A/N: crap. Finals are here and I just took the math one. 60+ questions?! And we have to complete in four hours?! DX not fun at all.

Emerald eyes fluttered open when she heard the sound of a toaster. Groggily, the spy rubbed her eyes and slowly dragged herself out of the room.
With her sleepy eyes, she identified the cause of the sound to be Steve, who seemed to have plates stacked in a neat row next to him.

Natasha pushed herself up on the island counter and watched him work. Steve however, didn't know she was there and continued making whatever he was making.

The Russian inhaled the warm scent of the kitchen and sighed deeply. She thanked the fact that Fury had left them alone since her return. And while she wanted to get back in the action, Natasha was glad for the long-lasting peace.
But something unsettled her. Something strange, dark, and horribly twisted.
Her nightmares, they were back.
Natasha only had them when something bad was about to happen.
But what could be so bad after almost dying?
Natasha wasn't scared of death, and she'd avoided it many times as well. Steve was well...a different answer.
He felt the grief of losing loved ones before, and if her nightmare was as bad as she presumed, she couldn't let him go through that heartbreak ever again.

Natasha closed her eyes and started slouching slightly. Soon she felt a warm breath on her neck and opened her eyes.
"Well good morning to you too."
Steve didn't say anything, he just kissed her neck and continued working.
Natasha tipped her head curiously to one side and smiled.
"Doing anything important Stevie?"
He didn't answer.
"Aww, are you ignoring me because of last night?" She hopped off the counter and strode over to him.
She stood on her toes and looked over his shoulder. But he moved slightly and blocked her view.
Natasha gave the blond a pout and gave a small huff of annoyance.
Steve finally gave her a small glance and frowned at her.
"You're supposed to be asleep in bed."
"Oh really?" She latched on his arm so he couldn't move away.
"Yea, now get back in there so I can surprise you." To Natasha's surprise, he threw her over his shoulder and carried her back to their room.
He soon plopped her onto the bed and the redhead gave a amused smirk.
"Alright, I'll play your game, just make it fast. I'm hungry."
Natasha laid back into some pillows and waved him goodbye.
When he didn't move, Natasha put on her poker face and looked at him expectedly.
"Well? What are you waiting for?"
Steve just smile and left the room.
"You should let me draw you sometime." Steve called back.
"Maybe you will draw me, maybe."
----------------------------------------------
A/N: just so you know, Steve made pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream ;). They had a lovely breakfast btw. Oh and next chap will have Steve painting/drawing Nat and the chap after that will have action and drama and the Avengers will be there too.
Well, I got to study for the rest of my tests, so I'll return on Friday :D.

Happy Reading!
