Avengers: Imagines

(Oh, the irony)

(Requested by: @DragonLover1234567 )

You hated Tony Stark. You vowed vengeance on Tony Stark. He promised he was only looking out for his younger sister, but this was actually quite the opposite.

A party. Yes, of all things, a party.

If there was one thing Tony was known for, (besides being Iron Man and a sarcastic, egotistical pig) it was his fondness of partying.

And with his younger sister's birthday coming up, he was eager to celebrate.

"No, Tony," you refused as you walked down the stairs.

"C'mon!" He followed you. "We haven't celebrated in years! Besides, I wasn't the most caring brother when we were younger-"

"Still aren't," you stepped in.

He sighed with a chuckle.
"And I'm trying to fix that. You know, Pepper's really excited to be meeting you for the first time. She's even organizing the party based off of what I say."

"Tony, you don't even know me."

"Do to!"

"What's my favorite color?"

"... All- of them?"
"Favorite movie?"
"Uh, the one with the guy in it!"
"My favorite song?"
"The one with the rhythm and lyrics you like."

You stopped on the last landing and turned to your brother.

"Are you serious? That's all you can- I can't believe-" You turned to walk away, but Tony caught your arm.

"Please (Y/N). I need to make up for all those years lost. And hey, Pietro will be there."

Tony knew how much you liked Pietro since you had began emailing Tony a couple months ago. You hadn't seen him in years, since you moved out. You would spend some nights at the tower, getting to know the team. Pepper was always on business trips, so you never had really met her. You liked Pietro since you first saw him. His looks caught your eye, but his accent and smart-aleck comments, as well as his smile and caring side, caught your heart.

"Maybe I'll come."

"Ye-heah!" Tony pointed two finger guns at you.

"Thank you! You won't be disappointed!"

He began running up the stairs, but stopped for a split second.

"Oh, and, between you and me, Pietro kinda sorta likes you back."

And with that, he disappeared, leaving you with a small smile.

•••••

"Oh my goodness! You're so much prettier than Tony described!" Pepper enveloped you in a hug. You laughed. "Knowing Tony, you probably pictured me as a warthog." "Oh, no. I knew you'd be pretty."

She pulled out of the hug and held you at arms' length.

"Now, I know from Tony that you are a sophisticated young woman-" "Oh wow," you cut in. "So I decided to go with a bit of a classier party. Is that alright with you?"

"Well, I tend to like my parties sophisticated, but not snore-worthy."

"Spoken like a true Stark," she smiled.

"I went with an invitation-type, formal wear, but we'll include a bit of a casual mood with a band and a dance floor."

"So basically, senior prom?"

Pepper laughed.

"I like your sense of humor. It's like Tony's, except you're not constantly being a narcissistic nine-year-old."

You both laughed at that.

"Now, let's get started on your outfit and makeup. I hear you have a certain man to impress."

"Yeah, if he'll even notice me."

•••••

To say the least, Pietro was freaking out. If he wasn't still healing from the Battle of Ultron, he would be speeding everywhere.

"Brother, what is worrying you so much?"

"I only trust you, Wanda. Can you keep a secret?"

Wanda realized this was serious.

"Yes. Absolutely."

Pietro sighed.
"I like this girl-"
"Is it (Y/N)?"

Pietro stared at Wanda.
"How did you know?"

Wanda sighed and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Dear brother, everyone knows."

"Her birthday is today, and I really want to let her know how I feel, but I don't know how."

"Pietro, I will help you as much as I can, but it will take a miracle to take care of your incompetent personality."
She laughed as he playfully shoved her, and they both smiled.

•••••

This was it. Tony had set the party with a generous amount of people to call it a "small gathering". You recognized all the Avengers, and they greeted you warmly. It was nice to have a pleasant Stark.

"Happy birthday! Oh my goodness, you look gorgeous!" Natasha gushed over you. You were wearing a deep red dress, and your makeup complimented your features.

A hand clapped on your shoulder and you turned to see your older brother.

"Why'd you jump, Sis?"

"Oh, I just thought it was someone important."

Natasha high-fived you.

"Ha ha, so funny. C'mon, I want the first dance."

Your jaw dropped when you saw your favorite band standing on the small stage at the front of the ballroom Tony had rented out for the night.

"This is for the birthday girl, (Y/N)!"

They began one of your favorite songs, and you playfully punched Tony's shoulder before you both started to dance.

You did a sort of awkward chicken-dance while Tony did a form of the sprinkler. It wasn't until Pepper joined in that you truly began to enjoy yourself.

Later, Tony paused and looked around the room. He smiled before he pulled you aside.

"I think I invited someone you'll want to see."

He pointed behind you and you turned. A gasp fell from your mouth. Your best guy friend from high school was waving at you from the refreshments table. You had always slightly crushed on him, so you were nervous when Tony pushed you over to talk to him.

He still had the soft, blond hair you remembered and the cerulean blue eyes. His jaw line was sharp as ever-

"Long time, no see," you started as you hugged him. He reciprocated immediately. "Totally."

•••••

Pietro watched uneasily as you encountered the stranger at the refreshments table.

"Brother, stop glowering and go talk to her."

Wanda was sipping her glass with her arms folded as she studied her brother's gaze.

"Pietro, I can tell you love her. Go talk to her. With the way that man is also looking at her, you are losing your chance. Go. Now."

Before she knew it, Pietro was already strutting your way.

He suddenly appeared behind you and wrapped an (unexpected) arm around your waist.

"And who are you?" He practically spat at the man.

"Oh, hi. I'm Thomas-"
"Nice name. How did you come to know the lovely (Y/N)?"

"Pietro, what are you doing?" You hissed.

"(Y/N) and I were friends in high-"
"So you've known each other for a while, yes?"

Thomas gulped.

"Well, yes-"
"And do you care for her?"
"Wait, what?"

"Pietro, stop."

"I said, 'do you care for her?'"
"Uh, I guess, yeah."

Pietro seemed to contemplate this for a bit.

"Well, I'd say you're simply interested in her because Tony Stark paid you to be. The shifty glances between the two of you and the conversation on Tony's phone that I may or may not have heard would prove so."

Thomas' jaw dropped

"How did you-"
"You did not see that coming?"

Thomas made some incomprehensible sound.

Pietro nodded at him condescendingly.
"Now, take your money and leave."

Thomas quickly talked with Tony before he shoved something green into his pocket and scurried out of the building with his head down.

Tony made eye contact with you and immediately came over.

"(Y/N), I am so sorry-"

You had tears in your eyes as you stopped him.

"No, just leave me alone. I cant believe you."

Pietro began to speak, but you turned on him.

"And you! Why did you act like that? I thought you were better than that!"

"He's just 'pb and jelly'," Tony muttered.

"I don't know what you mean by, 'pb and jelly'."

"It means that you're-"

"Enough!" You shouted.

Gazes turned to you as you lifted your skirt and ran out of the building.
Pepper, Wanda, and Nat all turned and glared at the two boys.

"We're in trouble."

•••••

A knock sounded on your door.

"(Y/N)?"
"Go away," you half-heartedly muttered.
"No. Can I please come in?"

Pietro took your silence for a yes.

He found you still in your dress, your makeup running, and eating a box of chocolates Tony had given you that morning.

"I am so very sorry. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but," he took in a deep breathe, "I was jealous." You looked at him in surprise.

"Why?"

"Because, I like you. A lot."

A blush rose to your cheeks.

"Really, even like this?" You gestured at your ruined mascara and messy hair.

He smiled as he sat down and embraced you.

"Especially like this."

"Well, it's a good thing, because I kind of like you too."

He chuckled.

"Even when I get jealous?"

"Only if you don't embarrass me."

You both began laughing before you fell asleep like that, sitting beside your bed, with the biggest smiles on your faces.
