NATASHA POV-
"Bruce is here, go accompany him" I heard her say. Instead of arguing with her I just left the room. Why wont she believe that I don't want Bruce? I want her. She was getting jealous about nothing. I thought now would be the time to go and tell Bruce since hardly anyone is here. I had to be quick though, they're all back soon because we have a mission coming up.
I searched around the compound looking for him when I walked into his lab and saw him there working on some sort of weapon, I presume for our missions. "What you making here?" I asked causing him to jump. "J-just something for our future missions." He replied obviously startled by my unexpected presence in the room. "Hey I haven't heard from you in a couple of hours, what's that about?" He asked. "I just went to bed, I was tired" to which I earned a nod. Good he believed me.
He walked over to me and puts his hand on my waist. He leaned in and kissed my lips. I didn't kiss back, I just let him do what he did. I felt another presence so I quickly spun around but whoever it was had disappeared. "Hey Bruce" I started. "Yes honey?" He replied. I was about to say it. "Uh n-nothing" I couldn't bring myself to it so I just left. Maybe I should just stick with Bruce right? I mean, Y/N hated me before. What if she's just faking all of this?
Y/N POV-
They kissed. It was too good to be true. 'I want you' my ass. Anyway, I couldn't care less. I went back to my room and had a nap, setting my alarm for when the rest of the avengers came back.
My alarm went off and I heard a commotion downstairs in the kitchen. I walked down and was greeted by the rest of the avengers. "Hey Y/N" Wanda said hugging me tightly. I saw Natasha glaring at us. Then came Carol who I picked up and spun around. "Hey blondie" I kissed her cheek and put her down. I carried on greeting people before we were all called into the kitchen by Tony who had ordered pizza for everyone.
We all sat down at the table, laughing and joking. I was sat quietly at the end of the table as everyone else was having fun. I was sat next to Wanda who was sat next to Yelena. Carol was opposite me talking across the table to Maria. I was grateful because that meant I didn't have to make conversation with anyone. I saw Natasha and Bruce sat together, close as could be. Bruce's arm was around Natasha while she looked uncomfortable. I couldn't give a shit. She had her chance. She blew it. She's a russian spy, of course she knew I was there- that's why she's sat with him and not me. Even though it means that she won't be as attached to me, it will be much more difficult to get the information I require out of her. I like how attached to me she is or was, so that kinda sucks ass too.
Throughout the whole pizza party, she was staring at me. At one point, everyone started to switch seats to get different slices of pizza. Natasha and Bruce sat in front of me. Wanda noticed how tense I was so stayed with me. She kept trying to talk to me and check if I was ok but I just made small talk. I'm a mafia boss, I don't need anyones pity. It was nice to know that someone actually cares though and is not using me. My usual career meant I had to stay formal all the time and act intimidating even if I didn't feel it. I usually do though. Confidence is one of my best traits, or so i'm told by all the people I have to flirt with.
Technically because i'm the boss, i'm not meant to do the missions of others. But because they're not as strategic as me, I decide to step in. Also I can't stay still, I get bored pretty easily so I do them myself to occupy my mind. Usually, it's easy for me to not fall for anyone. I don't know how it happened this time. Did I just admit to have feelings for Natasha? Yes, yes I did. I mean I kind of already did, to her, but part of that was for my mission. This, just now, was just self-confirmation that everything I told her was actually true. It was from my heart.
I was deep in thought, completely zoned out, when I felt a shoe move around my leg. I leaned back and looked under the table discreetly and saw the same heeled boots as I saw in my room that morning. Natasha. Her hand was tangled in Bruce's hair as her leg was pressed against mine. "What the fuck are you doing?" I whispered to her to which I got no reply. "You're making a dangerous move Natalia." I saw how she shifted in her seat at this name. Bruce was too busy talking to Tony and Steve to hear me and Natasha.
By now everyone had gone upstairs. Me, Bruce, Wanda and Natasha were left. They were all chatting away, Natasha occasionally looking at me as I was staring into space, sipping on my apple cider. Wanda soon left, touching my hand as she did so which made Natasha jealous. Then Bruce. Right after Bruce left I put my empty bottle away, I didn't want to spend another minute with Natasha.
I began to head out of the room and upstairs when she grabbed my arm. Without turning around I said "I'll give you 3 seconds to get the fuck off my arm or you better start running." "Y/N I couldn't do it" She said. "I don't wanna hear it" I said, pulling my arm out of her grasp. "Just let me talk to you" She begged. I pressed my tongue to my teeth and made a sucking noise as I was thinking. "Come with me" I ordered as we speed-walked down the corridor towards my room.
We entered my room and I shut my door. "Sit" I told her. I could tell she was liking my dominance over her. "So you didn't tell him?" "I couldn't bring myself to do it, but I will, I promise" She attempted to grab my hand. "No don't touch me, I watched you guys kiss, I watched him touch you at the dinner table, I watched you play with his hair." I told her. "Y/N, I can't let people go." She cried. "Bullshit." I replied. "Someone let me go!" I watched her as she sobbed, fighting all the temptation to hold her. "Natasha." "No Y/N, please don't shout at me." "Natalia baby" I said hoping this would get her attention. She looked at me with tears still pouring out of her eyes. "I understand." I told her sympathetically.
"I have to tell you something" I said slowly. "I know, you're part of the mafia Y/N, I heard you on the phone in the gym that day and I know it's me you need information from, but I also know that you weren't meant to catch feelings and you did and you know what you're right, I do believe everything you say, I believe that you truly weren't supposed to feel this way." "Natalia i'm not just part of the mafia, i'm a boss..." I told her. "I don't care" She claimed, "But what did you need to know about me?" "We wanted take down Dreykov, the red room leader." She tensed up at this. "We understand that you had a background with him but you got out which we found was rare, we needed you to help us find him and take him down. They were going to torture it out of you, force you to help us but I saw your file. You caught my eye and I had another idea. Like you said, I wasn't meant to catch feelings, but I did." I took a breath and searched her face for a reaction.
She pulled my face closer to hers and kissed me passionately. Not just a kiss of wanting me, but this time a kiss to know that she really needs me and truly chooses me over Bruce.
