Marvel Imagines

Misunderstanding (Pietro Maximoff)

"Well, we are meeting for lunch today." You inform Natasha and Wanda. Both of their faces light up with excitement from the news.

"That'll be great for both of you." Nat replies, a small smile gracing her features as she does so.

"When was the last time you saw him?" Wanda asks while she fiddles with the sleeve of her jacket.

"When he broke free from Hydra. That was during that time S.H.I.E.L.D was compromised and driven into the ground." You state, trying to push back all those horrible memories that are resurfacing yet again.

"Are you sure he's stable now? He was in a pretty bad mental state last time we saw him." Natasha warns you with concern evident in her tone.

"He's stable. I kept tabs on him after he disappeared. He's doing better than ever before." You say with a smile.

You glance down at your watch quickly.

"Crap. I've got to go. I'll see you guys when I get back." You say as you hurriedly embrace the two women.

"Have fun, Y/N!" Nat calls after you as you hurry towards the elevator.

"Will do."

"Bucky! It's so good to see you again." You say with a bright smile as you approach Bucky and hug him.

Bucky returns the hug, squeezing you tightly in his muscled arms.

"It's been forever, doll." Bucky says as he releases you from his warm embrace.

"How have you been, Buck?" You ask as you two take your seats. Bucky pulls out your chair for you in the process.

"I've been pretty good actually. I'm more stable than I've ever been. I sometimes have panic attacks and frequent nightmares, but besides that I'm actually okay for once." Bucky says with a small smile.

"But enough about me, what's life in the tower like?" Bucky says, his soft smile slowly turning into a sly smirk.

"It's great. I feel like the team is more in sync than ever before. We got new recruits, so it's good that they feel welcome and supported." You inform Bucky.

He listens attentively the whole time you're talking to him. Not once does he interrupt or look away from you. You give him the same amount of attention as he opens up to you about what the past few months have been like for him.

When the time comes for you two to part ways, Bucky pulls you into his crushing embrace.

"I missed you so much, Y/N." He mumbles into your hair.

"I missed you too, Buck." You half whisper before pressing a chaste kiss to his cheek. Bucky returns the gesture, before turning away and leaving.

"Until next time, doll." Bucky calls over his shoulder, throwing a sly wink in your direction.

-

You feel as if you're floating as you walk out of the elevator and onto the main floor that housed the Avengers. Your meeting with Bucky really left you feeling refreshed. And for the first time in a long time, you were truly happy.

But all that came crashing down as a frantic Pietro came zooming towards you.

"Where the hell were you?!" Pietro shouted, staring at you with anger glistening in his icy blue eyes.

"I just went out to lunch with a friend." You say, trying to not let Pietro ruin your good mood.

"A friend? From what I saw he looked like a lot more than a friend." Pietro rages, shoving a few photos in your face.

You take the pictures from him and look through them. They were pictures of Bucky and you hugging and him kissing your cheek.

You knew Bucky has feelings for you, but it was practically a one way thing. You viewed your relationship as a friendship, nothing more nothing less.

"We are just friends Pietro, honest." You defend yourself. You see his muscles start to relax as you tell him this.

"Are you sure?" Pietro grabs your shoulders and stares deeply into your eyes, taking only the truth for an answer.

"He's just an old friend, Pietro. I've known him for forever and we've helped each other through some rough times." You say, tearing away from Pietro's gaze and staring at the smooth floor.

"Just ask Cap, Bucky's his friend too." You mumble quietly. You feel Pietro's hands leave your shoulders.

Pietro is oddly quiet as you say all of this, but suddenly his fingertips are under your chin, lifting it up so you can see him.

"I thought you two were something more. I guess I overreacted. I just couldn't bear the thought of someone else having you instead." Pietro confesses, a guilty look present on his face.

"What do yo-"

You are cut off as Pietro's lips find yours in a passionate kiss. You can feel all his emotions in the kiss. Yearning, jealousy, compassion, and love.

"Do you understand now?" Pietro asks when you break for air.

"I sure do." You mumble before leaning in to kiss him once more.
