Mrs. Maximoff

Twenty-two

Y/N's POV

"So, I finally get to meet Ari?" Morgan wiggled their eyebrows at me, joking.

"Yeah, but don't give me any of that teasing tone, she's my colleague and friend." I told them while I finished doing touch-ups for my makeup.

"Y/N, are you aware that you're going together to a party, a halloween party? Honestly, that's my kind of love declaration." They said, getting lost in thoughts, probably thinking about what would happen to them if they were in my situation.

"Earth to Morgan? Oh, come on!"

"What? I just really want to have matching costumes with someone!"

"Really. We literally had matching costumes last year." I told them, sounding rather annoyed.

"I was a bottle of mayonnaise, it wasn't fun."

"But we were matching!" I almost screamed and dropped my arms.

In my defense, it was very last minute and the mayonnaise and ketchup costumes were the only ones I could find.

"You and Ari are literally going as Johnny and Mavis. Johnny and Mavis! They have a child together!" Morgan stated.

"Ari suggested it, I couldn't say no to her! What kind of friend would I be?"

Morgan looked at me as if they couldn't believe what I just said, but I really couldn't tell why.

"She suggested it? And you're actually this oblivious?"

"...Yes?"

"Johnny and Mavis are a couple. THE couple. The couple that made kids and twenty-year-old me believe in love. You don't get it?"

"What am I supposed to get?"

"You really were dropped on your head as a kid, weren't you? I'll have to ask Rose about this." They said ready to walk away into the bathroom, but I stopped them.

"What aren't I getting?"

Morgan sighed before answering. Damn, was it really that bad?

"Jules told me how Ari is, she says that she looks quite...interested in you. If you put that and the fact that she asked you to dress up as a couple together, well...I think that she likes you, but I could be wrong."

Ari? Interested in me? No, absolutely not. It can't be.

"What? No...no. Ari isn't interested in me, we just have a lot in common, that's it. Maybe she wanted to do something fun with the costumes, that's all."

"Yeah, okay, if you think so then I agree with you. Sorry about that."

"It's okay."

"You do look great in that soccer team jersey though."

"Aw, spare the compliments for your girlfriend."

"Whatever, I was just trying to be nice here."

We both finished getting ready and then reached Stewart downstairs.

"Stew-Stew! How are you doing?" He didn't even bother to complain, he knew I was never going to stop.

"I'm okay, Y/N. What about you and Morgan?" He asked, always in his unique Stewart way. Extra politely.

"We're fine!"

"What she said!" Morgan exclaimed. "Stewart?"

"Yes, Morgan?"

"Could we pick someone up before going to the party?" They asked.

They weren't...

"Sure, no problem."
