A/N: So I went to an amusement park today and while I was on that tree swing ride, you know which one I'm talking about right, and this came to me. I have to give a warning. This chapter will be sappy and clique as fuck. Also, if you haven't noticed I get writers block really easily so please if you have a suggestion let me know. It will make this story go so much smoother and I might actually be able to get chapters out on a regular basis.
Wanda and Vision lay cuddled up of the couch, Wanda resting her head against his chest as Vision reads to her. She's really not sure what he's reading, something by Shakespeare or something along those line, she just loves listening to his voice and feeling the vibrations coming from his chest as he reads.
Vision loves it as much as she does. He loves having Wanda cuddled up to him as he holds her. He often finds himself listening to her soft breathing as he strokes her hair and reads to her. He knows that she's not actually listening to the story but the times he sees Wanda so relaxed are so few he can't seem to care if she's listening or not.
A loud whine breaks them both out of their peaceful state as they both look in the direction of the noise.
" But mom, we go every year."
Glancing over by the stairs, they see Lila and Cooper giving begging looks to a frustrated looking Laura.
" I know, but it might too dangerous to go this year."
" But daddy said we could go just yesterday."
Laura raises an eyebrow at them before calling for Clint. Clint quickly makes his way into the room followed shortly by Natasha.
" Is something wrong, Laura."
" Did you tell the kids we would be going to the fair this year?"
Clint looks down at his pouting kids before giving his wife an innocent smile.
" Yeah I told them that yesterday. We go every year after all."
" You haven't been a wanted criminal in over 100 countries the last few years that we've went."
" I talked to Nat and Steve about it. We should be fine as long as long as we're careful. Come on, Laura, are you really going to keep the kids from one of their favorite event of the year?"
Laura glares at him and then gives a reluctant sigh.
" Fine, they can go. But you're taking them and I don't want them back any later than 10:00 at latest and no sugar after 8:00."
The kids cheer and start jumping up and down. Lila runs over to Wanda and Vision and grabs Wanda's arm.
" Wanda has to go with us."
" Um, where..."
" And Vision has to come too since he goes everywhere Wanda does."
Wanda flushes at the statement and Natasha smirks at her.
" And Aunty Nat has to come. I wish she had her boyfriend here so you guys could do a double date and..."
Wanda stands up and grabs her hand.
" Okay, Lila, we'll go. Why don't you help me pick out something to wear since I've never been to one of these things."
Wanda takes Lila upstairs and into her room and sits her down on the bed.
" Lila, it's probably best is you don't mention anything to do with Nat's love life right now."
" But she has a boyfriend, right? The doctor man who turns all green."
" Something came up that has them separated right now. Nat is kind of sensitive about it."
" Oh, that's sad. I'll try to not say anything about it though."
Wanda smiles and begins to go through her clothes and holds things up for Lila to see.
" I would where something comfortable like shorts and a shirt. But still make it cute."
" Why cute?"
" Just because you can't do a double date doesn't mean that you can't make this trip to the fair into a regular date."
Wanda stares at her with wide eyes and sighs.
" Look, Lila, Vizh and I aren't together like that."
" But you obviously love each other. You look at each other the same way mommy and daddy do. You always are cuddled up and holding hands and things like that."
" That may be but Vizh doesn't love me. Besides we are on opposite sides of the law."
" Which shows his love for you even more. He's here with you instead far away where he should be."
Wanda gives her a small smile and shakes her head.
" That would be something wouldn't it? If he were here because he loves me."
" He is though."
" How do you know stuff like this? You're like 8 years old."
" Almost 9. and my friend has a sister that's in high school who always tells a bunch of things about love."
Wanda let's out a laugh and sits on the bed next to her.
" Alright enough from you. You should go get ready to go to this fair thingy."
Lila giggles as she runs out of Wanda's room. Wanda quickly changes her clothes and then sits on the bed and let's out a breath. A knock on the door startles her and she looks up to see Vision standing in the door way in his human disguise. She has to give a look at his clothes as they were the most normal and casual things she had ever seen him in, consisting of jeans and a fitted shirt.
" Hey."
" Hey. Are you okay?"
" Yeah, just didn't plan on going out today."
" We don't have to go. I could go tell Mr. Barton that we'd rather stay in."
" No, Lila and Cooper wants us to come. Also I've never been to a fair before."
" Neither have I. Though I have read that they are consisting of a lot of rides, clowns, scam game booths, and any food you can think of in deep fried batter."
Wanda laughs and stands up and grabs her bag.
" Well how can I miss that. We should head down stairs before Lila starts dragging us."
They head downstairs and find everybody waiting for them.
" Are we all going, Clint?"
" No Laura is staying to look after Nathaniel and Sam and Steve aren't going."
" Why not?"
" I've got a call with Shuri about how Bucky is doing in about an hour."
" And fairs and carnivals are just not my thing. I'm not a huge fan of the carnies and things like that."
" Translation, he's scared of clowns."
" Oh haha, Nat. Have you seen 'IT'? I have a freaking reason to be scared."
They all laugh, well besides Sam who sits pouting.{1}
Those going to the fair bid the others goodbye before heading out the door and climbing into Clint's truck. The drive into town while the kids chat very excitedly. Once they arrive at the fair grounds they get out and walk towards the ticket booth, the kids already fighting about which ride to go on first. As soon as they walk in they are met with the smell of fried food and the sound of screaming children and loud, obnoxious music.
Wanda looks around in awe. She had imagined it to be more chaotic, though she figured it was due to the fact that they were there in the middle of the day and it would be more crazy and busy at night. She is pulled out of her thoughts by Clint setting down for rules.
" Alright, everybody should try to check in as much as possible. Lila and Cooper, you must have an adult with you or waiting for you after a ride at all times. Try to blend in as much as possible. And if you want a prize from one of the shooting games come get me, just because they're a scam doesn't mean I can't win them. And if you want a prize from any of the others you should get Nat or maybe Vision since they have a higher chance of winning then the rest of us."
" But isn't that cheating, Mr. Barton?"
" Hey, they cheat us we cheat them. Don't tell Laura I said that though, she'll say I'm being a bad influence to the kids."
They all shake their heads at Clint and begin to depart. Lila begins to drag Wanda to one of the rides and Clint calls out to them.
" Don't forget what I said."
" Yes, Dad."
" Don't sass me, Wanda!"
Wanda laughs as she continues to walk with Lila, Vision following closely behind. Lila drags them onto all kinds of rides from crazy roller coasters to relaxing swing rides. Eventually, Nat comes and takes over looking after Lila because Wanda is so dizzy from the last ride that Vision has to hold her so she doesn't fall over. Once she is able to stand straight, they decide to go look at what they have for food options. Everything they found was in some form fried so they settle for sharing a funnel cake, which confuses Wanda since it is neither and actual cake nor served in the shape of a funnel. As they eat they discus how they are probably eating the healthiest food in the fair.
" What kind of wack job creates this kind of crap? Almost everything here could give an Olympic athlete a heart attack with just one bite."
" Agreed. I saw a sign for a deep fried, double, bacon, donut burger. And they were selling them in packs of 6 or 12."
" That is probably the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of."
After they eat, they walk around and look at different booths selling things, mostly home made items. They make a long stop at a jewelry booth, Wanda taking interest in a specific necklace. It was a small oval shaped yellow sapphire on a silver chain{2}. However, the price was ridiculous on everything at the booth so she doesn't end up buying anything. They then meet up with Clint and Nat who are playing a bunch of games and winning a bunch of prizes for Lila and Cooper, much to the grief of the carnies running the games. Vision even plays a few games and wins one of those giant unicorn stuffed animals for Lila and a remote control helicopter for Cooper.
As it gets later and it gets darker, the fair gets more crowded and noisy. They all agree to do a few more rides and games before they leave and split off again. Nat had told Wanda that they should go on the Ferris wheel, apparently it has a great view of the fair when it's all lit up like it is now. Wanda grabs Vision's hand and they walk over to the ride. The old women running the ride gives them a smile as they get into their basket like seats and tells them that they can sit on the side if they wanted to. The ride goes smoothly accept for some jerking when the ride stopped to let people on and off. That was until it jerks suddenly to a stop, causing Wanda to fall onto Vision. They exchange worried looks as a voice comes over the loud speaker saying that there is some kind of jam in the system and asking them to stay calmly in their seats. With that they are left at the top of the Ferris wheel until things are fixed.
Wanda looks out over the fair and she had to admit that Nat was right, the view was pretty amazing. You could see the entire fair, all lit up in bright colorful lights, and in the far distance you can see someone shooting off fireworks. A breeze fills the air causing Wanda to shiver. Noticing her shiver, Vision wraps his arms around her and she cuddles up to his chest as they watch the lights together. After a while, Wanda looks up and sees that he is contemplating.
" Vizh, what's wrong?"
" Nothing, I'm just thinking. I …. I got you something."
Vision reaches into his pocket and produces a small box. Handing it to her, he gestures for her to open it. Wanda opens the box and is shocked to see the necklace that she was looking at earlier.
" Vizh, you really shouldn't have. This was ridiculously over priced."
" I have wanted to get you something nice for a while now, and you really liked this one. I'd say it was worth the price."
Wanda sighs, knowing that it was no use arguing with him. She smiles and takes the necklace out of the box and hands it to him.
" Will you help me put it on?"
Vision nods and Wand moves her hair out of the way as he clasps the chain around her neck. Wanda looks at the gem and smiles as it reflects the lights around them. When she looks up to smile at him she notices that he's staring at her again, the same stare he's been giving her a lot lately.
" Vizh.."
Before she can ask if he's okay he leans in and presses his lips to hers. Wanda's eyes widen in shock as he pulls away just as quickly as he had leaned in.
" I'm sorry, I don't..."
Wanda silences him with her lips, brushing just as lightly as he had.
" Don't say anything that will ruin the moment."
Vision responds by kissing her again, this time a little harder but still gentle and light, neither of them wanting to push the other. Wanda's hand reaches to cup the side of his face as his goes around the back of her neck. They break apart after a minute and rest their foreheads together, their faces flushed and breathing slightly heavy.
" Wanda, I..."
Before he could say anything the ride jerks again and they were moving. The pair separates as they get to the bottom and get off, receiving an apology from the ride workers as they left and headed for the agreed meeting spot. When they get there they are met by a worried Clint and a rather pissed looking Natasha.
" Where were you two?! We were suppose to meet almost 45 minutes ago!"
" We were so worried that something bad had happened or you were trapped somewhere."
" We kind of were. The Ferris wheel broke down while we were on it. Something got jammed and we were on the very top so we couldn't get down."
Clint gives a nod and though she still looks pissed Natasha's face softens in understanding. They head out after that. The kids were worn from the day and so the ride to the house was mostly in silence. When they reached the house they were met by Laura who wasn't happy about them being home later than she said they should but after some explaining she calmed down. They unloaded the stuff they had gotten at the fair and went inside to head to bed. Wanda goes straight into her room and changes into sleepwear before getting into bed. She looks at the necklace she still has on and sighs. She knew that they needed to talk about what happened but it was already so late at night that they would have to do it in morning. She turns onto her side and closes her eyes, trying to find sleep that she knew wouldn't come easily.
{1} So I realize that I do a lot of picking on Sam. This is mostly due to me just coming up with things and Sam is the only one I can think of who would fit for me to throw them at. But don't worry, there will be at least one 90 year old virgin jab at Steve some time in the next few chapters.
{2} First, yes, I am talking about a stone similar the mind stone, like I said clique. Second, I know that a sapphire is most known for being blue but they actually come in a crap ton of colors, including all of the colors for all six infinity stones.
A/N: Oh my god. I told you this chapter was going to to be sappy. We finally get a kiss, however, this does not mean I'm going to rush their relationship now like so many other writers do. I'm not that good but I'm good enough to know not to do that. Anyway, sorry about the wait since the last chapter, I hope that this extra long chapter makes up for it.
