Oblivious, Somehow

(gif credit: wheelersdealer)

Synopsis: While hanging out, you learn that Steve was unaware of your feelings for him regardless of the fact you’ve told him straight to his face (or: Steve is oblivious and you are shocked at how someone can be so unaware).

A/N: RAHH i’m so sorry this took so long, i got a job and it’s been taking up a lot of my time but i’ve been slowly working on this. it’s more of a drabble than a whole fic (me when i lie) but i hope you still enjoy🫶🫶 (low key i struggled so hard but i hope it’s not a disappointment💀)

——————————————————————————————————

If you were completely honest, you don’t know the hell you got to this point in the conversation with Steve.

You had decided to stop by the Family Video during your lunch break from work to see your friends. Upon entering the building, Robin was scrambling to get her things and leave.

“Hey…what’s got you in such a hurry?” You asked curiously with a small smile. You noticed Steve standing behind the counter as he sighs.

“She’s panicking about her girlfriend,” he answers. You assumed this has been going on for a while.

“She’s not my girlfriend!” Robin squeaked out, nearly out of breath and her face flushed as she pointed back at him, “Vickie called earlier and-and wanted to hang out-”

She stops herself while turning to face you, inhaling a concerning amount of air in less than a second before continuing.

“-but I don’t know what kinda ‘hang out’ it is! I mean what do I say what do I do-?!”

You grab her arms and place them by her side while giving her a look.

“Robin, take a breath. If you keep psyching yourself out you’re gonna end up having a meltdown.” You tried to get her to calm down. You then switch your gaze to Steve who had been uncharacteristically quiet during this whole exchange. He notices the change of attention and his eyes meets yours with a slight shake of his head, almost like he was spaced out.

You widen your eyes for a second and nod your head in Robin’s direction hinting at him to say something. He gets the hint while letting out a quiet ‘oh!’ as he clears his throat.

“Robin it’s gonna be fine! It seems likes she’s been liking hanging around you lately, so maybe she’s tryin’ to hint at something.” He offers with a small shrug. He’s been telling her this for nearly half an hour but they’ve gotten nowhere with it.

At his statement you look back at Robin, “See? Everything is going to be fine, you just can’t self sabotage yourself okay?” You tell her, “It’ll be fine.”

Robin slowly starts to nod while thinking, “Yeah, yeah you’re right! I’ll be fine! Why am I even worrying?” She lets out a nervous laugh as she grabs her bag. “Okay wish me luck, Steve are you sure you’re fine with closing yourself?” She stated more than asked.

He waves her off. “Robin I’ll be fine, besides I’m not the only one here.” He gestures to you standing next to the counter. You give a thumbs up and a smile.

“Okay, I’ll tell you how it goes!” She yells as she walks through the door. The store is silent now with just you and Steve inside. After a few beats of silence, you let out a quiet snort. Steve turned his head to look at you after hearing your laugh. He furrows his eyebrows and gives you a confused looks, “What’s funny?”

Still laughing a little you shake your head as your eyes remain closed before finally speaking.

“Nothin’, it’s just funny,” you laugh out. Steve’s head his facing you still, but his eyes look away and back at you trying to figure out what you were laughing about.

“What?” He asks again, growing more confused.

After calming down you let out a breath and look over at him, smiling a little.

“It kinda just reminds me of when I told you I liked you that one time.”

Steve’s eyes widen as he nearly chokes on air hearing your statement. After gaining his breath again he studies your face for any sign of joking.

“I’m sorry- what?”

It’s now your turn to look at him confused. You furrow your eyebrows as your eyes dance across the room for a second before settling on his figure.

“What?” You repeat back to him. What was with him right now? “Why are you freaking out?”

“You like me?” Steve asks completely floored. Well, more of a startled shout but regardless this was clearly something he didn’t know about.

“…yes?” You answer, finding yourself feeling confused as well.

“Since when?!”

“This isn’t new information, Steve!”

“Yes it is because I didn’t know!” He exclaims. He starts pacing while running his hands through his styled hair. “You can’t just drop that bomb on me.”

“What do you mean you didn’t know?”

Steve stood in front of you, his eyes wide as he opened his mouth to respond but no words making their way out. He threw his arms in the air and shrugged, his confusion now extremely visible.

“I don’t know! Why are you freaking out about this right now?” He responded, a hint of panic evident in his voice.

You just stare at him, disbelief morphing on your face not knowing whether to laugh or scream at him.

“Like I said,” you begin with a pointed and impatient tone, “this is not the first time I told you so I don’t know why you’re acting surprised.”

“You’ve never told me!” Steve squeaks as he says your name. He kept staring at you, and honestly it looked like there wasn’t a single thought behind his eyes.

Oh boy.

Shutting your eyes you took a deep breath in and out in an attempt to compose yourself. Eyes falling onto him once more, you move closer and lean on the counter.

“A few weeks ago, I was leaving your house because we had a little movie night. Robin couldn’t show up so it was just us,” you start explaining. Maybe if you described the night then it would ring a bell…but that was wishful thinking at this point.

“And..I don’t know I kinda just thought there was- something happening I guess?” Your statement sounded more like a question, suddenly feeling waves of embarrassment flood through your body. You look to gauge Steve’s reaction but find him staring at you intensely. He sees this and gently motions for you to continue.

“But anyways, as I was leaving I got this urge to blurt out what I was feeling. So I did-”

“I had a lot of fun, Steve.” Interrupting you, Steve begins to recite what you told him with an ‘aha’ look on his face. “And I just wanted to tell you that I really like you and hope we can do this again.” He finishes as he looks into your eyes.

“You left before I could respond,” Steve quietly says mimicking you and leaning on the counter. Your faces were suddenly closer together than they ever had, and made your breath hitch quietly.

“I really couldn’t tell if you meant that in a ‘friend’ way or a ‘more than friends’ way,” he air quotes with his fingers. He suddenly laughs a little, his brown eyes softening and looking at you.

“I guess now I know.”

You smile at him, heart swelling. Maybe you jumped the gun, after all he was right; you didn’t give him time to respond.

“I’m sorry, I probably should have followed up on it,” you sheepishly rest your face in your hands. “So now that you know, is it a good thing?”

Steve reaches his hand out to yours and gently pulls yours away from your face. Hands intertwined he brings them both up to his face and rests them on his cheek, his gaze never leaving yours. It almost felt like there was a buzz of electricity flowing from your hand to his own. As if everything fell into place and made sense.

“It’s a good thing.”

“What do you mean you didn’t know?”

Steve stood in front of you, his eyes wide as he opened his mouth to respond but no words making their way out. He threw his arms in the air as he shrugged, his confusion extremely visible.

“I don’t know! Why are you freaking out about this right now?” He responded, a hint of panic evident in his tone.

You just stare at him, disbelief morphing on your face not knowing whether to laugh or scream.

“You didn’t know that I like you? Steve this is not the first time I’ve told you.” You were exasperated. There was no way you were having this conversation.

“You’ve never told me!”

“Yes I have! The words I like you came out of my mouth like weeks ago!”

He kept staring, and honestly it looked like there wasn’t a single thought behind his eyes.

Oh boy.

Fearful Confession

(gif credit: bisexualrights)

Synopsis: You have been through it all with the Mandalorian and his son, forming an unbreakable bond and friendship. But your relationship changes after a close call with a bounty.

Warnings: Typical Star Wars violence/injuries, minor angst with comfort, arguing, fluff, no use of y/n, first person pov

Author note: PRAYING this isn’t too similar to anything else someone’s written before, this came from a dream i had LMAO😫. enjoy <3

———————————————————————————————————

The Razor Crest was silent, which was unusual.

Typically, there was plenty of noise echoing throughout the old ship. The babbling of the kid while he played with his metal ball, my laughter while watching him mess with trinkets, and an occasional quiet huff of laughter from my armor-wearing companion. It was peaceful, and it was home; Our home.

But right now, it’s tense.

I sat in the co-pilot seat, looking down at the worn floor of the cockpit while only being able to hear the tiny sounds of space surrounding us and the heavy beating of my heart. From the corner of my eye I glanced at Mando trying to gage what he was feeling, but to no avail. Even though I’ve grown to know him for a while, it was still hard to read him. Especially now.

I shift my gaze out the window, debating whether or not I should say something. I slowly reach my hand up to the bandage on my cheek, wincing a little at the contact. The pit in my stomach only worsened at the thought about what happened to cause the small injury, as well as the tense atmosphere that was suffocating me.

Realistically, I shouldn’t have jumped into the fight between a bounty and Din. He had it under control, as he mentioned the whole way back to the ship, and I was supposed to be watching the kid (He was safe in his pram with the cover over him). What made me jump in was seeing the bounty pull a knife when Mando wasn’t looking. So I intercepted the blow…which in return gave me a fun little knick on my cheek. Mando was able to knock him out and bring him to the ship, but after a huge lecture that consisted of yelling and arguing he began to ignore me. He put Grogu to sleep and made a beeline towards the cockpit.

So now we’re here.

I studied Mando as he punched in coordinates and flipped switched, the Razor Crest taking off. The tension was heavy, it felt like he could hear my thoughts. He was really making it difficult for me to speak up to finally break the silence.

“I’ve just put us into hyperspace. You should go rest, it’ll take us a while until we land on Nevarro,” Mando curtly said while he began lifting himself from his chair. He moved fast towards the ladder, making it hard for me to create any sort of response. I finally swiveled in my chair to face him to try to clear the air.

“Mando-“

“Don’t.”

And with that the door slid shut behind him.

I sat there, stunned and dumbfounded at his response. What the hell was that?

My brows furrowed as I nearly jumped out of the co pilot chair and went after him. I climbed down the latter and saw Mando cleaning his blaster. I slowly approached where he was sitting.

“Mando can we please-“

“No.”

“Would you stop interrupting me and just let me talk to you?”

Mando paused what he was doing, lifting his head so his visor finally faced me. I felt myself wanting to shrink at the sudden attention.

“Go ahead,” his tone was serious while making me question whether or not I really wanted to talk anymore. I took a deep breath before speaking.

“I know what I did was stupid,” I started while my hands began to shake a little, “and I should have known you would handle it-“

As I was speaking Mando placed his blaster on the small table next to him and began to stand up and walk around. I paused my apology, giving him a weird look.

“Are you even listening to me right now?” I questioned, frustration creeping up on me. When I didn’t get a response I began to follow him.

“Mando I’m trying to apologize and acknowledge my screw up, why can’t you just accept it?” I asked while he turned his back to me. I saw him shaking his head as he sighed, but no answer came from him. My small frustration was slowly growing into something more for each minute he ignored me.

I scrunched my nose as I tried to get his attention again.

“Hello? Am I talking to myself?” Another sigh. Without turning to face me he finally spoke.

“I don’t think you understand how stupid what you did was.”

At his words it felt like my heart sunk while my stomach began to eat itself alive. It felt like talking to a wall. My frustration came back as I took another step towards his back, waiting for him to finally acknowledge my presence.

“Don’t you think I know that? I panicked, Mando. I got ahead of myself and jumped the gun, you can’t say that has never happened to you-“

He spun around as he pointed a finger at me, “This isn’t about me!” His body was visibly tense as he spoke. “This is about you and how you can’t seem to handle intense situations like the one we faced today.”

I stared into his dark visor. There was a beat of silence, just as I took a breath before speaking he beat me to it.

“You need to stop getting a head of yourself and let me do my job.” Mando tried to end the conversation at that and began to walk away.

As if it was possible, my stomach began to hurt more while my heart felt like it was going to implode. I had to be dreaming. What was going on with him? I stood there for a second before time began catching up to me as I was quick to follow once more.

“Let you do your job? Are you even hearing yourself right now? I’ve apologized well over a million times and acknowledged my mistakes, what else will it take for you to forgive me?” I nearly begged him while seeking an answer. I wouldn’t stop until he spoke to me.

“Din, please-!”

“I shouldn’t have let any of this happen!” He finally snapped as he faced his body towards me, both of us breathing heavily. Letting his words sink in, I gave him a confused look before he continued.

“I shouldn’t have let the bounty get that close to where you and Grogu were with the ship. I was cocky and thought everything was fine until he tried to pull one over on me,” he explained, almost exasperated.

“Din,” I softly called his name, “what do you-“

“Because of my choices, you had to jump in because I was too focused to see the knife he pulled, and you got hurt because of it. I got you hurt,” Din’s voice began shaking subtly, but it was enough for me to catch it. I slowly began making my way towards him until I was almost touching his chest piece. I gently grabbed his gloved hand and placed it on my bandaged cheek as Din stilled at the action.

“I’m okay,” I softly assured him. His hand cupped my face as his thumb rubbed the bandage. He shook his head.

“But it could have been worse,” he was quick to deny, “I should have just used my comm and asked for help. I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself if anything happened to you or the kid.”

Din placed his other hand on my face, holding my head in his hands as his visor didn’t leave my eyes.

“I wouldn’t be able to live without you, cyar’ika.”

My breath hitched at his words as my eyes widened. I brought my hands up to his helmet and gently pulled him towards me as I made our foreheads rest against each other.

“I swear to you,” I whispered while closing my eyes, “that no matter what I will always be here. You can’t keep convincing yourself that if anything happens that it’s automatically your fault, it’s not good for you Din.” I moved my thumb back and forth on the cool beskar where his cheek would be.

“I wouldn’t be able to live without you, either,” I said sincerely. His helmet lifted from my head to look at me. I gave a small smile at him before continuing, “which is why I need you to rely on me when you need help. We’re a team, we have to work together okay?”

He took in a shaky breath before slowly letting it out.

“Okay. Just please try not to put yourself in danger if you don’t need to,” he nearly begged while holding me tighter. I laughed at his words while looking at him, adoringly.

“I promise.”

Trust Me

(gif created by me)

Paring: The Riddler x reader

Requested by @yourcaptainkira64 :

“Hello, can I request a paul dano riddler fic if you write for him. Tropes I like are forced proximity and friends to lovers. Maybe even a yandere riddler of you're up for that (because he's kinda crazy). Lol happy writing!

Warnings: Themes of obsession, stalking, swearing, mentions of injuries, forced proximity (?), hints of one-sided love, friends to lovers, no use of y/n, first person pov.

Note: My first post! I hope that this is okay, I’ve only seen the movie like twice so I hope this fits your request😅 I also just googled riddles so I’m sorry if they’re kinda stupid LOL, enjoy! <3

———————————————————————————————————

The nights were long, and seemingly never ending.

Crime, murder, vengeance; The city of Gotham was the birth place and home to the bad seeds and the innocents, though nowadays it was difficult to differentiate the two from each other. If you’ve lived here as long as I have, you learn to never trust what someone claims themselves to be…no matter how well you know them.

It was nearing 3am at the Gotham general hospital, marking the twelfth hour of my shift. An attempted store robbery turned shootout nightmare landed twenty-three people in the hospital; no fatalities, but a few close calls. Originally today was an off day for me, but we’re understaffed and the crime rates are rising once more.

But then again, what’s new?

I slumped back into the old chair in the empty break room, reflecting back on my night. Hour after hour of running from room to room while the police are breathing down your neck isn’t the easiest thing to deal with, but someone has to get it done. I love what I do, honest, but there’s times where I question myself…but then again doesn’t everyone?

I drag hands down my face as a half-hearted attempt to rid myself from the pure exhaustion taking over my body when I heard my phone ding. I sigh as I lazily reach for it from the pocket of my scrubs and unlock it, as a small tired smile reaches my face.

It was Edward. He’s been my friend since I made the move to Gotham from where I used to live. We’ve gotten close over the years, while many say he’s…different-I find him kind.

It wasn’t out of the ordinary to check in on my while I was at the hospital, but it was a little odd that he was up this late. I opened the message to see what he sent.

Huh.

It was a photo of the sky. You could barely make out some stars peaking out from behind the stormy, smog ridden clouds- but they were there. Typically, Edward would send a little joke or something like that while I was at work but scenery pictures were new. I began to type a reply when suddenly he sent a follow up message.

Edward: What blooms like a flower whenever it rains but shrivels up when it stops?

I scoff out a small laugh. A riddle, what else would I have expected. On most days I love trying to solve his riddles, but tonight drained me of any energy I had left to try to solve it. I sent back a poor attempt of an answer as I gathered my things and approached the entrance to leave when my phone went off once more.

I slowed down to look back to my screen and upon reading the message, my body began to feel a sense of…something.

Edward: An umbrella. Make sure to use the red one outside of the entrance, it’s there specially for you. Get home safely.

I reread the message twice while looking around the almost empty sterile halls that surrounded me. I slowly approached the automatic sliding doors as my ears picked up on the heavy pelting of rain hitting the concrete. The flickering outdoor lights provided an eerie ambience as my eyes jumped from left to right until-

Ding!

Edward: To the right is where you’ll find what you need.

My heart spiked as I whipped my head around in all directions, observing. He had to be here, how would he know?

“Edward?” I quietly called out.

No response.

My chest begins to feel tight as a newfound feeling overcomes me. Something I had never felt before around Edward.

Fear.

Eventually, the lights stabilize themselves for long enough for me to notice the splash of red contrasting against the wet sidewalk. I drag myself over in the direction of it, making sure to be aware of my surroundings as I pick up the object.

An red umbrella, the one from his message. I was frozen in place. In the moment, this didn’t feel like a simple act of kindness. It felt scary; like a dream where you know it will become a nightmare at any given second.

“What the hell?” I whisper, voice shaking.

Suddenly, there was a startling bang to my left as I felt my legs move on their own. I began running as fast as I could, dropping the umbrella in my moment of panic. The only thing I could think of in that moment was the desperate urge to be safe in my apartment until the sun rose.

By the time I reached my place my heart was nearly beating out of my chest as water dripped from my face as I locked the door. I couldn’t breath, I couldn’t speak, and I couldn’t even put together a coherent thought. I let myself shut my eyes for a second before clumsily reaching for the light switch to the left of me and flicked it on. I peeled my eyes open as I adjusted to the light, when I stopped breathing at the sight before me.

Spread across my living room were pictures of me. Everywhere. Pictures of me going to work, me sitting in my living room, even me out on a coffee date with a guy my friend set me up with. My throat was dry as sandpaper as I tried to swallow my fear and walk closer. My legs shook like jello and it felt like I could feel my bones rattling inside my body. I slowly reached my hand towards a picture as I brought it to my face to examine it.

It was the coffee date image…except red marker was aggressively scribbled over my date while a big circled surrounded my smiling face, drops of ink spilling down to the bottom of the picture. I dropped it as if it was on fire as I backed away. I continued examining my apartment when I spotted a light yellow envelope on my coffee table.

I picked it up and turned it around, it was addressed to me with a smiley face next to it. I ripped the envelope open and reached my hand into it, pulling out the contents within.

It was a card?

“Okay..” I breathed out, feeling a little relieved. There was a picture of a caricature heart on the front with the words: what is mine that only you can have?

I tried to think, but my mind was foggy with unease. I opened the card.

My heart <3

I began to inch backwards, trying to calm down. This couldn’t have been from him, no it was too..too crazy. Edward wasn’t crazy! He was a sweet guy who worked in forensics and liked stupid jokes and riddles. He wasn’t capable of-

My back suddenly made contact with something behind me as I loudly gasped and flipped around, heart sinking in my chest down to my churning stomach.

A green figure loomed over my shaking body, eyes burning holes through my head as we stared at each other. I couldn’t see the intruder’s face, but I knew those eyes anywhere.

“Edward?,” I shakily whispered, seemingly stuck in my spot. My brain was screaming at me to run and get out of there, but my body was stuck in place like my shoes were glued to the floor, “what..what are you doing?”

He called out my name as he reached out to me. He placed his green faux leather covered hand on my face, moving down to caress my cheek. I should have ran, but I couldn’t help but feel my stomach flip in some weird way.

“You made it safely,” he said, smiled evident in his muffled voice. His eyes were squinted happily from behind his clear framed glasses, “I was worried about you when you didn’t take the umbrella I left you.”

He paused as his piercing gaze subtly hardened as he continued looking into my eyes.

“Why didn’t you take it?”

My breathing began picking up again. I hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

“Edward-“

“NO!” he suddenly yelled as he backed up, pacing around the open space of my living room. My heart stopped as my body jerked at his sudden outburst.

“I tried to help you! I’m looking out for you so no one else needs to, why can’t you just see that?”

He stopped his pacing as he came back over to where I was stood. He, surprisingly, gently grabbed my arms as he looked back into my eyes.

“That’s all I’ve ever wanted; For you to be safe with me. No one else,” he said with a forceful undertone to his voice.

I felt tears making themselves known in my eyes, and the burn of my nose trying not to cry. I was terrified, but at the same time comforted by his words.

“Are you going to hurt me?” I whispered, not wanting to say the wrong thing.

His eyes seemed to soften as his grip loosened on my arms, but still keeping me in place.

“No,” he said while repeating my name, “no no why would you think that? All of this is for you! I would never dream of hurting you, you mean too much to me. I care too much about you to let you slip away from me.”

Oh.

He…cares about me. I should be scared. I should be terrified out of my mind and screaming for help, praying someone will answer. Or that the signal would light up in the sky and I would be saved.

But I didn’t feel afraid from his words.

I sniffled as I scanned up when down his body, examining what he was wearing and then back up to his eyes. I slowly reached for his glasses and mask as his body stilled while I revealed his face.

Edward. It really was him.

I looked at his face in silence before finally speaking.

“You won’t hurt me?” I quietly asked, “I need to know if I’m in danger, no matter how much I know and trust you.”

He suddenly had a dark look in his eyes as my words. He cupped my cheeks in his hands as he leaned in close to my face.

“I would rather die than cause you any harm.” he answered, “Trust me when I say that I will keep you safe from anyone or anything that tries to hurt you.” He paused and leaned in closer.

“I would kill anyone who even looked at you the wrong way.”

He moved his face next to my ear.

“You have my heart, and I know that I have yours.”

My breath hitched at his words. He was right. Edward always made me the happiest whenever I was stressed, especially at the hospital. But could I bring myself to love him when this is his true self?

He pulled away and looked into my eyes once more. It felt as if he could read every thought going through my mind.

“Just let go and let me take care of you, let me love you,” he begged, a desperate look in his eyes, “that’s all I ask. Please trust me.”

I couldn’t look away. I gave a small smile and a hesitant nod, and that’s all it took.

“Okay,” I whispered, mind racing a million miles a minute.

“I’ll trust you.”
