"That's amazing."

Peter and I had gone back to the apartment and he got changed into some new clothes and let me wear one of his geeky shirts and sweatpants.  He gave me the shirt about telekinesis that he knew was my favourite.  While in the bathroom, I tied the hem of the shirt so that it went to my hips rather than past them.  I knocked on his bedroom and he came out and blushed when he saw me.

"What's the look for?"  I said, chuckling slightly and Peter grabbed my hand.

"You look beautiful."  Now, I was the one blushing as we left his apartment.

As we walked through the door to the deli-grocery, the bell ringing called Mr. Delmar to come to the front of the store, a big smile on his face.

"Señor Parker, Señorita Kennedy!  You finally come back after all these years." 

"We would've, but we were of the fallen from-from..." Even though it had been weeks since the battle at the facility, it was still hard to even say Thanos's name out loud. I swallowed hard and Peter squeezed my hand tighter as my eyes darted around the room.

Mr. Delmar just nodded, biting his cheek. "Yeah, my own hija disappeared too. From what I hear, the Iron Man saved the whole universe all because of a snap." Tears pricked my eyes and I bit my cheek as I nodded. "We owe everything to him."

"We-We really do."

"Anyway, look at me rambling, what can I get ya?" He asked and Peter glanced at the menu.

"Uh-two number fives with pickles and--" Peter started, as if his order was muscle memory for him.

"--and smushed down real flat?" Delmar finished causing Peter to chuckle.

"Y-Yeah, thank you." When Delmar went to the back, I looked up at Peter and saw him genuinely happy, causing me to smile. He looked down at me, smiling, and turned his body towards me too. He cupped my face in his hands and ran his thumbs along my cheekbones.

"What are you thinking about?" I whispered.

"How amazing you are."

I laughed and tried to look down in embarrassment, but Peter held my head up. "We're Avengers, Pete. I think you need to think before you call me amazing."

"Kathleen Maria, when you couldn't sleep one night, you went and invented time travel, just for the fun of it. That's amazing. You held an Infinity Stone and came out with out a scratch. Most people die. That's amazing. You held your own against a titan who was wielding four Infinity Stones and drew blood from him. That's amazing. And--"

"Okay, okay." By then, I was a flustered mess and hid my face in Peter's chest.

"I want to hear you say it, Kathy."
