Jacob
She watched as Jacob lay on the scooter, rolling himself under the raised car. He clanked around as he took apart the underbelly of the engine.
His arms rippled with muscle as he worked; his shirt became taut as he mindlessly flexed and moved.
Her arms subconsciously moved to her own shirt, feeling how loose the fabric was. She knew her own arms would never be as bold with muscle and her clothes would never feel as tight. She could barely fill in what she wore now, using belts to keep pants up and layers to conceal how thin she was.
She was getting that faraway look, her lips falling into an unattractive frown. She hardly noticed when Jacob wheeled his way to the surface.
“Hey, could you hand me that tire?” he had a smirk on his face, speaking that he already knew she wouldn’t be able to pick up the tire.
She felt incredibly weak as she made the attempt anyway, squatting down and using her arms to push a thick tire as hard as she could. Jacob sauntered over, snickering, “Don’t worry, I can do it.”
He wiped his hands free of smudges but hesitated when he spotted that frown. His brow creased as he walked over, “I was only joking, (Y/N).” He put a hand to her mouth, using his fingers to upturn her lips into an unnerving smile.
“Very funny.” She shoved his hand away, choosing to sit on the nearby workbench.
Jacob followed her, standing and meeting her at eyelevel, “What are you thinking?”
She shrugged, “I’m not feeling so good.”
He observed her distracted eyes and watched her pick at her clothes. He mentally kicked himself for making fun of her weakness when she was obviously hurting about it.
It made him hurt to think that she was.
“You know what I’m thinking?” he asked. He reached for her chin, turning her dazed eyes to his warm ones. “I’m thinking I’ve never been so in love with the thought of you.”
Her gaze cleared up considerably, “What?”
He smiled, so bright compared to his tanned skin, “I said… I’m so in love…”
She was so taken aback that every negative thought she’d had moments before was thrown out the window. “I’m going to need you to say that one more time.”
Jacob bent down, hands on either side of her and resting on the workbench. His face was incredibly close to hers, “I was just thinking how so in love I am with the mere thought of you. God knows what I’ll do with you right here.”
She could barely remember what she was upset about. All she wanted was Jacob’s arms around her, protecting her from every insecure thought she’d had before.
Sam
(Y/N) dragged along Sam’s wings, unable to lift them onto her shoulders without pulling a muscle. She was practically panting as she finally made it to the Avengers field – a wide expanse of green grass covering the surrounding miles and miles.
Sam met her there, laughing the way he did as he thought of a joke, “Enjoying the fresh air?”
“I know I volunteered to grab your gear, but you could’ve warned me it weighed a ton.”
He simply smiled, refraining from saying anything that would make her feel weak and small. “You ready for a test flight?”
“You were serious about that?”
“I thought that’s why you volunteered.” He strapped the wing pack to his shoulders, winking at her, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you fall. Believe it or not, I’ve flown before.”
She laughed, winding her arms around her waist, “I don’t know.”
He looked at her arms holding herself, “I promise you won’t snap in half – I’m strong, but not that strong,” he laughed easily, trying to ease her nerves.
“Don’t say that just yet,” (Y/N) muttered mutely, “You don’t know how thin I actually am.”
“Come here,” he said, activating his wings, “There’s something I want to show you.”
She found his capable arms grip her waist. She blushed horribly as she thought of how sharp her bones could be.
“Sorry if I poke you.”
He laughed, his wings folding out and powering up, “You planning on poking my eye out? I do have flight goggles. Real sexy.”
“No, I mean, I’m a little bony. We’re so close I… I would feel bad if I’m poking you.”
It might’ve just been her imagination, but it felt like Sam was holding her even closer now, “You kidding? I’m too distracted by the beautiful lady I’m holding in my arms.”
If her blush wasn’t evident before, it was blinding now.
And they blasted into the air, shooting for the sky.
(Y/N) would have feared she’d simply blow away, slipping into the open air and falling to her demise. She was certainly light enough to slip through Sam’s grip, but she found that his hold was definite.
It appeared there was no way Sam was going to let her go. It was a somewhat comforting thought.
They reached a standard height and leveled, flying around the Avengers campus. (Y/N) found herself laughing hysterically as her hair whipped around her face. She gripped onto Sam’s shoulders all the while he grinned.
“Hey,” he yelled over the wind, “I still wanted to show you something.”
And (Y/N) pried her face away from his shoulder to look below them, almost shrieking at the height. But just a pinprick below them was something laid out on the compounds roof. It looked like a small table with a full lunch spread.
“What is that supposed to be?”
“Our lunch date,” Sam said, “If you’re hungry after this.”
She gaped at him, a giggle making an appearance, “Ask me again when we’ve landed.”
Carlos
“I almost had them!”
She was yelling, reloading her gun and stuffing first aid into her pouches. Carlos stood on the other side of the room, still catching his breath.
“And you just had to get in the way.”
“I didn’t ask you to cover for me,” he pushed his shaggy hair out of his dirtied face.
She bristled, “If I didn’t you would’ve died!”
He was smug, “I knew you couldn’t live in a Carlos-less world.”
She grumbled, “Now I have to backtrack on weeks of work. How am I supposed to catch them now when they have a damn helicopter?”
Carlos tried to even his breathing, tossing his automatic aside. He was waiting for her to calm herself before saying something stupid.
“Thank you,” he muttered. “For what you did.”
(Y/N) slammed her hands against the barricaded door, “Maybe if I was bigger, stronger… I could’ve stopped them too.”
“You couldn’t have been in two places at once.”
She grimaced, “Maybe if I wasn’t so small,” she said, voice growing quieter, “So thin… I’d be more capable.”
Carlos frowned at that. This was about more than just the failed mission. He was slowly making his way towards her, “(Y/N), you know you’re the baddest ass I know.”
She waved a flimsy hand, still frustrated.
He stayed a few feet away as to not push boundaries, “You’ve seen what’s out there. You’ve seen how outnumbered we are. You’ve seen how few of us have survived.” He folded his arms, protective, “Just judging by that I would say you are verycapable.”
(Y/N) still refused to look at him, hating how she felt; hating how she projected it on him. “You’re infuriating.”
“But you still kept me around,” he gave her a side smile, willing her to have one too.
“I’m glad.” She hugged herself with her thin arms.
Carlos took a few steps closer, “Me too. Because a (Y/N)-less world would be the last thing I’d want.” He looked very near holding her face with his hand, but he stopped himself.
“More than a Carlos-less world?” she asked, starting to smile.
It warmed his cold frame, “I was kind of hoping we’d cancel each other out there. I want you – you want me… that way both our wishes are granted.” He waved his hands about as he rambled, “You see where I’m going with this?”
“You really are infuriating,” but she was grinning this time.
