Guardians of my Heart (xReader)

Chapter 5

"Where the hell have you been?!" Tony shouts.
"I went to wake you up and you were gone! We've been looking for you for two hours!"

"She was with Loki." Thor says.

"Wait, what were you doing with Loki?" Steve asks surprised.

"I wasn't doing anything. Oh my god we just talked. And I fell asleep."

"We're glad your still alive." Natasha says giving me a quick smile.

"He didn't seem that dangerous. Besides I can protect myself. I've fought together with my family many times."

"Not seeming dangerous is what makes some people dangerous! What would I tell your dad?" Tony yells.

"Calm down. Nothing happened. You don't have to tell my dad anything."

Tony rubs his temples. "Ok, kid. You're fine so let's just forget about this."

I nod and everyone else seems relieved that Tony calmed down.

"Anyway, get ready. Peter is going to be here in about 20 minutes."

I go to my room and get ready. I put on some black jeans and an oversized grey shirt which I tuck into my jeans and then put my hair into a messy bun. After that I make my way back to the living room/kitchen.

The only people left are Tony and Natasha.

"Hey, kid. I made you some toast for breakfast. You must be starving." Tony points at the toast on the counter.
I didn't even realise how hungry I am before that. I eat the toast in less than two minutes.

"Sir, Peter Parker is here." A voice says. I know now that it is Tony's AI.

"Let him in."

The door opens and a boy with brown curly hair and hazel brown eyes comes in. My eyes widen. I didn't expect him to be so good looking. I know I said Loki was beautiful but Peter is too, but in a different way. He isn't mysterious like Loki. He is cute and adorable. Like a puppy. Or baby Groot.

"Hey Peter. This is y/n." Tony points at me and Peter looks surprised.

"Hey, I- I'm Peter." He holds out his hand and I shake it.

"I'm y/n."

We shake hands a little too long. When Peter realises he quickly lets go.

"So, Peter. I really hope you guys get along because she'll be going to school with you."

"Oh, really? That's cool." Peter looks at Tony then at me and back at Tony. I can tell he is nervous. So am I but I try to hide it as good as possible.

"We'll leave you guys alone. Get to know each other, kids." Tony says. Natasha winks at me and then they both go leaving me and Peter alone. We stand there in an awkward silence until he finally says something.

"So you're from, um, space, right?"

"Yeah. My father was born on earth, though."

I look to the ground nervously.

"Do you maybe want to go to my room?" God that sounds so wrong.

"Yeah, sure."

We walk to my room and get stopped by Tony on the way.

"Oh, hey I was about to come to you. Here, I have something for you, y/n."
He pulls out a small box and gives it to me.

"What's this?"

"A phone. You'll need it. Peter will show you how it works."

"Thank you, Tony." I smile at him and then continue going to my room.

"Wait, your room is next to mine?" Peter asks.

"Oh, yeah right. Tony mentioned that." I totally forgot about that.

We go into my room and sit on my bed.

"So. How does that thing work?"

Peter explains everything. He also gives me his number in case I want to text him.

"Thanks, Peter."

"You're welcome."

Now it's quiet again.

"Umm, should I put on some music?" I ask.

"Yeah, sure."

I put on 'Come and get your love' which is one of my dads favourite songs. We'd always sing to the songs on his mixtape. I decide to download all of them to be reminded of him.

"I like the music." Peter says sounding honest.

"Yeah, me too. My dad and I always listen to these songs."

I sing along to the songs quietly and Peter just listens. He sings during the chorus, though.
After a while he gets up and looks at the pictures on my shelf.

"Is that your family?"

"Yeah. That's my father. That's Gamora. She's like a mother to me. Drax. Mantis. Rocket and Groot." I show him everyone on the pictures.

"Rocket is a raccoon? And Groot is a... tree?" He laughs a little.

"Yeah, but don't let Rocket hear you call him that. He hates it." I chuckle.

"Let's go eat dinner. I'm hungry."

"Yeah, me too."

We go to the kitchen where Wanda is cooking something.

"I was just about to come and get you guys. Dinner's almost ready."

We sit down at the counter and watch her cooking.

"Hey, where is everyone?" Peter asks.

"Oh, something came up. I wanted to stay here."

We eat dinner together and make some smalltalk. I wish Tony was here. It seems like he always knows what to say to make a situation feel less awkward. After we finish I get up to go to my room but Peter grabs my wrist to stop me.

"Do you want to, um, maybe watch a movie?" He looks a little nervous.

"Yeah, sure." I say and smile.

"Great! Let's go to the movie room."

I follow him down some stairs and into a big cozy room.

"Have you ever watched Star Wars?"

I shake my head no.

"It's my favourite movie! Let's watch it!" He seems so happy that we are going to watch this it makes me laugh a little.

Peter gets us something called popcorn and we sit on the couch. The popcorn is delicious. We watch the movie and it is actually pretty good. After the movie I tell him how different it is from the actual life in the galaxy and he listens interested.

"Let's go to bed." I say yawning.

Peter agrees and yawns too. We go to our rooms and say goodnight to each other. I get into bed and immediately fall asleep thinking about Peter.
