Getting to Like You

The more time Rooster spent around Hummer the harder he fell for her. In the weeks leading up to their first mission together all his time was either spent in her presence or thinking about her. Unbeknownst to Y/n he had begun teaching himself sign language so that in the event they were out and she wanted a hearing break she could still communicate with him if she needed to and vice versa. The mission itself was successful, they were to fly air cover for a friendly aircraft carrier moving through some potentially hot territory. Everyone had came home safely and there were no major malfunctions to speak of. In the days following the team still had dinner together for 3 of the 4 days, having gotten so use to being around each other that not seeing each other felt strange. Bradley had invited Y/n over to his house in the evening for dinner after spending the day on the beach with the others.

She arrived at his front door right on time and knocked, smiling at the sight of him appearing in the now open door. He smiled back in return taking in the sight of her wearing black Nike shorts and an oversized black hoodie,
"Hey B." He stepped back to allow her into his living room,
"Hey Y/n, hope you didn't get too sunburned today?" She chuckled back as they sat down on opposite ends of his couch,
"Not too bad, just a little on the shoulders." He nodded,
"Same here. Hey I have something for you wait right here, you want a drink?" She scooted back into the corner of his couch making herself comfortable,
"Beer?" He nodded and walked into the kitchen, coming back with a gift bag and a bottle of beer. He held out both items to her and seated himself back across from her. She took a long drink out of her beer before turning her attention to the bag in her lap. She dug inside and removed the contents, breaking into a wide smile as she realized what was inside. From the bag she removed a large throw blanket that was black with white bats on one side and a color inverted version of the pattern on the other side. Her mouth fell open in excitement as she ran her fingers over the soft material.
"Roo this is perfect, I love the black and the bats and it's not even..." he interrupted her to finish her thought,
"Not one of the scratchy material blankets that you can't stand. I spent a good while in the store feeling all the blankets and when I saw that one I knew it was perfect for you. I know you say you always wish you'd had a blanket to take with you when you deploy, now if you ever have to you'll have one." He had looked down at his lap in the middle of his explanation and was met with the sight of tears welling in Y/n's eyes as he looked back up at her. When he gave her his classic half smirk that quirked up one corner of his mustache is when she lost all self control and threw herself across the couch toward him, smashing their lips together. He was in shock for a split second before wrapping his large hands around her hips pulling her to straddle his lap, letting them rest there after pulling her closer to his chest. Y/n felt like she couldn't be close enough to him and had her hands resting carefully on the sides of his face. They allowed their lips to part so they could pant to catch their breath as they looked deep into each others eyes. At her nod Rooster stood with the small girl in his arms, making his way up the stairs toward his bedroom but not before stopping against the wall outside to pull her hoodie up, allowing his hands to roam around the exposed skin.

Once in his bedroom he carefully crawled up the bed with her, laying her down underneath him and hovering above her.
"We...we don't have to if you don't want to...just say the word and I'll stop right now.." she looked up into his hazel eyes that were almost black from lust and in that moment she had never been more sure about anything. Without saying a word she reached up to his Hawaiian shirt that was hanging open between them and used both hands to pull him back fully on top of her. The two took their time undressing each other, caressing each new part of skin that was exposed. Even though it wasn't the first time for either of them, it might as well have been thanks to the passion in which they made love to each other way into the early hours of the morning.

When he woke Bradley rolled over and was met with a sight that almost made his heart stop. Y/n laid with her long hair draped all over the pillow partially in her face. They had decided to shower together very late the night before and he ended up taking her against the wall of the shower one last time before getting cleaned up and dried off. He had given her one of his T-shirts and she had quickly fallen asleep when she laid down, wrapped in his arms. Coming out of his thoughts Rooster reached over to her, carefully brushing her hair back from her face and allowing the back of his hand to brush along the soft skin of her cheek. She stretched in her sleep and slowly her eyes slid open, smiling at him laying beside her.
"Good morning beautiful." She reached out and rested her palm against his bare chest,
"Morning B." He leaned down and pressed a kiss to first her forehead, then her lips. She chuckled as he pulled her so she was laying on top of him, nuzzling her face into his neck. He ran his hands up and down her back, the touch of his fingertips causing goosebumps to rise on her skin. She turned her head slightly to press light kisses against his neck, quickly escalating to full open mouthed kisses against the warm skin there. At the first brush of her tongue against the sensitive spot at his pulse point he let out a low groan,
"Mmm baby..." he stiffened suddenly as he realized what he'd allowed to slip out in his distracted state,
"Say it again...I like it when you call me that..." she pressed more kisses against his neck, moving to allow her teeth to lightly graze against the skin of his shoulder. She smiled at the breath that caught in his throat both at the new sensation and her admission,
"Baby do you even realize what your doing to me?" he pulled his shirt up her body so he could put his hands at the tops of her thighs as she sat up, still on top of him.
"Oh you haven't seen nothing yet Bradshaw, I'm nowhere near finished with you..."
