Toxic - A Natasha Romanoff x Female Reader Story

Chapter 22

Natasha's POV:

I look between both Bucky and Y/N who are staring each other down.

"Wait, wait, wait. You two know each other?"

I see Y/N glance at me and then back at Bucky and she slowly nods frowning and picks at her fingernails keeping the bed covers wrapped tightly around her.

"Y-yeah, we know each other from Hydra. I obviously knew him as the Winter Soldier. I learnt his nickname when I saw the history of him and Steve in World War 2 at the museum. Bucky was the one who trained me in a majority of my combat."

I look at Bucky and I rub my face.

"Can you please leave so we can get dressed?"

I see him eye me up and he rolls his eyes and scoffs.

"It's not like I haven't seen it before."

"I said get out!"

I watch as he storms out slamming the door with such force it makes the wall around the doorframe crack and I sigh resting my head on my knees. I hear shuffling about and I watch as Y/N gets dressed and I frown.

"Where are you going?"

"I just want to go for a walk, this is a lot for me to take in. I never thought I'd see him again. Never mind him being my girlfriend's ex. I'm guessing that's what he meant by 'it didn't take you long'."

I sigh gently moving on the bed so that I'm knelt up and I gently grab her hand. 

"Y/N it was over a year ago now, I promise you. I love you, not him."

She gently squeezes my hand and kisses my forehead.

"I believe you, Nat, I really do. I love you too, I just-I just need a walk to go clear my head."

I frown upset looking down but I nod. To make this work I'm better off trusting her and just letting her do what she needs to do. I feel her lift my chin to make my eyes meet hers and she leans in kissing me softly and I gently hold her face kissing back until she breaks away.

"I'm not mad or upset with you Nat. I just need some fresh air, I promise I'll be back."

I nod squeezing her hand one last time before I watch her walk out and I frown leaning back into our bed covers holding her pillow close to my chest. I know she isn't mad or upset with me but I can't stop myself from crying. I nuzzle my head into her pillow sobbing into it. I let myself cry for a good 10 to 15 minutes and I hear a knock on the door and I sniffle sitting up.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, doll."

I scoff rolling my eyes at the nickname Bucky has for me and I put my underwear on and wear one of Y/N's oversized hoodies taking in the smell of her perfume. I walk towards the door opening it and look at him. 

"I thought I told you to go away."

He walks past me into mine and Y/N's room and I look at him annoyed.

"Sure, come in I guess?"

I shut the door and cross my arms looking at him, I watch him as he looks around the room at all the photos of me and Y/N as a couple or both of us and Wanda as a family.

"What do you want Bucky?"

"Well, I want you. I want you back. I did my time in Wakanda to better myself for you-"

"Let me stop you right there. You shouldn't have been doing it for me, you should have been doing it for yourself so don't try and put that weight on my shoulders. Also, I fucking BEGGED you to let me come with you to Wakanda. It was you who told me that I couldn't and that our breakup would be the best for us both. You also told me not to wait for you if you haven't forgotten, it seems like you have though."
