AN: Enjoy!

Wanda and Vision remained tangled in each other's arms for a while, stealing lazy kisses and shy touches, until Vision caught sight of the time and jumped up, slightly panicked.

"Oh gosh, Vivian will be home from school soon.."

"Right.." Wanda blushed brightly, getting up to search for her clothes. "I guess I'd better go, then.."

"Oh no, I didn't mean that at all!" Said Vision quickly, tugging on his trousers. "You can stay as long as you like."

"Really?"

"Of course. Viv knows that we are friends, and that you and I were going to spend the day together Today. However.."

"Best if we're not naked when she gets here" Wanda chuckled, relaxing a little.

"Yes, exactly" Vision smiled.

"Okay, one not-naked Wanda coming right up.. Uh, do you know where my bra went?"

"Um.. oh there it is, on the lamp. Have you seen my shirt?"

"In the corner, over there.. My skirt?"

"Oh, uh.. Just there, at the foot of the bed. Do you happen to remember where we left my glasses?"

"I think they're out in the living room.."

Wanda and Vision managed to locate their clothes, and get themselves dressed and presentable just in time for Viv's return. Vision made fresh cups of tea, Wanda switched on the Television, and the pair parked themselves on the couch just as Viv walked through the door.

"Hello, Vivian" Vision smiled just a little too widely. "How was School?"

"Uh.. alright, I guess.. Hi, Wanda."

"Hi, Viv.." Wanda almost squeaked.

"So.." Viv raised an eyebrow at them, "How was the picnic?"

"Oh, it was lovely. Perfect day for it." Vision's too large smile remained in place.

"Okay.." Viv hitched her bag a little higher on her shoulder. "I'll just.. Go put my bag away.."

As soon as Viv was out of sight and out of earshot, Wanda gently elbowed Vision.

"Nice job at not being suspicious, Vizh. She won't suspect a thing."

"You weren't that much better" Vision pointed out. "What was that squeak in your voice about?"

They both stared at each other accusingly for a few moments, before immediately bursting into fits of laughter.

"We are absolutely horrible at keeping secrets" said Wanda through giggles, taking a moment to safely plant a quick kiss on Vision's cheek in Viv's absence.

"We are" Vision chuckled, then added, quietly, "It probably wouldn't bother her too much, knowing about us.. Before Vin died, he and Viv were often encouraging me to, uh, find someone. But she has been through so much recently, and we are still so.."

"I know" Wanda squeezed his hand. "We're in a new phase of this, still working things out. You don't want to risk changing her life again until you know where we're going."

"Exactly. Thank you for understanding. Still.." Vision kissed Wanda's fingers, "Vivian does like you."

"Well, that's good to know" Wanda blushed. "I like her too, she's a very sweet girl.."

Viv returned to fetch herself a snack, then retreated back to her room to do some homework.

Wanda and Vision chatted away in the meantime, about her work, and his. Little memories of Pietro or Vin, because neither minded, or felt awkward or uncomfortable, if the other felt the need to shed a few tears over their lost loved one. When Wanda had a little cry, over the mail addressed to Pietro that still occasionally arrived at her apartment, Vision simply listened, and held her, knowing that she would do the same for him if the need ever arose.

Soon, Wanda pointed out that it was probably time for her to be getting home.

"Are you sure?" Vision frowned. "I don't feel right about you leaving when you are this upset."

"I'm not really that upset" Wanda wiped her eyes. "This is like.. normal background levels of sad for me right now."

"Well, I drove you here. At least let me give you a lift home.."

"No, it's okay. I'll just get a cab, or an Uber. You should stay here with Viv.."

"Viv is Thirteen. She'll be fine alone for a quarter of an hour while I drive you.."

At that moment, Viv re-emerged. Wanda scrubbed at her eyes again, but it was still clear that she had been recently crying. Viv, glancing between Wanda and Vision, very kindly didn't mention this.

"Is Wanda staying for dinner?" she asked.

"Well" said Vision pointedly, "She can, if she likes."

"Oh, I probably shouldn't.." Wanda smiled awkwardly at Viv. "I wouldn't want to put any extra pressure on your Dad, cooking for an extra person.."

"Well, that won't be a problem" Vision grinned what seemed, for him, a rather cheeky grin.

"Yeah" added Viv, nodding. "It's Pizza night. Or any kind of take-out, but usually Pizza. If we have a guest it's their choice, but we haven't had a guest in a while. Dad definitely hasn't, so it's really nice for him to have a friend around. If you stay, you get to choose the dinner, so.. Will you stay?"

Well, Wanda noted, it seemed Viv was a rambler, just like her Father. She looked so hopeful, and Vision did too, matching sets of blue eyes gazing at her, and Wanda's heart warmed.

How could she tell them 'no'?

"Well, if you and your Dad are really okay with it, of course I'll stay" Wanda smiled. "And now that you've mentioned it, Pizza sounds really good."

"Brilliant!" Vision grinned, getting up. "I'll go fetch the menu.."

And so, they ordered Pizza, and ate together in front of the TV, happily chatting away as they did. Viv talked about her day at School, and Wanda kindly listened to every word. Vision watched them, feeling a strange, but pleasant tug at his heart.

When they were done with dinner, Vision insisted on driving Wanda home.

"Thanks, Vizh.." Wanda smiled when he let her out of the car at her apartment block. "I had a nice time today, even with the little teary moment in the middle.."

"As did I.." Vision stole a quick kiss. "Let me know when you have a date for your Foster brother's party.."

"You really don't have to come.."

"Ah, but I do, because I promised I would" said Vision. "So now I am going to nag you daily so you do not conveniently 'forget' to tell me about it and have to handle it yourself.."

"You.. are adorable" Wanda chuckled, returning his kiss.

"Thank you" Vision blushed. "So.. I'll see you at grief group?"

"Mmhm."

"And maybe one day we can catch up for lunch?"

"Sounds good to me" Wanda stole another kiss, then headed inside. "Call me when you're home safe, okay?"

"Will do" Vision grinned.

Both headed home with a spring in their step, of a kind that had not been there in quite a while.
