"Ah, thanks for coming to let me know. I'm just going to change and come down. Could you wait for me?"

Peter asked, still a little sleepy, as he scratched his eyes.

"Sure, I'll wait."

Wanda replied with a gentle smile on her face, realizing that Peter wasn't quite awake yet.

After Wanda answered, Peter walked back into the bedroom and headed for the closet. After opening it, Wanda realized that something was wrong with Peter. After all, he had suddenly stopped and stood there motionless and silent. As she approached, she noticed that he had fallen asleep again, his body resting against the frame of the closet.

Wanda let out a soft sigh when she saw Peter asleep again. She didn't want to wake him up again, but she didn't want to leave him there alone either. Carefully, she approached him and placed a hand gently on his shoulder, trying to wake him up without abruptness.

"Peter."

Wanda called, with her hand on Peter's shoulder, calmly and softly.

Peter blinked a few times, trying to get his bearings in his drowsy state. He looked at Wanda and then at the closet, realizing where he was. With a sleepy smile, he straightened up and scratched his head.

"Sorry, I guess I'm still a bit dizzy."

Peter replied, still a little sleepy, but with a trace of embarrassment on his face.

After that, Peter ended up doing something a bit irrational on his part. Because he was so sleepy, he forgot for a moment that Wanda, as well as being in the room with him, was still by his side. After literally forgetting about the redhead for a moment, he ended up changing his clothes in front of her, who, after seeing what he was doing, stopped in shame.

Wanda, surprised and flushed by the unexpected situation, stopped momentarily, not knowing how to react to the sudden intimacy. She felt ashamed that she had seen more than she should have, but she also understood that there was no malice in Peter's attitude, just a little carelessness on his part. Faced with this discomfort and not knowing what to do in the situation, she decided to do what she thought was the most obvious thing to do at the moment. She turned and, with hurried steps, left the room.

Meanwhile, outside the room, Wanda was trying to regain her composure, taking deep breaths as she paced back and forth, trying to shake off the embarrassment she was feeling at the moment.

After a few minutes, Peter had finally finished changing and found it strange that the redhead who had been waiting for him a few minutes earlier was absent.

"Wanda? Are you there?"

Peter called out from inside the room.

Wanda, who was outside trying to calm down, heard Peter's voice and decided it was time to go back. She took another deep breath and went back into the bedroom.

"I'm sorry I left so quickly. I... I had to get something from the other room."

Wanda explained, making up that little lie, but still avoiding eye contact with the young man.

Peter, noticing the hesitation in her expression and gestures, realized that something was wrong, but decided not to press her.

When they were about to leave the room, by a coincidence of fate, Peter ended up looking at the sweatshirt Wanda was wearing.

"I liked the sweatshirt, and I got the reference."

Said Peter, referring to the joke that was printed on the sweatshirt Wanda was wearing and then giving a sincere smile, which ended up making the young woman blush again.

After Peter said those words, Wanda was a little confused about what he was referring to, until she quickly realized that it was about the print on her sweatshirt.

"About this, I've only just realized... But I'm glad you like it."

After realizing what she had said, Wanda turns red again, only this time Peter does too.

After realizing what she had said, Wanda turns red again, only this time Peter does too. After the awkward atmosphere had been restored between them, Peter, in an attempt to dispel the uncomfortable atmosphere, decided to say something to ease the situation for both him and Wanda.

"Well, can we go?"

Peter asked, a little embarrassed, trying to smooth over the awkward atmosphere.

Wanda, still blushing, nodded quickly.

"Yes, let's go."

She tried to disguise her nervousness as she followed Peter out of the room.

As they walked through the corridors, a silent tension hung between them. Peter seemed to want to break the ice, but he was also uncomfortable with the whole situation. So, he decided to let it go and continued in silence.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, they finally reached the elevator. Inside, as well as the silence between them, the atmosphere became even more tense, as they couldn't even look at each other properly. After a few minutes, the elevator stops and then opens. The two of them then walked out of the elevator in silence, in vain, towards the kitchen.

When they got to the kitchen, everyone started looking at them curiously. And Sam, seeing the scene, takes the opportunity to spend a little time with Peter.

"Look, there's our favorite little couple!"

Said Sam, kind of mocking Peter and Wanda, who, after hearing that, turned even redder and more embarrassed.

Steve, realizing the tension Sam had created between them in the kitchen, decided to reprimand his team member.

"Sam!"

Said Steve, with a serious countenance, reprimanding him.

Sam, noticing that he had gone too far in his joke, decided to apologize to them.

"Sorry, I think I went too far."

Sam said, a little sheepishly, looking at Peter and Wanda, who were still embarrassed.

After Sam's comment, it was Rhode who laughed, after Pietro not only looked away, but was also rather annoyed by the whole thing. After all, he might not have liked it, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he already knew that his sister liked Peter, and that was making him angry.
