Wanda Time!
***THE NEXT MORNING***
Laying in each other's arms still they almost never moved their spots. His arms are tight around her. Her head in the crook of his neck. He kept his face in her hair. And as the sun was rising, the rays hit her face as they flowed through the blinds on the windows. Making it warmer than she already was, so it made her stir, she fluttered her eyes and looked at the blinds seeing the light.
Veronika sighed and tried to roll to her back but the boy on top of her had a grip that didn't cease. She looked at him and remembered how she had helped him fall to sleep. How he asked her to stay. Then cuddled up to her. The thoughts of all that happened making a smile take its place on her lips.
Staring at his sleeping form, feeling relaxed as she watched him sleep. Breaths soft and slow, eyes shut and some snores slipping out. She got lost in watching him and slowly put her hand on his cheek and let her thumb caress his jaw and cheek. Moved to his hair and ran her fingers through it slowly. As she kept her gaze on him.
"Staring is rude." He mumbled.
She froze and looked at him. "You're awake?"
He smirked lazily.
"How long?"
"I just woke up from the head scratches." He mumbled.
"Wow, open your eyes and tell me next time Silver." She pushed his shoulder and tried moving from his grip again but his grip just became tighter. And he became vocal.
"No!" He WHINED "Stay with me. I like you here. Stay."
"You were just picking on me!"
"Because it's cute to see you get frustrated with me." He lifted his head so he could see her.
"Ugh, whatever." She laughed and turned into him again looking at him. He looked at her adoringly, as if the only person in the world was her. "What?'
"What, 'what'?"
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I can't just look at you?"
"You can but why like that?" She laughed, moving to have their heads at the same level.
"I just like looking at you." He whispered.
Tilted her head and a smile just appeared. "Okay Maximoff whatever you say." she chuckled and looked at his eyes. Deep down she wished she hadn’t gotten with him, but not because she didn’t like him…just words from her childhood that haunted her.
She didn’t want him dragged into it.
She didn't want to worry about it. For now, she can look into his eyes.
They just shone as he stared at her and studied her.
"You’re staring again, Rogers."
She blushed, "we’re exchanging stares." She smirked.
He laughed letting himself fall onto his back. She watched him, his eyes didn't have as bad circles under them as they did yesterday. But she wasn't that much focused on that. She was focused on how the sunlight hit his eyes. How they gleamed with his laughter. The way he smiled. Until they had decided on this little ordeal she had never truly noticed how stunning he was. Like she knew he had looks, but what she sees now is a different level. She could look at him for hours.
He looked back at her. He is now studying her. "What are you thinking about dragă?" he tilted his head. Watching her.
"Things. What about you Silver?"
He smiled as he watched her eyes still, she had moved a hand to his cheek. "You." he whispers, for it's true. He thought of her eyes that looked like emeralds with hints of amber around the pupil. The scar through her left eye that was a little faded with time he always found it stunning, found her stunning, though never knowing the story behind it. He thought of the smile that sent him into a paradise. He just adored staring at her, she is just beautiful.
"You're flirt, Silver." She whispered back.
"Your flirt. It belongs to you now." He smiled.
She laughed, shaking her head, "whatever you say."
She ran her thumb along his bottom lip and their eyes stayed connected to each other. It was just them, this moment and it felt as if it could last forever. He slowly lifted his head to meet hers, she caught what he was trying to do and kissed his lips. Him reacting immediately. She held his face still as they kissed gently. He rolled them over causing the kiss to break as she laughed.
"You laugh cute."
"I know." She smirked.
"Cocky all of a sudden?"
"Mhmm." She smirked again and nodded.
He chuckled, shaking his head and kissing her again until banging met his door. They both jumped and he looked at Veronika as he said. "Who is it?"
"It's Wanda, have you seen Veronika?"
"I just woke up so no!"
"Then why have you been laughing and talking for the past ten minutes?"
"Uhh...Artemis came here."
"She's by my feet."
Veronika let out a laugh and he put his hand over her mouth.
"Just admit you have a girl over and I'll go." Wanda said through the door.
"Fine, I have a girl here, just go!" He said a little aggressively.
"Prost. Alright, if you see Ver send her to my room."
(Dumbass)
"Înapoi la tine. And won't be seeing her but sure."
(Back at you.)
Wanda's steps left the area of the door, and he removed his hand letting Veronika laugh a little harder.
"Why didn't you just say you were talking to yourself!?"
"Because that is weird."
She rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Alright enough of this I should go now."
"Why?"
"You heard Wanda, she's looking for me! Besides I did promise we'd hang out when I came home, she knows I'm home I need to go."
He pouted and still not moving off her looked at her. "But what about me?"
"I'll come back later."
"But I want you to stay."
"Too bad." She used her powers to move him to his back and gave him a peck and smirked. "See you around." She got up and quickly went to her room to change before looking for Wanda.
"Finally! There you are!" She heard the Sokovian girl's voice.
"Here I am!"
"Where have you been all day?! I looked in all your normal spots!" She started explaining. "I even asked Artemis, but she kept going to Pietro's room, so I knew that was wrong cause he has girl-"
"I was hiding in the shadows! I was gonna scare Silver when he woke up, but I heard he had girl over, so I didn't get the chance." She lied and Wanda gave her a questioning look. Yes, Wanda can read minds but not Veronika's unless Veronika lets her. That's the trick since she's had her powers longer, she knew how to block and allow others into her thoughts, a trick she picked up a while ago that now came in great use.
"Well alright, now how about we bake something? Or go shopping!"
"How about shopping? Get Tony's card, we can pick one of the cars!" She smirked; Wanda nodded smirking as well.
“I like your thinking I’ll get the card you get the car.” She said and ran getting the card while Veronika picked up the mustang.
After they grabbed what they needed Wanda met her at the mustang and they left, Veronika driving because she could do that...luckily...sometimes.
They headed for their favorite mall that is located in the city. But as they were in the car they talked.
"So, you and Vision getting anywhere little miss has crush?"
Wanda's eyes widened.
"You know!?"
"Wands EVERYONE knows, except funnily enough, Vision themself. They're smart and part machine, so guess that makes them extra oblivious. But I want to hear from YOU what's happening."
"I do like them, but I don't really know how to go about it."
"Talking about it is good start."
"HAH! Like you're one to talk about feelings!"
"OH? What does that mean my dear Wanda?"
"My brother! I know it bothers you he brought home another girl. Yet you never say it. I see your looks."
"What looks?"
"You get all pouty and moody. Well, it hasn't been like that for over two months, but he brought home someone last night..." Wanda looked at her friend who was pulling up to the place. "How did that make you feel? Be truthful."
Veronika thought for a second, it doesn't seem fair to lie to Wanda, not only is she Veronika's best friend. Even after their difficulties they've come to become close. But Wanda is Pietro's sister, and not just his older or younger, she's, his TWIN.
"I..." She started; Wanda waited patiently. She should tell her, right? It's not fair to lie to her too. Especially as she keeps thinking about it, she feels worse about it. "I have something to tell you." Veronika said finally.
"What? What is it!?" Wanda got excited.
The ex-assassin laughed, "You can't tell anyone about what I'm about to tell you alright? Promise me. Not even Vis."
Wanda nodded and wore a smile ear to ear. "I promise! Spill!"
Veronika sighed and looked at her hands. "Pietro and I..." She looked at the girl again. "Well, we're uhm...we've sort of had a little thing going on."
"YES! I KNEW IT! Sam owes me 20 bucks now!"
"What did I tell you! No one can know!" Veronika said, holding Wanda's shoulders.
"Why not?"
"He and I agreed that we'd keep whatever is happening between us a secret! At least until I know how far our- MY trust goes..."
Wanda tilted her head. "LIKE THE PADME AND ANAKIN THING!?"
"Oh, my stars I never thought about that-" Veronika said shocked.
Yes, Star Wars was watched because yet again that kid in the high school group chat recommended it to her, so she dragged Wanda with her. Now they both have an obsession and Piet may or may not be jealous of one Anakin Skywalker for no particular reason...
Anyways.
"You're Anakin and he's Padme though-"
"Not point Wanda–though I agree I mean- it kind of makes sense. But what I mean is, I don't want anyone knowing just yet, give us at least one or two more months?"
"Ugh fine! Maybe I can get Sam to up the bet bid." she said with a smirk.
Veronika rolled her eyes, "Be nice to Sammy he doesn't deserve that." She said as she was getting out of the Mustang.
Wanda laughed and followed her. "Wait, so you and him have been dating for how long now?"
"Two months and I wouldn't call it dating when we haven't gone on dates yet."
"'Two months?' Wow okay that's good though! I'm happy for you both!" She smiled at Veronika as they walked into one of the stores with their hoods up and sunglasses on. Honestly, they both thought it was a horrible way to hide in plain sight but if it works don't mess with it right? "Though I am bummed you hadn't told me the single most important detail in your and my brother's life, for two months!" she nudged the ex-assassin's side.
"I'm sorry Wands. But at least you know now, and he and I can feel less guilty. Though still feel bad about Dad and Mama." she sighed. "He obviously doesn't want dad knowing but I know I can't keep lying to them for long."
"Well, I'm sorry Ver, I'm sure both Piet and you will figure it out. Don't fret." The red head smiled.
"Anyways let's enjoy-" She stopped looking past Wanda. "Look at that dress!" Veronika rushed to a black dress with white star and sun looking shapes on it, basically her whole wardrobe (excuse a few pieces of comfort wear) was homage to her powers and her boyfriend. Thank you to Pietro's sweatshirts.
"Ooh you would look great in that! You should get it!" She looked at it carefully and at Veronika.
"But isn't price a bit too much?"
"Tony's card, who cares. Get it."
"Well, he already hates me so why not." She shrugged slightly with a small smile.
Wanda chuckled and that’s when she saw a deep blue dress on the next rack.
“Where would we wear these?” Veronika asked as she helped Wanda find her size.
“While we sit on the couch, we can have chips or ice cream.” Wanda suggested and shrugged. “Or better yet girls' night, ORRR for you whenever you and Pietro decide to actually go on dates.”
Veronika blushed not acknowledging Wanda’s statement and when Wanda found her size, they walked the store more.
“How’s Peter? The kid from that group chat you talk about?”
“He’s alright, he and his friend Ned were talking about a science project they had last week to me. They’re pretty nice.” Veronika smiled as she was picking through rings.
“So why did you spend the night in his room?” Wanda asked out of the blue.
Veronika froze as she looked at the rings and picked up rings that had gems on them. She thought about what had happened last night.
She is his sister so I’m pretty sure she would know.
“Well, I was helping him with his…nightmare. So he asked me to stay. So I did.”
“Wait, did you say his nightmares?” Wanda said once Veronika stopped talking.
“Yes, you did know right-”
“I knew he’s still having them.” She sighed and looked down.
“Wait, you didn’t know he’s been having them?”
“He told me they stopped when we came to the compound! But you helped him?”
“With my powers. Dreams to nightmares; nightmares to dreams, I can make people fall asleep. It is why fa- my superior called me Nightshade.” She said to Wanda.
“Oh?” Wanda gave her a look she knew her father, but she knew Veronika hated speaking of it. “I didn’t know that you could do that. That’s interesting.”
The girl shrugged as she picked up another pack of rings slightly bigger than the one’s already in hand. “Yeah it’s…” she looked at her hands, “something. Anyways I’m just happy I could help him.” Veronika shrugged. Wanda smiled behind her friend.
“I knew you had something for him, and I’m RELIEVED it finally happened.” Wanda said, pushing Veronika’s arm. The girls laughed and went to pay for their clothes then headed towards their coffee shop they loved. To just sit around till they decided to go home.
