Love Is A Dagger- NATASHA ROMANOFF X READER

Part 26- What If?

You look around the room and suddenly curl up, faking sickness as you saw Sharon and Steve kissing, "Blegh" You said, loud enough to let them hear, "Way to-" Steve starts, "Go ahead Frisbee Boy, ruin the moment, huh?" You taunt, Steve looks away in embarrassment, trying not to laugh.

"I have to agree with Y/N here, Steve, that was disgusting bro." says Sam. You high five him and dramatically look away from Steve, "C'mon Y/N" Steve says, flying his hands up in defence. Sharon laughs and you suddenly don't know what to feel "Is this bonding" says Nat.

"Just cause we are dating does not mean I can let this pass." you reply, turning to her, a knife appearing out of nowhere. "Haha let's just put this down, and," Nat says, grabbing the knife and putting it to the side, pulling you into a kiss. You let her warmth flood your body when she pulls away you want to grab her again but leave it.

"Are we good now?" Nat asks, watching a blush creep across your nose. "I don't know." you say. "Might need a bit more." "Hey that's enough okay we got to ration you." she replies, you pout and snuggle into her chest. "I think we are good." Nat whispers.

"It's been a week, surely you science guys have done something" complains Bucky. "Well we haven't exactly seen zombies so" says Bruce. Bucky looks at Tony but he is blacked out, drunk in the corner. "Well thanks Tony, that's helpful information." Bucky says sarcastically.

You quietly laugh, Tony had been drinking a bit but you guys let it slip because everyone was stressed and needed something to cope.

For you coping was punching a bag and snuggling with Nat. Steve is sitting in the dark with his phone. In the last week, he had been learning because of his free time, except for the time everyone spends stressing out because of the situation outside.

You get up from your bed with your still healing arm and make your way to the training room and spot the punching bag, you didn't really use your left arm because of the injury, so you aggressively kick the hell out of that bag. Nat limps to you with her supporting sticks, she refused to use them at first but when the pain in her leg first began, she started using them.

"Hey cutie" she greets, "Hey" you reply in a monotone voice, "What's up" she says but your mood doesn't change. You had this guilt in the back of your head, "What if you reached there faster and got the serum quicker, What. If?" Those were the only things running through your head.

"I'm going to take a shower" You say, still keeping your straight face on, Nat called out behind you but you didn't answer, you really wanted to stay away from everybody. You went up and turned on the lukewarm water, "J, turn off the water and inform me when the water is filled" You command and leave, not waiting for a response from the A.I.

You got to the kitchen and started making some mac and cheese in the microwave. It took you five minutes and you returned to your room, carrying a bowl of mac and cheese, goldfish crackers and a can of Dr. Pepper. You turned on the TV and opened up Netflix and binge-watched a series as you were mostly free.

J.A.R.V.I.S informs you of the bath, mid-episode so, you pick your ass up and relax into the warm bath. After a good hour, you change into a baggy shirt and shorts, you jump onto the bed again and eat your half finished bowl of Mac and cheese. You sit there for hours unknowingly, isolating yourself, you hear a knock, "Come in" You say, barely able to speak.

"Y/N, Can you come out already, you haven't eaten the whole day" Wanda pleads, "What do you mean, it's.... 8 pm and I came into my room 2 hours ago" You say, confused by Wanda's statement. "It's been a day Y/N, Nat's worried about you" She says, leaning on the door frame, "I- uh, didn't know" You say and immediately walk out.

"J, what's the date?" You ask, a bit scared that you missed a whole 26 hours, "19th October, 2036" you shake your head and suddenly feel quite sick, you hear Wanda "Y/N come on, let's go see Nat." you nod and follow her, your head still reeling from the revelation. You see Nat and she rushes to you, grasping you in a bone crushing hug.

"Mилашка, you fucking scared me." you just hold her not saying anything. "Mилашка what happened." Nat asks and you feel her heart rate rise. "I-I d-don't know." you stutter and burst into a sea of tears hiding your face in her chest. She doesn't say anything, instead holds you and runs her hands through your hair.

"It's okay, you just gotta ask for help Mилашка, we are all here." she comforts, Steve walks by and you show him a finger in a threatening way as for him to not ruin the moment once again. You pull away and Nat says "Have you eaten anything?", "Yes if you count mac and cheese, Goldfish crackers and Dr. Pepper from yesterday" You chuckle.

"Let's get you something to eat then" She says and walks with you to the kitchen while Wanda follows like a third wheel.
