Connected... {A Scarlet Vision Fanfic}

The Quiet of Evening

(Wanda's POV)

I couldn't wipe the smile off my face after my recent interaction with Vision. I was supposed to be asleep hours before, but I couldn't help the blush on my cheeks, or the buzzing that had inhabited my brain. My mind spun every time I thought of our kiss.

I also couldn't help but reprimand myself for acting like a helpless schoolgirl. But Vision was so unlike anything or anyone I had ever encountered, and I couldn't help but feel we were a well-sorted match. I knew it was ridiculous, we had only just expressed our intentions toward each other.

My recklessness took over (as it had a tendency to do) and I left the medical bed I was confined to. I quickly dressed in a simple warm nightdress, but despite the attire my feet were left uncovered, and when my feet hit the tiles I shuddered with cold. Then, I began to quietly leave the hospital room where I was staying. 

I wandered the halls aimlessly, my bare feet making soft noises against the cool tile flooring. It was impeccably quiet, so much so, that I almost screamed when Vis came up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder. I gasped from the fright, which soon faded into a light laugh. I pulled myself closer to him.

"You're scared me." I said, wrapping my arms around him.

"I apologize." He said, as he returned the gesture.

We both gazed at each other, blissfully happy that our feelings were mutual. I leaned into the hug, resting my head on his chest. I could feel my tiredness overtaking me, and my eyes closed slowly.

I could tell what he was about to do and immediately stopped him. "Vision, don't you dare!"

He laughed at me.

"What?" He grinned sweetly.

"You were going to pick me up! I swear when I'm around you my feet never touch the ground!" I said with a laugh. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, just so he knew I wasn't truly angry with him; rather, amused.

"I apologize." He repeated. He leaned in and kissed me on the lips quickly.

"Don't." I assured. "It's perfectly fine." I  couldn't help the never-fading smile that always seemed to cross my features now. Dr. List was gone. We were safe. I was in love.

Wait... Did I just think that?

My smile was replaced with a rather surprised look.

It's much too early to love him... Right?

But our circumstances are abnormal, so it makes sense we could develop feelings so fast...

But weren't they just feelings?

No...

They are much more than that.

I had no concept of time, I just knew that Vis, and I had been up for hours talking into the late hours of the night. The last I remembered we were cuddling together on a couch, talking about his ability to feel love.

I woke up in his arms, we had fallen asleep in the same position as we were in my most recent recollection of the previous night. Seeing Vision was actually asleep, I laid back down, and made myself comfortable again. I didn't spate a thought as to what time it was when I fell back into sleep.

A stark contrast to the peaceful oblivion that Vision and I were in, I was awoken by Russian yelling.

"Wanda?!" Came my brother's thundering voice.

"Pietro?" I called cautiously. I was concerned about the reasoning behind his outburst. He walked into the living room-type space that Vision and I were in. I quickly distanced myself from Vision's embrace. Though, I couldn't be sure what Pietro had or hadn't seen.

"Where were you?! What happened?!"

"I was here, and nothing happened." I replied as calmly as I could. "I just needed to get out of that room." I added quietly.

"I was so worried! I came to wake you, and you were gone!"

"I'm fine Pietro."

He then looked skeptically between Vision and I, but didn't say anything about our closeness. But I assumed that Pietro already knew about my feelings towards Vision, due to our mental connection, and sibling intuition.

"Can we talk, Pietro?" I asked gently, leading him back into the room where I was supposed to be.

He took a few deep breaths before speaking. "You know..." He paused, closed the door and began to pace. "You know he isn't human right?" He asked cautiously.

"Neither are we Pietro."

"Wanda..." He took a deep breath, as if he was preparing himself for something. "Do you love him?"

"I-I-I... I think so." I wrung My hands nervously in front of myself, contemplating my feelings toward him. "Yes." I said a little more confidently this time.

Pietro sighed deeply. "Does he love  you back?"

"I don't know."

"I don't want you getting hurt, Wanda." He said while wrapping his arms around me.

"I know Pietro. You've made yourself very clear." I said dryly.

"My baby sister-"

"- only 12 minutes, Pietro."

"You're in love, and you're grown up. It's scary."

"Ah, yes the horror of caring for someone." I teased.

We walked out of the room together, and I made my way toward Vision. Who was watching the entrance to the room quite nervously, but brightened when we both emerged rather happily.

"How did things go?" He asked.

"Good." I said as I reached for his hand.

"Wanda," he paused. "I'm rather embarrassed to admit I'm rather confused as to where I stand with you. I know we enjoy each other's company, your thoughts told me as much..." He trailed off, unsure if he should continue.

"I don't really know." I admitted, unable to keep a smile off my face. He pulled me closer to him, I placed my hands on his chest, feeling for his heartbeat. He took my face in his hands, and kissed me sweetly.

A wolf whistle sounded behind us, and we quickly broke apart to find a laughing Tony.

"Morning, lovebirds." He teased.

I could feel a warm blush spread across my cheeks before sheepishly replying.

"Morning,"

Sorry this took so long... I've been crazy busy. I think this book will be ending soon, the plot line I had planned already played out, and all that's left to write is fluff. Also, I haven't really been inspired to do anything Scarlet Vision related.

So let me know if there's something you really want to see happen. There will probably be one more short fluffy chapter, and then the ending.

Also do you guys want an epilogue, that takes place later in their relationship?

Let me know in the comments!

Love, arielinarial
