Brian Quinn One Shots

First date

Butterflies flew around in my stomach and made me nervous and giddy at the same time. Brian would be here soon, we are going to go get some pizza and play games at the arcade. Childish, maybe. Fun, definitely.

We had been around each other for a while but he didn't confess his mutual feelings until recently.  My heart begins to race when I hear a knock on the front door, I unlock the lock and open the door. Brian stands tall with flowers in his hand and a cheeky grin plastered on his face. 

"Good afternoon gorgeous" he says as he hands me the flowers.

My cheeks are tomato red, "hi Brian, I'll be right back" I say. I fill a vase with water and set the flowers in it. Making sure to take a good sniff. 

"Ready to go?" He asks when I come back.  He wears jeans, a grey hoodie and a red hat. His hair sits perfectly under his hat and his facial hair is sharp and clean.

I take his hand and he leads us to his jeep. When we arrive at the pizza place we barely see any cars. "Oh thank god I thought it was going to be packed" Brian says. 

He helps me out and we walk inside, once we are seated at our table he orders a large cheese pizza. "Aren't we so original" I say.

A chuckle escapes his throat and his smile makes me swoon. "Jakki" he says. 

His eyes stare into mine sending shivers through my body. He places his hand on top of mine and traces hearts.  "You're so beautiful" he stares. 

I shake my head, blood rushing to my cheeks.  "Thank you Brian" I say, my smile spreading from ear to ear.  He grins and his dimples make me want to squeal.

When our pizza arrives we end up eating the whole thing, Brian of course eating more than me.  He was a big man and I loved it, he made me feel safe and secure. 

We lean back in our chairs with our hands placed over our stomachs.  A low rumbling laugh from Brian makes me giggle.  "I can't believe we ate that whole fucking pizza" he says. 

I can't help but laugh some more, Brian sets $50 on the table and we both stand up to head to the arcade.  We decide to walk considering it's only a couple blocks away. 

We walk side by side, our shoulders rubbing against each other.  I feel his hand brush mine before he grabs it and tangles our fingers together. 

This small gesture makes me grin.  "What game are you going to play first?" I ask. 

Brian scratched his chin and thinks deeply making me giggle. It's not that hard of a question.  "Probably pac-man" he says. 

I roll my eyes, "of course, the lamest game in their". Brian rolls his eyes before scooping me up and throwing me over his shoulder. 

"Brian Quinn set me down right now" I screech but it doesn't make a difference. I pound my fists into his back but he just chuckles at my weak punches. 

"Fine, pac-man is the greatest game to ever be invented" i say. 

He sighs "you know I would set you down but it's a pretty nice view up here." I can feel the smirk on his face and I can't help but grin also. 

"It's the same back here" I shout and give his ass a nice slap.  With that he sets me back down.

We reach the arcade and Brian immediately starts to play pac-man.  I cheer him on as he makes it further into the game than I had expected. 

He's been playing for almost 20 minutes now and it looks like he is going to beat the record.  A crowd surrounds us to watch as Brian runs from ghosts and eats stuff. 

He finally dies and nobody is sure if he beat the best or not.  The room is silent as we wait for the music to end.  Finally it does and the screen pops up with New High Score!  Everyone in the room goes crazy including Brian.

He grabs me by the waist and lifts me into the air spinning around as people around us cheer.  When he sets me back on the floor he pulls me close and stares at me with those chocolate brown eyes. 

People around us jump and dance and cheer but it's all zoned out when he begins to lean in.  His eyes close and I follow his lead.  His lips meet mine and everything seems to be in slow motion. 

His lips are soft and taste like honey.  When he pulls away everything goes back to normal and our crowd cheers even louder. 

Brian's goofy smile makes me giggle, he pulls me close to him and wraps his arms around me.  "You're so perfect" he whispers in my ear. 

A women comes out with a camera and asks to take a picture of Brian.  He refuses to do so unless I'm in the picture so he pulls me close and we both smile for the camera.

"That will be framed and put right above the pac-man machine" she says as she takes the old picture down. 

Brian and I continue to play games but he always lets me win in all of them.  "Ccooommmeee on Brian please actually play" I whine. 

He nods and puts quarters in the basketball game slot.  "I'm about to destroy you" he says.  We shoot at least 100 shots and we are tied at 48 made shots.  3. 2. The game counts down. 

I shoot one last shot and make the buzzer beater. "YYEEAAHHH" I yell and jump around.  Brian watches and laughs at my stupid behavior. 

"I'm going to destroy you, my ass" I tease. 

"What about your ass" he jokes and I roll my eyes in response. 

Eventually we decide it's time to head home.  Brian walks me to my door and gives me a big bear hug and a kiss on the forehead before leaving me for the night. 

I shut the door and slide down it sitting with my hands on my knees.  That was so perfect. He's so perfect.
