“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Tony.” Natasha says with as much innocence as she can muster - which is a considerable amount, considering how good she is at schooling her features. She ticks the pointe shoes in the bag of the student in front of her and pats them on the shoulder as a signal that they can leave before turning her attention to Tony. “I’m just a simple ballet teacher, I don’t even have the bites for you to take a look at.” A lie, of course - but Tony doesn’t need to know she still does some SHIELD work from time to time. Not until she wants him to, at least.  [ @posionhearted ]

“Sure you don’t romanoff,” Tony spoke arms crossed about his chest tone disbelieving. Natasha could have fooled just about anyone Tony was sure of it, but he had spent years fighting by her, which lead her to be suspicious of the idea that she could have given up all of her widow tech completely. “Oh of course, and I’m just a loser who teaches computer science,” maybe he was wrong to try and call her bluff. That didn’t stop him from doing so. “Fine, fine. Suit yourself you just won’t get to see the really cool upgrade me and FRIDAY have been working on,”

shrugging, hugo pulled his legs closer into his chest. he didn’t really have a solid idea of what he wanted, but he knew he needed more information. taking a moment to articulate his thoughts, the little thing replied, “i’m not sure. it was just a thought, i haven’t even mentioned it to nate yet, but i wanted to come to him with some facts. not just a whimsical idea, you know?” he did know, however, despite how early on in their relationship it was, he did want to move in with nate. “we’ve been roommates for a while, but we’ve accumulated so much stuff and we’re dating so… a place of our own seems good.” 

though she wasn’t really worried, her shoulders did sag a little with relief, and her grin absolutely did stay plastered on her face. looking back, it made sense how protective both him and Uncle Steve had gotten, but it was in the past now. she bounces in her seat, scooping up her bag once more, completely unperturbed it was a quick moment in the lab if it meant food was involved. “oh, that’s a definite yes, if you let me in on it,” she stood, waiting for him to lead the way, “your brain may be giant compared to mine, but it doesn’t mean I can’t try to fit everything you have in it.”

“ ac/dc… metallica… queen… pink floyd and the clash off the top of my head. but , mr. stark , i can’t just pick FIVE. “

closing the door behind him, hugo nodded slowly. he would have come back later if his dad had needed him to, but considering the nature of the topic, hugo realised a long time ago this was something he needed actual help with. usually, the boy would shoulder what he could until he fell apart, but this was… different. something that he couldn’t risk falling apart. shrugging in response to his father’s question, hugo curled himself up in one of the big office chairs. “i… i was just wondering what the housing market looked like. and if you, uh, knew anyone that could show me some… potential places.”

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING

sighing softly as he wandered into his dad’s office, hugo knocked rapidly against the door. it wasn’t every day you had a conversation with your dad about being an actual, full-on adult. the last real adult conversation had been his own coming out a few years ago, but that didn’t compare to his. as the little dancer made his way through the expensive office, he raised his hand a little in greeting. “hey, dad, you aren’t busy, are you?” he asked, wincing as he signed along with his spoken words. “i wanted to talk to you about something.” [ @posionhearted ]

“ yeah , actually classic rock is my most played genre. “

“it is, that’s right, i have arrived,” she spins around once as she sets her backpack on the ground next to the stool she sits on. she’s grinning, and hoping that the grin can remain as she decides to rip the bandaid off so to speak with her news, “so, the Young Avengers are back. I figured I’d tell you before you saw us out doing things.” she’s casual, but she’s all too aware of the first time she told Tony about the Young Avengers, “thoughts? wanna get milkshakes and discuss? can we agree no big showdown this time Uncle Tony?” she teases affectionately.

“Sometimes I think I should have majored in photography instead physics based on the amount I know about it.” Ben said as he fiddled with the camera in hand. “You want a picture? I want to see how they come out after it prints it out.”

“ my music taste is perfect and celine dion is amazing. “

❛ when true love takes a grip it leaves you without a choice ❜ — @posionhearted + @mcnstcrinside !!

betty was so lucky to be alive and in love. truly, deeply, completely submerged in this all-powerful feeling for the two people who had been beside her for her entire life. she felt so fortunate to be with them. without obstacles, without fear. finally, they could be openly, and unapologetically together. ❝ i didn’t know you were considering a career in poetry now, ❞ she teased. ❝ but you’re absolutely right. ❞ falling in love with both bruce and tony demanded a complete surrender. rational thought, something the scientist was known for, was out of the equation. this was something else. ❝ when it comes to our feelings we don’t have a say in the matter. ❞ the redhead glanced at bruce, her best friend, husband, widower. an excited glint in her eye, voice steady as she wasn’t the slightest bit nervous. ❝ we do have a choice to make. or, well, you do, tony. ❞

bruce squinted in thought a moment, “have i heard that somewhere?” he teases, though a rather bashful smile spread across his face. it has taken a lot to get to this point for bruce, so openly expressing all these feelings he was now certain were present, and not only for betty. between the two of them, he wrapped an arm around each’s waist, looking between them, meeting betty’s eyes, letting his eyes rest on tony after betty finishes. he tilts his head a little, eyebrows raised in curiosity, though a firm hand also on tony’s back, reassurance where he was sure it was needed, “there are a lot of good reasons to make this official, what do you think?” [ @posionhearted ]
