Y/N’s POV
I nervously walk over toward Wanda and sigh lightly as I attempt to pull myself together so that I won’t completely embarrass myself in front of her. I tap her shoulder to get her attention and when she turns around, she smiles when she realizes that it was me. “Hey Y/N, what’s up?” she says kindly while looking at me curiously and sending me a smile that melts my heart. My god, she is absolutely adorable. I think to myself and stare at her in adoration for a moment before shaking it off before she realizes.
“I-I was wondering if it isn’t too much trouble if you could maybe give me a ride home?” Her smile falls slightly, and she is silent for a while which makes me grow nervous and begin to ramble out nervously. “I-I mean it’s totally cool if you can’t or if you just don’t want to. There’s no pressure to say yes or anything! You know what j-just forget I asked, I’ll just walk home it’s n-no problem after all I don’t live too far from the park.”
I turn around and my shoulders slump down as I let out a quiet sigh of defeat. I go to walk away from her but I’m stopped when I hear Wanda speak. “Y/N wait!” she says as she grabs my hand making me turn to look back at her. “I-I’m sorry for not responding right away, my m-mind kind of wandered away for a second there. I don’t m-mind riding you. Wait! N-no! I-I mean giving you a ride! A ride home that is! S-sorry.”
I watch her nervously stumble over her words and I blush slightly at the insinuation that she accidentally made as I send a shy grin her way. “You’re sure that it’s no problem?” she blushes and chooses to remain silent as she simply nods in response to my question which in turn makes me chuckle at her. “I was also thinking that I could text the guys and see if they’re together. That way we could maybe stop by and let them know about the trip before you drop me off?” I propose the idea to her, and she nods in affirmative making me pull out my phone to shoot the boys a text.

I look back up at Wanda and notice her quickly glance back over at me and shoot me a small smile. “Alright! The boys are all at Stark’s house which is good since it’s on the way to my place. So, you ready to go?” I explain to her as I shoot her a smile in return as I put my phone back in my pocket. She nods at me, and we say our goodbyes to the girls before heading over to Wanda’s Buick.
“By the way, your brother told me to ask you to get him some Cheetos before we head over.” I chuckle as I see her roll her eyes once I tell her what her twin asked for. “Of course he wants me to get him snacks like always. Honestly, I don’t know how he’s still healthy enough to still be on the track team when he eats a bunch of junk.” She states as she laughs while shaking her head as she thinks of her brother’s unhealthy eating habits which makes me throw my head back in laughter.
Once I manage to pull myself together, I notice her looking over at me with a fuzzy smile before looking away when she sees me glance over at her. Her eyes quickly snap back to look at the road and I quietly laugh at her shy demeanor. I keep my eyes on her as I find myself falling into thoughts that revolve purely around her.
God, she really is just absolutely perfect. The smile on her face is just everything and I would do anything to keep it there. I think to myself as I continue to admire the gorgeous girl next to me with a lovestruck look on my face. “Y/N/N!! Hey, are you listening to me?” I snap out of my thoughts as I hear the Sokovian girl shout my name while shooting me a worried glance as I continue to remain unresponsive.
I begin to internally kick myself for having a simping session right in front of her. I shake off my all-consuming thoughts of her as I shoot her a sheepish look. “Sorry about that Wands, I must’ve spaced out for a bit there. What were you saying?” I say to her in an apologetic tone before focusing my attention on her as I await her response. She purses her lips slightly which draws my attention to her lips for a moment. I snap back to the present moment at the sound of her voice.
“You seemed like you were pretty far off into la la land. You also had this lovestruck look on your face, you got anything to tell me?” She says in a playful tone. She looks over and wiggles her eyebrows at me making me blush and look away from her. Great so then she did catch my lovestruck look. I think to myself as my heart races slightly at the thought that I had possibly been caught red-handed looking at her.
“Oh? Do my eyes deceive me or are you blushing right now?” She shoots me a sly grin as she notices my flushed cheeks making me duck my head. I nervously let out a chuckle while rubbing the back of my neck. “I am not blushing! It’s just a little bit hot in your car is all! Besides aren’t your eyes supposed to be on the road,” I say quickly as I attempt to make up an excuse for the tinge of pink that currently inhabits my cheeks.
She giggles at my sorry excuse for a lie before saying “Oh no for sure. It’s totally hot in here despite my AC being on. No, but seriously. Come on Y/N/N, you know that you can tell me anything. Soo… who is she? Do I know her?” She asks me with curiosity in her voice and shoots me a small smile as she glances over at me. Her question makes me stay quiet for a moment and fiddle with my fingers as I think of a response.
“I mean… yeah there might be someone that I’m into,” I respond quietly while shooting her a glance before looking back down at my hands. She is quiet for a moment which causes me to look up at her nervously as I wait for her to say something. I go to say something else but before I can she goes to respond making me stay quiet. “Oh! D-Do I umm… do I know her?” she says in a soft and slightly nervous tone as I see her hold on tighter to the steering wheel.
“Umm… w-well I mean y-you umm… y-yeah I would s-say that you kind of k-know her I g-guess.” The nervousness is extremely apparent in my answer based on how much I just stuttered. I’m afraid that I have just given away too much and have possibly let her know about my feelings for her. She says nothing for a while which makes me worry that she has figured it out and will no longer what anything to do with me.
I give her a moment as she seems to spend a few moments in her head thinking. She seems to think of something and there is a sudden shift in her demeanor. Her facial expression hardens as she tightly grips the steering wheel enough to make her knuckles go white. “It’s Danvers isn’t it.” she practically spits out in a venomous tone that catches me off guard slightly as I try to take in the hostility in her voice. I’ve never heard her talk like this.
I know that she and Carol don’t exactly get along but where did the sudden hostility come from? These are the only things swirling in my mind as I give her a confused response. “What?” She shoots me an aggravated glance before saying “The girl that you were thinking of. It was Danvers, wasn’t it? I mean you do seem to spend an awful lot of time with her, and you seem to invite her to hang out with us as well. It would make sense for it to be her.”
Her posture grows increasingly tense as her tone is filled with what can only be described as aggression and a hint of despair. If I’m being honest, it almost sounds as if she’s… jealous? No that can’t be. There’s no way that Wanda actually feels the same way, right? I think to myself as I remain quiet and continue to look at her questioningly. I realize that I should probably respond before I agitate her even further.
“Wands, I said that I might be into someone but that doesn’t mean that that’s what I was thinking about. Also, I’m just trying to be nice when I spend time with Carol and invite her along with the group. There doesn’t have to be some kind of hidden meaning behind it.” I say while chuckling hoping that it will diffuse the tension in the car. I also hope that it will help calm the angry Sokovian next to me.
She is quiet for a moment as she seems to be processing what I’ve just said. She parks the car and turns it off as we’ve finally arrived at the Stark residence. My response seems to somewhat wash away her anger as I see her face form into a look of realization and slight embarrassment as she turns in her seat to look at me. Her mouth opens and closes as she seems to think of what to say to me.
“Oh. Umm… right. So then do you like Carol? Or do you like someone else?” She asks me in a much calmer tone and she nervously plays with the rings on her fingers as she waits for my response. “Well, I-” I go to say but am cut off by a loud pounding noise coming from my window that seems to scare both of us. We both look over to find the source of the sound, only to see Pietro. He crouches by the window as he shouts for us to get out of the car already which makes us exit the vehicle and stand in front of him.
The Sokovian boy looks between the two of us and shoots us a mischievous look. “What were you guys doing in the car for so long?” he says in a teasing voice that makes me blush lightly. Wanda gives her brother a withering look before smacking his head. “Ouch! What gives sestra?! I was just asking a question.” The Sokovian boy pouts as he rubs the spot where his twin hit him. “We were talking before you rudely interrupted us!” Wanda shouts at her twin while glaring at him and trying to tell him something with her eyes.
He gives her an apologetic look and mumbles out a quick sorry that makes Wanda huff out in annoyance. She walks a bit away from us while seemingly cursing her brother in Sokovian. Pietro and I watch as the Sokovian girl stomps away from us before looking at each other and laughing. “Sorry for interrupting your conversation,” he says sheepishly making me chuckle. “No worries, Piet it’s cool. I know that it was an accident, but maybe you should apologize to your sister.”
He nods before running to catch up with Wanda and once he does, I see him speaking to her about what happened and apologizing for his actions. I see Wanda sigh before nodding her head at him and I assume that she accepts his apology as I see the two Sokovians hugging each other. Seeing their interaction brings a smile to my face but it is promptly wiped off of my face and replaced by shock as I witness Wanda once again smack Pietro.
I walk over towards them and hear Pietro’s voice come out in a whine as he says “…but sestraaa! I really wanted some Cheetos!” Wanda rolls her eyes at the boy which makes me laugh at the two of them and lightly shake my head at the two siblings who are arguing like children. “Come on guys we’ve got important things to talk about with everyone else,” I say before walking away from the Sokovian twins towards the entrance of the Stark residence.
