AN: Enjoy!


Vision's couch wasn't the most comfortable place to sleep, and he was quite tall, so his feet dangled off the end. But, thankfully, it wasn't uncomfortable enough so as to make sleep completely impossible, and the events of that night had taken a toll, so he soon drifted off, sleeping peacefully.

Wanda slept too, although unfortunately, her own sleep was not entirely peaceful. Her sleep was fitful, marred by unpleasant dreams, but that was an every night occurrence for her. After a while, she jolted awake, sitting bolt upright. She winced as as the jolt sent a bolt of pain through her broken leg, but bit her lip to keep herself from crying out. In Wanda's world, it was dangerous to show weakness.

She looked around the apartment, truly taking stock of her surroundings for the first time. The place was nice enough, open plan and clearly only meant for one, seeing as the sleeping and living areas were in the same large room. It was not hugely fancy or overly perfect, as she might have expected from an angel.. then she saw Vision's feet poking over the end of his couch. Wanda almost laughed at the sight, but also felt a little bad for taking his bed.

Wanda got out of bed, this time remembering to try and keep her weight off of her injured leg, and hobbled over to the couch where Vision was sleeping. She'd never seen an Angel, before him, but he was pretty much exactly what she would have expected. He had no blanket, so he had folded his wings over himself for warmth as he slept.

Wanda had always wondered what it would be like to have wings, before.. she had become what she was, and even now that she could fly in her own way, she still wondered. Unable to help herself, she reached out to touch them. The feathers were wonderfully soft. Vision shivered slightly at her touch, but didn't wake, and so Wanda simply watched him for a while, as he had watched over her earlier. He was easy to watch, seeing as he was very easy on the eye. Vision's golden hair looked as soft as his wings, and she felt a desire to run her fingers through it. Seeing as her demonic nature gave her very few inhibitions about that sort of thing, she did.

This time, Vision stirred, and Wanda panicked, stumbling backwards and falling down with a thud. The sound woke Vision, and he sat up in a panic, and only panicked more when he saw her on the ground.

"What are you doing?!"

"I tripped going to the bathroom" Wanda lied, although there was a grain of truth in it.. She actually did need to go to the bathroom.

"Oh.." Vision relaxed a little, standing and offering a hand to help her up. "Here."

"I can get up myself!" Wanda snapped, her eyes flaring red, embarrassed by almost having been caught out. Unfortunately, she soon realised that since she could not bend her splinted leg, getting up herself would actually be quite a struggle.

"Good God, are you always so stubborn?" Vision frowned, a little annoyed himself. "I'm just trying to help you!"

"Fine.." Wanda took the hand that Vision offered.

Vision carefully helped her up, then pulled the young demon's arm around his shoulders so he could help her to the Bathroom.

"You know, if you don't start being more careful, your leg will never heal properly, and you'll end up stuck here forever."

"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Wanda smirked, and Vision blushed. "Sorry, couldn't resist."

Vision's blush deepened as they reached the bathroom, nudging the door open so that she could hobble inside.

"Um.. it is safe for you to use a regular toilet, right?"

"You'll be happy to know that my pipi si caca is completely normal" Wanda chuckled, pushing the door shut behind her. "You're a real worrywart, you know that?"

"Well, it's not like this is a completely normal situation.." Vision huffed.

"True.. you're not just going to stand right there the whole time, right? A little privacy would be nice."

"Right, of course.." Vision blushed again, but moved back into the living room, patiently waiting for her. When she was done, he helped her back to bed once more.

He even fluffed her pillow and tucked her in, because it seemed like the kind thing to do.

"Aww, tucking me in? You're sweet.."

"Just get some sleep" Vision mumbled. He felt like he would always be blushing as long as she was around. "You'll heal faster.."


The following morning, Wanda woke to the sound of a sizzling fry pan, before Vision presented her with a plate of eggs on toast.

"Good morning. I hope these are alright. You weren't awake to ask you how you like your eggs, so.."

"These are fine" Wanda smiled, a genuine, surprisingly sweet smile. "Thank you."

"You're welcome.." Vision's cheeks reddened once more. "I am heading out for a bit, I'll try and find you some crutches so you can get around a bit easier. Until then, try and stay off of that leg, and don't touch your bandages until I get back to change them. Feel free to turn on the Television.."

"Got it.." Wanda tucked into her Breakfast. "By the way, there's a kid who lives somewhere around here.. Peter Parker. He's a good kid, and if you happen to come across him in your travels, you should strike up a conversation. I think he might need just the kind of help that you're here to give."

"Peter Parker" Vision nodded, committing the name to memory. "I'll remember."

"One more thing.."

"Yes?"

"I've resigned myself to the fact that I might have to stay here in your lovely apartment for a while. So, I'm going to need you to promise me something."

"Uh.." Vision hesitated, nervous.

"Oh, don't worry" Wanda swallowed a mouthful of fried egg. "It's not some demonic bargain or anything, just a regular old promise."

"Alright.. what is it?"

"Just.. Don't fall in love with me."

"What?" Vision blinked.

"You heard me" said Wanda. "Don't fall in love with me. This is all complicated enough without adding feelings into it, right?"

"Uh.. right. I'll be back later.."

Vision hurriedly left the apartment, very confused.

He was an angel. Wanda was a demon. They were, quite literally, exact opposites.

Falling in love would not be a problem.

It was impossible.. wasn't it?
