When a heatwave approaches normal people go to the beach or the park, however, the avengers and guardians were trapped inside the blazing hot compound for a meeting with Fury. The heat blazed through the windows, causing groans amongst the team.

“Look, I know it is hot and sweaty in here, but we need to discuss the latest mission.” Fury said, clearly annoyed at the team.

“We should be out of here in half an hour.” However, the meeting was taken over by Tony which annoyed Steve, as well as everyone else and the meeting lasted for over two hours. After those two hours, Fury finally made his point, and the meeting was over.

Y/N sighed in relief and left the meeting room, making her way to the kitchen. She made herself an iced coffee and parked herself onto the stools on the island table. The young avenger took out her phone and scrolled through her TikTok.

Steve walked into the kitchen holding an old, dusty box and put it onto the table where Y/N was sitting. She arched an eyebrow, looking down at the object.

“Y/N, remember when we were talking about polaroid cameras, and you told me you always wanted one, but your parents said it was a waste of money?”

She nodded.

“Well, I was sorting through some of my belongings that were salvaged by Fury, and I found my polaroid camera!”

Her eyes lit up at her friend. “No way, can I have a look?”

Steve smiled, “Never mind looking, no, it’s yours now.”

“Are you serious?” Her eyes widened.

“Of course, you can have a play around with it if you like?”

She carefully opened the box and held the vintage camera, admiring every detail.

“Steve, you are the sweetest thank you so much!”

As Steve and Y/N continued their conversation about his camera, Bucky walked over to the pair. He looked at the camera Y/N was holding and smiled.

“Man, I haven’t seen a camera like that since the 40s, where did you find it?”

“Steve gave it to me!”

“I cannot believe after all those years he still had hold of it, it’s in great condition too.”

It meant a lot that Steve gave her the camera, she always had a passion for photography. And as she is a sentimental person, she uses her passion for photography to take photographs of her friends.

“I’ll put it away in my room, I don’t want it lying around the compound.”

She walked down the hallway to her bedroom, running into Pietro on the way. He gave her a quick smile before leaving in the opposite direction that caused Y/N’s cheeks to heat up.

She entered her room, about to place the camera on her shelf she noticed there was no film. She frowned, placing the camera down and grabbed her bag to head into town.

The heat only got worse which caused a fuss amongst the team. Handheld fans were scattered around the place as well as bottles of water.

“Can we please stop leaving bottles of water unintended? I don’t know which bottle belongs to who!”

A chorus of “sorry” and “my bads” filled the room, Steve groaned. Tony entered the compound and noticed the mess and snickered.

“Well, well, well looks like Cap is making one big mess.” He ignored his comment and made his way into the kitchen.

Tony spoke up again, following behind. “Instead of boiling away in this toaster oven, how about we have a barbeque? I mean we’re done with work for the day, we have nothing better to do.”

“Sounds like a plan. I will round up the gang.”

After Steve informed every one of the plans, there was a shift in the atmosphere.

Y/N returned to the compound, clearly happy with herself as she found film for her camera. She made her way to the living room and found some of her friends taking things out of the freezers and fridge.

“What’s going on?”

“Steve and Tony told us we are having a barbeque!” Kate shouted.

As Yelena and Steve love to cook they took it upon themselves to prepare the food whilst Y/N, Natasha, Kate and Peter took out plates of snacks, fruits and the drinks. Y/N had a plate of strawberries and had “secretly” snuck two.

“Stop eating the strawberries.” Natasha playfully glared at Y/N.

“I can’t help it they are delicious.”

The four placed the items onto numerous picnic blankets that Wanda and Pietro laid out. Pietro reached out for a strawberry, but Nat slapped his hand away.

Eventually everyone settled down and enjoyed a lot of delicious food, chatting, laughing and playing games. After, in Peter’s words the picnic-barbeque extravaganza, the group split off to do their own things.

Some of the guys and Gamora decided to have a game of football whilst Loki read his book, Quill was listening to his Walkman and the rest of the girls decided to play around with Y/N’s polaroid camera that Steve gifted her.

“I want to take more pictures of you guys.” Y/N said, turning her camera to Mantis, squealing in excitement. “You look so cute!”

Mantis smiled and posed for the camera, and with a flash the polaroid printed. Mantis looked at the blank photograph and frowned. “Where am I?”

“It takes a little bit to develop.” Y/N gently shook the polaroid.

The girls continued to take photographs of everyone and everything and pointed the camera at Pietro playing football. She blushed and took the photo of her friend. Pietro noticed and snuck behind her.

“You didn’t see that coming? Oh, that is a great, am I that handsome you had to take a picture?”

He teased Y/N a lot, and this was just another perfect opportunity for him to do so. This was his shameless way to show his intertest with his friend, however he believes she is not seeing it that way but just as friendly banter.

“No, I just thought I’d take it to warn girls of how unattractive you are.” Pietro scoffed playfully.

This was a lie; in fact, this was the biggest lie Y/N had ever said. He was attractive, so attractive that she cannot bring herself to make eye contact with him for so long, so attractive that it feels as though her heart is about to combust from her chest.

“Pietro, are you up for another game?!” Clint shouted.

“I’ll be right there!”

Y/N turned her attention back to her camera and smiled at the girls.

“Anyone else want to have a play?”

Wanda grinned at Y/N, knowing her true feelings for her twin brother.

The sun began to set, and the air got colder, one by one people went inside, except Y/N. She decided to take more photographs. She began to shiver as the tempter dropped more, but she was determined to stay outside as long as possible.

What she didn’t know is that Pietro was watching her from his bedroom window, his heart was pounding, his cheeks burnt red. What he didn’t realise was his sister walking into the room.

“Tell her Pietro.”

He jumped. “Wanda!”

“Tell her how you feel.” She pushed. “I know you like her.”

He sighed. “But she doesn’t like me.”

“And how do you know that?”

“Wanda, isn’t it obvious? She only sees me as a friend.” He ran a hand through his hair.

Wanda placed her hand on her brother's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. “Trust me, I know that she feels the same way.”

“How?” He said, arching his eyebrow.

The twins watched Y/N out of the window shivering as she took a couple more photos of the now dark blue sky. Pietro took a sweater from his wardrobe and headed towards his bedroom door. Wanda smirked.

He approached Y/N, this time taking care not to scare her, and offered her his sweater. “I think you could do with this.”

“Thank you, Pietro.” She put on his sweater, which smelt of his favourite cologne, which was secretly her favourite scent.

“I like watching you take your photographs, but not in a weird way!” He panicked. She laughed.

“I like that you like watching me take photographs.” She joked.

“I also like you.” He spoke.

She stopped taking photographs and looked up at Pietro, her heart stopped.

“I like you too.”
