Plastic Marriage (Pietro Maximoff)

Forgiveness

First off, I'd like to thank the awesome pietroimagines on Tumblr for their ideas for this chapter. The presents and scene from The Proposal was completely their idea, and I couldn't pass them up because it worked too perfectly for Pietro and Ellie to get close again lol. And the daddy part is from the many conversations we have had about what kind of dad Pietro would be lol. Also, the gummy bears are a reference to their awesome Pietro story The Personal Trainer. Which if you have not read I highly recommend it.

The next few days Pietro stayed at the tower, Wanda having told him that it would be best to let me cool down. My mother was more than understanding of course, she told me that all relationships have their ups and downs, hills that once past, only makes the bond stronger. Though she was also quick to point out that Pietro should not have done what he did, but then whispering to me that he was a male and sometimes they weren't the brightest. I thought the time alone would allow me to start getting used to being on my own again, but it seemed like Pietro would not make an exit from my personal life that easily.

The first day it was a blue rose at my doorstep, at first I was shocked that someone was able to find a real blue rose, but when I picked it up I couldn't help but laugh...It seemed he had remembered one of our conversations.

"But flowers are so pretty, how can a woman not love them?" Pietro asked as we walked down the street, passing by a flower shop.

"I do like flowers, just not real ones" I replied with a laugh.

"I do not understand you at all" he laughed as well.

"A guy gives his girlfriend a dozen roses, eleven real, one fake, and tells her that he'll love her til the last rose dies" I smiled before adding.

"Fake flowers last, their beauty is eternal. Real flowers die, their beauty only lasts a week at the most, before you have to watch it slowly wither...It's honestly quite sad"

The second day I couldn't help but laugh when I opened the door to find a heart shaped box filled with Reese's miniature...And one lone gummy bear.

"You actually shared" I smiled.

"But these are mine" He said, holding the bag out of my reach.

"I just want one, please?" I asked, looking up at the bag of gummy bears. Pietro looked at the bag, then at me, then back to the bag.

"He's not good with sharing" Wanda stated from the couch.

"My sister is correct" Pietro stated.

"Please, just one"

"You don't share your chocolate" He stated

"You don't like chocolate" I replied

"...This is also correct" he spoke.

"Fine" I sighed, walking out of the room.

I was slowly finding it harder and harder to stay made at the Sokovian, and by the third day I figured I'd let him off the hook when I saw something that made my heart melt. In front of the door, was a little Toothless plushie, and a sign with four lone words.

"Please forgive my daddy"

Shaking my head, smile on my face, I picked up the plushie and placed him on the bed, looking over the sign.

"You win you goof" I sighed.

After spending most of the day with my parents sightseeing, I made my way to the tower. Only a few people were in the main room when I arrived, Tony, Bruce, and Clint.
