Falling for a Maximoff

Chapter 22: Cute forest moments

Pov y/n

After I woke up the next morning and got ready for the day, I open my door and almost trip over a stack of two books. These were the last ones that I lent Wanda.
I smile and pick them up to bring them to my shelf. A few little notes fall out and my heart starts to beat faster when I see Wanda's writing. She has a beautiful handwriting.

I pick the notes up and start reading them. A few are just comments on the books and what she thought about them but two are personal notes.

1st note: Thank you for lending me your books, I loved reading them and I would like to read more of them, if you would want to lend me some more because you have a great taste in books <3
2nd note: I know we didn't get to talk a lot the past few days but I thought of you while reading these and it always made me smile :D

A warm, happy feeling fills my stomach and I read the notes over and over again before I stick them into a picture frame so I can look at them every day.
The others I sort after books to put them in the book. I notice one note more and when I look at it, a wide smile appears on my face.

There is a sun drawn in the middle and beneath it, she wrote: Remember to smile, sunshine <3

She's such an adorable human being!
I put the note with the sun in my jeans pocket to carry it with me and put it into my phone case later. Then I head out to meet my mom for a quick training.

After I rinse off, I head outside to finish my shed today.
When I get to the beginning of the forest, I hear something and quickly turn around, getting ready to defend myself.
Wanda appears from between the bushes and smiles at me and I relax and grin at my reaction.

"What are you doing here?" I ask a bit confused while I watch her approach me.
"Well, you said you like the forest so I wanted to see for myself." She explains and smiles at me.
"How do you like it so far?"
"It's nice but I wasn't in deep because I don't wanna get lost." She admits and I chuckle a bit.
"That's understandable. Maybe I can keep you company, so you don't get lost?" I offer and she nods enthusiastically.

We make our way through the woods and I subconsciously walk towards my shed.
"But couldn't you get out of the forest with the help of your wiggly-woos?" I think out loud and she tilts her head in confusion.
"My what?"
"Your wiggly-woos...ehm, magic hands I mean." I correct myself, too distracted by her grin.
"I don't know if my magic could help me find a way out." She shrugs and I hum in response.

"So, wiggly-woos?" She teases after a few quiet minutes of walking.
"You know what I meant, I was just not thinking for a second." I defend myself and join in as she laughs.
"Sure, sure."
I grin at her and nudge her shoulder a little. "I mean you can be my wiggly-woo from now on, if you want to." I tease and she shakes her head with a laugh.
"What even is that?" She asks.
"I don't know, the movement you do with your fingers when you do magic and the red glowy strings that your magic are." I try to explain. She nods with a grin and I roll my eyes playfully at her.

After a few more minutes of silent walking, we arrive at my space and I feel myself getting a little nervous, worried she might think it's dumb. But she looks at my construction interestedly and walks around it.
"Did you built that all by yourself?" She asks with an impressed look on her face.
I nod and fiddle with my fingers while her eyes are on me.

"That's really impressive, sunshine." She compliments and my heart skips a beat at the casually used name.
I smile a little shyly, feeling somehow vulnerable for showing her my safe space. She seems to notice and comes closer to me and takes my fiddling hands in hers.
"It's okay, don't worry, I really like it. You picked a great place and the little shed is amazing." She assures me and my heart warms up at her words.

"Thank you." I whisper and we lock eyes for a few seconds before they close as our lips meet.
The butterflies go crazy and it feels so good to feel her soft lips on mine again after the past few weeks.

"Is it completely ready yet?" She asks after we pull away and I need a second to remember that we're in the woods.
"Not quite. I need to work on the roof a bit more so it doesn't let water through." I tell her and when she shows interest, I explain how I'm gonna achieve that and she helps me. It's fun to do this with her and we laugh a lot. When it's done, we look at it proudly and I think we did a great job.

We sit down on a log in silence and I look up at the sky between the leaves.
"Sadly the sun isn't out today, it's magical when it shines through the leaves." I speak out my thoughts.
"I don't need the sun, I have you to make my day brighter." Wanda flirts and I blush at the compliment. Her hand finds mine and our fingers slide into each other automatically.
"And I have you, my wiggle-woo." I tease and she nudges my shoulder with a grin.
"That sounds like something weird." She states and I chuckle.

"So, what would you like to be called?" I ask and watch her side profile while she thinks. Her lips purse a little and it's so cute.
"How about daisy?" I offer and she looks at me surprised, waiting for my elaboration.

"I don't know why, but daisy's always caught my eye and I think they are really pretty. And when I first saw you, you also caught my eye and are very pretty." The last part is mumbled but by her smile, I can tell she still heard it.
"And I also feel like they fight to come up every year and you fought too, to be seen as good, you know?" I ramble and look at our intertwined fingers, worried she might think it's dumb.
"Or if you don't like that, how about butterfly? Because they are so beautiful but can't see the color of their wings and only from a different point of view, you can tell them that they are pretty. And you're not just pretty, you're also good and I think sometimes you don't even realize what a good person you are but I see that and I can tell you and...yeah." I shut my mouth, realizing I rambled again and she probably thinks I'm weird now.

"I love both of them." She assures me and I smile a little to myself, my eyes still on out fingers. When she slowly lifts our hands, my eyes follow them until I feel her hand cupping my cheek and I meet her emerald eyes.
"Don't worry, I really mean it. It's adorable how you see things and associate them." She reassures me and I smile and lean into her hand. We gaze into each other's eyes until our lips meet once again in a soft kiss. This one is different, it's deeper and almost meaningfuller than the kisses before.

I let go of her hand on my cheek to wrap my hands around her neck while her second hand comes up to cup my face as well. Her lips open a little and I feel her tongue softly grazing my bottom lip.
It's slow and soft as if she wants to make sure I'm okay with it. Without thinking about it, I open my lips and our tongues get to know each other in a slow dance. The feeling inside me is amazing and I don't know how to describe it, it's something beyond happy, joyful and excited.

I almost pout when she pulls away for air and her eyes open to look at me with adoration. It almost takes my breath away how she looks at me.
Her thumb gently brushes over my lip while her eyes stay on mine.
"That was amazing." She whispers and leans her forehead against mine. I hum in agreement and enjoy the moment with her so much.

It gets interrupted by a shiver that runs down my body when wind comes up. Wanda leans back a little and her hands run down to my naked arms in my t-shirt. Without saying anything, she gets out of the jacket that I notice is my mom's and slips it over my arms. It's nicely warm and smells like her.
I'm worried that she's gonna freeze now but she assures me that she's fine.

We spend a bit more time in the forest, watching the leaves in the wind and kissing until the sun slowly starts to set.
Our way back is silent but our fingers stay locked and I feel incredibly happy and free.

Before we enter the compound, we see Steve approaching us and our hands let go of one another.
He greets us before he starts talking to Wanda about something and they take off. So I make my way upstairs to get something to drink. In the little living space next to the kitchen, I see my mom reading a book. She looks up at me and smiles. I return the smile and get the water.
When I turn back around, her eyes scan my upper body and I notice that I'm still wearing my mom's or now Wanda's jacket...

A/n: Which name do you think fits better? Daisy or butterfly? 
I'm not sure yet so, let me know what you think.
Thanks for reading and love to you all <3
