AN: Enjoy!
Vision led Wanda through the streets, until they reached the doors of what seemed like a very fancy looking restaurant. As much as Wanda had dressed up for the occasion, she couldn't help feeling a little out of place.. She wasn't really used to these sort of places. She was almost expecting someone to chase her away, just like outside the Jewellery store in Novi Grad.
But Vision was so excited to be able to take her somewhere nice after having "hide away for so long, and he smiled at her, the most wonderful smile. Wanda almost instantly relaxed, and couldn't help smiling back.
"Hello" Vision greeted the young man waiting to show guests to their tables. "We have a booking under, uh, Jarvis, I think? Tony Stark sent us.."
"Of course" The young man grinned. "This way Sir, Ma'm.." He guided them to a prime table by the window, and was about to pull Wanda's seat out for her until Vision beat him to it. Wanda blushed as she sat down, and Vision, quite pleased with himself, sat across from her.
Soon, a waiter came to deliver a single menu to Wanda.
"Welcome, Mr. Jarvis. Mr. Stark let us know about your special requirements, no one will bother you. Will the lady have anything to drink?"
"Just a lemonade, please."
"Of course. I will be back in a minute to take your order." The waiter hurried off.
"So.." Wanda looked around, "Tony got you the reservation?"
"Yes" Vision nodded, reaching across the table to hold Wanda's hand. "I believe he is still.."
"Sugereaza?"
"Just a bit" Vision chuckled.
"Well, he knows how to suck up, I will give him that."
"He has had a lot of practice with Miss Potts."
"I imagine he has." The waiter returned with Wanda's drink, and she ordered the pasta special. "Are you alright with all this, Vizh?"
"Of course" While he had occasionally felt awkward about not being able to eat when he sat in restaurants with Wanda in the past, he had gotten over those hang ups. "I like watching you enjoy."
"You do?" Wanda blushed.
"I do" Vision smiled softly. "Besides, now that we are no longer on the run.."
"You were never on the run, Vizh.. Not officially, anyway."
"True. Happy circumstances arose that meant I never had to use my 'Diplomatic trip to Wakanda' as cover for running away with you and the boys. My point is, now that neither of us are on the run, it does not matter quite so much if my not eating attracts attention."
"That is true" Wanda smiled.
Vision watched Wanda with loving eyes as she ate. While someone making goo-goo eyes at you while you ate should have been awkward, somehow, with Vision, it never had been. She gazed back at him with a fond expression.
"You really do like watching me enjoy things, don't you?"
"I do. I like seeing you happy. You deserve to be happy, after everything you have been through.."
"You make me happy, Vizh. You have for a long time. Even before we were 'we'."
"You taught me what happy feels like" Vision smiled. "I wasn't entirely sure for a while."
"Well" Wanda grinned, leaning across the table to kiss him, "That is a wonderful thing to have taught someone.."
"It is" Vision leaned in to meet her, but became distracted by events transpiring a few tables over.
A young man seemed to be proposing to his girlfriend. And unfortunately for the poor fellow, she appeared to be refusing his proposal.
Watching the scene unfold, Vision's disguised face grew a little pale.
"Vizh.." Wanda squeezed his hand. "Are you alright?"
"Oh, yes.. I'm fine.. Perfectly fine" He finished leaning in, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. "Just feeling a little sorry for that poor fellow a few tables over."
"Ooh.. yes, that would be teribil."
As they left the restaurant a short while later, Vision couldn't help becoming lost in thought. In his tentative, very early stage proposal planning so far, he hadn't really considered the possibility that Wanda might say no.
And with that possibility, small though it might be, a few of his old insecurities began to creep in. Because what if, for some reason- not that he could think of one, but that didn't mean there wasn't one- what if Wanda did say no?
What if she didn't want to marry him?
Maybe he was moving too fast. Maybe she wasn't ready..
Wanda looked up at him, frowning.
"Vision.."
"Yes, Wanda?" He jumped, snapping out of his thoughts. "What is it?"
"You tell me. You are clearly worried about something."
"No I'm not" Vision lied.
"Yes you are" Wanda crossed her arms, then glanced back towards the restaurant, then thought of their earlier discussion in front of the jewelry store. "You're thinking about that baiat sarac who had his proposal rejected."
"Well.." Before Vision could say anymore, Wanda dragged him out of sight between the restaurant and its neighboring building.
"Phase us" She instructed him, taking both of his hands in hers.
Vision did so, then Wanda began to fly upwards, and Vision flew with her. They flew higher and higher, above the tall buildings, above the city lights, and higher still. Eventually, they were high enough up that it would have been very difficult for anyone to see them, so Vision stopped phasing.
"Wanda, why.."
"Shh" Wanda smiled at him, her soft green eyes sparkling, and Vision felt his synthetic heart flutter. "I'm going to tell you a secret, Vizh. A lot of people would say I shouldn't.. that I should keep you on your toes or something, but I've never really cared too much about what other people say I should do. So, I'm going to tell you anyway.."
"Okay.."
"Good.." Wanda leaned in to whisper in his ear. "My secret is.. I'm going to say yes."
"W-What?" Vision blinked.
"You know what I'm talking about. Whenever you ask.. however you ask.. I'm going to say yes. So, go ahead and keep planning whatever I'm sure you're planning in that wonderful head of yours. And do it with one less thing to worry about."
A large smile slowly spread over Vision's face.
"I will.."
"Good." Wanda wrapped her arms around him and kissed him deeply. "Happy Anniversary, Vizh."
He returned her kiss as they hovered there together, the lights twinkling below them.
"Happy Anniversary, Wanda."
