im saying Dex would try to flirt with women to get your attention, he is too hopelessly and desperately into you.
It doesnât stop other women to flirt with him though. Its not like he doesnât shut it off immediately, he really does. But what he didnt know that you would be jealous by it.
How could he? You barely gave him the time of day, never paying actual attention to him. Hell, you barely even talk to him properly at home!!
You two were in the car, going back home after a wedding. Summer season always did meant the wedding season, and maybe thats why the only thing Dex insisted about the wedding was having the wedding late autumn early winter.
To be honest, if this was a friends wedding you wouldâve totally left Dex home. After all its your friends. But since this was a family wedding you had to bring him, and he was quite eager to come.
You were sat on the passenger seat, one leg crossed over the other. Back comfortably against the seat, watching the dark road. Your music playing in his car.
You were quieter than usual, you were always quiet when alone with him, sure. But this time it was different, seeing your cousin (who wasnt even your cousin) touch up on his arm talking about how unfair it was to him that he had such a cruel wife.. you werent that cruel were you?
âYouâre different,â Dex started, looking at you for a moment. Watching the way your gaze was so distant, thumb brushing over the diamond ring. Your breathing a little a slower, like you didnt even have the tolerance to hear your own breath. âI promise nothing happened, i shut it down as soon as i realised..â
Dex reached with his right hand, the left one still on the wheel. His hand hovered over yours for a moment, raising his hand to touch your arm. Trying to coax words out of your mouth. âIm cruel?â You asked, you were as confused as someone could be.
âNo, youâre not cruel. Youâre justâŚâ he trailed off, not knowing how to continue. âIâm just what, Dex?-â You huffed out, crossing his arms.
âYouâre my wife, thats who you are. Youâre not Cruel, youâre not mean. Youâre my wife.â He cut you off before you could continue, emphasizing on the word wife. âSince when do you care what others say? Huh? Wait, this is not about being called cruel is it?â He realised, eyes widening slightly as he stopped talking for a moment. Stopping to park inside the gas station.
He turned to face you, a small smile forming on his face. âWhat are you so smiley for?â Your brows furrowed, why was he being so smiley about??
âYouâre jealous- thats, thats what it isâ He said, happy as he can. Reaching to touch your hand. You retract your hand, rolling your eyes before resting back against the seat. ââŚNo.â You muttered not even looking at him.
âOh no, please let me have this. Come on.â Dex was more excited than anything, it was his first time seeing you this⌠small.
You shook your head, not even looking at him. He grabbed your wrist, squeezing. Not hard enough to hurt, just hard enough to get your attention back on him.
âIts just me, come on, dont be shy.â He said, ducking his head a little to get into your vision. âYou let her touch you.â You muttered out, finally making eye contact.
âAh⌠i see. Im yours though, arenât i? Do you want me to get rid of her? I know how much you hate her.â He said, trying to lighten your mood. And when you didnt reply he just nodded, his hand sliding down from your wrist to your hand.
Trying to hold your hand without pushing his luck too much. âMaybe.â You said in a small voice slightly irritated that he was this happy. âWill you shut up now?â You sigh, wanting so bad to snap at him.
Dex, gave you a defeated look. âShe touched me barely a second, you know.â He spoke after some silence, watching you pick at your bracelet. âBesides, why do you care now?â He hummed, hoping to take you out of your shell a little more.
âYouâre acting as if you wouldnt have done the same thing.â You murmur, finally holding eye contact with him. âYeah, well, i wouldâve killed the guy. But thats just me.â He shrugged casually, like it was just common sense.
ââŚSo, i should kill her is what youâre saying?â You smiled a little, and Dex grinned at your smile. It was the third time he made you smile up until now. âNo, i got it handled. Dont mess up those pretty nails.â He hummed, reaching out a hand. Seeing if you would let him take it.
When you didnt retract your hand he took it as a sign to hold your hand in his, thumb rubbing over your nails.
You finally spoke after watching his thumb touch your nails so gently âNo.. dont kill anyone.â
âI could.â
âI wont come visit.â
âFine, i wontâŚâ Dex said begrudgingly, you two fell into a silence again. But this time it felt comfortable, warm even.
âââ
Skipping to Thanksgiving few months later, you arrived at your family home. Dex walked behind you like a puppy, per usual. But this time you were actually letting him hold your hand. Couple bite marks on his throat, high enough that his turtleneck doesnt even cover them. Dex doesnt want them covered eighter, happy that his pretty pretty wife is holding his hand, her marks on his throat. His marks were planted in deep deep places instead. Maybe you getting jealous wasnt so bad after all, after all it got him what he wanted all along.
Summary: The Thunderbolts love to tease Bob about how down bad he is for you.
Warnings: flirting. teasing. fun times with the Thunderbolts. yearning a bit. touching (innocently). heart eyed Bob. no use of y/n.
__________________
The first mistake is introducing you to the team game night.
The second mistake is letting Yelena discover how easy it is to embarrass Bob in front of you.
Because now? She absolutely lives for it.
âOkay,â John says dramatically, throwing cards onto the table, âsomeone explain to me how Bob won three rounds in a row.â
âStatistical probability,â Bob answers quietly.
Yelena narrows her eyes. âSuspicious answer.â
You laugh softly beside him and Bob glances over immediately. And there it is. That look. That impossibly tender oh there you are expression he gets every single time you smile at him.
Ava notices instantly. âOh my God,â she mutters.
Bob blinks. âWhat?â
âYouâre doing the face again.â
Bob freezes. âWhat face?â
âThe one where you look at her like she personally invented sunlight.â
Your face immediately heats up.
Across the table, Alexei gasps dramatically. âYes! Puppy eyes!â
Bob looks genuinely alarmed now. âI do not have puppy eyes.â
âYou absolutely do,â John says.
Yelena points at you. âAnd she likes it.â
Bob nearly chokes to death and you hide your smile behind your drink. âI think itâs cute.â
Complete silence. The entire table watches Bob short-circuit in real time.
His ears turn pink instantly. ââŚOkay,â he says weakly after a second. âYou think I'm cute?.â
Yelena slams a hand against the table triumphantly. âHe is blushing!â
âI hate all of you.â
âNo you donât,â you murmur affectionately beside him and Bob looks at you only to immediately softens again.
Ava groans loudly. âUGH. There it is again.â
The next incident happens during training. Which is unfortunate, because the entire team witnesses it.
Youâre sparring with Bucky. Which is a bad idea, honestly. Not because youâre unskilled, but because Bucky fights like a brick wall with emotional repression issues.
One badly blocked hit later and you stumble backward with a sharp hiss. Bob is across the room instantly. Like genuinely superhuman fast.
One second heâs standing near the weights and the next heâs beside you gripping your shoulders carefully. âYou okay?â
The concern in his voice is immediate. Sharp and protective.
You blink up at him. âIâm fine.â
Bobâs eyes scan you anxiously anyway. âYour wrist is hurt.â
âItâs just sore.â
Bucky watches this interaction silently. Then slowly glances at Yelena.
Yelena grins like a maniac. âOhhhhh he is DOWN BAD.â
Bob closes his eyes briefly. âPlease stop saying that.â
âYou moved at speed of light,â John says. âThat was insane.â
Alexei points proudly. âPower of romance!â
âIt was a reflex,â Bob argues weakly.
You smile slightly. âThatâs kinda sweet, actually.â
Bob looks at you. And once again ... Puppy eyes.
Ava physically throws her hands into the air. âI cannot keep watching this every day.â
But the real disaster happens two weeks later. At IKEA. Nobody knows how it happened. One minute the team is discussing tactical equipment. The next somehow everyone is wandering through IKEA on a âquick stop.â
Which is already dangerous.
Then John and Alexei discover the fake apartment displays. Which becomes catastrophic immediately.
âYou two,â Yelena says suddenly, pointing at you and Bob. âPretend to be a married couple.â
Youâre already laughing, but Bob looks deeply suspicious. âThis feels targeted.â
âIt is,â Ava confirms.
Before Bob can escape, Yelena physically grabs your wrist and shoves you both into one of the fake living room setups. âGo go go.â
âWhat are we supposed to do?â Bob asks helplessly.
âDomestic activities.â
âThat is not an activity.â
John immediately sprawls across the fake couch. âOh my God, look. Bob already looks like he pays taxes.â
The team loses it instantly. Meanwhile Bob stands frozen in the middle of the staged living room while you laugh beside him.
Then you casually fix the collar of his jacket. A tiny gesture. Nothing dramatic. But Bob stills immediately. His eyes flick down to your hands and then back to your face.
And suddenly the teasing around you fades into background noise, because heâs looking at you again. Like that.
Soft, warm. Entirely gone for you.
Your expression melts a little too. âYour collar was weird,â you murmur quietly.
Bob smiles faintly. âThank you.â
And unfortunately the team notices EVERYTHING.
Yelena screams from across the showroom: âTHEY ARE FLIRTING IN SCANDINAVIAN LIVING SPACE.â
Bob physically folds in half from embarrassment. You laugh so hard you accidentally lean against him. And instinctively his arm wraps around your waist. Easy and protective like it belongs there. Natural such as breathing.
The whole team goes silent. Because for one tiny second, the joking fades. And they all see it.
How careful Bob is with you.
How much calmer he looks around you.
How you automatically lean into him like you trust him completely.
Itâs sweet enough to hurt. Even Bucky softens slightly. Then Alexei ruins the moment instantly. âYou should buy fake couch for kissing.â
The entire group erupts again.
Bob drops his forehead directly onto your shoulder in surrender while you laugh helplessly into his hair. And somewhere underneath all the chaos and teasing and ridiculousness, something warm settles quietly into Bobâs chest.
Because for the first time in a very long time, being loved doesnât feel frightening.

Thank you so much for reading! All interactions are highly appreciated
There was a crash in the living room, followed by a meow and shushing from your boyfriend Adrian. She stepped out of the bedroom making her way towards the living room. âAdrian?â she calls out as she moves to his bent over frame.Â
âHey pretty!â He stands up abruptly and scoots around like heâs trying to cover something. âWhat are you doing?â her head moves trying to look behind his legs. She pauses for a moment before moving closer, eyebrows furrowed as she looks down at her catâŚin a shirt similar to Adrian's vigilante suit. âWhy is my cat wearing a shirt?âÂ
âI need a sidekick duh!â he states like it was the most obvious thing in the world. âOkay, but why canât an actual human be your sidekick?âÂ
He scoffs at her question âBecause it risks somebody knowing my secret identity, plus cats have 32 muscles in each ear, allowing them to swivel 180 degrees independently and hear frequencies up to 100,000 Hz, so he can listen for bad guys behind me!âÂ
She nods, processing his words âSo instead of getting someone like Kite-Man to help fight alongside you, you choose my cat.â
An offended scoff leaves his lips âFirst of all I would NEVER have âKite-Manâ be my sidekick and secondly heâs our cat.â
âRight sorry our catâ
.
.
A couple hours later Adrian came through the window with the cat strapped to his chest in aâŚbaby carrier?Â
She looks up from the screen of her computer taking in the sight of her boyfriend with small scratches on the sides of his mask and on the hard plates of his suit. âI take it that it didnât do well?â
He closes the window undoing the carrier on his chest, removing his mask âNo it didnâtâ he pointed to the animal that was now occupying her lap. âHe took off on me five times!âÂ
âIs that why he was in a baby carrier?â
âNo! He was in there because he kept trying to eat the rats!â
She stopped scratching the cat's head. âWhat rats?â
âThe ones at the pet store!â
âWhy were you at the pet store this late, and where did you even find a baby carrier?â
âOh I found it on some balcony, I canât believe people let things dry outside at night! I mean what if it had gotten stolen, good thing I found it and used it to keep this little guy safe!â
She took a deep breath. âThat still doesn't explain why you were at the pet store.â
âOh yeah I was looking to see if there were any ferrets there so we can buy one! I need a different sidekick.â
Hiii could you write Dex with an insecure girlfriend? Like her mentality is so âHeâs so handsome why is he with meâ and stuff
Not hiding anymore
Benjamin Poindexter x fem!Reader
warning: insecure reader, fluff
The thought followed you everywhere these days. It slipped into your head whenever Dexâs hand settled at the small of your back, whenever women you donât know glanced at him a second too long.
He was beautiful. His face, his body, fuck, everything about him was beautiful. The way his face harmonizes together. Just⌠everything!
And then there was you.
You had spent so much time convincing yourself that he would eventually realize he could do better that you had almost started treating it like a fact rather than a fear.
Dex noticed the change before you ever said a word. The way you looked away whenever someone complimented him. The way your pulse jumped whenever you caught the eyes of a stranger on him. Lust written all over their faces.
You were sitting together on the couch when he finally spoke.
âYouâve been avoiding my eye contacts.â The statement caught you off guard. It shouldnât catch you off guard because you knew that he over analyzed everything.
âWhat?â
âYouâve been doing it for twelve days.â
âTwelve-â You blinked. Has it really been that long?
âTwelve.â There wasnât even a hint of uncertainty in his voice. You stared at him for a moment before looking down at your hands. Dex waited until you said something but nothing followed. Eventually the words slipped out of your mouth.
âI donât know.â A blant lie. You knew why you had been avoiding his eye contact for so long.
âYou do.â You swallowed and look down, not wanting to meet his eyes. He knew that you know the reason for all this. And for a second he thought that he was the problem.
âItâs stupid.â
âI didnât say it was.â Yeah thanks DexâŚ
His expression remained the same, silence stetching between you. Then quietly you admitted it.
âSometimes I donât understand why youâre with me.â
The room became so quiet, it felt uncomfortable. You immediately regretted saying it.
âIt sounds ridiculous, I know, but youâreâŚâ You laughed weakly. âLook at you, Dex.â
His eyebrows pulled together. You continued before you could stop yourself.
âYouâre attractive and confident and people notice you everywhere we go and I just keep thinking one day youâre going to realize you settled for me and leave me.â You stop to take a deep breath before you continued. âLike maybe you just havenât noticed yet that I am not the person you want to spend your time with.â
For a second, Dex simply stared. Then he leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees.
âYou think I havenât noticed?â
âWhat?â You frowned but youâre not completely shocked.
âI know exactly what you look like.â His gaze stayed fixed on you. The bluntness of the response made your face heat immediately.
âDex-â He cuts you off before you can say anything further.
âNo.â His voice wasnât harsh. Oh my, it was anything but harsh.
âI know what your face looks like when youâre trying not to laugh. I know how you wrinkle your nose when youâre annoyed. I know the sound of your footsteps compared to everyone elses and I know how much you love taking care of stray cats.â His eyes never left yours while he was saying all these beautiful stuff. âI know you always move closer when youâre tired even though you pretend youâre not affectionate.â
âI notice things.â The statement carried a weight that made it impossible to argue with him.
âYou act like I ended up here without me wanting it,â he continued quietly. âLike I somehow missed all the other options.â
A bitter laugh escaped you. âThatâs not what I-â
âIt is.â His jaw tightened at the thought of you putting yourself down. For the first time, something vulnerable slipped through his body âAnd itâs wrong.â
âI chose you.â The words landed harder than anything else had. Dex reached for your hand. His thumb brushed across your knuckles.
âIf I wanted someone else, Iâd be with someone else.â You looked down.
âBut-â
âNo.â He cuts you off again but this time firmly. You looked back up to find him already watching you.
âI donât stay where I donât want to be.â There was something almost painfully honest in the statement. You know that Dex is honest. He wasnât the type of person who remained out of obligation. He never had been and never will be.
âSo stop deciding what I should want for me.âYour breath caught. His fingers tightened around yours.
âI know exactly who Iâm with and I love where I am.â For a moment neither of you spoke.
Then, quieter this time, he added. âAnd for the record, every time you look at me and wonder why Iâm with you, Iâm usually wondering why youâre still putting up with me. Why youâre with me.â
You stared, trying to process everything he just said. Dex immediately looked annoyed with himself for admitting that. Which somehow made you smile and the tension finally eased from your shoulders.
âWhatâs funny?â His eyes narrowed slightly.
âYou are funny.â
âThat wasnât a joke.â He sighed.
âI know.â But when you leaned against him a second later, he wrapped an arm around your shoulders and pulled you closer without a word, holding you there with the same certainty heâd used all evening. He gently kisses your temple and rests his head against yours.
âYouâre it for me. Never say that again about yourself.â He quietly said. âNever hide from me anymore.â

hiii pretty please dex w a very shy reader. her blushing at every compliment he gives her
His pretty Woman
Benjamin Poindexter x fem!Reader
warning: fluff!
A/N: If Dex ever complimented me just know Iâd jump on him.
You were sitting on the kitchen counter while Dex made coffee, one leg swinging against the cabinet below. The apartment was quiet except for the sound of the coffee maker and the occasional clink of a mug against the countertop. It was one of those mornings where neither of you had anywhere urgent to be.
You were halfway through scrolling on your phone when you noticed him looking at you. I mean, Dex looked at you a lot.
What was unusual was that heâd stopped what he was doing entirely. He was standing in front of the coffee machine with one hand resting on the counter, gaze fixed on you with that intense focus that made it feel like he was studying every detail at once.
You lowered your phone. âWhat?â
His eyes flicked briefly to your face before he answered.
âYour hair looks beautiful today.â You blinked.
âOh.â You say and Dex nodded once, as if that settled the matter, then turned back toward the coffee maker. Meanwhile, your brain completely stopped functioning.
Because the thing was, you hadnât done anything special. Youâd barely brushed your hair this morning before leaving it down. There had been no effort involved or whatever, which somehow made the compliment worse. A few seconds passed before Dex looked back over his shoulder.
âWhy are you smiling?â Immediately, your smile disappeared.
âIâm not.â
âYou are.â
âIâm literally not.â
âYou were.â You groaned quietly and hid your face behind your phone. From across the kitchen, Dex frowned slightly. He seemed genuinely confused by your reaction, which honestly made sense. Dex rarely gave compliments to be charming. If he noticed something, he simply said it. To him, there wasnât anything particularly extraordinary about it.
But there was something extraordinary about it to you.
âDex.â
âWhat?â
âYou canât just say stuff like that.â
His eyebrows pulled together immediately. âLike what?â
You lowered the phone enough to look at him. âCompliments.â
âBut your hair does look nice.â The answer came so quickly and so sincerely that your face instantly warmed. Dex noticed this immediately. His eyes narrowed slightly as realization began to dawn on him. You could practically see the moment he connected the dots.
âOh.â
âNo.â
âYou get embarrassed.â
âDex.â
âYou do.â
You pointed at him accusingly. âDonât start.â
âIâm not doing anything.â The corner of his mouth twitched upward. Not a full smile, but close enough.
âYouâre looking way too pleased with yourself right now.â He considered that for a second. Then his gaze moved over your face again, completely unbothered.
âYou look pretty when you blush. My pretty Woman.â Dex immediately knew heâd won. Not because heâd meant to fluster you, not even because heâd been teasing. He simply looked at your expression afterward and realized the compliment had landed exactly the way heâd hoped.
A small smile finally appeared on his face as he stepped closer and handed you your coffee. Your cheeks were still warm. Dex looked entirely too satisfied about it.
âSee?â he said quietly. You accepted the mug with a groan.
âDex.â You warn him but his smile only widened slightly.
âOkay Okay, no need to get angry, pretty woman.â Ugh, is he trying to kill you?
Eridians cant "hold their breath" like humans do, their vents dont close completly so water can still get in, if they fall in water they drown and die. safe to say rocky is not a fan of when grace does it for fun xD
(i got the inspo for this from this fic: Enrichment by alatarmaia4, please check it out it is so funny)
More art of Rocky Stressingâ˘ď¸ about human biology
It is so human and so not romance novel that after Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice reads Mr. Darcy's letter and accepts that Wickham was the real villain and not him, her reaction is not, "Oh no, I loved and lost him!" it's "Oh shit, I fucked up! I hope I never see that man again in my entire life."
my apologies to the lovely lady who had only just begun constructing her beautiful spiderweb in the immediate path of the side door this morning when i, in my self-centered desire to vacate my home of assorted household refuse, came oafishly barging through the sum of her efforts. i shall meditate upon my actions and how they harmed not just her, but all women of the world, and endeavour to do better
My friends and I all took a âwhich Jane Austen love interest would you fall for?â and I was like ooh ooh I hope I get Mr. Knightley. But also if they have Henry Tilney on there heâs super underrated and I would get his humor better than Catherine anyway so I want him too. One of my friends said she wanted Mr. Darcy and I was like eh hard pass. Everyone looked at me like I committed sacrilege and I was like look! I love him! As a character! And I think heâs great for Elizabeth! I am really super happy that Elizabeth ended up with him. And also perfectly content to not be Elizabeth because heâs just not for me. And then we took the test and I got Mr. Darcy and one of my friends said âI forgot not liking him was a prerequisite for falling in love with himâ and I threw my phone at her (spiritually, not physically, bc phones are expensive)

Hi, Iâm sorry for this but thereâs a serious issue going on within the fandom but thereâs barely any posts giving awareness about it in Tumblr. For everyoneâs awareness, please block and do not engage with @/cullenedward
This person sadly has a massive following on tiktok and has been deleting comments in their videos (informative comments that bring up that personâs harmful behavior through google docs receipt.)
It is already concerning because their parasocial behavior includes stalking Wilson Bethel and searching up images of his family by following the actorâs family accounts which he keeps private from the media.
yes! i know about this and it's really disgusting. their name on twitter and tiktok is 'hans is dexing it'. not only have they stalked wilson but they are homophobic, misogynistic and racist. don't send them hate or give them attention, just block and report. wilson's team has already been notified of this and they should be taken to court.
can I request Bullseye with blind reader where he thought she saw him vigilante-ing but turns out she couldn't see so he just following her around.
or Dex x blind reader where she ask to touch his face to try and visualize how he looks to her and he lets her touch other part of him too. And she cried after discovered many scars of his (she just love him so much) and he start panicking and stuff.
thank you thank you thank you i hope you have a wonderful day
hello anon!!! i will write both because these are both amazing ideas :3
so, reader has low vision, which in her case means that she can identify light and shadows, but not shapes. which means she can't identify people's faces, has limited depth perception, and generally struggles to get around. but she is familiar with her neighbourhood, so she is a bit more okay with getting home and to work :3
ËËË â ËËË
dex saw you across the street on a dark, dark night. regrettably after he had maimed about fourteen anti-vigilante task force agents without a mask on. it had been ripped off during a moment of hand-to-hand combat and he figured it didn't matter since who'd be walking around hell's kitchen this late at night?
then he saw you seemingly looking directly at him from across the street, in perfect view of the scene.
he stared at you for a moment, contemplating how to handle this inconvenience. with his remington? his knife? his colt? he couldn't be certain that he was actually considering it, since he knew he would've done it by now if he really wanted to.
by the time his hand reached for a throwing knife, you had begun walking away. he just tracked your receding figure before stalking back to his apartment.
ËËË â ËËË
dex couldn't sleep that night. hours passed and he was trying to grasp how he could've possibly let this happen. from letting his mask slip to not noticing you, then to not taking care of the problem that you posed.
he gave up on the farce of trying to sleep and paced his apartment. he was sure he'd walked miles within these walls.
he ran through every action he took, he would've done it all the same again, but he just couldn't fathom how he reached such a problematic outcome.
all he knew was that he needed to find you, he needed to make sure you wouldn't tell anybody what happened.
ËËË â ËËË
finding you wasn't hard for him at all. your face had been engraved in his mind's eye since he saw you. he went back to the place he saw you the day after at a similar time, and there you were. maybe this was a part of your routine.
he tracked you from a distance to you apartment, furrowed his brows at how often you bumped into objects on the way. he assumed you must've been drunk.
(if so, he thought, did you even remember what you saw that night? had you been drunk then?)
he kept coming back to your apartment after discovering where you lived. he slinked in through your fire escape when you had left, presumably for work. he left a knife on your pillow. engraved on the blade with a threat, keep quiet.
if you had remembered what you saw that night, he was sure you'd get the memo to forget.
ËËË â ËËË
after months of monitoring you, dex assumed you understood. he didn't catch wind of any anonymous tips or reports. good, he thought.
for his own piece of mindâas was his excuseâhe continued to follow you. he followed you to your workplace. he found out that you were a court stenographer. he sat in on a few cases when he could; he wanted to watch your dedication. he enjoyed it, too. he you looked more focused than he'd ever seen you, certainly more than watching you stumble your way home at night.
eventually, he became emboldened to approach you. he "accidentally" crossed paths with you a few yards out from the courthouse. you dropped a lip balm tin and struggled to find it as it rolled away just outside a bakery.
dex, or ratherâas he would later introduce himself as to youâtony picked it up and held it out to you from a short distance. yet, you still crouched down to the ground, palming the concrete in search of the product. he cleared his throat to grab your attention. "ma'am?"
you stood up uncertainly and faced him as your eyebrows furrow. he watched the way your eyes didn't seem to focus on his face, the way your body wasn't exactly facing him head-on. were you...?
"here's your...chapstick?" the upward inflection of his voice made it sound like he had never heard of cosmetics, but he was re-evaluating everything he had spent the past months doing.
you just smiled shyly and held out your hand, inches off from where his hand was. "sorry, i-- thank you."
you pocketed the lip balm and started heading home. dex felt suddenly embarrassed that he had left a menacing note for a blind girl.
ËËË â ËËË
dex felt insanely guilty in a relationship with you. he wanted to enjoy your presence, but the way he got to know you (stalking you with ill-intent) was poor form.
he didn't tell you; it's still early days. but he couldn't deny the churn in his stomach when you mentioned the one odd time you lay your head at night and felt a blade under your hair. thank goodness you didn't know what it said.
one day, you asked to feel his face. dex was glad that you couldn't see the look of hopeful bewilderment on him.
"i usually rely on people's voices to recognise them, since i can't make out features." then, to dex's surprise, you started running your hands down the sides of his face. "but i wanna try and build your face in my mind."
you didn't wait for an answer before first feeling the prominent bones of his face. you could feel the slight wrinkles on the hinges of his jaw down to the dimple in his chin. you traced your fingers along his cheekbones and across his forehead. you could feel what you thought was minimal scar tissue, the old remnants of tiny cuts and scratches.
then, you felt the scar. the unmistakable gash on his cheek under your hand. you brushed your thumb along it from from the very too to bottom. dex watched you frown slightly.
"oh, tony...wh--" you cut yourself. the cut in his flesh was deep, so would be the emotional wounds, you assumed. you didn't know if it would upset him to ask.
you only leaned into him and nosed his cheek gently. dex tried not to let his tears fall, but he felt you shuddering against him as shaky breaths escaped your lips.
he'd never, not once in his life, been touched so tenderly. your hands on his face told him everything: you were the one person in his life that didn't look at him as volatile. you didn't know what he was capable ofâwhat he had done and will continue to do.
the way you spoke against the side of his face when you wrapped your arms around him, "you're beautiful, tony," gentle as if he would shatter if you spoke too loud. he would do anything to hold onto that.
Hiii <33 can I request Adrian x reader where the reader jokingly tells Adrian heâs out of her league since heâs muscular, handsome, and good at his job but deep down sheâs actually insecure about that and feels undeserving and he clocks it right away and reassures her ?

A/N: Ohhhh this eatsâŚthis prompt eats hard. Thank you for the request this one was fun to do!

___
Being a part of the 11th Street Kids came with a lot of pros and cons.Â
A major pro being that she no longer felt alone. Being in the black ops field it was hard to make friends and even though it was still hard to call these people her friends in the start it had grown. She wouldnât go as far as Ads did and call them a family, but she felt it.Â
One con, being that they were all insane to various degreesâŚsome much more than others. One of those being her lovely boyfriend.Â
Her and Adrian, or as she met him the Vigilante, had been dating for a little over six months with a surprising amount of success. She had never had much luck dating in the past because people who worked outside of black ops had a really hard time understanding the job and people who typically worked black opsâŚwell she wouldnât typically date them either.Â
To be fully honest, she still wasnât sure what Adrian even saw in her. When he first tried (awkwardly) showing that he was interested in her by speaking loudly about things they both enjoyed, complimenting the weirdest things about her, and justâŚalways hanging around.Â
She kicked herself for weeks, he was attractive and he did make her smile, but the 11th Street Kids felt soâŚreal and permanent. Sheâd never forgive herself if she slept with him and then he ditched her and she just had to pretend like everything is normal.Â
But at least so far, it hadnât been like thatâŚhe had been sweet. He brought her flowers, held doors open, and followed her around like a lost puppy.Â
Unfortunately it didnât stop the fear of the other shoe dropping.Â
She really tried to keep it in and away, trying to enjoy her time with Adrian, but when they were alone and just spending time together one on one it was hard to let those thoughts sit.Â
Tonight was no exception. She had invited Adrian over for dinner and they had been taking turns showing each other movies that they liked. She was sprawled out on the couch, her legs in Adrianâs lap as he rubbed her calves absentmindedly, humming softly as he focused on the movie. Tonight it was her pick on movie and Adrianâs pick for dinner.Â
And it didnât take long before she started to regret her choice of 10 Things I Hate About You the moment the similarities began to arise in her mind.Â
âTheyâre so dumb,â Adrian complained halfway through the movie and she paused it, looking over at him.Â
âWhat do you mean?âÂ
âI mean, they clearly like each other! Plus heâs getting money and he can use that to spoil her, as he should,â he said firmly and she let out an awkward laugh.
âI meanâŚthis is a real fear people have,â she said gently.Â
âThat someone is paying their partner to date them?â he asked, tilting his head as he looked at her.
âNot just paying, just that thereâs an ulterior motive.â
âThatâs fucking dumb,â he said with a huff.Â
âItâs a real fear,â she said firmly, feeling her nerves raise.Â
âIt shouldnât be.âÂ
âI mean, Iâm shocked you havenât left me for someone better,â she said, trying to keep her tone light and teasing but there was an edge to it that he seemed to pick up immediately as his brow furrowed. âThis is a fear I have, just like the movie,â she said, trying to get him to see her point.Â
âWhat?â he said, face dropping.Â
âI mean, Adrian come on! Youâre strong, handsome, and kick ass at your job. Youâre like a million leagues ahead of me! Iâm still surprised you even approached me first and wanted more than just like a little fling.âÂ
She watched her words hit him as he shuffled on the couch, pausing the movie. First moving her legs off his lap staring forward before looking over at her, his mouth opening and closing as he tilted his head frowning. Then he stood up and started to pace, pausing so often to look at her and point and then keep walking.
âWhat is happening right now?â
âIâm sorry, Iâm trying to think of a polite way to ask if youâre the dumbest person alive,â he said, stopping in front of her.
âIâm sorry, what?â she asked, eyebrows raised and panic took over his face as he shook his head.Â
âNo! No, sorry! I donât mean it like that! Youâre not dumb thatâs the point,â he said, watching her closely. âYouâre likeâŚoh my god you donât even realize that Iâm the reacher and youâre the settler!â
âWhat are you talking about?âÂ
âYou! Holy shit, youâre smart, youâre beautiful, youâre so fucking badass. Like I still donât fully understand why the hell you even give me the time of day!â he said, sounding genuinely upset that she wasnât seeing what he was saying. âYouâre justâŚlike I told Chris the day we met that you fucking walked out of my brain! Youâre literally my dream girl come to life but better because youâre real and you like me!âÂ
She watched him as he finished, his chest heaving hard as she sat on the edge of the couch. Adrianâs hands fidgeting and pulling at his hair, his whole body seemed in distress. When she didnât say anything Adrian kept going.Â
âI love you, youâre amazing and gorgeous and literally deserve someone way better than me and Iâm just now realizing that is the first time Iâve said I love you and weâve only been seeing each other for a few months,â Adrian rambling, eyes wide behind his glasses as she blinked at him, finally standing up. She took a step towards him and he took a step back.Â
âYou love me?â she repeated, voice soft and face neutral as his eyes seemed to search for any sign of discomfort.Â
âI do,â he said finally after a beat, his words soft and gentle. âI really do. Youâre amazing and itâŚit hurts me to think that you donât see what I see and Iâll do anything to get you to see it.âÂ
âAdrianâŚâ she said gently, her nerves melting as she cupped his cheek and kissed his other cheek. âI love you too.âÂ
âReally?â he asked, sounding like an excited puppy being told their favorite words.Â
âYes, I do,â she repeated. âI really do love you.â
âThatâs good, really good because that was going to be really awkward if you didnât!â he said laughing brightly as he swept her off her feet as she squealed, her arms flying around his neck as he spun her and peppered her face with kisses. âI canât believe you think Iâm hot! And you thought I was hotter than you!â he said laughing hard as if it was the most ridiculous thought on the planet.Â
âOkay, you doofus, put me down. We still have to finish the movie,â she said, slapping his back gently as he sat her down, moving them back on the couch, this time much closer.Â
âI will, only because I love you and youâre beautiful,â he said. âAnd Iâll start the movie again because I love you and youâre awesome.â

buy me a coffee âĄ
Heâs allowed into the room while youâre still asleep. He wasnât sure he would be, but the nurse must have sensed his worry from a mile away, and his eyes tend to be very persuasive whenever heâs desperate for something.
Heâs careful as he closes the door behind himself after entering, like the faintest noise could wake you up even though the steady beeping of the monitor already rhythms the otherwise quiet room.Â
The doctors told him already, but seeing it lifts the heaviness on his chest when he sees you â you look okay. And maybe itâs stupid because his medical knowledge is very much limited and you could as well look the same and be doing horribly wrong, but something in him holds hope and heâs already half as less nervous just looking at you.
He drags the chair at the corner of the room beside your bed and sits, hands fiddling with the hem of his sleeves just to busy his hands.Â
He knows you need your rest and he would never think to wake you up, but a part of him hopes you will wake up soon just so he can really make sure youâre okay.
The clock ticks so slowly and for so long, but Bob would rather be here with you than out there in the waiting room with the complaining hypochondriac man who, as he heard it from an intern, was here for the third time this week and that had only made him more anxious as he waited for news on you.
Bobâs arms are crossed and laid over your bed at your side, chin resting over his forearm as he waits, matching his breathing to yours, watching the rise and fall of your chest. He would rest his head over your lap if he was sure it wouldnât bother you or wake you up.
His eyes donât leave you, and he has watched you sleep so many times during nights he couldn't manage to that he notices the second something shifts over your face and you look like you could be waking up. He sits up, slow and careful, adjusting over his chair, hand holding yours, thumb caressing over your fingers as he awaits the slightest change in your demeanor.Â
Your eyes open with difficulty, trying to fight the rays sifting through the blinds, closing again a few times until they adjust to the luminosity of the room, still remaining heavy with haziness. Your head spins funnily, but not in an uncomfortable way, and your limbs feel numb and somehow very present at the same time.
Itâs only when you feel a tingle at your fingers that you fully realize someone is here, and notice the man sitting at your side when he had until then only been a faint shadow at the corner of your eye.Â
Him. Bob.Â
He has no reason to be here, you think.
But you're glad he is.
âHeyyyyy,â you grin, a dazed expression over your face, a cheerful tone through the haze in your voice.Â
Bobâs face lights up and he shifts his position over his chair again. âHey,â he murmurs, smiling, a bit surprised by your enjoyment. âHow are you feeling?â
The tingle again. Itâs more of a caress more than a tingle now that you feel it again, and your eyes track it, and itâs in your hand on the same side Bob is sitting.Â
His hand is holding yours.Â
âI think Iâm doing just great,â you confidently declare, head leaning back into your pillow in contentment, a smile over your face. âBut I have to askââ you clear your throat lightly, eyes squeezing shut before opening again like you're trying to chase the veil of fuzziness away. âIs thisâ are you flirting?â
Bobâs eyes narrow in confusion. âWhat?â
âI donât mind, itâs okay Bobâ you nod, eyes closing for a second before you smile, still in the haze. It feels like you could fall back asleep in no time. âYouâre finally making a moveâ
âIâm sorry baby, what do you mean?â he asks, gently squeezing your hand. The nurse told him you might not be making sense, after all.
Your head moves forward and away from where it was buried in the pillow, and your eyebrows lift as you blink in confusion. âBaby?â you repeat slowly, like youâre testing the word, how it rolls off your tongue. It sounds funny in your mouth, then your eyes narrow suspiciously at him. âBob.â
âYeah?â he answers carefully.
âWhy are you calling me baby?â
Heâs not sure what to answer for a second â heâs not sure whether he should be amused or worried that youâre confused like this. âYou donât remember?â he asks quietly, frowning.
You squint faintly, like youâre trying to put the pieces together, eyes roaming over his figure like it will help you figure it out. âRemember what?â
His heart sinks to his stomach so brutally it almost hurts. âOh,â he breathes. He knows he shouldnât be taking this so seriously, because he had been warned you would be out of the loop â confusion, memory gaps, disorientation â but he didnât actually expect it to be that bad.
âDid I forget something important?â you ask, genuinely concerned now as you watch his reaction, which somehow makes it worse. Your worried expression brightens abruptly again, shifting to something else entirely. âWaitâ did we hook up?â you ask excitedly.
âWhat? Noâ I mean, yes? Not justâŚâ he lets go of your hand to rub his own over his face. âGodâ
Your mouth opens in shock before turning into an amazed smile. âOh my god,â you gasp. âWe totally hooked upâ
His cheeks warm up and his hand rubs over his eyes tiredly again, but he canât help the smile over his face. âOkay, listen.â he shifts closer to the bed, hand resting over yours again, smiling when your gaze flicks to where they meet when he does. âYou and I, we are datingâ
âNo weâre notâ your head shakes. âYouâve had a crush on me for likeâ months and weâve been weird around each other for so long and you would combust before asking me outâ
He laughs, head tilting to the side. TouchĂŠ. âOkay, I guess that was true at some pointâ he nods, pinching his lips. âBut weâve moved past that.â
âReally?â
âYesâ he nods, a chuckle escaping from his mouth. âI love you and you love me⌠Iâm pretty sureâ
âOh my godâ you whisper, eyes flicking around the room, trying to piece it back together now that you have the information. Your eyes land on him again. âSo we⌠Kiss? On a regular basis?â
He chuckles, a bright, rich sound that reminds you why youâre in love with him. Something you couldnât forget. âYeah. We kiss.â
âOh,â you whisper, blinking like youâre trying to chase the fog of your brain to remember it. âThatâsâ thatâs greatâ you nod, a smile slowly growing over your face, finally allowing yourself to believe it all, despite how it all seems too good to be true. You stare at him for a few seconds too long, like your drugged brain is trying very hard to put puzzle pieces together but keeps dropping them. Your smile fades into a frown when you pull away from his touch and busy your hands picking at the skin around your nails, a small pout and the threat of tears brimming your eyes. âBob itâsâ itâs really cruel if youâre lying just to make fun of meâ you declare, voice quiet and throat tight. âVery fucked upâ
His mouth gapes and he backs away for a second, an appalled and slightly panicked expression over his face. âI would never do that to youâ he assures, getting closer again and reaching for your hands. You let him take them, gaze back on him. You look like youâre about to cry and he feels terrible. âI swear.â
You donât say anything for a moment, watching as he holds both of your hands, the warmth of his touch strangely familiar now that you think about it. His thumb caresses over your knuckles and you look back at him, your chest tightening when you see the genuine affection he holds when he looks at you.Â
âTo be fair you do look like youâre in love with meâ you admit. âSo Iâll believe youâ
He snorts a laugh and nods like heâs just been granted forgiveness, a more relaxed expression over his face.
âHow long have we been dating?â
Bobâs eyes flick back to yours. âNot long,â he says. âA few months. And I was the one to make a move, for your informationâ he insists, eyebrows lifting, a teasing smile as he tries to lift up the mood.
You frown, inspecting his face. âReally?â
âMhm.â he approves, trying not to laugh at your reaction. âI knocked on the door to your room one night and kissed youâ
âOh,â your eyes widen immediately and you let go of his hands to adjust your position a little better in the bed, like the sentence alone has jolted something awake in you more effectively than the anesthesia ever could, like things are finally getting interesting. You bring your knees to your chest and hide your face into your hands, letting out a drawn out whine. âOh my god, I wish I could rememberâ you wail, hands sliding down your face in despair.
âYou will.â
âBut Iâm scared I wonât, what if I just donât?â you whine again, face dropping in distress, a frown etched onto your face. You look like youâre going to tear up again, and despite how much Bob empathises, he feels horrible that he canât help but smile at the situation, doing his best to hold back and not laugh.Â
âSweetheart, youâre so, so highâ he whispers, brushing the back of his fingers against your cheek. âI donât even think I have ever been that highâ he says with a small smile â he most definitely has been, but he needs you to feel better, so for this exclusively, he will lie. âThe anesthesia just needs to wear off. You will remember. I promise youâ
He looks sincere, and it's the only thing you have for now, so you choose to believe it. âOkayâ you mutter. Bob can practically see the gears turning in your head, and he knows youâre trying to make sense of it all, desperately searching through the parts of your brain holding those memories. He also knows youâre tiring yourself out trying.
âYou should get some more restâ he advises, hand brushing your hair back.
You nod and blink, making yourself comfortable under the sheets again, positioning yourself onto your side, facing him. âIâm so sorry I donât remember.â
He tilts his head so he can look into your eyes, a soft smile over his face. âThatâs okayâÂ
Your eyelids grow heavier each second but you fight it, one last question burning your tongue. âCan I ask you something?â
âOf course, babyâ
âAre you always this nice to me?â
He smiles. âI tryâ
âIâm really lucky, thenâ

Summary: Bob can sometimes get easily flustered when he is given romantic attention. So, what else can you do but overwhelm him with loud 'mwah' kisses as he laughs.
Notes: I will always try to make them as 'reader' friendly as possible and avoid any physical details. Let me know if any slip in. I think I managed to make this one without even mentioning the readers gender or sex!! I hope you enjoy
Sometimes you found yourself staring at him, wondering how someone so tormented could be so soft and absolutely pathetic. That wasnât all he was, of course, he was also a little shit that purposely pushed buttons with that lopsided grin of accomplishment. But to you, to you, he was the sweetest thing on earth. You felt your heart twist and unwind at that endearing expression on his face, at the utter pathetic cluelessness that he seemed to embrace so well. You wanted to hold him close forever, tightening around him like a snake until no one else could get close.
Your hand was tracing through his hair, lightly pressing your nails against his scalp and dragging in a delicate performance. His head was tilted back against your abdomen, his ribs cradled between your thighs and his arms resting over them. He was content. Basking in attention like it was something that could be taken away from him any day now and he wanted to remember the taste of it. He wasn't even watching the film, the light casting a glow across the bedroom with hues of warmth. It was forgotten, plain as that. Nothing more than background noise to his own comfort. "You alright, baby blue?" you murmured softly, not wanting to break the trance.
There was a soft humming noise, something that tried to acknowledge your question but too caught up in the labyrinth you created through his hair. It was sweet. Sometimes you wondered how someone so lethargic and languid could be considered dangerous. This pathetic man? he was made of clouds and soft grins that pulled up more on one side. How this, this, could become anyone else was an impossible request to conjure. You gently, very gently, remove your hands from his hair and the attention it provided to his scalp. Instead, your fingers moved down towards his cheeks and stroked the soft skin in circular motions. "I swear, you could have been a cat in another life."
Blue came alive under the words. His eyes opened with a lopsided smile, staring up at you with enough warmth to have your belly swelling up with affection. "Yeah?" he laughed lightly, a short and uncomfortable sound. "That's nice," there was a slight wheeze as his laughter dropped away.
Leaning forward and tilting over enough that it pulled at your lower back, your lips pressed against his forehead. His skin was warm beneath the soft slopes of your mouth. It was comforting how warm he always felt, even though the man was constantly wearing sweaters and the like, probably the most comfortable dressed person you had ever met. A quiet 'mwah' followed. A light pressure wrapped around your wrists, not removing your hands from cradling his face and drawing soft shapes on his skin, but just making connection. Bob signed beneath you, shifting slightly with his arms now raised above his head. Soft, you thought once again with a smile. "Such a gentle boy," you murmured and pressed another to his forehead. A louder 'mwah' following. He made a soft snorting sound this time, his fingers digging in slightly but still not pushing you away. "Don't..." he mumbled, barely audible and lacking any real displeasure towards your display. âStop babying me.â
"Mwah," you kissed him again, a little lower that was closer to the bridge of his nose. His eyes scrunched shut, smile broadening despite how he started to squirm. "Youâre my baby blue. I will baby you as much as I want. Now, let me love you," the words fell without thought, not caring that... well, you had never used those words but it wasn't an 'i love you' so it was fine, right? "C'mere," you kissed him, peppering kiss after kiss upon his warm skin as he twisted and squirmed on the bed as his laughter grew along with the flustered hue that crawled up his neck to the tops of his ears. "Mwah, mwah, mwah," you kept leaving a path along his face, starting to laugh with him as you shifted into a kneeling position. "Stay still!" you laughed, holding his face firmly as he tilted his head back against the bed and laughed even louder, an almost low sound that filled the room. It was the first time you had ever heard him laugh so much, a sound that you never wanted to end.
He chuckled against your affections, allowing himself to be attacked with the softness of your lips. "Stop it!" For a moment, reality started slipping away from him, all except the feeling of his heart lurching with every kiss. Between the gentle caresses, the playful pinching, and shoving, you had managed to climb atop him. Straddling his lap as he kept one hand raised, as if to push you away if you came back for more. He was still grinning, head tilted back with that endearing expression on his face that gave way that happiness was a full body experience for him. You relented, hearing how heavy his breathing had gotten from laughing. "Stop," he repeated breathlessly, unable to fight his amusement. "No more."
"No?" you tilted your head slightly for just a second before straightening back up, and then grasped his hand to intertwine your fingers. It was enough, you knew that. "Okay, no more."
Bob let his attention drop to your intertwined fingers, the way they rested over his blue sweater, on his abdomen. He blinked quickly, those little flutters that happened instead of one blink. It was endearing, as if he had forgetting to blink for too long and was making up for it. You noticed it a long time ago, how he blinked around three times and quickly. Thatâs what you had found yourself focusing on, but he was sure you could feel his breathing, how stuttered it got because of you. "I never thought I would be this happy, you know?" he spoke softly, almost wistfully after some moments of quiet that settled. "Have... a family, an unconventional one, at best-" you smiled down at him, but he was just grinning to himself, lost in his head. âItâs nice having people.â Then he lifted his other hand, spreading his fingers apart in preparation before you lunged out for him. He exhaled through his nose when both your hands were linked together with his own, almost a laugh or maybe just collecting himself, and his eyes trailed up towards your own again, and you could see how happy he was. For a moment, you stared at him; at the flush dusting his cheeks with warmth, the way his mouth was open was just a little like he was about to say something. There was a bit of drool on his bottom lip, that lingering side effect from withdrawal that he hadnât yet got through and perhaps never would. He looked so soft. You wanted to lick his bottom lip, collect the saliva with a teasing grin, but it wasnât the right action for now.
Laughter started to slip away, a slow loss as if sand was falling from between your fingers. You shifted slightly on his pelvis, lifting your intertwined hands and shaking them playfully. Bob stared up at them, as if mesmerised by the sight, his fingers clenching against your own. "I like seeing you happy," you told him, pinning his hands on either side of his head and then leaning down and presented a kiss upon his mouth; familiarity teased through the casual way you took your time to capture his bottom lip in a languid embrace. The dampness on his lip was what you wanted. His fingers tightened against your own, not pushing or trying to slip away but clenching to let you know he was there.
When you pulled back an inch, Bob followed after you. You relented, pressing back down and capturing his bottom lip, sucking on it gently. He tasted of coffee; the kind he would order and sit in the penthouse while reading. Bob hummed slightly, the slight vibration caused you to break into a smile before taking your time to run a couple of soft pecks against his mouth. "Mwah," you couldn't help but make the sound softly, smiling against Bob when it caused him to break into a grin. "Stop it!"
