“Hey did you hear me?” phoenix asked looking out of the side of her eye.
When she got no answer she turned to look at (Y/N) whose room she was getting ready in. She asked again but the girl was in her own world. Finally she opted for walked over and putting her hand on her shoulder. (Y/N) looked up and smiled like she hadn’t heard a thing.
“You didn’t hear me?” Phoenix said with a raised eyebrow.
“No?” (Y/N) asked confused “I’m sorry what did you say?” She continued
“Are you coming with us to the hard deck?” Phoenix asked again. In some way she already knew the answer.
“No sorry you have fun but I’m tired.” (Y/N) lied through her teeth effortlessly.
Phoenix gave her one last look before walking out (Y/N)s door and to her car. When (Y/N) was sure she was gone she got up to look in the mirror. It was no wonder Phoenix believed the lie. (Y/N) really did look awful. The bags under her eyes had grown long and dark. Her skin was pale like she was getting sick. And to be honest she hadn’t slept more then a few hours since the day of the accident.
Rooster was off on a simple mission. There really shouldn’t have been any problem but things were never that easy. He caught enemy gun fire and was forced to eject. (Y/N) never remembered being that scared before. When rooster was rescued he had a hairline fracture in his leg. He was completely fine other then the typical bumps and bruises you got from ejecting.
But because of his leg he was out for a few weeks. (Y/N) couldn’t be more worried. She realized she had been standing in the mirror for longer then she thought and backed up deciding to go for a walk. She walked around the base aimlessly. She had no place in mind to go so she just walked.
“(Y/N)?” Someone called from behind her.
“What are you doing out here?” Maverick asked when she turned to look.
“Oh um I don’t know” (Y/N) said as she look at her surroundings.
“(Y/N) what’s going on? You look like you haven’t slept” maverick asked.
(Y/N) just shrugged
Maverick sighed and said “You should talk to him”
(Y/N) blinked in surprise “What do you mean mav?”
“This is about rooster right? You need to talk to him and don’t hold anything back” maverick said.
“How did you know?” (Y/N) asked.
“You’re never like this until roosters involved. I’m surprised I’m the only one who has noticed” mav chuckled.
(Y/N) sighed in relief knowing that not everyone knew. She said goodbye to Maverick and walked towards roosters room. If anything she should at least check on him. She reached his room and raised her hand to knock. She hesitated for a moment but eventually did it without talking herself out of it.
There was no noise on the other side for a moment. (Y/N) felt relief bubble up inside of her as she turned to walk away. Then the door suddenly swung open. On the other side rooster was struggling with his crutches. Looking as if he was about to fall over (Y/N) quickly put her arms out to support him.
“My hero” rooster said laughing as he finally was able to stand straight up.
(Y/N) suddenly felt like it was a bad idea to come here. She felt like she couldn’t even speak or even breathe.
“What’s up (C/S)?” Rooster asked before looking up at her. “Oh god (C/S) you look awful when was the last time you slept?” Rooster asked alarmed.
“Thanks that’s what every girl wants to hear.” (Y/N) said with a slight role of her eye
But roosters wasn’t laughing. He looked deadly serious.
“(C/S) don’t joke you look like you haven’t slept in days!” Rooster almost yelled.
“No more then a few hours in the past few weeks actually” (Y/N) let slip.
She hated that. She hated that rooster had the effect of making her say what she didn’t want to. Which included telling him the truth.
“Why? What happened (C/S)?” Rooster said.
(Y/N) just shrugged. She couldn’t tell him the reason. It would ruin everything between them. And she loved him to much to let him go.
“Don’t give me that (C/S)! You know what aren’t you telling me?” Rooster yelled.
(Y/N) knew that he was just worried but when he yelled she wanted to cry.
“I can’t say!” (Y/N) yelled back.
“What you don’t trust me?” Rooster yelled
“No it’s because-“ (Y/N) stopped herself. “I just can’t say”
“Fine then why are you even here? If all you wanted to do was worry me then there’s the door.” Rooster said attempting to storm out of the room but once again struggling with his crutches.
“Please don’t be mad…” (Y/N) said trying not to cry.
There was silence in the room for a moment. (Y/N) had no idea what to do. If she just apologized and left then maybe they could fix things. But if she told him everything then there was a chance she could loose him forever. (Y/N) suddenly felt movement behind her. Then as fast as the crutches would allow him to move rooster was in front of her.
“Here…” rooster said handing her his signature sunglasses.
“I don’t understand?” (Y/N) said a single tear she had been fighting back falling from her eye in the process.
Rooster swiped it away before saying. “When your nervous you never look me directly in the eye. But maybe if you had these it would be easier”
(Y/N) came to so many conclusions at one time that when she slipped on the glasses (that in turn slipped down her nose) she knew what she needed to do.
“I love you” (Y/N) confessed.
“Well I love you too (C/S) now can you tell me what’s going on?”
“No rooster I mean I love you. I have since nearly the day we met. And I always worry but this last time I couldn’t hold it back. I worry so much I can’t sleep. I just-“ (Y/N) was just off by a pair of lips on hers.
The kiss was sweet and a little sloppy just it was perfect in (Y/N)s book. The butterflies in her stomach erupted she knew it was true love.
“I love you so much (Y/N) I just thought you could never feel the same way” rooster said
“Me? Bradley I thought the same of you” (Y/N) said.
“I like that” rooster breathed out while going in for another kiss.
“Like what?” (Y/N) asked.
“Call me Bradley I like the way it sounds when you say it”
(Y/N) spent the night sleeping in Bradley’s bed. She thought it must have been the best sleep of her life. She finally felt content. She still worried but now she knew at least she could kiss the worry away.
