In the following weeks the two of them fell into a routine, and every day after lunch, Y/n would teach Wanda how she slowly fixed the house. "how can it be just you?" Wanda asked confused. "This house is very old. And even tho it has had so many families living here, every time they leave the house stays empty for a long time. And the staff gets tired of waiting. Pretty much everyone that has or is working as services has worked on these grounds. And since no one wants to come back I’m the only staff that works here” she explained.
She finished washing the dishes and Wanda was quick to get to her side and help her dry them off. "You don't need to do that" She quickly said. It wasn't good on any level that her boss was helping her clean the dishes. "But I want to". Wanda finished. "This house is too big for you to do everything on your own".
"Miss Maximoff, I'm used to this" She mentioned with a small smile. It has been so long since someone even offered to help. "I can do it on my own" But she was used to it. "Doesn't mean that you have to do it" Wanda smiled back. They fell into a comfortable silence as Wanda finished drying the dishes and Y/n finished cleaning the kitchen.
"Here's a thought" Wanda mentioned as she put away the last dish. She turned around just to find Y/n cleaning the aisle of the kitchen, and she was slowly standing up. She had to clear her throat a few times before she felt sure her voice would sound clear and strong, and it wouldn't be shaking.
Y/n stood up, leaving her skirt to fall back under her ass. She turned around to look at Wanda. "Let's go to the pool". "Miss Maximoff-". "You know it's Wanda". "Wanda" She started once more. "I'm not allowed to do that". "Says who?". "You're my boss". "Exactly why, I get to decide whether you get to be in the pool or not". But Y/n wasn't sure.
"Y/n come on. What do you have to lose?". "My job" She mentioned, tho neither Wanda nor herself believed in her words. "Get changed" Wanda ordered with a smiled and left the kitchen to get herself changed. Y/n sighed and did what she was told. She went into the staff room and changed her uniform into a swimsuit.
She grabbed a towel and walked to the patio, leaving her stuff on a chair as she waited for Wanda. She sat down near the pool and put her feet inside the water. She stood there for a few minutes just waiting for her boss to arrive.
Wanda on the other side was admiring her view from the patio door. The sun was setting and the weather was warm, allowing them to be outside without any issue. But after minutes of thinking about all the things she had for the last week, things that involved Y/n, she walked next to her and sat down.
"I'm sorry I took so long" She apologized. "It's no problem" She mentioned with a smile. "But why did you want to come to the pool?" She asked. Wanda shrugged and gently kicked her legs on the water. "I just wanted a break from work". "Okay... Why did you want me to come to the pool with you?" She asked again.
"I thought you deserved a break too" She answered. "I wanted you to relax. Is it working?" She asked. "Just a little bit" Y/n chuckled and got inside the pool.
Within the next hour, Wanda had brought a bottle of wine and two glasses. She was sitting on the side of the pool with her legs in the water while Y/n rested her head on her arms.
"You haven't told me about your family" Wanda mentioned taking her glass up to her lips. "My mother died when I was 16, and I never met my father". Wanda wanted to ask if he had left but decided that it wasn't respectful to ask that. Y/n chuckled like she was reading Wanda's thoughts and took a sip of her wine. "He died when I was born. Or a few years after that".
"Did your mom never remarry?". "I don't think she had time for that. She was always busy working or spending her time with me. But she always told me she didn't need a man". "Well, men are useless" Wanda smiled. Y/n chuckled. "Not all of them are bad".
"Do you have a boyfriend?" She hoped not. It would be extremely awkward if she had one and she was yet offering herself to Wanda every time she had to work. "I am so busy working I couldn't have the time for a boyfriend" She smiled. "But I don't need one either. I'm good as I am".
"Can I ask you something?" She looked at Wanda after a few minutes of silence. "Go ahead". "Why did you try to fix your marriage with Mr. Stark? I mean, since the both of you got here, it never appeared that you liked each other very much". "Wanda sighed. "He's all I had... And I think I was afraid to let him go".
"And now?". "I don't think I'm afraid anymore". "You're not?". Wanda shook her head. "I've understood that Vision doesn't make me happy. I thought he did but I realized that I only stood with Vision for so long because I thought he was gonna be all I ever had and after Na-" She stopped herself. "After what happened I thought he was gonna be all I had left. Turns out I was very wrong. I don't even have him anymore".
"I don't think you need him" Wanda looked at her. "I know we don't know each other that much, and you must have your reasons as to why you feel that way, but I think that you have made a lot of accomplishments by yourself. And I think that trying to keep going by yourself is the bravest thing someone can do".
"I'm not that brave Y/n". "I think you are. Only you aren't able to see it yet"

call it projection but i dont think tony takes care of himself much. i know that boy has yellowish teeth and a bedhead that'll scare even the tasmanian devil.
so do you think that ever gets to him? like some nights he's just sittin there thinking about all the health bs he has going on. i imagine he'd spend hours just counting everything thats wrong with him. everything that hurts. like, his joints, chest, back, neck, teeth, eyes.
sounds horrible.
(I am talking about Tony pre-Infinity war)
I fully believe that Tony forces himself to continue being in the public eye because he dosn't know how else to motivate himself to take care of himself.
Every time he thinks about not brushing his teeth, he remembers the full-length article about how his teeth are yellowing, and how multiple reporters asked him about it after the article was released. Every time he considers a new haircut or facial hair style, he remembers the time he messed up shaving and had to sit through a 3 hour meeting about it, in which everyone tried to decide if Tony needs to just avoid public appearances until it regrows.
I think Tony is so very precise about how visible appearance, and for that reason, he is so sloppy with his non-visible health. He's got a stiff back from working through the night, and he likes it because nobody can see it. He's got acid reflux and he will never report it to a doctor because... who cares? The public doesn't, so he doesn't. He's got a shoulder that clicks every time he lifts his arm and doesn't give a shit, but if he gets a bloody nose he checks obsessively if the nose is not crooked.
And he will never let himself get out of the public eye, because then he would fall apart. If theres no crowd of eyes to keep him looking the part, he will stop being Tony Stark.
