Nobody knows the beginning

Chapter 25

(AN: just a quick note so u arent too confused, this whole chapter is memories)

‘Haha bet you can’t top that!’ Clint said to me as he ran off laughing manically while i stood there covered head to toe in glitter. 

‘Oh you little shit!’ i said, laughing and sprinting after him. 

I walked into the kitchen and the conversation immediately stopped as everyone turned to look at me and broke out into hysterics.

I scowled at all of them and asked if they saw where Clint went. 

They pointed to the ceiling, meaning he was in the vents so I wiped the glitter off my hands onto the carpet, much to Tony’s distaste and crawled up the wall into the vent. 

I crawled for what felt like forever. Until i heard voices.

‘Please Bruce, you have to help me hide.’ it was Clint

‘You brought this on yourself, don’t get into a prank war with Peter and expect everyone to help you, he’s ruthless.'

‘Please Bruce’

‘You’re on your own.'

I smiled and thats the moment i jumped down through the vent and webbed clint to the wall. I then grabbed the bleach from out of my pocket and dumped the entire packet in his hair.

Tony was sitting at his desk in his lab, fiddling with something that I couldn't see. 

I knocked gently on the glass door so as not to scare the billionaire. He turned around on his chair and gave me a smile. 

‘Hey Peter, you need something bud?’ he asked gently.

‘No. I'm bored.’ I said awkwardly. 

‘You can help me with this if you want. You might not understand it though because I'm struggling to even comprehend what's going on’, he chuckled and pulled up a seat beside him. I walked over and sat down, looking at the piece of paper. 

I immediately saw his error and picked up a red pen. After about 10 minutes I had solved it and handed him back the piece of paper.

‘Wait what’ he said as his eyes darted across the page.

‘You put the wrong number at the start and this bracket was in the wrong spot.’ I replied, somewhat shyly.

‘Shit, thanks kid! Now I can finish this,’ he showed me a weird looking contraption.

‘What is it?’ I took the gadget from his hands and turned it over to look closer.

‘Its a new cup, its supposed to keep things hot and keep things cold but i can’t get it to work.’

I looked at him slightly confused for a moment. ‘You do know that you can get those from the store, right?’ 

‘Yes I know but I wanted to make one to put into the new STARK homewares collection that Pepper wants by the end of the month.’ 

‘Oh okay,’

I was sitting at a table with a perfectly neat and ironed tablecloth on it. Across from me was Wanda. Looking absolutely stunning in a black silk dress, her hair tied up in a loose bun with a few pieces framing her face. 

‘That book you got me was wonderful Peter, thank you, truly.’

‘Really? Wow, I'm so glad that you liked it.’ I replied smiling. 

‘I really did,’ she was positively beaming. 

‘Well i’m finished, should we get the bill and go for a walk?’ i asked as i began to collect my jacket.

She simply nodded. I paid for the meal and we made our way to central park. We walked along the gravel path and talked for what felt like hours.

It was when we stopped on a bridge that was lit up by fairy lights and overlooking a small river that I knew was the right time. 

I turned to her and I said, ‘Wanda, I think you are the most beautiful, kind and loving person I have ever met. Ever since I moved into the tower you have been there for me no matter what. You were patient when I needed, kind and gentle when I needed and you were even harsh when I needed you to be. I am so grateful to have you in my life.’ i took her hand in mine, ‘so i wanted to ask you something, will you, Wanda Maximoff be my girlfriend?’ 

She was smiling at me larger than i had ever seen and had tears brimming her eyes. 

‘I would love to be your girlfriend Peter.’ and she leaned into me , pressing her mouth to mine.
