[With the way she looks at him now, Pietro knows he's gotten her actual attention, her focus. She's not pushing away from him anymore, and he doesn't dare think about how that finally makes the squeezing feeling in his chest stop, one that had been present since he'd come home. It's irrational to think Wanda would ever really turn away from him in earnest, especially for minor transgressions, but Pietro is a difficult person to live with, even worse after HYDRA, and he is well aware of it. If anyone's walking away from this relationship down the line, he thinks it's going to be her. He'd been completely truthful about his wishes, every one since it had just been them alone in the world. He'd made them exactly as he'd said, because he holds as much fear as he knows Wanda does, of them being separated by tragedy or other means, and if Pietro doesn't wish for them to be together, it's his fault if it happens because he wanted something else for one moment.]

You're doing it all wrong. Do you know how much more insufferable I will be if you bruise my foot so much it hurts to walk?

[He shrugs exaggeratedly, holding his palms up.]
