deercountry | ( CLOSED ) MY LONELINESS IS KILLING ME.

( amos just rolls his eyes. )

If you're going to just fantasize about Holden, I'm going to go ahead and get on with my Halloween celebration.

( he's an astronaut and he looks good and he's cuter than holden. )

[ wanda chuckles and drops her hand from her chin. she almost lets it go, but that wouldn't be entirely fun. she wants to see if he blushes. ]

How am I meant to compare if you are wearing the wrong pants?

[ she makes a point to look at his pants. definitely not the right ones. ]

Nothing's wrong with my pants. I do different things than Holden down on the ship. We wear different things.

( and his pants were better. )

Sorry that you don't recognize goodness when you see it.

[ she blinks, brows furrowing in confusion. ] What goodness?

[ wanda makes a pointed look at amos, giving him a onceover. while he is very attractive and bulky in a way that vision and pietro weren't, his pants are incorrect for his outfit.

and she will change them. ]

I see nothing.

Uh huh.

( amos rolls his eyes. )

Well, if Holden shows up, I'll be sure to tell him all about how you like the look of his ass in his pants.

You're going to give up so easily?

[ she can't help but chuckle. even if that's giving into his bait, she thinks amos will be giving into hers...

and wearing proper pants in no time. ]

I suppose your ass really is flat.

Are you really trying to get at me by calling my ass flat?

( he rolls his eyes. )

Nice of you to notice, I guess.

[ wanda smiles. ]

Is it working? I'm happy for you to demonstrate otherwise if you like.

[ even if he says it's not, she'll think that it is getting to him. does he not like it when people compliment him? she makes a mental note of it. ]

I'm not going to demonstrate anything for you.

( also — )

How would someone even demonstrate that?

Bend and snap.

[ she smiles at him. has he seen legally blonde? while he seems like the type who would… she doesn't think he has.

spends too much time with aliens and his cute friend. ]

It's the perfect way to prove your ass is not unimpressive.

What?

( he really has not seen that movie. he doesn't get a lot of movie watching time in space. )

What is a bend and snap?

It's when you bend and snap.

[ she smiles, a little grateful that, for once, she's not the one eyebrowing something. she and scott had perfected their bend and snaps in deerington. ]

You bend.

[ she bends in half, letting her hand fall to the tips of her feet. ]

And snap.

[ righting herself, she clicks her fingers. ]

There's not a chance in hell that I'm doing that. Ever.

( she doesn't look bad doing it but he's not going to be bending and snapping. )

I'd look ridiculous.

So, you give up?

[ if he's anything like pietro, he'll take that for the bait it is. she smiles at him and gives him a purposeful look, eyeing his hips. amos could possibly do the bend and snap if he tried... ]

You're not even going to try?

No, I'm not going to try.

( he is not like pietro and he's not going to take that bait and look dumb. )

I don't need to try. No reason.

So…

[ wanda does her best not to smile, but she struggles to do so. there's no need to follow a script for this particular scene. ]

I can change your outfit, then. If you're not going to try, then I think it's only fair I fix this.

[ she wiggles her fingers towards his poor attempt at a costume. ]

No, no, no. You can't just make these terms.

( that's not happening, wanda. he holds up a hand and then pushes her fingers away. )

My costume is fine.

[ she scrunches up her nose. ]

It's not.

[ she taps her fingers against the corner of her lips, pretending to mull over his costume change. ]

And since you won't do the bend and snap… I think putting you in nice pants is appropriate.

[ how else will she see your ass? ]

I won't do the bend and snap because it's stupid.

( so says amos. )

And my costume is fine. I wouldn't say anything about your costume if our positions were reversed.

I'd wear a costume.

[ she smiles at him and holds her hands up, fingers pressed together. wanda takes any chance she can to dress up. it'd been one of the things she had liked a lot about growing up. pretending to be someone else… ]

Hold still, please.

Don't do it.

( amos reaches up and gives her hands another shove away from him, shaking his head. )

Don't change my costume. I like what I'm wearing.

Wear it for one hour.

[ it honestly doesn't matter if he bumps her hands away. she'll be able to transform his clothing with a mere twitch of her nose. but wanda doesn't do that; no, she'd much rather goad him. it's a lot of fun. ]

One hour, a proper costume. And then, it will turn back.

[ like a pumpkin carriage. ]

I don't know if I believe you.

( she hasn't proven herself dishonest but still. )

There's nothing wrong with this costume and I like it. Isn't that enough?

Nope.

[ she smiles at him. him liking it isn't enough. he won't be winning any contests with that handwriting. ]

You look like you're afraid of Halloween. I don't want you to look that way.

I don't even celebrate Halloween. That doesn't mean I'm afraid. I'm too old for this.

( she's lucky he'd done this much. )

This isn't afraid of Halloween. This is me making an effort.
