The sunlight seeped through the windows of their penthouse apartment. Large windows were the one thing Kaylee really had a preference on, knowing that Jason preferred something more homey. But it wasn’t the enticing freedom of the sky that beckoned her awake this morning. No, rather the tune she had set their alarm to the night before echoed around the room. She rolled over into his arms, nuzzling close to him, red locks obscuring her face slightly as she pressed her lips gently against his. 

Kaylee had an entire day planned for them. Granted it was also Uncle Steve’s birthday but the thought of dragging him to a superhero function made her innerwardly roll her eyes. It was the first birthday for either of them that they were dating, and she was going to make it worth his while. Enough that she asked him to keep his mind from reading hers just to make sure she could surprise him.

Softly she hummed the song, completely out of tune, having lacked her father and her sister’s gift of music. Still, Kaylee didn’t care, the smile the spread across her lips as she playfully rolled her hips against his more joking than not.

i. The first kiss was heated, a crash landing of lips meeting. There was fire in it. Almost anger as just moments before their voices had been in a dangerous dance of spite and sarcasm. It was just easier to direct her anger at him than face the real demons that had her head spinning and for once, in all the time she’d known him, he challenged her in return. The charge between their lips was electrifying, that sickly sweet taste of whiskey on his tongue sent her reeling. It threatened her sanity, and she couldn’t tell if it was the desire to drink herself or the intimacy that came with his lips against hers but she broke away, hands hurriedly undressing him instead. 

ii. The time between the first kiss and the second was longer than one would expect for two people living up to the friends with benefits standard. Their time together was for one purpose, and yet, Kaylee found herself staying longer after each time. There was something safe and comfortable with him. Every time she was with him, the world slipped away. The irony when he woke up as if the entire world had invaded his mind, screaming so loudly it pulled her out of the peace he brought her in the first place. She shot up, taking his face in her hands, tilting his chin to look at her. The haunting look in those beautiful brown eyes told her that he needed a stronger pull to bring him back. Cautiously, she pressed her lips to his. Her light grip on his chin soften as her hand moved to cup his cheek. Ray, I’m right here, she cast out thoughts, hoping it would be enough to pull him as her lips lingered softly against his. come back to me 

iii. The third kiss was his smile against hers, followed by a pained whimper. She was still injured from the battle that almost claimed her life, but it was hard to feel anything but joy in this moment. Jason’s presence was more than just to check on her, he had news. Kaylee had to fold her lips together to keep from beaming when he told her he’d broken off his relationship with another woman. She had to make certain but the moment he admitted it was because he wanted to be with her, Kaylee flung her arms around his neck kissing him between giggles before the wound in her side cut her breath off. He promised to keep those light kisses coming though provided she behaved herself.

iv. The fourth kiss was a desperate plea to make him understand. Her hands gripped his shirt, begging him to listen despite no words being said. She loved him, but he was so concerned the emotion was not her own. She could feel him pull away, trying to stop himself from what he wanted, trying to keep her from doing something he wasn’t completely sure she wanted to do. She reached her hands around his neck, pressing her forehead against hers. There was fear in her grasp that he would block her out, that he’d sacrifice what they had on the off chance history had repeated itself. “Jason, I love you.” she told him, eyes shut tight desperately hoping he’d let her explain. “I know it’s me. You might be able to project the emotion in me but you can’t fake the reasons. I love you, I love the things you hate about yourself. Even now you’re trying to pull away from me to protect me. And I love you for it.”

Happy could have easily called the young man, but this wasn’t the kind of conversation he wanted to be easily brushed off with the click of a phone. He knew how Jason felt about him. The telepath never hid his disapproval, even if he had given a pressured blessing. But there was more than just the Becks with Happy as an outlier. 

No, there were two little girls and another kid on the way who were getting caught in the crossfire. Happy couldn’t stand by and do nothing. Not when his daughter was crawling in his bed at night asking questions far beyond what she should be worried about.

Sororities were not Kaylee’s scene. She was on a fast track double major and spent almost all of her free time as part of an extended internship at Stark Industries. Some might call it nepotism, but considering she was always destined to take over the company, the board and Aunt Pepper let it slide. And now her internship lead her to the opposite coast, away from her family and friends, so when she got the invite to an Alpha Delta Pi party she couldn’t pass up the chance to blow off some steam.

Dressed in bright green boy shorts and a Captain Marvel t-shirt a size too big, Kaylee was ready to rock this supposedly tame slumber party. The base of the music thumped loudly as all of the young women danced, shouting Don’t threaten me with a good time at the top of their lungs.

The loud laughter and music was starting to draw a crowd on the lawn of the sorority house and suddenly it became less of a slumber party and more like something out of Animal House. Who cared? Kaylee was throwing caution to the wind tonight. Besides, in a place like this she was just another pretty blonde. The odds of someone recognizing her were low.

Delighted laughter brightened the house as more and more people filtered in and Kaylee smacked her own behind in beat to the song before twirling around practically running into a familiar face.

He’d grown taller, but those soft puppy brown eyes were impossible to mistake and Kaylee’s eyes grew wide, shouting his voice incredulously. “RAY!?”

The hope in Jason’s voice and eyes was evident, even if Happy could see it falter. Sophie warned him that her brother would not be near as accepting as she was, but that didn’t matter much. Happy hear the boy’s words, and caught the fact that there was not a no in his statement.

❤: who is more affectionate in public? in private?

Kaylee is extremely affectionate all around. She is more likely to be openly and obviously affectionate with kisses and hugs that rate from G rated middle school pecks, all the way up to X-Rated bitches get a damn room, and everything in between. Ray on the other hand, is more subtle but it doesn’t make his affections any less. A light touch here, a guiding hand at the small of her back there, a small smile with his fingertips brushing softly across her arm. And both can show these signs in public or in private.

♡: who is the bigger romantic openly? secretly?

Okay okay hear me out. Ray being the bigger helpless romantic. It seems odd because Kay is the kind to just on a whim take off on a vacation to a beach villa, but there’s a difference between her just getting fed up with work and needing a break and thinking “Ray likes the ocean we’ll do that it’ll be fun.” and Ray who actually thinks about things to do and surprise her with to show how much he adores her.

❥: who is more likely to plan something big for valentine's day?

Hmmm neither??? Like I kinda see both of them being like “It’s just a Hallmark day we don’t need a day on the calendar to treat each other to a good time”

ღ: who is more likely to initiate hand-holding in public?

Kaylee, most likely because she’s dragging him along because something caught her attention and she’s just excited and takes his hand so she doesn’t run off without him

💕: who is more likely to make huge declarations of love in front of other people?

Kaylee. She not only has very little shame or things that embarrass her but given that Jason often questions why she’s with him I think she’d be more likely to make huge declarations than him. Unless some shit went down.

💘: who developed a crush on the other first?

HAHAHAA Jason been in love with this girl since they were teenagers. Awkward boner attacks and all. And she was goddamned oblivious -facepalms-

💝: who spends more time (possibly overthinking) what presents to get the other?

Kaylee. Ray can read her goddamn mind and know exactly what to get her that she’ll love and even if he doesn’t do it SHE would be like “THAT MOTHER FUCKER CAN READ MY MIND WHAT CAN I DO??? Other than remember his favorite romcom and set up a 50s drive up car theatre for us to watch and then get lost making out...hmm I wonder if he still has his letterman’s jacket I can definitely get a cheerleaders outfit. Yeah that could work. I think he’ll like that.”

💓: who initiates most physical contact?

K A Y L E E. Do I really need to go on? LMFAO

💌: who is more likely to send cutesy texts to the other?

Okay but Ray probably sends her cute ass texts all day long just because he knows she’s always busy and stresses way more than she lets on so he probably sends her cute ass texts just to kinda cheer her on, especially if he knew it was going to be a particularly stressful day for her.

💟: who spends time reading their zodiac compatibilities?

I don’t think it’s Kaylee. (lmfao even though I as the mun do it on her behalf) but I’m not sure Ray would??? It might be neither?? OR WOULD IT BE RAY???

💙: who is more protective?

Kaylee. She’s the hero. She’s the super powered one. It’s not only in her moral code to protect but it’s also in her DNA. It’s what she does, and what she’s done since she was 3 years old with a little brother. The issue that arises is that often both Ray and Kay forget that she is not indestructible and Kay will push herself beyond her limits. When that happens, and Kaylee is down for the count, hurt, and in danger, best watch out fuckers because that telepathy power ain’t no joke and you’ll see a side of Ray rarely seen.  

💚: who tends to get sick more often? who is better at taking care of the other?

Ray. Again, Kaylee’s super powers make it where it’s very hard for her to get sick and she doesn’t hang out with the Kree enough to get space flu. That being said, Ray is not hard to take care of, not only can Kaylee easily manhandle him, he’s probably totally fine with her taking care of him because he adores the gentle kind side of her who just likes to dote and help people. Kaylee on the other hand is the W O R S T when it comes to being taken care of and Ray is one of the few people who can do it. He calms her down, not just because of his powers but just him in general. His gentle disposition and ultimately kind nature matched with his people pleaser syndrome makes Kay weak and putty in his hands. XD

💜: who said "i love you" first? or, if neither has said it yet, who is more likely to say it first?

Kaylee said it first. Jason doesn’t believe it’s love. With his powers, even though he can sense her emotions he believes it’s his own projection. Kaylee not only is the first to say it but she follows up with how she knows. 

💛: who believes in soulmates?
