Forever

35

Bree's sitting in the living room the next morning when she begins to hear movement coming from the bedroom. She smiles a bit and quietly makes her way over to peak around the corner and see Pietro stretching out his arms and yawning. He drops them and looks over at the movement as she crawls up on the bed and straddles his waist.

"Goodmorning, sleeping beauty." She whispers while leaning over him and pushing his hair behind his ear as he grins up at her.

"Beauty?" He sighs and she nods with a lip-biting grin.

"Beautiful." She places her finger on his lip and he smiles.

"Thank you, Anjel."

"No problem."

She leans down to press a smooth and long kiss to his lips before slowly sitting up as he gets up to his elbows with her.

"I love you." She places her hands on his shoulders and he chuckles while taking gentle hold of her bicep.

"I love you too."

"It's so weird to say that." She shakes her head with furrowed brows and a smile. "But it's..." She shakes her head.

"...right." He finishes her sentence for her and she nods while sliding her hands down to his chest. "I know." He agrees while nodding with a small smile and places his hand on her hip.

"Something about saying it to you, of all people, is what gets me." She shakes her head.

"Yeah?" He raises a brow and she nods while biting her bottom lip. "It's different." He holds her hip tighter.

She looks down in suspicion before he rushes forward to throw her to her back and lean between her legs, resting on his forearms. She shouts a laugh of surprise and he smiles at her as she wraps her arms around his neck and he relaxes on top of her.

"What is the something so interesting about it?" He asks with his hands in her hair.

"I've liked you since we met and being able to say, I love you, to you just blows my mind." She shakes her head with a light chuckle and he smiles.

"You have?" He adjusts himself.

"Everyday." She shakes her head. "Of course, there was no chance that this was gonna happen, I had no faith." She furrows her brows and he nods. "And when I finally came home, it was like an instant attachment, I wanted to be your friend, your best friend." She smiles. "And I got this instead." She grazes her finger tips against his cheek.

"Thank God." He brushes his thumb across her bottom lip and she nods. "Thank you, God."

He gently presses his lips on hers and she pulls him closer to hug his neck while crossing her ankles above him, locking him in place.

"Where have you two been for the past three days?" Clint puts his arms out as his eyes widen and all smile as Pietro and Bree step out of the elevator.

"My floor." She sits with him beside her.

"Do we not exist to you anymore?" Sam nods and both of them pretend to think before slowly shaking their heads.

"Wow." Wanda nods and Pietro looks at her before laughing a bit.

Bree throws herself over Pietro and into Wanda to hug her neck with a bright smile, gaining a grunting chuckle in return as she hugs back. Bree lets go a few seconds later and sits back down with her legs folded beside her and his arm over her shoulders.

Tony steps out of the elevator as well a few minutes later and looks at Bree before turning away and shaking his head. Her brows furrow and she looks at Nat for an explanation while she holds down a smile.

"We asked Friday to see your floor two days ago."

"And?" She slowly nods with raised brows and a racing heart.

"She wouldn't let us." Peter chuckles deeply with a bouncing knee and she sighs fast in relief.

"Okay, well, that's your own damn fault for getting nosy!" She shouts to Tony while Pietro sits with his head hung and a grin.

"You're a bad person." Tony shakes his head.

"Ha!" She laughs. "Okay, playboy." She rolls her eyes and the others laugh a bit. "How do you think me and Morgan happened?" She throws her hand.

"All right, yeah, whatever, I get it." He waves her off and sits on the couch.

"Exactly." She nods and sits back into Pietro, who smiles down at her.
