all the stars; scarletvision {ABANDONED}

deep and lonely

A couple of days after the adventure on the roof, Wanda and Vision had done about nothing but sit in their hotel room and make out. Once Wanda was finished laughing (which took longer than even she expected), she and Vision went back to the hotel room. Vision put the fridge back where it was and said, "As much fun as that was, I feel kind of bad for making those spiders leave their home." She glanced up and burst in hysterical laughter. She hadn't remembered laughing that much since Pietro died.

Vision smiled too, lighting up all his features. She noticed it again- despite him looking as happy as he could be, there was still something hidden underneath. She still couldn't place it, and it was driving Wanda insane. She pulled her hair up into a ponytail and asked, "What would you like to do now?" Vision quietly walked up to her and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. His face looked impassive, but his eyes roamed her face hungrily. Wanda looked up at him, straight into his bright blue eyes, swirling as her searched her. He hadn't taken off his guise, and she hadn't thought to ask him. She was too busy wondering if he was going to kiss her or not. She wrapped her arms around his waist and placed her head on his chest. She heard and felt the whirs of his mechanics. It was soothing and she wondered how anyone could get by without falling in love with androids.

Vision gently cupped her face in his hands. "You're beautiful, Wanda. I hope you know that." He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. She brought herself in closer to him, until there was no space left between their celestial bodies. She drowned in his sweet and gentle touch, savoring the taste of him. His arms wrapped around her, lifting her off the ground slightly. His lips were curving into a smile under hers and suddenly she felt the urge to laugh. The only thing she could feel from him was love for her and only that.

He gently guided her to the bed and laid down, pulling her on top of him. A small shriek of delight escaped her lips. He laughed slightly and started to kiss her again, pulling her in deeper. This lasted for a while until Wanda unwillingly pulled away, saying, "I need to sleep." It was true- it was dark outside. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand, and it told her it was almost midnight. "Of course, Wanda." She lay down and he wrapped his arms around her again. Except she didn't really feel like sleeping. Her thoughts before bed were always dark. They reminded her of everything she'd lost, and never anything she'd gained, like Vision's love. It was deep and lonely, bringing forth her memories of her parents dying, and Pietro getting shot down. She had harbored a bit of hate especially for Clint Barton after that, but it quickly disappeared as she got to know him better.

Vision held on to her tighter, sensing her fear. "It's okay. Nothing can hurt them now." For whatever reason, she felt comforted by this. Nothing could hurt them. They were in a better place. Three of the four Maximoffs gone, but unable to be hurt. Unlike her.

Wanda stayed awake a little longer before she let sleep consume her. She slept soundly through the night, and she didn't have a single nightmare. She wasn't sure why, but she suspected Vision had something to do with it. She was grateful for this, as they had contributed to many sleepless nights.

That was how their days went for a long while. They went for a walk or sat on the roof before going back to the hotel room and kissing until they couldn't anymore. It was a beautiful sort of repetition, one that she took part of wholeheartedly. She couldn't seem to get enough of Vision- it was as if her couple of weeks on the raft felt more like years.

Wanda wasn't sure what the future held for the two of them, but she loved the way it was going.
