My Safe Haven

Chapter 27: Chaos Magic

Nat's POV:

Wanda has been acting strange since we came back from the sanctum. I can tell that she's distracted and a little rattled but not because of the Thanos situation that's going on but because of something else. She's keeping something from me and I can feel it. It has been a few months since we've been together so I can already tell if there's something that's bothering her.

I continued to pretend that I didn't notice how distracted she was for the last few days and I waited for her to tell me first but it does seem like she won't be initiating it at all. After dinner and our shower, we went to our room to get ready for bed. But I was actually getting ready to interrogate her as well.

She finally changed into some comfier clothes, one of them being my sweater and I smiled a little because I love how she wears my clothes without asking for permission. She normally targets my sweaters and jackets most of the time for some reason. It brings me back to the first time I saw her in Sokovia, wearing my red leather jacket in the middle of trying to win a fight against Ultron.

"You know, I noticed that your clothes are collecting dust in our closet because they're constantly being ignored." I smirked.

"What do you mean? I'm literally wearing my own pair of shorts right now." she defended.

"Because that's all you need, right? Then you snatch one of my sweaters or jackets after." I countered.

"Fine. You really want me to say it?" she started and I raised my eyebrow with a smile, just waiting for her to proceed. "I wear your sweaters and your jackets because I feel safe in them, okay? It feels as if you're hugging me when I'm wearing them. It's stupid but that's how it feels. Do you have a problem with that?"

That made a lot of sense. Because she rarely uses any other clothing that I have apart from my sweaters and jackets. Her explanation made me go back to the thought of why I love her in the first place. Why my heart continuously beats for her. And it actually made me fall in love with her all over again which is one of the best feelings ever.

I was currently changing into my pajamas when I stopped in the middle of putting my sweater on. I threw my sweater that I was planning to wear back into the closet and approached her.

"First of all, I don't have a problem with it at all. I just pointed it out because it's a cute habit of yours. Second, what you said is not stupid because it made a lot of sense. So, thank you for sharing it with me. Third, use all the jackets and sweaters that I have all you want. Because baby, I want you to feel that I'm close to you as much as possible." I said as I walked away from her and went back to the closet to grab a different sweater.

"And lastly, I hope you don't mind because I'm gonna start copying you." I added as I slipped into one of her sweaters.

She scrunched her nose as she flashed a smile at me which is actually one of my favorite smiles of hers because it's so infectious in a way that I automatically smile in return. Wanda is definitely my person and for every passing day, I find other reasons and ways to love her even more. She's the best thing that could ever happen to me in this lonely and miserable world.

She walked towards me and pulled me in for a kiss. She then slid her hands from my shoulders to my stomach as she gripped on the hem of the sweater after.

"I don't mind at all, my love." she said as she kissed me on the forehead before saying, "You look great in them anyway."

She started walking towards the bed and took out the throw pillows, making it ready for us to lay on. When she was done, she crawled on to the bed and slid under the covers and I followed shortly after switching off the main lights of the room, leaving the lamp on.
