• “pietro, do you ever stop flirting?”-you

• “just, yes, just get closer. there we go” -pietro, wrapping his arm around you
• “you’re better at this than i thought you’d be” -you
• “oh, you’re just saying that”-pietro

• “don’t get your hopes up” -you, leaving
• “wait, wait! could i get a kiss on the cheek for effort at least?”-pietro

Pairing:Pietro x Male!Reader

Summary: May I request a Pietro x male reader where the reader is a magic user and avenger and is friends with Wanda however is less than friendly with her brother because he can’t tell if the lovey dovey emotions flying off of Pietro are real or wishful thinking so he tries his best to just ignore him so his crush goes away ( a useless but valiant attempt) but Pietro decides to confront the reader

A/N:I’m quite happy to admit that I think this is the cutest shit I’ve ever written. Enjoy, all!

‘Culpability’

“Did I do something to you?” Pietro said as he slammed the bedroom door behind him. You looked up from over your laptop screen.
“I beg your pardon?”

Your powers were typically pretty sensitive; you could feel the irritation coming off of Natasha when ice cubes were put in her bourbon. However, you didn’t even need powers to see that Pietro was fuming.
“Did I do something to offend you in some way?” He repeated.
“I… don’t think so, why?”

“Oh, let me think,” Pietro said, scoffing loudly. As he listed reasons, he touched each of his fingers. “If I walk into a room, you walk out of it; you only speak to me when spoken to; we don’t hang out socially; you’d sooner spend time with my sister than with me!”

“I-I’m sorry, Piet,” you stammered, shutting your computer and standing up. “I don’t know what to say.”
“You could start with an explanation!”
“For what? Behaviour that only you have noticed?”
“If you like, yes.”

Rolling your eyes, you planted your hands on your hips and began to pace.
“Look, I’m sorry if you think I’ve been acting strange, but I- I promise it’s not intentional. You’ve not done anything to offend me, and I’d appreciate you admitting that I’ve not done anything either.”

For a minute, Pietro considered your angle. He considered your apology – and it’s apparent authenticity – and he considered leaving you be to begin anew. However, something didn’t sit quite right with him. Your powers began to manifest themselves, picking up on his suspicion. Sometimes you really wished they’d pack it in. After all, they were the reason you were in this mess!

“Sorry, but… No, I’m not letting this go. I noticed it last week, and I’ve continued to notice it since,” he explained, flopping onto your bed with exasperation that seemed to radiate off of him. “I thought about sulking but decided to confront you instead. Dude, just tell me what’s going on.”

You chewed the inside of your cheek for a moment, glancing to the side, to the bedroom door, wondering if you could escape before the man with super-speed would catch you. Just the thought of a chase against Pietro Maximoff made your pulse race. How had it come to this?

“I don’t want to talk about it,” you grumbled. Pietro’s powers kicked in on account of his rage; before you knew what had happened, he was right in front of you, jabbing a finger in your face.
“There you go again!” He cried. “Brushing me off, acting like I’ve got no feelings to get hurt by this.”

“I- I know you have feelings, dumbass,” you replied curtly, pinching the bridge of your nose. “That’s the problem!” When you tried to turn away, Pietro grabbed your forearm and turned you back to face him. No more excuses, he’d decided. No more pushing him away. Whatever problem you had with him was being handled, right here, right now.
“You’ve already admitted that there’s something going on now. You might as well just tell me. What do my feelings have to do with this?”

“They’re really damn loud!”

Pietro wasn’t quite sure how to respond to that. Loud? What was that supposed to mean? Surely everybody’s feelings were the same volume, unless they were especially emotional. At least, that was how Wanda had explained it to him. When she heard people’s thoughts, it was louder only when they were passionate.

Or when they were about her.

“Oh,” he murmured. You could see the penny dropping as a wave of copper over his face; a flash of gold in his eyes.
“Yeah. Oh,” you chuckled.

“You mean…”
“I wasn’t sure if it was just wishful thinking, or if I was reading something wrong. At one point, I had Banner look at me because I thought my powers were malfunctioning.”

Pietro was slowly lowering himself onto the bed. Of course. Why hadn’t he thought of this possibility sooner? There was a reason your behaviour had bothered him so much – he’d had a stupid crush on you since the minute you’d met. It wasn’t extraordinary to assume he’d given off some form of readable emotion regarding it.

“I couldn’t believe that anybody would feel that way inclined about me,” you continued to explain, seating yourself next to him. “So, I didn’t. I thought by ignoring you that maybe I’d stop seeing it, or that I’d stop feeling it myself. Unfortunately, it made both of us worse.”
“You… felt the same?”
“Still do, if I’m being perfectly honest. I tried not to, I really did, but you really wormed you way in here,” you smiled, tapping the centre of your chest.

The smile on Pietro’s face at this point was giddy; he felt like a schoolchild being asked to get ice-cream. He cleared his throat once or twice and looked momentarily at the hands in his lap.
“So, uh, what does it look like then? When your powers get to work.” You grinned bashfully. “Depends what they’re feeling. When Steve hears old music, he gets this cloud of blue about him. Wanda turns silver when she sees you. All shiny and glittery.”

“And what did I look like when you… when you figured it out?”
“You were yellow,” you chuckled, biting your lip. “All in your eyes, and your hair, and the tips of your fingers. Warm, daffodil yellow. I’d only seen it once before, when my grandpa looked at my gran.”

“And now?” He asked, looking up at you with wide eyes. “What do your powers say I’m feeling now?”
“Now, I’m… trying my best not to use them.”
“Why’s that?”
“Because it feels like cheating. I want to be able to figure it out on my own.”

Pietro laughed lightly, before rushing to cover his mouth. He hadn’t meant to find that so endearing. When he removed his hand, you saw him to be smiling. He’d bitten his lip into a beautiful velvet pink. However, the colour that dusted his cheeks was all him. Not your powers, or any emotion. Him.

“Allow me to give you little hint, then,” he smiled, bringing the pink velvet closer.
