my feet are the fastest. please see me if you think you can keep up. i am very good at many things. if i do not know it, i will learn quick. i promise i will not bore you.
[ It's all so normal. The feeling of her weight being carried in his arms, her familiar echoing laughter, their playful banter. It was hard to tell they'd nearly caused the end of the world once, that he'd died as a result, that their paths had staggered for a year. ]
Wherever you need to go, I will be your loyal bus service. You'll never have to move again! How kind of me to pamper such a lazy lifestyle for you.
[ He does continue to carry her, remembering the floor plan of the apartment as he carries her to the bedroom. Once there, he gives little warning when he tosses her on the mattress. Not harshly, but he isn't gentle about it either. ] I think I might have cracked a hip. Did you pack on a little extra weight as you aged as well?
[ That snarky smirk remains plastered on his face as he tugs up at his shirt, removing it over his head before tossing it carelessly. ]
I'm going in for a bath. You joining? [ Because that's totally normal for siblings. ]
[ she gives a lazy, luxuriant sigh, as if becoming accustomed to this new way of living already. pietro treats her like a princess. he always has. so sometimes, if she takes on that remote and regal air, it's really all his fault.
she makes a show of startling when he drops her, but she isn't really surprised. gentleness doesn't always become them. ]
It must be all that American pizza.
[ she rolls onto her back, giving the ceiling a sad look, as if it's responsible for her sudden weight gain. ]
You should exercise more.
[ obviously, in order to be able to carry her. but she sits up and shimmies out of her dress, pulling it over her head and tossing it in the general direction of the laundry. (she cleans up once a week, it's fine.) ]
You're right. I should add in a few more kilometers to my jog. I'm obviously doing enough.
[ And despite all the running he already does, he actually does fully intend to increase his distances. Mostly because the idea is actually quite pleasing even if it's only meant as a joke.
He smirks when she tosses off her dress and he reaches down to grab her by the ankles, tugging her forward to seat her at the bed's edge.
Straightening, he holds out his hands to her. ] Do you need me to carry you again?
[ she thinks about that for a second, swinging her legs playfully. ultimately, she reaches to take his hands, letting him help her up before she slips away, fetching a hair tie to twist all her hair up into a messy bun at the top of her head. ]
Do you plan on doing more than running while you're here, this time?
[ she's teasing him as she goes into the bathroom to stopper up the tub and turn on the hot water. maybe it isn't exactly typical twin bonding fare to take a bath together, but they've always been close, and she's missed him. so this is what they're doing. ]
[ He says it with a bit of playful argument in his tone, as if finding the mockery in her accusation. He spins on his heel watching her walk away as the pout stays on his face even when she's turned, just to make sure it's there whenever she glances in his direction. ]
Running will not grant my request here. I'll be doing plenty of other things.
[ Fighting his chuckling amusement to keep his pout, he follows after her into the bathroom, kicking off his shoes and wiggling out of his pants. ]
[ he just happens to have a decent radar for her particular brand of sarcasm. not everyone picks up on it, owing perhaps to her accent or her dry nature. he's always understood her, though. her other half. it makes her feel whole again to see him - and yes, she is aware that he's still pouting back there.
she glances over her shoulder to glare at him, as though the information he's given her there was a little more than she was looking for, thanks. ]
I'm sure you'll be very popular again in no time.
[ she is, shall we say, not blind to the attention her brother received in sokovia. ]
Too bad you look like an old man now with that hair.
[ He can always pinpoint her humor even when she says it with a serious air. There's no offense taken with any of it but he makes a scene about it anyway, fully aware that she can sense his pouting lips. ]
Women find it quite sexy. They like to run their hands through it before tugging me down.
[ It's more information than anyone wants to hear, but Pietro's smug and cocky and he doesn't think twice as he slips his boxer briefs down and off of his legs.
Straightening with his hands in his hips, posed nude, he nods to her. ] Is the bath ready?
