Be Still My Heart

Fueled by Anger and Alcohol

Y/N POV-

Wanda and I are paired against Peter and Steve first. "Come on, Steve. We play this game all the time. How are you not better?" Peter is the only one not drinking. He has a glass of water in his hand since he has school tomorrow.

"This is hard. There is no way they will-," Wanda and I cut off Steve's ramble by sinking both of our balls in their last two cups. "What was that Steve? I think we just won." Wanda jumps into my arms.

Her laugh is the only sound I hear as I hold her tightly against me. That sound alone makes my heart sing. I watch as Peter and Steve finish their drinks before stepping away from the table.

Thor and Banner step up to the table next and play against Tony and Pepper. I walk into the kitchen with Wanda on my tail while they set up. I drop my empty beer glass into the recycle and grab another out of the fridge. "Get me another seltzer?" Wanda rests against the counter as I grab her a seltzer.

I hand her the can and look behind her at the two teams playing beer pong. Screaming and yelling continues with every miss and sink of the ball into a cup. I place my hand on Wanda's hip drawing her into me. "Are you sure you want that one?" She cracks the top and takes a sip just to spite my comment.

"I do. They make me feel good." I lean in close to her ear just for emphasis. "You know what else makes you feel better than good?" I pull back to see her biting her lip and shaking her head up and down. "Yes, I do. I am looking right at her."

There is more screaming behind us as someone sinks a ball into a cup. "Let's beat these losers then we can head back to my room okay?" Wanda nods her head. "Win quickly."

We both have a pretty good buzz as we walk back over to the table. Thor sinks his ball in their last cup winning their game. Tony and Pepper finish their drinks and step away from the table. Nat who is refereeing turns to us, "Final game is Thor and Banner against Wanda and Y/N."

We go cup for cup with Thor and Banner until we get down to one cup left for each of us. Peter moves to our side to cheer us on. "Come on guys, you can beat them. You've made this shot tons of times before." Thor throws up his hands towards Peter. "Why aren't you cheering us on?"

Peter has no hesitation. "They beat us fair and square, makes Steve and I look better if they beat you." Steve is standing next to Nat laughing at the conversation between Thor and Peter. Wanda and I both finish our drinks as we prepare to throw our balls for the last cup.

The room gets silent as I throw my ball and miss just barely. "Shit," Wanda is rolling her ball in between her fingers. "Come on, you can do this." The room gets silent again as we wait for her to throw her ball. It leaves her fingers with a perfect spin landing directly in the cup.

"Woohoo!" I pick up Wanda and spin her around as Peter walks over and high fives Steve. Banner tries to rein us all back in. "Wait, wait. We still get our tries to make it. You haven't won yet." We all quiet down again.

I wrap my arm around Wanda's waist keeping her pulled tight against me. I lean in towards her ear. "We've got this in the bag." She tries to contain her giggle as Banner prepares to throw his ball. A miss. "Okay, one more. Once Thor misses, we win."

Tony has his arm wrapped around Pepper and Steve is standing awfully close to Nat. Thor prepares to throw his ball, his arm raised in the air. We are all on the edge of our seats. "Just throw it Thor."

Wanda calls him out disrupting the peace. "Hold on, I am getting ready to take back your win." He throws the ball and it hits the rim of the cup but falls out to the side, not into the cup.

"We won!" The celebrating continues like before. Banner comes over and shakes our hands accepting his defeat.

"The new champions!" Peter bows to both Wanda and me. "Congratulations," Thor comes over and places his hand on my shoulder. "A worthy competitor however I will need a rematch another night." I nod my head. "You're on."
