Pietro stood in the doorway to Lance's room, blinking dumbly at the sight before him. "Do I even want to know?"
Lance looked up from his awkward position on the floor, where one of his legs was folded behind his back and another one curling around his side, trying and failing to meet his outstretched arm. On someone else, Pietro supposed, the pose might have looked graceful; on Lance it just looked like a very sad attempt at a human pretzel.
"Kitty's having me do it," he offered as an explanation, wincing as he shifted position slightly and his strained muscles very clearly protested. "She said it's good for your muscles... I'm not sure I really see how."
Pietro pressed a hand to his face. "You are such an idiot."
"Thanks."
"No, seriously. I don't even know how I can stand being around you."
"You know," Lance commented dryly, "as your friend I'm allowed to tell you when you're being a jerk, and you're being an jerk."
Pietro rolled his eyes. "You aren't even doing it right. Here." He got down on the floor next to Lance and gestured for him to come out of his pose. "Start over."
"Ohmygaddddd," Lance groaned and he delicately unfolded his limbs, wincing in pain at the stiffness of his muscles. "Why. Why, why, why, why, why."
"This is why I never want a girlfriend," Pietro sighed. "Now, do it like this-" Pietro demonstrated the position to Lance easily and skillfully, twisting his limbs in ways that Lance knew came nowhere close to his own previous state. He only raised his eyebrows when Pietro turned to him and said, "Now you."
"I- there's no way I can-"
"Quit being such a wuss, Alvers, and get in the pose so that you can impress your precious girlfriend!" Pietro rolled his eyes as he watched the brunet flail desperately as he tried to twist his body to mirror Pietro's own. Lance let out a high pitched squeal when his foot bent back the wrong way, and as Pietro watched he tipped over sideways and landed on his side where he lay unmoving, evidentially having exhausted himself.
Pietro pressed a hand to his face. "This is going to be a long process."
AN: Momentus means in Lithuanian, literally, moments. And that is essentially what these stories are going to be; a series of moments in the lives of the Brotherhood. Some will be long, some will be short, some will focus on one character while others will focus on another (though I'm sort of a Pietro fangirl, so expect a lot of him in these), but they will all be about the Brotherhood; who they are, why they've come to be this way, and what becomes of them after the series ends. There will probably be a few AUs in here too, but I'll tell you when these occur. Yes, Lancitty will be a prominent pairing. If you don't like it, there are plenty of Moments without it, and I'm sure you can easily find some Lietro or Landa or whatever shoots your arrows if you read in between the lines.
I hope you guys like these, and please tell me what you think because I'm always interested in hearing how I can get better.
