[Wanda's certainly showing no sign of releasing him soon. Is it selfish, she wonders, to be glad that he wants to stay as much as she wants him to? That he wants to hold her as long as she wants (needs) to hold him? Wanda doesn't want to take advantage of him, but she just can't leave him to suffer either.
And so she holds him, content to just be, as her hands find a pattern tracing soothing circles following the textures in his back.]
If you are...my magic can affect minds. I can help you, if you want to me to try. And if you can't, I have the books I read when I can't sleep.
[A small pile on the nightstand and beside the bed - comfort books, Wanda calls them. It's mostly sappy romances and feel-good stories mixed with some fairytales and legends from faraway lands.]
But you can stay with me either way. Sometimes it's...easier, to have someone with you. And it's normal to want it. [A few more heartbeats pass while Wanda wonders if she should continue. Vision isn't like anyone she's ever met, so maybe it's all right to make a small admission of her own.] I will probably sleep better too.
