13. Because I'm in love with you no matter how fucked up our relationship is.

You and Pietro had an extremely destructive relationship. You definitely loved each other, almost too much. Your relationship grew toxic. It was venomous. Poisonous.

You were constantly fighting, screaming at each other, breaking things but the moments that hurt the most were when you both just stopped. Stopped your stupid war and just gave up. It was tiring and repetitive, eventually you both just stopped fighting for what you wanted. This was when your friends became the most concerned, you and Pietro would stay on your floor, isolated from the rest of the world. You wouldn't talk or look at him. You couldn't. You were currently in one of these lethal situations.

A brave Clint confirmed to the others that you were both still alive but were not fighting or fucking. They needed to get you both back to civilisation and Tony had the perfect occasion, he had been planning this formal party for months but wouldn't tell anyone why. You were sitting on a sofa you had moved in front of a window, so you could look at something that wasn't a painful reminder of the fatal attraction you were caught in. Natasha and Wanda had come upstairs in the hopes you would let them drag you away to get you ready for the party, surprisingly they were met with no resistance. They put you in a tight floor length, gold glitter dress with a plunge front and low back with tiny straps, Nat did a smoky brown eye shadow and berry lip look while Wanda put your hair into a slicked back low ponytail and helped you pick a pair of nude heels. They even managed to make you giggle a little, it felt like you hadn't laughed in weeks. Noticing that the girls didn't seem like their normal selves you realised that everyone was affected by you and Pietro and it wasn't fair. You decided that you would be happy tonight, even if you had to pretend.

You could hear the music from downstairs, the girls had left you with a - now empty - bottle of wine before they went to help Steve and Bucky with anything that needed setting up, gathering your dress in your hands you walked to the elevator and made your way downstairs. Once the doors opened you stepped towards the railing on the balcony overlooking the main floor, searching through the people in the room you found the familiar faces of people you would happily call family. Wanda saw you and waved you down, you seemed to glide over to the staircase and slowly stepped down, stopping halfway when your eyes found the blue eyes you fell in love with. Continuing down the glass stairs, you let your eyes wonder over him in his tux until they met the manicured hand on his chest. A busty, brunette in a tight black dress clung onto him while he had his arm around her. Tears stung your eyes, but you wouldn't let them fall, thankfully Wanda had seen the same thing you had and led you towards the bar.

"I can't believe he would do this!" "Wanda, calm down, you and I both know this isn't the first time this has happened." In fact this had happened many times before, it was game you and Pietro played. You started it. A jealous Pietro was a sexy Pietro in your eyes, so you would dance with a guy, flirt a little, maybe a peck - ensuring Pietro could see everything - and that night you and him would have the best sex. That's how it was at first at least, then you would both start doing it just to piss the other off and the night wouldn't end in sex but in a fight. "But I know it still hurts you." The younger Maximoff quickly pulled you into a hug then brushed a betraying tear away. "Come, Tony is making a speech now." She handed you a glass of champagne that you downed before getting another and following her to the others.

You were feeling a little fuzzy, but were more shocked than anything, turns out the 'speech' was actually Tony and Pepper announcing their engagement, you and everyone else were congratulating them. It was really early in the morning when Steve had taken charge and shut the party down, the guests left and only the team was left, and Pietro's 'date'. Tony and Pepper had left the party an hour ago, they went to the private airstrip to get on the plane to who knows where. Everyone else was sat around the couches, drinking even more, you tried to relax but he was sitting right there and it didn't help that this girl kept giggling and staring at you while he whispered in her ear. She let out a particular loud shriek and you were done.

"Will you SHUT UP!!" Heads turned in your direction and the girls eyes briefly widened before an evil smirk was plastered on her face and she snuggled into Pietro. "Am I bothering you?" "Are you serious? You are bothering everyone, you are only here to make me jealous, any other day and he wouldn't take a second glance at a skank like you! You know what, you are not even worth the calories I burn talking to you." You stood up, took a breath and turned around to walk away. That was the plan until you heard a hysterical 'fuck you, bitch' from behind you. You turned around only to be met with a weak slap on your left cheek, you retaliated by slapping her as hard as you could, picking herself off the floor she lunged for you again but Pietro held her back and Bucky stood next to you protectively, "What is wrong with you Pietro?! Why the fuck are you protecting her?" Sam took the girl from Pietro and led her to the exit. "What's wrong with you Printsessa?" You stormed up to him and slapped him as well. "You don't get to call me that after tonight!" Natasha pulled you away from him and was leading you towards the stairs, but Pietro wasn't done. "After everything we have done to each other, why do you still care?" "Because I'm in love with you no matter how fucked up our relationship is! Because I still love you, even though I should know better. I should hate you, but I can't." Your voice died down from a shout to a whisper and you turned away for the last time that night, getting in the elevator with Natasha, Wanda and breaking into sobs once the doors closed.

Toxic. Venomous. Poisonous.
