Chapter Text
Your dreamless sleep was rudely interrupted by the shriek of the alarm clock on Wanda’s side of the bed. You groaned in response and nudged your girlfriend so she would hurry to turn it off. She sniffled away a bit of her morning congestion and sat up, clicking it off before rubbing her eyes gently.
You whined softly because you could no longer feel her legs tangled between yours and turned to lay on your stomach so you could bury your face into the pillow your head rested on.
“Baby, we have to get up,” Wanda murmured while rubbing your back gently.
You sighed and she smiled at your unwillingness to get out of bed. Your girlfriend gave you a sad smile when you turned away from the pillow and she saw the dreadful look on your face. “Can we just lie here for a moment before we get up, please?” You whispered.
Wanda nodded wordlessly and moved herself back onto her pillow and held her arms out so you could settle into them. You routinely tucked your head underneath her chin and played with the dainty necklace that rested on her collarbone. Wandas fingers danced along your spine in the comforting way she knew you loved, and her other hand rested at your waist.
“Natasha will be upset at us for being late, dove,” Wanda noted, though she didn’t seem to care all that much.
You gave her a half nod and replied, “I know.”
The both of you knew that staying in bed was selfish, though it wasn’t all that bad because neither of you planned on staying in more than five minutes. You both felt guilty, but neither of you knew if this was the last time you would get to lay in the same bed together. A bad feeling was settled in your chest and stomach and you couldn’t shake it.
“Your thoughts are very loud,” Wanda pressed a kiss to your forehead, letting her lips linger on your skin for a moment.
“I’m sorry, I know it makes you-“
“Don’t apologize,” Wanda interrupted. “I’m scared too.”
Her confession made your stomach do a little flip. Your breath started to pick up and you felt the urge to cry. Wanda’s brow furrowed and she looked down at you, noticing the slightly panicked look on your face. The hand that she was using to rub your back moved up to your head, and she scratched your scalp lightly, kissing your forehead again.
“There’s no need for you to worry, my love. I promise we will both be just fine,” She shifted in bed so she could see your face and cup your cheek. Her thumb moved back and forth on your cheekbone and you closed your eyes for a second, moving your hand up to her wrist, before sighing.
“Everything is changing and I hate it.” You mumbled, opening your eyes so you could look at her. Your heart fluttered at the way she was gazing at you.
Wanda nodded and kissed your nose, “I hate it, too. But, we knew that we wouldn’t be able to hide away forever. The world won’t stop for us.”
“Yeah, but... is it so bad that I want it to? I’m so tired of watching you get hurt, Wands. I hate it so much.”
“Will it help you if I promise to be more careful today?” Wanda offered.
“I know that if it came to it, you would take a bullet for me, so no, not really. I do appreciate it though,” You gave a halfhearted smile and took her hand off your cheek and put it in your own, moving it up to your lips so you could leave a kiss at her knuckles. You noticed her rings were all off. You knew she took them off to sleep, she always put them on the bathroom counter next to her toothbrush so she could find them easily the next morning. Your heart ached at the thought of something happening to her and not seeing her rings on the counter in the morning while you brush your teeth.
“Stop that,” She chided. ‘Your thoughts are very loud.’ replayed in your head.
Tears pricked at the corners of your eyes and you nodded. You both knew what was coming, you were going to start crying. She probably would too. But you had to get up and out of bed. The world needed saving and the evils of the world don’t care about two girls in love.
