"I like you"

Vision was taken aback, he had watched the struggle that Wanda was going through, he imagined that she had most likely argued with her brother, or god forbid something terrible had happened.

He didnt expect this, She likes him?

He noted her anxiety, he knew from previous occasions that she appeared to have some difficulties with her anxiety and possible mental health, he couldnt help but notice how haggard she appeared, her eyes were dark and her cheeks were slightly drawn in, she had been working herself into a stupor, and now she was agonising herself over him.

She deserved so much better.

He stood and walked towards her

I cant love you

He mused to himself but his body was now moving instinctively

He placed a hand on her shoulder and placed his other hand beneath her chin, forcing her face to meet his.

Her eyes were full of sorrow and dread, those beautiful emerald pools were fearful, she feared the rejection and the consequences of her confession.

Wanda had been bearing a hole into the ground within her mind as she refused to meet Visions eyes after she spoke the words, she noted that he was silent and a lump appeared in her throat,

rejection

It was coming, she could feel it, she built the walls again, she needed to build them for her own safety, she closed her eyes as she forced her mind to her heart, speaking to soothe it, to calm it.

A hand touched her shoulders and she was pulled from her thoughts, her face was pulled up and she met his gaze.

His eyes were bright, the morning blue sky colour of his eyes were full of an emotion that Wanda couldn't quite place, she swallowed the lump in her throat and began to speak but was cut off.

"Why do you like me?"

Vision asked, his voice was low and his emotion was unreadable.

Wanda inhaled, plucking at any courage that she had left to give and spoke.

"I dont know, I feel drawn to you.. things seem to.. fit.. I suppose, whenever your around.."

She told the truth, she didnt know why, she just did.

Vision watched as she replied and the brick and steel wall that he had built around his wounded heart crumbled, he knelt down to his knees, his breath catching as he kept his gaze on Wanda.

She too was now beginning to hold a breath as the distance between them began to diminish.

Inches turned to centimetres and then to millimetres.

Buzz Buzz Buzz.

Vision drew back as his phone was ringing in his pocket, he looked to the number, then back to Wanda.

"I have to take this"

Wanda nodded and he got up and left for his bedroom, he answered.

"Erm.. Hello?... hey.."

He closed the door behind him and Wanda could no longer hear him.

Wanda sat there alone for what felt like an hour, her anxiety had finally left but the feeling of something else was steeping into her mind.

Lizzie

she thought as she looked over to the closed door, ofcourse it was her.

Vision had answered the phone and to his surprise it was Lizzie, the woman that broke his heart and left him.

He smiled while they spoke, he asked how she had been, how shes enjoying England and then finally why was she phoning him.

"I miss you"

the reply fell on deaf ears as his walls were now reinstalled, the steel now evolved into vibranium, ensuring the walls were to never falter.

"You left me, it's been three years.. I.. "

he hesitated, he was ready to say that he was over love, that he would not waste his time, but then thought back to Wanda, the woman who he had left in the other room, he walked over and opened the door, looking to Wanda who appeared to be ready to leave, he smiled softly toward her as he spoke to Lizzie

"I've finally moved on.. I hope you enjoy your stay here Lizzie.. Goodbye"

he hung up and walked over to Wanda who was now blushing bright scarlet.

"Were you just about to leave?"

he asked, his voice sounding panicked by the thought.

Wanda was once again gobsmacked as she watched Vision

had she heard right?

Was she dreaming?

She looked around her feet, noting that she had stood up to leave as her mind made her believe that Vision had made up with Lizzie and had completely forgotten her existence.

"I-I thought that maybe you.." her voice trailed off.

Vision took her hand, causing Wanda to gaze up at him, her breath caught as they gazed at each other and once again

inches turned to centimetres and centimetres turned to millimetres as Vision closed the distance between them, Wanda closed her eyes as his lips grazed gently against hers.

It was most certainly not the sort of first kiss that girls dream about, Wanda Maximoff was wearing a suit, she looked like a zombie and her hair made her look like Miss Trunchbull from Matilda.

But having a first kiss with Vision was magical, he was soft, warm and every touch was loving, she could melt under his touch.

And then they broke apart, each panting as their eyes darkened, cheeks flushed and thoughts of each other consumed their minds.

"I think.. we should.. take it slow..?" Vision spoke up between breaths and Wanda nodded in agreement.

This would be day one of many.

Vision dropped Wanda off at the hotel and she hesitantly kissed his cheek as they said their goodbyes.

Once his car turned the corner, she turned and headed to the hotel and then to the elevator, her brother and Natasha were most probably still at the charity event and she was now self conscious over her outfit, feeling a suit was not something that somebody in a relationship with a tall, fair haired and dashingly handsome man would wear.

Pietro and Natasha entered the hotel suite giggling like teenagers.

Wanda watched them from the table where she sat eating some paprikash and eyed them with a smile on her face.

Natasha noticed the younger Maximoff and glided over to her, a smile spread across her lips as she spoke

"So how did it go?"

Wanda blushed and lowered her head as she spoke

"It went.. well"

Natasha nodded, she noted how Wanda had recently washed, her cheeks were looking more plump and her demeanor was much more lively, she smiled toward the younger twin that was eating a spoonful of the dish.

Pietro overhearing the conversation strolled up and raised a brow toward Natasha

"I'm sorry, but what are we discussing?"

He took Wanda's spoon and began helping himself to her food, causing Wanda fo frown.

Natasha smirked and snatched the spoon from him, seductively playing her finger with his tie, she looked at him with darkened eyes as she whispered in his ear

"I think I need to lay down..."

Pietro gulped and without another word, led her toward his bedroom.

Wanda groaned as she realised that she didnt want to be around when her brother and Natasha got into it.

She stood and eyed her phone, hesitating but her resolve stood firm as she finally called Vision.

Vision answered instantly

"Hello Wanda, are you ok?"

She smiled instantly from hearing his voice

"Yes.. I.. I was just wondering if you were.. busy?"

It had only been a few hours since they last saw each other, so she was understanding if he was actually busy or if he just wanted to be alone.

"I am on my way home so I'll come and get you now"

And with that he hung up.
