Avengers 7 Minutes in Heaven & Imagines

Geek Talk ~ Steven Grant

*mention is sa*
Y/N POV
"Wait, wait, wait! Medusa is Medusa because Poseidon assaulted her?" Steven asks, sitting up from the blanket with a confused face.

"Yup and depending on the version you're told, in one she asks Aphrodite for help and out of jealously of Medusa's beauty she turned her into a gorgon. In another version, she went to Athena and she turned Medusa into a Gorgonzola to protect her from ever being assaulted again," I explain before popping a grape into my mouth.

"That is unbearably sad," I nod in agreement with Stevens words. His sad face fades as he looks up at me with a smile. "What other facts do you know? I'm not well versed in Greek mythology,"

I can't help but chuckle lightly before scooting closer to him, careful not to ruffle the picnic blanket. "Let me think," I mumble as I try to think of one. "Oh you know the horse Pegasus?"

"The one with the wings?" He questions.

I nod vigorously before continuing. "He's Medusa's son. When she was killed by Perseus through decapitation, Pegasus flew out of her neck. He's the son of Poseidon, the product of Medusa's assault,"

"That was equally sad and interesting. What else you got?" He question with a big grin on his face, completely invested in what I'm telling him. My heart swells a bit as he gives me an open opportunity to ramble about Greek mythology for as long as I want.

"There's a long list of weird and gross things that Zeus has done,"

"Oh boy," He chuckles, grabbing a slice of apple and popping it into his mouth.

"So, he was a man whore basically, despite being married. He cheated on his wife Hera multiple times which is super sad. But he'd go to the extent of turning into animals and even inanimate things like a cloud,"

"He turned into a cloud? To seduce a woman?" He questions, absolutely appalled with Zeus' actions.

"Mhmm," I hum in response before scooting a bit so my back is towards Steven. I then lean back and let my head rest in his lap. His eyes widen as his face reddens ever so slightly. I can't help but smile up at him. "Oh!" I say as I remember something else. "He had a wife before Hera. She was a titan named Métis. He became worried that their children would try to overthrow him, like he did to Cronus. So he convinced her to turn into a fly and then he ate her,"

Steven chokes on his juice ever so slightly before swallowing and looking down at me. "He ate her!?"

"Yup!"

"That's bloody crazy! He ate his wife to avoid being overthrown,"

I sit up with excitement. "I know right! He was so selfish and control crazy! What's even crazier is that after a while he began to have a piercing headache. Hephaestus cut open his head and Athen popped out,"

"Out of his forehead!?"

"And not even as a baby. As a fully grown warrior!"

"Jesus! Karma hit him like a bus huh?" Steven chuckles causing me to do the same. Our giggles die down slightly and I look up to see him already looking at me. Without even thinking, I lean over and place my lips on his. He's non responsive for a few second before slowly kissing me back.

I sink into the kiss, my hand resting on his chest as our lips dance together. I pull away with a smile to see Steven's completely smitten face. His eyes widen with embarrassment and he quickly grabs my waist, pulling me onto his lap. He pressed his face into the crook of my neck to his his blush. I can't help but smile, hugging him back and playing with his hair gently.

I kiss his cheek softly before whispering beside his ear. "You don't have to be embarrassed Steven, you do know that right?" I try to reassure the adorable British man who's currently clinging to me for dear life. He doesn't move yet. "Steeven," I almost sing with a laugh. He finally pulls away a bit so I can see his face.
