Jake Seresin/Bradley Bradshaw, E, 5k
After the mission, Bradley thinks maybe he and Jake could give things another try.
"Flying is probably better than sex, in Bradley’s opinion, but sex is a solid second place, and Jake is tied up in both."
This isn't my primary puddle to splash in so thanks to @astronomical-light and @foolhearts for the inspiration over the summer when I did the majority of the writing, I'm sorry it took so long.
Special Agent for the FBI in the white-collar crimes division Bradley Bradshaw once arrested white-collar criminal Jake Seresin, alias the Hangman.
The Hangman is a charming and sophisticated con artist known as such because he cockily leaves a hangman game on each crime scene (leading to his next theft). However, Agent Bradshaw cracks his hangman code which has allowed him to finally capture the elusive criminal.
(Un)fortunately, his criminal talents in counterfeiting are coveted by the white-collar crimes division. The FBI IceBoss Tom Kazansky strikes a deal with him: serving his remaining four-year sentence as a anklet-wearing consultant to the FBI. Seresin accepts the deal as long as he gets Agent Bradshaw as his handler. (What? The guy has brains and is sweet on the eye –his moustache notwithstanding–, and he likes ‘hem smart and pretty.)
Agent Bradshaw has no choice but to obey his bossdad. He’s thus now working with the infuriating, cunning, and not at all appealing criminal alongside his newly formed white-collar team –Agents Natasha Trace and Bob Floyd. The team has a particularly high solved-cases rate, mainly due to the duo très spécial working together.
FBI consultant Jake Seresin has the time of his life: he lives in a beautiful and richly decorated house with Penny Benjamin, the charming landlady; he wears her late husband’s styled suits and hats; he finds his criminal and genius best friend Javy Machado again and often asks him for help in various FBI cases…
About that…He is surprised how much he likes using his devilishly almost-too-good-to-be-true talents (‘ugh’, says Bradley, every single time) for the other side of the law. His colleagues Trace and Floyd are really nice too: he banters with Phoenix like he would his own sister, and fondly annoys Bob like he would a little brother.
He expects even less to fall for Agent Bradshaw. Bradley. The Hawaiian-shirt-wearing and by-the-book special agent appears to be a little grumpy on the outside, especially with him, but Jake is trying to shatter Bradley’s walls, and he will succeed eventually. They have numerous evening talks during which they share personal details, and pretty much bicker about every possible subject.
Jake also meets the IceBoss’ trophy wife and Bradley’s godfather, Pete (‘Call me Maverick’) Mitchell. Maverick is a mechanic and an engineer, and he does some consultant work when the FBI needs his expertise. These two become thick as thieves, as they have similar minds, and Maverick often invites Jake for dinner (Bradley whines ‘Mav, whyyyyyyyyy?!’ meanwhile Ice is questioning his husband’s –matchmaking–motives…‘Trust me IceBaby, I know what I’m doing.’)
It is Mav who convinces Jake to go for it, because his oblivious godson would never act on his feelings, he’s too cautious (‘Ah. The snug-on-his-perch type’…..‘Well, yeah, but he has his reasons.’). However, Mav is sure he likes Jake because Ice has told him Bradley often comes in his office to rant about Hangman (‘Ice, he’s yet again charming such and such, he’s unprofessional!’… Also Ice has the patience of a saint).
Thus Jake begins wooing Bradley à la Hangman: he leaves him complimentary notes disguised as hangman games on his desk, he delivers perfect art forgeries in Bradley’s effigy (paintings, sculptures, drawings,…) at his home –Bradley’s both scandalised and reluctantly charmed– and, on one memorable occasion, Bradley’s gifted a Carrara-marbled, life-sized and very much naked statue of Jake. He stays speechless for an abnormal amount of time and can’t look Jake in the eye (héhé) for some time. He’ll deny it, but Bradley keeps the statue. Of course, he keeps the statue! Finally, Jake’s last and most romantic move is to offer Bradley a piano he's personally restored! It’s the final straw for Bradley: he jumps him so hard his neighbours call the police to report *suspicious* noise.
[After their “strenuous” activities, Jake asks Bradley if he has succeeded in accomplishing his most spectacular heist.
Bradley: And what would that be?
Jake: Have I finally succeeded in stealing your heart?
Bradley: For a seductive bastard, you are ridiculously corny sometimes…but if you must know. Yeah, you did.]
hangman’s always wanted to marry into a big family.
it’s a secret, because god forbid he show his soft, squishy heart to anybody, but coyote’s been around his best friend long enough to notice things. like hangman doesn’t necessarily have a type but the ones he tries harder for are the ones who get facetime calls at thanksgiving and tell stories about annoying cousins
hangman’s always wanted a big family but it seemed cruel to wish more people into the hell that was his childhood. (but obviously that’s why he acts the way he does teasing, poking, prodding with phoenix and bob and everyone, a lonely kid’s approximation of siblings he saw on tv.) marrying into one is the only other option he sees.
“so you get my surprise,” coyote says, leveling his stare on rooster, “when it was you.”
rooster stares back and he doesn’t know where this is going because he was almost certain he was about to get shovel-talked when coyote pulled him out of the hard deck. instead they’re having this conversation.
“but,” coyote continues, gaze swinging over to the open window. “i think i get it now.”
rooster follows his eyes to the inside of the hard deck. halo and phoenix with both pairs of their hands sealed over hangman’s eyes. bob places a dart in his hand as fanboy and payback watch with bated breath. hangman flicks his wrist and they can’t see from the window, but the noise that follows tells them precisely where the dart landed. despite the outrage on his face, maverick slaps a hand on hangman’s shoulder and rooster knows the exact feel of it.
Feeling very compelled to write this one...👀
bradley’s house feels empty. it’s always a bit of a shock, to step over the threshold from sunny, sandy san diego into the gaping abyss of his old house. it’s felt that way for nearly as long as he can remember.
first, it was the absence of nick bradshaw. his mother, bless her soul, tried so hard–goose’s old knickknacks spilling over shelves and table surfaces, the ever-permeating smell of recipes gathered from the other military wives (always with just a tinge of burning), the garden she kept in full bloom–but she was just one woman and the house was built for a family, not a widow and her four year old son. bradley remembers pockets of silence. nights with carole staring blankly at the tv, the only source of light and sound, some game show host’s plastic laugh echoing into the ceiling.
and then carole died and bradley fled the nest for maverick (and iceman’s) home.
when he finally returned, a man now, he couldn’t even make it through the door. no dad. no mom. no maverick. but there was ice on the phone laying out his options. selling it is even more unthinkable than living in it.
so bradley rents it out. to families, couples, rowdy groups of college kids. he hopes it fits them better than it ever did him.
then the mission happens and recuperating in the barracks sounds even worse than if he’d just laid down in the snow and died, so back to the house it is.
natasha had dropped him off at the door, worried eyes as he took a fortifying breath and opened the door to darkness, but he waved her off. he’s been alone with the silence for a few days. no matter how many lamps he turns on or how many windows he opens, it’s all so cold and dark and quiet. hollow.
that changes quickly.
jake muscles his way through bradley’s door and bradley can’t even stop him, his and mav’s crash landing leaving him with a limited range of mobility.
what if mav broke down and told bradley that it was his mother’s last wish that he not join the navy, and bradley is angry, but eventually understands.
he has three fathers (goose, mav, ice) in naval aviation though, so this apple doesn’t fall far from the proverbial naval aviation tree. he ends up going to stanford and double majors in astrophysics and aerospace engineering, eventually going for a double phd (this boy is smort).
