Marriage Story • Scarlett Johansson x Y/N

Promise

FEW HOURS LATER

"I had so much fun." Y/N said, smiling.

Scarlett squeezed Y/N's hand, smiling. "Me too, thank you for agreeing to this date." She said.

"Of course," Y/N said and stepped up to her parents' porch. She turned around and looked at Scarlett, "Maybe we can do that again..."

Scarlett smiles widely, "Definitely, my love."

Y/N didn't say anything and just pulled Scarlett closer, giving Scarlett a passionate kiss.

Scarlett was shocked, her heart started beating so fast. It's been so long since she last feel Y/N's lips on hers. She kisses back, holding Y/N by the waist.

Y/N smiles and slowly pulled away, opening her eyes.

Scarlett gulped as she opened her own eyes, she looked between Y/N's eyes and she swear, she's falling more and more in love with Y/N.

"Good night, Scarlett." Y/N whispered, smiling.

"G-Good night, my muse." Scarlett said.

Y/N smiles and turned around, approaching the door and opening it. She looked over her shoulder, giving Scarlett a smile before walking inside the house.

Scarlett took a deep breath, hand in her chest. "I love you, so much." She whispered, smiling. She turned around and started walking back to her car but she stopped when she heard the door opened and closed, she turned around to see Y/N's father.

Y/N's father walked towards Scarlett, "I'm gonna be straight to the point."

Confused, Scarlett just nodded her head.

"I know what's been going on with your marriage," Y/F/N said, "And I told you before, Scarlett. If you hurt my daughter, you'll deal with me."

"I'm doing my best to make—"

"No." Y/F/N said, interrupting Scarlett. "I didn't say anything because you made my daughter happy, no doubt. So I stayed quiet while you and Y/N tried fixing your marriage, but I think it's time you stop."

"I'm sorry but stop with what?" Scarlett asked.

"Seeing my daughter, talking to my daughter. I want you out of her life." Y/F/N said.

"That's not your decision to make, sir." Scarlett said, shaking her head. "It's Y/N's decision and she's still my wife."

"Divorce her, you already put her life in danger, Scarlett. I don't want that to happen again, so if you really love and care about her, then you will do what's best for her. No more heartaches for my daughter, please. She's been through a lot." Y/F/N said.

Scarlett clenched her jaw. She hates this, she knows deep down that Y/N's father was right. All she does is hurt Y/N.

"You know I'm right, Scarlett." Y/F/N said. "You know that."

FEW MOMENTS LATER

"You have to promise me something." Scarlett said, looking at her wife.

Y/N looked away from the movie they're watching and looked at Scarlett. "Promise you what, love?"

"That if there's a moment that you have to let me go, you will. If it will be good for you, okay?" Scarlett said.

Y/N immediately cried, "Shut up. What're you talking about? You already broke my heart with Natasha's death, stop this."

"No, you have to promise me." Scarlett said, "Baby, I need your words. Promise me that you will put yourself first, if it's needed to let me go, then you'll let me go." She said.

Y/N frowned, pouting. "I hate you."

"No, you don't." Scarlett said, smiling a little. "Now promise me, come on."

"Why are we even talking about this?" Y/N asked.

"Because I'm sure I can never let you go, and I can't promise you that I won't hurt you in the future—"

"Stop! You won't!" Y/N said, interrupting Scarlett.

"You know what I mean, my love. Come on, just promise me. Between you and me, you'll have to be strong to let me go because I can't." She said.

"That's so unfair," Y/N said. "We're soulmates, we're gonna work whatever it is."

"Of course," Scarlett said, smiling a little. "Just, promise me."

Annoyed, Y/N pouted. "Fine, I promise!"

Scarlett smiles, "Good."

Scarlett bit her lip, crying.

She made her wife promised that she should let go when it's needed, especially when it's for Y/N's own good.

She made Y/N promised that because she knows she can never do such thing but now it's up to her to make the decision.

And she knows she will put Y/N's well-being first. She didn't get to protect her wife the first time, so she thinks this time around, she can.

Even though it will absolutely ruin her.
