Falling for a Maximoff

Chapter 47: Bonding

Pov Wanda

It's Saturday and that means today I'll be going on my first date! I'm really excited and also a little nervous. There's not really a reason for being nervous, I spend time with y/n daily but this feels even more special.

Since last night she was pretty busy talking to Clint. I watched them take off and talk about something, I have no clue what that was about but it sure had a reason.
So, I spent the time reading and doing some homework.

As always, we slept in the same bed and cuddled. It kinda became normal and I wouldn't want to have it any other way. Cuddling with her is great and I love it so much. It also calms me down when I listen to her heartbeat or when she holds me close to her.

Early this morning she took off again, telling me when to meet her. After that she gave me a quick kiss and off she went. Ever since then, my nerves wouldn't calm down but in a good way, I think.

I really want to look good for her because she's planning everything to make the date great so, I can at least look good.
Letting out a huff, I stare at my closet, not knowing what to wear.
Deciding that's a question for later, I put on a robe and head down to the kitchen to eat something, maybe it will help to distract me.

The kitchen is pretty much empty, except for one person: Nat.
I smile shortly at her when I enter and she returns it. Since the talk in the quintjet, we didn't really talk to each other so I can't really say how she feels about me.

I get some food and sit at the table. My thoughts drift away and I think about today. I'm so excited to see what y/n has planned! But then there's still the part about my appearance that makes me nervous. I don't know why, she likes me just the way I am and said I should dress casually but still.

My thoughts are interrupted by a hand on my shoulder and I look up at Nat.
"Everything okay, Wanda? You seem a little nervous." She notices, her eyes kind, a different side to her that I didn't know before.

"Yeah, I'm good, just excited for today and unsure on what to wear." I openly share and play with one of my rings, a nervous habit of mine.

"Your date with y/n." She nods knowingly and sits down next to me. I hum in agreement and look at her.
"Did she tell you what she's planning?" I try to get some more information. But Nat shakes her head.

"She didn't tell me anything except for the fact that she's taking you on a date. I think she asked Clint to help her organize everything. I mean I get it, she doesn't want her mom to help her preparing a date." Nat chuckles a little and I feel myself relaxing around her. She seems to be in a good mood and it's quite nice to have a talk like this with her.

"Yeah, I guess so. So, you don't have any hint on what I should wear? She just said casual but it feels.. wrong?" I try to word my feelings. Natasha nods knowingly.

"Going on a date can make you nervous and rethink everything but I can assure you, it will all be fine. She will pick a good place where you will feel comfortable." Nat tries to calm me and I nod.

"If you like I can try to help you to pick out something to wear." She offers. I look at her in surprise, that's the last thing I would have expected her to say. But honestly, I'm kinda freaking out about this so maybe some help will be good.

"Yes, that would be great, thank you." I reply and smile shyly at her. She returns the smile before getting up.
I follow her and lead her to my room. Luckily it's tidy, otherwise this would have been awkward. I open my closet for her and she looks through my cloths.

"Anything you feel really comfortable in?" She questions and looks back at me. I shrug.
"I like wearing jeans rather than a skirt most of the time." I answer vaguely and she nods at the information.
