The other Stark (long) (Wanda x reader)

What are we?

Wanda pov

The dress Olivia had given me is amazing. All i had asked for was long sleeves. So i got a fluffy pink dress and i'm going barefoot, she said it's because of the dancing.

I actually don't know how long we're staying but judging by the wardrobe i'm guessing a few days. Most of the dresses are as i said, dresses and not casual, some but not many. But you always wanna go all the way out. A few small braids in my hair with pearls and i'm done.

"Looking good Maximoff" you say, making me jump. Your sitting on the bed, and you were right it's large. So big we won't even touch each other. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you"

"It's okay, aren't you gonna get ready?" i ask, turning back to the mirror. In it i can see you looking me up and down and insecurity creeps up my neck.

"Choose my dress"

"What?" i can't choose what you're gonna wear.

"Since you have good taste. Choose my dress" you gesture for me to go into the wardrobe. But as i keep standing still you sign and walk in yourself. "Fine then pick a number between one and fifty"

"Twelve" i answer, I thought there we're more than fifty dresses there. Maybe that's just ball gowns you haven't worn yet.

"Who did you see?" i ask, trying to keep a conversation going as you change and fix your hair in there. I would go in so i could hear you better but maybe we're not on that level of knowing each other. Even though you're pretty comfortable, i can tell that but just maybe not yet.

"Thor's brother" you answer and somehow i'm surprised you're honest. But who am i to tell what your saying.

"Loki? the one that enslaved you and Clint and attacked New York?" you humm in answer with a laugh. Me, i'm more concerned. "Why?"

"Are you worried Luv?" you say with a smile as you come back out i'm amazed by the dress. It's bone white and very revealing. With a golden belt at the waist and holding it up around your neck. Your hair in braids as mine but not fastened with pearls but with a tiara.

But that's not the thing that catches my gaze. It's your open back, your shoulders and arms, chest where dozens of small white lines spread everywhere.

"You want me to stare?" you say with that cold voice again. I didn't notice time started to move as I looked at you.

"Sorry" i say and your face starts to melt the cold expresion again.

"You're surprised that someone like me have self harm scars" it sounds like a question but that's not how you mean it.

"I'll admit i am" i say with a lowered voice.

"Because you think i had it all"

"I didn't say that"

"But you thought it, how could y/n Stark have scars she inflicted on herself"

"How come you have?" i didn't think before i spoke this time. Which i should. "I mean, you were four when your birth parents died and you don't remember them even"

"I remember, i remember how my mother used to sing me to sleep, i remember how i was scared for my father every time he left the house" i'm silent to your words and you continue in a calmer voice. "Growing up famous isn't what you think it would be. I was hated and loved for my last name. Just four years later the people that took me in got murdered, i was nine"

"How come you didn't go back into the system?" why can't i think before i speak anymore, it's like you're making me say the things i think.

"Tony, he took care of me instead, that's why we're so close. But when i was sixteen i had been bullied for being the kid without parents, so i tried to take my own life but I failed and you know what, I'm happy i did because i would have never had the life i have today if i had died that day"

"That's different, you were a teenager with something, someone to live for. I have no one" i say and i know it's true. Why am i saying everything i'm thinking. But you don't seem to mind my questions.

"You have me" your words suprise me alot. You move a lot closer to me so i can feel your breath on my cheek. There's something in your eyes that is nothing like what i saw earlier. "And i'm never leaving so live for me"

"You know, your mood swings are giving me a headache" why couldn't i just keep my mouth shut to be this close to you. You smile as you take a step back.

"Well then" you say still with that smile on your lips. You extend me your hand before saying "We have a ball to go to"

I take it and it's like the conversation we just had never happened. What happened with Loki that made you change this much. When we left home you were scared and now you're back to being the flirty you, and answer those questions.

"At least we're not strangers anymore now" you say as we walk the halls were there rarely are any people.

"Then what are we?"

"That's for you to decide, but let me have one dance first" you say as the doors open to the ballroom.
