Fall - Pietro Maximoff One Shot

  You were exhausted, not only physically but emotionally and spiritually as well. The world wasn't a kind place, it was certainly much harder for someone like you. For a mutant, for someone who was born with powers they did not ask for. You were generally happy, unwilling to let the world make you doubt yourself.

Strength, that's what the Avenger's and the twins knew you for. Not as your mutant ability but as a personality trait of yours. You were always the one who held everyone up and kept everyone going. You were their backbone. You had always been very good at finding the good in every situation and they never understood how you did it but you did and they were grateful.

However strong you tried to be, you were a mutant but still human. You have breaking points even though you tried hard to keep this part of you hidden away some days it was more obvious than others. You loved to smile and you hated crying, mostly because you thought it made you look like a weak mess.

Tony liked to think of you affectionately as his therapist, to Steve you were a buddy, to Clint and Natasha you were guidance, and to the others? Well, you weren't sure where you stood with them but you knew it was relatively good by the smiles they wore when they left your company. You are no jokester like Clint or Tony, nor were you as smart as Bruce but you managed to relate to them in a way you never planned.

You've lost family, friends; you've been deemed powerless and helpless but always managed to find the good despite this. You loved your life, plain and simple. You particularly loved the male twin known as Pietro. There was something about him that was different than the others, something about him that made you want to be around him. You fell for him about the same night you met him, you don't believe in love at first sight but you most definitely felt something when you met him. Pietro always made you smile when you felt like you just couldn't do it anymore and that's why you were so strong for everyone else. Your secret was Pietro and you were pretty sure he knew it too.

You were sitting on the roof of the tower, in the rain, again. You did this for two reasons, one was that it felt lovely and two? It hid your crying. You would stay here until you were sure that either everyone was asleep or the redness in your eyes and around your nose had long gone. Leaving no traces of the previous pain you felt, leaving your time here as your secret. There usually was only one reason you started to cry like this now, you had been strong too long; held it in too long and it was time to let it all go.

When you stepped out you weren't greeted with emptiness but with Pietro. The two of you shared no words as you walked up to him and threw your arms around him. You weren't sure what was happening, it was as though the two of you knew what the other needed and you were there to fulfill that need. You held onto him, crying and hiccuping but not really speaking. He broke the silence though and in his lovely, pain-numbing accent.

"I vill be here to catch you when you fall, be here to help you no matter vat. I know you try to be strong for everyone but you should know, I'll be here. Everyzing you need to get off of your chest, you can come to me. Forget everzing zat ze others tell you, it's just us vight now." You were sure your face was red but you managed to nod and agree with him.

"I'll hold you until everyzing feels better, until you are no longer in pain." another nod.

After saying these words to you the rain was all you heard. The two of you stood right there, soaked to the bone but having a moment that the both of you would remember for a long time to come. You couldn't remember the last time you had felt so safe, so content, or so peaceful. Your heart felt like it could finally beat without hurting and your wondrous smile returned to your face.

"I told you, I vill catch you when you fall."
