Notes: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Fem!Reader (1.5k words)
(feel free to make requests but I make no promises!)
Summary: Jake asks for your help to make a girl jealous.
Hangman needed something from you. He’d asked favors from you before—covering shifts, running errands…—but none specifically because you were a woman.
“You’re a girl, right?” He asked the morning after a particularly rough night at the Hard Deck.
“Bad start, Seresin.” You had just left the locker room, hair damp and soaking into your t-shirt. He waited for you, still in his flight suit with his hair tousled from the helmet. There was no denying Jake was attractive, especially with his cheeks a little sunburnt. It sometimes felt as if he was specifically put on this Earth to test you, your own personal chiseled red apple.
“Look, PJ” he started and extinguished all your goodwill.
PJ was a call sign given to you during a particularly awkward game of 2 truths 1 lie when you revealed that after getting your pilot’s license as a teenager, you managed to swindle a bunch of rich people to pay you boatloads to fly them around California. It was supposed to stand for Private Jet but when he said it, you knew he meant Plain Jane. You heard him joke about it to the guys.
You stepped around him, making your escape down the long hallway. But he followed, singing some sob story about some poor girl who wanted nothing to do with him after a one night stand.
“Maybe you just weren’t that good,” you called behind your shoulder.
He barely acknowledged your retort except for the smirk you could clearly hear in his voice, “Oh, it was good.”
“And you just want me to bear witness?” You were leaning against your car now, in the parking lot which he had followed you to.
“Wow, PJ. I didn’t realize you were into that sort of thing.”
“I just thought you needed reliable back-up with the guys since your “unbelievable” prowess is genuinely unbelievable.”
He boxed you in, hands at either side of you, with that cocky smile still plastered on his face, “I want you to help me make her jealous.”
