You were absolutely the most important person in Adrian’s life. After the whole butterfly incident the team went their own ways, even Peacemaker left Evergreen, again. That left you as the only person in town that he cared for. He just…had to work up the courage to actually talk to you!
But not now. Maybe the next time you came into the restaurant. You liked eating there, he noticed. In fact, he noticed a lot about you. It was easy; you were a creature of habit. It meant that even if he couldn’t watch out for you in person, he knew where to find you.
Like right now, you should have been at home, in your pajamas and cuddled up in bed. But you weren't home.
He cursed under his breath and jumped off of your balcony. He had to retrace the steps of where you should have been!
Luckily you were just a block from your apartment complex, but rage filled his core as he saw a man twice your size slam you into a wall, one hand around your throat while the other moved down where he couldn’t see.
Faster than he could ever remember moving, he pulled the man off of you, your gasped coughs only adding to his anger, and shoved him to the other side of the alley.
“Close your eyes for me love.” He growled out as he raised his gun at the man, only hesitating a moment to let you close your eyes.
You did not.
You could not.
You watched as he pulled the trigger, bullet bursting through the man’s skull sending blood and flesh and brain matter across the red brick wall. Brick red and blood red were so different. Neon against the darkness of night.
As much as your mind tried, you could find no pattern in the goopy, stringy, mess slowly being pulled down by gravity. It wasn’t until another shade of red, brilliant and gleaming, obscured your sight did you gasp for a breath you didn’t know you were holding.
Vigilante filled your senses, your eyes locked onto his red visor, he smelled of gunpowder and oil, his voice was pleasantly low, not deep and booming and intimidating, but low enough that his worried words (what was he saying?) were able to cut through the temporary tinnitus.
“Shit,” he mumbled under his breath when you didn’t respond to him a third time. And only because you were worth it, you were worth everything to him, he pulled off his mask and gently cradled your face in his hands, calling your name in hopes of snapping you out of this daze you were in.
“Adrian?” You whispered, shocked, as your eyes locked with his.
His eyebrows scrunched up in the cutest way. “You know who I am?”
Of course you did, he was only the man you were harboring a major crush on. Some people might even consider you a stalker, for all the times you showed up at his work place just for a glimpse of him. Fennel Fields was mediocre Italian food, at best! But you eventually figured out his schedule and couldn’t help but eat there twice a week, just to stare at him. A little creepy, but how he fueled your dreams!
“What the fuck are you doing?!” You snatched the Vigilante mask out of his hand and shoved it back over his head. “You can’t let the cops see you like that!”
Sure, you knew he was Vigilante, but this was the first time you had actually seen him kill someone. You were grateful for that, you didn’t want to think of what your attacker would have done had Vigilante not shown up.
You then grabbed his hand and started to drag him away from the murder scene and towards your apartment.
Vigilante stumbled a bit, “uh, you’re not freaked out?”
“That you saved me? No.”
You decided not to tell him that you often took unnecessary risks with your safety because you were pretty sure he was always following you. He didn’t need to know that you knew his secret. “Thank you for that, by the way.”
“Oh! You’re welcome!” You could hear the smile in his voice. He had such a sweet voice, you’d only ever heard it in passing before, but aimed at you it somehow sounded brighter.
“Are you trying to take me home?” He asked, like he didn’t know where you were leading him.
Right on cue policed sirens echoed through the night and you picked up your pace. “Just until the police go away.”
“Smart.”
It only took a few more minutes before you were pushing him inside your apartment.
Now that he was inside, and the risk of other people seeing him gone, he pulled his mask off again and put his glasses on. “How do you know my name?” He circled back.
“How do you know my name?”
He coughed, “it’s uh, my super power! Yea! I’m really good at guessing names!”
…
“Me too.” You blinked, biting your lip to try and hold back a grin.
“You have a super power?” His little gasp was cute. “I mean, I have a superpower because I’m a superhero. But-”
“Do you wanna fuck?” Now that you had the man you’d been crushing on for weeks in your home and an excuse to keep him here, you might as well go for it.
“What?” He immediately dropped his ramble, eyes going wide and jaw slack as he processed your question.
“We probably have some time to kill while the cops-Mmh!”
He practically lunged himself at you, hands gently but firmly pulling your face to his, crushing his lips against yours as he swallowed the rest of your words.
Adrian really didn’t care what the rest of your sentence was going to be, all he knew was that the one person he’d been dreaming for months was offering to fuck him! He wasn’t going to let this opportunity go!
