Stop Trying To Beat People, For God's Sake. ( Steve Rogers X Reader ) PT 2/2
“You know me, princesa. I can never slow down.”
Pietro said running backwards, facing you. Right before he turned back around he gave you a wink and slight laugh.
You and Pietro had become very close since the Science Bros brought him back from the big track in the sky. Steve always seemed to be jealous of how you and Pietro acted, you two were constantly joke flirting with each other.
Pietro had invited you to work out with him, which you thought was going to be lifting weights and stuff. But, apparently he had a different idea. The both of you were running sprints on the big track Tony had built for the speedster on the roof.
After another hour of 400m sprints, you guys took a break. Walking over to the bleachers, Pietro ran up behind you and picked you up, throwing you over his shoulder.
“Pietro Maximoff! Put me down! And how do you have so much energy after we sprinted for a hour and a half?”
“Darling, this is what I do for a living. And I will not put you down.”
He ran around a little bit longer before he finally placed you down on the bleachers by your duffle bags. You both joked around a took a breather for a few minutes. Then, you guys hear a voice coming for the other side of the track.
“Hey, Maximoff. Wanna race?”
Called a visibly jealous Captain from the other side of the roof with a pissed off look on his face.
The two grown children lined up on the track and decided that they were going to race a 800m sprint, and that Pietro couldn’t use his super speed to win.
You yelled from the bleachers, and the men were off in their stupid race.
Steve kept up with Pietro for the first 200m, but then he was done for after that. Steve slowed down and Pietro ran faster. It was definitely a sad sight to see. After some more sad minutes, Pietro passed Steve and accompanied the sadness with yelling “On your left!” to rub it in just a little more.
Once Steve got to the finishing line, Pietro was standing there dancing. You met them both down on the track and had to break up a fight between them. You guessed that if you hadn’t gotten there when you had, either Steve would have knocked Pietro out or Pietro would have used his super speed to throw Steve off the building or something.
“Guys...Guys... GUYS. CALM DOWN.”
You physically had to jump in between them to keep them off of each other.
“Stop arguing. It was a stupid race. Don’t let it ruin a friendship. Please.”
It was time to break out the puppy eyes when they wouldn’t stop giving each other a look full of hatred and death. You looked up to Steve first and your eyes began tearing up, then you shifted your gaze to the runner.
You forgot that you had a hand on each one of their chests, but you could feel them both relax and calm down.
Eventually, Steve just grabbed his duffle and stormed off of the rooftop.
You walked into the stale, chrome lab to find a very frustrated looking scientist sitting at the desk with his hands tangled in his dark brown hair.
“Banner, hey, are you okay sweetheart?”
The man turned around to reveal him with a red, puffy face and water eyes which made it look like he had been crying.
“Oh, hey, Y/N. I'm okay… I promise…”
You slightly ran/walked over the the man and grabbed his hands, picking him from the chair and bringing him into a tight hug.
“Puppy, you don't seem like everything is alright. How about you tell me what is going on so we don't have a surprise appearance from our favorite big green guy. Tony wouldn't really want to replace his lab, muffin.”
He just fell into your warm body with his head in the crook of your neck and his arms wrapped around your waist. He spent the next 10 minutes holding you and telling you about his past week. In the middle of him telling you about his new stressful experiment and you trying to calm him down from it, you both heard the sliding glass doors open. You both had no reaction to it though, you just stayed as one being.
“Excuse me, no PDA in the lab, please.”
You both let go of the warm hug at the same time, but Bruce still kept his arm wrapped around your waist to keep him from going green.
“Hey, Rogers. Seeing that you are never actually in this lab and don't actually belong here, I don't think you can exactly tell us what we can and cannot do.”
“Well, Banner, I would rather not see you snuggling up on the girl I love.”
There was an unbelievably awkward few moments of silence before you broke away from Bruce and walked towards Steve. You walked passed him just grabbing his hand and pulling him along with you out the doors and to your own room, just down the hall from the lab. As soon as you walked into the dimly lit room, you sat Steve down in the desk chair as you walked over and made yourself a spot on your bed.
“You just hit me with a really big thing that I cannot comprehend, Rogers. Please, just explain yourself.”
“I… I have liked you for such a long time, since the very beginning. Ever since the day the day we first met, I could just tell that you were lovely and amazing and kind and hilarious and sweet. I adore everything about you. The way you can make everyone feel better, no matter what you have been going through yourself. Or the way you are always singing, and sometimes you don't even know it. You are amazing Y/N, and I would do anything for you.”
You both suddenly became quiet as Steve turned around and just sat at your desk, staring at all of the pictures laying in their frames on the white surface.
“Y/N, who drew you this picture??”
His voice changed from caring to suddenly demanding as he showed you the pencil draw picture of you under an oak tree.
“Darling, it was you. You made that for me two years ago for my birthday. Look at the signature in the bottom left hand corner.”
You began to make your way over to the super soldier as you giggled uncontrollably and he turned a bright shade of pink. He put the frame back down on the desk and stood p to meet his body with yours.
