16 || Comforting You

~Steve~

It's hard not to stress out about everything that's happening in the world right now. Steve's the first to understand that. So when that happens to you, he's quick to step in. He shuts off your phone, closes all the blinds and cuddles you up in bed. He tells you funny anecdotes, stories from when he was a kid, and talks about uplifting things until you feel better.

~Tony~

Tony's quick to notice if something's bothering you. He'll wait for you to talk about it - if you want to. If you don't, then he'll do what he can to take your mind off of it, usually by taking you somewhere nice. To a quiet park, or your favourite restaurant. Anywhere he knows you like.

~Natasha~

Natasha can make light of any situation. Whenever you're feeling down or stressed, she can manage to make even the worst situations feel manageable. She'll calm you down, talking in a soft voice, and wash your worries away in a matter of minutes while she rubs gentle circles in your back.

~Clint~

He treats you to everything you love. He'll order you favourite takeout foods, put on your favourite tv shows and give you a space where you can just relax and open up. It's a very calm and thoughtful approach, and it never fails to make you feel better in the end.

~Thor~

He'll hold your hand and sit with you as you cry. Offer reassuring words when you have no more and smile to you when you can't. And when you've cried all you can and said all you will, he'll lift your spirits. He'll throw you over his shoulder and waltz you around the house. He'll spin you around until you're laughing so hard you can't breathe, and when your cheek have dried, he'll kiss your smiling lips, because the only thing he wants is your happiness.

~Bruce~

Bruce knows all the right ways to comfort you. He gives you the biggest hug, hands you a cup of tea and waits for you until you're ready to talk about it. If you don't want to, that's alright. He'll hold your hand and offer kind words. And if you do, he'll be there with an open ear to listen to every word and wipe away your tears. 

~Sam~

Sam goes into overdrive when he goes to comfort you. He'll cook up your favourite meal and fill you up with laughter and good food until you're feeling better. He'll throw in a lot of hugs too just for good measure, and won't stop until he sees a genuine smile on your face.

~Bucky~

Bucky will let you talk for as long as you need. If you need to vent, he listens, if you want advice, he'll give it to you. And if you just want a hug, he'll do that too. And when you're done, he'll give you a kiss and spend the rest of the day focusing on you - giving you cuddles, running his hands through your hair, murmuring sweet nothings in your ear and spending the day laid up in bed.

~Loki~

When the negative thoughts get to be too much, it's hard not to shut down. When the self deprecation, and the self doubt start to take over your mind. He's quick to be at your side. He'll wipe away your tears and remind you of all the beautiful things about you. He'll whisper everything he loves about you while he holds you tightly to his chest. He's been down that road before. He won't let you go down there too.

~Pietro~

Pietro is the king of goofing off. When he sees that you're upset, he does whatever he can to get a smile on your face. Usually it's something stupid - an off handed joke - or something embarrassing that he does, but he does everything and anything to get your mind off of what's bothering you. He doesn't stop until he sees your smile light up the room.

~Wanda~

Wanda is an empath. She knows immediately when you're upset, and will bombard you with a hurricane of soft kisses all over your face and neck. She'll hold you close, murmuring sweet word in your ear and tracing little patterns into your skin. And sometimes, if you let her, she'll go inside your head. Ease the pain just enough to make it all feel better.

~T'Challa~

He takes the time to listen to you. Really listen. He'll take your hand, look you in the eyes and give you the best advice he can. And if you want, he'll take you to the quietest spot he knows and sit with you while you tell him what's wrong. There's hardly any problem you can't talk to him about, and never once has he left you to deal with it by yourself.

~Peter P~

Peter isn't the best with words. He doesn't always know what to say to make you feel better, so he always tries with actions. He'll cuddle you up as tight as he can. He'll round up all the pillows and blankets in the house, wrap you up in them and hug you til you feel better.

~Peter Q~

Peter's his most playful self when he's trying to comfort you. He'll make jokes, play his music and cuddle you up to his chest when you're feeling down. And he won't let you go until he knows you're better. When you're laughing and shoving him away from you because he's suffocating you with his hugs and his jokes are getting too crude.

~Stephen~

Stephen takes you somewhere that will calm you down. Anywhere in the world - a cliffside beach, a city rooftop, a meadowy spot in the woods maybe. He'll transport the two of you there and sit with you in silence and solidarity until you're ready to go back. He never pressures you to talk, but he'll be there if you need to.
