Satine steps out of the closet and closes the door behind her as Peter throws on a t-shirt and sits at the end of the bed.

"Are you planning on going somewhere later?" He asks, while slipping on his shoes.

"No." She parts her hair to the side with a sigh. "The outfit's newer and I wanted to wear it."

"You look beautiful in it." He pulls her closer.

"Thank you." She slowly smiles as he wraps his arms around her thigh and waist.

He lays his head on her front, while holding tight to her sides, and she pushes her fingers in his hair with a small grin, cooing him enough to close his eyes.

"I'm surprised you woke up this morning." She just about whispers with a soft voice. "You were very tired last night."

"SpiderMan's kind of tiring."

"It takes a lot of strength." She tilts her head. "And, I'm proud of you for it." She states and he slowly grins before looking up at her. "No one could do it better than you."

"I love you so much." He sighs wholeheartedly.

"I love you too, Малыш."

Satine steps into the common room and heads directly for the couches, where she gently takes Ruby Marie's hand to steal her away from her conversation with Pietro. She smiles and waves goodbye as he sits back with a chuckle, while pushing his fingers through his hair.

Satine drags her to the kitchen, where they can socialize with Nat, Wanda, and Yelena, who has managed to make this her second home after a few years of quick visits.

"So I meant to ask yesterday when we got back," she leans her elbows on the counter as Ruby Marie pulls her hands together in front of her, "what happened between you and Steve after the wedding?"

"What do you mean?" Nat opens a water bottle.

"Well, I mean, you danced together and then, suddenly, vanished, I was a little confused." She shakes her head with a raised brow and the girls immediately turn to Nat as she sets the bottle down.

"Satine."

"Hmm?" She grins.

"You know exactly what happened." She turns to walk away, but Yelena immediately pulls her back, gaining a sigh in return. "What?"

"Are you serious?" Wanda asks with a bright smile and she nods.

"How did that go?" Yelena smirks and she hesitates before she grins just barely, while crossing her arms.

"And, I'm willing to bet my dads entire bank account to say you haven't done shit about it." Satine points and Nat lowers her head a bit. "Yeah." She nods, disapproving.

"You haven't tried talking to him about it or anything?" Ruby Marie asks with wrinkled brows and she shakes her head.

Movement out of the corner of her eye catches Satine's attention. Peter walks through the doors and turns and she waves a bit, making him smile as she turns back.

"Have you said a single word to him?" Satine shrugs.

"We all went on a mission, while you were gone." She nods and she tilts her head with a soft, but unamused frown. "Whatever, I know, I messes up." She itches her neck and she starts shaking her head.

"No, not at all." She denies softly.

"That's not what we were thinking at all." Wanda states surely.

"This gives you a chance." Ruby Marie nods.

"A great one at that." Yelena agrees indefinitely with her hand on her back. "One you need to go for."

"And, maybe you can have what Wanda and Vision have." Satine points and they grin slightly. "Or, what Peter and I have." She motions as he comes up and kisses her cheek at the exact perfect moment.

"What's going on?" He asks curiously.

"Nothing, go away." She waves him off and he slowly grins before nodding, moving backwards to walk away, as the ladies smile. "And, don't eavesdrop either." She instructs at a low volume and he chuckles as he sits, proving her point. "That's what I thought." She nods as she turns back to Nat, who tilts her head. "Anyway, as I was saying," she continues and they snicker a bit, "this is how you make your move." She nods surely, while tapping the side of her hand to her palm. "This is an opportunity and I say you take it. All in favor of seizing the moment, say 'I.'" She puts her hand up and she rolls her eyes.

"I." All three agree, gaining a small smile in return.

"Majority vote, Momma, you lose." She shakes her head. "Or, do you win?" She squints her eyes a bit and she hesitates, while looking at Steve before she turns back.

"Fine."
