________________
You were concerned. Natasha hadn't been acting like herself the last couple of days and it had you worried. Normally she always wanted to see you and spend time together doing anything either of you could think of. The pair of you trained together but suddenly you were training alone since she changed her training times. You tried not to take it personally, even if it was hard not too since it seemed like she was avoiding you, keeping yourself busy and giving Natasha some space in the process. Knowing Natasha she'll come and talk to you when she's ready.

Natasha on the other hand felt guilty for avoiding you the last few days. Her feelings for you were overwhelming. The more she tried to suppress them the more they seemed to grow. The way you smiled at her, the way you would scrunch your nose when you laughed, your laugh don't get Natasha started on how your laugh is her favourite sound. Natasha didn't know how to tell you how she felt so she thought a few days away from you would help her get her head around how to tell you. But it was doing the opposite.

Each day spent apart, Natasha thought of new scenarios on how you would react when she told you. None of her scenarios ended positively. Which lead Natasha to think that telling you wasn't a good idea, that her feelings will go away eventually she just had to give it time away from you. Natasha didn't want to lose you for good, she didn't want you to hate her either for liking you. She definitely hoped you would return her feelings but every time she imagined that her thoughts would pull her into another scenario where you didn't return them and she would be made to feel embarrassed and ashamed for thinking that.

'Natasha, if you don't tell them then I will,' Yelena rolled her eyes while she listened to her sister go on about you non-stop without doing anything about it. You had called Yelena to talk to her about Natasha's odd behaviour so the younger of the two decided it would be best to give her sister a visit.

'It's not that simple Yelena. What if they doesn't feel the same? What if they hate me for telling them? What-'

'Natasha,' Yelena's slightly raised voice stopped Natasha from continuing to ramble on and let her mind run free with negativity, 'It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise they feel the same way. You can't keep avoiding them or you might lose your chance,' Yelena's words rang through Natasha's mind.

'But love is for-'

'No I won't let you finish that sentence. We both know that isn't true and you deserve happiness. If they are your happiness then fight for the love you know you deserve,' Yelena spent the rest of that day helping Natasha push her fears aside and create a plan on how she was going to tell you.

'Natty? It's early, is everything okay?' You rubbed your eyes, looking towards the window to realise the sun hadn't risen yet.

'I just have something I need to tell you,'

'Can it wait I'm tired and I've missed you,' You made grabbing hands at Natasha once you had laid back in bed. Natasha placed the flowers and teddy bear on the table next to your bed before climbing in next to you. You instantly cuddled into Natasha's side, laying your head on her chest. The sound of her heartbeat paired with her fingers massaging your scalp was lulling you back to sleep.

'I always thought that love is for suckers...yet I can't stop thinking about you,' Natasha whispered while looking down at you, she knew this wasn't the right time but if she didn't tell you now then she might not ever have the courage to tell you again, 'I think you're my favourite person in the entire world,' Any semblance of sleep you thought you had was long gone as you listened to Natasha pour her heart out, 'You've taught me so much in the small amount of time we've known each other. Everything has made me a better person and I'm finally ready to chase the love I deserve,'

'Nat, are you saying that you love me?' You leaned up on your elbow, tilting your head to the side hoping that was what Natasha meant.

'That's what I'm trying to say. I love you, Y/N/N and I understand if-'

'Come over here and kiss me,' Natasha was taken back by how forward you were but in an instant she connected your lips together. You shared a slow and passionate kiss, you wanted to show Natasha that you felt the same way.

'Does this mean you'll be my Valentine for today?' Natasha gestured to the small bear with a heart that read 'happy Valentine's Day' that she had got for you.

'I'll be your Valentine every day,'
