J for Jenny

You've Always Been My Favorite

An America One Shot

"How could you possibly even think that Spiderman could beat Batman in a fight!" I screamed at my best friend, Alfred, as we walked down the sidewalk. I loved him to death but some times his idiocy annoyed me to the ends of the Earth. "I mean seriously one has a gadget for everything and the other has webs, isn't the winner obvious?" I said trying my best to show him that I was right.

He simply shrugged "I just lost a lot of respect for him at the end of the Dark Knight. I mean seriously dude why wouldn't you choose the girl!" he said stretching his arms above his head, revealing his hamburger clad boxers. I grinned at the sight of them and a soon as he caught me he gave me a wink saying "Enjoying the view there Jenny?"

I laughed and gave him a playful poke in the side. "No I am just wondering how someone who eats as much as you stays so skinny! Seriously the way you eat you should be like a million pounds!" I said thinking of the seven pieces of pizza he had for lunch today. He stifled a giggle as I poked him and I smiled at him evilly remembering something. "Thats right you are ticklish aren't you Alfy!" I said launching a full on tickle attack.

After I had him in tears and almost rolling around on the side walk I stopped and held up my hands in peace. "Its not fair Jenny, you fight dirty!" he pouted, puffing out his cheeks in a child like way. I shrugged and starting walking again, knowing he would forget the whole thing in two seconds. "But your not the only one." I heard him say and before I could ask him what he meant I felt myself being lifted up into the air.

I let out a scream. "Alfred put me down I don't like heights, I don't like heights!" I cried out kicking and punching in random directions, probably looking like a flailing magikarp. He put me on his shoulders like a little kid and I grabbed onto his hair (which was really surprisingly soft!) and called out "Alfred what the hell do you think you are doing?"

"Calm down its just a piggy back ride. Enjoy it why don't you." he teased me knowing full well that I would not be happy again til my feet were firmly on the ground. But I was not willing to give into his little game so I bit my lip forcing myself not to say a word as we continued to walk, as if the sight of me on his shoulders was a normal everyday thing. Sometimes I seriously wished Alfred cared a little more what others thought about him, but at the same time I knew if he did he wouldn't be my best friend.

Finally, after ten minutes of me whining and crying, he put me down. I punched him in the arm hard and mumbled "Your a jerk." before I continued to walk, only focusing now on getting to the movies. I wanted to see captain america more then anything but now my stomach was queasy from being up so high. "I swear if I puke because of you I will never forgive you Alfred!" I told him giving him a playful shove knowing I didn't mean it, after all the small pain was already going away.

"Aw come on Jen don't be angry with me!" he moaned wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "How bout this, I pay for your ticket and the food then we call it even?" he said, his arm sill placed firmly on my shoulders. I stared at his arm, as if expecting it to catch on fire, but finally nodded in agreement. I was not really sure why this sudden sign of affection had me flustered, it wasn't the first time he had done this but lately people had been asking if me and him were going out and it had got me thinking …

I shook my head, there was no way I could date Alfred, he was my best friend it would be major weird! I pushed his arm off me as we approached the movie theater "Come on jerk muffin you got tickets to buy." I said giving him a grin as we walked through the big glass doors. After grabbing out tickets and usual movie snacks, popcorn cherry coke and a ton of Twizzlers, we made our way to the very top row in the theater. I sat and practically jumped up and down in my sea from excitement.

"Woah calm down Jenny or I am going to have to take away the candy from you." Alfred said with a laugh as he saw my restlessness. I stuck my tongue out at him but quickly turned my attention back to the screen as he movie finally started. I sat there the whole movie with my eyes glued to he screen, not even noticing that Alfred was inching closer and closer to me. Finally the movie ended but I didn't move. "Hey Jenny are you alright?" Alfred asked when I was still sitting there after the credits.

I stood up and looked at him with wide eyes. "Like I think I just found my new favorite super hero and his name is Captain America!" I screamed letting out all of my new found fangirlness. "I mean that was just so totally amazing and now to mention how amazingly cute he is." I sighed as we walked back outside. I snapped back to reality though when I saw the look on Alfred's face. "Hey Al whats wrong?" I asked wondering how he could be upset after an amazing movie like that.

"It just wasn't that great of a movie is all." he mumbled crossing his arms. I stared at him open mouthed but decided not to say anything, I knew him long enough to know the look on his face. He was upset about something but now wasn't the time to push him for information. So instead I simply shrugged and changed the subject to Halloween, our favorite time of year. His eyes instantly lit up and he said "Oh my god I cant wait! You still want to go to the haunted maze with me right?"

I nodded enthusiastically "Like for sure! Plus my costume this year is going to be killer." I said with a wink when we reached my house. He begged me to tell him what I was going to be but I just laughed and shook my head. "No its a surprise Alfred. Now get off my property." I said playfully giving him a small shove. He grinned at me and waved as he wen to walk across he street to his house.

The following weeks passed by with a blur filled with searching frantically for final touches to my costume and carving pumpkins and of course planning a trick or treat route with Alfred until finally Halloween had arrived. Thankfully we didn't have school that day so I spent all day doing my make up only stopping when Alfred sent me messages asking to come over, which I kept telling him no to. I just didn't want him to see my costume just yet.

See ever since I was seven, the year I met Alfred, I had always been something scary but this year was different, this year I was a fairy. Not just any fairy mind you a sparkling ice fairy with lots of snowflakes and swirls covering my forehead and eyes with intricate designs and a long slowing light blue dress and finally a silver icicle tiara placed on top of my now curled golden hair.

I look in the mirror and blushed a little, it wasn't often that I dressed up in something nice and I couldn't help but feel people were going to laugh at me. Just as I was going to quickly change into one of my old scary costumes I heard the doorbell ring several time and I knew Alfred was here. I took a deep breath and ran to answer the door, which was hard in my heels, hoping Alfred wouldn't burst out in laughter.

"Happy Halloween Alfred." I said with a smile as I opened the door staring at my feet, waiting for his laughter. I wasn't expecting him to gasp and let out a small 'wow'. I blushed and turned around, not even looking at him, and asked "Do I look that bad? Oh I know I look ridicules, I am going to go change!" But before I could dash up the stairs he grabbed my arm and I froze.

"No its not that Jenny its just … you look amazing." Alfred said as I turned around and saw a large blush rising on his cheeks. I thanked him with a blush of my own but then took in his costume. I let out a small squeel as I saw that he was Captain America! Yet as awesome, and hot, as I thought he looked I couldn't figure out why he was wearing that costume, he hated Captain America with a passion.

"Alfred love the costume but I am confused … don't you like despise Captain America?" I asked still unable to take my eyes off him. I knew it was rude to stare but he just looked so good with all his muscles, that I didn't even know he had, showing off like that. "Though if you were wanting to get all the girls attention I could see why you chose it." I said feeling a wave of jealousy hit me as the words escaped my mouth.

"Jenny I don't care about catching every girls attention, I just care about one." he said a strange look entering his eyes, a look I only ever saw once before and that was when he was in love with his first girlfriend. And that had been three years ago when we were thirteen. I wanted to ask what girl it was but I couldn't bring myself to, I realized I didn't want to know because I was … I was jealous. "That girl is you Jenny." he whispered lifting my face up with one finger. "I just wanted to be your favorite hero for at least one night, so maybe you would like me to." he said his bright blue eyes gazing deeply into my own brown ones.

Without thinking I closed the small space between our face and kissed him, faintly tasting hamburger and mountain dew on his breath. After what seemed an eternity, though it was probably only a few seconds, I pulled away and whispered back breathlessly "Al … you have always been my favorite." He smiled and replied with another deeper kiss. I smiled as I pulled him closer by the collar, I had a feeling I was going to have a good night with my favorite hero.

A/N: Random pokemon reference is random XD I am sorry I just couldn't help myself haha. So this idea came to me because captain america is my favorite hero eva, besides Alfred of course, and I thought it would make a cute little one shot between two friends. I know it is a bit short but I could imagine this actually happening for some odd reason and I just love Alfred's attitude. I hope I did a good job with this one and to all of you who have been reviewing I love you because you make my day brighter when I read them! Next up is my favorite of the bad touch trio Prussia! p.s he can invade my vital regions whenever he wants ;)
