Words: 1.5k

You woke up early the next morning, too nervous to sleep any longer. You had woken many times during the night, glancing a he clock, o see you had only slept for less than an hour a a time.
Glancing over at your window, you sighed. The sun had barely risen, and the festival wasn't for hours.
Deciding to go on a run, you jogged around the base for a couple hours. By the time you had finished, the others were just waking, sleep being wiped from their eyes as the came from the barracks to shower or find something to eat.
"You're up early." You heard a soft voice from behind you.
Turning, you saw Bob smiling softly at you as he fixed a button on his uniform. You smiled at him, feeling familiar butterflies rush through your stomach.
"Yeah. Couldn't sleep."
You saw a concerned frown cross his face "Anything wrong?"
Should you tell him? He was the one you wanted it to be all along, maybe if you told him now he'd give in, admit it. Or, it would be obvious it wasn't him and your heart would be hurt. Then you'd have to face whoever it was at the festival with that knowledge.
"Y/n?" He asked, as he took a step forward.
You realized you had gotten lost in your thoughts for too long. You smiled and shook your head.
"Sorry, just in a bit of a fog, I think I need a shower. I'm alright Bob. Good luck with your test flight."
He nodded his head and smiled as you turned to leave. But you saw the presence of worry still there. He always worried, for everyone. He was kind, and sweet, and you loved that about him. The more you thought about it, the more devastating you knew you'd be if he wasn't the one.
Bob watched as you made your way towards the locker room. Were you losing sleep because of what he had done with the presents? The confession?
He felt guilty at the thought, but hoped you would be alright with it in the end. Though his own fears of you being disappointed it was him, left him with his own anxious thoughts and restless nights.
Taking in a deep breath as the hot water rained over you, you tried to focus on your training for the day, you couldn't allow this to mess with your head, not now.
You had been able to focus on your training long enough to do well, but it was obvious you weren't completely focused. Maverick confronted you, but he could see the exhaustion in your eyes. You admitted you hadn't slept, and you knew he took pity on you. His words were stern, but not harsh.
After the training, you had a few hours until the festival. And though you weren't certain you'd be able too, you lied down to sleep. A short nap, anything that might steady you.
You were glad when you woke up two hours later, alarm blaring. Though the worry of who you might find waiting for you at the festival was heavy on your mind, you were too exhausted for it too keep you awake for long.
Rising from your bed, you looked over at the flowers on your table. Taking in a deep breath you rose to get ready. It was time.
The whole ride to the festival, your fingers were either wrapped tight around the steering wheel, or beating rhythmically in anxiety. As the lights and music of the festival came into view you felt as though you were forgetting to breath.
You had decided, that no matter who was waiting for you here, even if it wasn't Bob, you'd give them a chance. They deserved it, right?
Your body seemed to move without any regard to your nerves or thoughts. You made your way into the festival, into the crowds and you looked around. And for the first time you realized, you'd have to find them. There were hundreds of people here, where could they be? Were they even here yet?
Uncertain, you looked around, hoping they would be waiting for you at the entrance. But seeing no familiar face, you sighed.
Maybe they are waiting somewhere they would want to be?
You thought about Bob, and though you knew not to hope too much on it being him, you headed towards the ice skating rink.
You and Bob had once talked about how he would go ice skating with his cousins, and though he wasn't very good at it, he loved to watch the people skating. It was like dancing, but more elegant.
He had invited you to go with him once, but you never had the opportunity.
Approaching the ice rink, you leaned on the surrounding fencing. Your eyes scanned the crowds around you, and slowly your hope began to diminish. Until, your eyes landed on a familiar man across the rink.
Your breath caught in you throat as his eyes locked onto yours.
Bob straightend up, his eyes still on yours. He smiled softly and waved, you did the same.
Seeing him move to walk around the rink, you stepped back. Should you meet him half way?
What if he was just here for himself? What if he'd get to you and genuinely wonder why you were here. Fate isn't that cruel is it?
Your feet began moving without you really realizing. Your eyes kept catching on him through the crowds, his eyes seemed to stay on you as well.
Twenty feet apart.
Ten feet apart.
Five.
One
"Hey" he said in his familiar soft voice.
"Hi" You managed to squeak out.
"I hope it didn't take you long to find me." He said with a hint of nervouness in his tone.
You felt a wave of relief and genuine excitement wash over you. You let out a breath "So it really was you?"
He shrugged his head softly as he nodded "Yeah, I hope that's okay, and that you weren't expecting-'"
"I didn't know who to expect." You cut him off with a smile "But I was hoping it was you."
You saw surprise cross his eyes as he held back a smile "You were?"
You could hear the relief in his own voice, and it made you grin. You nodded.
"Yeah. I really was."
Smiling at each other with nervous tension between you, Bob finally cleared his throat as he looked around "Want to get a hot chocolate? I hear they're the best around."
You smiled and nodded with excitement. You had told him about the hot chocolate when you boasted to the squad about the festival.
As you walked, your shoulders brushed lightly together.
"Thank you for the flowers Bob, I love them."
Bob smiled, obvious bashfulness in his face "You're welcome. They weren't too bold were they? I couldn't find something that really expressed how I felt-"
As he started to ramble, you grinned at him, nodding "I loved them. They were perfect. And I appreciate that you looked into the symbolism."
"Well honestly, the idea of it interested me when you first told me about the fact that each flower has it's own meaning. I thought....well, I thought it might be a good idea, a good way to tell you how I felt. But...then the mission ended, and we didn't see each other for a while."
You stopped, and he stopped as well "You've...felt like this since the first mission?"
He nodded and adjusted his glasses "Yeah. And when we saw each other a couple months ago, but we both got moved on so fast, I didn't get a chance to, well, tell you."
"To tell me..." You pushed lightly, you wanted to hear it, from his own mouth.
You saw a nervous wave wash over him as he adjusted his stance "Well, to tell you that, ever since we first met, I have not been able to keep you of my mind. You are exciting, and wonderful, brave, beautiful inside and out. And I know, that if we were...together, we would be perfect."
You felt heat rise up your neck as he spoke. Perfect words you had wanted to hear for what felt like forever.
You smiled, and you saw some relief pass over his face.
"I think we would be perfect too." You said softly.
His smile tuned into a grin "So, can we be? Together, I mean."
You smiled as you looped you arm through his suddenly "We are together Bob."
Bob's smile faltered for a second with surprise before it came back wider than before.
"Good, great." He stumbled out as he looked down at your looped arms. "Let's get that hot chocolate then."
"Let's." You smiled as you began walking towards the stalls together.
"Oh, um, I took the initiative and booked us for the ice skating rink in about an hour. Since we didn't get to go last year."
You grinned up at him, excitement filling you, and you saw a smile of relief pass over his face. You gently tightened your arms around his as you continued to walk. An unfamiliar giddiness washed over you as you realized just how perfect it all worked out.

✰☆★—RULES FOR REQUESTING—★☆✰
“I love YOU.” “A horrible decision, really.”
✪ GENERAL RULES ✪
This is primarily a SAFE FOR WORK blog. Although I am willing to write NOT SAFE FOR WORK fanfiction, that is not the focus of this blog. I prefer to write safe for work fanfiction, but, if you happen to share a thought, idea, or request I'm keen on, I'll answer it to my comfortability. That being said, if it's something that in nature of being suggestive (ex. innuendos, heavy petting, and cut-offs before the actual act), I'm completely willing to write for this without hesitation!
This is also a ‘X READER’ blog strictly, as has been stated, which depicts a ‘character x reader’ relationship. I am not a shipping blog, I am a self-shipping blog. If this is not what you are looking for, look elsewhere.
If not specified, readers will remain GENDER-NEUTRAL. I am completely fine and willing to write for ANYONE, no matter physical features, mental abilities and et cetera. If I am unfamiliar with the topic, prompt or whatever else may be in the request, believe me when I say I will do research to fulfill this prompt in a way that is as accurate as possible.
✪ FORMATTING ✪
Please do SPECIFY the fandom and character you wish for me to write for. You can give me a pre-written prompt, choose from a prompt list I may reblog, or leave me to my own devices. If you want me to write something that might be seen as an ORIGINAL CHARACTER, this including a name, very specific attire or accessories, et cetera, please send it to me via DM or ask box while off of anonymous. I have no problem writing it, but I don’t want to clog people’s dashes or the tags with something not many people could relate to.
I have no problem writing gore, so request as you please. I am alright with writing polyamorous requests. I will do Female!readers, but i’m slightly uncomfortable with that. As a gender non-conforming person, it is something that i’m not too fond of, but I will write it. All I ask is that you don’t only request it. That being said, I am completely alright with writing for Male!readers.
I CANNOT PROMISE that all requests will be written. I only answer requests that I find joy in writing for. I may take a while to write requests, so give me time and don’t rush me.
✪ WHAT I WILL NOT DO ✪
Under NO circumstances will I write about any of these topics. Few may change in the future, although that is highly unlikely, so do respect and understand I will not be swayed here. I am not the blog to look at if you like these things. If you're unsure if something you're thinking about requesting is something that aligns with my rules or what I will not write, send me a DM or ask and I'll tell you.
Yandere, kidnapping, dark content, abusive or toxic relationships, suicide, non-consensual or dubious-consensual interactions, ABO dynamics, outright self-harm (I can write about scars, but I will not write about the action happening whatsoever), ‘Character x Character’ ships
