What about us?

Hey everyone!! So this one-shot is wlw WandaNat, they are not together anymore and are having a little bit of trouble seeing one another. 

I don't know how sad this will be to you guys...

TW : Swearing

Listen to the video above while reading, it adds to the emotion...? The song was what gave me the idea for this one-shot.

"When I'm away from you, I'm happier than ever." Wanda's voice slowly trailed off into the surrounding rain as it smacked into the concrete. 

Thank god for the raindrops trickling down Natasha's face, if not for them, her tears would be visible as they rolled down her cheeks. 

A soft chuckle escaped the older redhead's mouth, her emotions plastered all throughout her face. "I remember when you would say that before..." Her eyes shifted from the splattering puddles to her soulmates eyes.  

"Say what?" The furious younger witch, barked. Her emotions being voiced as opposed to being shown. 

"...that I made you happier than ever..." Natasha stared into Wanda's eyes, watching the gears turn behind them, watching her emotions swirl around in her usually welcoming, blue eyes. Watching her face soften before her eyebrows ruffled again, and her jaw clench harder than ever. 

"That was before everything, Nat!" Wanda took a threatening step closer, without realizing how she was allowing her emotions to best her, how they were choosing her next actions. 

Both stood there, not knowing how the other was going to reply. Hair and coats drenched, tears becoming one with the rain. 

"That was before I-I walked in on you and Maria! Before you pulled that fucking stunt!" A steady flow of tears streamed down Wanda's face, she continuously threw her arms in the air out of frustration.

Was it because of how hurt Natasha had made her? Yes. 

Was it because of how angry she had been? Most definitely. 

But it was mainly the fact that the person standing across from her, the person who promised to always be there for her, promised to comfort her when needed, to love her when most wanted...promised her to protect her from getting hurt was the one who indeed hurt her the most. 

"I watched you break my heart...right in front of me." Wanda's confidence faded. Her voice breaking more than ever.

"Wanda...I-I can't explain how sorry I am...I love you." 

Wanda laughed out loud, using the outside of her hands to wipe away her tears. "Well, you should've thought about that before getting into bed with her!" She stood there, gathering herself, trying not to feel any more embarrassed than she already was."Did I not love you enough?...So you thought this would be a good way to get me back?" Her shoulders shrugged, effortlessly. 

"Of course not, you loved me more than I deserved...You make me feel like myself. You make me feel like life's worth living. Can't we try to work this out? Please? For us..." Natasha would get down on her knees to beg, if needed, for the woman she loves most. 

"Nat..." Wanda exhaled. 

The rain getting heavier and heavier by the drop, thundering beginning to bellow through the dark, gloomy, black sky. 

"I can't do it...I don't deserve this and you don't deserve being with someone who can't look at you the same way you look at them...I've seen how you and Maria look at one another, even when we were dating, I could see it. You guys are the ones who deserve to be together. Not us. There isn't an us anymore."  

Natasha could tell that the younger witch's energy had drained a significant amount during this interaction, she needed a chance to let all her anger out that had been bottled up. 

Moments passed, neither had anything else to say. Natasha took slow steps forward, coming to a stop once in front of the witch. She leaned forward, taking the left side of Wanda's face in her hand, she went to give her one last kiss but the younger redhead had moved, not allowing her to kiss her. 

"Just one last time...please." Nat frowned. 

Wanda gave the smallest nod of agreement before moving her head closer in the direction of her ex-lover's face. Natasha Romanoff gave Wanda Maximoff a gentle kiss on her cheek. Wanda hesitantly leaned into the kiss, she wanted to feel her soft lips against hers again, but she couldn't, or she wouldn't be able to leave her...

"I'm sorry..." Natasha looked Wanda in her eyes once again, her voice breaking. 

She turned to leave, but a delicate hand gently grabbed hers. "I will always love you, Nat." Wanda mumbled just loud enough to be heard over the rain. 

"...I really fucked up this time, huh?..." Nat gave a slight smirk in the corner of her mouth, regret all over her face, that smallest smile hiding her want to scream out in pain. 

Natasha turned around, leaving Wanda standing in the middle of the road, getting poured on. 

Wanda watched as her love disappeared into the shadows of the streets. Memories flashing in her head of when she walked into their room and saw a sight that killed her. 

She had only been gone a week. A week was all it took. Just one mission that ruined their lives for the worst...or even the best. 

Coming back home, physically in pain, wanting to go see the one person that had been running around in your mind for the past 7 days, only to find her in bed with someone that wasn't you. Causing you even more pain. Mentally, emotionally. Everything hurt. 

Wanda could feel the tears coming to her eyes again, burning to be let loose, blurring her vision. Hating how she could picture and hear Nat's calls for her as she ran away from the room that was once theirs. 

Maybe they weren't the most perfect couple, but they worked, they worked together. She should've listened to Clint and her brother when they told her that Natasha wasn't the one for her, she wasn't going to be her forever. 

Natasha was just a phase...one of the best phases of her life...all the laughs, the kisses, the cuddles. It was Wanda's dream. It was painful to let it all go...

These two were the perfect, most precise definition of 'right person, wrong time'. They would forever love one another, nothing would be able to break that, but it never seemed they were in the right place in their lives to be together. No matter how much it hurt them to be apart, as the younger witch had said, it would hurt more to stay together. 

Soulmates that were meant to be...but not forever...
