•Like autistic reader, who is very open and proud about being autistic. And like openly stems, especially when happy. Hand flaping, finger wiggling, spinning, vocal stims, full body shaking ext
• reader is really bad with volume control and often either mumbles or yells. Maybe when talking about something they're interested in, they just scream mid sentence and then carry on.
• read unknowingly mimicking there s/o while masking like copying their accents, laughs, boy language or just repeat whatever they just said.
• reader info dumps and asks allot of questions (even if that seem obvious)
• reader will randomly just stop masking and give like resting bitch face and speak with more monotone voice.
•and reader quotes things a lot like shows, movies, tiktoks, and people.

TOMMYINNIT
he's never had a problem with you being autistic and neither have you, and you're totally fine with him making little jokes or comments because you can most of the time see therough them
he finds your stimming, especially when you're happy and excited, so fucking adorable. he literally crumbles everytime.
he also loves when you have him stim with you
you two have this little finger wiggling thing you do together, reference the "dunga dunga dunga" moment in the amsterdam vlog because I can't describe it 💀
if you're spinning to stim, he'll often joke about you getting dizzy or needing to throw up, and halfway join you because you're spinning to create a damn tornado, he can't go that fast LMAO
if somewhere is too loud and you need out, you're going dw, he couldn't care less if you just automatically yell, go nonverbal, or only begin mumbling to him. he's got you
absolutely loves when you're ranting about special interests or hyperfixations
he'll genuinley listen all day long
"and it's so interesting *cue yell* because-"
he'll lightly cringe at the change in volume but don't worry, he's fine. if you ever think differently he'll 100% reassure you that he's alright and he doesn't mind it whatsoever
you'll unknowingly pick up his accent and he'll notice immediately but not point it out, because he's learned that you'll go back to normal after he points it out. he finds it so cute tho
you also pick up saying bitch a lot, which he finds hilarious
doesn't understand tone tags a hundred percent but he uses the ones he knows and learns a lot of the other ones as your relationship grows
if you're masking in public and get comfy enough, you'll have this miserable looking bitch face and he's just like "Oh they're just like that, don't worry"
youre probably quoting total drama and mean girls 24/7 let's be honest
"you're just a homeschooled jungle freak!"
"christ, okay, y/n"
"you know I was quoting mean girls"
whatever phrase he's addicted to saying, you are too
"DARLINGGGGG GUESS WHOS BACK FROM THE PSYCH WARD"
"WHAT THE FUCK?"
FREDDIE BADLINU
always smiles seeing you stim when you're happy/excited
vocal stims with him >>>
9 times out of 10 he'll repeat them after you say them to kind of make it a game, to see who can say ___ the most
you copy his accent and his frequently used phrases a lot
it makes him get all mushy inside because you're literally thinking about him 24/7
info dumping to him >>>> he's always listening bro
he doesn't mind you asking a lot of questions, even if the answer seems obvious. he understands that you don't wanna screw something up or understand something wrong
lots of quoting Garfield. I don't make the rules
"WE'RE BACHELORS, BABY" ; you both quote this often, let's be honest
"whoever moved my shit around should be dragged out onto the street and shot"
"i really hope you're quoting Garfield this time.."
your resting bitch face genuinely makes him giggle, ESPECIALLY the monotone voice
he apologizes a million times, he just can't take you seriously sometimes (if it's a more lighthearted situation)
he seems like the type to know most the tone tags and knows when to use them, but the ones like /nf trip him up
like wdym nf??? like the rapper?? like the guy from those gacha music videos? what's he doing here?
you're also constantly quoting bits from Tommy's show 💀 or replicating the little dance they learned to introduce Freddie
when you randomly yell when you're talking about a special interest/hyperfixation, he raises his eyebrows with an amused smile and nod
"and *cue yell* it's so fucked up but so good!"
"yeah?"
NIKI NIHACHU
she's picked up some stimming from you
you guys finger wiggle little whiskers, like ants or some sort of bug
spinning when you're exited >>>
she cheers you on to try and get you to go faster LMAO
bad with volume control? that's totally fine. she completely understands
giggles whenever you get loud mid-sentence and playfully throws her hands up like you scared her
"Peter... the horse is here"
"is it now?" she giggles
always quoting tik toks and vines istg
"road work ahead? yeah, I sure hope it does"
"THIS IS THE BEST DAMN CHICKEN I HAVE EVER HAD"
"oooo I love that scarlet color" she smiles
"I love that scarlet color" you whisper
she loves when you info dump about your special interests/hyperfixations, especially if it's something she's not really into but will gladly hear you talk about because it's interesting
she's also very on it with tone tags just in case, whether you tell her you need them or not
"I'll kill you wtf"
"/J /J SORRY"
she knows every single tone tag, if there was a tone tag test, she'd ace it
the monotone voice and bitch face always scare her for a moment, she's gotta make sure if you're okay and just not masking or if you're actually upset about something
she always gets you gifts surrounding your special interests/current fixations
bro if you're a fanfic writer... she's ur number one reader. absolutely lovessss your writing
you'll pick up her soft tone of voice and the accent and she will do anything but point it out, she loves knowing that she's the one paying attention to it, and seeing you just catch onto something and for you to not notice
ALEX QUACKITY
need compression for comfort? he's there, any squeezing or form of compression you need is there
need to squeeze his hand? go ahead. need a tight ass hug? he's there
always does a proud smile when he sees you stim, especially in public
generally proud that you aren't masking in public and you're comfortable being yourself
he'll even stim with you sometimes to make you not feel weird about stimming in public and shit 💔
you catch onto his mannerisms a lot, like adjusting your hair, any hats/beanies, talking with your hands, etc
like you'll catch yourself going to adjust your sunglasses and you don't have any on. you realize "wait I've been watching him do it all night, have I been doing that??"
so much info dumping and he's here for it
"wait, what then?"
"she *cue louder talk/almost yell* fucking dies! it was either die or suffer!"
"holy shit, for real?"
you guys are both quoting dumb shit let's be honest
modern family quotes.... you can't go an hour without them
always mumbling "gotta fix that step" it's a vocal stim atp
Genre: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Established Relationship
Summary: Feeling burnt out from masking, Wanda is there to comfort you and brush your hair.
Warnings: Reader has meltdowns/shutdowns, Sensory issues mention, One use of Y/n, Reader is gender-neutral
Word Count: ~1.0k
Request: would you be able to do a really sweet fluffy fic with Wanda Maximoff and an autistic reader where reader asks Wanda, “Can you feel me?” (like in the scene from Infinity War at the beginning when Wanda uses her magic to feel Vision’s stone and she says “I just feel you” before all the chaos breaks out) and Wanda uses her magic in the same way and says back “I just feel you.” i hope that made sense, it sounded cute in my head lol.
A/N: This request took me longer than I would’ve liked but I just had my birthday so that threw a wrench in my plans. Also, MOM gave me a few ideas for Wanda fics that I will eventually get around to writing. This fic also ended up including more hair brushing than I expected but whatever lol. Gif found on google. Thank you for reading!
The last few months had been extra stressful. You were swamped with missions and it was being to burn you out. You could feel yourself getting exhausted and needing to pull away. Your girlfriend Wanda, was the first to notice. She watched as you flinched away from the team’s touches and excused yourself to your shared room more often than usual.
When she entered the room with both of your dinners she frowned as she saw you rocking back and forth a little too passionately. Gently placing the food down on a nearby table, she sat down next to you on the ground. “Rough day?” She called out as you nodded. “May I touch you?” She asked as you thought for a moment before nodding again.
She put her hand out and stroked your hair as you slowed your rocking. As she continued she began to hum a Sokovian lullaby. Gently, she began brushing your hair with her fingers. You leaned into her touch as you felt a calm wash over you. “Do you want to talk about it?” She asked as you sighed. “There’s not much to talk about. One of my missions got too stressful and I accidentally snapped at someone,” You explained as you frowned and she hummed in acknowledgment.
“I hate having to mask whenever I’m not with you. It’s so exhausting and it makes me not feel like myself,” You continued as she frowned with you. “Then don’t mask around them. If they don’t like it, screw them,” She huffed. “It’s not that simple Wans,” You replied as she moved to look at you. “I know, but I wish it were,” She sighed as you smiled melancholically.
“As long as you’re here with me you never have to mask around me though. That’s the best I can offer for now,” She continued as she smiled disappointed in herself for not being able to do more. “Thank you,” You replied as you leaned your forehead in to touch hers. After a few breaths, she leaned back and kissed you on the forehead before speaking, “We really should eat dinner before it gets cold though.” “Right. Do you bring that in already?” You asked as you looked around before noticing the food. “Wow, I must’ve been pretty out of it,” You chuckled before grabbing your food and cuddling up with Wanda on the couch.
A few days later and you had gone on another particularly stressful mission. This one included a loud siren and flashing light that you had to mask through even though it exhausted you. As you stepped off the quinjet you immediately headed to you and Wanda’s room. You turned on the shower before stripping out of your clothes.
You stepped under the water and sighed as you felt the water pelt off of you. You washed yourself off before standing under the water and just letting the water hit you. You vaguely recognized the sound of Wanda entering the bathroom as you lost yourself in your thoughts.
Hearing a knock on the shower wall you turned to look at her as she smiled at you. “Room for one more?” She asked as you nodded and made room for her. She busied herself with washing herself as you zoned out again. She turned and frowned seeing you looking so far away after she had asked you a question. “Y/n?” She called as you blinked hard before turning towards her. “Yeah?” You asked as she frowned harder. “I asked you if you wanted me to wash your hair,” She repeated. “Oh, uh, I already washed my hair,” You replied as she smiled compassionately at you.
“I figured, but I know you like how it feels when I wash your hair,” She replied as you tilted your head in contemplation. “I’m okay,” You responded after a pause. “Okay, darling,” She said before turning off the water and grabbing towels for both of you. You both dried off and changed into comfy clothes in silence before Wanda turned on some music while she brushed her hair. When she finished she turned to you and held the brush up. “Want me to brush yours?” She asked before you nodded.
She sat down on the bed near you before beginning to brush through your hair. She carefully untangled your hair as you leaned into her. The gentle brushing felt very relaxing after such a long day. It also helped that it provided just the right sensory input. When she finished up you turned around to face her and crawled into her lap. Hugging her and hiding yourself in her neck, she put the brush down and pulled you close.
After a few minutes, you pulled back and chewed on your lip as you contemplated what to say. Wanda’s gaze softened as she watched before she brought one of her hands up to hold your face. You looked back at her when you felt her and sighed before looking down. “I know I mentioned it recently but I’m so tired from all this masking. I just don’t feel like myself, and I, I don’t know. I guess I’m asking if, if you can feel me?” You asked as you moved her hand up to your forehead.
She smiled softly before red mist came out of her fingers and connected with your temple. You felt her sift through your mind as you watched her close her eyes. “I just feel you,” She replied after a moment. Leaning forward you gently crashed your body into hers again as she fell back on the bed. “Thank you,” You spoke up after a pause. “No problem dear,” She replied softly before you propped yourself up on your elbows over her.
“What?” She asked as you gazed at her. “Nothing, you’re just really pretty and kind,” You replied as you watched her blush and look away. “Come here goof,” She responded before pulling you in to kiss her. You sighed into the kiss as you felt her love and warmth rush through you. As you pulled back you licked your lips and Wanda raised her eyebrow.
“You chapstick tastes good,” You answered and she hummed in response. “It’s mango flavored,” She replied before pulling you back into her embrace. Cuddling up to her, you once again buried your head in her as she began to draw patterns on your back. You felt your eyelids grow heavy before letting yourself succumb to sleep in your girlfriend’s arms.
ADHD! Kaminari Denki and His Autistic! S/O Bonding Over Mutual Behaviors
Request: "may i request an autistic!reader and adhd!denki bonding over mutual behaviors?? idk, i think itd b rlly cute 👉👈🐊"
Contains: meltdown reference, implication of ableism
ADHD and Autism are very similar
So it just makes sense that you and Denki would also be very similar!
Denki definitely stims
His fingers are always moving in some way, whether it's drumming them against something, spinning a pencil in them, or just fidgeting with them
Also bounces on the balls of his feet a lot
Even enjoys laying with his head off of the couch or his bed, for example
While he's done these things his entire life, he's internalized the fact that they make him 'weird'
He was teased for it a lot as a child
So when he meets you and realizes that you do similar, if not the exact same, things?
Denki feels so validated
Someone as amazing and perfect as you does those 'weird' things?
Maybe they don't make him so 'weird' after all
Once you're together, Denki finds it so easy to stim openly around you
You're the only person he really trusts to not judge him
He absolutely wants you to feel the same way
He would never, ever judge you for any of your stims, no matter how unusual they might be
Loves sharing excitement with you through stimming together
Happy/excited flappy hands together or jumping up and down together :')
Similarly, Denki is so happy to finally have someone who understands his hyperfixations
Hardly anyone understands why he gets so into the things he likes, but you understand perfectly
He knows you'd never judge him for getting excited or infodumping about his hyperfixations
Denki treats you with the same judgement free interest when you get excited about or infodump about your special interests
And if you two share a hyperfixation?
He would be the happiest boy in the world
While you and Denki understand each other's happier, positive behaviors, you also understand each other's negative behaviors
He knows how it feels to be overwhelmed, have a sensory overload, experience Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, feel frustrated with yourself, etc
In turn, that makes you both very good at comforting each other
You usually have first hand experience with triggers and struggles of being neuro-diverse
Not only can you comfort each other more easily, but you can also help each other avoid the things that trigger you before things get too bad
When things do get too much for either of you, it usually ends with you two spending time together in silence, finding comfort just in the presence of eachother
or cuddling if you’re okay with that
If you struggle academically, you two would definitely study together
That way you can help each other stay on track, but sometimes you just end up watching extremely random YouTube videos for hours in end
Either way, you had fun
If you struggle with executive dysfunction, Denki would do everything he can to help you out
Whether it's by reminding you of things, helping you do things, or just doing things you can't get yourself to do- he just wants to make things easier for you
And of course, you do the same for him whenever you can
Over all, neither of you had ever felt so understood and accepted before you met each other
You may not be the exact same, but you have a lot of shared experiences and behaviors
Which helps you two to have the strongest relationship around ♡
Genre: Angst with a happy ending, Fluff, Exes to Lovers
Summary: After high school, you go from best friends to lovers, but Kate isn’t too keen on keeping that going through college which leads to your break up. What happens when you see her again years later?
Warnings: Reader has a meltdown, Arguing, Reader and Kate both drink alcohol underage, Some Swearing, Reader is Gender-Neutral, A Few Uses of Y/N
Word Count: ~2,300
A/N: This is the first time I’ve written for Kate so hopefully it’s accurate to her character. This fic doesn’t center around being autistic btw, it’s just a part of reader. Also, this fic is inspired by Single In September by Zolita as well as a couple of other songs. Anyways I hope you enjoy the fic!
Kate and you had been friends during high school. Both of you were on the archery team. You two were practically inseparable. Kate came from a wealthier family but you two never saw it as a barrier to your friendship. Although you didn’t see it as a friendship, and neither did she. One night after graduation everything changed.
You sat on the balcony of your family’s apartment with Kate as she had her head laid in your lap. “God, can you imagine what college is going to be like?” She asked as you smiled at her before taking a sip of the alcohol you both stole from her mom. “Stressful I imagine,” You laughed before she joined in. “True but it’s also going to be fun!” She exclaimed as she took the bottle from you and took a sip herself. “Yeah,” You sighed as you looked out at the horizon. “But we won’t be near each other,” You said glumly as she sat up and gently grasped your face in her hands. “Hey, don’t do that. We still have all summer and we can visit each other,” She responded as you noticed how close she was to you. “I know but it won’t be the same,” You replied as she smiled at you softly. “It’ll work it out, I promise,” She said as you nodded.
You both paused as you took in the closeness. Your breath hitched as she leaned in slightly, looking between your eyes and your lips. Watching Kate closely she seemed to think about something before coming back to reality and you felt her pull you closer. Her lips were soft and warm as you both shared the feelings you’d kept hidden with each other. As Kate pulled back you both breathed heavily from the lack of air. “So?” Kate said hesitantly as you smiled at her. “Kiss me again,” You breathed out as she smiled gleefully at you. “As you wish,” She chuckled before pulling you back in.
That was the start of your summer fling. Not that you wanted it to be short-lived. During the months until fall, you both spent every waking moment together. You both discussed what the future together would be like but you missed the hesitancy in her voice every time the topic came up.
“So I was thinking,” You said as Kate continued checking her emails. “Mhm,” She hummed to you as you came up behind her and hugged her. “Maybe we can plan on me visiting you for Halloween?” You suggested as she huffed a little. “Y/n, I like you and you know that but don’t you think we’ll be too busy at college for this?” She asked as you pulled back surprised. “What? What do mean ‘for this’?” You asked as she shook her head. “I mean that this is fun but maybe we should wait for this to be serious until after college,” She said as you covered your mouth with your hand as you felt the color drain from your face. “Four years? You want to wait four years even though we’ve both liked each other for years already?” You asked as she scoffed. “It’s not that long. Plus if we still like each other afterward then we can pick up right where we left,” She said as if it was the most obvious thing ever. “No. You don’t get to do this. I can’t just put my heart on pause for you,” You said as you raised your voice. “I never said you had to. College is the time to experiment,” She laughed dryly as you felt tears creep up in your eyes.
“Fine. You want to go experiment? By all means, go ahead, but don’t expect me to wait around for you!” You yelled as she finally turned around to see you headed to gather the various things you’d left at her house. “Wait! Y/N, I didn’t mean it like that-” She tried to say as you cut her off. “No Kate, I’m not going to stay with someone who doesn’t want a future with me,” You scoffed as you picked up your things and headed to leave. “But I do want a future with you! I just don’t want to rush us!” She exclaimed trying to salvage her relationship with her best friend and partner. “No. You just want to sleep around and have me be your backup plan,” You said as you opened the door and Kate tried to grab your wrist. “Wait, please Y/N. You’re not my backup plan,” She pleaded as you looked at her coldly. “Goodbye Kate,” You replied as you left.
Two years went by and as much as you tried to shove it down you couldn’t. You closed off to the few friends you did have at your college. You started having more meltdowns than normal and the woman who normally would reach out to comfort you was no longer yours. It didn’t help that you occasionally checked her social media to see her smiling and with plenty of friends.
It was another bad night. You sat on your bathroom floor sobbing as The One That Got Away by Katy Perry played through your headphones. Sure it sucked that she wanted to take a break with you for college but you regretted blowing up at her as you did. Your head was filled with thoughts of what you’ve could’ve done differently. ‘Maybe if I wasn’t so mean we would still be friends?’ ‘Maybe if I had heard her out we would still be together?’ None of it helped. You felt yourself getting overwhelmed when you started rocking back in forth and hitting your legs. You couldn’t help but remember when she would help you through your meltdowns.
How she would pull you in her lap and rock you both back in forth while whispering to you that everything was going to be okay. How she’d stroke your hair and sing to you until you settled down. And then when you were back to normal, she’d pull you into her arms and let you nap with her. Unfortunately, the cold tile beneath you reminded you of the fact that you were on your own.
A few months passed and your parents begged you to come home for the winter break. Deciding what’s the worst that could happen, you went. Everything went smoothly until you were out taking a walk when you saw her. Her black hair splayed out on her shoulders and her smiling and chatting with a dog she was walking. You stopped right where you were. Seeing her again, all of the happy memories flooded through your mind. You broke back to reality when she happened to look up and catch your eyes. You saw her pause before you looked away and tried to think of a non-awkward way to walk away.
“Y/N?” She called as you swore to yourself. Her voice was still as angelic as before. “Kate,” You said as you looked back towards her. You watched as she closed the distance and stood before you. “It’s been a while,” She laughed awkwardly as you smiled at her. “Yeah, it has been,” You responded before looking down at the dog. “Who’s this?” You asked as you bent down to pet the dog. “His name is Lucky,” She responded as you nodded and pet him. “So what are you doing in town?” She asked as you stood back up and fidgeted with your sleeves. “Um, visiting my parents for the holidays,” You said as she nodded. “Would you like to- uh, catch up over some coffee?” She asked hesitantly as you smiled to yourself. “Yeah, that’d be nice,” You responded as she smiled. “Great! Um, I changed my number so here,” She said as she scribbled her number on a piece of paper she had laying around and handed it to you. “Thanks,” You responded as you brushed her hand as you took the paper. Blushing slightly, you noticed she was fidgeting now too.
“So once you text me we can figure out when we’re both free,” She said as you nodded. It was then when you both heard Lucky whine. “Guess I should continue our walk before he gets too impatient,” She laughed as you smiled at her. You had missed her laugh over the years. “Yeah, you should,” You responded as you both lingered there. “Well, it was nice seeing you. Um, don’t forget to text me,” Kate said as you nodded. “It was nice seeing you too Kate, and trust me I won’t forget,” You laughed as she smiled at you. Waving bye to you, she continued on her walk as you stood there taking in what just happened.
A couple of days later and you sat in a quaint coffee shop as you waited on her. Feeling nervous you let yourself fidget with a stim toy you brought. Hearing the ding of the bell signaling someone’s entrance you looked up to see the cheerful raven-haired girl. She waved at you before placing her order and coming to sit across from you. “Hey, hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long,” She said as you smiled at her. “No, it’s alright. I got here a bit early,” You replied as she nodded. “So how have you been?” She asked as you chuckled. “Pretty stressed, college is a bitch,” You said lightheartedly as she laughed. “That’s for sure,” She replied as she heard her name get called. Coming back with her coffee she sat down and took a sip. “How about you? College stressing you out too?” You asked as she nodded. “Yeah, it’s pretty hard. But it’s going well. Plus I got to meet Hawkeye! Isn’t that cool?!” She said excitedly as you smiled at her. You remember her gushing over him throughout high school and were happy she finally got to meet him. “That’s awesome!” You replied as she begin telling you how they met.
You sat in that coffee shop chatting for a while until you both got hungry. “Hey, would you want to come to mine? We could get some pizza,” Kate offered as you nodded. “Sure, that sounds fun,” You replied as her smile widened. Entering her apartment you were greeted with Lucky hopping excitedly at Kate who was carrying the pizzas. “Ignore the fire damage. Clint and I had some people follow us and it wasn’t fun.” She said as you nodded and took in her place. “Calm down Lucky. I brought you some too but you need to calm down,” You heard her say as you laughed. “Lucky likes pizza?” You asked as she smiled at you. “Yeah, before he was Lucky he was named Pizza Dog,” She replied as you smiled at her. It almost felt like the old days between you two.
After a bit, you both were settled on her couch and had watched a few episodes of TV. “Let me clear this up,” She said as she got up to put away the leftovers and clear up the trash. “I can help,” You responded as you got up and joined her. “Thank you,” She smiled. As you both put stuff away you caught her gazing at you with an intensity you couldn’t place. Shying away, you finished cleaning up.
“I’ve missed you,” She said as you turned around to look at her leaning against the kitchen counter. “I’ve missed you too Kate,” You responded as walked closer to her. “What happened between us? Why did it have to end?” She asked as you sighed and started fidgeting again. “You didn’t want to stay together through college and I, I couldn’t handle that,” You replied as she nodded. “What if I made a mistake?” She asked as you looked up at her confused. “What do you mean?” You replied as she smiled softly. “What if I made a mistake saying that and we should’ve stayed together?” She asked as you blinked shocked by her words. “Then I would also say I made a mistake of not hearing you out,” You replied as she took a step closer to you.
“Will you hear me out this time?” She asked as she tucked a piece of your hair behind your ear. “Yes,” You replied as she looked between your eyes and your lips. Overwhelmed by her proximity you pulled her in to kiss you as her hands went to your waist. You kissed her passionately as she returned it with the same hunger. Breaking apart for air, she rested her forehead on yours. “So?” You said as you mimicked her the first you kissed. “So,” She responded as you both bathed in each other’s presence. “Think you can give me another chance?” She asked as you chuckled. “Of course Katie,” You replied as she broke out into a huge smile. Moving her hands to squeeze you she buried her head in your shoulder.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” She chanted between gentle kisses placed on your neck. “It’s okay, I’ve wanted to try this again too,” You said as you tangled one of your hands in her hair. “I promise I won’t fuck up again,” She said as rested her head on your chest and you chuckled. “This time you’ll be in my every plan for the future,” She promised as you smiled softly to yourself and played with her hair. “You’ve always been my future Katie,” You replied as she squeezed you again. “You were mine too, I was just too blind to see it,” She said as you kissed her forehead. “Well, we’ll have plenty of time to make up for it,” You said as she hummed in agreement.
Summary: After Natasha saves you from the Red Room, you become close friends. Over the months she’s been trying to make it clear to you that she likes you but you don’t quite get it. When will you realize she’s been flirting with you or will she have to spell it out?
Warnings: Reader is gender-neutral but Natasha calls them pretty (if you consider that a gendered compliment), You and Nat both drink alcohol but no one gets drunk, Reader gets scratched by a cat, Some arguing but it has a happy ending, A couple uses of Y/N, Some swearing
Word Count: ~1,500
Request: if ur taking requests… i saw you dont really do angst so could you do natasha x autistic!reader where natasha is trying to hint to the reader that she likes them, but reader doesn’t get it bc you know social cues r hard to understand sometimes
so maybe nat just blurts it out one day and then fluff ensues
A/N: любимый = darling | This takes place between the end of Black Widow and Infinity War. Ignore the fact that she probably didn’t have an apartment during those times. Anyways I hope you all like this fic! Also, reader is referenced as a dog person so if you’re not, then sorry about that! Gif from pinterest.
You were eternally thankful to Nat for saving you from the Red Room so when she offered you a spot on her quinjet you agreed immediately. It’s been more fun than you thought it could ever be and now you two were headed to pick up her family the Avengers. Which admittedly made you incredibly nervous, but if it was important to Nat, it was important to you.
“So how long until arrival?” You questioned as she checked on the console. “Three hours or so,” She replied, kicking her boots up. “Gives us plenty of time to get to know each other better,” She smiled as you turned your seat to face her. “Well, what do you want to know?” You asked as you quirked your head. A couple of hours and it was Nat’s turn to ask again. “Hm, if you could be an animal, what would you be?” She responded as she brought her drink up to her lips. “I think I would be a dog, y'know cause they’re so cute and can be protective when needed.” You answered as she nodded her head. “Let me guess, you’d be a black widow spider since that’s your superhero thing,” You laughed as she joined in. “Mm, no actually I’d be a cat. And I’m pretty sure my name was more assigned than chosen.” She retorted as you nodded thoughtfully. “I could see you as a cat person,” You said as you imagined her feeding the strays that wandered around the Avengers Compound. “Well if you’d be a dog then I think I could be converted to a dog person,” She laughed as you smiled, not entirely sure what she meant. “Thank you?” You responded as you laughed nervously. Just then the console lit up to let you know you were close. “Looks like we’ll have to pick up this conversation later,” You said, thankful for the distraction. As you focused on making sure everything was ready you noticed Natasha was watching with a look you couldn’t quite place. Shaking it off you two prepared yourselves for the break out of her friends.
Since that day you and the Avengers on Steve’s side have gotten pretty close, over the months you’ve gained more of a sense of identity after being freed from Dreykov’s mind control. Natasha had been through a similar process before, which led to her being by your side the whole time. She’s been the best support you could’ve asked for. She even started bringing you little gifts that related to your special interests. Tonight you two were going to a local bar to get a drink together. Since you and the others on Steve’s team have decided to stay in a place off the radar, you all have decided it’s safe enough to be in public. After touching up your hair, you headed into the bar of Nat’s choice. A little dingier than you would have preferred but whatever.
Taking a seat next to her at the bar and ordering a drink you see the redhead turn to you and smile. “You come here often?” She smirks as you laugh. “Thankfully no, only when my best friend wants to get a drink,” you say as you smile playfully at her. Laughing herself she responds, “Well then I should invite you out more often if you’re gonna dress all pretty for me.” “Aw well, I’m glad you like my outfit,” You smile as the bartender places your drink down in front of you. “I like a whole lot more about you than just your outfit,” She winks as you laugh. “I would hope so since we’re so close,” you respond playfully. Laughing she takes a sip of her drink, saying something under her breath afterward. As the night continues you two share many more laughs and smiles. Until eventually you both have to head back to your apartments.
Unfortunately for you, the temperature outside dropped between the first drink and the last. “Jeez, was it this cold when we got here?” You ask, shivering a bit. “I don’t think it was, are you going to be alright walking home in this weather?” Nat asks as she looks at you concerned. “I’m sure I’ll be fine just a bit frozen by the time I get there,” You laugh dryly as you rub your arms to try to warm yourself. “Here take my jacket, my bike is parked nearby so it won’t take me as long to get home,” She responds as she hands you her jacket. “No, it’s okay. I’m just joking, I’ll be alright.” You respond hurriedly, declining her jacket. “C’mon take it. You need it more than I do. Plus you can just give back to me tomorrow.” She says as you contemplate if it’s okay to take her source of warmth. “Okay, fine. But don’t freeze to death on me,” You laugh as you put her jacket on and she smiles. “I won’t, I promise.”
A few days later you end up at her apartment for dinner. As Nat prepares the dinner for both of you, you take the time to cozy up to her new cat. She told you that her name was Liho. As you make clicky noises at Liho, she seems to disregard you and continue cleaning herself. Sighing you move a little closer and try to pet her. Surprised by your actions, Liho reacts by scratching you. “Shit!” You exclaim, pulling your hand away from her quickly. “Are you alright?” Natasha asks as she rushes over to you to check for whatever hurt you. “Yeah, I’m okay. I surprised Liho and she scratched me, that's all.” You respond as she takes your hand and looks over the scratch. “Let me take care of this for you. A cat scratch can get infected if you’re not careful.” She comments as she heads to her bathroom to get her first aid kit. Sighing at her overly cautious behavior, you call out to her again that it’s not a big deal.
“You say that but I’d rather be safe than sorry,” She responds as she brings the kit over to you and sets it up. Taking your hand as you decide not to fight her over it, as she cleans it with an alcohol wipe. Exclaiming at the stinging she apologizes as she finishes it up with Neosporin and a band-aid. “There, all better,” She smiles as you roll your eyes. “I would’ve been fine without it.” You comment as she shakes her head. “Maybe but there’s no harm in a band-aid,” She laughs, trying to lighten the air. “But you’re always like this. You keep being extra careful around me and always sugarcoat things to me. I don’t know if you’re like this because you pity me or what. But I wish you would treat me normally.” You huff out as she widens in her eyes in shock. “I’m not-” “You are! You’re always babying me or treating me differently than the others!” You exclaim fed up. “Y/N, please listen to me.” She says as you turn towards her frustrated. “I’m not trying to baby you. I- Okay, yes, I treat you differently than everyone else. But not because I pity you, I like you Y/N. I have since we first met. Hell, I’ve flirted with you at every opportunity but you never pick up on it I guess.” She explains, frustrated with your perception of her and the months and months of misunderstood flirting. “Oh,” You breathe out as you stare at her in shock. “Fuck. You know what? Nevermind. I’ll just go finish dinner,” She sighs as she stands up.
“Wait!” You call out to her as she glances back at you. “I like you too. But I always thought you were just being nice and I didn’t want to fuck this up.” You rush out as her demeanor changes and she smiles at you. “Really?” She asks as she walks towards you and stops close to you. “Yeah,” You reply as you look at her in this proximity. “Well then, may I kiss you любимый?” She asks playfully. “Yes, please.” You respond before you feel her hand settle at your waist and she pulls you closer with a hand on your cheek. Pressing her lips to yours, you taste coffee and chocolate on her. As the kiss gets more passionate her hand on your cheeks tangles into your hair as your hands entangle behind her neck and pull her closer. Moving away from your lips she trails kisses down your jaw and onto your neck as she moves her hand in your hair to your back to support you. After leaving a few kisses there she pulls back and smiles at you. “As much fun as this is, I should probably get back to cooking so I don’t burn our food,” She comments as you giggle. “Fair point,” You reply as you two head to the kitchen so Natasha can continue cooking dinner.

Request: Hi! I see you write for Autistic readers. Thank you so for that you have no idea how great it is to finally read something that's like me! Thank you! Can you write a fic where the reader is one of the younger Avengers with a crush on Wanda, and everyone is sort of protective of them? -anon
A/N: солнышко = Sunshine, любимый = love/my love | Wow, this is my first request! Thank you anon for the idea, I hope you like the fic! I wasn’t sure in what way you wanted the team to be protective of them but I hope you like the way I wrote it. I’m kinda surprised how quickly I wrote this but I guess I liked the idea lol. This fic doesn’t have a specific time set for it but it’s just a “everyone’s happy” type AU. Also I know Nat probably wouldn’t drink milk in her coffee but she does in this fic. Gif is from pinterest.
It took a while but you eventually settled into your new surroundings and home at the Avengers Compound. The change in scenery was a bit difficult on you but luckily you had the team to help every bit of the way. The move had also meant lots of changes in your typical routine. Thankfully, everyone was more than happy to help you adjust your old one. Your favorite parts of your new routine were definitely your morning run with Sam and Steve, Friday movie nights with whoever was in the compound, and of course your late-night tea chats with Wanda.
You could go on about Wanda forever. She was the closest in age to you besides Peter. You three made up the “Kiddo Avengers” as the rest of the team put it. Although you kept drifting closer to Wanda than Peter. You two could relate easily between her sensory issues from everyone’s minds being too loud and you having your sensory issues from your autism. Wanda was the first on the team to know about your autism.
You cried as you felt the frustration wash over you. This couldn’t be happening now. They didn’t even know you were autistic yet, how would they react to this? Rocking back and forth as your balled-up fists hit your legs repeatedly, you couldn’t hear the footsteps heading your way. “Y/n?” Wanda asked as you finally registered that someone was next to you. As you looked up towards her, you saw the concern and confusion written on her face. Unable to speak at the moment, you pointed at your head to try to communicate to her that she could read your mind to see what was wrong. As she smiled apologetically she went ahead and checked. When she was done you could tell that she had a better understanding of the situation at hand. “Do you want me to help you rock? Would that help?” She asked as she put her hands between your fists and your legs to prevent you from hurting yourself more.
You nodded as she pulled you closer and began rocking the two of you. “If you need to hit something, hit my chest or squeeze my hands, okay? I don’t want you to hurt yourself Y/N,” She said as she offered you her hands. Taking them and squeezing them as hard as you could, you cried into her shoulder as she began to sing a soft Sokovian lullaby. Once you were calmed down enough Wanda tried to ask you some questions but you were still nonverbal so she decided it would be better if she took you to your room to watch your favorite show.
Over the next couple of months, you slowly told everyone who needed to know about your autism, and you and Wanda developed some hand signals for when you were nonverbal. With Wanda helping you through this adjustment came your ever-developing crush on the redhead. You two spent so much time together that it seemed inevitable to the rest of the team. Whenever you were with someone on the team without her you were always gushing about her. The team thought it was adorable but they were starting to get tired of you both being oblivious to the other’s crush on each other. Which is how the plan came around.
“They need to get a room, I’m honestly getting cavities from their tooth-achingly sweet interactions.” Tony chuckled as he spoke to Sam, Natasha, and Clint. “They're just kids, these things take time for them,” Sam added playfully as Tony poured himself a drink. “Yes, but it’s months. I honestly don’t think they’ll get together unless we do something about it.” Clint adds as Nat begins to smirk. “So let’s get them together then? That will solve this issue, right?” She suggests as Tony points at her and nods his head. “Yes, that’s a great idea! At least someone here other than me has some brain cells.” He laughs as everyone else groans at his ego.
“And how do you propose we go about this?” Sam asks annoyed with his friends meddling in you and Wanda’s love lives. “Tony could throw one of his parties and then they couldn’t help but get together if they’re both dressed to the nines,” Clint suggests to which Natasha shakes her head. “No, that would just overwhelm Y/N.” Nat reminds them. “True, how about we do it during movie night?” Tony suggests taking a sip of his drink. “That could work,” Sam responds being less annoyed by this idea than whatever other crazy ideas they could think of. “And what would make them get together during this movie night rather than all the others?” Clint asks skeptically. “We could make it so the only two seats available when they get there are next to each other. Then we fill in the rest of the team so that way slowly during the movies everyone leaves until it’s just them two. That way there’s no embarrassment for them and they wouldn’t suspect anything,” Tony explains as he gestures with his hands. “That sounds like the best plan,” Nat agrees as Clint and Sam nod their heads.
As movie night came around the group had alerted the rest of the team to the idea. Most everyone agreed to go with it but Steve just shook his head and said he’d sit out on this one. While the team made sure to get there early so the only spots left would be next to each other, you and Wanda were completely unaware of this plan. Wanda and you had been out getting pizza for movie night so as they headed over the team tried their best to contain their giggles and smirks. “Alright guys, we’re back with the pizza!” You cheered as you set it down on the table in front of the team. As everyone got their pizza, Wanda sat down and patted the spot next to her. “Looks like these are the only seats left,” She smiled as you sat next to her and began getting comfy.
Over the course of the movie, the two of you cuddled up closer as you two usually did while the rest of the time slowly but surely left one by one. Halfway through the second movie Wanda realized you two were the only ones left. “Y/N, it appears everyone has dipped on us,” She laughed as you looked around to find it was true. “That’s odd, normally they stay until the third movie at least,” You commented as you cuddled back into her. Stroking your hair she hummed in agreement as you two continued your movie.
As the end credits began playing, you were brought back to reality where you realized you and Wanda were incredibly close. Preparing yourself you looked up at her as she went to change the movie to the next one. “Wanda?” You asked as she brought her attention to you. “Yes, солнышко?” She smiled as she regarded you. “I, um, I like you.” You blurt out and shut your eyes to hide from her. “I like you too, goof.” She chuckled as she started to go back to changing the movie. “No, I mean I like you as like more than a friend.” You mumble quickly to get the embarrassment over with. “Oh,” She smiles as she turns back to you. “I like you like that too,” She says as she leans down to press a gentle kiss to your forehead. Beaming to yourself you both turn back to the movie at hand.
With the movie over, Wanda offered to walk you back to your room. Holding hands the whole way back and chatting about the movies. Once you arrived at your door, you two settled into a hesitant silence. “Uh, may I kiss you good night?” Wanda asks nervously, fidgeting with her hands. Nodding you look up towards her and lean in. As her warm breath ghosts over your lips, you feel your giddiness rising. When your lips meet you realize that this feels right and she feels like home. As you part, she tucks some of your hair behind your ear and smiles softly at you. “Good night Wanda,” you smile back. “Good night, любимый,” she says giving your hand a squeeze before heading back to her room.
As per usual the next morning Wanda is in the kitchen making herself and you some tea for breakfast when Natasha comes over and leans on the kitchen counter next to her. “So.. How did last night go?” Nat smirks as she watches the other redhead become flustered. “Uh, movie night? It went well. Where did all of you guys go?” She asks, keeping her focus intently on making her tea. “Are you sure it went just ‘well’?” She teases as she ignores the question. “Yeah, it went well, and why are you dodging my question? That’s suspicious.” Wanda responds a little defensively. “Well, we figured leaving you two alone might get one of you to finally make a move. And judging by what FRIDAY told us, it seemed to have worked.” Nat chuckles as she steals some milk from Wanda for her coffee. “What?! You guys were spying on us?” Wanda asks, shocked and very red. “Well some of us are spies, but no. We just asked FRIDAY if it worked or not. No one wants to watch you lovebirds be sickeningly sweet.” She laughs as she pats Wanda on the shoulder.
“But, should you do anything to hurt Y/N it won’t go very nicely for you,” She adds as Wanda pales a little. “Hey! Stop threatening Wanda. She wouldn’t do anything to hurt me.” You add as you catch Nat giving her speech to Wanda. Wanda calms down a little when she sees you and uses one of your hand signals for thank you. “I wasn’t threatening her. We just don’t want either of you to get hurt. Plus I was going to give you the speech later too.” Nat laughs as she finishes making her coffee and heads off. With Nat gone, Wanda gestures that she’d like a hug. Stepping closer to her, you pull her into a tight hug and draw circles on her back. “Thank you for that. Natasha can be a bit intimidating.” Wanda laughs dryly as you squeeze her a little tighter. “Don’t worry, she just said that because she’s protective over me. Plus I’m sure she’s worried about you too. She did say she wanted to give me a lecture too,” You laugh as she joins in. Stepping back from your hug, Wanda offers you a cup of tea as you two begin your morning routine together.

A/N: Well I’m back from my unexpected hiatus of writer’s block. Sorry, it took me a bit but I hope you enjoy this fic! This could be read as just a normal Wanda x GN! Reader but there are some aspects of it that make it Autistic! Reader in my opinion. Gif I found off pinterest again. Also, I tried to make sure that there are no gendered pronouns for reader but if you find any let me know! If you have fic ideas for any marvel characters please let me know, especially if you want an Autistic! Reader fic! Thank you for reading! :)
It’s been a few months since Wanda showed up at your door. You’re honestly still not sure what to think of the Westview situation but you’re happy to give your friend a place to stay. The problem is the little crush you’ve had on her since you first met years ago. You know she recently lost Vision so there’s no way you’d make your move anytime soon, but it doesn’t change the fact that living with her is now a monumental task. Plus you’re aware she’s a mind reader and have zero idea if she already knows or not.
“Y/N?” The redhead asks as she peeks around the door corner. “Oh, uh. Hey, what’s up?” You ask, a little startled by her sudden appearance. “Do you know if we have any sugar left? Or do I need to run to the store?” “Um, I don’t think there’s any left if it’s not next to the tea.” “Well there’s none there,” She laughs as she leans on the door. “I guess I’ll have to do a quick run to the store. Want anything?” She asks as she picks up her keys. “Mm, could you get me some more of those cookies I like?” “Yeah, of course. The chocolate chip ones, right?” “Yup, those ones!” You respond as she finishes slipping on her shoes. “Alright, well I’ll be back in a bit!” She smiles as she heads out.
Checking your phone, you realize that there’s a snowstorm headed to your quaint home tonight. Sighing, you slide yourself off the couch to make sure you have some candles, blankets, and whatever else you might need in case the power goes out. Unfortunately for you, being cold is sensory hell for you. Which makes you wonder why the hell you decided to live in a place that snows. But nothing you can do about that for now. Once you gather up everything you think you two will need, you settle back on the couch after lighting the fireplace.
After watching one of your comfort shows for a bit, you hear the front door’s lock giggle signaling Wanda’s arrival. “Hey, did you see how hard it’s snowing out here? It’s fucking freezing.” She shivers as she quickly shuts the door and places the groceries on the countertop in the kitchen. “Yeah I did, my weather app says it’s gonna be a big storm. We might lose power.” You respond, standing up and joining her to put away the groceries. “Ugh, that’s gonna suck. Are you going to be okay? I know you don’t like the cold very much.” She says, stopping to look at you, waiting for your response. “Honestly, I’m not sure. It’s been a while since we had a storm bad enough to knock the power out.” You sigh, as Wanda frowns with concern. “Then I think we should bundle up on the couch next to the fire so that way you don’t freeze too much.” She suggests as you two finish putting away the groceries. “That sounds like a good idea,” You agree.
An hour later after setting up a makeshift bed on the couch, the power goes out. “Dammit,” You curse as the sudden shift in lighting shocks you. “Hey it’s going to be alright, we have a million blankets, so many candles it’s probably a fire hazard, and if worse comes to worst you can steal my warmth.” She says as she traces patterns on the back of your hand to try to comfort you. “Thank you, Wanda,” You smile, scooching closer to her. “Hey, could I fidget with your hands for a bit?” You ask hesitantly even though you’re sure it wouldn’t bother her. “Of course,” She smiles as she moves closer to you and gives you her hands.
“Does it feel weird when I do this?” You ask, looking at her in the warm light of the candles and fireplace. “Do what? Play with my hands?” She asks curiously. “Yeah.” “I wouldn’t say it feels weird, more like kind of ticklish sometimes. But it feels pretty nice other times,” She responds, smiling warmly at you and your silly question. “Okay, I just wanted to make sure you weren’t uncomfortable or anything.” You smile back at her as you continue your fidgeting.
As the time passes the colder and colder you get. “Hey, Wanda?” You ask hesitantly as she lifts her head up from the book she’s been reading. “Yeah?” “Could I take you up on that offer to steal your warmth?” You ask nervously fidgeting with your hands. “Yeah, of course.” She responds, putting her book down and settling down so you’ll both be more comfortable. “Come here,” she smiles as she pats the spot next to her. Shyly smiling you crawl across the couch to lay next to her. As you settle down next to her she pulls you towards her so your head is on her chest. “Warmer?” She asks, peering down at you. “Mhm,” You mumble as you draw patterns on the back of her hand like she did for you earlier.
You two settle into a comfortable silence as both of you try to get some sleep and fail. “Y/n?” Wanda questions softly as to not disturb you if you had fallen asleep. “Yeah, Wanda?” You ask tiredly, turning to look at her better. “Forgive me if this is the wrong time to say this, but I feel like I should. You know I see how you look at me right?” She asks quietly to try to keep you from becoming too embarrassed. “Oh, um.” You mumble as you try to look away as you feel your face heat up. Feeling Wanda’s hand brush against your cheek, she turns you back to look at her. “It’s nothing to be embarrassed by, I look at you like that too” She smiles gently, as she moves her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. “You do?” You ask, shocked that your best friend could feel similarly. “Yes, I just didn’t want to say anything until I felt ready to give anything a try.” She responds. “You want to try us? But don’t you need more time?” You asked confused as you leaned into her touch even more. “I just told you that I wasn’t going to tell you until I was ready and I just told you, didn’t I?” She laughs. “I, Yeah, you did but I want to make sure.” “Well, I am sure.” She smiles as she uses her other hand to draw circles on your back. “Oh okay,” You smile excitedly as you finally accept that this is real and happening.
“So, may I kiss you?” She asks as she adores your smile and excitement. “Yes, please do.” You respond as she laughs and pulls you closer. Guiding you with her hand on your cheek, she pulls you close until your lips meet in a gentle kiss conveying both your excitement and nervousness. During your kiss, you note that she tastes distinctly of her jasmine tea from earlier. Parting for air, you smile as you think about how jasmine is probably your favorite tea now. “Something you want to share with the class?” She teases with a playful grin. “Oh, I was just thinking about how you taste yummy.” You respond as she giggles about your answer. “Okay, goof. Well how about we try to get some rest because it is getting late.” She suggests as you two settle back into a more comfortable position for sleeping. “Fine, but you have to take me out on a date tomorrow.” You add as you cuddle up into her side. “Deal,” she laughs as you both begin to drift off.

A/N: дорогой = dear | This is my first fanfic/drabble in years so if it’s not great forgive me lol. I'm not sure if I like the little backstory thing at the beginning so idk if I'll keep doing it or not. Also it’s shorter than I’d like it to be but I’m still getting back into the rhythm of writing again.
It’s been a few months since you joined the Avengers. It was honestly the best thing to happen. They had been very kind so far. Your powers had manifested at a young age but your parents were always scared of them. Well, they were scared of your powers as well as your “odd” behavior. You couldn’t see what was wrong with not looking people in the eyes or flapping your hands, but to your parents it was the biggest disgrace to happen. You learned at an early age to just cover up both your powers and “odd” behavior. Once you got older you eventually found the term “autistic” on some forums. After some research, it felt like a weight had been lifted. You weren’t “odd” or “wrong,” you were autistic.
Once you knew you weren’t bad for existing you stopped masking both your autism and your powers. Which landed you on the Avengers’ radar after you helped some civilians get out of a fire. After some evaluations they took you in as their newest recruit. Which is how you landed here. At the moment you were sitting in the compound lounge talking to one of your old friends on Discord. It was more stressful than you would’ve thought. As you had started to unmask more you realized that also meant you sort of forgot how to talk to allistics. You hadn’t even realized that you had been chewing your nails or rocking back and forth. That is until you felt a hand on your shoulder.
“Hey, are you alright?” You recognized the Sokovian accent as you turned towards her. “Uh, yeah I’m good.”
“Are you sure? Because you look stressed out,” She replied with a comforting smile.
“Well, I guess I am a bit.” You said as you turned to look at a painting on the wall. “Do you want to talk about it?” She asked as she sat down next to you.
“I, yeah I guess I do.” You sighed as you put your phone down and moved to sit more comfortably. “I don’t know, it’s just I’m trying to be more myself and stop changing myself so other people like me more. But I was just talking to one of my friends from high school and I just feel like I’m so much more awkward now.”
Wanda moved her hand to draw circles on the back of your palm before speaking, “I get that, but you’re not awkward. You’re you and that’s amazing. If you have to change yourself for someone to like you, then why would you want to be their friend?”
“I know, but it’s still so ingrained into me that who I am is wrong. Like I want to be good enough for someone but I don’t even know who I really am underneath my masking.” As you spoke you turned your hand over so you could squeeze Wanda’s hand.
“That’s alright. Those who truly love you and support you won’t mind being there for you while you figure it out. Just because your old friends might think you’re weirder now doesn’t disvalue our love for you. This whole team no matter how shy some of us are, love you and are glad you’re here with us.” As Wanda finished she motioned for you to cuddle up to her. “Thank you Wanda, I love you guys too.” You responded as you moved to lay your head on her chest.
“It’s not a problem Y/n, anytime you need some comfort I’ll be here for you.” She said as she began drawing patterns on your back. “Um, could you sing a song for me please? I really like your voice, it’s very comforting to me.” You asked hesitantly. “Of course.”
Wanda sang until she felt you relax in her arms, she smiled down at you. You looked much more content now. “You’re perfect as you are дорогой, don’t listen to anyone who says anything else.” She said as she kissed the top of your head before letting herself fall asleep as well.
