bc the avengers doing familial things makes my heart swoon
Pairings: avengers x reader, peter parker x reader
A/N: this was so much fun to write! if you guys want more headcanons, just drop them off in the ask box 🙂
- being the one of the newest recruits to the avengers (that falls under the “young” side) has its perks
- like getting to decide what dinner will be on the friday’s when steve’s too tired to cook, or deciding what movie to watch on late saturday nights when natasha’s nightmares get bad, or wanda and you booking the entire kitchen for an evening of baking
- you never really abused that power (to an extent)
- your appreciation for them far outweighed anything else so you refused to act ungrateful or spoiled with the privilege you had
- weirdly enough, the avengers had strange quirks
- they would always confuse you and peter for doing the wrong things for some reason ??
- this upsets peter gREATLY
- “BuT mR. sTaRk, y/n aTe tHe LaST cooKIE It wASn’t mE”
- “pete i saw you eyeing that jar for the past 37 minutes, dont you start with me”
- “yes mr. stark” *cue intense glaring at you
weekly debriefings in the living room
- steve is 1000000x adamant about it, saying “its integral for bonding time so the team is more tuned to each other’s actions which will be handy on battlefield”
- b u l l s h i t, steve is a softie and he knows it
- tony puts on an act, saying hes got new suits to improve but steve hears none of it and drags tony’s ass to the living room (tony LOVES IT, the little shit)
- it’s actually really really healthy for all of you and bucky is a sucker for it
- he always goes first and talks about everything that happened during the week from the puppies he pet to the cute single waitress at Dave’s Coffee Shop.
- sam gives bucky pointers on how to flirt, but bucky refuses to take his advice and it ends up in an insult war
- “you have to actually talk to her, ya dip shit”
- “maybe you haven’t noticed, but i have been, bird brains”
- “staring at her with your mouth open isn’t talking, bucky! it’s called being a creep and seconds away from a restraining order”
- “you talkin from experience?”
- steve blows the fire out, like always
- natasha humoring everyone with the conversations she eavesdrops on when shes on missions
- you would talk about the new friends you met around the corner.
(one of them in particular fancied you and peter would be jealous but he’d brush it off cuz what else is he supposed to do??)- peter talking about the upcoming dance and how peer pressure is so prevalent at school
- you feeling a deep burn in the pit of your stomach whenever he talks about the dance or other girls and you dont know why bc its not like you like peter????
- bruce knows you do tho. your body language screams it and hes surprisingly the only one who knows
grocery shopping
- you are the only one apart of the team that can go to the grocery store and buy things that the team actually needs which is why you usually do the shopping
- peter likes to tag a long bc the store is by Delmar’s, and he likes to stop by to give Delmar a hard time
(he also likes going on walks with you bc you’ll accidentally brush against him and mutter sorry and he’ll grin and say “s’okay” but he sees your intense blush and that gives him more reasons to find anyway to be as close to you as possible)- steve will come along bc he left the coffee grounds in the disposal this time and tony banished him from the compound saying that he cant come back till he gets more coffee
- natasha has to pick up the latest copy of cosmopolitan cuz shes addicted
- clint tags along bc he too is obsessed
- “tash, you will never believe what the kardashians did this time! its on the newest edition”
“no way!!! Y/N we’re coming with you” (i adore natasha/clint banter)- you told the both of them that you could pick both up but steve claims tony always gets wack coffee brands and you wouldnt recognize it and natasha actually never buys the magazine. she reads the entire thing at the store so she doesnt buy it unnecessarily
- thor begs you to let him come bc he loves looking at the mens hair products
- “lady y/n, if you must know, asgardian hair is a force to be reckoned with-”
- “thor, i think you used that phrase incorrectly”
- “no? Midgardian pop culture is very perplexing”
- “thats not pop- you know what, never mind, i recommend the Moroccan Pomade but knock yourself out”
- steve, peter, and thor getting confused when you and natasha get pads.
- “but i do not understand lady natasha, why must you ferocious females endure such pain every month? is it a curse?”
- “yeah a curse from Satan when he realized he put too much sexy in the mixing pot when making us which is why we can take down any motherf-”
- “NATASHA LANGUAGE WE ARE IN PUBLIC”
- always fighting with each other over what is necessary and what isn’t but you always get the last word
- you always allow thor to get the rainbow colored gummies, peter to get a small pack of kibble for Delmar’s cat, natasha to get sun screen bc she always forgets, and clint to get a new pair of socks for his crazy collection. responsible shopping at its finest am i right
nightmares
- there wasn’t a single avenger that didn’t get nighmares
- nearly every night there was screaming from one room
- you made it a point to comfort them as much as you could. your powers really came into clutch here.
- tony was the hardest to coax
- on the days pepper wasn’t at the compound, his nightmares seemed to get worse
- you knew entering his room was border line invasion of privacy but he was squirming and sweating and….crying?
- thanks to your powers, you were more attuned to people’s emotions, so you could feel the fear within him and god was it strong. it was a trembling kind of fear, the type where you were swallowed into an abyss and there was no way out
- you would calm yourself down trying to isolate yourself from his feelings and slowly walked towards his bed and place your hand on his feverish forehead.
- instantly he relaxed and the quivering stopped. you weren’t able to give him positive dreams but you were able to numb his thoughts.
- you did this with everyone, almost daily
- bucky was the most difficult and you would spend hours trying to get him to just stop thinking
- his mind seemed like it was always haywire but at the end of the night it was worth it bc you could see the small smile on his lips when the nightmare went away.
- you were always afraid of helping peter.
- it wasn’t like you were scared of him. the two of you had forged an inseparable friendship. but his nightmares seemed more intimate and you weren’t sure if he wanted your help
- but this time, oh god, this time was the worst
- so you stepped into his room
- he was shirtless and the moonlight cast a sad glow around his body. he was whimpering, his body shaking.
- you moved slowly towards him, doing your regular procedure of isolating your emotions until he shot up awake
- you froze
- this wasn’t apart of the procedure
- abort abort abort abort abortabortwabfhgre
- but his eyes are bloodshot and the dream he had was too real and you stood there in front of him like an angel ready to swoop in and save him
- but you just stood there, your mouth agape
- he would whisper your name and there was a catch in his throat
- you would become flustered, saying “i’m sorry, i was just checking on you-”
- “please dont go”
- you would stand there for a little longer, staring at him, almost testing him to see if it was him or the sleep talking. but he didnt move so you sat at the edge of his bed. he would get under the covers and you would brush your fingers through his hair. he would feverishly grasp onto your hand and his eyes are begging. it was almost like a silent agreement and you slipped under the covers next to him gently. he would hug you, nuzzling his face in your neck and slowly his body would shake and you would realize he’s crying. every sob would rack against your body and you would hold him tightly, trying so hard not to cry as well because his emotions broke the barrier and now all you could do was feel him. so the two of you would lay there desperately clinging on to each other and you trying to make him feel better because god this boy deserves the world. and eventually it would work and he would drift off to sleep. you would stay awake till morning making sure he was alright, drawing shapes at the nape of his neck, occasionally pressing ghost kisses against his shoulder to reassure yourself (and him) that everything is alright. you would slip out of his room before he could wake and the two of you never talked about that night again.
- you avoided him as much as you could without being obvious
- he caught on real quick and so did bruce
- but it didnt matter, bc you hid yourself either with wanda or nat or the new group of friends you made
missions
- missions were the most difficult part of being on the team
- particularly for tony and steve
- they hated having you or peter go on them but when the time called they knew they couldn’t prevent you from coming
- you always teamed up with thor (oddly enough)
- his powers aligned with yours perfectly in a strange way
- (also steve felt at ease when you were with thor bc he always gave check ups on you)
- but when you were paired with peter, tony and steve would go crazy
- and i mean cRaZy
- “y/n, there’s an agent on your right. do your invisible shit”
- “peter what the fuck did i say about language”
- “tony i swear to god”
- “cap, i thought you said you don’t swear”
- the one mission you get kidnapped is the scariest of all
- because this was a life or death situation
- peter and tony found you in a warehouse and it was the most heartbreaking sight ever
- your skin was torn by all the ropes they tied and you were bleeding in multiple places
- all peter could see was red and he would have lost it if it werent for tony telling him to calm down
- they’d successfully rescued you but not before a bullet went straight through your arm
- you lost consciousness and tony almost cried bc all he could see was the same young battered girl he took in years ago and how he swore she would never get hurt like that again
- yet here you were on brink of death and all he could do was pray
- you survived thanks to bruce and tony refused to look at you
- he stayed in his lab all day, torturing himself with negative thoughts till you barged into his lab and just hugged him until he stopped
- “i thought i lost you, kid”
- “you could never lose me. who’s gonna swap out your papers with pictures of corgis”
- “i literally- wait, so it was you”
- “oh shit”
- you slowly amending your relationship with peter bc not talking to him was hurting the both of you
homecoming
- you didn’t go to the same high school as peter (surprisingly enough)
- but you knew the gossip there as he knew the gossip at your school
- you knew his homecoming was just around the corner
- so did bruce
- which is why he decided to call you to the lab bc home boi gotta help his fav smol avenger out
- “you like peter, yeah?”
- “i-what-your-i’m sorry-no!!”
- bruce raising his eyebrows like 99.9% of the conversation as responses and it flusters you
- “you look like mr. bean when you do that,stoOoOoOop!!!”
- “once you talk to pete, i will. come on, i don’t mean to meddle with your business but the looks have been going on for months and if neither of you do something about it, i’ll have to endure more of it and god knows i can only handle enough”
- “i have no idea what your talking-”
- peter barges through the door, hair in all diff directions, cheeks pink and hes panting
- “y/nineedtotalktoyouitssuperimportant”
- bruce letting out a whoop before clearing his throat and gently ushering you out of the lab not before sending you a wink
- you glaring at him before following peter out of the corridor
- “whats up? you look like a mess”
- peter wiping his face as an attempt to calm himself down bc hes been thinking about this for the past two weeks and hes had enough
- “i have to go to homecoming with you”
- “what…peter you dont have to do anything”
- “no i mean, that came out wrong. i just- i cant spend another day without you being with me. i like you a lot and it’s just-”
- he’s tugging at his hair so much you have to grab his arm
- “y/n your really sweet and cute and pretty and it would be such an honor for you to go to homecoming with me”
- your heart is beating so loud you were sure bruce could hear it
- “yes”
- “yes? as in yes yes ill go with you or yes i guess or yes ill go cuz he asked me to or-”
- “peter shut up”
- he lets out a breathy sigh and you reach up and place a small kiss against his cheek and he involuntarily closes his eyes and it takes a great deal of you to not just place your hands against his jaw and taste his soft lips
- “i’m thinking lavender”
- “huh?”
- “the color of my suit and your dress. it reminds me of what you smelled like when you-”
- it takes you a moment to realize he’s referring to the night where you comforted him
- the both of you blush
- suddenly bruce walks down the hallway and he sees your tinted cheeks and grins widely
- “FINALLY!!! I don’t have to deal with the tension anymore!!!”
- he acts annoyed but ends up taking your hoco pics
- and hoco was a blast and the two of you were the happiest as can be
- the avengers were surprisingly supportive as well
- except for tony and steve
- they put on the protective parents front but inside they’re proud and loving and hope for the best for you two
