Count Me In (The Maximoff Twins)

Short songfic of the Twins. Italics are Wanda, bold is Pietro, underlined is both. The song is Count Me In by Dove Cameron. This was written at 12-1am, So this might be terrible. I dunno, I'm tired, ok?

/////////////////////////////////////////////

The Maximoff twins were always busy. Wanda had her job at the local jewelry shop, and Pietro had his as an assistant track coach at the local high school. Though the students didn't always take him seriously, given that he was only seventeen, he still had a lot of fun with them. It probably helped that his two best friends were in the team.

But the twins always enjoyed spending time together, and they tried to figure out a way to do that. One day while Pietro was listening to the radio, he suddenly had an idea. "Hey, Wands," He'd said to his sister. "How about every time we're both home and this song comes on, we stop what we're doing and just sing and goof off."

Wanda had laughed, but agreed, and Pietro had pulled her close, enforcing the new rule right then.

A few months later, Pietro got home from work. They'd managed to scrounge up enough money with their jobs to afford a cramped, one bedroom apartment. They didn't mind the small space, though. He walked to their bedroom. It was sparsely furnished, with just a small dresser, and bedside table, and the full sized bed the twins shared.

Wanda had the laundry basket on the bed, and she was folding their few outfits. Pietro kissed her forehead. "Wanda," He whined.

"Pietro," Wanda whined back.

"Come on, laundry is boring! Let's do something fun!"

"I'm busy! Maybe later, bratr."

Pietro pouted. Then he caught the radio playing a familiar tune. He beamed, lowering his mouth to Wanda's ear. "If I'm the sun, then you're the moon."

Wanda folded one of his shirts, but she indulged him by singing the next line. "If you're the words, then I'm the tune, yeah."

"If you're the heart, then I'm the beat."

"Somehow together we're complete, yeah." Wanda set the neatly folded shirt down and Pietro grabbed her hand, leading her to the middle of the room.

"There are times my world is crumbling and the rain is crashing down. But, everywhere you are the sun comes out." Pietro spun her around.

"Even when you're gone, I feel you close. You'll always be the one I love the most. In my heart, on my mind, you are underneath my skin. And anywhere, anytime that you need anything, count me in. Count me in. Count me in, yeah."

Pietro's hands found their way to Wanda's waist and hip. Her arms wrapped around his neck. They both relaxed. They never felt more comfortable than when they were with each other.

Their parents said that it was because they were the same soul in two bodies, and the soul wanted to be together again. They slow danced to the song, without a worry or a care.

"But I don't need to say a word, no. Cuz you know when I'm happy and when I'm hurt."

"We're as close as pages in a book. You make me feel better with just one look."

"There are times my world is crumbling, and the rain is crashing down. But everywhere you are, the sun comes out.

"Even when you're gone, I feel you close. You'll always be the one I love the most. In my heart, on my mind, you are underneath my skin. And anywhere, anytime that you need anything, count me in. Count me in. Count me in, yeah, yeah."

Wanda smiled at the memory that the song playing on the radio brought back as she stared at Pietro's picture. The twins with their parents. They were so young then, and carefree. 'But nothing lasts forever,' She thought, her smile becoming more rueful.

"Cuz we're two halves of the same heart, that beats to our own drum. You're the shadow always by my side." A tear dropped from her eye as she quietly sang the words. "One that sometimes knows me better than I know myself. And I wish that you were here with me tonight."

She clutched the picture to her chest. "Even when you're gone, I feel you close. You'll always be the one I love the most. In my heart, on my mind, you are underneath my skin. And anywhere, anytime that you need anything, count me in, yeah, yeah. Count me in. Count me in."

Wanda curled into a tight ball, quietly sobbing. Oh, how she missed her brother.
