I'll Always Love You - A Romanogers Fanfic

6

Steve and Natasha arrive back at the hotel at midnight. They're discussing the mission and what they have to do tomorrow when they're interrupted by the woman behind the counter.

"Mr. And Mrs. Rushman how was your evening?" She asks energetically.
"It was fine thank you" Natasha says and they hurry past her hand in hand like the 'couple' they are.

NATASHA'S POV

"There's something odd about that woman" I say as we enter the elevator and Steve presses the button to our floor.
"There is?" He asks and leans against the wall.
I nod and take my heels off and sigh relieved when my feet are finally free after a long night.
The elevator dings at the third floor, and we get out and walk to our room.

"What do you mean there's something weird about her?" Steve asks me when the door has closed behind us.
"I don't know, it's just my spy instincts, do you mind unzipping me?" I ask.
He hesitates a bit.
"Sure" he says after a while.
His fingers lightly traces my skin when he unzips my dress, and I shiver a little from his touch.
"Thank you" I say when he has unzipped it, revealing my entire back.
"I'm gonna go get ready for bed" I say and go to the bathroom after grabbing my sleepwear and my toothbrush from my suitcase.

STEVE'S POV

What just happened? That was so weird. It was nothing, and it's not like I have never gotten butterflies when being with Natasha, it just hasn't happened often, but this was a little different. Maybe it's Europe? Or maybe I'm just getting too comfortable in modern society where guys just stare at women all the time and are inappropriate, but that can't be it because I've never done so until now.

I spread a blanket on the couch in the living area and grab my toothbrush.
I knock on the door to the bathroom.

"Nat, can I come in and brush my teeth?" I ask loudly through the closed door.
"Yeah, come on in" she says from the other side and unlocks the door.

We brush in sync.
"I'm going to sleep on the couch" I say with my mouth full of toothpaste.
"Okay" she says, spits out and leave the bathroom wearing sweatpants and a loose t-shirt instead of her dress.

When I come back out she's already in bed with her laptop.
"I was just checking the trackers. They seem like they've worked perfectly, but there's a low pulse on all of them, telling us that they're not up to anything big, and they're all in the same place, just different rooms in a hotel a couple of miles from here" she says.

I go to her and look at the screen.
"Look microphones" I say and point at the top corner.
"Ooh" she squeals excitedly and presses the button.
The computer cackles, but soon we hear voices.

"We're going to get Master Leon as soon as sun rise" a guy says in a French accent.
"Absolutely" a guy with a German accent says.
"The two that took him were definitely from S.H.I.E.L.D" a woman with an American accent says.
There's agreeing hums from several of the gathered.
"Where are we searching?" Another one asks.
"Everywhere" the woman says. Natasha places the computer on the bed next to her, still being able to hear the voices.

"I'm pretty convinced that woman is the most important loose end Hill talked about" she says.
I agree. "But I think there's more than that one" I say.
"Of course, and we'll piece that together when we order breakfast to the room instead of going to the restaurant" she says and leaves the laptop on the floor after disconnecting the microphones and closing the screen.
I don't even question why she closed our leads, because she always thinks one step ahead of us, and probably know a way they could come back and bite us in the ass, excuse the expression.

"Goodnight Romanoff" I say and go to my couch.
"Night Rogers" she says back and turns off the night lamp before lying down sighing comfortably.

I turn off the ceiling lights and lie down, and fall asleep quickly, but I wake up a few hours later to loud terrified mumbles coming from Natasha.

Six first chapters done. Not the most exciting things have happened, but we have sensed a little something.
Please tell me what you think about the story so far (if you feel like it) so I know, that it's not complete shit (language) what I'm writing.
