Forever

10

The next morning, Bree puts on some comfy clothes and straightens her hair a bit to make it nicer then the air dried mess from last nights shower. She does her usual makeup and goes to the living room with her phone, though just sits there in silence for a good ten minutes.

She looks over at the kitchen and sighs before rubbing the inside corners of her eyes and heading over there. She opens the fridge to find plenty that she could eat, same as in the pantry, but ignores it all. She sighs and leans her back against the island counter to set her head in her hands before running her fingers through her hair.

She takes a deep breath and heads back to her couch to lay down on her front with her head in her arms and a heavy and deadly mind.

Once Bree feels she is finally ready, or at least a little, to go down to the others, it's already one in the afternoon and they're surprised to see her.

"She's alive." Clint teases and they smile a bit as she rolls her eyes.

"Shut up." She sits next to Pietro with her knees folded beside her. "I've been awake for hours, just didn't feel like coming down here."

"What, you not like us anymore?" Tony jokes.

"No, you guys suck." She grimaces and they chuckle. "Accept for you." She points at Morgan and she smiles. "You're great."

"Wow." Pepper nods. "At least we know you love your sister." She shakes her head.

"Soulmate." She corrects.

"Right, sorry." She nods with a smirk and she smiles a bit.

She turns away while setting her arm on the back of the couch. She pushes that hand in her hair as her smile slowly disappears and she stares at nothing ahead. The ones who witnessed the change furrow their brows slightly and look to each other to see who saw it.

"Hey." Pietro whispers worriedly while tapping her knee and she looks up at him. "You alright?" He asks and she nods with a small grin. "No, you're not." He shakes his head in doubt and she stays quiet and just stares.

"Hey, Bree." Nat calls with a distraction of some kind and she quickly looks over while holding back visible tears. "I meant to say last night, but was interrupted, I loved your dress. Did you get it here or in LA?"

"LA."

"It was beautiful." Wanda nods.

"I know." She nods with raised brows. "That's why, if I ever get married, it will be my wedding dress." She states surely and they all smile with a few chuckles.

"Why'd you pick that one for last night, then?" Pepper shakes her head.

"She wanted someone to like it." Morgan tattles and all brows raise.

"Ah!" Bree points with a breathy smile as they all turn to her with agape ones. "No, no." She gets up and picks her up onto her hip while she smiles. "No, we don't need to do that." She chuckles nervously as they start laughing a bit.

She sits her on the counter and quickly holds her face with wide eyes while she smiles brightly and shrinks into herself.

"That was perfect." Peter whispers with a smile and some nod in agreement.

She comes back a few seconds later and Morgan goes back to Pepper with a smile as Bree sits in her spot with a nervous grin.

"Anyway." She nods and they chuckle. "I wore it because I've had it for a while and was never..." She starts and keeps looking at Pietro while the others just excitedly watch while holding back laughs. "Never knew when to, uh..." She stares at him and he nods with raised brows and a smirk. "Never knew when to wear it." She finally finishes before smiling. "Oh, my God!" She laughs with wide eyes, making the rest of them laugh while he just gives her a confused and humored look. "What the hell just happened?!" She asks no one behind her hand.

"That was awesome." Clint claps.

"Ugh, fuck you, Dude." She flips him off while standing and he throws his hands out as she walks away.

"What did I do?" He turns to Wanda and she shakes her head at him behind her hand.

He looks back at Bree to see her trying not to laugh with her hands on the counter. He gets up and speeds to her and they all quickly watch as she jumps before laying her head in her hands on the counter as her body shakes with laughter.

"What did I do?" He chuckles while nudging her arm to which she shoos him away. "Nu-uh, what happened?" He shakes his head.

"Go away." She chuckles as she stands and lightly pushes him, making they and he smile. "Get out of here." She waves him off.

"You're so confusing." He shakes his head.

He speeds away and she hunches over with her face by her knees while laughing a bit more in embarrassment and shock at how easy it is for him to distract her and short circuit her brain the way he just did.
