In love with the idea of captain marvel being Billy's imaginary friend. Like, it'd be so easy. Early depictions had them as almost fully separate people sometimes, like one soul with two minds, rather than just two filters like we mostly see now.
But imagine a Billy down on his luck, hurt and hiding from police and criminals alike, daydreaming the hours away as children do, taking inspiration from all the superheroes rising to fame, making little stories to play out his dreams of saving the world with a generic action doll he found while dumpster diving once. Most of the paint's rubbed off.
Red's his favourite colour, his comfiest jumper is a bright ruby even after all the grime and washes. Gold, too, it's shiny and warmer than silver! A hero cape is a must, big and eye catching! And he can fly, of course, like superman, and in his daydreams, when he's sore and frustrated after a long day's grind, his superhero is smart enough and knows all the right words to get the bullies to stop without resorting to fighting.
His superhero fantasy is one he spends a lot of time on, the first one he goes for when struggling to sleep at night, and he can picture it so clearly. Captain marvel is big and bright and kind, strong enough to lift the boxes for the old lady up the road who's moving all by himself, fast enough to catch Jamie who fell out of the tree on Saturday and broke his leg and couldn't come to class for weeks. He appears at the entrance to alleys when Billy is cornered, he steps up behind to cover for him when he gets caught shoplifting, he sits at the bus stop with him when it's pouring rain and the right bus doesn't seem to be coming.
And then the wizard comes, or rather whisks him away, and like a magician from a fairytale breathes life into his imaginary friend until Billy feels thrice his size and a million times more invincible.
From then on, captain marvel is a real hero, just like Billy is a real boy, and as one they save the whole city, and then the whole world, and get cats down from trees and help Mrs Victoria move the last of her boxes and she gives them a pinch in the cheek and cookies for the road and sometimes it hurts but it's so much better than he imagined.

cons of dating ran:
you have to clean up after him
you have to love him as much as he loves himself, if not More
you have to feed him sweets when he gets in a Mood
you have to live in constant fear of embarrassment of the things that come out of his mouth
will put rindou first before you im so sorry. u will always have to live with the knowledge that his family is his most important and most valued thing
he's not exactly jealous but he is clingy and melodramatic just to watch you squirm
good luck navigating his mood swings
good luck x 2 trying to tell if he's being serious or messing with you
he doesn't date for marriage so good luck x 3 getting him to that stage
guy who says "sorry i didn't reply i was asleep (for 14 hours)" but actually means it
you have to compliment him constantly. he's not insecure he just likes his ego stroked.
either join his pranks or be the victim of them. you will still be pranked but at least when you join his schemes you can redirect his mischief to someone else instead.
not afraid of commitment but you have to keep him entertained/be interesting to him as a person or he'll get bored and move on without remorse
pros of dating ran:
he buys you things bc he loves to pamper his favorite people and see them dressed in stuff he got for them 🩷

angrily realising/remembering my ideal clint&natasha dynamic is they're both aroace in slightly different ways (as in, clint is 'it did not even occur to me i was '''missing out''' until i made sane friends who kept asking' and nat is 'sure sex is fun but so's a lot of lower effort stuff and Why Would I Want Someone In My House') & they're each other's Person but that does not equate to them living together or what have you & it is because both of them are trauma response the whole way down but that doesn't mean it's bad sometimes you just have to work with what you've got. the anger is because maybe three people are on my wavelength here
