June 25th, 2016
There was a subtle rapping at Wanda's door.
She sat up in her bed and patted at her messy hair, attempting to calm it down, "You can come in, Vis.", she told him. She had been able to recognize his knocking patterns by now.
The door slowly opened, a loud creaking followed, causing Vision to cringe. He stepped inside her room and left a small crack in the door open. "Hello Wanda.", he greeted her.
Wanda rolled her head to the side and tried to hold back her smile, "Hey Vis.", she said with a large smile, failing at being discreet.
He took a step forward, "Are you doing anything right now?", he asked.
Wanda shook her head, "I tried to sleep but I couldn't.", her voice becoming a bit somber.
Vision's eyebrows furrowed slightly, not enough for just anyone to notice but only something Wanda could detect, "I'm sorry, did I wake you?"
Wanda looked down as she laughed, "No, no I gave up on sleep before you came in", she lifted her head back up and looked into the man's eyes, suddenly making a connection.
"Vision?", she called.
"Yes Wanda?", he responded.
"Are you bored?", she raised a brow at him with slight humor.
Vision turned his head away in embarrassment and Wanda silently giggled at the synthezoid.
He turned back towards Wanda and held his hands together, "Yes, I must admit, I'm bored." he answered, seeming as if he was holding back laughter as well.
"Well,", Wanda started, crawling out of bed, "How about we do something.", she looked around the room and the window caught her attention. She walked over to it and Vision followed.
"Do you know anything about stars?", She asked him, hands clinging to the edge of the windowsill.
"I know a few constellations, I could show you them.", he told her.
"I've always loved stars.", she looked back at him before returning her eyes to the sky.
"We could go on the roof, if you want, we could go star-gazing.", he offered.
Wanda turned to him, beaming, "Let's go.", she grabbed his hand and ran out into the hall.
"You know the way to the roof?", Vision whisper-shouted to her as they ran and maneuvered around the various miscellaneous pieces of clutter spread across the floor.
"No, but I know the way outside and we can both fly.", she answered.
Although Vision knew this plan wasn't well thought-out -like what would they do if the front desk lady was still clocked in? What if someone was sitting in their car out front and saw them?- but none of that mattered to him. The look on Wanda's face and the warmth of her hand made him giddy. A bubbly, exhilarating feeling filled his chest and he smiled as he began to run just as enthusiastically as Wanda.
They successfully made it to the check-in area, no front desk lady. Then exited the building into the parking lot. They both looked over their shoulders to check for civilians, none. Everything was going their way tonight. Wanda looked over to her left where Vision was and they locked eyes. She tightened her grip on his hand and they both hoisted themselves into the air, onto the flat roof of the motel.
Wanda loosened her grip and slowly pulled her hand away from Vision to walk to the center of the roof. She did a three-sixty before turning back towards Vision, she signaled him over with her hand.
He stuffed his hands in his pockets and rolled his head with a smile, walking to her.
As he reached her she placed both of her hands on one of his shoulders as they made their way to an air vent, "So, what were you up to before you came to me?", she asked.
They sat down, "Nothing note-worthy. Just pacing around the room, read a book, cleaned the room, those sort of things.", he explained.
Wanda looked up at him, "What was your book about?"
"It was about alien conspiracies . It was interesting to say the least.", he told her.
"Did you agree with anything it said?", she asked again.
Vision tilted his head, looking up into the night sky, "Well we know that there are life-forms beside ourselves in our universe, so I agree with that point of the book."
Wanda squinted her eyes in confusion, "Our universe?", she questioned him.
Vision took in a breath of air, "Well you see, the book also brought up the idea of a multiverse."
"And what do you think?"
He pressed his lips together and took a second before answering, "I believe... I do believe in a multiverse."
A small wind brushed over the two and Wanda covered her arms from the chill that was overcoming her.
Vision looked down at her with a slight frown, "Are you cold? I could get you a blanket.", he offered.
Wanda shook her head with a smile, "No it's alright, you're telling me something important.", she told him.
Vision stood up and walked a bit over to the far left side of the roof, "You matter much more to me than my theories, I'll be back.", he said as he phased into the building below them.
Wanda stared on the ground for a moment before squeezing herself and beaming with joy, I Matter to him, the thought danced around in her head like a ballerina, ecstatic and impossible to ignore.
Vision came back up, carrying much more than just a blanket, "I thought that if we were going to star-gaze, might as well do it properly.", he told her with a shy grin.
Wanda stood up and covered her mouth as she laughed, "Aw Vis, I love that.", she started to make her way over to him.
He met her half-way, "Here you go.", he said as he wrapped on of the blankets he was holding around her.
Wanda bit down on her lip and shied her face away from his glance, "Thank you.", she took a quiet breath to compose herself and looked back up to him, "I can take some of those.", she lifted up one of her hands -the other keeping up her blanket.
Vision spilt up his load in half and held some near Wanda's hand which she grabbed using her powers before he let go.
"I think we should lay the thickest blanket, the one from the Quinjet, down on the cement so we don't become cold.", Vision decided.
"Yeah, that would make the most sense. Do you know if you have it?", she asked him.
Vision quickly scanned through his pile of pillows and blankets before shaking his head.
Wanda searched through her hand-full and found the special blanket, she placed the other items against her chest to keep her blanket stable as she selected the blanket using her powers and laid it on the ground.
The pair began to miscellaneously place the pillows and blankets wherever looked to be the most comfortable, "So keep telling me about the multiverse Vision.", Wanda looked at him before setting down another pillow.
"Well,", he started just as he placed the last of his stuff down, "the multiverse is complicated to explain.", he admitted, crawling under the covers of their make shift bed just before Wanda followed.
"Well,", she turned on her side so all her concentration would be on him, as if she still wouldn't be focused on him if she were on her back, "we have all night.", she confessed in a husky voice.
Vision lit up at the comment, his mouth opened and his eyes danced the sky as he tried to find the words, "In the simplest form; we know that everything exists all at once by the way our universe works.", he looked over at Wanda to see if she was following before continuing. "You wake up one morning, and a star explodes millions of years ago, yet both of these instances happen simultaneously. Here and there are both existing in unison. Both nothing, and everything, going on at all times, at the same time. Past, present, future, they're all the same; just at different points, of the same repeating point.", he pointed at nothing in particular and waved his hands around for his analogy. "All of these minuscule and massive details lead me to believe, we are not alone."
Wanda peered at him with awe, mouth slightly agape. "And what does this all mean to you? What do you think is out there?", she asked him
Vision turned his head to look up at the stars, "I am not certain. But I believe it to be dangerous.", he told her.
"How so?", she dug deeper.
Vision went back to staring at Wanda, "The other universes just existing isn't inherently threatening. But, the fact that if they were to ever interact with our universe, or any other universe for that matter, it could be devastating.", he went silent for a moment, "Two fields of existence aren't meant to collide, it is, unnatural.", he explained.
Wanda gave him a dopey smile and raised her fingers, "To be fair, we aren't exactly natural either.", she confessed, twiddling with a ball of power.
Vision chortled, "You aren't wrong, but this is a different type of unnatural.", he told her.
Wanda nodded, understanding. "Let's just say. One day someone wanted to contact another universe, how do you think they would pull that off?", she randomly asked.
Vision's lips did a small pout, like they always did when he was thinking hard about something; god, Wanda loved his facial expressions. "I have no clue", he said whilst shaking his head, "Why do you ask?"
Wanda shrugged, "I don't know. This concept is just really interesting to me.", she twisted a strand of hair around her index finger.
His eyes were drawn to her playing with her hair. As if in a trance, Vision forgot all about the world around him just focusing on the woman in front of him, the beautiful dark-haired woman with chipped black painted nails. She would grab a piece of hair by her index and pin it with her thumb, twirl up, twirl down, let go, grab a piece of hair, pin down, twirl up, twirl down, let go.
She suddenly stoped, his eyes trailed her hand as she pushed her hair behind her ear. "What do you think you're doing out there.", she lifted her eyes to the stars.
He snapped back into reality and looked at her for a second, "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?", he asked.
Wanda bit back a smile, she didn't want to embarrass him but he was just so adorable, "So what do you think the other 'you' is doing out there?"
"Maybe there's a universe where the accords were never a thing, and we never fought, we are all just at Avengers compound, maybe you even taught me how to make paprikash.", he scooted his face closer to hers as he made the joke.
Wanda closed her eyes as she laughed at the stupid crack, she opened them again and found herself staring back into Vision's eyes. There was something more human about his eyes than actual human's eyes; which didn't make sense but it didn't have it to. "I can't imagine a better universe than this right now. I mean, me and you, on the roof", she motioned her hand to the cement below them, "below the stars.". They looked at each other, "It couldn't get much better than this.", she softly spoke, maintaining eye-contact, inching a bit closer.
Vision's concentration face made another appearance, but it was more than just concentration, maybe a hint of indecisiveness? "Wanda, can I tell you something?", he asked.
Wanda nodded, "Yes, go ahead Vis.", she smiled at him.
Vision looked over his shoulder, afraid that someone could be eavesdropping on the conversation, "Wanda, I'm not sure how to- how I should- how to word this", he stumbled.
Wanda's eyes twinkled at the man's fumbling, "You can say it.", she encouraged him.
He looked over his shoulder again, he was anxious.
She furrowed her brows, "Hey, what's wrong?", she asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Vision took a deep breath and shook his head as if to remove all of his negative thoughts, "Wanda, I'm not sure how to say this; but the day I met you...", he attempted to explain but he was at a loss for words, only she could make him like this. "They day I met you, I; well I should really say the moment I met you, was very hectic, frightening if you will, and I-I,", Vision continued to stutter.
Wanda rubbed his shoulder and bit down on her lip to stop herself from reacting to his antics.
Oh how she was driving him crazy.
He took another breath, "I remember not knowing what was happening, I'm pretty sure I even attacked Thor, if I remember correctly?", he looked to her for reassurance and she nodded, he continued, "I was terrified then, but when I stared at you, it was like this wave of, calm, no, serenity came over me. There was just something, and still something, about you that I just." he sucked his teeth and pressed his lips into a line, he couldn't say it!
Wanda tilted her head and smiled, "Vis?", she called.
He glanced at her.
She slid her hand down his shoulder to his lower arm, "Are you trying to tell me you like me?', she asked him.
He looked slightly nervous, "Yes? Yes.", he confirmed his answer.
Wanda let out a short airy laugh, "I like you too.", she said, beaming.
Vision's eyes shot open, she turned her head as she giggled at him.
"So, what should we do about this?", he pointed between himself and her.
"We can make it official, if you want.", she offered.
His face looked like his heart just melted, "I'd like that."
Wanda became overrun with giddiness and started to giggle, Vision followed. She would look up at him then turn her face down as she'd laugh some more.
After they composed themselves Vision moved his hand into her's, "Wanda, can I kiss you?", he asked her.
Wanda chuckled as she nodded and cupped his face and brought it to hers. Their lips touched softly at first, almost like velvet. There was a tingling sensation and something went off in both of their brains. Then Wanda kissed him harder, and he pushed harder into her as well.
Suddenly her tongue was in his month and his in her's, Vision's hand was running through Wanda's hair, and her leg was crawling up his side with her hand pressed against his chest.
He moved from her mouth to her jawline and her arm instinctively wrapped around his back. She tilted her head up and she panted as she tried her hardest not to moan his name for the world to hear.
Wanda realized they were going a bit to far and rubbed her hands down his arms to get him to calm down, tucking her head down to rest on his. He unlatched himself from her and started to gasp, she leaned their foreheads together so they could both calm down. "I think, that was a bit much for our first kiss.", Wanda huffed.
"Was it?", Vision asked between breaths.
Wanda shook her head -his head following, "I don't know, this is my first time doing anything with anyone.", she confessed.
"Really?", Vision said, still breathing heavily, "I've been with several people, to many to count."
Wanda chuckled with labored breaths, "Oh have you now?", she questioned.
He grabbed onto her shoulders and let out a couple more gasps before his breathing stabilized. "I really liked that.", he told her, becoming more serious.
Wanda nodded, "Yeah, me too.", she agreed.
They sat there in silence for a minute, just holding each other in close proximity.
"So, what should we do now?", Vision asked.
Wanda leaned farther into him, "How about, we just lie here a bit longer."
"That sounds good.", Vision said, leaning into her as well.
It felt as if no time had passed at all, yet Wanda woke up to the warm morning sun with a stirring Vision beside her.
As he woke up she patted his arm, "Good morning Vis,", she said with a heavy morning voice
"G'morning Wanda.", he greeted back. "Should we be going back to our rooms?", he asked.
Wanda slowly blinked, "I'm not sure, what time is it?"
Vision looked into the distance where the sun was, usually he'd be able to tell the time like that in a snap but not right now he was groggy from sleep, "It's about..... nine o'clock. We should head back down."
They both agreed and started to pick up their make-shift 'bed'. "I enjoyed last night.", Vision told her, "The talk, the making it official, and the 'a little bit more than a kiss' kiss", he clarified.
Wanda grabbed a pillow, 'I couldn't have said it better myself.", she said as she walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the jaw. "I wish last night could've lasted longer.", she told him against his cheek.
"We can do this again next time I visit.", he offered with a small grin.
Wanda looked up at him with a mixture of confusion and sadness, "Oh, are you leaving?", she questioned.
Vision stared down at his feet and folded up another blanket, "Sadly, I must go. I do not want to cause Mr.Stark to suspect anything.", he admitted.
Wanda rubbed his arm, "That makes sense.", she gave him an understanding glance and they got back to work picking up all of their stuff.
Once everything was cleaned up Vision transformed into his 'human' self and walked up to Wanda and asked, "Is my stone covered?".
Wanda took a quick look and started to fix his hair, giving him weird looking bangs to cover it up, making her want to chuckle at the sight of it. In a few weeks once his bangs grow out it'll look better. She gave him a thumbs up and grabbed his hand.
They flew down the back side of the building so that no passersby could spot them. Wanda checked his forehead again -it would've been better to fix it after flying down but their morning brains weren't able to think like that just yet- luckily it was all good and they walked back into the motel.
The receptionist gave them weird looks but they guessed she wasn't getting paid enough to ask why they were bringing in pillows and blankets and were able to just slip pass her into the hall
They walked into Vision's room where they found the completely naked bed, "Oh Vis, did you take everything from out of your room?", she asked him.
If it were at all possible she swore she saw him blush, "I didn't want to get anything of yours dirty.", he told her.
Wanda held her hands over her chest, "You're too sweet Vis.", she smiled at him.
He stole a glance at her before looking away, "It would've felt wrong to take things from your room just to lie them outside.", he said. He started to lay a blanket down on the bed but Wanda stopped him.
She put her finger in the air, "I got this.", she picked up everything, the pillows, blankets, even the super thin blankets that really should have been considered sheets, and made the bed in under ten seconds.
Vision made a 'oh look at that' face and put his hands on his waist, "Well, thank you darling."
"Darling?", she questioned.
"Is it too soon for stuff like that?", Vision asked.
"Maybe, but I like it.", she went up on her tip toes and kissed him, placing both of her hands on either side of his chest.
Vision's hands caressed her middle back, slowly moving up higher, then to her shoulders, to her arms, and finally to her hands- removing them off of him. He slowly let their lips part then bent down to her hands, leaving a lingering kiss on her knuckles, "Until next time, darling.", he began to move his hands away from her's when she tightened her grip on him.
"How are you getting back to the compound.", she furrowed her brows.
He rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb, "Don't worry about me. I'll see you soon.", and with that his hand fell back to his side and he walked to the wall, phasing outside.
Wanda stepped over to the window to watch him leave, "Bye Vis.", she mouthed against the cold window as the synthezoid flew off into the horizon.
