N.R. One Shots

The last I love you.

"Y/N!!!"
You open your eyes a sliver. You see her beautiful green ocean eyes boring into you, and then red engulfs you again.

"Y/N!!!"
What is that distraught scream?

You just want to slip away into the utter darkness that's beckoning to you.

"Y/N, baby, please no!"

You see her. Clear as day. Its 4th of July. Her shimmering dress reflects the light of the fireworks. Her eyes shone, mischief dancing in them.

"Baby? Baby open your eyes..."

Suddenly, its her birthday. Well, not her official birthday, since she doesn't know when that is. So you had decided her birthday was exactly a months from yours. You watch her delighted smile as you hand her your gift. Its a gun, and you've crafted it, in the long hours you spend in the workshop. She used it on every mission.

"Try and stay awake baby.."

Its another long day. Her hands easily find the knots of tension in your back. She places gentle kisses on the back of your neck. You love coming home to her.

"Where was she shot?"
"Right here, below the ribcage."

The images are getting foggier, but there's her on their engagement day. You see tears well up in her eyes as she sees you down on one knee, the back box in your hands. Its a simple ring, silver band with a red stone, but she loves it.

"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do, Agent. The wound is too deep."
"No! You have to try!"
"I'm sorry ma'am."

The beautiful arch of daisies. She loves daises. Her veil hardly shields her bridal beauty as she smiles shyly at you. Vows are said, and she's all yours. You kiss her, right there in front of the Avengers. Everything feels so...right.

"Baby? Baby look at me... I love you Y/N..."

She tells you not to come on the mission. Because you're the target. You're the one they're after. You tell her not to worry.
Oh, how you wish you had listened..

"Agent Romanoff, please ascend the helicarrier."
"I'm not leaving her!"
"Nat, she's gone..."
"No! No!"
"Nat come on."

The voice, her voice is growing faint. Your brain fogs over.

"No! I love you Y/N! I always will! I love you!"
"I love you too, Tasha," you choke out.

And then its over.
