"Tony and Bruce could not have saved it," Pietro counters. He's certain of that now.
Just as certain of that as he is certain he doesn't know how to react to a beautiful, and deadly, woman giving him even the hint of a kiss like that. All his charm tends to be toward buttering people up, to giving gifts. Something like this is new.
"You thin-"
Except he's even less prepared for a real kiss. Not to his shoulder in a faint brush that from another person might be an accident. No, this is her pulling him in. At least this he knows what he is doing when presented with. Which includes quickly scooping the laptop aside and wrapping an arm around her waist to help keep her close. Why, after all, would he turn this away? Better to press into it, and see where things go.
