“TRUE” - PART II
“Leo … Why do you like me ?” You suddenly asked.
He seemed really surprised and he stared at you, short of words.
“What ? Huh … Oh … Well you are beautiful and … You’re not jealous, you don’t always call me and, oh you don’t talk about romance, cats and family all the time …” He giggled.
You let out a deep sigh and shook your head.
“Leo … I do.”
“What ?”
He frowned as he was trying to uncork the bottle of champagne.
“I do all of this. I just tried to be someone else to attract you but … It’s not me. I’m so sorry Leo I’m not who you think I am.” You sighed. “and I hate surprises … You’re great, you deserve happiness and a loving girlfriend. I’m sorry …" You paused. “Will you forgive me ? …”
Leo was a good man, and his slight smile told you he would. Suddenly, you saw the cork of the bottle flying and the champagne literally exploded on his clothes and on your feet.
“Oh no I’m sorry !” He moaned.
You moved back and he took off his wet shirt quickly while you ran to the bathroom to wash your feet. You heard a knock at your door but before you could say anything, Leo had opened it. Your feet were still wet with water, then you grabbed a towel to dry it, but you weren’t quick enough.
Meanwhile, Pietro found himself face to face with Leo who was shirtless and wet.
“Oh. Hello. I just had to … Tell (Y/N) that … We got to meet at 7 tomorrow, not 9 … It’s … 7.”
Pietro’s face contorted with anger as he stared at the half naked man.
“No problem Piet’ I’ll tell her.” Leo replied politely.
He closed the door as you got out of the bathroom and you frowned, wondering who could knock at your door at this time.
“Who was it ?”
“Oh it was Pietro, he …” Leo started but you rushed to the door to catch up the speedster.
“Pietro !” You called him through the corridor, running as fast as you could.
For once, he was walking, and you stopped when you found yourself face to face with him.
“Huh … Here I am …” You uttered breathlessly.
The speedster gazed at you and raised his eyebrows.
“Oh yes, Leo is here as well.” he muttered with a strained smile, referring to the half naked guy in your bedroom.
You tried to catch your breath and blinked, not paying attention to his comment.
“Pietro, I need to know.“ You started, heart beating fast, “What was that ? That kiss ?”
The rhythm of your own heartbeat scared you. The speedster stared at you with his incredible blue eyes and shrugged.
“It wasn’t a kiss.”
“Should I tell him to go ?” You almost cut him off, full of hope.
Pietro chuckled slightly and shook his head.
“Oh no ! You were just kind of … Training. You’ve worked so hard to be with him. Just enjoy your night.” And again, he gave you this insensitive smile, like if nothing happened.
You remained silent for a few seconds, deeply hurt by his indifference. Boom. That was the sound of your heart falling down on the floor, dislocated by Pietro Maximoff as you were undeniably in love with him.
“So … That’s all.” You managed as your throat twisted.
“Yup. That’s all.” He repeated, looking straight into your eyes.
It was physically unsustainable. Then you realised it was just about you, you had changed. Not him. He had no feelings for you. You cleared your throat to make your voice sound less trembling and took a few steps back.
“Alright. See you tomorrow then. At 7.” You said before heading to your bedroom, eyes swimming with tears.
There you were. Charming prince ? Bullshit. Falling in love ? Bullshit. Walking in love with Pietro ? Worst bullshit ever.
You opened your door to find Leo sitting on the sofa and he frowned.
“(Y/N) you’re crying ?”
“No … I just need some sleep.” You smiled nervously and fell on your bed as Leo was putting on his shirt. After a moment, you heard him sigh.
“It’s him.” He muttered, now ready to leave.
A tear rolled on your cheek and you sniffled as he continued.
“You love him ?”
Your stomach clenched and a painful moan that came from deep within escaped the back of your throat.
“Gosh yes, I love him …” You sighed through your tears.
When you woke up at 6, you tried to think about something positive but nothing came. There was only Pietro in your mind and the anxiety was already growing in your stomach, twisting it like bubble gum. You took a deep breath and jumped up. As you were staring at your reflection in the mirror, you noticed you had bloodshot eyes and a horrible tired face.
After your shower, you went to the kitchen of the base, hoping nobody would be awake yet.
Before you pushed the door, a familiar voice came to your ears.
“This is the most stupid thing you’ve ever done !” Scolded a girl in a big sokovian accent.
A blank followed and you were about to leave when she continued.
“Pietro you’re not being honest to her !”
You didn’t make a move and just stood behind the door as you listened to the conversation.
“There’s no point in being honest about that, she’s got a boyfriend now.” He muttered.
Wanda let out a growl in dismay and she raised her hands above her head.
“For goodness sake Pietro we don’t care !” She mewed. “Love shouldn’t be that painful !”
The speedster’s eyes suddenly darkened, his breath quickened and he jumped off his chair.
“Then what ?! What am I supposed to do Wanda ?! You and Vision can read each other’s mind it’s fucking easy !“ He exclaimed.
“But the way she looks at you !…” Wanda started to reply in the same tone but he cut her off.
“She doesn’t care ! It was just a silly game and I was mistaken !” He shouted. His voice broke and he bit his bottom lip, shaking his head. “It’s just … stupid feelings.” He finally whispered.
His twin remained silent, gazing at Pietro’s sad and desperate face, but then she shook her head in exasperation and sighed.
“So, you’re going to keep it for yourself, never tell her, and then never know what she thinks about it, never know if it would be possible ?” She asked quietly.
The speedster looked down and he ran his fingers through his silver hair nervously.
“I know what she thinks about me. She will be happier with Mr Perfect.” He replied in a husky voice.
Your mouth opened with surprise and you swallowed. Now you knew what he thought about you and a possible relationship. It was stupid, like these ‘stupid feelings’ he told his sister about. Big tears flooded your cheeks as you went back to your bedroom, beside yourself and totally lost.
It had been two awful days Pietro and you were avoiding each other.
You put on your pyjama at 1am for you couldn’t sleep before. Now, ready to go to bed, you realised you had forgotten your headphones in the kitchen. Every heartbreak needed a song after all, ‘Love is Everywhere’ would be quite ironic but good, then you went back to the quiet room to find your missing headphones.
When you walked in, Pietro was sitting on the sofa, watching a silly TV show as usual when he couldn’t sleep. You tried to be discreet but as you raised your hand to grab your headphones on the shelf, something cut your palm and you let out a whimper.
“Damn !”
Pietro turned and when his eyes laid on you, his facial expression became colder. You thought he was going to ignore you once more but he stared at you with a worried gaze instead.
“You okay ?” He asked.
“Yes.” You said simply as you grabbed your headphones.
You were about to leave but in a flash, a familiar smell filled your nostrils, causing you to hold your breath and blush instantly. Pietro took your hand carefully and you noticed you were bleeding.
A slight smile crossed his lips for a second and your heavy heart skipped a beat in your chest. You looked up at him and you could see his facial expression turning serious as he gazed at your little injury.
“We should heal that.” He said softly.
You nodded and shivered to the contact of his fingers against yours.
“I can do it myself.” You replied coldly.
He stared at you, consternation clearly written in his eyes, and before you could add anything he made you sit on a chair carefully.
“Stay here.” He declared before rushing out.
You screwed up your eyes and waited. After a few seconds, he was back with the first aid kit.
You turned your head, looking at the fridge and purposely avoiding his gaze as he bandaged your hand. He took quick glances at you but you resisted. Once it was done, you stood up and avoided looking at him perfectly, ready to go back to your bedroom.
“Thanks.” You simply said.
But you couldn’t resist more and your gazes crossed automatically. His icy blue eyes electrified you at once, sending thousands of little shivers through your body.
“You okay ?” He asked in a husky voice.
His facial expression had softened, but there was still something wrong in it, a bit of sadness, of despair maybe.
You nodded, unable to look away now. Your whole body was craving his and the rhythm of your heartbeat was unbearable. You remained silent for a while, certainly hoping he would tell you all the things he had told Wanda, but he didn’t. He had surely talked about someone he loved, but it wasn’t you. This simple thought broke the last pieces of your heart and in spite of the anger growing in your chest, you tried to breathe correctly as you were still standing in front of Pietro. You didn’t say anything and headed to the door, hoping you wouldn’t cry now. When you felt your tears coming, you increased your pace to your bedroom but a gush of wind whipped your face and you stopped in the middle of the corridor to avoid running into Pietro.
“What’s wrong with y…” He started but he frowned and stopped, “You’re crying ?” he suddenly asked with a bit of panic in his voice. “Does your hand hurt ?”
You let out a sigh in dismay and pushed him away.
“Leave me alone !” You cried.
But he grabbed your arm to pull you close to him, so close. You tried to catch your breath and stared at him. He was so incomprehensible.
“What do you want ?” You asked desperately.
He blinked and his mouth opened as he understood what you were talking about.
“I-I …” He paused, which let you hope he was about to admit his feelings. “Nothing.” He finally sighed.
You took a step back and swallowed.
“Nothing.” You repeated through your tears.
He looked away and you nodded, biting your bottom lip with anger.
“That’s it. Stupid feelings.” You sighed as you turned for good.
His eyes widened and he grabbed your shirt to pull you near him. He stared at you and frowned as he obviously tried to understand what was going on. His hands cupped the sides of your face, thus you had no other choice but to look him in the eye. You gazed at the speedster, then at his lips as the heartache was increasing in your chest. Finally, he wrapped his arms around your waist hesitantly and pulled you against him softly. The warmth of his chest made you shudder and you let out a moan when his lips crashed on yours in a passionate kiss. The sensation of his mouth pressing against yours made you melt and you instinctively circled his neck with your arms, deepening the embrace. But his head moved back after a few seconds.
“No … (Y/N) … Wait … I-I can’t …” He sighed painfully.
Your heart clenched and you shook your head.
“Don’t do this to me …” You whispered, short of breath as your lips were brushing against his.
Your fingers grabbed his silver hair and you kissed him again feverishly as you craved to have his lips on yours.
“I can’t … be the other guy.” He groaned between your lips, but you tightened your grip around his neck and frowned as you broke the kiss.
“What ? You’re not the other guy Pietro.” You said as you stared at his icy gaze.
He looked straight into your eyes and you could see a slight frown developing on his forehead as he was catching his breath. You suddenly understood he was thinking about Leo and you screwed up your eyes.
“Oh gosh no ! I’m not with him !” You made a face and a laughter escaped the back of your throat, “He had just spilled some champagne on his shirt ! We didn’t even kiss …”
Pietro’s facial expression softened and his mouth opened slightly near yours.
“You didn’t ?…”
His sigh was full of hope and you shook your head as you rubbed the tip of your nose against his tenderly.
“Are you crazy ?… How could I have done anything with him after what happened ?” You whispered, gazing at him.
The relief you read on his face was indescribable and you felt his chest lifting against yours as he let out a deep sigh. A smile crossed his face and he pressed his mouth against yours once more, electrifying your whole body. His lips moved on yours with an incredible tenderness as you tangled your fingers into his silver hair, making him groan slightly.
“I love you (Y/N), I fucking love you with all my heart” He sighed as he was kissing you harder, “I can’t help it …”
The despair in his voice made your heart melt and you snuggled in his arms, circling his tongue with yours and deepening the kiss as you were totally lost in his embrace.
