Sokovian Bastard

20

Two and a half weeks into Pietro and Lylas secret relationship and the Avengers still haven't got a clue. Peter still tries to speak to her more than Pietro but, she always gets distracted by insulting him, annoying Peter and amusing him at the same time. They continue their meet ups on her floor and good mornings in his room.

At school, the students have thankfully calmed from their excitement but, now, Lyla has become 'popular'. People know her name, they smile when they see her, wave, and actually speak to her. She's grateful for the support but, she definitely misses when people ignored her and didn't even know her name. It was great and quiet but, she still loves how people are happy to see her.

"Another. Party?" Lyla looks up at Tony through her lashes, trying to work on her mini Vision.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Fun."

"Seriously?"

"You get to sing again." He smiles.

She squints her eyes at him before sighing.

"Fine."

"Oh, good." He grins. "Now, I gotta convince the others."

"No you don't. I'll handle it."

"Even better." He shakes his head.

Lyla chuckles and gets back to work, almost done.

"When?"

"Two days. Friday."

"Okay. So, I think I'm gonna get this done by then. Surprise them after the party."

"Oh, do that." He smiles. "Good idea."

"I know." She shrugs.

-

Lyla ended up spending a few hours on it, Tony working on upgrading another suit across the room. They appear in the common room with a loud thud, scarring everyone but Pietro, who's gotten used to it over the past two weeks she's been doing it to him, and taking their unassigned-assigned seats.

"Hey, Lyla." Peter waves.

"Sup?" She nods upwards before turning to her phone.

"Lyla."

"Pietro."

"Lyla has to tell you guys something." Tony smirks.

"Hmm? Oh. Right."

"What is it?" Vision asks.

"My father is having another party Friday and you have to go."

"Do we have a choice?" Steve asks for everyone.

"What do you think?" Pietro motions to Lyla. "She's the one who said it. We don't have a choice."

"That's right." Lyla grins.

"Awesome." Nat nods.

"You guys always complain and then always enjoy it." Tony waves them off.

"Mhmm." Lyla agrees. "I get to sing again."

"Is that why you agreed so easily?" Thor assumes.

"Yes."

"Of course." Sam sighs.

"Act like you don't like my singing." She shrugs.

"Can't." Tony and Peter shrug, too.

Pietro rolls his eyes at Peter when she looks over at him, holding a laugh as he shakes his head at her.

"Was that code?" Clint asks.

"What?" Lyla chuckles.

"You guys just did something." Nat points. "What was said?"

"We didn't say anything." Pietro smiles.

"No but, you did something." Bucky nods.

"Oh my god." Lyla rolls her eyes. "No we didn't."

"I will find out what was said." Nat states.

"Good luck." She grins. "Nothing was said."

Wanda just sits with a small grin, leaning against Vision, knowing exactly what was said.

"Wanda knows." Bruce points.

"I do but, it doesn't matter." She chuckles.

"Why can't we know then?" Thor challenges.

She just waves them all off while rolling her eyes, Vision being the only one who knows seeing as, she had to tell somebody. Lyla and Pietro know that he knows and are fine with it, knowing he won't tell anybody.

-

Lyla has been waiting in her living room for a few minutes for Pietro to show up when all of a sudden, she's straddling his lap, him holding her waist as she smiles of surprise.

"Whoa." She breathes.

"Good view." He smirks.

"Yeah, tell me about it."

She smashes their open lips together, softening and smiling at the contact.

"What took so damn long?" She chuckles.

"I'm sorry." He smiles. "They were talking to me, I couldn't get away."

"How did you get away?"

"Peter started talking so, I left." He shrugs.

"Ah, yeah, that'll do it." She nods. "I honestly feel bad for being a bit of a dick to him but, at the same time, he's really annoying so, I kinda don't."

"Mhmm."
