Widows bite N.R

chapter before 9: Effortlessly Beautiful

It's been three months since I moved in, Lena, Bucky and I are really close, and Nat's been training me in combat and cardio three times a week. I still haven't gone back to garage, Trevor's worried about me but honestly, I'm doing ok, I have my car and new friends and I think this fresh start is good for me.

It's currently Sunday and Tony, Steve, Thor and Carol are on mission in Antarctica looking for some weapon frozen in ice and yes, some capcicle jokes were made, and now the rest of us are sitting in the living room having a game night. Right now, I'm sitting next to bucky listening to some plan to go clubbing or something I'm not entirely sure, as I'm a kinda focused on Nat right now. she's watching peter set up monopoly with no makeup on while braiding a strand of perfect hair, I honestly don't know how someone can be so effortlessly beautiful.

But of course, I'm brought out of my stare by an elbow to the ribs from buck followed by "it's rude to stare you know, it's creepy" he mumbles chuckling. Jackass

As the nights goes on, we are all sitting in a circle on the floor and to no one's surprise I'm no less distracted by Nat than I was at the start. We played a few games here and there its been surprising tame so far, but we are about to move on to Uno so you never know. Nat seems to have lost interest in the games and has gotten up to go downstairs saying 'she's going to do something actually interesting'.

We were mid-way through handing out the cards when I get a text,

Nat 😊:

-Meet me in the kitchen

                                                          Y/n:

                                                           -Ok I'll be down in a minute

What the hell would she want, I swear to God if she got her hair stuck in the blender again I'm taking a photo this time. I chuck my cards in the middle of the deck before getting up and saying, "I'm going to get a snack anyone want anything?" my question was met with "More soda please y/n" from peter and an odd request of hot sauce for Yelena's chips, at least I hope it was for her chips, she never specified.

I'm leaving the elevator hoping to find Nat stuck somewhere stupid, but I'm just met with the red head sat on the bench, no chaos or mess just the ethereal woman before me. I walked towards the fridge waiting for her to say anything but by the time I grabbed peters soda and Yelena's sauce she hadn't said a word, so I stand up and face her "Uh, you texted me?"

"Oh yeah, I was bored so I wanted to cook something then remembered what happened last time I tried to do that and figured I should call for help" she chuckled before adding "and I wanted company

"Uh, ok what do you want to eat?" I chuckled, as she went to scavenge the pantry before pulling out a cupcake mix. "Cupcakes" she says holding up the box victorious. "Alright you get the bowls, I'll get the mixer and the ingredients because I don't trust you to get the right ones." I say whilst she rolls her eyes but collects the bowls and aggressively places them on the counter all while holding direct eye contact. Kill me now. I make my way back with the rest of the ingredients as he empties the mix into the bowl.

"Can you pass me the milk?" I ask over my shoulder to the red head standing behind me, "Sure, y/n/n" she uttered sweetly. I paused at the nickname, it's not that I didn't like it, it's that I did. Now I want to preface this by saying what happened next was a complete accident, as she stepped around to place the milk on by the bowl, I was tapping the spoon in the mixture and I must of hit the spoon the wrong way or something because some of the flour flew through the air and hit Nat is the face.

Now was it a bit funny yes, but after the initial shock what happened sunk in. I looked over to her to see a shocked yet slightly amused Natasha with a shit eating smirk on her face. Fuck. Before I even had time to react, she'd grabbed a handful of flour and covered me in it, game on. I grabbed some more and chased her around the kitchen island, she thought I was going left so she went right and at the last second and shoved the powder down her shirt. We took turns battling it out until she managed to pin me against the counter before smudging the slightest bit across my nose and looking me directly in the eyes.

We stood in that position for a moment just taking in each other's facial features as if to remember every detail before Nat spoke up. "Can I kiss you". I was in shock for a moment before nodding slightly as she lent in. It sounds cringey so completely cliché but as our lips connected together perfectly it was as if fireworks exploded and I can honestly say I've never felt this way with someone before. HOLY SHIT NATASHA KISSED ME. As we part she had the softest smile across her face and her eyes were full of adoration, she spoke. "Well I should go shower, you've covered me in gluten" I nod then say

Well time skip and kiss what a chapter, leave any thoughts or suggestions.
