Maximoff Theory (WandaxFtmreader)

Chapter 31

Y/N'S POV

You let Athena take you to your room, and you tell her to leave you alone as the weight of every decision you have ever made crashes down onto you. The tears won't stop flowing, you have never felt such responsibility. You are interrupted when Wanda softly knocks on the door frame, you don't hide your tears as you run to her collapsing into her arms and melting into your overwhelming emotion. She holds your head as you sob into her, you feel bad that she is constantly having to support you, she deserves someone who doesn't need to be taken care of all the time.

"Shhh, it's okay I'm here." She whispers in your ear, she always knows what to say. You hold her tight never wanting to let her go. She brings you over to the bed and you lay on her chest finally ceasing your sobs. You don't know why she has this effect on you but the world could be burning and even in her arms, you would feel safe. You don't want to sleep you just want to talk to her about every small thing that has driven you to this point.

"Wanda?"

"Yes?"

"I'm never going to leave you, you know that right?"

"Of course I do, why do you bring this up?"

"When my brother was in my head I had to show him a future where he killed me, in that future he saw you as you held my dead body. In this premonition, you said you were cursed, cursed with having every person you loved die. You were saying I would never leave you, it's true. When the day comes and I do die-"

"Don't, I don't want to have this conversation."

"I know, but one day we will both die. I don't want to die without telling you exactly how much you mean to me. Wanda before I met you every second I spent alive was torture, not only because I was in literal torture but because my mind wasn't kind to me. The only time I got a break was when I slept, but the day I met you those thoughts faded. Even in all the chaos and near-death experiences, those thoughts have been at bay. I never thought I could be loved, you make all the impossibilities that used to horrify me of the future possible. I don't just love you, I trust you. You are the one person who understands me and doesn't run." You finally turn to her to see tears coat her eyes.

"Y/N..." She can't even finish her sentence as her body overtakes her planting a kiss upon you. Her forehead rests on yours as she speaks.

"I know you can't control when death comes for you but if you could delay it as much as possible I would appreciate it. I want to spend every moment with you, preferably not trying to save your life but if those are the moments we are only allowed I will take them. I don't know what is going to happen with this war but I know that I will never leave your side, I trust you." You gaze into the eyes of each other as the warmth of safety overtakes both of you, you never want this moment to end. Eventually, you both fall asleep holding one another close.

The morning comes and for once Wanda lays beside you, the birds chirp as the sun glares into the window. You trace your finger over the small of her back up to her neck, she was so graceful when she slept. You softly kiss her neck as you get up to shower, you turn the water on and hop into the shower. Minutes later the bathroom door opens, and you peek outside to see Wanda stripping the clothes off of herself and entering the shower with you. She wasn't kidding when she said she wanted to spend every moment with you, she washes her body as you wash your hair. The silence was comforting, you both finished and got out to dry yourselves. While she got ready you went downstairs to cook breakfast, Athena was already in the kitchen. She looked frazzled, something was on her mind and it was not Zeus.

"What's up with you?" You ask her as you grab the eggs out of the fridge.

"Nothing, why do I look like something's wrong with me?"

"Well if you didn't look it you definitely sound like it." She sighs at your response.

"I kissed Yelena, well she kissed me? It was mutual." You drop your eggs onto the floor and scream in excitement. Wanda rushes downstairs still in her underwear, she is relieved to see you still in one piece.

"God I thought you were dying! What's going on?"

"Well the god that worried about me falling in love with a mortal is now the same god who kissed a mortal."

"Will you shut up!" Athena says throwing the dish towel at you.

"Well, what happened after you kissed Yelena?" You ask.

"YOU KISSED YELENA?!" Wanda says in shock, Athena blushes bright red.

"I ran away and left her alone in the foyer." You and Wanda both look at each other and chuckle.

"Well, you got the gay panic part down."

"I think I fucked it up." Athena sighs.

"Well, why'd you run away?" Wanda asks.

"I felt too vulnerable."

"Athena that's kinda the whole point of falling in love, you need to allow yourself to feel vulnerable. That's why it's called falling in love and not walking into love. You need to allow yourself to take the risk." You respond as Wanda goes back upstairs to get dressed.

"Did you two fuck last night?"

"Okay one, none of your business, two no, three stop changing the topic."

"I'm not changing the topic!"

"You so fucking are!"

"I don't do the whole emotions and love thing."

"Well, you can always try." You grab a pop-tart instead of eggs for breakfast.

"I hate you sometimes."

"Love you too!" You say as you go to the guest house's gym, you go straight to the treadmill starting the conveyer at an average pace. You start the jog allowing yourself to grow faster as you turn up the speed, you always liked running, it was always running away but now it was running toward the danger. You ran for about an hour finally finishing and showering once again, you probably should have worked out before your shower but you didn't mind an extra shower. When you finished you walked over to the main building looking for Wanda, you found her in the library which wasn't surprising as she loved to read. She was reading an ancient book about the Greek gods, most likely doing research for what lies ahead. You sneak up behind her placing your hands over her eyes, this was not a good idea as she flings you into the bookshelf behind you. When she notices who she has just flung across the room she instantly feel bad, you groan in pain and move the books off of yourself.

"Well, hello to you too." You joke.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry honey."

"Honey?"

"Well I don't want to call you babe or baby it feels too weird." You smile at this and get up walking closer to her.

"So what are you looking for in that book?"

"I'm trying to see if there are any weaknesses Zeus has that we can exploit."

"Well, his ego for starters."

"Yea, but I was thinking something more like psychological warfare."

"Well, I'm sure you will find it. I just came by to say hi, anyway, I'm going to go take a nap. You need anything before I do?"

"No, I'm good." You turn to leave the library but are stopped when Wanda speaks.

"What?"

"Huh, I didn't say anything?" You reply.

"Oh must have just been the wind."

"You sure you don't need a nap?"

"Yea, I'm good go enjoy your nap." You leave her in the library walking past Athena on the way back to the house.

"Hey, Athena? Can you watch after Wanda, I have a feeling something is wrong and I don't want her to be alone."

"Sure!" She says, you go up to your room and lay in your bed drifting away into your nap.
