He switched on the light and laid her on to the bed. She automatically curled up in foetus position, with her back facing him. She blocked all of his thoughts entering her head. She could not bear any disappointment or, worse, pity.

Vision just got up and left her to go into the bathroom. Wanda contemplated if she should make another escape attempt, but she found that she exhausted all energy to make another move.

Vision returned with the First-aid bag that was placed in all rooms. He gently sat on the side of the bed and opened the bag, which revealed an assortment of medical supplies. He took the cotton wool and a bottle of an orange antiseptic liquid.

He poured a little on the wool and moved it towards Wanda's arm. He hesitated for a moment, before proceeding to dab a little of the liquid gingerly on her bloody incisions. She flinched at the touch.

This was a fucking stupid idea! She gritted her teeth together at the feeling of the cold fluid. The regret was trickling into her head.

Vision put the cotton wool down and reached for the bandage.

He broke the silence while wrapping the bandage around her arm, "Why did you do this?"

Wanda looked down at her arm. She could not bring herself to admit her emotions to him. Hell, she could not admit it to herself. So she kept silent.

Vision glanced at her when he fastened the clasp. He cautiously lifted his hand to cup her cheek. Wanda didn't even flinch.

"Look at me." She reluctantly lifted her head to lock her eyes with his memorising aquamarine ones "You can tell me."

"You won't understand." She whispered softly.

"I may be a few days old, but I am not stupid, so let me be the judge on what I understand, alright?"

She looked at Vision and sighed, "Honestly, I don't know what came over me. I think I just wanted to feel something besides emotional pain, depression and anger. I just wanted a small moment of relief from this constant battle that is going on in my mind. I just wanted to feel something!" Wanda twisted away from his gaze. She could not face him.

"So you thought that this was the only way to distract you?" Vision said.

"Yes…no…maybe…I don't know!" She said exasperatedly, "It was something that I decided in the moment. I wasn't in my right mind when I decided to do it!" She spun her head around quickly and looked in his eyes desperately. "I swear that was the only time that I attempted to do something like that."

Their eyes locked again, and neither pulled away this time. Wanda braved herself to read any thoughts in his mind.

Pity

Worry

Anxiety

...

...

There was this other feeling that was impossible to unlock from his thoughts. She found that this happened when the other person did not know that it exists. Before she could ask he tucks a lock of her hair behind her ear.

"I believe you."

A warm flood of gratitude flows through her veins. It was the first positive feeling that she has felt in forever.

Vision's hand fell from her cheek on to his lap. He felt conflicted. On one hand he should return to the party before anyone realises that he has been missing. Then they might find Wanda in this state.

But on the other hand, she is very vulnerable at the moment. She needs someone to comfort and to watch over her for the moment. Maybe he should get Natasha to come over. Apparently that is what the female sex tended to prefer.

Vision gets up, but is obstructed by Wanda's good hand. She looks at him with pleading eyes.

"Please don't go yet." She said.

Vision pondered it over. Maybe he should stay at least until she falls asleep. That way he could return to the party without any questions asked.

She made room for him to lie on the bed.

"Are you sure?"

She hastily nodded and patted the spot next to her.

He cautiously sat down and hoisted his legs over the edge of the bed to settle his body comfortably next to her. Weirdly enough he did not have any sense of awkwardness as he expected it to be. There was only a feeling of warmth spreading inside of him.

He was not going to lie; he has these feelings towards her. He could not explain it. It was not like the feelings towards Stark or Captain Rogers or any of the others. It was need to protect her, to comfort her. He doesn't mean only at this moment, but always. Whenever she accidently bruises her arm, or trips down the stairs, he is always the first to rush towards her and help her up. He even finds himself thinking of her unintentionally. He found that he needed her to be somewhere in his sight, which is why he went to search for her (the food was used as an excuse).

Once he found himself asking Stark about these feelings. Stark looked him with wide-eyes.

"Are you sure Vision?" Stark had said, "I mean do you really think of her like that?"

Vision nodded. "I don't understand why I get them."

"Neither do I, Vision, neither do I." Stark paused for a second, "I did not even think that something like that was even possible."

Stark just walked off without an explanation.

Wanda curled herself against his warm body. She laid her head on his chest. She remembered when she was younger; she would crawl and sleep besides Pietro when she had Nightmares. He was always happy to have her next to him, because as much as he didn't like to admit it, he needed the comfort as much as she did. She knew why this memory resurfaced.

It felt just like this.

She could not help herself shedding a few more tears.

"Shhhhh, I am here." Vision softly said in her ear. He wrapped his arms tightly around her. Wanda cried harder. He, being Vision, thought it was his fault. He loosened his hold on her.

"Sorry, I did not mean…" He apologised

"No, no, no. It is not your fault." She said in a lighter tone, "It's just that these random memories keep resurfacing in times like this."

"I wish I could take this pain away from you, but I can't." He said quietly.

Wanda shifts her body to face him, "You have done more than you think." He met her stare, and she all the suddenly felt self-conscience about how close they are. Wanda was never this close with any man, emotional and physically, in her life. The closest was probably her twin. She cleared her throat, "I mean, you did save me from myself." She pointed her eyes down to her bandaged arm. Vision offered a small smile.

There was a small moment of silence that past between the two. Wanda never confessed to anyone that she found him particularly attractive. He was respectful and he had this manner that was appealing. Ever since he was created until now she found herself drifting into fantasies about the two of them, and they're not all PG-rated.

"Is there something wrong with my lips?" Vision broke the silence. Wanda gave him a questioning look.

"Sorry?"

"It is just that you are staring at it in the most interesting manner."

Crap! I was doing it again! That happened much more than she wished to admit. "No, there is nothing," She said quickly, looking away, "Nothing interesting in the slightest." Would he understand if I told him my feelings?

Vision asked in a low tone "Wanda, what are you not telling me?"

Should I tell him? She thought

I want to came the response.

She took a deep breathe.

And turned to him

She opened her mouth

The words that she wanted to say came flooding out of her mouth.

"I think I may be in love with you." She did not give him a chance to reply as she pressed her mouth against his.

There was this instant spark that came between them when she kissed him.

Vision was frozen at first as he tried to process that information that just happened.

Loves me? She is in love with me? Is that the feeling that I have felt? Is that what Stark meant when he said that he didn't know it was possible. That I shouldn't be able to have those feelings…

Within all the other of hundreds of thousands of questions, he had one definite answer.

I love her too.

He responded to her touch by kissing back. She smiled under the kiss.

He cupped her cheek as he deepened the kiss. He knew that this was probably wrong on many different levels, but in a small way it was right. Wanda needed this comfort. Vision knew that he could never replace the empty hole where Pietro stayed, but he knew, given enough time, he could at least help to heal it.

She let out a tiny sigh as he ran his fingers through her hair. She pushed his body against his as too close any gaps between them.

Vision stops suddenly.

"What?" Wanda asks worried. Did I do something wrong?

He gives her a sweet smile, "I could not stop thinking how beautiful you are." Wanda blushed at the compliment. No one ever looked at her twice, never mind actually giving her a compliment.

"And I just want to say, if you ever feel like this again, please come to me. I could not bear you hurting yourself again. Promise this for me."

She smiled, "I promise with all my heart."
