《The Bet | Pietro x Reader》Chapter Twelve
Advertisement
Six weeks later I was packing my bag. This was going to be the best trip of my life. I was surprised my parents agreed to it.
A few weeks ago, Scott had said something about wanting to go on a trip as a group. We all decided then that we wanted to go to the beach. Everyone practically begged their parents to let them go, and eventually they all agreed.
I checked my bag one last time, making sure I had packed everything. I didn't want to forget something important. I dragged my bag downstairs.
There was a loud honk, signalling that Clint was here to pick me up. I said goodbye to my parents and rushed outside.
Clint drove a van. This was good for us because it meant that we could take less cars with us. I jumped in to see that Clint, Natasha, Vis, and Scott had been picked up already.
I sat down in an empty seat.
"Now we just have to pick up Hope, Wanda and Lover Boy," Clint sang.
I rolled my eyes at my boyfriend's new nickname. Clint floored the gas and sped out of my driveway. We picked up Hope and she sat next to Scott. Our second to last destination was Pietro and Wanda's house. When Pietro entered the van, he smiled widely and literally jumped into the seat next to me, almost crushing me in the process. Wanda gracefully sat down next to Vis.
"Is everyone ready to go?" Clint asked.
We all said yes, and he sped off to out rendezvous point. We met everyone else there.
"We got everyone?" Clint asked the other designated drivers.
T'Challa, Tony, and Thor - the other designated drivers - nodded. Before we all got piled back into the cars, I met T'Challa's younger sister, Shuri, and her friend, Peter.

We got back into the cars and began our journey to the beach. The whole trip, Clint and Scott complained about how cute Pietro and I were being.
All we were doing was sleeping and showing each other memes. There was an occasional kiss, but nothing that warranted the complaints.
We got texts from the others who were in different cars. At one point, there was a video call happening between all four cars.
When we arrived at the hotel, I was practically pushed out of the car by the people behind me. Everyone began to stretch their limbs. I did as well and heard a few pops and cracks. Pietro came up behind me and kissed my cheek.
"This is gonna be the best," he said happily.
I agreed and kissed him again.
"Ew, ew, they're back at it again," Scott gagged.
He narrowly missed my kick to his shins.
I looked up at the hotel we were staying in. It was in between average and fancy. Tony, T'Challa, and Thor all said that they didn't mind paying for it all. Our friend group obviously protested, even though we were all kind of broke, and we came to the agreement that the rich kids could pay for the hotel while the rest of us paid for the food.
We all walked into the hotel and got checked in.
"Okay, four people to a room. We all know that our parents only agreed because we were going to separate boys and girls," T'Challa said.
Scott grumbled something about Carol and Val still being allowed to sleep in the same room.
"Chill out dude," Val said. "We won't be in the same bed. Besides, you have Steve and Bucky."
Steve went red like a tomato while Bucky just smirked. We all laughed and got our room keys. I was with Natasha, Wanda, and Pepper. I felt bad for Peter not being able to be with his friend, Shuri. Then he began talking science with Tony and Bruce and I realised he was going to be fine.

"Alright, how about we have twenty minutes to settle in and get changed, and then we'll go to the beach," Tony suggested.
Everyone agreed and rushed to their rooms. I got changed into a f/c bikini that had a little knot in the middle of my chest. I put on a pair of denim shorts as well. I grabbed a beach towel, a book and sunscreen. I shoved it all into a cute little beach bag I brought, as well as some snacks.
I exited my room with the other girls and arrived in the lobby just on time. Pietro looked me up and down and smiled. I blushed. Natasha and Wanda giggled, and I elbowed them playfully.
Lucky for us, we only had to cross one road and then we were at the beach. The beach was beautiful. The water was a clear aqua and the waves lapped against the sand peacefully. The sand was soft against my feet.
We all placed our stuff down and began to set up. Bruce, Steve, and Val had brought beach umbrellas, so we put them up.
Loki said that he would stay with our things and read his book. When his brother told him to lighten up a little, Loki glared at him and said, "I'm pale enough already."
I snorted at the joke while a few others laughed. I shrieked when Pietro picked me up bridal style and spun me around. I heard the click of a camera and saw that Wanda had taken a photo. Vis picked her up as well and we got a nice photo of the four of us in the waves.
Once the photo was taken, I looked at Pietro. He had the same mischievous look in his eyes that he had on the night of the park. I knew what he was going to do, but before I could stop him, he threw me into the waves.
I spluttered when I resurfaced and glared at him playfully. He was laughing so hard he could barely stand up. I reached a hand up so that he could help me up, but when he grabbed it, I yanked his arm and made him topple into the water beside me. He emerged from the water beside me. We stood up together and laughed.
"Couple goals," Sam sighed from behind me.
We all swam around and splashed each other. When Clint splashed Natasha, a splash war broke out. Bucky was splashing me, and I splashed him back harder. I used Pietro as a human shield at one point. We only stopped because Scott nearly drowned.
We all walked back up the beach and to our towels. It had been a great day, but I wasn't prepared for how much fun the night would be.
