I'll Always Love You - A Romanogers Fanfic

STEVE'S POV

We're sitting around the small, round table in Sam and Natasha's room. There's silence and tension. Nat's only been here for a few hours, so we decided to get together to discuss the situation, but no one is saying anything.

Sharon keeps glaring angrily at Natasha, but Nat doesn't seem to notice. Or she just doesn't care.

"Does anyone want more soda or chips or something? I'd happily go to the store and get it" Sam says and looks at Natasha, Sharon and I.
"No thank you Sam, I'm good" I say and tap my fingers on the table.
"Nothing for me either" Natasha says and stares at the surface of the table.
"Sharon?" Sam asks hopeful.
She shakes her head without taking her eyes off Natasha.
Sam sighs disappointed and leans back in his creaky chair.

"So how was it everyone's situation were?" Natasha finally asks.
"Scott in house arrest, Bucky is rehabilitating in Wakanda, Clint is with his family and Wanda is in the room next door" I sum up.
"Wanda is here?" Natasha asks surprised.
I nod. "She's more depressed than before. She still blames herself, and she's still mourning Pietro" I say.
Sam draws circles on the table. "I tried talking to her, but she...erh...let's just say I was thrown out of the room by her wiggly-woos" he says.
Natasha's lips twitch into a tiny smile at the way Sam describes Wanda's powers.
I can't take my eyes off her, and Sharon seems to notice. "Let's go back to our own room, shall we?" She asks and slides a hand down my t-shirt, making me uncomfortable.

NATASHA'S POV

I feel the need to throw up as I see Sharon's hand under Steve's t-shirt.
He doesn't lean into it, but she still has a victory smile all over her face.
I want nothing more than to grab my beer bottle and hit her in the head so it shatters all over her ugly face.

"We only just sat down 20 minutes ago" Steve says confused.
"I know, but there's so much we can do" Sharon whispers loudly into his ear and puts her hand in his hair. She keeps giving me evil glances.

I stand up. "I'm gonna go talk to Wanda" I say and exchange a look with Sam before I look at Steve.
"Did I tear all of your t-shirts completely when we were having sex? Is that why you need to wear that one with a hole in it?" I ask Steve with a smirk and put my finger in the hole on the back of his t-shirt.
He looks uncomfortably at me and Sharon moves away from him with an angry gasp.
Sam just looks amused when I slam the door behind me.

I knock on Wanda's door.
"Go away Sam. I don't want to talk to you" she says from the other side of the door.
"It's not Sam, it's Natasha" I say, and the door opens immediately.
"Natasha? What are you doing here?" She asks.
"I came back for you people" I smile and hug her before I sit down on her bed.

After an hour or so after talking to Wanda, discussing whether or not she should go somewhere with Vision, I leave her room.

The night air is chilly and I take a moment to look at the stars.
"Did you get through to her?" Steve suddenly says next to me.
I turn to him. "I did, yeah. We decided that she can leave with Vision if they stay somewhat close" I say and put my hands on my waist.
"Do you think that'll work?" He asks concerned.
"Stop being overprotective. If she does what we agreed on, and she's with Vision, I don't think anything will happen" I say and we start walking down the row of doors.

STEVE' POV

We turn the corner when we get to the end of the building.
Just being near Natasha is like the perfect distraction from Sharon's surveillance of me that's been going on since Natasha came.
"How did you get away from Sharon?" Natasha asks with a small grin.
I chuckle. "She took a shower. She told me to stay in the bed and not go anywhere, but I didn't listen" I say.
"Ooh, you're so disobedient" she laughs.
"I'm never going to hear the end of it when I get back, that's for sure" I say and smile to her.

"Where did you go when you got away from Ross?" I ask her when we're done laughing.
She stops and leans against the wall.
"First Norway, and I had planned to stay, but then something happened, and I went to Budapest and then Russia" she says.
"Why?" I ask her, moving a little bit closer so I can see her face in the dusk, but as I hate to admit to myself, also because I want to be closer to her.
"Let's just say it was almost like a family reunion" she says and smiles.
"What? You saw Yelena and your 'parents' again?" I ask surprised.
"Yeah, we brought down the Red Room" she says.
"I read about that Russian facility being brought down, but I didn't know it was you" I say fast in curiosity for more.
"It was really nice to see them all again" she says, ignoring my asking tone. "After a while" she adds with a giggle, looking like she's reminiscing the events of the last months.

She shivers and looks at me after a while of not saying anything.
"Can we go back? It's pretty cold" she says.
"Take my hoodie" I say and take off my navy blue zip-up and put it on her shoulders.
"Thanks. Do you not want to go back to Sharon?" She asks with a chuckle.
"No I do, but I didn't want you to be cold" I say, well knowing that I lied. I want to stay out here with her.

She sighs as we start walking back.
"I missed you when you were gone" I say, and she stops walking, without saying anything for a while.
"But haven't you been too busy with your second Carter woman?" She asks harshly. "Sorry, it's just...I don't think I expected you to move on so fast" she adds softly and look down to the concrete.

I cup her face, and gently forces her eyes to meet mine.
I move closer to her. "I have been thinking about you every time I've kissed her. Every morning I've woken up, I've hoped that it was you who was next to me.
When we cuddle up I can't stop thinking about how her body doesn't feel right, it doesn't fit like yours. So I sure haven't moved on at all" I say and hold my breath when I finish, scared what her answer might be.

NATASHA'S POV

My heart is racing from his words. My lips are aching for his. He's so close that our noses touch.
"I haven't moved on either. I've been thinking about you every goddamn second I had available" I whisper.
His breath increases and he grabs onto my waist in eager.
I put my hands in his soft hair, and buries my fingers.
Oh my god. Am I supposed to be a good person and not kiss him? I can't.
"Steve? What about Sharon?" I ask, and my breathing is fast and desperate.
"I don't care right now" he says.
"But you will later" I say.
"It'll be worth it" he says and slam his lips on mine.

I whimper in pleasure and move closer.
Holy shit I've missed him.
He grabs onto my waist tighter and pull me even closer to him.

I'm completely lost in his kiss, twirling my tongue with his, and I'm pressed directly up against him.
No matter what'll come, this is worth it.
He hums in relief, and picks me up.
I wrap my leg around his waist as he pins me against the wall.

We're both moaning in desperation and I feel every kind of sensibility shut down as I bury my tongue deeper in his throat.
"I want you back, Nat" he pants into my mouth.
"I want you ba-..." I start, but I'm interrupted by a voice.

"Honey! Where the hell are you!?" Sharon yells.
"Suka" I mumble to myself as we pull away from the kiss.
"Oh no" Steve says and helps me back down to the concrete.
"I have to go back!" He whispers panicked and almost turns the corner before I stop him.
"Steve! Your lips are swollen. Whatever you do, don't kiss her, and don't look directly at her until they're normal. She'll find out" I whisper.
"Yours are swollen too" he whispers and points.
"I know they are, but it's not like I'm going back to kiss Sam, now is it?" I say. "You go back first" I whisper.
He nods and kiss my cheek before he casually walks around the corner.
I sigh and slide down the wall. Crap. This is bad.
