108. Mountain Retreat - Wanda x female reader (Marvel)

The winding mountain road stretched ahead, flanked by towering pines laden with snow. Y/N navigated the car carefully, the soft crunch of snow under the tires punctuating the steady hum of the engine. Beside her, Wanda Maximoff gazed out of the window, her breath creating delicate patterns on the glass.

The silence between them was comfortable, broken only by the occasional exchange of glances and the serene beauty of their surroundings. Not able to control herself, Y/N would steal glances at Wanda, captivated by the way the winter sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a gentle glow on her features. Wanda's usually intense expression softened in the tranquil surroundings, her eyes reflecting a mix of anticipation and quiet contentment.

As they rounded a bend, the cabin emerged from the forest, a quaint structure nestled against a backdrop of frosted peaks. Y/N parked the car in front of the cabin, the engine cutting off with a final sigh. They both stepped out into the crisp mountain air, the cold biting at their cheeks and noses.

"It's perfect," Y/N murmured, more to herself than to Wanda, though she nodded in agreement, a faint smile gracing her lips.

Wanda turned to the woman beside her and said, "Thank you for suggesting this retreat. I didn't realize how much I needed a break until now." Her eyes sparkling with gratitude and something deeper.

Y/N grinned warmly, a surge of affection swelling in her chest. "We both needed it," she replied softly, meeting Wanda's gaze with a shared understanding that spoke volumes more than words ever could.

Together, they gathered their belongings, with the promise of a peaceful escape hanging in the chilly air. As they approached the cabin door, Y/N reached out, holding it open for Wanda with a small gesture that felt surprisingly intimate amidst the quiet serenity of the mountains.

Wanda's smile widened, her eyes holding a silent appreciation for Y/N's thoughtful gesture of opening the door. With a nod of thanks, she stepped inside, followed closely by Y/N, who closed the door behind them against the winter's chill.

Inside, the cabin welcomed them with warmth that embraced their chilled bodies. The air carried the faint scent of pine, mingling with the crackling of a fire in the stone fireplace. Cozy furnishings beckoned them to unwind—a plush sofa adorned with knitted blankets, a wooden dining table set with candles flickering softly, and shelves lined with books and trinkets that spoke of a welcoming touch.

"Someone must have prepared the cabin for our arrival," Y/N observed, glancing around with a smile.

Wanda nodded, her eyes scanning the room appreciatively. "It seems so," she replied, her voice tinged with gratitude. "It's thoughtful."

"It really is," Y/N agreed, setting down her bag beside the door. "I'm glad we decided to come here."

Wanda nodded in quiet agreement, her gaze drawn to the fireplace, where flames danced hypnotically. "It's been a while since I've been somewhere so peaceful," she admitted, her voice soft yet filled with sincerity.

Y/N moved closer, sensing Wanda's reflective mood. "You deserve this," she said gently, placing a hand on Wanda's arm. "After everything, a moment to just... be, is important."

As Wanda stood by the fireplace, its warmth casting a gentle glow on her features, she turned to Y/N with a soft smile. "Thank you," she murmured, her voice carrying a blend of gratitude and vulnerability.

Y/N returned Wanda's smile, her heart swelling with affection for the woman beside her. "You're welcome," she replied sincerely, her hand lingering on Wanda's arm before gently withdrawing. "Why don't you get yourself comfy while I pack our stuff out?"
