It was a sunny and hot...very hot day at the 'Avengers' Compound. For once in a very long time, there were no plans for the heroes and Tony declared it a pool day. They spent the whole day at the pool with drinks, music, food, and much more. That included watching Sam almost kill himself over a dare that Tony set for him to hold his breath for five minutes. Being determined to do so, he held his head underwater for way longer than his body could handle and almost drowned. Steve had to save him, and Pepper scolded Tony while everyone else laughed (even though Sam was sputtering water everywhere). Steve allowed Sam to order pizza which he quickly cheered up (as did everyone else).
Wanda, although she was hesitant, allowed herself to get in the water. Being homeless on the streets of Sokovia and then taken into Hydra to be a lab rat didn't exactly give her a chance to learn how to swim or come close to a body of water. After a lot of convincing from Natasha (and promises of cuddles), Wanda let Nat, Peter, and Steve teach her how to swim. She learned the basic steps and then would swim various distances to Nat who gave her kisses as a reward which made Steve smirk and Peter blush.
By the end of the day, Wanda's limbs were exhausted. As the sun was setting, Wanda had wrapped herself like a koala around Natasha's front, her legs circling her waist, her arms thrown around her neck, and her head settling against the redhead's collarbones. Natasha took them in laps around the deep end with her hand drawing circles on Wanda's bare skin as she hummed a Russian lullaby. She felt completely at peace with the love of her life secure in her arms. Every once in a while, she felt Wanda place sleepy kisses on her neck before snuggling back into her. When the sun was almost completely down and Wanda began to shiver because of the cold water, Nat decided that it was time to go to bed.
She gently got them over the entrance of the pool and stepped out without removing her girlfriend from her arms. She went over to Tony, Steve, Sam, and Clint, the only other people who were still outside drinking beers.
"You guys are so cute I'm going to throw up," Sam said, taking another sip from his beer, and making Natasha blush.
"We're gonna head up. I think this one is pretty much knocked out," Nat smirked, referring to the almost sleeping beauty in her arms.
"Alright. Have a good night," Steve told her, Clint agreeing.
"Yeah, but just not too good. The rest of us want to get sleep tonight," Tony joked, making the others snort. Nat glared at him. Unbeknownst to Tony, Wanda moved her fingers, red wisps emerging from them, and with a quick movement, Tony's beer lifted from his hand.
"Hey! What the-" Tony exclaimed. He was quickly cut off when he felt the cool, sticky substance on his back, causing him to yelp. The others watched the scene before dying laughing. Natasha chuckled and placed a kiss on Wanda's head.
"That's our cue," Nat said, bidding them all one last goodnight before making her way up to their room.
She made it to their room- well, Nat's room- and placed Wanda down on the bed, causing her to pout at the lack of her heat source.
"Tasha m' cold," she whined. Nat laughed at her girlfriend, placing a chaste kiss on her pouty lips.
"I know, detka. Just a few more minutes and we can go to sleep." Wanda huffed and placed her arms around herself in hopes of warming herself up.
Natasha went through her closet before finding a light sweatshirt of hers for Wanda as well as a new pair of underwear that hadn't been worn yet. She went over to her tired girlfriend. "Arms up, baby," she gently told her, giggling as Wanda lazily raised her arms. Nat took off Wanda's bathing suit top and slipped on the sweatshirt in replacement. Wanda smiled at the newly found warmth. Nat gave her the underwear for her to put on and put on clothes for herself. Undressing themselves for them never had to be sexual. They were both aware of how beautiful the other one's body was and they showed that love in many different ways, but it never had to go further than removing their clothes.
Once they were done, Nat went and grabbed a brush and hair ties before returning behind Wanda and began brushing her hair out and braiding it and did the same to hers. With some effort, Nat managed to get Wanda to stand up to brush her teeth. However, as they were doing so, Nat noticed that Wanda was falling asleep, causing toothpaste to escape her mouth. Natasha almost choked on her spit as she started laughing. She quickly spit out the remaining toothpaste and made her way to help the younger woman.
"Baby, here," Nat said, taking the toothbrush from Wanda and finishing brushing her teeth. She took her hand and guided her to the bed where Wanda practically flopped onto it. Nat got her under the covers, placing a kiss on her forehead. Wanda made grabby hands at Natasha.
"Tasha...cuddles."
"I'm coming, my love," Nat told her, making her way over to her side of the bed and lying down next to Wanda who immediately rolled over and threw herself on top of her girlfriend. Nat wrapped her arms tightly around Wanda, placing kisses all over her hair. Wanda hummed, cuddling closer (if that was even possible).
"Night night, Tasha. I love you," Wanda mumbled against her neck before falling completely into sleep.
"I love you so much, Wands. Sweet dreams," Nat whispered with one last kiss to her forehead before drifting off into a deep slumber.
