"It's still not done…" Pietro huffed impatiently. He watched with a dull stare as his marshmallow slowly roasted in the campfire.
"You can't rush perfection, babe." Daisy grinned over at him, leaning into his space and pressing her lips to his. "You're just going to have to wait."
"I hate waiting…" he growled, capturing her lips and causing his fourth marshmallow to dip into the flames, leaving a charred melted mess on the stick.
His girlfriend was far from charred, but melting and mess definitely described her at various times immediately following.
June 30 - "I don't like being told what to do unless I'm naked." QuickQuake for @fictional-before-real
Written by @ladywinterlight
Takes place towards the end of AoU. Coulson sent Skye to Sokovia with the Helicarrier to get her out of the way while the SHIELD Council worked through some issues.
Skye dashed off the helicarrier’s lifeboats with a dozen other agents, herding civilians to safety. Her powers were much better under control since Lai Shi, but she was laying low for the moment. Just another agent. Coulson had asked her to, though she knew he would trust her judgment if it really came down to circumstances.
They’d sent one wave of ships back to the carrier already, making room for the second wave when Skye saw Hawkeye scoop up a child in a protective hold as a quinjet bore down on them. “No!!” she screamed, flinging out her hands as the jet began to fire. A blue-ish blur appeared in the line of fire, resolving into a silver-haired but otherwise young-looking man just as the first shockwave of Skye’s power unleashed.
The bullets were all knocked off trajectory, flying sideways into a building. One grazed the silver man’s shoulder, but nothing near as serious as it could have been. He blinked at her, shock written all over his face as he realized what she’d done. Ignoring him and Hawkeye, who was getting to his feet, Skye shoved another wave of power at the jet, hoping to mess up its targeting before it could fire again. Even Hawkeye seemed taken aback by what she’d done for a moment.
A second later, an enraged roaring was heard as Hulk landed on the jet. It spun away, trying to shake off its giant attacker.
“Now’s your chance, run!” Skye yelled across the street, shaking the men out of their surprise.
Without further hesitation, Hawkeye clutched the kid tighter to his chest and started to run for the lifeboat. Then the younger man grabbed them and a blur resulted in all three arriving at the top of the ramp.
“Look out!” Skye heard the yell, and turned just in time to dodge a strike from one of Ultron’s bots. It managed to get a hold of her arm and started to twist, but she raised her other hand and blasted it with her power. The cat was already out of the bag, so she might as well use all her abilities. She sighed over her wrenched shoulder, but knew it would be minor compared to the other injuries people had sustained in this fight.
“Your turn, come!” The young man appeared beside her, and she rather enjoyed the way his accented words flowed. The world went hazy for a moment, and then she was also on the lifeboat and struggling to regain her equilibrium after the vertigo-inducing speed he moved at.
Unable to just let it go at that, though, Skye quipped, “You know, I don’t like being told what to do unless I’m naked.” She then triggered her comm. “Boat 19’s full, we should go.”
The ramp hissed as it folded up into the lifeboat and the announcement came to secure everyone for return to the helicarrier. The young man was still staring at her, a smirk crossing his features. Skye rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest, the kevlar-lined jumpsuit creaking a little with her movement. “What?”
“I am picturing you naked, and I think I would enjoy issuing orders in such circumstance,” he replied with a leer and a grin.
Skye laughed. “I suppose I deserved that. I’m Skye.” She held out her hand, and blinked a moment when he caught it and kissed her knuckles rather than shaking it.
“Pietro,” he introduced himself without letting go of her hand.
“Nice to meet you, Pietro.” She would have said more, but her comm beeped in her ear. She held up her free hand, and saw him nod before she responded. “Agent Skye here. Yes, ma’am. Understood.”
“Is there a problem?” Pietro asked, tone sympathetic but curious.
“My team needs me back. As soon as the carrier can spare a jet, I have to go,” she said with a shrug.
A hand landed on Skye’s shoulder, and another on Pietro’s as Hawkeye joined them. “I want to thank you both. That kid and I are alive because of you two. You’re both pretty impressive. Though, I think,” he added with a small grin to Pietro, “that I think the lady’s method better, kid.”
“We made bad choices,” Pietro said in a low voice. “I could not let you suffer the consequences of them.”
Skye just shrugged. “We came to save people. Those orders never excluded the Avengers.”
Clint chuckled and nodded. A moment later, they felt the ship land on the carrier. “Come on, Pietro. Your sister should be here any minute.”
Skye slipped away while the two men spoke. She helped a group of kids off the lifeboat and into the care of the medics before she sought the flight deck for the jet to take her back to base. She checked her phone to see what was up; according to the data link Coulson needed her to help smooth over a SHIELD visit to Lai Shi.
She sighed and boarded the jet as soon as the order came through. A split second before the ramp raised, a rush of air and a hint of color resolved into Pietro standing next to her. “What the hell?” she demanded, hands on her hips.
“I have decided I should go with you,” he responded with an unrepentant grin. “I owe you my life; it is only right that I at least attempt to repay the favor.”
She swore in Mandarin for a moment, glaring at him. “Fine. But only because I don’t have time to argue with you. But my boss isn’t gonna like this.”
“I do not care,” he replied gently, moving into her personal space and brushing her bangs out of her eyes for her. “I want to help. And I would like to get to know you better, too. Perhaps someday I will have a chance to issue those orders that you will enjoy.”
Skye couldn’t help the slow smile that spread across her face in reply.
She slid her hand into his, anchoring it against her side so he wouldn’t run off again.
He chuckled, leaning down to nuzzle her neck. “If It did not know any better, I would say you are trying to hold me down…”
“Hold you down. Keep you still. Hold hands with my boyfriend…” Daisy listed off the reasons she was currently clutching his hand for dear life. “Making my boyfriend enjoy this bonfire with me because it’s awesome and romantic.”
“You are the only awesome thing I see…” he countered.
Pairing: Daisy Johnson/Pietro Maximoff
For: @agentdaisymaximoff
Prompt: Vampire AU
Daisy’s breath was cool on his skin as she pressed her lips against his throat. She made a soft humming sound in the back of her throat and he felt the press of her fangs against his flesh.
Easing up slightly, she pushed herself off him. “Are you sure, Pietro?”
He nodded. “I’m sure.” It was the fifth time he’d assured her in almost as many minutes.
She moved like a flash, sinking her fangs into his skin and leaving him breathless.
A/n: I kind of had this image in my head of Pietro tripping over himself to bring her things...so that’s what I went with! Enjoy!
Pietro zipped over to where Daisy was standing, leaning against the wall in a picture of absolute nonchalance. “Do you need anything, Daisy?”
“I could use some coffee,” she answered, not looking up from her new phone.
“Coffee...what kind?”
She shrugged. “Surprise me.”
He was gone in a blur of blue and silver. And she realized belatedly that she was going to end up with every drink on the menu now. Her boyfriend’s surprises were legendary.
