Jeremy Renner & His Characters One Shots

The Proposition - JR

"Babe?" Jeremy calls out to you from the kitchen.

You had just gotten out of the shower and were getting dressed for work. You and him had been seeing each other for a few months, but have been keeping it on the down low. He wanted to keep it out of the press for your safety mainly.

"I'm coming, give me a second." You call back to him as you pull on a pair of jeans.

You had been working at a local bistro while you worked towards your RN. It had been a struggle balancing work, school, and now this new relationship. He had been working a lot on his new show and spending every minute he got with Ava, but when he had spare time he would fly to see you. Which was more than you expected.

"I was thinking last night and I wanted to run something by you." He was standing in front of the stove making what smelled like an amazing omelet.

You walk into the kitchen pulling on your work shirt. Stepping over to him you wrap your arms around his waist and kiss his cheek.

"Oh? And what's that?" You say as you open your laptop checking your emails.

He turns away from the stove for a second watching you sitting there. The light from the screen lit up your face exposing the bags under your eyes. A slight frown pulled at the edge of his lips.

"I know it has been hard for you to juggle everything. I was wondering if you would let me help?" He pulls the pan off the stove and serves the food onto two plates.

You look up at him with a quizzical look. "What do you mean?" You slowly close the laptop as he hands you your plate, then takes the seat next to you at the table.

"I mean, you are exhausted. You barely have enough energy to function and I don't want you breaking before you get to the end goal." He takes a bite of his omelet and looks at you giving you that cheesy grin he knows will make you smile.

"That's just life, J. We all have to work hard to get to what we want." You start to eat your food but he grabs your hand.

"Honey, I'm wanting to take some of this burden for you." He looks over into your eyes and you see the sweet sincerity on his face.

"I don't understand what your asking." You set your fork down and turn in your chair to face him.

"What I'm asking is, would you let me pay for your school and expenses, so you can focus on everything you need to be the best Nurse?" His hand was gripping tightly over yours.

"WHAT? Why?" You pulled your hand back but his grip caused his hand to follow yours.

"Because, I want to. And call me selfish, but I want to have you less tired when I see you. The last few times I've been here you have passed out within the first couple hours of me being here." He laughs before realizing the shocked look on your face was not changing. "It's just a suggestion. I'm not going to push you into anything you don't want."

"So you want to pay for my school?" You whisper out looking down at his hand still gripping yours.

"I want to take care of you. Cause I L-" He cuts his sentence short as he pulls his hand away turning back to his food.

"Go on" You watch him as his whole body language changed.

He sets his fork down and turns back in his chair grabbing your hands in his. "I know it's only been a couple months, but I like where this is going. I want you to know that I want nothing but you." He pulls your right hand up to his face, kissing the back of it, then placing it back down on the table. He looks deep into your eyes, with a hint of red flushing on his cheeks. "I love you. As cheesy as that sounds, but I want to be with you and only you."

You leaned back in your chair as those words flowed through your ears. He loved you? This was always like a hidden get away for him. And you never complained because it was Jeremy Fucking Renner! Why not have some fun while you were busting your ass trying to get your degree?

"Babe?" He was staring at you as your eyes drifted back to meet his. "What do you say?"

"I love you too." You breathed out.

He stands up fast pulling you to your feet. Wrapping his arms around you he picked you up swinging you around in circles.

"You are perfect!" He whispers into your ear as he sets you back down on your feet. "Now, I think you should call out of work and spend the day with me."

"I think I may just do that." You whisper back as you lean into his kissing him.
