Missy couldn't sleep. It was 1am and she had been tossing and turning for the last hour, her mind unable to settle and drift off.
Her and Wade had argued earlier that evening. It had probably been the first time ever the pair had ever fallen out.
But now Missy lay awake, regretting her earlier outburst.
She turned over and stared up at her darkened ceiling. She let out a long sigh.
Just a few hours ago the pair had been hanging out in her living room. Wade had been sitting on the floor, his back propped up against her sofa reading a takeout menu.
"I think it would be easier to choose what I don't want…" he said in a quick voice handing Missy the leaflet.
She was sat behind him on the couch, legs crossed, scrolling through her phone.
"Just get everything," she said with a shrug. She had been out with some friends the night before and was still suffering from a slight hangover. Her stomach rumbled. Right now, she just wanted ALL of the carbs.
"And that's why you're my perfect woman," he said glancing up at her through the white eyes of his mask.
Missy didn't even acknowledge his comment, merely continuing to scroll down her newsfeed.
"Uh, I didn't tell you…" she said after a moment. Not making eye contact with Wade. "I have another date."
Wade turned to face her, placing an elbow onto the couch.
"With who?" he asked cocking his head. "Don't tell me Rogers had finally strapped on a pair of old man balls and plucked up the courage to ask you out."
Missy, still didn't look at Wade. The tops of her cheeks turned pink.
"With the guy I….err…. went on a date with last time…." she said quietly.
She saw Wade narrow his white eyes at her.
"The asshole?" he said in a confused tone. "The guy who you said made it clear he wasn't into you and you had such a bad date with, you still won't even tell me what happened."
Missy gave a gulp, her eyes not leaving her phone.
"I saw him last night…in the club we were at…" she said quickly. "He seemed…interested…nice… He asked if I wanted to come over to his place the week after next."
"And you agreed?!" he said in an incredulous voice.
Missy had never heard Wade speak like this to her before. His tone was biting. Angry.
Missy got to her feet.
"Yes," she snapped, scowling. "I really don't see what it's got to do with you, Wade."
The masked merc jumped to his own feet and followed Missy as she stalked into the kitchen.
"So some guy gives you a little bit of attention and you just throw yourself at him?...Again?" said Wade, in an accusing voice.
Missy spun around, her eyes flashing dangerously.
"None of this is any of your business," she retorted.
But Wade stood in the doorway. "I'm just trying to make sure you don't make another stupid mistake," he uttered harshly.
Missy gave a gulp, staring down at the floor. This was so unlike Wade. Usually he was so upbeat about everything. She would have expected him to just give her an enthusiastic pat on the back and tell her to go for it.
Missy shot him a dark frown.
"Just fuck off, Wade," she said darkly as she stalked past him back in the living room. "Go on, get out."
She pointed to the door, she could feel angry tears pricking at her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm going," said the masked merc, shaking his head and marching past her, hauling open the door and slamming it behind him….
That had all been just a few hours ago and Missy still felt guilty.
She wished she had never asked him to leave like that.
She flipped over onto her stomach and reached for her phone. She desperately wanted to call him, but she had far too much stupid pride for that. She gave a groan and ran a hand down her face. She would never sleep at this rate.
Deciding she would get up and make herself a milky drink before going back to bed, she lifted the covers from herself and headed for the door.
But as her fingers reached the doorhandle, she heard an almighty clanging coming from the living room and a sudden- "Fuck…" as the sound of something smashing could be heard from behind the door.
Missy paled.
She slowly reached down for a large stiletto heel which lay on the floor from the previous night and cautiously opened the door.
The living room was dark, but at the far end of the room, next to the now open window, Missy cold just make out a figure shifting about in the moonlight.
She raised the stiletto higher as if ready to bash the intruder across the face and quickly flipped on the light switch.
"What the f-" she said gaping, as she took in the sight before her.
Wade was lying in a crumpled heap on the far side of the room. Her floor lamp had fallen on top of him and all around him were broken shards of glass mixed with a dark liquid.
"Hey, sugar munchkin," he said raising his masked head, but Missy could already hear that his speech was slurred.
He awkwardly tried getting to his feet, shifting the lamp off him, before suddenly stumbling and falling into her bookshelf. Half a dozen hardback books toppled onto his head.
Missy frowned as Wade got to his feet once again, stepping on broken glass as he did so.
"Are you drunk?" said Missy lowering the high heel that she had been holding and giving a frown.
Wade looked up at her, swaying slightly on the spot.
"You look so fucking hot right now," he said taking a couple of steps towards her but stumbling once again.
Missy, who was just wearing a tight tank top and a pair of shorts, caught him just as he was about to topple into her.
"Whoa whoa-" she uttered quickly, trying to pull the spandex-clad Deadpool to his feet. "Ugh, why are you so heavy…"
"My massive super dong counts for about 30 percent of that weight," he uttered in a slick voice, gazing up at her.
Missy with great effort, managed to haul him onto the sofa.
"Sure it does…" she muttered with a sigh, as he slumped down onto the cushions.
He peered up at her, as she stood before him, arms folded.
"Ok, ok… " he said raising both his hands aloft. "I may be a liiiiiitle bit drunk… but that doesn't mean that I won't be able to give you the best night of sex of your life…"
He gave a nod of assurance as Missy rolled her eyes.
"I'm getting you a glass of water," she said moving off into her little kitchenette.
She was back a second later with a cup, placing it down onto the coffee table in front of him.
But before she could move, Wade had reached over, grabbed her by the waist and pulled her down on top of him.
"Wade!" she said in a tired voice, trying to shift within his tight grasp. She could feel something hard, pressing up against her thigh which she prayed was his gun.
She managed to lift herself up slightly, pressing her hands against his broad chest.
He raised one of his gloved hands and brushed his fingers gently against her cheek.
"Do you know that I kinda fucking love you…" he said in a soft voice.
Missy closed her eyes and shook her head, a small smile spreading across her features. "Yes, you tell me that every time you have even a drop of alcohol," she muttered, jabbing him in the chest with her finger. "Remember that time I made appletinis, and you spent an hour on the phone to Al telling her how beautiful I look when I get angry."
"No, no, no…this is different…" said Wade, drunkenly shaking his head. "I love you and I don't want you to go on dates with guys who treat you like shit."
"Wade-" warned Missy, not wanting a repeat of what happened earlier, but Wade pressed a finger to her lips shushing her.
"I'm being serious…" he said, stumbling over his words, sounding anything but serious. "I've just drunk a shitload of whisky and I am ready to take on any motherfucker that tries to hurt you."
Missy smiled and rolled her eyes.
"I know you are, babe," she said gently, prising herself off his lap and getting to her feet.
She knew how handsy he could get even when he wasn't drunk. So peeling herself off him now was definitely the best option.
Wade made to protest but Missy cut him off.
"So was that a bottle of whisky you managed to smash all over my floor?" she said, gazing across to the mess that lay in front of her window.
Wade sat up properly, peering over the back of the couch.
"I will definitely help you clean that up tomorrow," he said, his upper half still swaying slightly.
Missy placed her hands to her hips, causing Wade to look up at her with wide, white eyes.
"I've been waiting for you to help clean up that bloodstain from the floorboards in my bedroom for a year already…," she uttered in an irritated voice. "So I'm not counting on it."
But Wade wasn't listening. Missy could see his eyes travelling up and down her body.
"Did I tell you how fucking hot you look right now?" he asked, leaning his masked head over the arm of the sofa.
Missy gave a sigh. "Yes, you did…" she murmured tiredly, gently placing a hand to the top of his head. "Come on, drink some water."
She nodded towards the glass, still sitting untouched on the coffee table.
"Fiiiine..." he grumbled, pulling up his mask a little, before reaching over and taking and taking a sip.
He quickly downed the entire glass as Missy stroked the top of his head. As he finished, he placed the glass down beside him and tugged the mask down over his face once again.
"You got any tequila?" he said turning to her as Missy shot him a cross look. "No, no, not for me…for you…. I know what you get like after just a sniff of that stuff. And you know how fun, sloppy drunk sex can be..."
Missy shook her head and passed a hand across her tired face, giving a yawn.
"No, I'm taking you to bed," she uttered as Wade's not existent eyebrows shot up.
He bounced up and down on the sofa excitedly giving a 'woop'.
"Are you kidding me? We're finally gonna do it?" he looked down at his crotch. "Ok, big guy, you better do me proud-"
But Missy rolled her eyes, grabbing Wade's arms and lifting him from the sofa.
"We're not sleeping together Wade, you can have my bed and I'll have the couch," she muttered, dragging him to his feet.
He gave a whine but followed willingly as she led him to her bedroom. He stared down at her, his white eyes roving across her features.
"Do you know why I love coming here?" he said still slurring his words.
Missy smiled. She knew he was about to come out with some sort of crass innuendo. "Why's that, Wade?"
He paused before speaking.
"Because your place is so nice…. a-and clean and doesn't smell like old lady pants…" he said, causing Missy's smile to widen.
Reaching her bed, she slowly eased him onto the mattress. He slumped backwards lying across the bed, staring up at the ceiling.
"…And because you're here…" he continued, before letting out a huge yawn.
Missy smiled down at the floor. If Wade had been looking at her, he's have seen her cheeks turn the slightest of pink.
"Shall we go for tacos tomorrow?" he said suddenly. "Or chimichangas, I'm easy either way…"
Missy smirked, coming to sit next to him. "Sorry babe, you missed out. I ordered sooooo much tex-mex after you stormed out earlier."
Wade brought a hand to his chest, acting affronted. "Without me?!"
Missy laughed, laying back across the bed beside Wade and turning to him. "Sorry…"
"So what did you get? Talk dirty to me, baby…" he uttered, his white eyes still on the ceiling.
Missy smiled, as he lifted his arm and she scooted beneath it, resting her head against his broad chest as he pulled her close.
"Ok, so I had some chimichangas, a burrito…"
Wade nodded in approval as she listed each one off.
…"a grilled shrimp fajita, nachos with extra sour cream…"
"…two fish tacos…."
Suddenly she heard the slightest of snores emanate from Wade's masked mouth.
Missy paused for a long moment staring up at him.
She smiled to herself and closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of Wade's chest rising and falling beneath her.
"Goodnight, Wade…" she said in barely a whisper, as she felt herself drifting off into the most comfortable sleep either of them had had in a long, long time.
I hope that was ok? I went to see Deadpool for the third time last night. I am obsessed at the moment.
Apologies if there are any spelling errors. I'm from the UK and aften are spelling is a little different (also I'm terrible at proof reading before I post!)
