Dancing Under The Stars

5

She was miserable. She is miserable. How did her life, okay she's exaggerating a bit. How did her best friend turn to a complete stranger in a few days? How could she avoid him like that? It's been five days, and they both avoided each other like there was a plague.

Clint went back to Laura and her farm, Wanda was still focusing on Pietro's funeral, and Vision's with Wanda. Sam's been visiting his sister. Tony's on holiday with Pepper. Rhodes is gone for family business. So that basically left her and Steve at the compound.

Before the fight, they both are working normally for SHEILD, hoping to wipe out all HYDRA's agents off SHEILD. After they had the fight, things change, they no longer see each other. She started to have more nightmares frequently. 

Today was definitely one of the days.

Dream

"Do not hesitate to kill Natalia. It is a weakness." Ivan snarled at her, whipping her once more. Natasha screamed in pain, she straightened herself again. Ivan pulled the sack off the prisoner's head. 

She gasped.

Steve.

"Kill him Natalia."

Natasha whimpered, "No."

Ivan's eyes widened twice it's size. 

" I SAID, shoot him."

Bang.

Natasha yelled every amount of pain visible in her voice. 

"No, no, STOP!"

Dream end

A pair of strong arms was shaking her, she bolted awake, cold sweat on her face. She looked up. Green meets blue. "It's fine, I'll go." Steve stood up from her bed, forcing a fake smile, and started to leave. Natasha almost ran, and wrapped her arms around his torso.

Steve's eyes widened for a second and hugged her back, breathing into her hair. The familiar lemon soap scent was in her hair, he sighed, he didn't realized he had missed her, so damn much. 

"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry." She sobbed endlessly, damn the vulnerable side of her. Steve stroked Natasha's hair, "No, I'm sorry too. " he fought back his tears, which were threatening to fall. She looked up, "Can you forgive me? Please?" Steve felt his stomach flutter, his heart racing, "Yes, definitely." 

Natasha laughed. An actual laugh, she hadn't had in days, or weeks. She hugged him tighter.

"I missed you so fucking much." 

"Language." He chuckled softly. His charming smile made Natasha's heart bubble with excitement. "You know, I was too scared to show you the vulnerable side of me... I was afraid that... That you'd abandon me... Hell, an avenger, being this weak, I wasn't sure what you'd do." Natasha confessed.

Steve forced her to meet his eyes. "Everybody have a vulnerable side, everybody have a weakness, even me." He could see her eyes brightened a lot, "I forgot how good you are at giving speeches." she quietly laugh. A small tinkering sound that would make Steve smile for days. 

She softly let go of Steve. "You wanna go out and eat an actual proper lunch?" Steve could not stop the stupid grin off his face. "So... I'm forgiven, right?" Natasha rolled her eyes at him playfully, "Yes. Took you long enough to figure out."
