Scarlet Vision

Awkward love

Everything Wanda did after what Thor had discussed with her has been awkward. She awkwardly fed Violet, she awkwardly cooked some meals, she awkwardly blushed when she looked at Vision.
           Biting on her lip she caressed Violets tabby fur, "Oh what am I going to do?" She whispered silently.
         The tabby looked at her, her small whiskers twitching while she meowed back a response. Wanda smiled lightly, "If only I knew cat."
         Vision walked into her room, not looking at her. "Um... Wanda would y-you like some dinner?"
        "Yes please," Wanda breathed as she looked away from the handsome super hero.
         He turned and briskly strode out of her room, his hands nervously twitching. This feeling, like in flying, it's... not going away. Is it really love? I still don't think I can love... can I? Surely not, Vision pondered while he got out some ingredients.

Wanda, very quietly, crept out of her room and into the kitchen. She felt like a school girl who always was nervous near her crush. She shook her head, Cmon Wanda, be brave! She stood by the counter in the kitchen, keeping silent as she watched Vision cook.
         "Hello Wanda, I'm not done yet," He said as he continued to cook.
          "I see..." She spoke softly, pulling one of her hands to her cheeks.
        "I'll have to make a lot due to the fact that Thor eats a excessively large amount of food," Vision informed her, "so it may take a while."
         Wanda nodded, "Um... Vis..." She started.
         "Yes Wanda?" The Vision turned slightly towards her, peeking at her from the corner of his eye.
           "Um..." I-I kinda like you... She thought, I just don't know how to say it to you... "Have you ever felt love?" Damn it Wanda, you screwed it up.
         "..." Vision was startled by the question, he stopped what he was doing, I'm not sure why she would ask that... "Wanda," He tried to say something, but could barely speak, "I'm not sure I can even feel love."
         "Why not?" Wanda questioned.
        "I'm not exactly human Wanda, so I don't know what love feels like," He explained to her.
         "Oh well," Wanda knew she had to explain, "it's like when you have a strong feeling of happiness near someone. And only that specific someone can give you that certain feeling of true and total joy. It feels like you've been launched into the air, like your flying, or if your on a rollercoaster."
        "So... like the feeling of the change on force of gravity on your organs?"
        Well if you want to make it fancy... She chuckled, "Yeah."
         "Your laugh is so-" Vision stopped himself, I can't say cute. That would make her feel awkward, "refreshing. It's nice to hear that your having fun."
          Wanda felt a needle of happiness jab at her heart, he really cares about me, Wanda smiled softly, "I shouldn't distract you from your cooking." She politely walked away and sat at the table, very patiently waiting.

Vision looked at himself in the mirror, then turned towards the clock, it's pretty late for me to be up, normal humans need at least 7-8 hours of sleep. But... I'm not a normal human. Vision thought carefully about what Wanda had said earlier, A pure feeling of happiness, He looked back at the mirror and thought of Wanda laughing. He smiled at himself at the image, it makes me happy to see you happy Wanda. That's all I want, I want you to be joyful. I want you to enjoy yourself. His smiled slightly faded, and... i hope I make you happy, I don't want to disappoint you. Just imagining Wanda feeling disappointed in him made him stop smiling.
          "Why...?" He looked at his hands as he sat down in the floor. I want to hold her, I want to feel her skin against mine, I want to see her smile at me, to see her laugh at a joke I make. Is this... love? Is this what she was describing? It's so... fluffy... and bouncy yet anxious and self conscious.
         "I just..." Vision felt the heat of anger boil in his chest, "I don't understand!" He sighed, exasperated, "I'm a computer, I should understand. I have the knowledge of millions at my finger tips. I can answer almost every question in the blink of a eye."
         "Are... you ok Vis?"
         That voice... "Wanda...?"
         "Yes, you're being a little noisy." Wanda smiled softly, "Is everything alright?"
         "No, I'm sorry to wake you Wanda," Vision worried, "I didn't mean to disturb you."
          "Nah, back when Pietro was alive he always kicked in his sleep. He woke me up almost every night with his little kicks," Wanda plopped down next to Vision, "Kick kick kick kick!" She demonstrated by wiggling her fingers around, "One night I woke him and told him to stop kicking me. He told me he didn't mean to and did it unconsciously because of how much he loved to run. 'You must love running so much you dream about it!' I said to him, 'Maybe you should marry it if you love it that much!' he didn't like it when I made that joke, But he laughed anyways..." She trailed off.
          Vision chuckled, "Marry running? How would that work."
         "I'm not sure!" Wanda laughed back, "But what's your problem? You seemed really upset."
         "Well..." Vision didn't know how to continue, How do I say I love her? Why do I feel so nervous? "Um... I always get this weird feeling when I'm with you Wanda. And the way you explained love before, I think I may... i may..." He choked on his words, unable to finish.
         Wanda's eyes popped open, "You... love me?"
         Vision nodded, glad to finally have it out there, "Yes I believe so."
         Wanda thought about this, "I think I love you too, Vis." She intertwined her fingers with his, feeling his skin. They sat there for a while, before they both drifted into sleep.
