Marvel One Shots

Scott x Maria

***This chapter contains references and light fluff. That is all***

"God damn it.." I wince in pain as I limp down the basement steps of the old house. I groaned as I was only on step 5 of like, a hundred.  I've never noticed how much I hate stairs until this very moment

"Woah woah woah, take it easy M." A familiar voice sounds ahead of me. I smiled to myself as Hank walks around the corner of the steps and helps me, looping an arm around my waist and holding me tight. His pocket watch digging into my hip

"Thank you Hank." I wrap my arm around his shoulder and lean on him, not a lot as he's older but enough to take the pain off my leg. We hobble down the steps and finally reach the bottom. I give Hank a thank you nod as he goes back upstairs to make coffee for all of us

I hobble over to the fighting area to find Scott, bandaging himself up and a worn out fighting bot Hank designed. I smile and bite my lip as he's shirtless. His abs and biceps clear as day and flawless. Well, besides a few minor bruises and a new open wound of course. Damn I'm a lucky woman. I clear my throat and he looks up at me. He smiles

"Hey! You made it down here." He grabs a clean washcloth and a bottle of disinfectant off the small wooden side table in the room. I step toward him, pecking his lips

"Here, lemme take care of that." I smile and grab the washcloth from him. "Makes me feel useful." I add in as I drench the rag with the disinfectant. He just nods with a small smile

"How's the leg doing today? Again, I'm really sorry about that." He asks. I sit on the stool next to us and shrug

"Doesn't hurt as bad, just a sprained muscle. And if you apologize one more time I'm going to knock you out cold. You were training, it happens." I dab the open wound on his side. He winces and cusses under his breath. I chuckle and continue to wipe up the area, Scott cursing the entire time

"So, uh, random question, and hear me out on this." He starts, turning to look at me. I sit back on the stool and stare up at him. He clears his throat, "I think we should take things.. To the next level.. In the relationship.." He pauses between words

This is the third time he's brought this up. I just, I don't know if I want to, ya know? I don't want to get too attached to him and then him not come back from a mission alive one day. It's scary dating a superhero. Plus, I'm not super. He could easily go find another female superhero and date her. I just sigh and look at him

"I don't know Scott.. Are we ready for that?" I ask. He kneels down in front of me, one hand on each of my knees

"I know we're ready. It's been, what, 6 months? 7? I've already seen you naked and I want to-" he starts but I interrupt him

"Hold on, you've seen me naked? When?!" I ask, humiliation setting in. He fumbles around with words to say and looks away

"I uh, join you in the shower every now and then.." He speaks shyly. My mouth is gaping open, body frozen with shock

"I can't believe you! You invaded my privacy!" I jump up and limp towards the stairs

"M, please! I'm sorry! I was testing out the suit and one thing led to another. After the first time I just kept ending up on the shower head." He jogs after me, catching me before I reach the stairs

"How dare you Scott." I turn around, speaking through gritted teeth. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked everywhere but at him. My body felt hot with rage and embarrassment. I feel so invaded

"Would seeing me naked make you feel better?" He asks. Before I can even comprehend an answer, he hooks his fingers in the waistline of his grey sweatpants and yanks them to his ankles, exposing everything. I look him in the eyes with shock and he just smiles at me

"Why would this make me feel better?" I ask as my eyes trail all over his body. Hm, not bad. Not bad at all

"Well, now we're even?" He raises a brow questioningly. I sigh and relax a little bit staring at his manhood. I sigh again a minute later

"Fine.. But no more watching me in the shower." I scold. He nods and goes to pull up his pants before I stop him. "I never said you could put them back on." I speak, staring at him. He looks at me and nods

"Alright.." He sighs. I step towards him, so our bodies are almost pressed together and run a hand through his soft brown hair as my other hand is placed on his bare shoulder. Maybe we should take things to the next level. Most we've done is make out and sleep in the same bed. But nothing more really. And dating a superhero is hard but, it's worth it

"I think we're ready.." I breathe out and stare into his eyes. Excitement flashes across his face as he grabs my face with both hands and kisses me full force. My lips curl into a smile and I hold him close. He pulls away from the kiss and stares at me with a huge goofy smile plastered on his face. I couldn't help but giggle

"Dinner, tonight. Then my room for dessert?" He asks and raises a brow at me

"Sounds like fun," I chuckle more and peck his lips. "You can put your pants on now by the way, before Hank comes back down." I look at his manhood one last time as he pulls his sweatpants up

"And maybe I can join you in the shower as normal size me next time?" He wiggles his eyebrows at me. I smile more to myself than to him

"I'll consider it." He chuckles

"Good enough for me. Come on, let's get you upstairs to get ready for dinner. What were you thinking of having?" He asks as he wraps an arm around my waist and we head for the stairs

"Hmm. Chinese?" I ask. Wow, I never thought I'd feel so much closer to him by agreeing to move up in the relationship. I'm sure he's over the moon about it. It's practically written all over his face

"Chinese sounds wonderful. You go shower and get ready, I'll order the food and be with Hank while I wait." He states as we walk up the stairs. I smile as we reach the top and limp towards my bedroom, but not before Scott smacked my ass as I walked away. I looked over my shoulder and smirked at him as he did a little triumphant dance before closing my door to shower

Maybe this won't be so bad after all.
