I don't think it would have been as terrible as you think, but if you're glad that I didn't then I'll have to trust you on that.

[She doesn't sound doubtful as she speaks, but reassuring. Or at least as best she can manage. Her hand still strokes over his back beneath the blanket, giving him the space he's taken but otherwise maintaining contact.]

And you didn't bring me down. I understand what it's like. Pietro and I...we shared everything with each other. We had only each other for most of our lives. There is nothing I would keep from him and yet...there were times I wished I were close to someone outside our relationship that I could confide in about him. If only to give my thoughts voice and let it out. There's nothing wrong with that.

[And the implication that she's someone he'd trust to open up to is something that honors her.]

[fingerstripes]

Yeah. I really- [ A big part of her life that she wasn't able to talk about. Not having an ear willing to listen even if you could find the words.

Yes, he understands that very well. He hesitates. ]

...I know it's not the same. And I can't pretend I really understand... anything about what you had with him.

But if you ever want to share with someone who cares- [ And he reaches for her hand, fingers intwining with hers. ]

I'd listen, Wanda.

[divulsion]

[Oh, Dick. Wanda would comment on the fact that she appreciates he isn't trying to pretend to know what it was like to have a twin. To have lost a twin. Or that at times she wanted to be close to someone she could talk about Pietro to, someone who would understand her frustration when at times he was too reckless, never looking ahead far enough.

But his offer strikes something deep in her heart, reverberates through her and Wanda can't help but turn toward him. He takes her hand, fingers lacing together, and Wanda squeezes it gently as she looks at him with an expression that shows so much of the emotion clearly on her face.]

Dick, you already are the person I share with.

[Because he cares, not just about her but about people and things. It practically radiates off of him. Wanda couldn't have missed it even without her powers.]

[fingerstripes]

[ It's an answer that reaches him. Eases an aching, lonely hurt he hadn't known how to put into words. He's relieved, in a strange, unnameable way.

He reaches out instead, putting his arms around her, drawing her close if she lets him. He'll drop a kiss on the top of her head, and then lean his cheek there. ]
