The Story Of Us - Wanda Maximoff x Reader

Chapter 13: Lover

Warnings: none

Note: This chapter is more of an epilogue, really, but it's a cute moment and I feel like it wouldn't make sense if I left this song out. Hope you like it!

This would be the prettiest sight in Westview if you didn't have a certain redhead in mind.

Still, the party venue didn't fail to take your breath away, with the pastel decorations just the way Wanda likes them, and the yellowish lights you've chosen, which give the whole garden a more and more welcoming tone as the sun goes down.

And all this from the small window of the room where you are getting ready. You imagine how beautiful the ceremony will be when you finally come down to be part of it.

Only the thought makes your insides turn nervously, your heart beating faster with anxiety. Of course your brain would trick you into thinking about all the things that could go wrong, but you wouldn't allow that. Everything would be fine, there's no reason to be nervous.

"We have a problem." Is the next thing you hear, and you spin on your heels to face Pietro entering the room. "A small problem, nothing I can't fix." He adds quickly as he closes the door, slightly scared by your desperate expression, "I actually just don't know where to put the ring bear."

"Ring bearer?" You correct, looking at him with shock, and the man shrugs his shoulders. "Yes, the bear that will bear the rings." He says with obviousness, but you keep looking at him completely baffled, hoping he is kidding. From the way his eyes widen in the next second, you figure he's not.

"OH MY GOD." Pietro exclaims, his face showing a mixture of realization and terror, and you widen your own eyes in both irritation and disbelief. "YOU BROUGHT A BEAR TO MY WEDDING?!"

"What the hell are you two yelling about?!" Natasha's voice is confused as she enters the room, Maria right behind her. As the two women enter and close the door, you run your hand through your hair angrily. "Pietro brought a wild animal to my wedding!"

"Technically it's not wild, it lives in a zoo-"

"There's a bear at my wedding!" You interrupt the defensive speech of the blonde man, who shuts up immediately, ashamed - and slightly scared of your angry posture. Natasha and Maria exchange confused looks as you keep mumbling under your breath about your wedding being a complete disaster.

"Okay, Y/n, calm down." Asks the redhead tenderly, placing her hands on your shoulders and guiding you to sit on the chair near the window you were previously looking at. After you do, Natasha turns her attention to her girlfriend. "Babe, can you go get her some water please?"

At the same instant, Maria nods and rushes out of the bedroom. As you bury your face in your hands in distress, Natasha crosses her arms, looking at Pietro, who's been motionless by the side of the door. "You, talk."

"Alright, so, Wanda left me in charge of taking care of the ring bearer and-"

"Never mind, you don't have to say anything else." The redhead interrupts with a tired sigh, torn between laughing at the absurdity of that situation or slapping the man on the head for such an unbelievable mistake.

"Okay, look, in my defense, he's trained for this. He's pretty small, his name is Koda and he's adorable." The blonde man argues at the same time as Maria returns to the room, and offers a yellow smile in an attempt to make the situation better somehow.

"I just saw the bear, he really is cute." The dark-haired woman adds, handing you the glass of water, and you drink it all in a single gulp. "Okay then, if the bear is trained for it I don't see a problem. It'll be a lot of fun, actually." Natasha says, reassuringly looking at you and you sigh, nodding your head in surrender.
