Our New Family (Stucky)

Chapter Eight

Wanda finished putting on her mascara before nodding in satisfaction. She walked out of her bathroom into the bedroom.

Bucky wolf whistled.

"Beautiful!" Steve praised.

Wanda giggled.

"Twirl for me, darling!" Bucky said.

Wanda spun in a circle.

"Perfect!"

"You're gonna knock Peter off his feet," Steve added.

"Good." Wanda grinned.

"Now, he'll be here in five minutes, Steve and I are gonna go wait for him in the living room, you wait here."

Wanda nodded. She started pacing around after they headed to the living room. She was anxious. No, she was far beyond anxious. She felt like she might faint from the panic. What if Peter changed his mind? What if she didn't look pretty enough? What if she overdressed? What if-

"Wandie, sweetie, come in here!" Steve called.

Wanda gulped, walking into the living room.

Peter's eyes went wide at the sight of her. "Wow, Wanda. I-I... you look gorgeous!"

"Thanks." Wanda blushed.

"Now, scat, lovebirds," Bucky shooed them out.

Once Wanda and Peter were settled in one of Tony's Cadillacs (chauffeured by Happy, of course). Happy dropped them off at a nice restaurant, promising to pick them up from the movie theater at 11:30.

After they'd been seated and their sodas brought, Wanda gave Peter a look. "What did they tell you?"

Peter laughed uneasily. "Oh, nothing much. Steve just threatened to kill me if I hurt or touched you in any way while Bucky cleaned his literal big guns."

Wanda sighed.

A waiter came up and took their order. He was clearly checking Wanda out. Peter glared at him.

Wanda noticed this. "I wonder if my dads would let you get away with this." She took his hand from across the table.

Peter smiled and the waiter frowned. As if he had a chance. Wanda was literally on a date. The waiter left, headed to the kitchen.

"So, what movie do you want to see?" Peter asked.

"I don't know what's even an option," Wanda laughed.

"One of the local theaters shows two movies that are at least a couple years old for like a dollar every week in the summer. I think this week's movies are Inside Out and the 2014 Godzilla."

"A friend of mine saw the Godzilla one. She said that it was weird cuz the main couple looked weirdly like me and my brother."

"Huh." Peter thought about it. "They do, actually. That would be weird. You seen Inside Out?"

"I don't even know what that is."

Peter gasped. He pulled out his phone, typing something. He handed it to her. "Put on the earbuds and watch the trailer."

Wanda watched it, giggling every now and then. She handed back the phone when it was over.

"So?" Peter asked.

"Seems pretty good, actually."

"It's great. Shall we see it?"

"I think we shall."
