As The World Caves In

ch. 15

The light that veered through the cracks of Raven's window invaded her room, shining its light on her face causing her to wake up. She fluttered her eyes open, realizing that it's early in the morning. Before she could move away from her bed, a pressure from her right arm prevented her from doing so. She diverted her attention to the source, finding Wanda sleeping comfortably.

Raven halted her attempt on getting out of bed, slowly falling back to the position she was in. A smile crept up on her face, a tingly sensation in her chest started to appear. She doesn't remember how they ended up sleeping on the same bed, but she's not complaining nonetheless.

Every once in a while, Wanda would mumble incoherent sentences that would catch Raven's attention, earning a suppressed chuckle from her. Of course, she didn't mind any of it, in fact she somehow found comfort in it, a new source of entertainment to her. It only made the sensation inside her chest grow fonder.

Sooner rather than later, Wanda eventually gained consciousness. She opened her eyes slowly, the first thing she saw was Raven. She smiled as bright as she could despite the fact that she had just woken up.

"Good morning beautiful." Raven greeted with a smile. "Are you hungry? I could make us breakfast. Anything you want to eat, I'll make it."

Wanda exhaled softly, "five more minutes inside your arms and you can make me waffles with strawberries and whipped cream on top."

Raven grinned at her request, "anything for my princess." She pecked a kiss on her forehead, embracing the woman inside her arms a little tighter.

As soon as they retreated away from the bed they slept on, the two invaded the kitchen where Wanda watched Raven make the food she wanted to eat for breakfast.

Raven hummed a song that was stuck in her head for quite some time as she prepared the batter for the waffles. Satisfied of the texture, she then grabbed the fresh strawberries she had bought yesterday and began cutting it into pieces. As she waited for the pan to heat up, she picked up a piece of strawberry, popping it into her mouth. She grabbed another, giving Wanda one. The woman smiled brightly as she savored the flavor.

It didn't take long until she had finished making everything Wanda had requested. Raven presented the food on the plate as if the queen of England was about to eat the food, making sure it looks exquisite. After fiddling with the plate, she finally placed it in front of Wanda.

"I hope you like it."

"I'm sure I will." Wanda scrunched her nose as she smiled before digging in.

Raven admired the woman for a second before grabbing herself a plate. She quickly made her way beside Wanda, the two eating in peace like a domestic couple.

After breakfast, Raven came up with the idea to spend their day off watching movies in her room. As she surf through numerous choices through Netflix, Wanda had gone to the kitchen to make popcorn. She waited in silence as the microwave conveyor spins counterclockwise, making the popcorn.

Wanda couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement inside of her. For once in her life, she felt something new. It wasn't guilt or any negative emotions. It was simply feeling fulfilled and content. After the popcorn had finished, she walked herself back to the room where Raven had waited for her.

"Did you already choose a movie to watch?" Wanda asked, making her way beside her.

Rave nodded, "yes I have. We're watching The Vow."

"Can't say I've watched this movie before."

"You're gonna love it." Raven smiled, taking a popcorn off of the bowl.
