Wanda's POV
I was searching for Steve somewhere in the Avengers Facility, I needed to talk to him about something that has been bothering me for some while now. I turned a corner and he was in the conference room making notes on a briefing. I approach him and he notices me and smiles brightly at me, I was nervous so I smiled back at him.
"Captain Rogers, can I ask you a question?" I ask, I don't normally ask question as I am new and don't want to ask too many questions, but this, I needed answering. He looks at me surprised because I never normally ask questions about anything, so he put his pen down on top of his paper and then he paid full attention to me.
"Of course you can, Wanda. Take a seat and tell me what's bothering you." He says kindly, I take a seat next to him and I was facing him, I start to twiddle my fingers a bit because I don't know what answer I will get.
"What's love?" I ask simply, I just wanted to get that question out and in the open, Steve looked a bit surprised of why I would ask that, I am lonely after all. However, he did give me an answer.
"Love? In my opinion love is when she feel a strong connection to someone, where you just about do anything and everything for someone to be happy. You make the stars fall for them. But love would also come would fights, like temper fights, but then you'd get through it. When you're in love, you look at the whole world different. Love makes you feel wheezy inside and when you see the person that you're in love with you feel like you see them all over again, it's the best feeling in the world. Why'd you ask, Wanda?" His face was calm and interested, his answer made me excited and I was speechless I didn't know to respond, was it that good?
"Vision." I say looking away from his gaze, I was felt too happy to look at him, if love is really that good, I will tell Vision today instead of waiting and getting what people would call 'friend-zoned'.
"Vision, eh? I think you should go after him, he could use someone to teach him how to love, even if he is a team member, who cares? It would make this team stronger, you two caring for each other would mean you would have each other's backs." Steve was making so much sense, I've seen all this on television and in the movies, they say that you should fight for love, that's based on real life and Steve is real life, just like Vision.
"I guess you're right, Captain Rogers." I say as I stand up and I hug him, I'm filled with joy. "Thank you for your help." I say before I make my way out and then got to the kitchen, I was feeling hungry. I immediately bump into Vision, I could feel my smile beaming on my face. Vision looked like he was upset about something, was he okay? It must be fate we bumped.
"Hey Vis, I was looking for you, I wanted to talk to you about something." I say but the look on his face was bothering and I could feel my mood change. "Are you okay Vis?" I was concerned about him. Steve didn't say anything about the other person being hurt makes you hurt too.
"Yeah, I was just deep in thought about something. What did you to talk about?" He says and then I see him smile, I then felt happy that he was smiling again, I don't want to see that smile go. I grab the top of his hand and I get him to go over to the sofa where we both sit down.
"I have been thinking and I think I want to start dating." I say still smiling, hoping that he gets the message, but his face looks upset again.
"That's great, Wanda. I'm sure you'd make an amazing girlfriend to whomever you want to court." He says, I feel like he was lying to me somehow, me and Vision had never lied to each other before. I could feel my cheeks blush, he said I'd be an amazing girlfriend, I just hope that he knows I want to be his girlfriend.
"Well you see, Vis, there's this one person that I want to date, but I don't know if he's into me, can you help?" I look up at him through my long lashes, he looked even worse than he did before, it was like he was thinking, what was happening to him?
"I don't think I could, Wanda, love isn't my expertise." He says, and in an instant, I felt my heartbreak, I don't understand why, did he not like me? Steve was wrong, love hurts like a bitch, I wish I could just strip my feelings away. I felt like I was going to cry, I was.
"That's fine, I get it, I'll just, I'll just ask someone else. It's fine." I lied and I got up, I then wiped away the tears that fell from my eyes and I ran to my room so I could cry. I sit on my bed and bring my knees up to my face and just cry, was I really so stupid to let my emotions get the better of me. Just then, Vision phased through the door, I always know when he does.
"Wanda, are you okay?" He asks, he knows the answer would be no, so why would he even ask me anyway, he sits next to me on my bed. I was still crying, I could feel the awkwardness of Vision, he didn't know what to do, so he placed a hand on my back, it felt reassuringly nice.
"Do you not like me Vision?" I ask finally looking up at him and looking in his eyes deeply, I could see his eyes softened up at the question, it's like he finally knew why I was crying.
"Of course I like you, Wanda. You're my closest friend in here." It pains me to hear him say friend, I guess he doesn't know what love, I could feel myself getting angry because I wanted to tell Vision then and there about how much I care for him and how much he's helped me with the passing of my brother. Who cares if he's an android, he's good enough for me.
"You're my closest friend in here too, Vis." I lie as I curled up into his chest, I could then feel him put his arm fully around me. I tried not to get too attached to him, no matter what he says, what he does and how he makes me feel. He called me a friend and that's what I am to him, at least I am something to him.
1 Year Later
I was washing dishes when a thought came back to me from a year ago, when Vision called me a friend, I promised myself I would never get attached to him, yet here I am. I felt Vision come behind me and grab a towel, to dry them.
"Vis, can I ask you a question?" I ask, not knowing how to ask what I'm about to ask because it was over a year ago, I wonder if he even remembers, there have been many times where he has comforted me in my sleep and through my tears.
"Of course you can. I'll answer it to the best of my ability." He says smiling brightly at me and continues to dry the dishes.
"About a year ago, I came to you about dating. You said you knew nothing about love, yet here we are. Can I ask, what's changed?" I could see the whole of Vision's body language change, he tensed up and he was drying the dishes slower.
"Nothing has changed." He says, which raises more questions than what it answers. I turn to him and stop what I'm doing, he does to after he sees me dropping everything.
"What do you mean nothing has changed? Do you mean that you still don't know a dam thing about love?" I ask not knowing I was pointing a wet kitchen knife right at him.
"I mean that, when we had that conversation, I was already in love." He says pointing the knife away from him and putting it to the side, getting close to me. "That day, I asked Stark about love and it was the worst mistake because he was wrong about everything." He says as he was inching closer to me.
"Stark, I spoke to Steve and he said it was the happiest thing ever." I say looking in his eyes, he was now only inches away from me.
"Well I wish I had spoken to Steve too, because that day I was dying to kiss you. You were there and I had been told to let you go, so I tried my best to, but I never did. I love you, Wanda, always have, always will." He says but that just then sends me over the edge, I grab his head and bring him down to my height, I put his lips on mine and every time it feels different.
After a minute or so, I pull away and whisper "I love you too". He then smiles and kisses me again, I love him and this time, I'll never let him go. Never.
