To say that she’s afraid would be a lie. Wanda has been afraid for years now, even after joining the Avengers-- there’s always a threat looming over her head, nightmares in her sleep, fights among friends and allies-- but taking a step forward and kissing Vision didn’t make her feel anywhere close. There’s adrenaline rushing through her veins, determination in her eyes as she takes a step forward, hesitates for a second before kissing him.
It’s not perfect, not by any chance. She’s not sure if this is something he’d be into, doesn’t even know if it’s something he can feel the same way she does--- and to make things worse, since she’d taken him by surprise he was now stumbling back, hitting a wall. “ Sorry, I... t-that was too much, I didn’t... ” Wanda pauses the kiss, barely moving away despite her words, eyes still shut as her nose wrinkles, “ I shouldn’t have. ” Maybe she was starting to feel a little bit afraid.
Her eyes open slowly, unsure of what she’s going to see when she finally looks at him, and before she can apologize again he’s gently holding her face between his palms, leaning in. She melts into his touch, hands moving to wrap around his wrists as she smiles. / @heroibus cont.
