Perfect For Me Book 2

Chapter 5

"Yeah, so I will try to come by soon maybe in half an hour I'll be there with P if he is not doing anything and we'll be there soon. Alright! Sounds good, I'll see you then, thanks Frank." Y/n hangs up the phone and pivots towards the door.

"Oh my go- Pietro what... hi. I did not expect you to be there." He stands there with the same expression as he had when she turned around. "So I guess you heard that was Frank and he asked if we could talk to him today about the house. The bathroom is almost finished ... what what what-" She had made her way over him while rambling and he had caught her flailing hands in his own and looked her in they eyes.

"Why?"

"Wha- why what?"

"Why do you always walk away when something like this happens? You get flustered and than you try to hide it with other projects to distract yourself from something. Why?" His tone was gentle as he spoke and lowered their arms to his chest. Y/n closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest.

"....it's because if not I will totally fall apart....and nobody wants that...I only have my family and when that is jeopardy I can't take it..." Pietro wraps his arms around her as she finishes speaking.

He pulls his head back to look at her and lifts her head in his hands. "Can I say something?" Making her smile lightly, Y/n nods her head slightly as Pietro wipes her tears with the pad of his thumb. "If you can get us out or Hydra without batting your eyelashes, than this scaring you is not something to freak out about."

She inhales and nods her head a few times. " Alright, but I did tell Frank that we would be at the house in a few minutes and we have to go."

He smiles and the couple makes their way to the garage and head over to their future home.

~~~

In the car nearing the home, the conversations in the car were limited due to the anxious air. In attempts to not only get answers about where Y/n's head was at, but to also get some of the slightly awkward air out of the car.

" I shouldn't ask but, what way are you leaning? You know, with the accords. I know your dad already signed it so what are you going to do?" Pietro glances over at her and sees her head against the window with her hand glazing over her forehead.

" I don't want to think about it but the hard truth is that the team is never going to agree on one set plan. My dad and Steve are stubborn as hell and neither one of them is going to cave on their decisions. I'm going to lose friendships if I sign or if I don't sign and it scares me to death that I might lose more than just one or two friendships, I could lose my family. I can't lose my dad he is the only one I have left biologically. I can't lose you, that period of time where I lost you when I came back here was a life I never want to live again. In that time not only did I lose the man I love but I also lost my best friend. I'm not ready to do that again."

At that point, the couple pull into the drive way of their home, Frank met the two at the front of the house.

The car comes to a stop and Y/n get out of the car and goes up to the front door, not waiting for Frank or Pietro.

The tension between the young pair only got worse throughout the day. Y/n keeps dodging the people in the compound and starts stress cooking. 

"Guys dinner is ready!" Silence "Damn again, Friday call the Avengers and tell them dinner is ready please."

"Right away Y/n."

The teammates one by one enter the kitchen with numb stares. They stop scattered around the kitchen looking around.

"Guys, sit down. The table is set and dinner will be right over." Y/n encourages the group in front of her to move and they shyly move to the table. When Y/n brings the food to the table, Nat fills up a plate and starts to leave the dinning area.
