AN: Enjoy!
As perfect as the moment had been, there was no avoiding the usual post-coital awkwardness. Getting rid of the condom, going to the bathroom.. But after that was done, Wanda and Vision slipped back into bed together. Still nude, both because the night was warm enough for such a thing, and they liked the simple intimacy of it.
Wanda, quite used to men simply rolling over and falling asleep when the deed was done, was almost startled when Vision moved to wrap his arms around her. She shivered at the contact, but it was a pleasant shiver.
"Are you alright, Wanda?" Vision asked her, concerned. "Are you cold? I'll go fetch another blanket.."
"No" Wanda held onto her Boyfriend.. Lover, now, she thought, blushing.. to keep him from going anywhere. "I'm okay. I'm just.. not used to being held, after. This is nice."
Vision frowned a little at that. Who in their right mind would not want to hold her?
"I will always want to hold you."
"That's nice to know" Wanda smiled softly, nuzzling deeper into his chest.
"I'm glad you think so." He seemed happy, but still slightly nervous at the same time. "And the rest of it.. that was nice too? I mean, was it good for you? Because it was for me, but I really don't have a lot of experience, so I'm probably not the best person to jud.."
"Shh.." Wanda giggled, making Vision's heart flutter, pressing a finger to his lips to silence him. "You don't have to worry, Vizh. That was better than good. It was uimitor.. Amazing, actually."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Well, that's good."
"It is."
Vision was even happier then, maybe a little giddy, even, but that was fine, because Wanda was too. So happy.
"Oh!" Vision suddenly sat up, digging in his drawer. "I have something for you. I bought it a few weeks back, but I forgot.." He handed her a small box adorned with a the logo of a local jewellery store Wanda recognised.
"Vizh.." She frowned slightly as she sat up, clutching the sheets to her chest, "You didn't have to get me anything."
"Of course I did. It's your Birthday" Vision replied.
"But jewellery is.."
"Don't worry about that. I've been able to work more since Viv started school, so I have a bit more put away for special occasions." He pushed the box into Wanda's hands. "Open it."
Knowing that Vision wasn't going to take no for an answer, Wanda carefully opened the box. Laying inside, on a delicate chain, was a small pendant, a shining red stone set in it's centre.
"Vizh.." Wanda felt a lump in her throat. She couldn't remember the last time someone had given her such a gift.. Actually, the answer was probably never.
"Do you like it?" Vision asked, nervous, but hopeful. "I Don't really buy jewellery much, obviously, but red is your colour.."
"It is. It's beautiful Vizh, Thank you" Wanda smiled softly, carefully lifting the chain from the box. "Will you help me put it on?"
"Of course" Vision returned her smile as he took the piece of jewellery, finding the clasp. "Turn around for a moment, and could you hold your hair out of the way, please?"
"Mmhm.." Wanda turned and swept her hair back, allowing Vision to clasp the chain and pendant around her neck, then turned back again to face him. The sheet concealing her slipped a little, but Vision, still ever the gentleman, managed to keep his eyes on the pendant rather than anything else, though a faint blush coloured his cheeks. "How does it look?"
"Beautiful. Almost as beautiful as you are."
"Oh.. Thank you" Wanda blushed herself, still not entirely used to the compliment, then yawned, settling back down into the bed.
"It is getting late. We should rest." Vision lay back down beside Wanda, wrapping his arms around her once more.
"We should." This time, Wanda calmly accepted his embrace, snuggling close to his chest. "Goodnight, Vizh."
"Goodnight, Wanda" Vision pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Happy Birthday."
"Mmm.." A soft smile spread over Wanda's face as she drifted off to sleep. "It was happy.."
They made love for the second time the following morning, making the most of the alone time that remained to them.
They shared a shower. Stole a few kisses. Gently washed each others hair, and other places, which in a way, was even more intimate than sex. But Wanda and Vision trusted each other, probably more than either one of them had ever trusted another person, and so it all felt okay.
And then Vision, still her perfect gentleman, always her perfect gentleman, set about making Wanda Breakfast. Or at least, he tried, but Wanda, giggling, had been forced to intervene half way through to avoid a burnt disaster.
"I'm sorry" Vision had blushed, rather embarrassed, as he watched Wanda dish up breakfast for both of them. "I swear, I only looked away for a second.."
"It's okay, Vizh" Wanda chuckled, kissing his cheek. "You tried. That's more than any other guy has ever done for me. And this, me helping.. it's nice. It feels.. ca noi. Like us."
"Mmm.." Vision smiled at the kiss. "You are right, Wanda. It feels very like us."
After breakfast, the two of them spent a while cuddling on the couch, stealing lazy kisses, until it was time for them to pick up Viv from Scott's place.
As a treat, they took the little girl to get McDonalds for lunch.
Viv stared at Wanda and Vision as she ate.
"Is something wrong, Fata dulce?" Wanda asked her.
"I don't think so.." Viv frowned. "Just.. something seems different."
"Different?" Vision frowned.
"Yeah."
"How?"
"I don't know.." said Viv, before she suddenly gasped. "Wanda!"
"What?" Wanda jumped.
"You gots a boo-boo like Daddy had when I came back from Grandma and Grandpa's!"
"Oh" Wanda blushed, but smirked slightly at the same time. "That's strange, isn't it Vizh?"
Vision almost choked on a mouthful of fries, his mind inadvertently flashing back to the previous night, but quickly recovered.
"Yes.. that's.. very strange."
"Will your boo-boo be better soon, Wanda?" Viv asked innocently.
"I'm sure it will" Wanda chuckled.
