As you swing your foot back to kick at the sleeping boy at your feet for the sixth time, he rolls over and swats at your ankle. “I’m awake, Y/n. Why did you kick me five times? Was there reason?” he groans.
“Well, if you’d woken up properly the first time I kicked you, I wouldn’t have had to do it four more times. Get over it and get up. We have got a long day ahead of us. Stevie told me you need to work on dodging fast moving objects and hand to hand combat before lunch. Go get something to eat and meet me in the gym in thirty.” you say, ruffling the boy’s hair.
“Who’s Stevie?” he asks, confused.
“Steve Rogers? Captain America. He’s one of my best friends so I’m allowed to call him Stevie. Now let’s go, Pietro. There’s lots of stuff to do and not nearly enough fucking time. Mornin’ Thor!” You call back to the boy before greeting the Asgardian walking down the hall.
“Good morning Miss. Y/L/N!” Thor returns the greeting loudly, smiling at you. “Good morning to you as well young Pietro.” Thor nods at the speedster who still sits on the floor in a haze of exhaustion.
“Hello? Anyone home?” you rap harshly on the boy’s head with your knuckles, getting his attention. “That’s better. Now, get moving, kid.” you say.
“Y/n?” he asks as you walk out the door.
“Yeah?”
“Can we make the half hour forty five minutes instead? I want to go for a run.”
You smile at him and nod. “Sure thing kid. I’ll see you in forty five in the gym.”
“Thank you!” he calls after you as you walk down the hall.
