Peter vs reality

13- Stronger together

PETER POV
The whips of Matthews belt continued as I was wedged against a wall and a large box. That box was my nightmares it held all the weapons and objects May and Matthew would beat me with.
Peter
I heard my name being said between the whips. I brushed it off as a headache.
PETER
There it was again. My name.
PETER WAKE UP FOR GODS SAKE

I sat up straight and opened my eyes realising I had a flashback in front of everyone I know they probably expected it after what just happened but I still felt so squished in this large room. Everyone started leaving after taking a good look at me. When they left I realised I was still with Bucky, Tony and Natasha.

"Peter?" Bucky asked carefully.
I couldn't even look at them. I just nodded as I felt hot tears flow down my cheeks. Before I knew it I was being pulled into a hug by Bucky.

"Buck" I said in between breaths.
"Yea bud?"
"Thank you.. for everything. For wanting to adopt me, for being so nice and thank you for being there for me"
"Of course, Peter, I would do anything for you, I want you to know that"
I nod wiping my tears. I look up and see tony sat on the end of the couch I'm still sitting on. I see Nat knelt on the floor beside me with a cut on her forehead and a black eye forming.

"What happened to you?"
"You know the usual, kicking ass" Nat replies smiling.
I smile back and realise I'm still leaning against Bucky.

I hop up from the couch.
"I'm just gonna go shower" I say before looking directly at Bucky.
"Then I was hoping we could go get those adoption papers we need"
Bucky doesn't answer he just jumps up, smiles and hugs me.

Im released from his grasp as I walk away to go get cleaned up. I walk in to the bathroom and turn the shower completely cold. I always loved freezing showers, they were just so much more relaxing.

After about 5 minutes I turn it off and get changed.
(For some reason my pictures aren't losing Sorry, I was gonna show the outfit)
I put on my flannel shirt covered by a sweater and because I'm freezing a hoodie on top. I put some jeans on and my sneakers before dashing back out to meet Bucky and Nat waiting by the elevator.

"Hey guys, Natasha have you decided to tag along?"
"Yeah, why not I have to go past the shop anyways"
"What for? ICE CREAM" I yell
"Not what I was going for but we can totally get some, the last question though, what flavour?"
"CHOC-CHIP" Bucky and I yell at the same time.
We all burst out in laughter. Bucky is knelt over holding into his knee while laughing and Nat and I are hardly standing. I'm not sure why but I was just so funny.

A loud cough interrupts our laughing session. We all look up to see Steve. I look across to see Nat and Bucky both death glaring so I join in.

"Peter? I thought you loved me?! Why are you all glaring!" He states before turning away and leaving.
"I'm sorry Capsicle!" I yell just enough so he can hear me.
"Capsicle!" Steve questions whilst charging at me.

For some reason I wasn't afraid of his actions I simply started laughing again. Followed by Bucky and Nat. Steve walks over to me and throws me over his shoulder before taking me over to the couch and dropping me face first.

I just lay there laughing. I am so happy I am with people who care a lot.
