Chapter 11: Don't fall

I woke up to a loud banging at my bedroom door making me groan.

"SHUT UP!" I yelled with my eyes closed, holding what I thought was a pillow tighter. I scattered out of bed as soon as I heard the "pillow" groan, causing me to land flat on my butt.

"Hey, Y/n you okay?" I hear Steve ask from the other side of my door.

"Yeah just fell," I say loud enough for him to hear. I hear his footsteps slowly fade meaning he is walking away.

"Alright, get ready we're going on a run!" he shouts.

"OK," I shout back.

"Shut up," I hear a familiar raspy voice say. I hesitantly pick myself up off the ground and look at my bed only to see Ms. Romanoff laying in my bed rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

I sigh in relief remembering what happened last night, "Oh thank god," I mumble as I dust myself off.

"Morning Red, good sleep?" I ask as I go to my wardrobe to take out a pair of athletic shorts. I turn around when she doesn't respond just to see her sitting up on my bed just looking at me.

"What?" I ask confused.

"Uh, Y/n Jr. seems to have a problem," she says as her eyes trail down to my lower region simultaneously biting her lip. I look down and see that Jr. absolutely does have a problem, a big one.

"Sorry morning wood," I tell her as I quickly slip on the pair of shorts feeling my face heat up a little.

"It's fine it's normal," she says with a chuckle.

"Ok cool," I say giving her an awkward smile.

"Anyways me and Steve are gonna go on a run but you can stay here and do whatever I'm sure Steve won't mind," I tell her as I walk into the bathroom trying to stray away from the subject of Y/n Jr.

"Aren't you gonna get blue balls or something?" she asks me as she walks into the bathroom.

"Yeah, but it'll go away sooner or later," I tell her trying to wrap the subject up as fast as I start my morning routine.

I look in the mirror to look at her just to see that she's having an argument with herself as she has her "thinking" face on. I was about to ask what's up but Steve shouting interrupted me.

"Hey, I'm gonna wait for you outside if you're not out in five I'm leaving without you!" Steve shouts.

"I'm almost done!" I shout back as I dry my face, flicking some water at Natasha.

"Asshole," I hear Nat say under her breath as I exit the bathroom.

"I heard that," I tell her as I grab my phone and keys. I walk up to her and wipe some water off her cheek with my thumb. I look at her with a smile and walk towards the door of my room.

"Toodles!" I exclaim as I exit my room. I quickly make my way out the apartment door and out the apartment complex itself. I meet up with Steve with a smile.

"Took you long enough," he says as he starts running.

"Yeah sorry I had to help Nat," I say to him as I run beside him.

"So she was with you," he trails off.

"Oh my- please tell me you didn't sleep with her," he says as he turns his head to look at me.

"I wish," I mumble somewhat hoping he didn't hear me.

"Really?" he asks in a disappointed fatherly tone.

"What she's attractive!" I say defending myself.

"Whats it to ya anyways? You got a crush on her or something?" I ask kinda serious.
