A loud, uncensored laugh sounds from the woman beside you. The bright smile on her face matches the joyous sound that tumbles from her lips continuously.

You can’t help but watch her with a smile on your own face. Despite all the people walking by on the sidewalk not too far from you, she laughs as loud as she wants. She doesn’t care about their curious gazes that pan over to her.

The two of you currently sit on a blanket at the park, both of your favorite snacks and drinks spread out around you as one of Wanda’s favorite sitcoms plays on your laptop.

This is one of the many hangouts the two of you have had. After she came to see you a few weeks ago she has given you the chance to fix your friendship and you’ve taken it.

Whenever she had the time to leave the compound to come see you and hangout, you pulled something together. Be it a night out to see a movie or have dinner or go skating, or if it was just coffee, breakfast at your place, or a picnic. No matter what the two of you did, you had fun and your friendship repaired itself and you’ve loved every moment of it.

You missed Wanda a lot and being so close to her again just reminded you of that. It also gave you both a chance to become closer than you ever were, in ways you never had.

Of course, the first time you were close to her you were in a relationship with Natasha so you didn’t do certain things. Now though, there’s no girlfriend in the picture. You found that that made you and Wanda feel free to cuddle when you watched movies, or hold hands as you walked through the park.

You’d be lying if you said you didn’t like it. You like everything you do with Wanda. You like Wanda. She’s amazing in every way you could think of and then some. You couldn’t describe the way she made you feel. It was all good things and that was something that would’ve left you worried before, but not so much this time.

The buzzing of your phone pulls you from your thoughts. Looking at the screen, you give an almost bittersweet smile.

It’s from Steve, in your group chat with Bucky. It’s Saturday, the Cubs are playing against the Dodgers. Your favorite baseball team against theirs. Steven and Bucky are both texting inning by inning updates, doing their best to keep you involved. It’s sweet really.

“They miss you a lot, you know.”

Your gaze snaps up from your phone to Wanda. She’s giving you a soft knowing look and you sigh.“ I know they do, and I miss them too. I just- I don’t know if I’m ready to go back.”

Wanda chuckles a little, attention no longer on the show but on you,“ you don’t have to be completely ready because you don’t have to come back to live there. Just stop by and see everyone.” The smile she gives is almost enough to completely convince you.

“I’ll think about it.” She pouts a little and you stumble over your thoughts and words, your brain seemingly frying at how fucking adorable she is.“ Wands don’t look at me like that.” You slap a hand over your eyes.

She giggles and her fingers slip around the hand you have on your face.“ You can’t cover your eyes, that’s cheating. You have to look at the pout.” She playfully whines.

“Nooo, you will not use your powers to persuade me.” You joke, falling back to get away from her trying to move your hand.

“I don’t need to use my powers to persuade you,” she moves to straddle you without even thinking,“ if you would just,” both her hands grab your wrists,“ look at me.” She finally pulls your hand from your eyes, holding both of your hands down against your stomach, bright green eyes looking into yours.

There’s a pause of silence as you look at each other. A little tension rises, then you smile.“ This is cheating to the highest degree.” You mumble, but she hears you.

Her eyebrows raise expectantly and you sigh.

“Fine,” you groan and look away from her,“ I’ll stop in and see everyone when I drop you off later.”

She pouts again. Letting your hands go, then lowering herself to lay on you, her head resting on your chest.“ But I wanted to spend the night.”

Wrapping your arms around her, you place a kiss on the top of her head.“ You can still spend the night. I’ll just go by the compound some other time.”

“No,” she pushes herself up and looks pointedly at you,“ we can still go today. I know you’ll talk yourself out of it.” With that she moves off of you, refinding her spot on the blanket.

You watch her for a moment, heart and stomach still fluttering from what just happened. In recent weeks you’ve felt like this. Whenever she touches you everything lights up. Her smile gives you butterflies. Her words make your heart soar.

These feelings are familiar to you, reminiscent of how you felt with Natasha. That’s one of the reasons you haven’t said anything to Wanda about how you feel. You’re scared. Scared she might not feel the same way, scared she might hurt you, scared you might hurt her.

But god, you think you love her.

Wanda’s eyes widen a little, a blush rising on her cheeks at the thought she just heard from you. She wasn’t trying to listen but you’d practically screamed it.

You scoot closer to her, wrapping your arm around her shoulders and pulling her into your side. Butterflies erupt in her stomach as you kiss her temple. These actions after the thought you had speaks volumes.

The two of you remain like that for the next hour: Wanda cuddled into your side with your arm around her, occasional bites and sips of food and your drinks, and nothing but laughs and smiles.

After that you clean your things up, pack them into bags, then leave. Wanda immediately turns the radio on once she’s in the passenger seat of your car. That carefree look remains on her face during the ride, her voice floating through the air of the car. You maintain a similar aura, until you pull onto the compound grounds.

The drive down the graveled path leaves you gripping the steering wheel. Until soft fingers glide over your wrist and pull one hand down. Wanda’s fingers intertwine with yours.

“It’s okay. You’re just seeing friends.” She whispers.

You nod, taking a deep breath as you park, then kill the engine and get out. Walking around you open the door for Wanda, then follow her into the compound.

Surprisingly, it’s pretty quiet. Wanda told you about Peter, Kate, and Yelena moving into the compound so you thought that alone would increase the noise level by a lot. Instead, you don’t hear sounds until you get into the private common room on the second floor.

Cheers sound from the sitting area and you can’t help the way your lips curve into a slight smile.

“2 to 1, looks about right.” You say as you stop behind the couch.

Steve and Bucky freeze, both men slowly turning to look at you. Your smile turns guilty and you wave briefly.

“Go Cubs.” You fist pump and suddenly both men laugh. Steve is quick to hop up from the couch and walks around to you. His arms stretch out and you accept the hug.

With ease he lifts you up and you can’t help but laugh, patting his back as he softly squeezes you.“ I missed you kid.”

“I missed you too Stevie.” You smile as he sets you down, then turn to Bucky who walked over.“ Buck, long time no see.”

Bucky surprises you by hugging you. He’d never be affectionate with you, or anyone really other than Steve. So this hug definitely shows how much he missed you.

“It’s really good to see you.” He smiles brightly at you, squeezing your shoulder gently.

“You too, I missed you.” A slightly somber expression crosses your face.“ I owe you both an apology for-”

“Don’t even go there.” Steve shakes his head.“ I do wish you’d said something but I completely understand why you left.”

Bucky nods as well, moving to lean against the back of the couch.“ I agree. You had some things to figure out and work through. Since you’re here I’m going to assume you did that and that things are better.”

You nod,“ I did yeah. Took some time but I figured it out.” You can’t even stop yourself from looking over at Wanda, who’s green eyes are already on you.“ And things are much much better.”

She smiles, lowering her gaze and brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

“So,” you look away and clap,“ where is everyone? I heard Kate and Yelena live here now.”

“Right,” Steve nods then looks up at the ceiling,“ JARVIS, can you notify everyone that Y/n is here?”

JARVIS responds with a “right away Captain” and goes quiet. The four of you sit down and you catch up with your two favorite super soldiers. Wanda can’t help but adore how happy you look just from being around them again.

For a moment you all look at the tv, focusing on the baseball game. You, Steve, and Bucky make play-by-play commentary on the game and you mix that with explaining parts of it to Wanda, who is much more interested in what you have to say than the actual game itself.

The game moves from the third inning into the fourth before everyone starts coming in. The first person being Natasha.

Your eyes involuntarily widen as you see her. She looks different. She’s a little more toned than you remember her being and her had been long red hair is shorter, reminiscent of how it looked when she first became an Avenger.

She stops beside the tv, fingers twitching at her side in an obviously nervous way.“ Hi.” She practically whispers.

You stand and her eyebrows almost pinch together.“ Hey, how are you?” You ask, taking a small step towards her.

“I um, I’m okay.” She nods, eyes filled with slight shock.“ How’re you?”

“I’m good. It’s good to see you.” You smile at her, not missing the way her breath hitches.

You weren’t sure why and you couldn’t read her mind. If you could, you'd know it was because of your smile. She’d truly missed seeing it, she missed you in general, but she hadn’t seen such a genuine smile on your face since the two of you dated.

As has become common for her, she finds herself feeling a great deal of self-loathing, knowing she’s the reason you stopped smiling so happily.

She could never forgive herself for the pain she caused, for being the reason you had to leave.

Her thoughts are interrupted by a soft hand on her arm. She follows the hand to you, an equally soft look in your eyes.

“You mind if we talk later?” You ask her and she nods.

Whatever she was about to say is cut short by the new presences in the room. Peter, Yelena, Kate, and Sam come into the room.

Sam is shocked and also happy to see you here.

Peter and Kate are excitedly happy to see you, pulling you into tight hugs. Yelena gives you a small, friendly smirk. And Sam can’t do anything but nod to you.

It’s a lot to take in, admittedly, but you do because you know it’s all love. Everyone expresses how much they truly missed you, how happy they are to see you, and they all take turns filling you in on what you’ve missed.

Kate and Yelena’s pranks have continued, Peter has been working closer with Tony, and there have been a lot of missions. The three new additions to the team have taken each of their new missions in stride, performing above averagely.

You can’t help but acknowledge how much you missed this, everyone’s voices seeming to blend together, all the love and friendliness in the room. You’re happy you came.

Everyone wants to do something now that you’re there and you go along with it, knowing you’ve been gone for a very long time and the least you can do is entertain their requests. You watch movies, play games, participate in a dare or two, spar with Yelena(she kicks your ass), and finish watching the game with Steve and Bucky. All in all you have fun, even managing to steal a second to speak with Sam.

He apologizes and you accept. You were done letting that situation affect you and you wanted him to be done hating himself for it. Along with getting closure with him, you also wanted to speak with Natasha. It took some time before you were able to be alone with her though.

After all the day's activities, laughter and good times shared between everyone, that chance finally comes. Everyone splits up to do their own thing, finally satisfied with the time they spent with you. Wanda tells you she’ll be back soon and goes to pack a bag for tonight.

That’s when you take a chance to speak with Natasha.

She knows why you choose to stay back and help her clean up, which is why she seems so nervous when you both enter the kitchen, putting used popcorn bowls and cups in the dishwasher.

A brief silence passes, then Natasha blurts out,“ I am so so so sorry Y/n. I know that this is long overdue but I truly am. I never ever meant to hurt you, especially not in the way I did. I’ll never be able to apologize enough.”

“But you just did,” you say before she can shoot off into another apologetic rant,“ I forgive you Natasha.” Tears instantly shine in her eyes.“ Yes, what you did hurt me and no it was not in anyway okay. But I’m not angry with you anymore. It was a stupid bet and a dumb mistake. I know it’s something you’d never do again. And looking at you with clearer eyes and a clearer mind, I know you genuinely are sorry.”

The redhead drops her gaze, shoulders shuddering as she takes a shaky breath.“ Thank you.” Is all she can manage to say. After everything she didn’t think you’d come back and forgive her.

You chuckle a little and walk over to her.“ You don’t have to thank me Nat,” your hand rests on her arm gently,“ just make sure you forgive yourself for this. You’re not a bad person and you shouldn’t think that.” With those being your final words, you press a soft kiss on her forehead, and leave.

With that done, you go in search of your best friend.

As you look around the compound for Wanda, you can’t help but feel lighter with each step. With this visit came a realization that you’ve been putting off for weeks.

Each step you take suddenly has more purpose.

None of this would’ve happened today without one person. The same person who encouraged you to do this today. You know she didn’t do it for the team or herself, she did it because she knew you needed it. She knew this was the final step to you fully healing.

This was yet another way she showed you how much she cares for you. While it’s possible she doesn’t care for you in that way, there’s just as much as a chance that she does.

With this new found lightness and confidence, you know exactly how you want to end this visit.

Luckily, it doesn’t take long to find the beautiful woman

You walk across the roof, approaching the younger woman with an adoring smile on your face. Even though you know she can hear you walking up, she doesn’t turn to look at you, not even when you sit down beside her.

Her feet swing back and forth over the edge of the roof, eyes fixated on the view of the lake and surrounding greenery.

“I take it she apologized profusely,” she says to which you nod,“ and you forgave her,” you nod again and she sighs.“ Are you going to move back to be with her?”

You immediately frown. Not just at her question but at her tone. She knows how jealous she sounds and she hates that she couldn’t control it.

“I’m not moving back, I happen to really like my apartment.” You tell her, noting that she doesn’t react.“ And I’m not getting back together with Natasha.”

That finally pulls the woman’s gaze from in front of her to you.“ But- but you forgave her.”

Chuckling a little, you respond,“ yeah I did. Doesn’t mean I want to be with her. Just means I want to let go of what happened and finally move on. She deserved to know that she didn’t have to hate herself for what happened, even if it was wrong.”

“Oh. Okay.” Is all Wanda can manage to say.

With a nod you look out in front of you. You take a deep breath and say,“ besides, why would I get back together with Natasha when I really want to be with you.”

Time seems to freeze. Wanda’s knuckles turn white from the tight grasp she suddenly has on the ledge.

She doesn’t want to move, let alone say something. She’s scared you might take it back, scared this is just a dream.

“If you don’t breathe I’m gonna get very worried.” You say after her long moment of silence.

She didn’t know she was holding her breath, but she releases it slowly. The way she looks over at you is just as slow. Green eyes bore into yours, searching for the genuineness in your words, and she finds it.

As if knowing she wants to hear you truly admit it, you tell her,“ I’ve fallen in love with you. I couldn’t control it and I wouldn’t even if I could. You’re extraordinary, Wanda Maximoff. And after everything that I’ve been through, there’s no one I trust more with my heart.”

Your confession is dripping with honesty and deep love, admiration wraps around your words, and they so easily sail into Wanda’s ears straight to her heart.

Surging forward, she grabs the back of your neck and pulls you into a kiss. Her lips mold against yours as her fingers softly grip your neck.

With a hand on her waist, you return the kiss, pouring the emotions you’d just expressed through words into the kiss. You want her to know how you felt in every way you could show her. You love her and you will show her that in every way you can as long as she lets you.

“I love you.” She tells you, her words a breathy whisper against your lips.

A smile splits across your face and you softly kiss her again.“ I love you too.”

Her forehead rests against yours and you stay there for a moment. It’s a much needed quiet that encircles you two. You use that moment to soak up everything that has happened today and the last remnants of the weight that was on your shoulders lifts. You find yourself feeling truly, almost perfectly, happy.

“Can I take you out on a date?” You break the silence.

Wanda nods, a smile plastered on her face.“ I’d like that.” She says, both of you knowing how that same phrase led you to this moment, a moment you won’t ever forget.
