Bradley Bradshaw X Reader

Bradley Bradshaw x Reader

Your hands slightly shake as you walk into the Hard Deck. Bradley has asked you to meet him there to introduce you to the others. Your eyes immediately begin searching for him through the crowd of aviators and you make a beeline towards him when you finally spot his tall frame.

“Bradley,” you call out. He turns around and flashes you a bright grin. “Hey honey,” he responds while wrapping his arms around you. He’s the first one to pull away to get the attention of the others. They turn their heads toward you and Rooster, their eyes landing on you quickly.

“Everyone, this is my partner Y/N.” You send them a small wave and nervous smile. The one you assume is Jake walks over and introduces himself. You can feel Bradley tense up and gently take his hand in yours, softly running your thumb over his knuckles. The others quickly come up after Jake and start introducing themselves.

After the introductions finish, you find yourself in a conversation with Hangman and Phoenix. Bradley is playing a game with Fanboy, so he can’t join the conversation. Hangman and Phoenix are quick to tell you embarrassing stories of your boyfriend from when they were on deployments together which causes you to giggle. You feel Bradley’s eyes glance over at the three of you and you send him a bright smile. He finishes the game and walks over to you, giving you a gentle kiss on the forehead.

“What’s so funny, sweetheart?” He asks. You giggle and bring your hand up to rest on his chest. “Hangman and Phoenix are just telling me some stories from some of your deployments.” He groans and his face flushes pink. You laugh and kiss his cheek.

The rest of Bradley’s friends join the conversation. You spend the next few hours with them, swapping stories and getting to know each other. Bradley watches you quietly with a soft smile, occasionally kissing your hand, earning a kiss on the cheek in return. Eventually, everyone starts to head home and the conversations start to die out.

You and Bradley are the second to last out of the group to leave. The two of you share your goodbyes with Jake before heading out.

“Did you have fun tonight?” He asks on the drive home. “I did. Everyone was super nice and welcoming” you respond with a smile. He softly grabs your hand and kisses it, making your smile widen. “I love you honey.” “I love you, too sweetheart.”

By the time you got home, both of you were ready for bed. Neither of you wasted time before getting into pajamas and climbing into bed, falling asleep soon after.

Thank you!
