Today starts like the rest we've seen. The team and I do our daily routines and try not get killed in the prosses of saving the world from complete destruction.
Since the tests run by Bruce a few week back, I've not been feeling myself lately. I feel as though I don't use my powers at all. Then I feel as though they are conjuring up a plan to bug out one day killing me. But we don't have to harp on any of that nonsense.
So, my life hasn't been eventful lately. Thor, Bruce, Clint, and Steve are gone and the team is just kind of calm now. It's an odd feeling. The missions have been limited, the people have not been as vibrant, and the compound just seems some what ... dull.
~~~
My day starts with my father banging pots and pans around the corridors where the team members rooms are.
"Damnit Tony, can you stop bring obnoxious for two seconds?!" Natasha yells at him as he walks to put the pans away.
"Whatever Nat, I needed to get Y/n up."
"SO GIVE HER A CALL! DONT WAKE THE WHOLE COMPOUND!" She retorts.
I simply laugh at the banter and walk out of my room. Pietro was out on his morning jog and wouldn't be back for a while. My feet felt a cold rush as they hit the flooring in the kitchen where I find my dad putting the pans back.
"Hey dad, I heard you need me?" I ask him as he is ducked under a low cabinet attempting to put the pot back where it came from.
"Yeah," backing up he bumps the back of his head on the top of the cabinet. "Ouch, that hurt. Anyway, today I want you, Nat, and Wanda to have a girls day. Go out to the mall, get a message, get your nails done. Whatever you want to do, you do it. Have a great time I'll be here with the boys and I will see you after. Take the whole day to get pampered."
"Aww thanks dad!" Then it clicks. "What is happening here that you don't want me here for?"
"What? Nothing is happening today besides you and the girls going out." I roll my eyes and walk towards the hallway to my room. "Be ready in about half an hour, okay?"
"Yep. Bye dad."
"Bye honey have fun today and don't forget to relax." I flash a thumbs up as I walk to my room to take a shower.
Tony's POV
"Pietro, Y/n will be gone in about an hour until about seven. Phase one is ready to commence."
"Okay, lets do this."
~~~
Y/n's POV
Once I'm done blow-drying my hair, Nat and Wanda met up in my room before our departure.
"So where are we going first?" Nat asks as she is brushing through her fiery red hair short hair.
"I guess we'll make our way to the mall, shop, and have a good time. Do you want to get our nails done before or after?"
"After!" The three said in unison.
We make our way out of my room and towards the main door, passing members of the team as we leave. "Bye dad! We'll be back soon!"
"Bye have a good day!" Then we were off.

Pietro's POV
I get back to the compound about twenty minuets after the girls left for their spa day. I go to my room to get all of the supplies for my meeting with Tony today.
I walk into his office and see a big layout of what I described to him. The board that was sitting on the easel in front of me was about the size of a medium window. As I sit down in one of his chairs, he comes walking through the door shutting it behind him.
"Thank you Piet for meeting me here." Tony sits down behind his desk and folded his hands.
" I ... think you are forgetting I asked you to be here."
"That is not the point, anyway, let's start this project. Number one, house styles. What are we thinking rustic or... classical?"
Before now I had never thought of this seriously. I was going to ask Y/n to move in with me. In a real house. Away from crisis and chaos. We could start a life together. Even a f-
"Piet! Pietro! Hey buddy come back to the real world it's not so bad!" Tony snaps me back to reality.
"Sorry, yes, house styles. Umm what if we do modern rustic?" The house doesn't have to be too big. But, a big back yard would be nice."
Tony stares off for a second then refocuses back to me.
" How do you feel about a lake near your house? Hear me out. You would have a back yard and slightly off that back yard we would have a dock connecting to a lake. I'm just thinking out loud here. Also, across the lake about a ten minute drive there is another house but looks like a modern log cabin. So, either one. The house would be sucluded beside your other neighbor. It's also only about fourty five minutes from the compound. I think it's a keeper."
He ends with a genuine smile. Tony turns over his tablet to show me the house and he was right. It is a total keeper. I can see a life in this house.
"It's perfect. Thank you Tony. For everything. My sister and I are so grateful that you are welcoming us into your home. We had our differences in the beginning, but I am so happy about what we have become." Tony walks over to me slowly making me question my last statement to him. Once her reaches me he puts his hand on my shoulder. I look him in the eyes and he looks at mine. I feel as though he is staring into my soul.
" I'm happy that you're happy." Then he flashes his signature smile and walks out of his office. "I am leaving in a few minuets if you're not in the car you're not going."

Y/n's POV
"Guys let's go to the dress shop after we eat. I'm super hungry." Nat says as we are walking through the second floor of the mall.
"I defiantly second that. I'm going to eat the shoes we just bought." Wanda said throwing her head back and running her hands along her face.
"Okay Wanda, that's dramatic. Well just get some food because it is.... 4:45 and we should be home by seven ish. So what does everyone want?"
~~~
"Ughhh that was so good. But now I look like I am six months pregnant."
"Nat is there anything you want to tell us?" I say with a joking tone.
"Considering I'm not in a relationship.... Nope." We all laugh as we make our way to the shoe store. We decided to walk off some of the food they just ate. I'm however am still carrying around my smoothie .
As we make it to the shoe store we all head over to the heel section and start scavenging. We look until we find the perfect pair.
"Hey guys, I can't decide between these Mary Jane's or just a pair of pumps." I hold both pairs up so they can see which is the better option.
"Honestly I can't choose." Nat looked defeated.
"Just get both. Simple." Wanda looked completely unfazed while saying that and just kept shopping.
"Okay." We all walk over to the counter to pay and then we're off.
~~~
"Okay ladies, here's the plan. We divide and concur and meet at the dressing rooms. I will go first, then Wanda, then Y/n. We will pick out the best dress and then get our nails done accordingly. Is that clear agents?"
"Wow, I didn't know we were on a mission to infiltrate the shop."
"Okay, let's move."
As I am walking around I find a short baby blue dress with a halter neck and beaded torso.The best part of the dress, it has pockets. It was stunning. I pick it up and kept looking just for a variety.
I pick up two new dresses and head back to the dressing room area. I see Wanda with two dresses. One black and one burgundy. Then I see Nat with three dresses. All black. I didn't expect anything less if I'm honest.
When Natasha came out from the dressing room we started talking about real life things while having fun trying on our dresses.
"So, Y/n. What's happening? Anything....new? Nat asks with her dress next to her. She is getting a black A- line dress with a beaded top and plunged neckline.
"No... why do you ask?" I ask genially puzzled.
"Well I don't know, just asking. How is Pietro? He doing alright?" She asks with a unreadable expression plastered on.
"Oh yeah Pietro's good. We're really good. Also, you live in the same building with him and I saw you talking yesterday. So, what is really happening?" I kid you not this the first time I have seen Natasha get nervous about anything. Let alone me just asking a few questions.
"Nothing is happening Y/n I just wanted to know if your relationship was going good." By the grace of God, Wanda walked out of the dressing room with her burgundy dress in hand for her to buy.
"Okay Y/n, you're up next!" Wanda exclaimed as I got up to go try on the dress.
I get on my first pick the light blue dress and I knew this is the dress. It fit perfectly and I just fell in love with it.
I walk out of the room to see Wanda and Nat staring at me in awe. I can see that they love this dress just as muck as I do.
"Guys, I love it. I really do." I say to them as I turn around to look in the mirror to admire the dress once again. As I am looking at the dress in the mirror I just so happened to look back at my two best friends to see them both in tears.
"Are you two crying?! Stop 'cause I'm gonna start too then. " I just down from the platform I am standing in bring the girls into a loving group hug .
"That dress is just so good on you and you look so good. You will defiantly kill my brother with that dress." Wanda says with a small chuckle at the end. Which gets the three of laughing and crying happy tears.
"You do look the y/h/c Cinderella." Nat says to me. (AN: Sorry if your blonde) I simply laugh.
"So I guess I'm getting this dress?!"
"YES!"
~~~~
Well that one heck of a day. Today me and the girls accomplished a lot. We got the full papering my dad was talking about. I think he will be very happy that we fulfilled his wishes. I came out of today with a new bracelet, the short Cinderella dress, two pairs of shoes, my nails done, and a slight hair cut. Today was very successful. We even made it home on time.
"Boys we're home!" Nat when we made it to the living room.
"Where could they be? It's not like they would go anywhere." Wanda says as she attempts to text Pietro.
I walk over to the kitchen and start walking around looking for some type of clue. As soon as make my way into the middle of the kitchen I hear Wanda on the phone with Rhodey. Just as Wanda asks where they are, I find a note.
Y/n
If you are reading this, go to our room and get changed. Not that you don't dress like a queen each and everyday. I hope you had a good day with the girls. I'll see you soon. Just remember, follow the clues. - Pietro
He just melts my heart.
"Hey, anything about the boys yet?"
"Nope. Just that their out. Which is no help." Wanda angrily starts to text someone most likely.
"Okay guys I'm gonna go upstairs and change. See you guys before bed probably."
"What!? Where are you going?!"
"I just have to go get ready for my night. Nothing big."
"Are you about to put on that dress in your hands?" Nat says looking to my arms that holds the dress I had just bought.
"And what if I am?" I take small steps towards my room keeping eye contact with her .
"Ahh whatever, go be in a relationship." I go off to my room but before I walk in I see another note.
Before you go in I just wanted to say, I wouldn't want life any other way.
At 7:30 meet me where the house meets the sky. I love you and for right now goodbye.
I quickly grab the note and went in to get changed because 7:30 is in a matter of minutes. I go into my room to get changed and ready to leave for the roof I'm guessing.
Before I leave my room, I take one more look in the mirror before I go. I look down at my vanity to see pictures of the two of us sitting there. I smile at the pictures before realising what time it is.
I leave my room and go.to the roof. As soon as I get up there, there is a table for two ready for dinner. Fairy lights are displayed around, light music is playing in the background. And then, I see him.
His hair styled perfectly. He is wearing a white shirt with a light blue tie. Coincidentally matching with the dress. To finish off his look he had a big bright smile.
I start walking toward him while trying to fall or look stupid before my inevitable fall. We meet near the table and my eyes well with tears.
"You did all of this for me?"
"Why wouldn't I? I would give you the world if I could." I couldn't help the blush that crept up from my neck to my cheeks. I tried to hide the smile that is spreading across my lips.
Just as I look back up from my lap to my wonderful boyfriend, I see Rhodey walk up with two plates of food. Not just any food. My favorite dish ever.
"Thanks Rhodey." I flash him a genuine smile before he nods his head.
"Anytime. Enjoy" He walks back inside and Pietro and I dig into our dinner.
~~~
Just after dinner, my hand rested on the table near my glass of water. I was just looking around the yard admiring the beauty of nature behind the glow of the moon and stars when I feel a hand reach mine and hold it gently. I look up to see a smiley Pietro with a look I have never seen before. It was a mix between anxiety and panic.
(A look I know all too well from looking at myself in mirror )
"Y/n. Just know that I love you very very much." Oh no. Now I know where the panic is coming from. Wait?! Is this why Nat asked about our relationship!?!
"Wh-What are you saying?" His eyes softened as I am on the verge of tears.
"No, you're not supposed to be sad. This is supposed be happy. A happy time a new chapter of our life." He walks over to me and gives me a hug resting my head in the crook of his neck.
"If it's good you cannot lead in with a break up line." We both chuckle a little bit as I start to calm down. He sit back on his knees and reached into his pocket. He grabbed a piece of paper his pocket and handed it to me.
"What's this?"
"Just open it" I start to unfold the paper when I see a picture of a beautiful house. It is everything I want in a house. Big backyard, a few rooms, and there is a big lake. It is breathtaking.
"Is this-?"
"Yeah its ours. We're gonna move in!"
"Oh my gosh we're moving here!" I reach out my arms immediately and bring him in for a kiss and hug. My arms wrapped around his neck with my head buried in his neck.
Then, I hear loud clapping and cheering from behind us. I turn around to see everyone with smiles on their faces.
"Did you guys know?!"
"Yeah why do you think we took you out today?" Wanda gives me a 'duh' look then just laughs when I give her a scowl.
"I knew something was going on! I am just way too nice to ruin a perfect plan. Everyone chuckles and start talking to the people around.
I see my dad off to the side a little with tears in his eyes. Although the tears were there, I knew he was happy for me. My mind just took over and just reminded me of everything he has done for me and how appreciative I am of him. I immediately run up to and give him the biggest hug.
"Thank you" I can tell he is defiantly confused by my statement. He moved back to look at me. His gaze was puzzled.
"Why are you thanking me?"
"Just for everything in life." I end with the famous Stark smile and he pulls me back in for another hug.
~~
After everyone left us, quietly a song starts playing over the systems and we slow dance.
Pietro then moved his head to look at me with a smile plastered on his lips.
"So are you happy about this house?"
"You bet. Most happy that I am living in it with you."
"I want to move in soon." I look up at him with pure love in my eyes.
"Perfect for me"
