[Avengers compound, 12:32 PM]

You're lying on your bed scrolling through your phone, just chilling after having a few hectic mission-filled days. They weren't exactly tiring as they weren't physically demanding for you, but you just wanted a day to breathe and relax.

You hear a knock at your door, which is ajar, and look over to see your beautiful girlfriend peering her head through the gap. You put down your phone and smile at her. "Come in, Wands."

You sit up against your headboard and move over to make some space for her. She sits down beside you and gives you a hug. You hug her back and kiss the top of her head. "What's up, babe?" you ask. She pulls out of the hug and pecks your lips. "Well, I may or may not have set up a date for us today. I know you wanted to relax today, so it's nothing too extravagant, but I wanted to spend some alone time with you after being with the rest of the team for the past few days." You blush as she speaks. "I would love to spend some alone time with you too." Wanda smiles at your response. "So," you begin, "what'd you set up?" "It's a surprise," she says with a smirk. "I will tell you though, that we'll be outdoors, we leave in 10 minutes, and we're not walking there." "How are we getting there?" "That's part of the surprise." She pecks your lips once more and leaves your room as you scramble to find some cute clothes to wear on your date.

You go downstairs and find Wanda.
"Now can you tell me how we're getting there?"
"Okay, fine. We're flying."
"LIKE ON A PLANE?!"
"Nononono, like with my powers."
"Ohhhh. So how am I getting there? You know I can't fly, right?"
"I know, silly. I'll be flying both of us. You'll be on my back."
"Okay. Wow. This is kinda exciting... and a little scary. I've never really flown before, but I'm glad it's with you."
"Don't worry, y/n. I'll keep you safe."
She kisses your head and leads you to the elevator which brings you up to the roof.

Once up there, she asks you to get on her back and you do so, wrapping your arms loosely around her neck as your legs wrap around her waist. "Are you ready?" "Yeah, I think so. Just maybe don't go too faaaAAAST!" Wanda takes to the sky with you holding onto her for dear life. You squeeze your eyes shut, scared to see your surroundings.

You slowly open your eyes and see the compound below you look smaller than usual. "HOLY SHIT, WE'RE FLYING!" you scream, a little panicked. "Yes, yes we are," Wanda responds calmly with a chuckle. "H-how long are we gonna be in the a-air for?" "Not much longer, don't worry. Are you feeling okay?" "I've felt better, but it's starting to seem fun." "I'm glad to hear that."

She eventually softly lands on the summit of a secluded hill. "We're on the ground, my love. You can let go now." You take in your surroundings and realize that you are safely back on the ground and release your death grip on Wanda. She turns to face you and tucks some of your hair behind your ear as a few strands were blown into your face. You lean into her touch and she leans in for a soft kiss.

She slowly turns you around to see the lovely picnic she had set up earlier. She wraps her arms around your waist, hugging you from behind and rests her chin on your shoulder. "Surprise." You stare in awe at the layout in front of you. You've always loved going on picnics with Wanda, but all of the people around you sometimes made it less enjoyable. Too many noises and distractions. But this, this is perfect. No one else around, just the two of you on this hilltop.

"Wands, this is amazing oh my gosh." "Do you like it?" You turn in her arms to face her. "I love it." You cup her face. "And I love you." You pull her into a loving kiss. Wanda says against your lips, "I love you too." She sweetly pecks your lips and pulls you closer to her for a hug. Your arms wrap around her neck to hug her back.

You pull away and just stare at her. Her strawberry red hair catches the light from the sun and a gentle breeze makes it flow softly. She just looks so gorgeous. You could look at her forever. You smile at her as those thoughts cross your mind and she smiles back. Wanda then leads you over to the picnic blanket and you sit down beside her. She takes out the food from the basket she brought up here earlier, along with a bottle of champagne and two flutes.
(a/n: not the instrument, the glasses for drinking out of)

She hands you a plate and you put some food on it as she places your champagne-filled glass beside you. You place your plate on your lap and grab the glass to lightly clink it with hers. You both chuckle and take a sip. "Thank you. For all of this. It's all just, so amazing. You're amazing." Her cheeks turn pink from your compliment. You kiss her cheek and they get even darker.

You spend the rest of the afternoon eating and drinking. Wanda even went to your favourite bakery and bought your favourite desserts for you to enjoy with her and you definitely did. Once the majority of the food was done and the champagne almost empty, Wanda pulls your back onto her chest and lies down on the blanket holding you in her arms. Your arms wrap around hers and you mindlessly trace shapes on them. "I wanna stay like this forever," you say. "Me too." Wanda kisses your head and holds you tighter. You relax in her grip, feeling safe with her arms around you.
