Responsibility: Gwen Stacy x Male Reader

Berlin Burnout

9:00 AM, Bucharest, Romania

Pietro was anxious. 

He had been ever since this entire shitshow started... sure. 

But this was a different kind of anxiousness. 

He almost felt scared.

Pietro was tasked with keeping Cap from doing anything stupid.

Him... tasked with keeping a legend in check?

He would laugh if he weren't the butt of the joke.

So to settle his nerves, he tried to call his girlfriend.

'The number you're trying to call is currently switched off.'

He felt some sense of jealousy and a bit of despair at the ring not going through.

Was she with someone else even right now?

He couldn't be mad, he was the one who brought up this arrangement in the first place.

But even then, this suit felt like a coffin on himself as he stared at his phone.

At times like this, one needs the comfort of a loved one.

He had tried calling Wanda too, but again, no dice.

She had her own thing going on... maybe she just didn't have the mental energy to deal with him.

He couldn't blame her.

But then his fingers automatically hovered towards (Y/N)'s number on his contacts.

He pondered for a moment... would he pick up?

His fiance was pregnant and he had seen first-hand how demanding Gwen could get.

He didn't want to intrude on his friend like that.

But despite himself, he clicked on (Y/N)'s contact and called him.

He picked up on the first ring.

"Hey." He said as Pietro's eyes widened, "What's up?"

"Sorry, Did I wake you up?" Pietro asked, even though it was 9:00 AM, he knew the couple were on a mini vacation in Austria.

"Kind of? It's fine. Is everything okay with you, Man? You don't sound so good." (Y/N) immediately picked up on his anxiety.

Pietro paused as he asked the question himself...

Ever since (Y/N) saved him and Clint from that barrage of machine gun bullets. He had gained much more perspective on his own life and how fragile it was.

He had gained mortality.

Even worse, or better in some cases. He had started to see other people as mortal as well.

That's why he had signed the accords, that's why he wanted this thing to go through.

So they couldn't just play god and expect to get away without consequences.

"I'm about to go and make sure Captain America doesn't do anything stupid..." Pietro sighed. "How do you think I feel?"

He heard (Y/N)'s soft laughter on the other side before he spoke. "I understand how you feel, I know you and me might disagree on the Accords and that's fine. But I'll warn you... Cap won't stop until he finds James."

Pietro sighed. "I know, Brother. I know."

"...But if anyone can stop from things getting too out of hand... I know it's you, Pietro."
