Professor Romanoff's Angel

Natasha's POV

Audrey walks down the stairs behind me, Y/N follows after her.
"See! Let me in!" Grant says, pushing against me more.
"Natasha, it's okay." Audrey says to me. Grant stops pushing against me, clearly trying to put a nice front.

I see Clint's car pulling into the street, I watch him as he spots Grant and quickly starts making his way over to us. Audrey walks close to Grant.
"Did you sleep with Natasha?" Grant says in a whisper, Audrey shakes her head, though I'm still between them.
"Grant, I didn't do anything. I swear." She pleads,
"Then why did you run off?" He questions as Clint gets closer. I stay between them, as much as Audrey tries to move me away.

Clint approaches and taps Grant's shoulder.
"Can I help you?" Clint says, Grant turns instantly, taking his weight off me when he sees Clint's badge.
"Oh, officer, I was just visiting my friends."
"Then why aren't your friends letting you in?" Clint asks, then he looks over to me.
"Natasha, Merry Christmas."

Instantly, Grant's face drops and he looks back at Audrey.
"Honey, maybe we should go?" Grant says to Audrey. Clint gives me a look to which I shake my head.
"Maybe me and you should go." Clint says to Grant, pulling him away from our door.
"You're gonna arrest me?" Grant pulls away, "What for?"

"We'll put it down as harassment for the time being." Clint says,
"Harassment? I didn't do anything!" Grant pleads, Y/N walks behind me and puts her hand on my lower back, leaning on my shoulder to watch everything going down.

Clint takes his cuffs from his belt and attaches one to Grant's wrist, Grant pulls away and starts trying to move back from Clint.
"Get your hands off me!" He shouts at Clint while he tries to tell him his rights.
"Resisting arrest now too." Clint says.

Y/N's POV

Natasha turns around to Audrey and smiles softly.
"You can report him if you're ready, but if you're not, that's okay." She says, Audrey nods.
"I- uh, I don't know." She stutters.
"That's okay. Do you want to stay here with us?" I offer.
"No, no thank you." Audrey says, starting to gather her things from around the living room. "I'm going to go home, and uh, Officer...?" She turns to Natasha's friend.

"Clint Barton." He says, holding Grant still in cuffs.
"Right, could I take your number in case I want to call?" She asks, Clint nods and they exchange numbers.

Some time passes...

Natasha and I sit on the couch, finally having calmed down from the events of earlier. She stands up and walks over to our Christmas tree, she picks up a small box and throws it to me.
"Open it." She says, "I have no clue if you'll like it, but I thought it was fun."

I rip open the packaging to reveal an old looking video tape.
"What is this? Are you fifty?" I say jokingly, she laughs and sits down next to me.
"What do you think it is?" She says with a smirk. I have no clue what this could be.

"Do you even have a player for this?" I ask, she nods.
"I bought one last week for you." Natasha says, pointing to one of the other gifts under the tree. "It's over there."
"Okay, what's on the tape then?"
"Oh, it's the first time we had sex." She says casually, I turn to look at her with my jaw on the floor.

"You got me a literal sex tape?" I say, she nods again with a proud smile. "How did you even get this?"
"I have my ways." She hugs into me. "What did you get me?"
"Go open the gift and find out." I say, Natasha kisses my cheek and stands up again.

She walks over to the tree once again and picks up the gift that she knows she didn't wrap - it's fairly small and square. She sits next to me and starts feeling it. Eventually, she opens it up and takes a look at the box with travel sized toothpaste, moisturiser, hand soap and sunscreen.
"What?" She mutters, trying to seem grateful for a gift that clearly she isn't impressed with.

I lean in close to her face and sweep her hair away from her neck, I reach into my pocket and take out the hidden necklace. She smiles as I kiss her on the cheek and put the necklace on her.
"We are going to a couples resort for two weeks, just me, you and the sun." I say, she turns to look at me.

"How did you- Do you have a mirror, what's on the necklace?" She asks, I hold my phone in front of her as a mirror and she holds the necklace in her hands. I watch her eyes light up and her cheeks glow red as she eyes the heart necklace.
"But watch this..." I say, gently holding the necklace and moving it towards her other arrow necklace. They snap together with magnets, now appearing as though the arrow is piercing the heart.

Natasha instantly smiles,
"How did you do that?" She says through laughter.
"I took your necklace while you were in the shower so the guy could get the size reference, then I put it back before you noticed."
"Is this the same guy that made the ring?" She says, looking down to her engagement ring.
"Yeah, it is."

Natasha turns to me and climbs onto my lap, kissing me softly and then burying her face in my neck. She starts to kiss very gently.
"Merry Christmas, Natasha." I say quietly,
"Merry Christmas, Y/N" she replies.
