Soulmates

Away

When you run, you run into the living room. Not the best choice considering it's one of the most public places of the compound but you ran and your feet just took you somewhere.

There was no goal in mind, just, away. Not just from them. From everything. Including yourself.

You bump into Nat when you run in and she holds your shoulders tight so you don't fall. Of course you instantly pull away with fear in your eyes. Not wanting to be touched still.

"Woah. What's wrong?" She asks. And as if on cue, your two super soldiers come in right behind you. They keep their distance, not getting too close, knowing you don't want to be smothered.

"I need to go. I can't be here." You sob. She reaches out to comfort you, but you back away, shaking your head no. "No. No touching. Please I can't be touched. I just, I need to go. I can't be here."

The boys watch. They trust Nat to take care of you. They know that the best hands you could be in, if it couldn't be theirs, was Natasha's. "Okay. Then let's go somewhere, yea?"

You nod your head yes and then look back at the boys. Both looking at you, trying to figure out what they should do. "I-I'm sorry." You whisper.

You feel guilty for pushing them away, especially when all you want is them. But you're so conflicted. One moment all you want is to be held, the next you just can't be touched because when you are it reminds you of when he touched you.

"Do not be sorry sweetheart. Do what you need to do and then come back to us. You're in good hands. Take all the time you need. I love you."

You can't help it. You run into his arms. Crying into his chest. He loosely hugs you back. Not wanting to hold you too tight incase you didn't want that. "I love you." You cry. Soaking his T-shirt.

He kisses the top of your head and you pull away, looking at Bucky. He looks sad. They both do. You wrap your arms around him and you can hear his heartbeat quicken. "I love you babe." You hadn't called him babe since before you had left, and you knew he loved it.

You were leaving, you didn't know for how long, and you were coming back, but you wanted to make them somewhat happy before you left, because you knew they would sulk when you were gone.

"I love you doll. So fucking much." You pull away and wipe your eyes turning back to Nat. "Go pack a bag, a weeks worth of stuff and then we'll go."

You nod and leave the room. Nat Steve and Bucky stay behind. "Where are you taking her?" Bucky asks. "Somewhere safe, somewhere I know will help her. Just trust me. She'll be okay, and she'll be back."

They nod and look at each other before looking back to Nat. "Take car of our girl." The say at the same time. You walk in with your back and look at them.

"When I get back you owe me a breakfast." You say trying to lighten the mood, since Steve was supposed to make you breakfast this morning. "I believe I also owe you a dance my love." He smiles.

"You do." You say softly, a small smile tugging at your lips. "Then when you get back, you'll get breakfast, and a dance. From both of us."
