[2018]

You, your girlfriend, Wanda, and a few of your friends were discussing ideas of what to do because all six of you had a day off and wanted to spend it together. Your group consists of you and Wanda, Natasha and Maria, who are married, and Steve and Bucky who've been dating for a while. You were a chaotic group of gays, to say the least. The wives suggest that you all should go out for brunch, the gayest meal of the day. "I'd beg to differ," Bucky says with a smirk toward Steve, making him blush.

The rest of you chuckle and agree to the idea of a group brunch. A few of you pull out your phones and start looking up brunch places nearby and Wanda finds one that's within walking distance. "It should take us about 20 minutes," she states with a smile.

"Since we rarely get to hang out like this, how about we have some fun and get all dressed up?" Steve suggests. "Isn't that what you're supposed to do for brunches?" Maria queries. You all shrug your shoulders, not really knowing what a brunch entails, but liking the idea of it. You all decide to meet by the elevator in an hour and go off to your rooms to start getting ready.

You decide to wear a light grey suit as it caught your eye as soon as you opened your closet and Wanda chooses a floor-length red dress that somehow perfectly compliments your outfit. This girl never fails to take your breath away.

"Looking sharp, my love," Wanda says then pecks your lips. "Why thank you, darling, and might I say that you look absolutely stunning, wow." You look her up and down then place your hands on her waist, pulling her closer to you. She rests her hands on your shoulders and her eyes find yours. You hold each other's soft gaze for a moment before her hands snake around the back of your neck and she pulls you into a passionate, yet gentle kiss. "I love you, Maximoff." "I love you too, y/l/n." You both kiss once more before heading to the elevator.

After an hour and 15 minutes because someone couldn't get their hair to stay the way they wanted it, (Bucky), you were finally all gathered by the elevator, about to head down and walk over to the restaurant.

The walk over is pretty uneventful, except for when you tripped on an uneven sidewalk, but luckily Wanda caught you. You swear your love for her grew exponentially when you looked up at her and locked eyes. She pulled you back onto your feet and you became a blushing mess with a goofy smile on your face. You've been together for over two years now, but she still has such an effect on you.

Once at the restaurant, you are led to a table on the patio and you all take your seats. You sit with Wanda to your right followed by Maria then Natasha, and Steve on your left beside Bucky, who is also beside Natasha because the table is a circle.

You all browse your menus and discuss what looks good. The waiter eventually swings by your table and takes your orders for drinks.
Your drinks arrive and you all order your food. As you wait for your food, you all begin discussing any recent missions that you've been on, sharing a few laughs, but overall just enjoying each other's company.

Your meals finally arrive and thankfully the food is really good and everyone finishes their plates. You guys decide to pass on dessert and suddenly Wanda clinks her glass with a spoon and declares, "I'd like to propose a toast."

The chatter around the table quiets down as Wanda stands up from her seat and begins, "thank you all for being here today. I'm so glad that we all had some time off and could spend it together. I love you all so much and I'm eternally grateful that I get to call all of you my friends. I am especially grateful though, that I get to call one of you my lovely significant other." She looks at you and smiles warmly and you return the smile. "Y/n, the love that I feel for you and have been feeling for over two years has never stopped growing and I don't want it to stop. You are my entire world and you complete me. You are my sunshine in the day and my moonlight at night, brightening up my life when I need it the most. I can't possibly imagine my life without you. You mean everything and more to me and I love you so much. So..." Just as Wanda is about to say something, Steve taps you on the shoulder, so you turn to face him with a puzzled look on your face, but he acts like he did nothing. You stare a little longer, but once you realize he won't give in you just playfully roll your eyes and turn back to see Wanda down on one knee with a box in her hand. "Y/n y/l/n," she opens the box revealing a dazzling engagement ring then continues, "will you marry me?"

You're speechless, but you nod your head and squeak out a "yes!" and cup her face to pull her into a deep kiss.

Once you separate, she gently grabs your left hand and slides the ring onto your finger. She now cups your face and places a soft kiss on your lips.

You help her back up into her chair and just stare at the sparking addition to your hand. "I'm glad this afternoon went smoothly," Bucky remarks as the rest of the table agrees and seems to relax a bit more. "What's that supposed to mean? Wait, Wanda, did you plan this whole brunch?" you ask. She nods with a huge smile plastered on her face.

"Oh, she planned it alright," Steve chuckles. "There were scripts, y/n," Natasha says. "Yeah, we even had rehearsals," Maria mentions. "Was me tripping on the sidewalk part of your plan?" you ask your girlfr- fiancée. She laughs while shaking her head. "No, my love, it was not." "Well then, I'm grateful for your quick reflexes."

Your gaze lands back on the ring once more and you pull out your phone to record a video of you holding up just your ring finger and exclaiming, "I'm getting married, bitches!" Then you pull Wanda into a loving kiss and when you separate, the biggest smile grows on your face as you admire the love of your life that is right in front of you and can't wait to spend the rest of your life with her.

And as you sit on your bed, staring at your phone playing the video of you admiring Wanda at that brunch 4 years ago, tears start streaming down your face as you realize that that was the last time you genuinely felt happy.

Who knew that a few days later your fiancée would turn to dust right in front of your eyes, along with Maria and Bucky, leaving you, Natasha, and Steve all alone with a lack of love in your lives that could never be replaced.

Whether she's here or not, you will always be hers and she will always be yours, which is why that ring from 4 years ago has never left your person, staying around your neck on the necklace Wanda gave to you on your first date, having her first and last gifts to you always with you.

She's always with you.

I honestly don't know how brunches are exactly supposed to work and I don't really care
