We're more alike than you think

33. Sunlight

The sun light came through the curtains hitting your face. You opened your eyes carefully. The adrenalin you got after being shot clouded your memories, but you quickly realised you were laying on a man's chest with your hands tight wrapped around him. You hid your face in his chest and tried to dream yourself away from this situation. If it was possible, you would love to skip this part, but it was too late for that now, so why not enjoy it? Carefully you let one  hand free and moved your head closer to his shoulder section. You let your fingers move slowly against his smooth skin, forming small circles taking in muscle for muscle. Suddenly you felt the same movements on your bare back. You couldn't help but smile a little.

"Let me guess, you were awake the whole time?" you whispered low turning your head so you were facing him.

"Maybe" he whispered as you could hear his deep raspy voice. He looked beautiful. The sun was hitting his face perfectly, making his hazel brown eyes shine even more than normal. The man who once seemed to be so mysterious, didn't look that mysterious anymore in your arms. He takes a hand around your face, letting his thumb lay on your under lip for awhile. Your faces were inches apart as you noticed a little smirk starting to grow on his lips. He leaned over you, careful of your wound and kissed your lips softly before laying his head back on the pillow. You could feel the heat on your cheeks as you started to blush.

"I would love for us to do more, but your aunt is downstairs making breakfast and I don't wanna make things more awkward" Zemo laughed low.

You wanted him to continue talking, only so you could lay by his side and listen to his raspy morning voice. His voice distracted you so much that it took you a while to catch what he was actually telling you. "Shit" you whispered and sat up, he looked up at you curious at what could have possibly gone wrong so quickly. You looked down at him. "I would prefer that Irka didn't know... see.. you know.. us.. like, you know... this" you said clearly uncomfortable. He held into your hand and laughed low.

"Are you saying you are ashamed for me?" he asked and sat up beside you. 

"No, I get it." he said in all seriousness. You smiled weakly and let go of his hand as you moved over to the wardrobe. You found a white shirt and a pair of brown trousers for yourself. For Zemo you found a pair of black trousers and a black shirt with it laid on the bed for him together with clean underwear. Irka was a former member of the X-men in her younger days, and now she would help them out as much as she could from home. That's the reason why she had all this extra clothing, for when people used her place as a safe house.

"It's probably a lot cheaper than what you are used to, but it does it's job. Cover you up" you said with a little chuckle and got dressed. He looked at it and didn't hesitate to put it on. The shirt was sitting tight around his muscles, and you needed to pinch yourself from stop looking when he turned around facing you. He looked down at your clothes and was about to say something when Irka yelled for you to come down for breakfast, instead he just smiled weakly and opened the door for you.

The two of you should be talking about what happened yesterday, but you couldn't help but think that maybe he was just as scared as you to take up the subject and therefore just pushed it away. He had just seen you manipulate metal,  it wasn't exactly normal, and he still had no idea about what exactly you were.

"Aren't people like you supposed to be up early?" Irka asked as the two of you walked down the stairs. You ignored her question and sat down by the kitchen counter. She turned around facing us with two big plates full of food and put it down. She looked at your shirt with a big proud smile "I see you took on Charles shirt" she said and took a sip of her glass. 

You laughed low and lifted an eyebrow at her "Well, it looks like you mostly have men over here" you said with a humorous tone. Zemo had no clue who or what we were talking about, but he would sit by your side, smiling and eating your aunt's food.

"Can you judge me? You know how our life works, no time for men while working but now I'm retired... y/n, I'm telling you that's when the fun begins" Irka said eagerly, but you just looked at her with a shocked smile "We have visitors" you said and pointed your fork towards Zemo that was finally laughing and enjoying your embarrassment.
