This is a nonromantic Phoenix x reader .
I walk into the Miramar public library with a feeling of sensitivity but I ignore it. I pull out my laptop, sit in the seat, and get to writing. Aside from being a WSO when I have time I like to read and write so have a few stories saved to my computer and I am currently working on one right now.
As I continue typing in the almost empty library as I feel someone tap my shoulder and I look back.
" May I help you?" I ask looking at the put-together girl in an identical khaki uniform to the one I have at home.
" I um, I was just reading what you wrote you're a good author."
" Oh, thanks. Hey, odd question. Were you called back to Top Gun to fly on a new mission?" You asked thinking because she was in her uniform.
"Cool! I'm Phoenix." She shakes your hand.
" y/c/s." I introduce. " What book are you reading?" I ask.
" Beach Read, by Emily Henry."
" Oh my Gosh, I love that book! What part are you on!" You exclaim.
" Just after the bet. This book is so good. I am not a fan of romance but my girlfriend suggested this to me and it's awesome!" She smiles.
" Yeah, I hope you continue to like it! " I smile.
" Yeah, I gotta go settle some stuff in at my apartment but do you wanna meet me at the hard deck later? Like 4 o'clock?" She suggests.
" Sounds awesome I'll see you at four."
I then keep typing on my computer but decide to put it away when I just start looking at my phone for Beach Read content and realize I am not getting anything done. I go to the grocery store, then to my apartment and I set up where I want the stuff in my kitchen. After that, it's about time to get ready and go to The hard deck. It's been a while since I've been there, the last time I did go was after our last flight when I went to train at Top Gun and now I'm being called back. I put my hair into my normal braids and head out the door.
I walk into the hard deck and immediately spot Phoenix and Payback.
" Hey, y/c/s over here!" Phoenix calls.
I then rush to the back of the bar.
" Hey, Pheonix! Oh, Payback it's been so long good to see you!" You say. You then get interrupted by a tall blondie.
" Who do we have here Phoenix?" He says.
" Bagman this is y/s/c." My fellow Pilot Phoenix says.
" Why is she here?" He says with a snotty look.
" Because I'm one hell of a pilot that's why," I say confidently knowing he needs to tone his ego down. Phoenix then high-fives me.
" We'll see about that." He smirks.
I then just ignore his antics and make small talk with Payback and Someone named Fanboy while my hopefully new friend is playing pool with a few other guys.
" So how do you two know each other?" Fanboy asks.
" We were stationed together, for about a year we were like brother and sister." Payback says.
" He was the best fake brother I have ever had that's for sure," I say and they chuckle. It's gonna be nice having Payback again for the next few weeks he has always been cool.
After that, Phoenix and I get back together and start to chat.
" Hey, how do you know Fanboy and Payback?" I ask her.
" Fanboy was my WSO when I was here a few years ago and Payback and I were stationed together early in my career."
" Ahh cool." I say " Payback and I were also stationed together a few years ago as well. I don't know Fanboy at all really but he seems super sweet too." I say and then feel a blush creep up on my cheeks. I I didn't even mean for that to happen what the heck!
" y/c/s are you blushing for one of them?" She smiles and nudges you.
"What no, I mean I guess I don't know?" I say confused.
"Hey I think I'm gonna head out now I don't wanna get wasted before tomorrow. " She laughs.
"Sounds good I was gonna head out anyway," I reply.
We then both walk to our cars and I drive to my new place.
I get out and get my keys to my apartment door and see Phoenix unlock her door across the way.
" Y/c/s? Oh my gosh, no way! " She smiles.
" I think this is gods sign of telling us were meant to be friends." I chuckle.
" Well in that case see ya tomorrow bestie." She giggles. And that night I walk into my apartment with a smile on my face feeling comforted and ready for tomorrow.
