Micky 'Fanboy' Garcia x Reader
Mickey danced on the balls of his feet, side to side, the anticipation rendering him incapable of standing still. He rose to the tips of his toes to see over the crowds of people, searching. Disappointment dropping him back to earth when he doesn’t spot you.
He can’t wait to see you and if he knew security wouldn’t tackle him he’d rush through the gate to carry you off the plane himself.
“Wow,” Reuben smirked, “I’ve never seen you this nervous.”
“I’m not nervous. I’m excited. I haven’t seen her in months," Quickly, he corrected, “them, I haven’t seen them in months.”
Reuben laughed, covering his mouth to quiet it as much as he could. “So you’re excited to see your sister and her best friend.”
Reuben wasn’t stupid and Mickey knew he wasn’t good at hiding the fact he spoke to you on an almost daily basis or that most of his stories and favorite memories involved you. It wasn’t that you were off limits, his sister had encouraged him to ask you out but there was always something holding him back; timing, distance, work commitments, other relationships.
“You gotta-” Reuben started but cut off when Mickey’s face broke out into an impossibly large smile and took off at a fast jog.
Mickey rushed at you, barely registering his sister a few paces behind. You dropped your carry-on and discarded your suitcase to run the last few remaining feet and leap into his arms.
“Hey,” he cooed in your ear.
“Damn, I’ve missed you,” you sighed, melting into him.
He swore his heart stopped and he felt like he was spinning out of control. He couldn’t let this be the short trip you had planned, he needed more. There was nothing holding him back now, he had a stable assignment in San Diego, you were both single and you’d subtly mentioned the firm you worked at had an opening in the San Diego field office.
He had to take a chance, he just hoped he didn’t crash and burn.
