[ wanda considers parroting his question back to him, but that would be pointlessly annoying. she hadn't thought that far ahead, only getting as far as simply wanting to experience something mundanely normal and traditional for once.

she looks at him and thinks about what would make him blush most.

she smiles. ] You.

( well, he definitely didn't expect her to just be upfront and outright with it.

but he kind of likes that she did. he'd been hoping she would. he doesn't blush but he does laugh a bit, look away and then nod. )

I think I can do that.

[ well. she hadn't quite been expecting that. then again, expecting amos to grow flustered and blush would show how little she understood about him.

wanda presses her lips together and tilts her chin upward. ]

It better be a good kiss. Otherwise, you're dooming my entire new year.

[ does he want that on his conscience? ]

Do you really think I can't give you a good kiss?

( how dare you, wanda. )

I know how to kiss people.

[ she cocks her brow as she looks at him pointedly. ]

You are from space and Baltimore. I have heard people from there don't know how to kiss.

[ she clucks her tongue and shakes her head as though that truly is a shame. ]

And how have you heard that? Who told you?

( yeah, he doubts that. )

I have my ways.

[ she smiles secretly at him. ]

So, will you? Or do I need to go find another? I only have a short window of time.

I will.

( no, she doesn't need to find someone else. )

How much time do we have?

[ oh.

she widens her eyes momentarily before pressing her lips together and clearing her throat. well, none of this went in the direction that she had anticipated.

looking off to the side, she heard people cheering as some impatiently thought about how there were only minutes to go. ]

Less than five minutes?

You know, if you'd rather not —

( well, he's definitely not going to make her kiss him or anyone. )

We don't have to.

[ wanda smacks his arm lightly. ] I will blow your mind.

[ she looks at him pointedly then before she smiles and shakes her head. it's stupid to feel nervous. it's just a kiss, most likely a peck, and a way to bring in the new year in a way she hasn't done so for a very long time. ]

I don't want to ruin you for everyone else.

Oh yeah?

( well, now he really does want to kiss her if she's going to talk herself up. he smirks. )

Well, we're gonna find out if you're telling the truth in about three minutes.

I am! [ she exclaims it indignantly. ] I've never had any complaints before!

[ granted, a boy she kissed in sokovia was punched by pietro, and the other man had been vision who never complained when it came to her. wanda knows she can talk a big game, but she doesn't think kissing her will be too awful.

she'd never want to ruin his start to a brand new year, after all. ]

So, hopefully I'm not the first one to start.

( he smirks and glances at the time, hearing the din of the crowd growing and growing. )

Hope you like kissing someone with a beard.

[ she scrunches her face as though something's tickling her nose. ]

I have never kissed anyone with a beard before. [ she refrains from scratching the corner of her lip. will it be scratchy? would it be soft? rather than ask those questions, wanda smiles at him and teases, ] I hope you don't disappoint.

I won't.

( he's very confident in his abilities despite not having kissed someone in awhile. )

If I do, I'll gladly go take a walk off the edge of the building.

[ she snorts, shaking her head. ]

And they say I'm dramatic.

[ folding her arms against her chest, she narrows her eyes playfully at him. ]

Will you wear the spacesuit that lets you float?

[ you know, since all spacemen have floating suits. ]

It's not the spacesuit that helps me float.

( though he definitely would need that if they were in space. )

It's the lack of gravity.

[ wanda rolls her eyes. ] You ruin my space jokes!

[ and she doesn't want to talk about gravity and whatnot right now, not when the new year is just a handful of minutes away. no, what she wants to talk about is what makes her feel both flustered and a little excited. ]

If you walk off the edge of a building, I will pity you and save you. [ but she says much softer, ] But I hope you don't do that.

I'm not going to do that.

( time continues to tick down and he smiles at her, looking at the other people around her. )

And miss out on a kiss? I'd have to be stupid.

What if it ruins you for all other kisses?

[ wanda and her fake big ego at work here. she's a little nervous, and so she leans heavily on something that she has missed since pietro's death: being utterly exasperatingly dramatic.

she presses her hand against her chest and shakes her head. ]

I don't know if I can be responsible for that.

You really think highly about how you kiss, don't you?

( it makes him laugh. )

If it manages to do that, I'll be impressed.

[ she doesn't, but wanda likes to puff out her chest on occasion and pretend that she's as confident as she doesn't feel. this is one of those times. she's never gotten as far as she'd like by allowing her insecurities to overtake her.

she cocks her brow and regards him in amusement. ]

After everything you know I can do, you doubt me?

Kissing's a little different than all those other things you can do.

( just saying. )

A little more personal.

Magic's personal.

[ she wrings her hands together. ]

It's a part of me... just like kissing is, I guess.
