Wanda on top of him isn’t heavy, and that alone feels like a weapon already. Knocks the wind out of his lungs when she leans closer, and she doesn’t even look angry. It’d be easier if she looked angry, Pietro thinks.

Instead, her lashes are lowered, her lips pressed together. Instead, there’s a flush to her ears and a squirm to her body and a sort of tremor to her chin that lights panic low in his belly.

She’s pinning him into the couch, and it’s deep into the night, but that doesn’t mean nobody could catch them. He’s trapped.

.

His hands hover uselessly in the air. It’s easier when she’s throwing things at him, he thinks, or when she’s looking at him with sharp fury in those eyes of hers. Deep blue, like his own.

Her throat bobs. “Wanda—” he cuts in before she can speak, faster, faster, always faster, always running away from her, but then he doesn’t know where to go. He does always get lost. His own throat tightens, too, like there are her hands around it, but she’s not touching him at all.

Nudges at her chin like she’s going to cry. “I can’t sleep.”

.

It makes sense, he supposes, somewhere far away, like all of this is a dream (which would also make sense; so many of his nightmares are about her). She’s forgotten all that happened—Father made her, but it is just as much Pietro’s fault, all of it—but he can’t believe things like that could just be gone.

Father also wouldn’t approve of any of this, Pietro thinks.

“I can’t sleep, Pietro,” she repeats, her voice catching. Scratchy and deep, like it’s stabbing him. She needs to stop smoking, he thinks, but he can’t say that. “I don’t know why.”

.

He could run away, still, is the thing. She has him pinned but she is not heavy—she’s devastatingly light, even now that she’s back by his side, and part of him is almost relieved, selfishly so, that he’s not the only one plagued by nightmares—and he’s much faster. He could just lift her off him and run away.

It’s not like she isn’t used to it.

It’s so unfair, all of it. Their father’s weapons is all they are, in the end.

Pietro reaches out and Wanda collapses against him simultaneously. He doesn’t know what else to do.

It’s instinct, the way Pietro takes the helmet offered to him. Magneto is sitting, but still he feels looked down upon; itches in his feet with the impulse to bolt. But he’s not a coward.

“What is this?” he spits.

“Put it on.”

Despite himself, Pietro does. After all, the helmet is…

Magneto looks like he’s smiling for just a flicker, and Pietro flinches. Doesn’t when Magneto reaches out and squeezes his chin too tightly.

“Like a mirror…” Magneto muses. Then he shoves at his grip. “Put it back and leave.”

And Pietro is not a coward, but he does.

Ooo I loved them. They were both such good uses of the fear prompt <3

The first gives the feeling of Pietro's slight fear of his own feelings for Wanda and just growing into them and accepting them. He's nervous and unsure, and I love that.

*claps*The possessiveness of Magneto!
