7 || How They Wake You Up

~Steve~

He goes for a run most morning, waking up at the crack of dawn - much too early for you. If him getting dressed doesn't wake you up, his morning shower usually does the job well. If you're still asleep through that, he'll open the blinds and gently call your name to wake you up, not stopping until you at least sit up in bed, groggy eyed and yawning.

~Tony~

It's rare for Tony to ever be awake before you. On the off chance that he ever does, he'll head to his workshop and ask JARVIS to play music through all the speakers in the house. He even specially programmed the speakers In the bedroom to gradually increase in volume, so you're not blasted with sound the moment you wake up. It's a pretty effective method, the music pulling you out of sleep usually by the fourth song.

~Natasha~

She'll start by just turning on all the lights and opening the blinds. If you start grumbling at her, she'll crawl back into bed and pepper you with soft kisses until you wake up. Most people wouldn't expect her to be so touchy-feely and truth be told, she's only ever like that with you.

~Clint~

He'll push you off the bed. Veeeerryy slowly. So slowly that you don't even stir until you're face down on the ground, Clint cackling on the bed and holding a pillow in case you attack. The morning usually ends with you wrestling him to the ground and hitting him with said pillow.

~Thor~

Thor is a very large, loud man. Despite all his efforts, him just getting out of bed is usually enough to wake you. The mattress springs under him and the sheets rustle just a bit too loudly. By the time he's opened the door, you're awake, rubbing the sleep out of your eyes and yawning a 'Good Morning.'

~Bruce~

Bruce loves to cuddle you awake. He'll wrap his arms around you and bury his face in the back of your neck, pulling you close to him. The added body head and movement eventually pulls you out of sleep.

~Sam~

He'll wake you up with his cooking. Sam is no stranger to cooking big breakfasts - considering the friends he has - and it's one of the first things he does in the morning. He'll play some music while he cooks, always being sure to leave the bedroom door open just a crack so the smells waft in. It's a very effective method to get you out of bed.

~Bucky~

He'll let Cleo and Maverick loose in the room. Mav will bound onto the bed, always more than happy to pamper you with kisses and tail waggles, while Cleo will muzzle herself between your arms, paws pressing into your chin. Bucky will stand by the door, soft smile on his face as he watches your stir awake, Mav bouncing around on the bed and yipping happily.

~Loki~

He lets you sleep in as long as you want. He'll kiss your head, leave the room as silently as possible and try to stay quiet. He'll sit on the couch, reading, or maybe listening to some music. Sometimes you don't wake up until noon.

~Pietro~

Once Pietro wakes up, there's no hope for any sleep. The man is incessant when it comes to waking you up. He'll poke you, repeatedly, usually to the effect of you swatting him away and grumbling at him, half-asleep. He'll try to hold in his laughter as he pokes, prods, and tickles you awake.

~Wanda~

She'll scoot closer to you and pull you in, tracing little patterns into your skin and whispering sweet little nothings in your ear. She loves how peaceful you look when you sleep, and the way your nose scrunched up a little right before you wake up. She'll admire you for as long as you're asleep, gentle smile on her face.

~T'Challa~

T'Challa's day starts before your own. He's almost always the first one up, and his duties start from the moment he wakes up. Though he often doesn't have the time to stay and laze around, he never fails to leave you a sweet little note. He'll place a tablet on his pillow, and by now, you've gotten used to rolling over and reading the little messages he leave you. It never fails to brighten up your morning.

~Peter P~

He's just as lazy as you are when he wakes up. He'll wiggle over to you and throw his body on top of yours and fall back asleep, usually across your chest or stomach. You'll wake up because you can't breathe right, and promptly roll him off of you as soon as you do, waking him up in the process as well.

~Peter Q~

When it comes to waking you up, Peter has no regard for being subtle. He'll yank the covers off of you with enough force to pull you with it as he shouts your name at the top of his lungs, effectively startling you awake on high alert. Sometimes he'll even switch it up a little, and bang some pots and pans right in your ear, music blasting in the background.

~Stephen~

Stephen doesn't wake you up unless it's for a reason. He'll get up, get ready and go about his day like usual. His noises from outside and the shuffle of his footsteps is enough to wake you up. But he'll come check in on you every once in a while, checking to make sure that you aren't over sleeping and that you're alright.
