“you’re never gonna regret this ray!”

If the boredom hasn’t left and you’re still taking requests, may I please request a cute, fluffy Egon x f!reader fic where the reader is like a foot shorter than him (definitely not based in real life or anything 😅…)? I don’t really have any specifics for the plot itself, so you can go however you feel with that tbh. Thank you so so much!! 😋💞

Jump for It - Egon x Short!F!Reader

A/N : Hello! I had a fun time writing this and I hope you enjoy it. The end might be a little out of character for Egon, but I just needed to find somewhat of a conclusion with also making it super cute. 

Also to anyone reading, please keep the requests coming! I’m having so much fun writing them!

Being the only female ghostbuster was hard. Being the only female ghostbuster who was also almost a foot shorter than her colleagues, even harder. The boys being taller than her was a no brainer, most of them were over six feet tall, but even Janine, who was a petite woman, was a few inches taller than Y/N.

The proton pack looked like it was constantly swallowing her as she busted ghosts around New York. She often had customers asking her if she was alright when she answered the call. Don’t even get started on Venkman.

“Hey shortie.”

“What’s up short stack?”

“How’s the weather down there?”

Were all things she heard on a daily basis. Today was no exception. Y/N was sitting upstairs in the lab, working beside Egon. He was scribbling down something as she filed paperwork. Peter walked in to make a pot of coffee. He tapped her gently on the head as he walked by her.

“How ya doing today, Y/N? You look like you’re having a hard time reaching the top drawer, need me to grab you a step ladder?” Peter said, smirking.

“Nice to see you too, Venkman.” Y/N grumbled.

Peter started the coffee maker and waited for it to finish. He leaned on the filing cabinet, looking down at Y/N. She was struggling to place a file on the top shelf, even on her tip-toes, she couldn’t reach it. Peter snatched the file from the top, waving it above her.

“Jump for it, little fishie.” He smirked.

Just as she was going to humiliate herself by jumping, a large pair of hands took the file out of Peter’s hands. She turned around to see Egon looming over her, he was glaring at Peter.

“That’s enough, Venkman.” Egon said seriously.

Peter raised his hands defensively, “Yeah, yeah. You two are no fun.”

He walked out of the lab, forgetting his steaming coffee. Egon looked down at Y/N and gave her a gentle smile, he handed her the file.

“Thank you.” she blushed.

“It’s not a problem, Venkman can be a little obsessive with the jokes and teasing sometimes. I should know, he called me ‘Brainiac’ and ‘Four Eyes’ all throughout college.” he said.

She hopped up on the counter and sat down. “You know, sometimes I wish I wasn’t so small. I mean, it’s bad enough that I sometimes get carded at bars, but you guys are huge compared to me. It’s not like anyone will take me seriously standing next to you.”

Egon leaned next to her. “I take you seriously, besides, I like that you’re smaller than me.”

She looked at him with wide eyes, and then smirked, “You like that you’re taller than me, Egon?”

His eyes widened a bit, and he looked around the room, trying to appear normal, he did not. He cleared his throat before speaking, “I never said that.”

“True, but you said that you like that I’m smaller than you, which in turn means, you like that you are taller than me.” Y/N quipped back. He stuttered, trying to think of a rebuttal. Y/N hopped off the counter and stood beneath him, her hands placed on her hips. She looked at him innocently before asking, “Tell me Egon, why do you like that you’re taller than me.”

“I’m, uh, I don’t know why, I just do.” he said, his cheeks getting redder.

Y/N shrugged, “If you say so.” She began to walk away, but was pulled back by Egon. He spun her around and leaned down to give her a quick peck on the lips. They pulled away, looking at one another in shock. Y/N smiled and reached up to kiss him again. Egon had to lean down, but felt it was awkward. So just as their lips met, he wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted off the floor gently so they were at the same level.

Someone cleared their throat at the doorway, Egon practically dropped Y/N to see who it was. Peter stood in the doorway half in shock, half in amusement.

“I was just coming back for coffee.” He said. He pushed past the two blushing adults to pour a cup. Just as he was about to leave, he turned to them and said, “Does this mean I’m gonna have to knock before I enter any room you two are in? And I’m personally hurt, Y/N, I thought I would be your first pick.”

Y/N rolled her eyes.

“Well, I’ll leave you alone then. Don’t have too much fun, I’m not ready to be Uncle Pete.”

Peter left the room and Y/N looked back at Egon, who looked shocked by his own actions. She smiled at him, “Is that why you enjoy our height difference so much? The fact that you have to pick me up to kiss me?”

Egon smiled down at her, “Perhaps, or maybe that it’s easier for me to do things like this.”

He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on top of her head. He smiled at her and began walking back to his desk, “Come on, I’m gonna need some help with the next part of my work.”

“Hold on, just let me grab that file.” Y/N said, beginning to grab it.

Egon snatched it before she could grab it. He held it above her head and smirked, “Come on, jump for it little fishie.” he said, mocking Peter.

To his surprise, she leapt up and grabbed it no problem. “Do that again and I’ll climb you like a tree, Spengler.”

Happy day two of Halloween! Today is one of the more famous of the 1984 Ghostbusters terror dogs, Zuul. As a kid, I loved these friggin things, and I really would have loved one as a pet. I still would, if I'm being honest. They were easily my favorite creatures in the entire movie. Done in acrylic in my sketchbook
