"There you go." She said, pointing at him. "Case closed. I can try, but I'll never speak it as well as you, or learn it too quick. I'm old."

"But you could make a fucking translator earpiece to do it for you," he said, rolling his eyes as the door opened. "You don't have to grind it out."

"Maybe I want to learn it myself." She said, shoving her hands into the pockets of her jacket as she stepped into the elevator, turning to lean against the wall of the small space. "It means more."

Since the elevator was so small in such a shitty little apartment complex, their shoulders were barely inches apart as he reached across her to press the 1 button.
"Seems like a waste of time. Like doing a test fairly when you have the cheat sheet right in front of you."

"And what happens if you lose the cheat sheet, or it tears?" She raised an eyebrow, her cheeks warming just a tad at the close proximity. "Sure, I've got the tech, but technology breaks, you know. It glitches, and there are too many variables."

"Take care of your shit for once, Pegs," he said, leaning against the back wall.

"I do!" She huffed defensively, shaking her head. "It's like I'm cursed or something. I lose everything."

Klaus rolled his eyes in response. "It's all operator error, sweetheart. Things don't grow legs and run away from people."

"It's highly possible, when it comes to the lab." Peggy said, shaking her head. "What d'you propose I do, then. T' keep from losing them."

"I'm not the smart one here, Peggy," he said shrugging. "A tracking device on the reactor in your chest?"

"So I just….track everything I own?" She wrinkled her nose, shaking her head. "That'd only be worth it for bigger, more important things. My phone, maybe." She grinned, eyes sparking playfully. "Or you."

"And that," he said, nudging her with his foot, "Is why I refuse to fall asleep in your lab."

She snickered, nudging him back. "I'm kidding. Mostly. It would come in handy, though…"

"When would you ever need to track me?" he asked, raising an eyebrow as he crossed his arms.

"If you got, like, kidnapped or something. Or you just went missing." She said, matching his stance.

"I doubt you care that much," he said, an amused grin on his face. "You'd worry for a day, then find someone else to toy with and forget all about me."

She blinked, tilting her head as she frowned. "Those are some low expectations there. You really think I'd just…forget about you?"

"I wouldn't blame you, to be honest," he said, shrugging. "I mean, you're the daughter of Tony Stark. I'm some random guy who's the son of a mass murderer who doesn't feel compassion. You could do a lot better."

"And what if…what if that's perfect for me?" She asked, searching his face. "Consider for a second that our parents have nothing to do with this, at all."

"By definition, a sociopath have horrible friendships. We don't feel anything, man." Although it seems to be changing for the better, he thought, frowning slightly. He wasn't really sure what he felt.

"So? I can feel enough for the both of us." She said, leaning back as she fiddled with her dog tags. "You can keep trying to scare me away, but it's not going to work."

"It's gonna end up badly for you, Pegs," he said as the doors of the elevator opened, greeting them to the sight of a greasy-looking main lobby. He got up from the wall, their arms gently grazing each other as he walked by. "Trust me."

"That's my problem to deal with, if it comes to that." She said, shaking her head as she pushed off the wall and followed him. "Which, I highly doubt it will."

"It will," he said, waving at the male receptionist behind the chipped wooden desk, who responded with an emphatic double middle finder. Klaus only grinned in response as they walked out of the lobby.

"Negative Nancy." She said, a repeat of earlier. She looked over at him, sighing sadly, before looking forward once more. "Any chance we can move to a lighter topic? One that doesn't make me want to give you a hug and never let go of you?"
