Who: wanda and others When: april & may Where: solvunn, horizon What: catch-all for the month, closed and open prompts within. Warnings: none at the moment, will mark as needed.
[ sam laughs at the look he gets, hands going up a bit defensively. alright, alright, yeah, he gets it. he should know better than anyone that wanda will be watching for all that, because she has that energy, that focus, on the people she cares about. he's no exception. ]
I won't, scout's honor. [ a beat, and then because he knows she's going to keep giving him that look, he follows with: ] I promise.
[ and then they're moving on, because it's as simple as that. sam's attention is back on wanda now, comfortable and easy - because things can be that way while they're here, and that's something he won't take for granted. because he does have a sister, which means he knows what those smiles mean, what that easy shrug means. sam is still grinning around the mouth of his bottle of beer, because wanda says girlfriend and i told him he could and it might be a little silly, but sam is going to support silly. he's going to fully and wholeheartedly encourage silly, when they all know what waits for them back home. ]
And are you gonna call him boyfriend? Or are you taking this more casual? [ it's not an attempt to make this embarrassing exactly, but there is a joking sort of tone to it. a teasing that sam feels like he can have, because wanda is avoiding his eye contact and kicking her feet and they are in his home. a home. a regular house talking about regular things with someone he does consider like a sister. a sister.
loss is never easy, ever, and vision isn't far from his mind in this moment. still, he wants to celebrate this, so he's going to look absolutely offended at the concept he could make this a big deal. ]
I would never. Now, Steve might make things super weird, what with his whole backwards view on dating and all that, and I'm guessing Matt knows what he's getting into where we're all concerned, so. [ okay, okay, he can chill. the dramatics of it all fall away after a moment. a pendulum that sways back and forth. ]
I'm happy for you, Wanda. This is great. And as long as he makes you happy- that's all I care about. [ a smile, one that's genuine and honest and exactly that - happy. ] Now, we're gonna have to talk about bringing a lawyer into the family, but if you trust him, then I do too.
[wanda would very much like to say something about how she's not taking this more 'casual', but it feels redundant. the avengers—those who were close to her, especially in their years as fugitives—must be well aware that if there is one thing about wanda, is that she commits to a feeling. should she be cross at anyone in the quinjet, they would feel that anger strongly until it finally dissipated after an apology or after talking it out; when she felt sadness from her losses, it was a dire task to get her out of that heavy cloud of sorrow; when she loves, she loves entirely, in her own quiet ways, and there was always a certainty that—no matter what—wanda never felt anything halfway.
so, there's no need to confirm what sam already knows.]
Steve made it less weird. [take that, sam] But I think he's just catching up with the times about everything in the twenty-first century. [or... take that, steve? making light of all her big brother figures. wanda does make eye contact at this point.] I think he and Matt drink together sometimes.
[that reminds her of the beer in her hands, but she doesn't bring it to her lips. instead, she just smiles, a thank you on the tip of her tongue, though she knows she need not say it.
instead,]
We both know that even if we had him talking law-stuff to us, we'd never listen, right?
[because that's just how it is with the avengers, though a terrible quality to boast about.]
