I woke up to a nightmare. I wipe my sweat from my face, sitting up in the bed. I'm still not used to sleeping on a decent mattress.

I sit up and rest my back against the bedpost, reaching for the bedside table and picking up my new phone. Courtesy of Tony.

I look at the time to see it's past midnight, I rub my eyes and place my phone back down, realizing my sleep is long gone.

So I get out of the bed and throw on some clothes, heading to the kitchen for a glass of water. When I enter the open kitchen, I see Wanda on the living room couch, silently watching TV.

She hears me getting a glass and looks at me, smiling lightly. I pour myself some cold water, going to sit next to her.

"Can't sleep either, huh?" she asks.

"Yeah, nightmare." I reply, chugging down the water.

"Same. Wanna talk about it? I heard it helps."

"It's nothing special. Just my parents. I don't remember how they look like, so I just see faceless humans. They keep reminding me of how useless I am and stuff like that."

She gives me a sad look, taking my hand in hers. I look at her, with an unreadable expression.

"You are not useless. You've been through so much, just like all of us. Never call yourself useless again. Understand?" she says, with a sympathetic and also stern expression.

"Thanks." I smile lightly "What about you? What're your nightmares about?"

"Mostly about my family's death. I wish I could've saved them. I wasn't able to do anything, though." she says, sadly. I squeeze her hand, comfortingly.

"I'm sorry," I say. She shakes her head, looking at me.

"Don't worry. At least I have people to talk to about it."

"Yeah." I sigh.

I then look at her, glancing at her lips. The moonlight is illuminating her face, making her eyes look as beautiful as ever.

I take my hand out of her grasp, placing it on her cheek, while staring into her eyes. I slowly lean in and before I know it, our lips have connected into a loving kiss.

I feel her kiss back, as her hand settles on my knee. I place my free hand behind her neck, controlling the kiss.

A few seconds pass, while really it felt like a few minutes, before we break apart. She places another quick kiss on my lips, and I feel my stomach tingling with butterflies.

"So.." I start.

"So.."

"What does this mean?" I ask.

"I don't know." she replies "All I know, is that I want to do that again and again."

"So does that mean.."

"Yeah." she smiles.

"Do you want to be my first girlfriend, at age of 22?" I ask in a humorous tone.

"I'd love that." she giggles. I love her laugh.

I sleepily open my eyes with a yawn. I sit up and look at the clock, to see it's just past 6 AM. I look at Wanda and lightly smile, I fell asleep on her shoulder.

I argue with myself about what to do, before quickly deciding to take Wanda to her room, before anyone wakes up and starts asking questions.

I slowly pick her up, bridal style, and head in the direction of her room. I enter her room and set her down on the bed, before standing up to leave the room.

I hesitate, though, looking at her and quickly lean down to kiss her forehead. I then leave the room and silently close the door behind me. I head go the elevator and go to the guest penthouse.

I go to my room and head straight for the bathroom. I disregard my clothes and step into the shower, turning on the water and adjusting it quite cold.

I'm still kinda sleepy, but a cold shower should wake me up properly. I wash my hair and body, ignoring the unpleasant temperature of the water.

I cut down the shower to no more than 5 minutes, before turning off the water and getting out of the shower. I dry myself and brush my teeth, before leaving the bathroom.

I change into some warm clothes and leave my room, heading back to the elevator. I go up to the penthouse, to see Steve and James already awake, eating breakfast.

"Morning, Y/N! There's some omelet left over. You want some?" Steve greets.

"Morning." I reply "Yeah, alright. Thanks."

I serve myself some breakfast, also pouring myself a glass of orange juice. I sit down to eat, getting lost in my thoughts.

I can't stop thinking about last night. How did I land her? I have no idea. We talked a bit and it turns out that was her first kiss, as well.

At least I can feel a bit better about my terrible kissing skills. We both have a lot to learn.

But that kiss.. Despite us both being terrible at kissing, it felt incredible. The feeling of her soft, moist lips is still lingering on my mind.

After everything she's been through, she deserves someone to take good care of her, and I promise to myself and her, I will do my very best.

Wanda's POV:

I woke up in my bed. It's a bit past 9 AM, and for the past half an hour, I've been laying in my bed, last night on my mind.

The way the moonlight was highlighting his gorgeous eyes and messy hair. He looked so cute, though handsome, at the same time.

Oh, and that kiss. I will never forget that feeling of his soft lips. It was amazing. I still can't believe he feels something for me, especially after everything I've done.

All I know, I will do my best to take good care of him. After everything he's been through in his life, he deserves it.
