Avengers One shots

Call it Heaven - 5: regrets (Pietro x oc) (Completed)

Caitlin's driving him insane. He's starting to lose control of himself when he's near her and she's so oblivious to how she was making him feel. Pietro was afraid she would reject him and it would ruin their friendship, so he starts to avoid her during the day. Making excuses when she suggests having meals together, pushing her away at night...and it kills him.

Pietro missed her, and worse his plan is working. Caitlin has a programme to follow now making it easier for her to open up to more people. She starts to talk more with her voice, yet with Pietro she prefers to talk inside his head.

Just once he wanted Caitlin to speak his name. She said it was more private, they had this connection... but it riles Pietro up when he sees her talking to men, them obviously doing it for only one thing and her being too naive to realise.

Today she's helping Clint with new recruits as Pietro is trying to punch his frustrations away and still she's completely oblivious to the young men's giggles and stares. It drives him mad, what right did they have to ogle her like that?

One guy 'accidentally' grabs her ass while she's showing him a move and Pietro loses it. Punching the bag across the room he storms over to the group, grabbing Caitlin by the arm and roughly yanking her away.

Pietro? You're hurting me!

"Y/n, put some clothes on." he growls and he knows he's scaring her.

No. What's wrong with you?

"Just put some fucking clothes on! Can you not see what they're saying about you?!"

He points over at the shocked group that's watching them both with interest. White swirls around him and his clothes evaporate leaving him butt naked in front of half the team and the new recruits.

There's nothing wrong with it, see.

Caitlin flashes him a mischievous smile and Pietro's whole body flushes red as he scrambles to cover himself.

"Where the fuck are my clothes?!"

In your room. You don't need them your body is amazing.

It's only then between the giggles and shouts, Caitlin realises why he's so upset. All Pietro can think about is everyone seeing his scars.

Oh no, Pietro, I didn't think, your scars...

"Stay away from me, you're fucking insane! I can't stand you following me around all the time, just leave me alone!" Pietro yelled at Caitlin shoving her away.

Pietro, I'm sorry!

Caitlin lifts her hand to his face and Pietro grabs her wrist making her gasp, his skin burning where it met hers, ""I mean it Caitlin. Don't ever come near me again."

I love you...I just wanted you to understand...

Pietro froze and turned to her with a wicked smile, "I hate you, you're a freak."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Clint runs over and Pietro storms off, leaving Caitlin frightened and sobbing into Clint's arms.

What had he done? Anger makes way to guilt and he sits on the edge of their bed his head in his hands.  Caitlin oves him? Part of him was so happy but he'd fucked everything up, she's scared of him. She's never been scared of him before.

"Neică?"

Pietro looks up at his sister through his fingers and she sighs before sitting next to him on the bed.

"Am incurcat."

"Yes you did, but it will be okay. Vorbeste cu ea," Wanda soothes, leaning against him, "and maybe some good can come from this? You've been inseparable for weeks, this will give you time to think about how you feel."

After his sister leaves Pietro goes for a run, hoping to find Caitlin in the room when he got back. He had his apology planned out in his head, everything he wanted to say to her.

"Micuta mea?" Pietro calls out, only finding their room dark and empty. She didn't come back. She always did after training and they would eat together. Pietro runs to the shared kitchen, the Avengers are there but no y/n and they all glare at him, making him feel even worse. Where was she?

"Have you seen Caitlin?"

"What, so you can make her cry again? I don't think so hotshot." Natasha seethed and threw a plate at him.

He grabbed some food and went back to his room, not surprised to find it still empty. He ate alone for the first time in months, pushing food around his plate. It was so quiet without her. He pulls out his phone to text her but can't find the words. Isn't this what he'd wanted? To push her away? Push her so much that she didn't need him anymore?

Pietro waited, and god knows he wasn't patient. He sits on the edge of bed, jumping up with every voice and footstep that passes by his door. Then he returns to biting his nails at the thought Caitlin wasn't coming back tonight. He'd have to face sleeping without her. What if she never came back? That's when Pietro heard her laughter.

He follows the sound stopping in the doorway watching Caitlin laughing and talking with the team. They were watching some stupid movie, but he couldn't take his eyes from her. She seemed so at ease without him. He loses it when she cuddles up to Steve, leaving before he did something else he would regret. Y/n glances across to the doorway but Pietro's already gone.

His grip on the railing tightens with every angry breath, the lights and noise of the city failing to calm him as they usually did.

Pietro?

He can feel her presence behind him but can't turn around, he doesn't want to scare her again.

I missed you.

Caitlin wraps her arms around his waist, reminding him of the first time he brought her up here and all his anger and jealousy faded away.

"You aren't afraid of me?"

I'm sorry, I was stupid-

"Micuta mea, how can you forgive me so easily? What are you sorry for? You don't need me anymore."

I don't stay with you because I need you...I want to be with you.

"Pietro...I love you."

That was it. Hearing those words, her voice, he knew.

Si eu te iubesc. He whispered into her mind and held his breath as she moved between his body and the railing. 

He feels only the barest brush of her lips against his before a loud crackling burst from the speakers.

"I meant it gonzales, no sex on the roof!"

Pietro huffed and white trails of energy wrap around the speakers, crushing them to bits.

"Quiet Stark."

Caitlin smiles and he grins into the kiss, the strangest sensation running through him. One he hadn't felt for so long. Pietro didn't know what to call it, so he called it heaven.
