❛ it's the first selfie we took together, framed and everything. i know it's kind of corny, but i remember that's the time i properly felt like we were family. happy father's day, vizh. ❜
vision never particularly felt like a father.
he can’t claim that he had a hand in the creation of the twins, both before the loss of them, and then in their return to the world, though through different families. it all laid on wanda’s shoulders, and the amazing things she could do - the only thing he provided was a want for the children with him, and even then it was hard to claim that he was even a small factor in it.
it isn’t difficult for him to view billy as his own, though. the boy hero has become much so in their time spent together. the synthezoid has never been sure of how billy felt about him, if he thought vision was merely imposing on his life in an attempt to be something he wasn’t, could never actually be, or even if he just didn’t like him. but this, the gift and the words with them, are enough for him to feel— it’s a comfort.
red fingers trail slowly over the picture, remembering the day fondly, and something in his chest warms. he’s happy, more so than he has been in a long time, and it’s a feeling he wants to hold on to.
vision is a creation, a robot who shouldn’t be able to feel things like this. but of course, he does, they have developed over time, and he only has the wonderful people he’s met to thank for that. billy has become one of those people, someone precious to him that he wishes to protect, and someone he can thank the world for gifting to him. despite his usual eloquence, his gift with words, he finds himself unable to speak for a moment.
it takes him a while of looking at the picture, of the reminder of a time treasured dearly, held in his grasp before he can say anything.
❛ thank you, ❜ he simply mutters it at first, and then looks to billy, the picture still held gently in his hands. ❛ for this gift. i will… i will treasure it, as it should be treasured. thank you very much, billy. ❜
