Wanda's POV
It was a very unusually silent night at the avengers compound. It was so silent as if I was the only one left on this planet. There wasn't any sign of anyone or anything, not a single soul, not even owls or dragonflies outside of my window. Everything was pitch black, scary. I was staring at the ceiling, deep into my thoughts. This was not too long after Pietro's death so I still had trouble sleeping. My brother, the only person I had left was gone just like that along with my parents. I was trying to process everything that had happened, I was trying, but with no luck. It was like this wave washing over me again and again, It kept knocking me down and when I tried to stand up.. it would just come for me again. I was tired of it. Tired of everything, miserable.
I was thinking of someone when suddenly a bright strike of light flashed before my eyes, forcing it to close. I opened my eyes slowly, trying to make my eyesight focus. I saw it again... The bomb wasn't too far away from me, I was scared, crying. I could hear Pietro yelling my name over and over, trying to get to me. I screamed his name a few times, then I looked around, scanning the room, trying to find Pietro but still with no sign of him.
I woke up, screaming not too loudly, gasping for air, my eyes full of tears snapped open, my heart pounding and my body covered in cold sweat. I looked around trying to figure out what had just happened just as the door went flying wide open. I saw the person standing in the doorway... Natasha, the person i'd been thinking of in my dream. Her room was right next to mine, no wonder how she just appeared in my room in a split of a second.
Natasha's POV:
It had been around 2 months but she had still been struggling to sleep sometimes because of her brother. I could hear small whimpers coming from the hallways. She would get up at night and go to the balcony, stay there for a while, probably to have some time alone, try to process everything and then would go back to her room.
This night was different though...
It was around 4 in the morning, I was thinking of Wanda, worried, hoping that her suffering would end soon. I suddenly heard a scream coming from Wanda's room. I basically jumped from my bed, rushing to her room, hearing her little cries on the way which broke my heart into million pieces. I flung the door open and I saw her crying, struggling to breathe. I ran to her, hugged her tight and got a hug back. She was shaking uncontrollably and struggled to catch air. I decided to let go off her to let her breathe but she pulled me back and held on to me tight. I ran my fingers through her long beautiful brunette hair and made sure she felt safe.
"It's okay love, It's okay, I'm right here, You're safe." -I said worriedly as she held onto my shirt and cried on my chest.
"D-don't-" -Wanda said with her voice trembling, trying to finish the sentence.
"Don't what?"
"D-don't leav-ve... okay?"
"I won't I promise."
God I wish I had taken care of this before. Her nightmares have gotten so much worse and I can't bare to look at her suffer, it just hurts..
I hugged Wanda and suddenly I don't know what came over me but I decided to kiss her and to my surprise she kissed me back. The kiss was nothing like what I have felt before. It was different but in a good way... perhaps in an amazing way. It gave me that butterflies in my stomach feeling that I haven't felt in a while. Maybe it was because it was a girl. A first girl. I'm actually even more surprised that the first girl i had a crush on liked me back.
"Wow..." -I said afterwards, feeling speechless. She liked the kiss.
Wanda smiled, It was good to finally see her smile after all that suffering. I wiped the tears off her face and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"I like you... A lot." she stops. "I love you." -She said shyly, looking down.
I cupped her face and lifted it to face me.
"I love you too Wanda. I know it's only been two months since we've known each other but I can't help it. Every moment we've spent together, training, sharing my clothes with you, just hanging out in general.. It made me feel some type of way. It made me fall in love with you. I love your Sokovian accent and everything about you. I have heard you wake up at night multiple times and I was so worried. Every morning I could still see darkness under your eyes, no matter how much concealer you'd try to cover them with. I wish I had been with you through this journey before and helped you go through all of this, I was so stupi-"
"Don't say that! I don't want people to get involved in my problems, I was probably the reason you were awake at those times in the first place, I should be the one to feel guilty."
"No, I just have sleeping problems sometimes, it's not your fault, don't worry and don't you ever dare to feel guilty about what you're going through if you really don't want me to be worried! Promise me, okay?" -I smiled lightly, hugging her as she hugged me back.
"You're staying here tonight, right?" -Wanda asked me with her puppy eyes begging me to stay with her.
"Of course love."
I leaned back so she could sleep on my chest. and soon after I fell asleep while playing with her hair.
Wanda's POV
Nat fell asleep pretty fast and I just kept admiring her beauty until I fell asleep myself too. The amount of comfort she makes me feel is unbelivable. I've been sleeping peacefully since then with no nightmares and perfectly normal sleeping schedule.
