Side Effects

Wanda Maximoff x Fem!Reader

Y/N has never been good at making smart decisions.

She sells drugs. Parties too hard. Falls for trouble and calls it fun. So when Pietro Maximoff comes back into her life after nearly a year away, falling for him feels like just another bad idea.

Except Pietro is everything she shouldn't want.

He remembers the little things. Makes her laugh. Keeps up with her chaos without trying to tame it. And somehow, the boy she used to kiss casually becomes the boyfriend she can't imagine losing.

Then there's Wanda.

Y/N's best friend. Her safe place. Her person. The girl whose clothes live in Y/N's closet, whose hand she finds in the dark, and whose presence has always felt a little too much like home.

Y/N thinks she can have both.

The boy who makes her heart race.

The girl who has owned it for years.

She's wrong.

Because sometimes your best friend becomes the person you can't stop wanting.

And sometimes getting what you want means hurting someone who never deserved it.

Love doesn't always ruin you.

Sometimes, it's the side effect.
