Y/N’s POV

After arriving in Mexico, everyone decided to get some much-needed rest after the long plane ride to the villa which was definitely nice. The group decided to spend most of the first week exploring Mexico and seeing all that it had to offer. I spent much of the first week as a tour guide for the gang, but I didn’t mind all too much since I also love being able to explore Mexico! I took us all to Mexico City which took a whole entire day of driving to get to. And then we spent two days there and got to take in the city and appreciate all that it had to offer like the different shops, foods, and touristy sites. We also drove out to Puerto Vallarta so that we could go snorkeling at the Marietas Islands which everyone really enjoyed!

Then we spent the last day of exploring by spending an entire day surfing at Litibú Beach. Which I personally enjoyed because it was funny to see all the guys falling off of their surfboards. We spent the rest of the week lounging about in the infinity pool, in the cinema room watching movies, in our rooms sleeping, or in the gardens. Our first week was pretty much a success and was extremely chill. However, I did notice that Wanda and Carol have been acting really strange and almost aggressive at times.

For example, just the other day Wanda and I were in the cinema room while everyone else was busy. We had been discussing the movie and she started laughing at something that I had said. I was admiring her for a moment before she looked over at me. We stayed staring at each other for a moment and I swear we were about to kiss when Carol came into the room. This made the both of us back away from each other. Then Carol said something about liking the movie we were watching before sitting in between Wanda and me. It was safe to say that the moment had been ruined and it was extremely awkward. Shortly after that, the girls started going at it again before both of them stormed off.

Then on the day that we went surfing, Carol was having some trouble getting the hang of things. So I went over and spent time trying to help her learn how to surf. We ended up just sitting on the board after a while and talking about different things. At some point she got really close to me which caught me off guard it almost looked like she wanted to kiss me. Then seemingly out of nowhere Wanda accidentally crashed into us and sent us into the water. Wanda apologized to us, well more to me really, and claimed it was an accident. I still don’t totally believe it because she was smirking slightly, but Carol was extremely peeved off and quickly got out of the water and stormed off afterward.

And then after we had gotten back to the villa from snorkeling, Wanda was baking cookies in the kitchen. So I decided to join her and eventually tried to help her out. It all started off fine, but we started to goof around. We started to throw batter, flour, eggs, and just anything that we could get our hands on at each other. We eventually stopped when we went tumbling to the floor after Wanda slipped on an egg. I tried to catch her but fell with her instead and ended up just softening the blow by turning us around and switching places with her. We burst out laughing afterward and once we calmed down, we realized just how close we were, and the tension rose.

We both started leaning in and were close to kissing when we suddenly heard footsteps and jumped apart. When we got back up, we looked over only to see Carol and Monica walking into the kitchen. We cleaned up the kitchen and Wanda quickly left right after we finished. I went to chase after her, but Carol stopped me to talk about something, so I didn’t get the chance to catch up with Wanda. For whatever reason, whenever I am with either of the girls the other one will “magically” find us and have some reason to interrupt whatever is currently going on. I don’t know if they’re doing it to get on each other’s nerves or what.

I’ve decided that I want no part of it, so I’m currently relaxing in the hammock while I read a book. However, my peace is rudely interrupted when someone flips me over. The hammock spins before I fall onto the ground with a loud thud making me groan in pain. I look up and notice Monica standing over me with a hand over her mouth as she tries to muffle her loud laughter. “What the hell Mon?! Did you have to knock me out of the damn hammock? You could have just called my name or tapped me on the shoulder or something.” I say to her with a grimace on my face as I get up off the ground.

She grins at me before shrugging her shoulders. “Yeah, but where’s the fun in that? Now stop your whining and come on the group is deciding what we want to do next!” I roll my eyes at her nonchalant attitude but follow her inside nonetheless and sit down next to her on the couch. “Alright guys, so I was thinking that since we’ve all been kind of doing our own thing these past few days that we could do something together today. Some of the girls and I talked it out and decided that we should have a chill beach day today, so what do you all think?” Natasha proposes to us. Everyone murmurs amongst each other before looking back at her and nodding their heads in agreement.

Natasha grins at all of us. “Alright then go get your swimming suits, bikinis, and swim trunks on and let’s go have fun!” Everyone goes to leave but before they can I say, “Since we’re going to have a beach day why don’t I head to the store and get some burgers for us to put on the grill and some snacks and drinks?” Everyone agrees with me easily but before I can leave Wanda and Carol both offer to come with me. This causes them both to glare over at each other. Before I can get out a word, Pietro jumps to my rescue and says, “How about I go with Y/N and the rest of you go get ready while we’re gone? Alright, bye guys!” He turns me around and pushes me towards the door. I sigh in relief and grab my keys before we head out the front door.

Pietro and I spend the drive talking about random things until we finally reach the store and promptly head inside. As we are getting everything that we need Pietro suddenly stops and sends me a curious glance. “So Y/N, do you have a type when dating?” I laugh before I respond and say, “Now Pietro you know I’m into girls.” He playfully rolls his eyes and chuckles at my response. “You know what I mean Y/LN. Like is there anything in particular that you look for? Like, are you into blondes or brunettes? Do you like shy or outgoing girls? That sort of thing.” He says in mock exasperation which causes me to laugh out loud. Once I’ve finally settled down, I smile in his direction and quirk my brow at him.

“Where is this even coming from? This is such an odd thing to talk about Piet.” I try to deflect away from the conversation by asking my own question. I do this in hopes that he will grow distracted and forget he ever even asked me. He smirks at me as he says, “Oh come on! I’m just curious so humor me.” I simply sigh when I realize I won’t be getting out of this before nodding my head at him.

“Fine! I usually prefer brunettes who are more on the quiet side but who can also be outgoing around the right people. I like girls who care deeply about the people who matter the most to them because they tend to be sweethearts. I like it when they don’t have to try too hard to impress you. Instead, it’s just something that comes naturally to them because they’re just that likable. I like someone who makes me laugh and who can not only be my girlfriend but also my best friend.”

Once I finish talking, I look over at Pietro who has a soft smile on his face before it quickly turns into a smirk. “That sounds oddly specific Y/N. Is there possibly someone that you already have in mind?” I blush profusely at his teasing assumption as I speak. “Yeah, I might just possibly have my eye on someone. But before you ask, no I’m not going to tell you who now let’s head back to the villa.” Pietro chuckles and shakes his head at my response as we finally head back to the villa with the food, snacks, and drinks.

Wanda’s POV

After changing into my bikini, I throw on a pair of shorts and one of Y/N’s muscle shirts before going to join the rest of the group outside. God, I really hope that Pietro’s idiot self isn’t saying anything embarrassing to Y/N. Knowing him, he’s probably asking her intrusive questions about her love life since that seems to be a hot topic at the moment for some reason. I know he’s trying to be a good older brother by helping me with my crush, and I love him for it, but he can be a bit much sometimes.

I sigh as I finally reach the beach and look around for the girls before finally spotting them and heading over in their direction to join them. I sit down next to Natasha who glances over at me to send me a smile before going back to her conversation with Monica. I look over at Maria who has bored look on her face before she sees me and comes over to talk. All too soon I notice the nuisance also known as Carol Danvers approaching the group. I roll my eyes which Maria apparently caught and she simply shook her head at me in slight amusement.

After what seemed like eons Pietro and Y/N finally returned and I couldn’t help but keep my gaze on the girl who constantly occupied my every thought. I smiled softly when I saw her messing around with Pietro before she ran off to tackle her younger cousin into the sand. I quietly giggle at her goofiness and continue to watch as the two get back onto their feet and begin to play one-on-one soccer with each other. Y/N moves swiftly around Kate with ease and has a confident smirk on her face. She runs past Kate with the ball and finally sinks the ball into the net before Kate even has a chance to block it.

She cheers out in victory before going over to Kate who is pouting slightly and ruffling her hair playfully as they get to their starting positions again. God, she always looks great when she’s doing things that she loves. She always smiles a bit brighter and laughs a little louder and I love seeing her so happy. I think to myself as I quietly swoon over her yet again. However, my thoughts suddenly get cut off short by an annoying voice.

“God Y/N looks so hot right now, but then again she always looks hot while doing most things.” The blonde smirks in my direction once she notices that I am looking over at her. I find my jaw ticking in annoyance for the thousandth time throughout this entire trip. “Y/N is much more than just a pretty face Danvers. And you would know that if you actually genuinely cared about her, however, it’s not like you’d notice. Especially since you’re always focused on such shallow things.” I venomously spit out at the blonde who scowls and glares at me in response.

“Oh, trust me, there are plenty of other less shallow things that I like about her Maximoff. And unlike you, I’m actually willing to do something about them instead of sitting around on the sidelines.” She scoffs as she says this before getting up and heading towards Y/N who is now alone since Kate seems to be heading over in our direction. I seethe in jealousy as I watch Danvers flirt and be overly touchy with Y/N. Y/N simply smiles and laughs as she talks animatedly about something before nodding her head at the blonde.

Y/N reaches down and takes off her shirt before heading towards the water with Carol who throws a smirk my way before running over and tackling Y/N into the water. Y/N resurfaces from the water and looks over at Carol in disbelief before splashing her in the face and laughing out loud. The two continue to have fun in the water together and I can do nothing except watch in jealousy and sadness as Danvers easily does what I am much too afraid to do. Beach days suck. I should have just stayed in my room. I think to myself as I sigh and pull my legs to my chest before resting my head on my knees in defeat.
