Sliver Sky

Part 29: The Fight

"Where are you going?" Pietro asked as he walked into Sky's room. She was in the middle of tying her hair up when he entered.

"Training with Nat and Clint." Sky told him as she walked over to her sneakers and sat on the bed so she could put them on.

"Again? It's like I never see you anymore."

"You see me right now." Sky said offering him a quick smile, but Pietro pressed his lips into a thin line. "You're the one who wants me to beat you in a fight so I can join the team. I'm training. Honestly you should be flattered that I'm training this much just so I can beat you." Pietro opened his mouth to say something, but closed it when Sky walked out of her room.

"I'm talking to you." Pietro said as he walked up to his girlfriend.

It's been about a month of this. Sky constantly training and Pietro barely seeing her. Pietro was going to make sure that changed. He had to.

"What?" She asked him, stopping to turn towards the silver haired boy.

"I was thinking you take a little break from training because I'm planning another date for us."

Sky smiled, her cheeks turning red. "Oh really? When?" She asked.

"Thursday." He said. Sky looked at him, shocked for a moment before turning around and walking towards the training room.

"Cool. I have to go train. See you later, Piet."

"Bye." Pietro smiled to himself. Sky reacted just as he had hoped. Pietro knew she would. Thursday was Sky's birthday.

Technically Sky hadn't told anyone when her birthday was, but Pietro found out from Wanda who had read her mind. Pietro wasn't sure why she didn't tell anyone and Wanda hadn't looked that deep into it.

"So, you think I'm ready?" Sky asked as she stood in the middle of the mat, sweating, her hands against her knees as she leaned over, panting heavily.

"I don't know, what if something happens, like—" Suddenly an arrow flew at Sky's head and she quickly ducked out of the way and Clint continued to shoot at her. Natasha then rejoined the girl on the mat and attempted to tackle her.

"Work on your blocking." The redhead said as she punched Sky in the stomach.

"Ah!" She grunted.

Sky then grabbed onto Natasha's arm as she tried to punch her again. Sky pulled Natasha's arm behind her and flipped her onto her back.

Sky stared in shock at what she had done. Even Clint stopped shooting his arrows and walked over to Natasha.

"You good, Nat?"

"Yup." She answered as she flipped up. "Good job, but I was totally going easy on you."

"Whatever you have to tell yourself, Nat." Sky said with a proud smile on her face.

"Ok, ok, go take a shower. You stink." Sky stuck her tongue out at Natasha as she walked out of the trading room and found Pietro standing outside.

"Hey?" Sky asked as she looked at her boyfriend confused. "We're you waiting outside for me?"

"Uh...yeah."

"Ok. What's up?" Sky asked as she walked down the halls.

"I was...I was wondering—"

"Can this wait. I promise I'll talk to you after I take a shower, I just feel bad. I don't think anyone wants to smell me right now." Pietro nodded slowly. "Thanks, love you." Sky said before entering her room.
