Forever

78

Feburary tenth, Bree wakes in the morning and goes right to the shower, only to come out to find an empty floor. She shrugs it off, figuring Pietro just went off to see Wanda, and heads back to the bathroom to do her hair.

Some time later, she makes her way out of the bedroom with her arms behind her back and he, who now sits on the couch, turns before he gasps loudly, causing her to freeze with wide eyes.

"What?" She chuckles.

"So pretty." He points and she smiles brightly while nervously pulling on her fingers behind her.

"It's your birthday, I wanted to look pretty for you." She skips to stand in front of him with a soft and sweet voice.

"Oh, my God." He mumbles behind grinning teeth while shaking his head and holding her hips. "You're so cute." He pulls her closer.

"Whatever." She waves him off, all flustered by his words with a blush on her cheeks, making him chuckle as she sits on his lap. "What do you wanna do today?"

"Well, I already went to a quick breakfast with Wanda. She wanted to do something as just us two." He states and she nods in understanding. "Now..." He looks up at her. "I just want to spend the rest of the day with my favorite person." He grins softly as she lays her arm over his shoulders. "What do you want to do?"

"It's not up to me." She chuckles with wide eyes. "It's your choice."

"I don't know." He shrugs dramatically while sitting back, pulling her with. "I usually just follow your lead."

"Well, I'm following yours." She folds her legs up beside her with her hand on his chest. "Is there something you've wanted to do for a while? Did you want me to do something? Is there a movie you wanted to go see? Anything." She shrugs and he slowly grins while looking her up and down.

"I want you..." He nods slowly.

"Mhmm."

"To walk around shirtless for the rest of the day." He smirks and she tilts her head with an unamused grin.

"Baby."

"Hmm?"

"Go bigger." She shakes her head.

"Hey, you're the one that said anything I wanted." He points and she chuckles. "This is something I want very bad."

"Okay, fine." She nods and he nods back. "How 'bout we treat this like a 'yes' day."

"A what?"

"A day where I have to do whatever you tell me to do and I can't say no." She sighs nervously.

"Oh, well, I love that idea." He shrugs.

"Oh, God." She sings with wrinkled brows. "Now I'm scared."

"I won't go too far." He smirks. "But I will go far." He nods sideways and she chuckles.

"You wanna go for a test run?" She asks and he snickers while biting his lip. "Tell me what to do."

"I already like where this is going." He shakes his head.

"Focus." She laughs a bit with tapping his chest.

"Take off your shirt." He repeats.

"Oh, my God." She sighs as she stands with a bright smile.

She turns around to face him before she does as told, preparing herself for spending the rest of the long day like this. She drops the shirt on the coffee table and pulls her arms together behind her with a lip-biting smile.
