A few weeks had passed and I began to feel lighter and lighter. My wallowing had turned into shy optimism as the days went on. Pietro was the reason. My nightmares had almost ceased to be , and I even started thinking about my future. I found myself enjoying the simplest of things like watching movies, or playing the piano. My horrible life that I had had previously was turning into something else. Something new.
I sat in a lounge chair at the top of the Avengers tower Tony had built so lavishly. I wasn't used to an artificial intelligence system speaking from above, let alone food in the fridge and clean water. I was so unaccustomed to their way of life it was almost depressing. Pietro searched my face from the kitchen thoroughly, he knew I was overwhelmed by all of this.
He was currently preparing everyone a Sokovian dish called Peka which was a delicious dish with meat and vegetables. He was constantly turning his head to make sure I was okay. He worried all the time, because he wanted me to enjoy everything here. He would toss and turn next to me in bed, and wake with dark bags under his eyes. No doubt worrying about me.
I wanted to reassure him I was fine, this was just all so new. It was scary, but exciting. I had never been in this type of family dynamic before. Steve and Natasha sat casually on the couch. He was sprawled back on the couch with his arms linked behind his head gazing at her. Natasha was leaning on the other end of the couch with her socked feet on his lap sharing an inappropriate story. Bruce was sitting at a table behind the couch fiddling with his glasses that had cracked on a mission. Tony was trying to coax Pepper from her office to spend some time with everyone in the lounge. Thor was sitting in the couch chair next to me reading a book scrunching his eyebrows quizzically.
''Loki sure reads books with a lot of intercourse..'' He whispers.
I bet he was sure no one heard him. We all did.
In unison we all burst into a fit of laughs. Steve doubled over against Natasha's legs cackling. Pietro stated laughing loudly and ran over to Thor in a dash. He snatched the books up before Thor could hide it.
''Let's see here...'' He said humorously.
He skims the pages as he walks in the front of the couch. He lifts his eyebrows in surprise as he understands what the pages portray. His voice is smooth and musical as he begins to read the explicit sentences.
''He places a hand on her thigh lovingly and guides her body to his own...'' He is trying to be funny and raises his voice emphasizing ''thigh'. Tony stumbles in the room pulling Pepper with his arm to hear what's going on. He bug eyes Thor, then Pietro.
''She looks down scared but excited as their bodies meet in union. He caresses her hips with both of his strong hands and then slides them gently down to rest on the top of her thighs below her arse...'' Pieto's reading becomes more and more serious almost all humor had left his tone. His cheeks become a deep rouge as he tries to collect his composure.
''She leans into him fully, and with no hesitation starts undressing her lover. He is entranced by her movements, so sure and gentle all the same time. It makes him ache for her touch. She finally gives in, and meets his lips...'' Pietros voice grew lower and almost desperate as if he was aching as well. He was embarrassed,we all could tell. He closes the book swiftly and then his eyes full of need flicker to mine.
I know what he is thinking, I know he thinks he needs it.
I smile and look to Thor who was reading the book in the first place. Everyone does the same, trying to relieve the tension in the room.
''Thor why on Earth are you reading that porn..'' Tony pipes up quickly, and for once I am relieved.
''It's not porn, it's a classic where I come from. My brother Loki has lent it to me while he is away on travels.'' Thor looks positively hurt as he was just reading what his brother gave him.
''Well I think your brother gave you that book so you'd get caught reading it...'' Pietro says swiftly making his way back to the kitchen.
Thor curses under his breath,''Well he would so something like that.. I mean I love Women I do...'' He trails off mumbling to himself for a moment. I smirk trying to hold in another laugh.
''Maybe one day you'll be able to keep one Thor.'' Tony says from the doorway.
''Yeah I know you all think Jane dumped me...'' He says as a rebuttal.
''She did dump you.'' Natasha says snickering.
''It's okay Thor, I've gotten dumped before..'' Steve says trying to make him feel better.
''When? Like 97 years ago? When you were a twig?'' He asks. Steve shrugs.
''I will find a woman worthy of my love then '' He smiles and takes a bi My hands quite of his apple.
Pietro begins to fill the kitchen with smoke.
''It's OKAY! It's Okay everyone everything is under my control. It's supposed to that.'' He yells.
''Are you sure?'' I ask making a few people giggle after me.
''Yes love, your supposed to be on MY side...'' He says humorously. I blush at the sound of him calling me love.
Everyone know we like each other, it's an unspoken thing. Pietro and I are too scared to say anything to each other. It's agonizing really. My hands quickly pull some of my hair in front of my face, but it's too late Tony notices.
''When are you guys gonna have super babies?'' Tony says whipping around to face me. I look down uncomfortably.
''No, I really wanna know Morgan needs a pal she's dricing me CRAZY!'' He says staring me down. My look to Natasha for help. My anxiety is surfacing like an overdue volcano. I clench the hem of my shirt.
''Tony, lay off.'' Natasha hisses. He shrugs.
''I bet Pietro's got some good genes that he's willing to give.'' The inventor raises his eyebrows and puts his hands up.
Pietro turns the stove off and walks over to me. He sits on the arm of my louger. I blow out a sigh in relief and he begins to speak.
''Morgan has you to play with Tony, we all know you have a 1pm tea party with her everyday. When I have a kid I'm sure I'll me sending her/him over to play.'' He smiles at the end.
A small smile forms on my lips.
''Where is that little girl of yours I'd love to meet her?'' I ask Tony smiles a proud fatherly smile.
''She's just about to come up with Happy, he picked her up from school.'' Pepper replies walking next to her husband.
Almost suddenly the elevator door opens with Happy and Morgan inside. She runs to her Dad with pure joy on her face.
''Guess what I did! Guess what I did Daddy!'' She yells as he scoops her up into a hug.
''What, babygirl?'' He asks brushing some hair out of her eyes.
''I caught a lizard!" She scream ecstatically.
She flings her arm out swiftly and opens her palm. A tiny green lizard sits in her palm for a second before it's gone.
Morgan screams and Tony frantically looks at the ground. The room is a heap of madness as everyone begins to search for Morgan's lizard.
''HAPPY WHY WOULD YOU.. DIDN'T YOU SEE IT?'' Tony yells running around the room.
''NO SHE DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME!'' He says running around as well.
Thor stands up and throws his book down and grabs a broom form the kitchen. ''I must be prepared!''
Natasha and Steve stand up and look around not really knowing what to do. I sit there snickering to myself and I see Pietro run around the room in a flash of light.
He stop in the middle of the room and kneel in front of Morgan. ''Here little one, perhaps you should get a home for this little guy. '' He says giving her back her lizard.
''Morgan what did I tell you about finding animals outside ? You have to tell me when you have one so I can make a home for it baby..'' Tony says patting her head. She giggles look up at Pietro. The blonde smiles down at her. He's so good with kids.
''It's time to eat everyone'' Pietro says as he makes his way back to the kitchen to set the table. We all get up and take our seats. For now life is good, I hope it will stay like this for a while.
