[From the outside looking in, it seems more likely that Dick is sensitive about the scars because they're ugly. There are a great many of them and they cover his body, mar what might otherwise be physical perfection. For someone as handsome as him, she could understand feeling self-conscious about that sort of thing. It's not a sign of vanity but a sense of...self, perhaps? Natasha has a pretty big scar at her hip, doesn't she? One that she never leaves uncovered. She'd understand it being the same for Dick.
It doesn't explain how he got them or why there are so many...but he's still him. Never once has she gotten a sense that he's someone other than he presents himself to be. What truths he's told her are just that. The truth.
Wanda lets him pull her in close, sighs in the circle of his tight embrace and closes her eyes. She holds him close, hands running over bared skin, over all the scars under her fingertips and treats them the same as the unblemished skin. Worthy of being touched, worthy of being stroked and caressed the same as the rest of him.]
No, thank you for trusting me with it. [And in saying it she makes her promise that she won't tell others about those scars. Not if he's so intent on keeping them private.]
