We are lucky to have each other (Avengers - SamHill)

One-shot

     All of us may have listened to this too many times that we are so bored with but a fact is still a fact, Sam and Maria lead a pretty busy life. Sam is busy with the Avengers, Maria is busy with rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D. and her work at Stark Industries so everytime they can be with each other, they always enjoy it as much as possible.
     Well, even now...
- "When I talk about 'field work', this is not what I mean."
     Sam chuckles at his girlfriend's expression, partly impotent, partly mischevious. Right now, they're stuck in a magnificent field because of their broken car, they have called Tony but he will need several hours to come here.
- "It's a good time to relax, after all."
     He smiles and pulls her closer to him, the two walk along the the road forward, yellow streaks of sunlight spread along the corner of the sky along that road. He puts his face into her hair, he starts sniffing, hm...rose scent.
- "New shampoo?" - he whispers into her ear.
- "Rose scent, what do you think?" - she rubs her head.
- "You always smell nice, so whatever scent doesn't matter."
- "Hm... Smooth, Mr.Wilson." - she smirks.
- "I try, Ms.Hill." - he kisses her forehead.
     After a while, the couple sit down under a tree, the wind kisses on Sam's sleepy eyes, he yawns then leans on Maria's shoulder. She grabs his hand and look at him with an affectionate gaze, a really rare gaze with agent Hill. She loves these moments like this, only them and the quiteness. Looking at the sleepy man next to her, she asks herself what have she done in the previous life to deserve this oh-so-brilliant man, she doesn't know but it must be something great.
     Sam is...fine. He is warm, caring, always handle things with a calm attitude, Sam doesn't panic or scared, facing her mental breakdown or those nightmares that come every night. Sam always be there, pull her into his embrace, tell her that she has him and everything will be fine, she is strong and he believes him with his life.
     Maria used to think that she doesn't deserve to be loved. Growing up with an abusive father who tortured and isolated her, everything she has heard from that jerk's mouth is that she was a failure, a tramp, slut, bitch, the one that killed his dear wife,... It's not by chance that the day she left Chicago is the happiest day in her life (maybe it will become the second happiest one day but for now...) When she started working in the Marines Corp, S.H.I.E.L.D. and become the deputy-director eventually, that thought started to ingrained in her brain. People say she is emotionless, a heartless bitch, willing to put other agents in danger if it's guarantee the agency's benefits and secrets. She get used to all of this and doesn't give a fuck, they're right at some points, anyway.
     Just like that, she continues living, thinks that she will never be loved, but then Sam appeared in her life, everything have changed. Like a fresh spring rain watering her withered life, he makes her feel those she have never thought that she will be able to feel before. She have forgotten that she need love and cares to balance the violence surrounding around her, she's glad that Sam is here to remind her about that.
- "What are you thinking?" - Sam's soothing voice echoes in her ear.
- "Nothing much, I'm just thinking about how cute you are."
- "Of course I'm cute." - he laughs.
- "I'm so lucky to have you."
- "No, we are lucky to have each other."
     He kisses her gently on her lips, she cuddles him and puts her head on his chest. Their life is both so busy and tiring but now, right at this moment, the only Sam and Maria care about is that they're happy to be with each other.
     Maria smiles, Sam is right, they're lucky to have each other.
