Bad habit you have

Tony: Peeling the dry skin off your lips

When your lips feel dry or chapped and the dry skin off the top starts to peel off, you have a tendency to sit there and pick it all off. This annoys Tony so much. You will end up doing it so often that you draw blood and Tony will have to help you put ice on it to stop it from bleeding while scolding you.

Bruce: Humming

When songs get stuck in your head, it is really hard to stop yourself from humming them quietly. But, it is never as quietly as you think and then the song gets stuck in everyone else's heads, too. Since Bruce is around you so often, this happens to him a lot. That's part of why it bothers him so much. He will have to put on a different song wherever you are, so that you stop thinking about the song stuck in your head, and therefore stop humming.

Clint: Chewing your fingernails

Chewing your fingernails became sort of a nervous habit for you, so you do it quite often. It bothers Clint a ton when you do this, especially when you get far down enough to draw blood. Then he will tell you how it is so bad for your hands to bite your nails and how much he hates when you do it while he bandages up your fingers.

Thor: Starting a story then saying never mind

This all started when you were in high school and you were stuck in a crappy group of friends. You would start a story and then realize that no one was listening, so you would just say never mind and stop talking. Now, whenever you feel like no one is listening to you, you will say never mind. But, Thor actually loves to listen to your stories. That's why it  bugs him so much when you say never mind and never intend on finishing the story. He will always insist that he is listening and make sure to look extra into the story when you resume speaking.

Loki: Saying sorry when nothing is wrong

You always had a problem with saying sorry, even when nothing happened. You would apologize when Loki was mad at Thor, even though you had nothing to do with the problem or you would say sorry when he held the door for you and you felt like you were walking too slowly. Loki is avidly trying to break the habit, saying "No need to apologize, love," before you even had the chance to do so. 

Steve: Messing with your hair

You have never really been satisfied with the way your hair looks. You feel like it never falls the right way and that it is always really limp and looks really bad. You always flip it from side to side whenever you do anything, in an effort to get it to look presentable. Steve gets annoyed because you are constantly flipping your hair around and he also doesn't like how you worry about it so much. It has gotten to the point previously where he will grab your hands and hold them in his while he tells you that your hair looks fine, and that you need to stop messing with it.

Bucky: Playing with your piercings

It didn't matter if you had a nose ring or 7 different earrings or even just the normal 2. You always played with your piercings. It was sort of a way to help you in awkward situations. For example, Bucky was in an argument with Sam while you were in the room. You didn't want to leave because that would be even more awkward, so instead, you just sat and twirled your earring nervously. Now, Bucky will catch you doing it randomly and will tell you to stop until you do.

Pietro: Popping your knuckles

This was something you did, not only because it felt good or because you were nervous or whatever. It was a whole combination of factors, really. The sound was cool, especially when it was super loud and you could hear it from across the room, for one. You didn't even mean to do it all the time. You would just catch yourself doing it. Mostly, Pietro was the one to catch you doing it, though. He would place his hands over yours and hold them away from each other so you couldn't pop your knuckles anymore.
