Red Skull part 2.

After a quick shower,brush of teeth and hair and change of clothes,me and Johann step out onto the streets of New York. It had only been recently that Johann had been allowed to go out during the day time,he had mainly been confined to the tower and only going out at night. But since he had behaved and caused little to no trouble,Johann could go out during the day. Of course because he is dressed in military gear,people would sometimes stare.

"Can you try not to terrify too many people today please" I say as I see Johann glaring at some people
"I make no promises Y/n,you no that" Johann tells me
"I know but still" I say,not to far from Stark tower is a little shop called Graphic Design no one really paid much attention to it,it is one of my favorite shops. A small bell rang as I pushed open the door
"Ah Y/n back again I see" the owner of the shop Mr Cartwright said.

"Yes I am back and I have brought a friend"I say indicating Johann
"You've never brought anyone here before, why the sudden change?" Mr Cartwright asks
"Red here is my Stark case" I tell the old man
"Oh I see" Mr Cartwright says,Mr Cartwright knows I work for Stark Industry but doesn't know all the info of my job.
"So what can I do for you?" Mr Cartwright asks
"I would like a t shirt and hoodie for Red here" I say.

"What size?" Mr Cartwright asks
"Err..." I had no clue"Just a sec"I walk over to Schmidt who is still stood by the shop door,I grab his hand and begin to lead him to the front of the shop
"What are you doing?" Johann asks me
"Mr Cartwright needs to know your size,and the best way to do that is by measuring you" I tell him
"Why?"
"Stop asking questions would you and stand still" I say letting go of his hand once we had reached the other end of the shop.

"Fine" Johann said
"Is that a German accent I hear?" Mr Cartwright asks getting his tape measure out
"Yes" Johann says
"Beautiful country, ofcorse I haven't been back in years not since Mrs Cartwright died" Mr Cartwright said,Johann stood stiffly as he listens to the old man talk. I knew Johann hadn't been back to his home country in years,so I made a mental note to take him one day.

Since Johann is taller than Mr Cartwright,he couldn't reach his shoulders
"Alright young man I'm going to need you to remove your jacket please" Mr Cartwright asks
"What for?" Johann asks me
"To make sure your new clothes fit properly" I tell him,Mr Cartwright went to collect a chair to stand on. I stood and watched as Johann took off his military jacket,I couldn't help but admire his broad shoulders.

With chair in hand Mr Cartwright walked back over to us,he placed the chair beside Johann and climbed onto it
"Would you be a dear Y/n and grab another tape measure please?" Mr Cartwright asks,as he begins measuring Johann's shoulders
"What for?" I ask curiously
"I need you to measure your friends middle,it will get the job done faster" Mr Cartwright says
"OK" I pick up a second tape measure"alright Schmidt stand like a airplane? "
"Excuse me?" Johann asks

"Like this" I say,I raise my arms so they are about shoulder height"See like a plane"
"That looks nothing like aircraft" Johann scoffs
"Just do it" I say,and he complies with no more questions
"Now Y/n I need you to measure his waist" Mr Cartwright said
"His what?" I say
"The thing that is between my chest and legs" Johann says sarcastically
"I known that" I say,I put my arms around his middle to measure his waist. When I check the number at the front,I feel Johann's eyes on me.

I tried not to look into his eyes but I couldn't stop my self, we simply looked at each other for a few moments. Their is something about the way Johann is looking at me,but I couldn't place it
"Eyes forward solider" I say tearing my gaze away. With all the measurements gathered all that is left to do now is chose a colour and design.

"How about a plain black t shirt and hoodie with a red Hydra symbol on the front" I suggest to Johann
"If you think that is best" he says
"OK Mr Cartwright, just as I said" I say to the old man
"And this symbol what does it look like?" Mr Cartwright asks,I grab a piece of paper from the counter and pencil and draw the Hydra logo
"Like this" I say handing the paper over
"Your order will be ready by this afternoon Y/n" Mr Cartwright said.

We left the shop and walked up the road
"Well that took longer than expected" I say"Let's get something to eat" Johann puts his jacket back on and did it back up,I am disappointed though as I like him in the black shirt
"The last time we got food from out here,it made you sick" Johann reminds me
"True but McDonald's is different,their food is actually cooked" I tell him.

After eating we walk around some more not sure what to do,neither of us wanted to go back to the tower yet either. We walked in comfortable silence, I looked at the tall man beside me every so often. Sometimes I would like to know what he is thinking but his face is blank and almost cold. I can't help but think that despite all this time together Johann doesn't actually like me,that he only puts up with because he has to.

It feel's like anytime I try to get close to him,he puts up these walls around him. I don't know if its because I'm friends with his enemy or that he just can't stand me. We stopped on a bridge over a stream and I stood looking into the water lost in thought. I couldn't figure him out, does Johann actually consider me a friend or can he not wait to be rid of me like the others. I've always had trouble with friends before, my friendships never lasted.

Being friends with Tony and the others is different, as until recently I wasn't around them much. To put it simply I have trust issue's,I sighed looking at Johann's reflection in the water. I hate when my insecurity gets the better of me,like it has done now.

Their will be a part 3.
