AN: Enjoy!
After a quick stop by Wanda's apartment so she could pick up a few things, they headed back to the House. Wanda staying over at Vision's on the weekends was becoming a regular occurrence, this was the first time she was going to stay on a Weeknight, a school night for Viv. This was something they had so far avoided, but since Tomorrow was a special occasion, Vision had decided that they could make an exception.
They shared Dinner together, then Vision bathed Viv, and Wanda helped put her to bed. Then, Wanda and Vision watched TV together for a little while, snuggling on the couch and stealing the occasional kiss (She may also have allowed him a sneaky boob touch, but Vision was a gentleman, he wouldn't tell) before they headed to bed themselves.
Wanda slept in Viv's room, as had already become routine. The little girl immediately, almost instinctively, curled closer to Wanda when she quietly slipped into bed beside her. Wanda smiled softly, holding the sleeping Viv close until she drifted to sleep herself, her inner lion purring in contentment.
The following Morning, Wanda and Viv were woken by pleasant smells floating through the house.
"Ooh!" Viv grinned, jumping out of bed. "I think Daddy's making breakfast! Come on, Wanda, we have to go see!" She tugged on Wanda's hand.
"Okay, okay Fata dulce" Wanda chuckled sleepily. "Just give me a few moments to wake up.."
Viv didn't wait long until she dragged Wanda out to the Kitchen, where Vision was setting out a dish of pancakes and various toppings on the table, along with the flowers he had given Wanda the previous day to act as a centrepiece.
"You didn't burn them!" cried Viv excitedly, taking a seat at the tabl.
"Of course not" Vision smiled. "I was careful not to ruin this special Valentine's Day Breakfast for my very special Valentines." He gently ruffled Viv's hair, then pulled Wanda close for a kiss. "Happy Valentine's Day, Wanda."
"Mmm.." Wanda probably should have been worried about morning breath, but found she didn't care all that much, returning his kiss. "Happy Valentine's Day, Vizh.. This looks great."
"Thank you" Vision grinned, dishing some pancakes onto Viv's plate. "What would you like on your pancakes, Vivian?"
"Blueberries please."
"Alright. Eat up quickly so you have time to get ready for School.."
"But nu gafai.. that means don't gobble" Wanda added, channelling her own Mother without really thinking about it.
"I won't gobble" Viv promised.
Vision just smiled.
Wanda was off work that day, but Vision had to drop Viv at school, and then he had a few meetings to attend regarding possible 'The Vision' appearances, so Wanda would be left alone in the house for at least a couple of hours. She could go home, but there wasn't much point, seeing as Wanda really didn't have anything else to do, and Vision would have been picking her up again when he was done anyway.
"I should be back around lunchtime" Vision kissed Wanda's cheek as he ushered Viv out the door. "Make yourself at home, and help yourself to anything in the Kitchen.."
"Thank you" Wanda smiled.
"Bye, Wanda!" Viv waved, before Vision loaded her into the car.
"Bye, Miss Vivian" Wanda waved back. "I'll see you when you get home from School!"
She watched them until the car drove out of sight, then shut the door.
It maybe should have been a little more awkward, being left completely alone in someone else's Home, but Wanda had been here often enough to feel relatively comfortable.
Deciding to make herself useful, Wanda washed the breakfast dishes that Vision didn't have time to deal with. She made Viv's bed, and folded her pyjamas, not really noticing how maternal such duties were. Then, she fetched her bag, digging past her 'work uniform', and outfit for that night, to find the framed painting, and gift wrapping material she had tucked into the bottom.
The painting was one of Wanda's own, but it was nothing special. Just a still-life of a fruit bowl, the first piece she'd completed in her art class. Still, she hoped Vision might like seeing the results of his Christmas gift to her, so she'd framed it.
Wanda set about wrapping the painting, hoping Vision would enjoy the gift.
"Wanda, I'm back!" Vision called as he returned a few hours later. "I picked up some Chinese food for lu.." He trailed off when he saw Wanda on the couch, a nicely wrapped parcel propped up beside her.
"Hey.." She smiled rather sheepishly. "I know we said we weren't going to do gifts Today.."
Vision just smiled, setting the food aside.
"Give me a moment.." He rushed off, soon returning with a small parcel. "It's not much.." He sat beside Wanda, handing her the parcel.
"I hope not, since mine isn't either" Wanda chuckled, handing him her gift. "You first."
"Alright.." Vision smiled softly, tearing open the parcel to reveal the painting, his smile widening. "Is this one of yours?"
"It is. I just finished it in art class."
"It's wonderful!"
"It's just a fruit bowl, Vizh.." Wanda blushed.
"Still, it is wonderful. I will have to find somewhere special to put it" Vision grinned. "Open yours.."
Wanda opened her own gift, finding a framed copy of the photo Natasha had taken at Christmas, the same one that currently served as Vision's phone wallpaper.
"Vizh.." For reasons she couldn't entirely understand, Wanda felt a lump in her throat.
"I've seen you admiring it on my phone. And when I was at your apartment, I noticed you didn't have many pictures of loved ones, so I.. I thought that maybe, you might like a picture of us. If I'm wrong, if it's too much, I'm sorry, I just.. Mmm.."
Wanda cut him off with a kiss, something else that was becoming a regular occurrence.
"Don't be sorry" She smiled when she broke the kiss. "It is un cadou frumos. A beautiful gift."
"I'm glad you like it" said Vision, still in a slight happy daze from her kiss. "But I am sorry that Vivian is crashing our Valentine's date Tonight. All my usual babysitters are unavailable. Clint and Scott will be out with their own Valentines, obviously. I'd normally ask Natasha, but her sister is in town for the first time in years, so.."
"Vizh, don't be stupid. You and Viv both asked me to be your Valentine, remember?"
"It was only yesterday, so.. Yes."
"And I said yes to both of you, didn't I?"
"You did" Vision nodded, chuckling.
"So of course we're bringing her. You and Viv are a package deal, and I like your package very much.." Wanda froze, her face turning bright red. "That came out completely wrong.."
Vision blushed and smirked slightly at the same time, a strangely endearing combination. Then, having resisted for a long moment in the hope of not embarrassing Wanda further, burst out laughing.
Vision's laughter was quite a nice sound, Wanda thought. Joyous, and free of the restraint with which he often carried himself.
So, she found herself laughing with him, her head falling against his shoulder.
