12. things you said when we were watching TV
“This is how all Americans act?”
You jumped at the sound of Pietro’s accented voice, you hadn’t heard him enter the room much less feel the couch dip under his weight when he took a seat next to you. A blush spread across the apples of your cheeks when you turned your head to look at Pietro whose confused face was focused on the show you were watching, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
“It’s just a show, Petey.”
Your heart skipped a beat when his crystal like blue eyes locked with yours, “Is a reality show, no?”
“No…I mean, yes it is but…” You were at a loss for words, his eyes and face distracting you. Taking a deep breath, you shifted around so your top half was facing him and he copied your actions giving you his undivided attention, “Okay…it is considered a ‘reality show’ but it’s dramatized for the the audience and to get more viewers.”
He furrowed his brows, trying to wrap his brain around this insanity that is TV but it seemed he got it, “So is not how Americans act?”
“No…” You sighed again and you let out one harsh laugh as you looked back at the TV to see Kim yelling about how her pants made her look bad in the photoshoot, “Americans act like that.”
“You don’t…you are very kind and much prettier than those scroafe.” Pietro reached up and hooked a lock of hair behind your ear, his thumb rubbing against your cheek.
The blush spread from your cheeks down to your neck, “Thank you Pietro.” You grabbed his hand and squeezed it, “Now let’s teach you all about the real America.”
3 hours later, Pietro knew everything there needs to be about the Kardashians. You were getting ready to start the next episode, mindful of Pietro’s arms around your shoulders and his fingers playing with the ends of your hair when he spoke up, “Tony is our Kim.”
