If He would Just Notice! (Colossus x Reader)

Tiredness was reaching (Y/n)'s body, the day had been too long for her taste. Sitting on the sofa in the living room, she and Colossus were exhausted. She sighed and decided it would be better to go to bed, a long night's sleep would do her good. He got up from the sofa and stretched. She lowered herself to be the same height as Colossus's face, making him look at her.

"I'm going to sleep, if you need something - or someone - I'll be upstairs." she smiled, bringing her face closer to the man's.

She gave him a quick kiss, just a touch of lips, which left the giant wanting more. Colossus closed his eyes and waited for the kiss that had been promised that day, but (Y/n) moved away faster than expected. He tried to follow her movements, but she left very quickly. When his eyes opened, she was gone. He sighed and sat down again. He would speak to her the next morning.

She went up to her room, a silly, wide smile on her face. She changed clothes and laid on her bed, waiting for sleep to come, which didn't seem to come. Hours and hours passed, but not a second had she closed her eyes. Laying on the bed she rested her body, her muscles were still sore, but nothing like before. She looked for something to do on her cell phone, but boredom soon overwhelmed her.

For the second time she sighed that night. She got up from the bed, her hair a little tangled from rolling on her sheets. She thought about putting on some decent clothes, but remembered it was late at night and there was hardly anyone in the living room or kitchen. She left her room with only her sleep clothes on, a shirt big enough to almost reach her knees. She passed down the corridor slowly, fearing that someone would wake up to the noise she might make. When she got close to the kitchen, she quickened her pace, but when she noticed the light on, she stopped at the corner of the corridor. She stretched her head forward a little and tried to see who was there.

Cable was another one who couldn't sleep that night, he could only think of the fact that going back to his future now was something far away. But he had a second chance now, a new chance to get what he had in the future.

It took him a while to find the kitchen, but he did it at some point. He opened the fridge and looked for something to drink, opted for water anyway. He took a glass from the cupboard, but something in his peripheral vision caught his eye. He looked to the side, and was sure to see a (h/c) colored hair passing by.

"I know you're there, come out." he said, pouring the water into the glass.

(Y/n) came out from behind the wall, embarrassed for having done something so childish. She crossed her arms, trying to look smaller than she already was. Getting close to the bench she climbed on it and sat down, her legs dangling slightly.

"I thought I was the only one awake." she said, her cheeks a little red.

"I can say the same." He said, handing her the glass and taking another for himself.

"I... I want some answers." she said, dropping the glass on the counter.

"What kind of answers?" he asked, resting his waist on the bench behind him and facing the her.

"Well... About you." she said, taking a lock of her hair and curling it between her fingers.

He smiled charmingly and nodded, saying she could go on.

"Where do we know each other?" she asked.

"I have known you for a long time." he said, smiling as he looked away "And you don't know me, yet."

"But why? Are you like my son in the future? Wait, that doesn't make sense. Are you my lost father?" she asked, crossing her arms.

"I love this about you." he approached, stopping in front of the woman's knees.

"Come on, man. J-just be direct." she said, getting embarrassed by the proximity.

"You'll be my wife." he said, moving away a little.

"Wow, wow, wow. I don't even know you. You didn't even ask for my hand! How am I supposed to-"

"In the future." the woman became quiet, not understanding "I know you because you will marry me in the future, we have a house, a big one, like you wanted, and we have a daughter, a beautiful girl she is." he said, smiling at the distance again.

"But I-" she was going to say about Colossus, but again she was interrupted.

"I know about Piotr, you told me before we had Hope." he continued, he hesitated to tell the next part of the story, but she seemed to notice his reluctance and asked.

"What is it?"

"I know about him, because you told me he died." he said, now his face is serious.

"He died!?" she spoke louder, covering her mouth when she realized that she shouted "H-he died?" she asked again, her voice breaking with the urge to cry.

"I didn't want you to know that yet. When you told me about him, you didn't seem comfortable enough to talk about, and that was ten years into our marriage." he continued, getting close to her again.

"But how?" she asked, thick tears falling from her eyes.

"You never told me." Cable said, running the back of his hand over her cheek, drying her tears.

"I have to stop it." she said, holding the man's wrist, startling him.

"I don't think you can." he interrupted her "My device can't be fixed, it uses technology from the future."

"So I won't be able to do anything?" (Y/n)'s face showed despair.

"Maybe, but I don't know how he died or when, so it might be impossible." he continued, holding her face with his palm "You don't have to worry, I'll be here from the beginning."

"But I love him." she said, placing her hand on top of his, the one he had on her face.

"I'll make you forget him." he touched his forehead to the hers.

"It doesn't seem like I've forgotten him. Even after years of knowing you." she said "I don't think you can do anything about it."

"Just one chance." he said, getting closer to her and placing his other hand on her waist.

"I cannot-"

"I'll wait. I'll wait for as long as you'd like."

The tears were still visible in her eyes, but the silly almost crying face completed her face, leaving her as delicate as ever. He looked at her with the most passionate look she has ever seen, even with the robotic parts he remained extremely handsome.

He wanted, very much just to lean over and steal the woman's lips in a flustered kiss, but decided that it might scare her. He wanted to tell the truth, but his mind wouldn't let him. He knew that if he told her she would not end up with him, he knew that if he said there was a way to save Colossus, all would be lost. He knew how Colossus would die, he knew when he would die and he knew that (Y/n) would be watching first class.
