all the stars; scarletvision {ABANDONED}

ice cream and lollipops

Vision had completely lost track of time. It was honestly ridiculous, really. He was an evolving superbot- you'd think he'd always know the time and the date, right down to the second. But around Wanda, it wasn't something he though about often. So when it hit him he'd been with her for a little over a month, it came as a bit of a shock. It was as if time was a fluid thing, and it never seemed to slow down or even stop as it often did when he was with the other Avengers. He was always counting the minutes he could finally be alone with Wanda while training or doing other such things. But in Edinburgh, Vision was always with her, and time was no longer a problem.

He found himself mulling over it. Time. How simple but drastic it was. Time, that was always controlling people. Time, something that people feared they didn't have enough of. Time, that could run out for you in a matter of seconds. He subconsciously wrapped his arm around Wanda, who was sleeping. She shifted slightly but didn't wake. A light smile tugged at the corners of his lips, but it quickly faded. A month since he'd last abandoned Tony Stark. A couple of months since he fought against Wanda, and paid the price for it.

"It wasn't your fault, Vizhe. You can stop beating yourself up about it." He looked down with a small jerk. Wanda's wide brown eyes were staring up at him, full of concern. He hadn't realized that he had waked her, nor that he was letting his thoughts and feelings flow over to her unchecked. "I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?" She shook her head and sat up, placing her head on Vision's shoulder. "Sleep well?" she asked, struggling to hide a smile. she had told him that joke everyday, and she still didn't think it was old. Vision didn't either, and if he did, he wouldn't have the heart to tell her. "Of course I did, Wanda. An android needs his beauty sleep." He grinned widely at her as the sun started to rise, bathing her face in a pale orange light.

Lightly kissing her forehead, Vision started to get up. Over the course of the month (he still was trying to wrap his head around it), they had come up with a diverse food supply for Wanda. They have also almost rented out the hotel room. The owner of the hotel was slightly suspicious of them, but a little work from Wanda made sure that they went away. He went over to the fridge, which was now fully operational, and got an apple for her. He tossed it over to her and she caught it with one hand, watching the sunrise. Vision looked up and saw a happy spider family making a web between the rafters of the ceiling. He was glad he didn't kill them.

Wanda took a bite from the apple and said, "There's something I want to do today, Vizhe." Vision glanced down at her before moving over to sit next to her. "And what's that?" She sat up, nibbling on her apple. He had noticed that she visibly ate less, and it was slightly concerning in his book. But she said she was fine, and he decided not to contradict her. "There's an ice cream parlor down the street that we haven't been to yet. I'd like to go there." Vision frowned, slightly surprised at her request. "Well...okay then. Of course." She smiled up at him. "I think there's a candy shop next to it. We can gorge on ice cream and lollipops! Think about it." Vision smiled, playing with the words in his head. Ice cream and lollipops.

Wanda got up and started to undress. He respectfully averted his eyes when she said, "We're already sharing a bed together, Vision. We can see each other naked." Almost reluctantly, he raises his eyes. Wanda's frame is even smaller with no clothes on, and her ribs seem even more prominent. She was all light and beauty, even with her small flaws. He couldn't get enough. She started to dress and he looked away again, slightly ashamed.

Soon they were ready to go, and Vision placed his hologram over himself. It was starting to get colder out, so Wanda had put on a light jacket. He quickly changed his appearance to accommodate as they made their way to the parlor. It wasn't far away. It's name was Scoop's Creamery and it looked very nice. Wanda pushed open to door and she walked in, a wide smile on her face. She walked straight to a wide case filled with different flavors. Vision walked over and marveled how many there were, while she knew exactly what she wanted. She told the man over the counter that she wanted coffee flavored ice cream with chocolate and caramel drizzled on top. As he scooped it, she turned to him excitedly, like she was five years old. "This is going to be amazing! Oh, and you're going to try it too." He was slightly taken aback. "You know I can't taste anything...." she gave him a secretive look and said, "I know."

The man hands her the ice cream, which is in a bowl. She grabs two spoons and walks over to a table. He picks up his pace and gets to it before her, pushing her chair out for her. She smiles at him and sits down. She puts down the ice cream and hands him a spoon as he sits down. He furrows his brow. "Wanda, I..." "Shut up and get some ice cream." He picked up his spoon and dug up some of the ice cream. Wanda did too, then put her hand over his. "Now." He put the spoon in his mouth at the same time as her.

At first it was just cold. He tasted nothing. Suddenly, a bitter-sweet flavor filled his mouth. It was coffee. Then more bitter, and more sweet along with the coffee that brought more depth to it. It was creamy and smooth and suddenly he wanted actual coffee. It was magical. It was almost as good as kissing her. He looked up in disbelief and saw that she was laughing-crying, tears leaking out of her eyes. "Nice to know I'm ranking," she said, gasping for breath. Vision broke out into a laugh, and knew that from now on, Wanda would taste like coffee-flavored ice cream.
