Natasha Romanoff (My Noodles V)

Natasha's POV

"For god sake! How long is she going take?!? It's already 12am!!" the guy with a metal arm yelled

"You need to be patient, Bucky...She needs some time to her own" Steve said, trying to ease his best friend, he seemed to have calmed himself and sat at the open kitchen counter

I'm currently still sitting, with my feet on the couch while biting my fingernails, (Y/n) has not yet returned and my worries were growing by the hour, by the minute and by the second, Steve, Bucky and I are all waiting for her to come back

We tried convincing Bucky to take some rest but he insisted that he's wait for (Y/n), as I was stuck with my own thoughts I didn't felt the cushion deepen next to me "You don't think something bad happened to her..." Steve's voice snapped me out from my head

"I don't know what to think, Steve..." my lips quivered and my hands were trembling as the ideas of something bad happening to (Y/n) and we don't know it, just here...like sitting ducks...

"You must really like her...(Y/n) I mean" Steve started, I looked at him because he caught me by surprise but I didn't answer and averted eye contact with him "It's just...I haven't seen you like this"

"Steve..."

"Yeah?"

"Do you know what it feels like to be...in love?" when I turned to him I could see I caught him off guard then he chuckled nervously

"Yeah...I do"

"What...does it...feel like?" Steve then smiled warmly, most likely thinking how it felt like, his eyes turned to his hands

"It feels like...you can't get enough of that person, you want to know more about them even though there's nothing else to know, your heart starts beating in the speed of light every time you see them or when they smile at you or even the most little things they do, that electric feeling whenever you're near them, and the feeling that you always want to be with them so you can protect them from any harm that come in the way..."

Steve paused for a second and before he continued he looked at me "That's what it feels like to be in love..." I thought for a second about what Steve said and it came to my realization that the things he said are almost exactly how I feel about...(Y/n)

"Nat..." he asked but I didn't answer "Are you...in love with (Y/n)?"

"I-"

"(Y/n)!" the thing I was about to say was cut off by Bucky, when he yelled the girl's name, me and Steve talking about, all of us stood up and saw (Y/n) in a dirty, scratched up red dress, she had a lot of cuts and bruises but the worse one was on the side of her waist

There was a huge and deep cut on her waist that seems to be needing some stitches, there was also a cut on her shoulder that had dried blood, we couldn't see her face since her hair was covering it, she then reached for her feet and took off both of her heels and we noticed that a bruise had form on her ankle

"(Y/n), where have you been?" Steve asked while approaching her but she didn't answer, instead she looked at Bucky

"Did you give it?" she questioned with a low and soft voice and he nodded "Good..." then she began walking again, she began to head to the kitchen and took a bag of chips, a few chocolates and a bottle of coke

Me and Steve looked at each other confused looks on our faces but we both shrugged, then she started to walk to her room and before she could reach her room I grabbed her wrist, not too hard because I don't want to hurt her "(Y/n), wait" she stopped "Let's get you checked up first and patch those wounds you have" it took her a second before she could answer
