Summary:

Rio Vidal hated parties.

They always had. Yet here they were, red solo cup in hand, standing in a corner, trying to avoid any kind of interaction. But, of course, the universe seemed to have something against them, because Ralph Bohner of all people decided to approach.

“Hey Vidal.” Rio rolled their eyes as he cornered them. They didn't miss how he glanced back to make sure his friends were watching.

“What.” They sighed, but the only thought running through their mind was ‘I should've just stayed at home’. Rio knew what Ralph was like. All the comments and insults he hurled towards people. And after recent events, Rio had found themselves as Ralph's number one enemy. 

Notes:

Okay so this took sooo long to write but just because I've gotten into criminal minds and that's all I can focus on but it's finally done!!

Thank you to all my wandario friends on twitter for being patient waiting so long, i guess! I hope you enjoy it :)

Rio Vidal hated parties. 

They always had. Yet here they were, red solo cup in hand, standing in a corner, trying to avoid any kind of interaction. But, of course, the universe seemed to have something against them, because Ralph Bohner of all people decided to approach. 

“Hey Vidal.” Rio rolled their eyes as he cornered them. They didn't miss how he glanced back to make sure his friends were watching. 

“What.” They sighed, but the only thought running through their mind was ‘ I should've just stayed at home’. Rio knew what Ralph was like. All the comments and insults he hurled towards people. And after recent events, Rio had found themselves as Ralph's number one enemy. 

It was ridiculous really. Rio thought it was. With the way the guy acted you'd almost assume Rio had murdered his dad. But no, the truth was far from it. 

About a month prior, Agatha Harkness had bumped into Rio at the park. She'd seemed a little apprehensive, which was practically unheard of for her. Agatha Harkness was known for her confidence and intimidation. She told Rio that she needed some advice from them, and Rio sat and listened.

Turns out, much to Rio's surprise, that Agatha Harkness was a raging lesbian. After second thought, maybe it wasn't too surprising. Agatha fit into the ‘mean lesbian’ stereotype far too well, after all. 

This epiphany is what led to Agatha breaking up with Ralph. And Ralph? He was mad. Mad at both Agatha and Rio. Rio didn't care too much. All throughout high-school they'd had their fair share of slurs thrown at them for being so open about their sexuality and gender. But it was all new for Agatha. So Rio stayed by her side, along with their only other friend, Alice.

Of course, this only angered Ralph more, and now here they were. Cornered by the asshole at a shitty party they knew they shouldn't have come to in the first place. They'd come with Alice and Agatha, but Alice, apparently being a huge lightweight, got far too drunk, and Agatha offered to take her home. 

“You've not been turning any other girls into a dyke have you?” Ralph spat. 

“That's not how it works.” Rio deadpanned, taking a sip from the cup in their hands. “It's not my fault no girls want to touch you, dude.”

Rio instantly regretted their words when Ralph raised his hand. 

“ Ralph!” A voice yelled out and Ralph spun round to glare at the person.

Rio's eyebrows furrowed when they saw who it was. Wanda Maximoff. Now, realistically speaking, Wanda was totally Rio's type. The eyeliner, the jewelry, the leather jackets. Realistically speaking, Rio thought they should've been friends, yet it was quite the opposite. Wanda had somehow befriended the popular crowd. The people Rio would like to avoid more than anything. Wanda wasn't as bad as the others. But Wanda enabled it, up until now, it seemed. 

“C’mon Wanda! She's just a stupid fucking d-” Wanda shut Ralph up with a punch to the face. 

“ They were just minding their own business. I recommend you go back to doing the same.” There was something about the way Wanda said it, mixed with the slight accent she had, that made Rio feel weak in the knees. 

Almost disappointingly, they didn't get to see the state of Ralph's face as he ran off with his tail between his legs. Instead, their eyes settled on Wanda and fuck she looked good when she was mad. Her gaze almost softened when she looked at Rio, and walked up to them. 

“Sorry about him.” Wanda apologised, and it actually sounded genuine. “Are you okay?”

“I- uh. Yeah.” Rio nodded, still a little dumbfounded. Then they noticed the state of Wanda's hand. “Oh shit- Your hand-”

“It's fine.” Wanda shrugged it off, despite the fact that it was beginning to bleed. 

“Doesn't look okay.” Rio pointed out. The rest of the room had seemingly turned their attention back to whatever they'd been doing before. “I know how to wrap that properly if you wanna come with me back to mine. Unless you wanna risk getting an infection, that is.”

Wanda rolled her eyes. It made Rio wonder if they could make them roll in a different way. Rio quickly pushed the thought away and focused back on what Wanda was saying. “Why do you care?”

“Gods, you're stubborn.” Rio muttered. They began to walk out of the house, and Wanda surprisingly followed, so they continued. “Consider it a thank you for getting Ralph to leave me alone.”

As they stepped outside into the crisp night air, Rio began to regret not wearing a jacket, but at least they looked hot, right? 

“He's a dick who uses his physical strength to get what he wants and is too stupid to work for it.” Wanda glanced over to Rio as they walked side by side, still unbothered by the state her hand was in.

“He is.” Rio agreed. “I'm surprised Agatha was with him before coming out. She's way out of his league.”

Wanda laughed at Rio's words. “Yeah. Just being around him drives me crazy. I can't imagine what being in a relationship with him would be like.”

“I don't want to imagine it.” Rio shook their head. “By the way, that was a pretty good punch back there.”

“Thank you.” Wanda looked a little sheepish. “It looks like I might've broken his nose.”

“Seriously?” Rio laughed. “Oh shit. I mean- He deserved it, but remind me to never get on your bad side.”

“Mhm. Now you have to try not to piss me off.” Wanda joked.

“I'll try not to then.” Rio smiled as they approached their house. They slipped the keys off of the carabiner connected to their belt loops and fumbled with it as they tried to unlock the door. “Stupid door…” They muttered. When they finally unlocked it, they pushed it open and let Wanda in first. 

“Wow, you're such a gentleman.” Despite the joke, Wanda had a smile on her face. 

“So I've been told.” Rio winked and Wanda rolled her eyes, flicking on the lights as they stepped inside. They were confused for a moment until they remembered that their mom said she'd be taking their sibling, Lenny, and their girlfriend out for dinner. They led Wanda through to the dining room. “Wait here and I'll go grab the first aid kit.”

Wanda nodded, leaning back against the counter as Rio disappeared for a moment. She looked around, noticing the pictures on the walls. Many were of Rio as a child, and a younger kid who looked very similar to Rio, who Wanda assumed to be their sibling. There were also some pictures of an older woman, who Wanda realised was Rio’s mother. She recognised the woman as Lilia. Lilia came to the cafe where Wanda worked pretty regularly, and Wanda would sit and talk with her for a while, but she hadn’t realised Lilia was related to Rio in any way.

Rio came back with the first aid kit in their hand. They placed it on the counter beside Wanda. “How’s your hand feeling? Has the adrenaline worn off yet?”

Wanda looked down at her hand and it was worse than she realized. “Not really? It’s stinging, but that’s about it.” She shrugged, looking back up at Rio.

“Either you have a ridiculously high pain tolerance, or you’re just insane.” Rio commented, grabbing a wipe to get rid of the now dried blood on Wanda’s fist. 

“Maybe it's both.” Wanda winced as the stinging worsened, then she decided to change the subject. “I didn't know you're related to Lilia.”

“How do you know her?” Rio raised an eyebrow but remained focused on Wanda's hand. 

“She regularly comes to the cafe I work at. She'd talk about her kids but I didn't realise it was you. I didn't know you had a sister either.” Wanda explained through gritted teeth. 

“There's a lot you don't know about me. We haven't exactly spoken until now.” They grabbed the bandages from the counter. 

“That’s true.” Wanda mumbled. “We should change that, you know? You seem like a nice person, and I think we could be pretty good friends.” 

Rio paused what they were doing for a moment as they registered Wanda’s words. Wanda Maximoff wanted to be her friend. Huh. That didn’t sound too bad to Rio. “You know what? Yeah. I think we could be pretty good friends too.” They said as they finished wrapping Wanda’s hand. “Give me your phone?” They requested, and Wanda complied, unlocking it and handing it to them. Rio added their number to Wanda’s contacts, then handed the phone back. “There.” 

Wanda looked at it and smiled. “Thank you.” Then she realised the time. “I uh- I should probably head home.”

“Do you want a lift back?” Rio asked, putting the things they’d been using away. 

“Oh. No, It’s okay. Thank you though.” 

“Are you sure?” Rio pressed. It was late, and they couldn’t help but be concerned about Wanda making her way back alone. 

“I’m sure.” Wanda nodded. “If it makes you feel any better I’ll text you once I do get home.” 

Rio paused and considered it. “Yeah. Okay.” They nodded, walking Wanda to the front door. “Thanks again for punching Ralph before he could punch me.” 

“Anytime.” Wanda laughed. “And thank you for making sure I don’t get an awful infection in my hand.”

“It was the least I could do.” Rio shrugged. 

“I appreciate it.” She stepped towards Rio for a moment, and pressed a kiss on Rio’s cheek. “I’ll talk to you later.” She said sweetly, and then she was gone. 

Rio stared in surprise as Wanda made her way down the street and didn’t turn back. Rio forced themself to close the door, taking a deep breath. What. The. Fuck. Wanda Maximoff had just kissed them on the cheek. They grabbed their phone from her pocket, and sent a message to the group chat they had with Agatha and Alice.

The Coven 🔮:

Mean lesbian 💜: Hey Rio. Hope the party isn’t too bad on your own. I’m staying with Alice to make sure she’s okay.

Mr. Dyke 💚: Yeah dw about it, its okay

Mr. Dyke 💚: Also, coven meeting tomorrow afternoon- If you don’t show up I’m disowning the both of you. 

Delivered.

Rio then checked their other messages, which turned out to be from their mom, just letting them know she and Lenny would be on their way home. Rio slipped their phone back into their pocket, and went to their room, still trying to process what had just happened. 

- - - 

“ What ?” Alice stared at Rio, her jaw dropped. “You’re telling me, that not only did Wanda Maximoff defend you, she also willingly followed you home when you offered, and kissed you on the cheek before leaving?” 

“I know it sounds crazy-” Rio was blushing like crazy. “I can’t believe it either.”

“Careful or people might start thinking you turned her into a lesbian too.” Agatha smirked.

“Oh my god-” Rio threw a pillow at her. “Shut up-” 

“Make me.” Agatha threw the pillow back and Alice rolled her eyes at her friend's behaviour.

“I don’t know why I’m still friends with you.” Rio grumbled, now holding the pillow in her lap. 

“Because you love us really.” Alice was the one to reply this time. 

Rio smiled and shook their head. “Yeah, and I don’t know why I do sometimes.”

Rio was about to say something when there was a knock on their bedroom door and Lilia called out. “Rio, baby? Are you three okay in there?” 

“Yes, mom! We’re okay!” Rio called back. 

“Alright, well. Let me know if you, Agatha or Alice need anything!”

“Alright, mom!” 

“You know.” Agatha started, looking at Rio with the same stupid smirk she always had when she was about to annoy them. “I’d totally fuck your mom.” 

“Agatha!” Rio shouted and Alice burst out laughing.

“What? It’s true I would. She looks good for her age.” Agatha somehow said with a straight face.

“I think you just have mommy issues.” Rio sighed, throwing the pillow at her once more. 

“Hey! Two things can be true at once!”

“Shut up- Just shut up.” Rio rolled their eyes, then their phone went off. 

Agatha’s eyes lit up. “Is that Wanda? If it is, you need to tell us what she said.” 

Rio opened their mouth to protest but Alice interrupted. “I agree with Agatha this time. You can’t just tell us all that and then keep that a secret!” 

Rio glared at the both of them before checking her phone, and as they’d assumed, it was Wanda. 

‘Hey, Rio! I was wondering, if you’re free after class tomorrow, would you like to get coffee together?’

Rio couldn’t help but smile as they read it. What Wanda has said was true. She did actually want to be friends. Rio was clueless as to why. They were sure Wanda knew what happened when people hung out with them, but she didn’t seem to care. 

“Oh, it’s absolutely a message from Wanda! Look at that smile!” Agatha attempted to reach over to grab the phone from Rio but they shifted back. “I wanna see!” Agatha practically pouted. 

“Oh my gods, you’re such a child!” Rio and Alice laughed at Agatha’s reaction. “I’m not showing you- but I’ll tell you.”

Agatha rested her chin on her hands, waiting for Rio to continue and Alice mimicked her. 

“She asked if I wanted to get coffee with her after class tomorrow.” They blushed as they said it. 

“She asked you on a date?” Agatha gasped, and Alice also had a grin on her face.

Rio’s eyes widened, “No- It’s not- It is not a date. Just.. Just a hang out to get to know each other better.” 

“Yeah, but-” Alice began, “That is technically what people do on dates.” 

“Alice-”

“No, no.” Agatha stopped them. “Alice is absolutely right. Just because she didn’t specifically call it a date doesn't mean it isn’t one.” 

“I don’t even know if she’s into women!” Rio reminded them. 

Both Agatha and Alice glanced between themselves and then back at Rio. “Rio, honey.” Agatha was of course the one to say it. “One, have you seen the way she dresses? Only someone who likes women dresses like that. Could be bi, or a lesbian, I don’t fucking know but those outfits scream ‘I want women to call me pretty’ .”

“Because you’d know all about that.” Rio muttered under their breath. Alice held back a laugh as Agatha glared. 

“I wasn’t finished.” Rio had to stop themself from saying ‘You never are’ . Agatha cleared her throat, regaining her composure. “As I was saying. Not only does her appearance scream ‘I want to kiss women’. You told us that she kissed you on the cheek. Are you seriously that blind?” 

“That doesn’t mean anything!” Rio argued. “It could’ve just been a friendly gesture!” 

“You’re hopeless.” Agatha sighed, “Alice please back me up here.” 

Rio looked over to Alice. Who seemed less passionate about this than Agatha, but still looked invested in all of it. “Well, I don’t want to assume, but the chances of her being into women seem pretty high.” 

Rio sighed. “Sure, okay let’s say she is into women. That does not mean she’s into me.” 

“She punched my ex in the face for you. And kissed you on the cheek. And is now asking you on a date.” Agatha listed. “I don’t see her doing that for anyone else.” 

“I- Yeah well- It’s not like we know anything about her personal life.” Rio continued to argue. There’s no way they’d believe Wanda Maximoff of all people was into them. They barely knew each other. And Wanda? She was practically perfect, the complete opposite of Rio. And sure, even if Wanda was into women, what were the chances they’d be into a ‘genderless freak’ like Rio, as some people would crudely put it. 

“Well,” Alice decided to have an input before Agatha could say anything else. “ Are you gonna meet her for coffee tomorrow?”

“Yeah. I think so.” Rio nodded, glancing at their phone again. They tried to ignore the stares of their friends as they typed up a reply to Wanda. 

‘Hi Wanda :) Coffee tomorrow sounds great! I’ll see you then’

- - -

Tomorrow afternoon came far too quickly for Rio. They could hardly focus on their class, their mind too caught up on the fact that they’d be meeting with Wanda for coffee. They were trying not to view it as a date, but unfortunately for them, their friends had a point. Trying to focus on their class was futile, and eventually they gave up, just zoning out and letting their thoughts flow. 

Soon enough, the class had finished, so they put their things away in their bag, and headed to the cafe, which they assumed was the one Wanda worked at. Rio’s eyes lit up when they saw Wanda waiting outside. They sped up as they approached her, their heart rapidly thumping in their chest.

When Wanda looked up and saw them, she grinned. “Rio! Hey!”

“Hi!” Rio already felt breathless, like the air had been stolen from their lungs. They tensed as Wanda pulled them into a hug, but after a second they hugged back. 

“Sorry.” Wanda was blushing as she looked away. “I hug like- everyone.” 

“It’s alright. I just wasn’t expecting it.” Rio smiled, pushing the door open. Just like before, they let Wanda in first.

“Are you always this much of a gentleman?” Wanda smiled as Rio walked in behind her. 

“I try.” Rio shrugged. “How else am I meant to make women fall for me?” 

Wanda laughed. “Is the bar seriously that low? You hold a door open for them and suddenly they’re head over heels for you?”

“It’s more than what a lot of men do.” They pointed out. “Also you’ve called me a gentleman for it twice now so I’d say it’s doing something if you’re noticing.”

“Are you saying you want me to fall for you?” Wanda teased. Before Rio could say anything in response, Wanda dragged them over to order. Then, once they had their drinks, Wanda took Rio's hand, and led them over to a quiet corner of the cafe. 

“Is your hand doing okay?” Rio asked, taking a sip of their coffee. 

“Yeah, actually!” Wanda smiled. “Yesterday the pain finally kicked in but it's healing alright now.”

“I'm glad!” Rio ran a hand through their hair. As they pushed their hair back, Wanda noticed their piercings. They had multiple lobe piercings, and an industrial piercing. 

“Nice piercings.” Wanda complemented. “I was thinking of getting some soon.”

 “Oh, thanks!” Rio smiled and shifted slightly in their seat. “And you totally should. It’d suit you. I was planning on getting either a septum or eyebrow piercing soon too.” They couldn’t quite decipher Wanda’s reaction to that.

“You’d look amazing with either.” Is how she eventually replied. 

Once again, Wanda had managed to catch Rio off guard. Rio didn’t want to call this flirting, but that’s definitely what it felt like. 

“So uh-” Rio began to quickly change the subject. This didn’t go unnoticed by Wanda, and an amused smile slipped onto her face. “What do you study?” 

Much to Rio’s surprise, it turned out that Wanda had a large interest in films and script writing. They weren’t sure what they expected Wanda to like but it definitely wasn’t that. 

They sat talking for what felt like hours. At first it was about what they were studying. Then their conversation shifted to their interests. The more they spoke, the more surprising things they found out about each other. Wanda would sometimes babysit, Rio loved playing pokemon - their favourite being Meowscarada, Wanda loved sitcoms, Rio had extensive knowledge on dinosaurs for whatever reason. The list went on. 

But then the conversation once again shifted to another topic. 

“If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you known you’re a lesbian?” Wanda asked. Usually, Rio found that people asked about their sexuality to mock them. But the way Wanda asked them seemed genuine. Everything about Wanda seemed genuine. 

“I’ve known since the beginning of high-school.” Rio told her honestly. Then they decided to push. “Why do you ask?”

“I guess I’m just curious.” She shrugged, and fidgeted as she considered her next words. “You’re probably the only person I know who’s this open about it. And, I only realised that about myself recently, and still haven’t really told anyone. I guess I wish I could be that open about it.”

Rio stared wide-eyed for a moment. “You- You’re telling me you like women?...” 

“Yes, Rio. That’s exactly what I’m telling you.” Wanda couldn’t help but laugh at Rio’s expression. “Is it not obvious?”

“I mean- Well- I don’t- I don’t know-” They stumbled over their words. “Thank you for trusting me with this?..” 

“Did you ever struggle to accept that you like women?” Wanda quickly started talking again. “Sorry if I’m crossing any boundaries right now- You don’t have to answer.”

“You’re not, don’t worry about it!” They reassured her. “I guess at first, yeah. I mean hell, I couldn’t even call myself a lesbian at first. But with time I eventually accepted it.” 

“Thank you, Rio.” Rio wondered if Wanda’s voice always had to sound so sweet when she said their name. 

“Of course.” Rio nodded, a small smile on their face. “If you ever have any other questions, I don’t mind answering them.” 

“I appreciate it.” Wanda reached over, squeezing Rio’s hand gently. “I, uh- I need to head home, but I’ll text you later?” She offered.

“Yeah. And maybe we can do this again whenever you’re free?..” 

“Yeah. I’d like that.” 

- - - 

Rio immediately called Agatha when they got to their room. 

“So,” Rio could hear the smirk in Agatha’s voice. “How was your date?”

They didn’t even try to argue this time. “It was..It was nice.” 

“Is that all?” Agatha scoffed. “Just nice? Do I not get details anymore?”

“Are you ever capable of being patient? Oh my god.” Rio laughed.

“Me and patient do not go in the same sentence, Vidal. You should know this. Now spit it out. I want details.”

“I should’ve just called Alice instead of you.” Rio muttered under their breath. “Okay, so- uh. You were right. She is into women.”

“Not surprising. I can’t believe you didn’t trust my word for it.”

Rolling their eyes, Rio continued. “I actually found out a lot of stuff about her, I guess. It was…surprising? I guess. Stuff I didn’t really expect- but truthfully I don’t know what I was expecting.”

“Like?” Agatha prompted, clearly not too interested in Rio’s lack of details. 

“Well- uh- She likes writing? And uh- and sitcoms, and she’s good with kids, she uh- she babysits-” 

“Rio, honey. I love you, but you’re boring me to death right now. I get more interesting details when I ask Alice about her sex life and that’s far more personal than a simple date.” 

“You two talk about that stuff way too openly.” Rio laughed. “Forgive me if I like to keep details private, even if it is just about dates.”

“Boring.” Agatha muttered. “I’m gonna call Alice. She’s probably got something more interesting for me.”

“Alright. Bye Aggie.” Rio grinned as they spoke, aware of how much Agatha despised that nickname.

“Fuck you, Vidal.” 

“Love you too.”

- - -

The next month was similar in certain ways. Every week Rio would go to class, awaiting messages from Wanda. They’d spend time with their mom and sister, and keep Agatha and Alice updated in their ‘coven meetings’.

Something else that had become a regular occurrence was these coffee dates with Wanda. They became a regular thing. Every Thursday after their classes they’d meet for coffee, and then talk about their week, about themselves, sometimes they wouldn’t talk much at all and just enjoy being sat in the company of one another. 

This continued normally for that month. The next month, it began to change. They’d still meet with Wanda on Thursday’s, they’d still spend time with their friends and family, but the time they spent with Wanda seemed to increase. It went from the Thursday ‘dates’, to calling in the afternoons. Not just calling in the afternoon, even falling asleep on the phone to each other. Wanda had also started coming over regularly. She’d come over, play pokemon with Rio - which had been a little surprising at first - they were surprised enough that Wanda would let them ramble about it, but for her to also spend time playing it with them? That was completely unexpected. Despite the surprise, Rio found themself enjoying the company of Wanda, and Wanda seemed to enjoy it too.

At some point, Rio realised they may have been enjoying the company a little too much. They lit up when Wanda messaged, their heart raced when their hands brushed, they felt like a teenager again. 

One week, they found themself sitting in their room next to Lenny, confiding in her. “Lenny?.. How did you know you liked Amy?”

Lenny was quiet for a moment, picking at their nails. “I don’t really know? I thought she was pretty the first time I saw her, and I enjoyed being around her, more than I enjoyed being around my friends. Then I realised I wouldn’t mind kissing her.” She explained. “Pissing off David was just a bonus.”

Rio laughed, leaning against Lenny’s shoulder. “Of course.”

“Why are you asking?” Lenny decided to ask, “You got a crush?” 

“No- I don’t know?.. Maybe?..” Rio sighed. 

“I think you should go for it, if you do. What have you got to lose?”

“A perfectly good friendship.” Rio pointed out.

“You’ve got me there.” Lenny muttered. “But seriously. You should go for it. You never know.” 

“I’ll consider it.” They sighed, hitting their head back against the headboard. 

“Good. And I want updates if you do.” 

“Maybe.”

Rio didn’t tell Wanda anything that week. Nor the next. Or the one after that. The anxiety of a rejection gnawed at their mind. They could tell her, and everything could go so well, or they could tell her, and she wouldn’t be able to look them in the eye as she said she didn’t want to see them ever again. Was it dramatic? Sure. But they didn’t want to lose what they had with Wanda. They weren’t sure if they wanted to risk it at all. 

They’d spoken to Lenny, and to Agatha, and Alice as well, they’d even asked their mother for advice. But they still hadn’t used it.  

And then one day, when Wanda came over, everything changed. 

They sat together on Rio’s bed, Wanda resting her head on Rio’s shoulder whilst Rio was playing pokemon. Wanda had decided to sit and watch instead of playing with them this time. Her hand was placed gently on Rio’s thigh, and god it was driving them crazy, even if Wanda wasn’t aware of it.

“Rio?..” Wanda’s voice was so quiet that Rio almost didn’t hear her speak. 

Rio put the game down, looking at her. “Yeah? You okay?”

“Hm.” Wanda hummed, lifting her head a little. Her eyes flicked down to Rio’s lips. 

“Are you sure?” Rio’s eyebrows furrowed, causing their nose to scrunch. Wanda smiled. 

“I’m sure.” She mumbled before sitting up a little, her face barely an inch away from Rio’s. “Can-..Can I kiss you?” 

Rio’s eyes widened, their heart thumping rapidly in their chest. The words caught in their throat, so instead of verbalising an answer, Rio leant in, their lips meeting Wanda’s. She showed no hesitance in kissing back, but she didn’t kiss back harshly, or quick. It was slow, soft, passionate.

It was everything they’d imagined it to be. 

When they pulled apart, they gazed into each other's eyes, breathing heavily. Rio grinned, their hands reaching to cup Wanda’s face. 

“Kiss me again.” Rio breathed out.

“Gladly.” Wanda muttered, pressing her lips against Rio’s once again.
