AN: Enjoy!


As time went on, Vision began to think that maybe he should move, but the sleeping Wanda whined in protest whenever he tried, either to move himself, or move to carry her back to bed.

She seemed so comfortable, and Vision couldn't bear to wake her. So, eventually, he let himself drift off to sleep on the couch beside Wanda, his wing still draped over her.


The following morning, Vision woke with a start, panicking when he saw the time. He got up so fast that he nearly tipped poor Wanda right off the couch.

"Oi!" the Demon snapped.

"Sorry!" Vision quickly apologised. "But I don't want to be late for my new job on day one.."

Vision rushed off to get himself ready.

Wanda shivered a little, pulling a nearby blanket around herself. It wasn't cold without him, and she was not upset by the loss of his presence. Not at all.


"How do I look?"

A short while later, Vision rushed out in an old grey suit, with his hair combed nicely, and wearing a pair of glasses.

"Hmm.." Wanda looked him over, raising an eyebrow. "Sexy, in a nerdy sort of way.."

"Oh.." Vision blushed. "Um.. not too sexy for a school setting?"

"Not at all.. you look perfectly respectable."

"Good. That's good.."

"Fair warning though, ingerul meu.." Wanda smirked, "Looking respectable won't storm hormonal teenage girls, and probably a few boys, too, from undressing you with their eyes.. The cool ones won't admit it, but a lot of girls are actually into sweet nerdy guys.."

"What?" Vision jumped. "B-But I'm a grown man.. Their librarian.. An authority figure!"

"And therein lies the appeal" Wanda waggled her eyebrows. "You're unattainable, and that makes you a great target for fantaziille sexuale.. That means sexual fantasies, in case you couldn't work that out.."

"Stop it!" Vision huffed, preparing to leave. He'd been almost looking forward to his first day working at Peter's school. Now he was stressed. "Honestly, do you have to turn absolutely everything into something naughty?"

"Well, I am a demon, so yeah."

"Well, maybe you could tone it down a little bit where my job is concerned." He headed for the door.

"Hey, Vision.."

"What?" He snapped."

Wanda jumped, not used to the harsh tone from him.

"Just.. be careful out there.." The red flicker of demonic mischief in her eyes had faded, leaving the more human green once again. "Mysterio could be lurking.."

"Oh.." Vision immediately softened. "Yes, I'll be careful. See you later then?"

"Yeah.. I guess.."

"I'll be back a little after four.."

"I'll be here.." Wanda mumbled. "It's not like I have anywhere else to go.."


Vision made it to work on time, but spent most of his first day, in between finding things for students or Teachers, feeling guilty over what had transpired with Wanda that morning.

He hadn't meant to frighten Wanda, or upset her at all. He had been frustrated, yes, but she was only doing what it was in her nature as a demon to do. She couldn't help it, and it was unfair of him to be upset with her over it. Maybe, Vision thought, he should do something nice to make it up to her. But what?

Towards the end of the day, after the final bell had rung, but before the Library was officially closed for the day, Peter dropped by to borrow some science equipment. And while it may have been very unprofessional of him, Vision raised the subject of how to cheer up a girl.

"Gee, Sir, I'm probably not a great person to ask.." Peter awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. "I've never had a real Girlfriend before.. Uh, you could try buying her ice cream?"

"Ice cream?"

"Yeah.. probably one of the ones with cookie dough."

"Ice cream.. Cookie dough" Vision nodded. "Right, thank you."


After leaving the School, Vision took a detour to the store. Unfortunately, he had no way to let Wanda know this.

'A little after four', when Vision had said he'd be home, soon became 'a little before five'.

Wanda tried very hard to keep her eyes off the clock. She wasn't worried about Vision. Not at all. She didn't care if Mysterio had got hold of him.

She didn't even really like him, much. He probably didn't like her, either. She was a good deed to check off his list. Maybe a way to get his little Angel cherry popped. Nothing more.

'A little before five' became 'Five'.

But Wanda definitely wasn't panicking. And she definitely wasn't relieved when Vision finally walked through the door a few minutes later.

"Where were you?" she asked, trying to sound nonchalant. "You said you'd be home just after four.."

"I know.." said Vision, "But I felt bad about scaring you this morning.."

"You didn't scare me.." Wanda frowned, turning to look at him. For the moment, her eyes remained green, and she hoped they didn't show that she had in fact been afraid, not of him, but for him. "I'm part of a world where you're lucky if a disagreement doesn't end up with somebody injured or dead. A raised voice doesn't phase me.."

"Still, I felt bad.. So I got you something."

"What?"

"Ice cream"

"The kind with the little cookie dough chunks in it?" Wanda's eyes lit up.

"That's what was recommended, yes" Vision nodded.

"Gimme."

"The whole pint?"

"Yes, the whole pint."

"Alright then.." Vision fetched a spoon from the kitchen, then handed it and the tub of ice cream to Wanda.

"Mmm.." Wanda eagerly dug in. "This is my favourite.."

"Is it good?" Asked Vision. "I've never tried it.."

"Oh? Come here, then.." Wanda grabbed Vision by his tie, pulling him down into a kiss to let him taste the ice cream on her lips. "You like?"

"Uh.. yes.." Vision nodded, a little dazed.

"Then grab a spoon and come share with me."

"Okay.."

Vision heard Wanda laugh as he rushed off back to the kitchen, the sound making his heart skip a beat. He wasn't falling in love with her, definitely not. But he was glad that she wasn't upset with him.
