The door to the rec room upstairs is open a bit, just enough so i can peer in. Peter is sitting at a table doing homework with Vision helping him. Scott is playing a board game with Hope, and Bruce is sat at a side table doing...Bruce stuff.
I go to the bathroom to clean myself up, and then go to the rec room.
Walking to a chair in the corner, Peter spins around in his chair, pencil in hand and forgets all about his homework. He tries to get up, but Vision grabs his shoulder.
"I don't mean to be rude, but you said earlier that you have a test tomorrow?"
Peter sighs, sitting back down and turning to the 5 pieces of paper sprawled out on the table.
I check my phone.
5 missed calls and 8 texts from Steve. What does he want?
"How's it going with Bucky?"
"I went out on a jog if you need me..be back soon."
"I'm back!"
"Are you still talking with Bucky?"
"Don't tell me you're falling for a dude with a metal arm."
"Violet, it's been 30 minutes...are you ok?"
30 minutes? At the most it's been 15...or maybe i just stared into his eyes for a little longer than a second.
"I'm coming in there."
"Nevermind, Tony held me down and is forcing me to stay in my room. Can you tell him i'm not 6 years old?"
I get another text from Steve.
"This is serious, please come get me out of my room."
I smile discreetly.
I leave the rec room and head down the steps to Steve's room. Only some of us live in the compound. Just me, Steve, Tony, Bruce, Wanda and Vision. And I guess Bucky now.
Peter lives with his aunt May, Sam lives somewhere (i'm not quite sure..) Thor is up in asgard and Scott and Hope have their apartment just a few blocks from here.
I arrive at Steve's room. I think the argument downstairs stopped. I'm not sure how it ended, i'm not even sure i wanna know.
I open the door to Steve's room and he's on his bed, getting ready to send me another text.
"How did you.."
"I just opened the door?"
"Thank you, I've been in here for an hour." he says. "I'm gonna go kill Stark." he says, walking out of the room.
