A/N: Thanks for reading, I hope you like it!
----------------
Walking on your way to your girlfriend's house you passed in front of your regular flower shop.
Mariel, the elderly woman who owns the place smiles at you the moment you walked in.
- Y/N! It's good to see you - she greets kindly
- Good evening Mrs. Mariel, how are you doing today? - you asks with smile
- Everything's been lovely here sweetie, but I missed your visits, have you been busy?
You nod and take a glance at the rose the woman it's picking from the bouquet on the shelf.
-Yes, kind of, school has been killing me these last few days and I barely had time to go to Wanda's. - you say, trying to avoid saying the real reasons why you haven't visited Wanda for almost two weeks.
- Here's your regular - she says with a smile handing out the beautiful rose she has picked for you today - I hope this helps you to make up to her for those days
You laugh a little and pay for the flower before making your way to the door. You really hope that flower could help you.
Sometimes your friends would ask, why you always brought only one flower to Wanda. They didn't understand why you didn't give her the full bouquet all in once.
The answer was very simple actually, it was a little tradition that started since you were 9 years old and Wanda was your best friend in middle school.
------
- Hold on sweetheart, let me buy some flowers for your mother - your dad said to you, stopping on a flower stand.
You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion
- Why are you bringing flowers to mommy?
Your dad laughed a little and payed for the bouquet.
- Sometimes people give flowers to their love ones just as a reminder of how much they love or appreciate them - he explained.
You thought about that for a moment.
- So you are giving flowers to mom because you love her - you said making sure you have understood.
Your father nodded with a smile.
- If I appreciate my friend, that means I can give her flowers ? - you asked
- Yes, well if she likes flowers it would be a nice present.
The next day you took one of the roses from the bouquet your father gave to your mother and put it on your backpack.
When you arrived to school, you waited for your best friend Wanda to arrive.
Once you spotted her on the crowd of kids you made you way towards her.
- Hi Wanda! Hi Pietro! - you greeted the girl and her brother.
- Hi Y/N! - they greeted you back with big smiles.
Pietro ran away from the two of you to meet with his friends and Wanda and you sat on the swings waiting for the bell to ring.
- I got you something - you said happy.
- What is it? - she asked curiously
- First of all, do you like flowers?
The girl nodded with a smile.
- Yes, I like them
- Good, my dad brought flowers to my mom yesterday, and he said that you give flowers to people you appreciate or love, so I brought a flower for you - you said and handed to the girl the flower you had brought to for her.
Wanda smiled and took the beautiful rose from your hands.
- Y/N, this is beautiful
- I know, I hope you like it, I really appreciate that you are my best friend - you said
The girl was mesmerized with your gift. The rose made her feel very special. Without thinking twice, and following her instincts she kissed your cheek. It was a little kiss, pure and innocent, full of grateful. You felt your cheeks turning all red and a smile appeared in your face, your tummy feeling butterflies.
- Why was that for? - you asked still astonished.
- I appreciate your gift too Y/N, it's my way to thank you for it - she said happy.
- So, if i give you another flower, you're gonna give me another kiss? - you asked shyly
She just nodded smiling.
------
From that day on you always tried to bring a flower to Wanda everytime you could. But it was always just one flower (Mostly because at that time you couldn't afford anything more expensive).
Slowly you started developing feelings for her, from a little crush at 10, to really falling in love when you were 14.
At first you thought that those feelings were just one-sided, but near your graduation day Wanda admitted she felt jealous about you asking other girl to go to the prom with you.
Of course you changed your plans and you ended up going with your best friend, and that night you asked her to be your girlfriend.
Since that day on you two became inseparable, and you kept giving her a flower anytime you could. And she kept giving you kisses for it.
But now, you were walking to her home with nothing but bad news.
You made it to her porch, meeting her father painting the front of the house.
- Hello Y/N, it's been a while since the last time I saw walking in here - he says while holding a paint brush on his hand.
- Hello Mr. Maximoff, I know, school keeps me busy, I guess - you say shyly.
He smiles slightly and leaves the paint brush on the can.
- You know your dad told me about New York, don't you?
Your smile fade in a second. Staying still you look to the ground shamed.
- Hey don't worry, I know you don't want to leave, but you need to tell her now or she'll be hurt if you do it too late - the man says as he approaches to you putting a hand or your shoulder.
- But Mr. Maximoff, what if she wants to break up? Maybe she doesn't want to handle with a long distance relationship and I... I don't... - your voice starts to break as little tears are formed in the corner of your eyes.
- Y/N, Wanda would never do that, your love is really strong. Believe me, I've watch my child falling for you since you were 9, I know what I'm saying. You just have to tell her in order to not hurt her feelings and not break the trust you two have built.
You nod looking at the man.
- I know, I'm telling her today I just need to...
Suddenly the door opens and the figure your girlfriend appears in front of you.
- Baby you're here! - she says excited, jumping into your arms.
You catch her in a hug laughing.
- Hello my love, i missed you - you say with the girl still in your arms.
- I missed you too... A lot - she say breaking the hug but with your hands still on her waist and hers in your shoulders.
- Well I'm here now
She smiles slowly approaching to your lips when the sudden cough of her father breaks your moment.
- Oh dad, I didn't saw you there - Wanda says sheepishly taking a little distance from you.
- Yeah I noticed, I was having a word with Y/N before she got in there - he says looking at you.
- Oh no, what did you say to her? - the girl asks worried
- Nothing bad, I swear - he says taking his paint brush again and making his way back to what he was doing.
She looks at you and you wink at her.
- We just talk about my absence this last weeks, that's all - you say and she smiles.
- Well let's get inside, my mother just baked chocolate chip cookies.
You nod and take her hand to start walking.
- Have fun girls, but not too much - her father says and Wanda rolls her eyes while you just smile a little.
Once in the kitchen you meet her mother, Irina and Pietro.
- Hello sweetheart, it's so lovely to see you around - the woman says to you and gives you a hug.
- Hello Mrs. Maximoff, it's really nice to see you too - you greet smiling.
- Hi Y/N - Pietro says with a cookie on his mouth
- Hi Piet, good to see you - you say to him with a fist.
- So we're taking some cookies upstairs mom - Wanda says putting some of the cookies in a plate and holding your hand.
- Okay girls, I'll call you when dinner is ready - Irina says and you and Wanda nod.
Once alone in the girl's room she locks the door and the first thing she does is give you a long kiss.
Your hands goes to her waist and her arms round your neck.
- I really missed you detka - she says between kisses.
- I know, I missed you even more - you say pulling her closer to you.
After a few minutes of kissing she pulls away and stares at you smiling.
- I really missed this sight - you furrow your eyebrows in confusion - You with my lipstick all over your cute face - she explains and you laugh.
- Well I missed being cover all by your lipstick my love - you answer and she pecks your lips once more.
- Did you bring my flower? - she asks you with a light of hope in her eyes.
- You know I always do - you say and show her the rose that you've been holding in your right hand since you met her on her porch.
She takes it and then she kisses you again.
- Thanks baby, I missed your flowers... Damn I missed everything about you.
You both laugh and you pull her in an embrace.
- Me too Wanda.
You stay like that for a couple of minutes. Just feeling each other and enjoying each other's presence.
- So are we going to eat those cookies or? - you ask and she pulls out from the hug
- Sure bug, let's eat some cookies.
You and Wanda take the plate and get outside her window, sitting in the roof and enjoying the view. After finish eating you lay in there and she cuddles with you, her arm laying on your stomach and her head resting on your chest. Soft music on the back and a warm breeze on the air. The moment it's perfect. You know it's time to talk.
- Honey - you call her out softly, not wanting to break the calm of the moment.
- Hmm - she answers
- We need to talk... Or I need to tell you something - you say.
She gets up from your chest and looks at you worried and confused.
- What happened baby? Is everything okay?
- Yes but there's something I need to talk to you about.
She nods.
- Okay, what is it? - she asks again.
You take a deep breath, not wanting to meet her eyes. A silence takes place between you two.
- Y/N you're scaring me, what happened? - she tries again.
Okay, it's time.
- Wanda, do you remember when I told you that my father got a call from his job where they told him that he could get a promotion?
- Yes, you told me a few months ago, why?
You take another breath and start playing with your rings nervously.
- Well, a few weeks ago he got a call again and they told him that after some tests he got the promotion.
- Oh my God baby, that is amazing! Your parents must be so happy about this! - she congrats your father happily.
- Yes they are, they're even throwing a party next week to celebrate, they told me to invite you and your family - you say and she smiles.
- Thanks babe, you know we're obviously going, my parents will be very happy for your father too
You smile a little and then look at your hands avoiding her gaze for the next part of your news.
- There's something more - you say
- What? What do you mean? - she asks confuse.
Finally getting the courage to look her in the eyes you say.
- The promotion means he needs to move to New York to work in the central office of the company... And they require him to be there as soon as possible - you finally drop the bomb.
You see her face expression change, appalled by the new information.
- New York?... So you're mov... You're moving? Like... you're really leaving? - she rambles.
- Yes, it looks like it - you say
She gets up and gets inside her bedroom again. You follow her immediately.
- Wanda, what are you thinking? - you ask.
She sits on the bed and you do the same taking a sit next to her.
- When did you knew about this?
Her question takes you by surprise. It's been exactly two weeks and three days since your father told you about this, two weeks and three days since you told Wanda you were very busy to go to her house.
- Y/N I asked you something. When did your father told you about this?
You look at ground.
- Two weeks ago.
She gasp a little, but you can't look at her.
- Why didn't you tell me about this sooner? How much time do you have left? - you can hear her voice raising, she's getting mad.
- About one week, we're leaving the day after the party - you say.
- One week?! You only had three weeks left in here and you waited until the last week to tell me about this. What were you thinking? We could've done so many thing in that time. You were waiting to tell me on your way to the airport? Are you gonna break up with me? - she starts yelling.
- What? No! No! I would never... I was just... I'm sorry Wanda. I just didn't knew how to tell you about this...
She laughs bitterly.
- Yeah, waiting till now was the best way Y/N...
She stands from the bed and walks towards her window. The night had fall to this point and the moon was starting to shine.
You stay on the bed, unsure on what to do.
- Are you gonna break up with me? - you ask out of a sudden.
She turns to see you, shaking her head
- No, never, I'm just mad that you didn't told me about this sooner... We could've talk about it and find a solution
- There's no solution baby, I need to go with my parents - you say finally standing up from the bed and wrapping her in an embrace.
She starts crying on your shoulder and silently you start crying too.
- I don't want you to go... I need you - she says
- I need you too, but we can make this work if you want to try, and i promise I understand if you don't cause I know long distance relationships are not for everybody
- Didn't you heard me? I'm NOT breaking up with you - she says with her head still on your shoulder - I'm your girlfriend and you're mine, here, in New York and in any other part of the world. I love you Y/N...
- And I love you too.
-Girls dinner is ready! - your hear her mom shouting from the hall and knocking on the door.
- Yes mom, just a minute - she says separating from you, sniffling her nose as you try to wipe the tears from your eyes.
- Let's have dinner okay? Then we'll go back to this conversation - you say and she nods - Do you think they'll know we cried? - you ask and she laughs.
- Probably...
You both laugh and go downstairs. Just as you said, her family notice your faces and her mother looks to her father worried.
- I see you told her already - her father says.
You nod and Wanda looks at you confuse
- My father knew about it? - she asks
- Yes, my dad told him - you explain to her.
She looks at her father with a clearly upset face.
- You knew it and you didn't told me? I could've scold her about it before - she says and her father laughs a little
- Sorry honey, it wasn't my place to tell you - Olef says.
- Tell her what? Why did you scolded Y/N? What are you all talking about? - Pietro says even more confuse than his sister.
- My father got a promotion on his job and we have to move to New York - you explain your friend and his face change immediately.
- What?! Why nobody told me about this? - he starts talking - Are you leaving school?
- No Piet, I'll drive every day from New York to come here for school - you say humorous.
He shakes his head and laughs - Yeah sorry, I got nervous.
Everybody laugh and start eating dinner.
- But yeah, my school in New York is ready, they're expecting to have me there in three weeks - you explain bringing the school topic back to the conversation.
Wanda looks away from you trying not to cry. But hearing that you already had your life planned in New York makes her sad and upset.
- Three weeks? So you're getting to know the city for two weeks before school - Irina says and you nod
- Yes, my father needs to be there next week but I'll have two free weeks - you explain.
Pietro and Wanda look at each other. Definitely their twin connection was still working after so many years.
- So you're saying that you don't need to leave next week? That you could stay for another two weeks and there would be no problem? - Pietro says trying to explain his point hoping you would understand.
- Well they want me to go with them but... Yes maybe I could stay here until I had to go to school - you say happily, understanding what your friend wanted to say
- And you can stay here with us! - Irina says excited - If Olef agrees, of course
Wanda's father smiles.
- Of course I agree, we just need to talk with Y/N's parents
And so you did, that night when you come back home you talk with your parents about your little plan. After so many talks with you and Wanda's parents they allowed you to stay a couple days more before going to New York.
It was Thursday and Wanda was helping you to pack some of your clothes to stay at her house and to pack all of your things for New York.
- I want to keep some of your sweatshirts and t-shirts with me - she request, standing in front of your almost empty closet.
You look at her smiling
- Of course honey, but only if I can take some of yours with me too - you also request and she nods.
- Of course you're taking some of mines too, I want you to keep me as close as I will keep you - she says walking towards you - Then, when we see each other again we'll trade clothes once more.
You frown, setting your arms around her waist.
- Why?
- So then your clothes will have your scent fresh new and it will be like having you with me all the time - she says hugging you close, resting her head on your chest and closing her eyes.
You rest your head on top of hers and close your eyes as well.
- God I love you so much - you say.
The soft music playing on the background creates a lovely atmosphere for the two of you.
After a few minutes Wanda looks up to you.
- Y/N what will happen to my roses? - she asks looking straight at you.
- What do you mean?
- Well, if you're not gonna be here, who is going to give me roses?
You sigh.
- Will you wait for me to bring you roses again? I promise to give you roses everytime I came back, just wait for me okay?
She looks at you for a moment and then she hides her face on the crock of your neck.
- I will wait for you a lifetime, It's just... - she sigh heavily, tears starting to form on her eyes.
- What is it my love? Why do you cry? - you ask rubbing your hand up and down her back.
- It's just... I don't want you to give roses to other girls - she finally says allowing herself to cry out loud.
- What?
She finally looks at you, your thumb removes the tears running down her cheeks.
- Talk to me my love - you say softly, leaving a kiss on her forehead.
Tears keeps running down and her little sobs begins to increase.
- You know I love you Wanda, you are the love of my life, the only one for me - you say after some silence moments - Just tell me what's going on that beautiful head of yours.
She closes her eyes for second before talking.
- Y/N, New York is really far from here... From me, you're going to meet tons of people and have new experiences on that beautiful city. I don't want to feel like I'm holding you back, like I'm holding you from living your new life far from this small town and out into the real world...
You look at her in disbelief. What is she talking about?
- Wanda you would never hold me from anything, if any, you are only holding me from tearing myself apart - you say taking her face in your hands - I love you Wanda, you mean everything to me and there's nothing I would love more than spend the rest of my life by your side so, please don't think ever again that you are holding me from living, cause "it's not living if it's not with you" - you say smiling and she smiles at reference of one of her favorite songs.
- I know you love me Y/N, and I love you too, but I can't help to feel scare of the distance and the time apart, what if you meet someone? A girl more beautiful, more interesting, someone who can be there with you all the time... - she confesses her insecurities looking down at the floor.
- You can trust me, even if I were moving to other universe I will never stop loving you, you've been my one and only since we were like 9, I don't want to be with anyone else because you are everything I want and everything I need. And I'm so lucky because you love me back Wanda.
- I love you too Y/N, I'm sorry I'm causing all this drama, I'm just really scare but believe me when I say that I trust you, I know you could never hurt me... I'm sorry
- No, no, no, don't apologize darling, i'm glad you talked about this now. As you say, the distance and the time will play against us, so talking about how we feel will be really good for us, you know how important communication is.
She nods.
- Feel free to talk to me about everything you feel Wanda, I will always listen.
- I will always listen to you too my love.
It's now her turn to remove your tears with her thumb.
- Gosh, will we ever stop crying? - you joke and she laughs.
- I don't think that will happen anytime soon.
After a few minutes you go back to your packing duties and in the afternoon your room is clean and there's only your bed remaining. Wanda and you are now cuddle on the bed, sharing a box of Icee Jelly Beans.
- Thanks for helping my love, it would have take me a lifetime without you.
- Well, I needed to make sure you leave some of your things here with me.
Wanda filled an entire box with some of your belongings that were now hers. Some sweatshirts, sweatpants, t-shirts, also some photos of the two of you and your favorite teddy bear from where when you were a kid.
The next day your parents host a party with all of their friends and some of yours too. Wanda kept you close all day and in the night all of the guests raised a toast for you and your parents.
Later that night it's just yours and Wanda's family left, your parents with the luggage ready to leave.
- Well, I think this is all, the moving company will be here in tomorrow to get everything, please be here to supervise everything - you father says to you.
- Don't worry dad, I will be here tomorrow - you say hugging him - And then I'll see you in New York
- Two weeks Y/N, two weeks Wanda Maximoff - he directs playfully to you and your girlfriend - I don't want to hear that the two of you elope or something.
Everyone laugh.
- Don't worry my friend, I'll make sure that doesn't happen - Oleg says - And don't worry about the moving, I'll be here with Y/N to make sure everything is in order.
- Thank you so much Oleg, and thank you too Irina, for allowing my daughter to stay with you - your mother now talks.
After an hour or so, everybody say goodbye and you leave your house to go with Wanda.
The next weeks are amazing. You spend all of your time with Wanda some of your friends. You make picnics, go to the amusement park, go swimming, go to the beach and in the nights you cuddle with Wanda and hold her impossibly close, not wanting to let her go.
Before you notice, it's now your last day home.
You prepared a beautiful picnic with Wanda, just for the two of you. So now you both are walking through the beach looking for a place to have your picnic.
When you found the perfect spot, you begin to put everything in place and start eating the snacks you and your girlfriend prepared one night before.
- I can't believe you're leaving tomorrow - she says - This weeks passed so quickly, it's not fair.
- I know love, time will never be enough when we are together.
- I wish you could stay longer - she says sadly.
- Me too darling, but I'm not leaving forever, I'll be back for the holidays in Christmas and New Year, then I'll come for your birthday and your are going to visit me for my birthday and on spring break next year - you say trying to cheer her up - We are gonna be fine, i promise.
- I know, I believe in us - she says placing a hand over your hand - Just don't forget my rose whenever you're back - she says kind of joking but reminding you about her precious flowers.
- Of course not, I will never forget about it - you tell her.
After finishing eating you pick up the rest of the food and lay on a blanket on the sand, watching the sea and the sky. Wanda lays comfortably half of her body on top of yours, her head on your chest and one of your hands caressing her back.
- Baby are you falling asleep? - you ask her softly.
- Mmm - that's the only sound she makes.
- Don't close your eyes, we need to go back to your house before night falls.
She turns to look at you.
- Or your father will think we elope and he's gonna hate me for the rest of my life - you say joking, making her laugh.
- That doesn't seem like a bad idea - she says smiling, giving you a peck on the lips - You and me, together for the rest of our lives.
You laugh.
- Talking about that, I got you something - you tell her, sitting and reaching for your backpack.
- What is it?
- Close your eyes, and give me your left hand
She nods and gives you her hand. You took the ring you bought for her and slide it in her ring finger.
- Okay, now you can see.
She gasps when she sees the ring on her finger, it was beautiful, gold with three small green rocks embedded in it.
- Y/N... This is beautiful - she says.
- The rocks are green, just as your eyes.
She smiles and gives you a kiss.
- And the best part it's that I have one for myself too - you show her your left hand.
- I love it so much, thank you my love
You both kiss deeply.
- These are promise rings Wanda, they are my promise to you to one day give you engagement ones - you say after finishing kissing.
She looks at you smiling, hope and happiness on her eyes.
- I can't wait to spend my life with you
- One day it will be just me and you, forever
After a few more minutes, you start picking everything up to head home.
You have your luggage prepare on the Maximoff's living room and the next morning everyone takes you to the airport.
- Is everything in order Y/N? - Oleg asks you before leaving the house
- Yes Mr. Maximoff, thank you so much again, for letting me stay in your house and take to the airport
He smiles.
- It's been a pleasure, you're part of the family Y/N
Wanda holds your hand all the way to the airport and after doing check-in it's time for you to board your flight.
- I hope you like what I left for you in your room - you tell her.
- What? - she asks confuse
- It's one for each week we'll be apart - you say
- What do you mean?
- You'll find it out when you get home, okay? I'll text you when I land on New York and I will call you in the night
She's really confuse about what you just told her but kiss you once more before you have leave.
Once the Maximoffs made sure your flight was in the air they leave the airport.
When Wanda is back at her house she goes straight to her room. She gasps the moment she opens the door.
- Oh my God
Spread on her bed she founds rose petals and a big bouquet of roses place in the middle. She walk slowly and after admiring it for a minute she takes the note that's place on the top of the bouquet.
"It's one for each week we'll be apart" she reads on the note.
Tears already start forming on her eyes.
"Hello my love, If you're reading this i'ts because you already saw the flowers. I finally got you the whole bouquet hahaha. As I probably told you, it's one rose for each week we'll be apart.
I can't wait for the moment I see you again, I'll bring your rose with me.
Wait for me my love, by your window as you always do and one day you'll see me walking to your house again, with your rose my hand.
I'm always with you. You can call me whenever you need it, I'll always answer.
Pd. Remember the deal Maximoff, it's a kiss for one rose, your debt can be paid once I'm back"
She takes the note close to her chest and allow herself to cry again. Walking through her window She stares at the view.
She'll wait for you, in hopes of you coming back to her, bringing her roses.
