AN: Enjoy the Chapter!
After that, Vision was much happier. Or at least he was, until Wanda suggested..
"Maybe Tomorrow night, you can cook Paprikash for me. To help you feel more involved in meal time."
"Cook for you? Well.."
"You said that you've been practising, haven't you?" Wanda flashed him a cheeky grin. "Arata-mi ce ai invatat."
"Well.." He had been practising, and he had been practising specifically for Wanda. It was lucky, he thought, that Tony and Col. Rhodes liked Paprikash. "Alright."
The following night, as Vision prepared the meal, Wanda sat watching his every move, wearing that same cheeky grin. Occasionally, she made comments on his actions.
"Hmm. Alegere interesanta."
"Wanda.." Vision sighed.
"Yes?"
"You're being very distracting, and I am trying to focus."
"Oops" She bit her lip, feigning innocence. Vision's cheeks suddenly grew quite warm, and it wasn't because of the stove. "Sorry, Vizh."
"I'm almost done here.. do you think you could find something else to do, just for a few minutes?"
"Of course. I will go set the table." Wanda bounced out of the room.
Vision watched her go, then shook his head slightly to clear his mind, turning his attention back to his cooking.
Soon, Vision dished up a plate and walked out to set it on the table. Then, he politely pulled out Wanda's chair for her.
"It smells great, Vizh." Wanda sat down to eat.
Vision sat across from her, waiting anxiously as she tasted.
"Well?"
"Mmm. Delicios" Wanda grinned at him after she had taken a few bites. "You got it perfect this time, Vizh."
"Thank you. I'm glad you like it." Vision smiled, quite proud of himself.
After Wanda finished eating they sat down to watch a movie together. Soon after the film finished, Wanda fell asleep, curled into Vision's side.
Vision chuckled softly. This was becoming a bit of a habit. He gently scooped her into his arms, carrying her to bed. Carefully tucked her in, pressing a kiss to her forehead.
"Sleep well, Wanda. I love you."
Vision cleaned up the kitchen, and had just sat down and opened a new book when he he heard Wanda scream. He found himself flying to her room, as he flew faster than he could run. Wisps of red energy flickered under the door.
"Wanda!" He knocked furiously at the door. "Wanda, are you alright?!"
"S-Stay out there! I just.. just give me a minute.."
"Wanda.."
"Just wait!"
So, Vision waited. But as he waited, he listened. The energy wasn't fading this time, and Wanda was clearly growing more distressed. He couldn't wait any longer.
"Wanda, I'm coming in!"
"No! I don't want to hurt you!"
Vision would never usually go against her wishes, but this time he felt he had to. He phased through the door. Pushed his way through the wild energy until he reached Wanda, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her against his chest.
"It's okay" Vision held her close. "It's okay. I'm here, I've got you. You won't hurt me, I'm not afraid of you."
Vision's presence calmed Wanda, and slowly, the energy dissipated. She looked up at him with wide eyes.
"Y-You're not afraid?"
"No. I could never be afraid of you. I love you far too much." For a while, they stayed that way, Vision rubbing Wanda's back to help her rapid breathing settle. "You need to get back to sleep.."
"Vizh, wait.." Wanda seized hold of him as he made to move away. "Stai cu mine. Stay with me, please?"
Vision pulled her back against him.
"Always."
"Thank you."
Wanda didn't feel like going back to sleep right away. They gazed deeply into each other's eyes. Wanda reached up to touch Vision's cheek, almost reverently. The way he looked at her.. she'd never thought anyone would look at her like that.
Vision, in return, never thought that he would be lucky enough to have someone as beautiful as Wanda look at him the way she was right now.
She kissed him, deeply, and he returned it. In time, the kiss grew more heated, and slowly, they let the remaining barriers between them fall away.
The first time they made love was much like everything else in their relationship until that point. Taking care of each other, loving each other.
Vision whispered to Wanda how beautiful he thought she was.
Wanda made sure Vision knew that she loved him, all of him. That everything was alright, that no, he wasn't hurting her.
Afterwards, as they lay tangled together, Vision was brought out of a happy fog by what sounded, to him, like the voice of an angel.
"Vizh.. Vision, are you okay?"
"I think so.. are you?"
Wanda nodded, smiling softly.
"I'm okay."
"That was.. Well.. there aren't really words" Somehow, He hadn't quite caught his breath, but he was smiling. "Is it always like that?"
"Well.. uh.."
Vision's face fell.
"Oh.. I'll learn to be better. You can teach me.."
"Oh no!" said Wanda quickly. "Vizh, no. It was uimitor.. Frumoasa.. You're right, there aren't really words. I just meant.." she blushed, "I wouldn't actually know if it's always like that.."
It took Vision a few moments to realise what Wanda had just admitted to, his eyes widened, mechanical irises whirring. He wasn't all that experienced with these things, but he knew that someone's first time was supposed to be special..
"Wanda.."
"Don't you dare apologise for anything" Wanda kissed Vision, gently stroking his cheek. "It was special, and beautiful, and I am so glad it was you.."
Vision's heart fluttered.
"Really?"
"Really" Wanda smiled, then curled into him, yawning. "Feeling sleepy.."
"Rest" Vision told her. "I will watch over you."
"Promise?" Her eyelids drifted shut.
"I promise."
For the first time in a very long while, Wanda Maximoff slept peacefully.
AN: For anyone interested, I'm eventually going to post an extended fluff/smut version of this chapter as a one-shot. I'm not that experienced with that so I didn't want to bump up the rating of the whole fic for it, but I wanted to have a go.
