Falling for a Maximoff

Chapter 18: Cute moments

Pov y/n

On my way down to Wanda I think about the talk with my mom earlier today. Of course, she noticed my tiredness, she's an ex-assassin and super observant, plus she's my mom and mom's seems to have a sense for that.

I'm glad she was so calm about it though. She could have been mad because I stayed up to late but she wasn't. She was just worried.
It's cute how supportive she was about me might having a gender crisis, I really appreciate her openness about this. Coming out to her was easy because she always assured me, she loved me unconditionally and I never had to fear she wouldn't love me because of my sexuality.

I arrive at the door of Wanda's cell and knock, announcing myself verbally too. She opens the door and we hug each other in greeting. It feels so nice to be hugged by her, my whole body fills with excitement and a certain warmth. I feel safe in her arms, even though I've known her for a week or so. She let's go of me and smiles.

"How are you, sunshine?" She asks and I look at her, confused about the name. I mean I like it but it's new. She blushes as she realizes what she just said and bites her lip.
"I'm sorry, it just...slipped. Because I don't really have a window down here and I don't see the real sun but you brighten up my day every time you visit." She rambles cutely and I set my bag down and wrap my arms around her carefully. Her eyes flicker to mine and she searches for any sign of dislike in them.

"Don't be sorry for that, I like it and I'm happy and honored to brighten up your day." I assure her and feel her body relax in my arms. She rests her arms on my shoulders.
"Okay good. Because I was scared for a second that it would be weird because it just slipped." She explains and I brush some hair out of her face, which calms her down even more and she just looks at me now.

"You brighten my day up, too. I look forward to the nights and to spend time with you." I admit and blush now myself. Her eyes sparkle at the compliment and it's so cute. I gaze into her eyes and get lost in the green, I could stare into them forever.
A soft hand on my cheek pulls me out of my gaze and I smile at the contact and notice that her eyes are also focused on mine.

"Kiss me, please." She whispers into the small space between us and I smile.
"It would be my pleasure." I answer and she lets out a cute giggle before our lips connect. The kiss is soft and slow, but also a little shy. It's still new and we are carefully trying to figure out what the other person likes.

When we pull away, she scrunches her nose up in happiness and I literally melt at that sight. I lean a little forward and kiss the tip of her nose, which makes it scrunch up again, it's adorable.
"So what did you bring today?" She asks and her eyes wander to the bag I had with me. I let go of her to grab the bag.
"Since you liked that game yesterday so much, I brought it again and I plan on winning today." A soft smile is on her lips as she watches me getting the game out of the bag.
"And I also brought a new game that I thought we might could try." I explain and pull out the other game. She nods excitedly and we sit on the ground to prepare the first game.

While we play, we talk a bit about our days and she tells me that she had a talk with Steve today.
They got her out of her cell and brought her into some room so they could talk. It was basically just him asking her some questions and trying to see if she was dangerous. He's a bit more optimistic now but still careful.
I remember the scene I watched in the news where Wanda's power split a robot into pieces and if that's the reason why the Avengers think she might be a threat, but I don't ask about it further.

I tell her about the talk I had with my mom and how I kinda got around telling her why I'm actually staying up late. Mom wasn't happy about the lie I tried to sell at first, which I get since I know she values honesty and I feel bad for lying to her. It also made my conscious feel bad because I'm practically lying to her every day. Well, not exactly but I'm keeping something from her. It's not because I want to disobey, I just love spending time with Wanda and I know mom doesn't want me to.
She's very protective over me but this time she was wrong because Wanda isn't a threat to me or the other Avengers.

Wanda listens to me talking and when she responds, it sounds like she feels a little guilty for keeping me up and maybe causing trouble. I assure her that it's not her fault at all and that it's my own choice and I do it because I really like the hours with her. That seems to ease her a little and a few minutes later, she giggles again over a dumb joke I cracked.

We spend the spend the rest of the night playing and talking about random things. It's so nice and calm.
When it gets a little later, close to the time where I should go up again, we sit on the bed and have a moment, looking at each other, before our lips meet. We kiss a little while before I say good night and we hug before I head upstairs.

The following week goes by quickly. I'm still tired every morning but Wanda and I decided on a time where I go upstairs again so I'm not too tired the next morning.
It kind of works, at least I'm not as tired as I was the week before. Mom seems to notice that too and is relieved about that. She still asks if everything is okay daily, which I reply with a 'yes' to.
Since I worked hard the last week, I'm pretty much caught up on the school stuff and do my best to stay concentrated in class and not zone out and think about Wanda. It works most of the time but I still think about her multiple times.

My friends have also picked up on my behavior and asked about it. I told them I'm fine and somehow they figured out that my slight change has to do with a girl and are asking about it a lot. Most of the time I answer vaguely, keeping to myself who it is and what exactly I feel. Honestly, that's partly because I'm not sure myself how I feel about Wanda.
I know I have a crush on her and that I'm attracted to her, not just physically. I'm trying to figure out my further feelings for her at the moment.

Am I falling for her? Or do I already love her? But that would be pretty quick...
It's not easy figuring it out but I know for sure that I like the happiness she brings me just by looking at me.

To draw less attention to my tiredness, I trained with my mom two times this week. One time we trained my fighting skills and the other my shooting with bow and arrow skills. It was so much fun but also exhausting. On those days Wanda and I had a calm time and decided to watch something on her TV. She showed me one of her favorite sitcoms while we sat on her bad. With every episode, we scootched closer together until we were cuddling and it's great. I love cuddling with her.

On the other days, I worked on my little shed in the woods and it's coming along pretty good. There's just one wall left for it to be a room, well and a roof but I'm working on that.
One time, when I got back from the forest, mom asked me where I was and I told her that I was exploring the forest. I kinda wanna keep the spot to myself, it feels special to me. She was happy I enjoyed the surroundings but told me to be careful because of wild animals.

It's Saturday again and I spent the morning until lunch in the woods, building my shed.
After lunch Steve offered to train with me since mom had a meeting. I agreed because I kinda like that training, I get some energy out and when I fight with Steve, he sometimes lets me try to push him over without fighting back. It's fun and I never succeeded but one day I will, I hope.

Today's training is exhausting though because he has his fun, letting me do push-ups, for which I glare at him.
After some warming up, he gave me a little break before we started practicing some punches. My arms feel like jelly after our session and I'm glad when I get into the shower before dinner. Mom smiles when I tell her about my day and asks if I want to join her on her run tomorrow morning. I don't know what rides me but I agree, maybe because I lowkey wanna proof to her that I'm not staying up too late and that everything is fine.

Wanda listens to me talk about my day while she's sitting on her bed, leaning against the wall. My head is in her lap and she plays with my hair. Her attentive eyes are focused on me or her fingers and she smiles at my report about my day.
I love that she lets me tell her in detail and that she doesn't seem annoyed by it.

We watch some TV after we talked some more because I'm to exhausted to play any games.
We end up laying in her bed, cuddling while watching the sitcom. Her arms are wrapped around me and she keeps me close to her. My back is against her front and our fingers are intertwined.
From time to time she places soft kisses on my neck and I giggle a little when she starts sucking lightly.

It's very calm and my eyelids start to get a little heavy. It's just so comfortable, laying in her arms and having her close by me, watching something. She lets one of my hands go to start playing with my hair. It adds to the comfort and lulls me to sleep. The last thing I think about is that I wish I could have this every day, before I drift off to sleep.

A/n: A few cute moments between us and Wanda and kind of a filler chapter.
Let's hope our sleep doesn't get interrupted XD
Thanks for reading and love to you all <3
