It’s Just Me

Bruce Springsteen x Reader

Warnings: none

Requested by Anon: Can you do a fluffy and sweet Bruce Springsteen x shy reader where they’re on their first date driving around or something simple and he tries to get her to come out of her shell a bit?

(gif is not mine)

To say you were nervous about your first date with Bruce would be an understatement. In some ways it seemed silly to be so scared around such a loving guy, but you knew it wasnt his fault. You were the nervous one, and you tried your best to hide them but unfortunately your date was starting to catch on.

The wind blew through your hair as Bruce turned down another quiet street, you had plans to stop somewhere to eat but for now you were just driving around and talking....if you could manage any words out.

"Hey its okay to be nervous yknow." His voice snapping you out of your thoughts as you turned to look at him.

Pushing your hair behind your ear, a blush spread across your face. "Its that obvious huh?"

Bruce chuckled as he kept his eyes on the road, "Well honey, you haven't exactly been as talkative as you usually are."

You felt really guilty, you knew he was right, and it was frustrating to you that you couldn't act like your normal self around him. Bruce had been a close friend of yours for years, why was it so hard now?

Bruce stretched his free hand over to grab yours, you hadn't noticed but your hand was shivering. "C'mon sweetheart, its just me. Let's act like this is just a normal evening."

Nodding your head slowly, a little smile spread across your face. He really was a special guy, maybe that's what made you so nervous. Somewhere inside of you, there was a voice pointing out all the ways you weren't good enough for him.

You don't even know why Bruce wanted to go on this date in the first time, weren't there hundreds if not thousands of other girls that wanted him. Gorgeous girls, girls that could actually speak to him?

As if he could read your mind, Bruce spoke up again. "I asked you out for a reason Y/N..." His thumb gently caressed your knuckles as he spoke. "I enjoy being around you, you're a wonderful person, and not to mention beautiful."

You could've died as you felt more heat migrating up to your cheeks, but he continued speaking. "I've never had so much fun with someone like I have fun with you Y/N."

"Oh Bruce...." You replied in a soft whisper, "Stoppp you're just saying this shit because I'm being such a downer."

The car came to an abrupt start, the low hum of the motor was instantly turned off. Gazing around you tried to figure out where you but it was pitch black except for the car's lights.

"C'mon now, let's just talk like normal. Have I told you about this song I wrote?" Flashing his warm smile at you as the wind blew his curls over his eyes.

You shook your head, you always looked forward to hearing his music. Even when he just told you the story behind the songs, his mind was so fascinating to you.

The conversations shifted a million times over as you eventually warmed up and felt more and more comfortable. Bruce could warm you up like no other, he made you feel like the only person in the world, and tonight was no exception.

As the night came to an end, Bruce pulled the car into the parking lot of your apartment building. "I hope you enjoyed tonight darling, I had a wonderful time."

"Tonight was wonderful, thank you." Your voice was barely above the volume of a whisper as you inched your face closer to Bruce's.

His warm brown eyes met yours quickly you both shut your eyes and your lips touched in a gentle kiss. The heat of your blush rose up your face as Bruce lightly tugged on your bottom lip. Oh he drove you wild, you could've had him right then and now but you knew it wasnt the time.

Before you knew it Bruce was out of the car and opening your door so you could get out.

"Goodnight Y/N..." He whispered, brushing a piece of hair behind your ear.

"Goodnight Bruce..." You replied, kissing his cheek before leaving.

IT’S A THANKSGIVING MIRACLE

You don’t need lots of reasons to headcanon something or ship something. You can ship two characters who briefly touch hands, you can headcanon a character as autistic because they have repetitive actions. You don’t need to explain why, you have your reasons, sometimes those reasons can just be “why not?”

Nobody:

Ethan Winters every time he sees Moreau:

"why do you like wizards so much" because you read a book to shoot fire out of your hands and you get a silly hat and robe. Next question

Bruce showing up to Dick and Jason's little league game like:

hey guys I brought clementines and Kool aid jammers

YOUR HONOR THIS IS THEM CANON NO CAP

(the resemblence is uncanny holy shit.)

alright guys. it’s time to find the answer to the age-old question: are you a man, a muppet, a muppet of a man, or a very manly muppet?
