When you Awoke{Romanogers}

Ch18

A/N: a newly rewritten, chapter 18.
----------------------------------------------
Natasha fell face first on her bed and groaned into the sheets.
Steve sat next to her and just smiled; a playful spark in his eyes made Natasha just smile at him as well.
The redhead flipped herself onto her back and stared at the ceiling, a look of daydreaming could be seen.
Steve ran his fingers lightly through her auburn hair, untangling the knots that came with it.
Natasha hummed her approval of what he was doing and her eyes flickered over to stare at his.
"I love it when we have the time to just relax, it's quite comforting."
Steve smiled again and stopped playing with her hair. "I guess it is pretty nice."
Natasha sat up and scooted closer to him; leaning her head into the crook of his neck and sighed.
A small meow sounded below them and Natasha looked over the edge of the bed to see a black and white cat staring at them angrily.
Natasha gave a small chuckle and picked up the tiny creature.
"Oh Scooter, I'm sorry for not paying you enough attention." Natasha softly scratched the cat behind the ears.
Steve backed away a bit when Scooter turned his head to look at him.
Natasha noticed and handed Steve Scooter.
"Oh come on Steve, he's just a kitten."
"A kitten enhanced by Shield tech. I'm not touching this thing."
Natasha gave him a small pout and Scooter whined from the loss of attention.
"Steve, Scooter was only protecting me, he's usually very friendly. If you stroke him behind the ear, you'll both be best friends instantly."
Steve gave a losing sigh and nodded.
"Alright, if you say so."
Natasha's eyes brightened and she kissed him on the cheek lightly.
"That's the spirit Steve!"
Scooter gave one more cry for attention and Steve slowly scratched him behind the ears to calm him down.
Surprisingly, Scooter purred loudly and Steve started laughing.
"He likes me, he really likes me."
Natasha smiled and gave him another kiss. "That he does, now give me my cat back." She reached over and grabbed the kitten from Steve and held him protectively to her chest.
Steve pouted like a child but his eyes held a playful glint to them.
"My cat." Natasha stuck her tongue out at him and Steve looked shocked.
Steve wrapped his arm around her and held Natasha tightly,"No, he's our cat now."
Natasha quirked a eyebrow at him but Steve said nothing else and just kissed her temple lightly before getting up and heading into the bathroom.

A/N: this was one of the many chapters I had to rewrite for several reasons:
•I can write very mature stuff when I want to but the 1.0 version of this chapter didn't need mature things
•bad writing; ever felt like something didn't flow right?
•just why did I try to use inappropriate humor when this isn't the story for it. At the time I thought it made sense, now that I've improved Im starting to see the small errors or flaws in my work, and it's not just spelling mistakes(I have my beta reader _toaster_cat_ for that).
Anyway, all flaws aside, I felt like this just had to be rewritten, expect more chapters to be rewritten soon, but not that soon.

Happy Reading!
