Agate

You pulled down your sleeve, making sure to cover the crude words on your hand. Since you were little, you had always dreamed about what your soulmate would say to you. Your questions were answered when the beautifully carved words appeared on your hand when you were 16. Years later now, the prospect of meeting your soulmate made you more nervous with each year.

Your friends and their friends all had sweet messages engraved on their skin. From cute pick up lines, to quirkier ones, to greetings, to normal words someone would say upon meeting their soulmate. But you? No. You were the exception. Sure, it made you anxious to meet your beloved but at the same time, you were comforted that despite how crazy the words were, they were unique. They were different from all the others.

"Earth to Y/N," Pietro called out, "It's time."

Brushing aside your thoughts, you nodded. "Right, sorry."

"Were you having innapropriate thoughts about me again?" He teased.

"You know what, Maximoff?"

Clint shot Pietro a warning look for him to behave. "We're at the drop zone. Remember, bring in the target unharmed," he glanced at Pietro again, "that means no broken bones."

"I swear, it was an accident," Pietro mumbled.

You stepped off the jet while Pietro sped past, purposely close to you so the sudden burst of air caught you off guard. You growled and caught up to him. "Clint said no speed unless needed."

"Clint says a lot of things," Pietro drawled in a heavy accent, "most of which I don't listen to."

You and Pietro were tasked with bringing in a suspected A.I.M agent. This was your first mission with him and although you got along well with him, you didn't know how the two of you would do on a mission, especially since Pietro was prone to doing his own thing and not listening to anyone who wasn't his sister or Steve.

You and Pietro continued the journey with lots of banter. Once in a while you'd spare a glance at his wrist, where you read 'Hi, I'm...' The rest of what his soulmate would first say to him was covered by his sleeve. You sighed. It was just as you were suspecting, nothing out of the ordinary.

"For an A.I.M agent, your aim is worse than a stormtroopers!" You heard a voice shout, followed by gunshots. "Who taught you to shoot? Stevie Wonder?!" You and Pietro gave each other a knowing look and he sped you to the source of the noise.

You got there just in time to find your target dead and Deadpool blowing on his gun.

You had heard many stories about Deadpool, most of them were bad. Now you were finally getting to see if those stories were true. There had been many times when you almost met him, when he was wanted for interfering with Avengers work. But each time he managed to evade the team, so you never got the chance.

"Deadpool," Pietro mused, "Maintaining your reputation, I see."

"Less attractive Maximoff," Wade acknowledged, disinterestedly.

Pietro rolled his eyes and addressed you, "I'm going to update Clint on the situation and see if he can bring the jet by."

You were about to check if the A.I.M agent had anything important on him when you noticed Wade was just staring at you. He looked at you, then away, then back at you, with both hands on his mouth. You narrowed your gaze at him, waiting for him to say something.

"Holy fucking shit, you're hot!" Wade marvelled as he ripped off his mask. "Like, hotter than the bathroom on extra spicy burrito Wednesday."

You pulled up your sleeve and stared in shock as the words matched what Wade said and confirmed what you couldn't believe by starting to glow, and then the color of it becoming a dark red, signifying you found your soulmate. And then you felt it, the connection growing stronger and stronger between you and him. "Oh my God. I think I love you?"

Wade gasped and pulled up his sleeve, staring in amazement as the words on his hand glowed and darkened too. "I think I love you too. Did we just become best friends? I think we did."

Pietro returned from his call with Clint and did a double take when he saw Wade and yours soulmate marks and the two of you standing very close together as Wade flirted with you.

The white haired man looked like everything he knew was a lie as he slowly sat down and stared off into the distance. "I must have died again..."
