In the end, it's only us (Natasha x reader

To have and to hold

Y/n pov

I can barely breathe as i see how they all rise from their seats to watch me walk in through the door, arm in arm with my brother. Which is ironic, considering what i am. But still a tear escapes my eye as i walk down the aisle, that's decorated in white and red roses. The red meaning love, beauty, courage and respect while the white represents purity, innocence and youthfulness. At least that's what Tony said it meant. Everyone is looking me up and down, admiring and wondering over my pantsuit. The silver decorating the white shoulderless top that's almost hidden under the blazer, going down in loose trousers. Nude high heels on my feet and i can say with certainty that if Bucky wasn't by my side, i would fall. Heels are not my style, nor are they comfortable. Hopefully, Tony has other shoes for later, if not i'm going barefoot. The smell of lavender fills my nose and the steady heartbeats of the guests and of my brother helps me to focus on not falling. Looking up to meet the two bridesmaids, Wanda on Natasha's side and Yelena, on mine. As i get to the altar i see Frigga, Loki and Thor's mother, stand there as the one to marry us. As Bucky gives her my hand a very earthly song starts to play. Flightless Bird, American Mouth. Played and sung by one of Asgards most famous singers. Estrid. I can admit that i may have had a crush on her when i first arrived here.

But everyone's attention switches from me to the woman who enters after me, in a beautiful, not from earth, dress. I can tell it's from here, from Asgard by the way it flows around her and the gold catches glimpses of the sun over the ceiling. The black pieces swirling around her. Easy to move in, also... easy access.

There is a certain glow in her emerald eyes as they meet mine. And i now realise why it felt so different when i gazed into Daniels. His eyes reflect the forest, her eyes reflect the shiniest of emeralds. Her hair is braided into a crown atop her heat together with a real crown, probably given to her by Loki by her side. It's all so magical as she walks down the aisle, almost enough to make me doubt that this is actually real.

"Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall, don't fall, please don't let me fall" i hear her repeat without moving her lips. I kinda like this telepathic thing we have here in Asgard, maybe it is strengthening our magic bond. We've always been easy to read to each other, maybe we could do this on Earth as well with enough practice. But the rambling stops as Loki's mouth moves quietly and discreetly, whispering 'relax' and 'you're not going to fall'. As they also come up to the altar where i'm standing, Loki gives me her hand so that i can lead her up to stand right in front of me. The silver in her eyes tells me that she also has the feeling and question if this is real.

"We have been gathered here today to witness the union between Y/n and Natasha." Frigga begins as everyone has been seated again. "Now i might not know a lot about Natasha but i do know Y/n" a small laugh is sired through the room as i repress mine in a smile. "She came here with a problem to be solved, thinking she didn't deserve a happy ending for what she is. Yet she still proceeded to change what she did not think she deserved. I don't know if she still thinks that way but i'm here to prove to the both of you that you both deserve this happy ending, or at least to let this be a happy beginning to a new chapter in life, a new adventure to go on together. Knowing the powerful love these two share, i know that in the end, it'll only be them. Now for the vows" she gestures for me to start and i fear my voice might not hold. But i still take hold of Natasha's hands as i start.

"I didn't think someone could ever love me after everything i've done, both on my own command and theirs. But somehow you still managed to see beyond the monster and see me. At first i thought it was all a dream, when i had met your eyes in the crowd at my wedding" and the small whispers tells me that people here didn't know that. "The only eyes who weren't out of pity, but curiosity and... something i still don't quite understand. And we've been separated by death more than once, distance for protection and so one. I had lost everything, a husband, a child, and my literal life. But now it's like i'm getting it all renewed. A white, a real family who won't die. And as we both know the importance of family, i brought a special guest with me" her gaze has a million questions but i just lean a little to the left to let her see who's standing behind me. Her sister. And more tears come to fall from her cheeks as she looks back to me, not sure if this is real or not again. "I can assure you, that this is real. But i don't know where life might take me, all i do know is that i want it to be by your side. I love you Natasha"

"When we first met i was very young, not yet fully grown" her voice starts to break but she hides it well to everyone other than me. "But you took us in and made sure that we were both loved from the moment you laid your eyes on us. And i will forever be grateful for however you managed to get my sister to our wedding. Because now everything can be perfect" another murmur through the crowd at the unknown facts getting thrown into our vows. "When i met your gaze at the wedding, i was young and foolish to think anything could even happen between us. Off-limits, but it didn't stop either of us. And when we were about to have it all, you left and let me believe that you were dead" a hint of pain lacing her words. "And i know Fury told you i found your file, i know that's why you disappeared again. But you come back every time you left, from the Red Room, from the guilt trip even though i sort of kidnapped you" humour now lacing her words and i let out a small laugh. "And even from death's door. But in all of that chaos i was only certain of one thing, my feelings towards you. Because no matter what, you'd find your way back to me. One way or another, this ends with us because i love you too Y/n"

"And now, for the rings" Frigga gestures for Wanda to give the ring to Natasha, and so she does. Now it's no longer just me holding my breath. She puts it half upon my finger before speaking. Its sides with infinity signs and red rubies between each and every of them.

"I Natasha, take thee Y/n, to be my wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward. For better or for worse, for richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish. From this day forward until worlds collide and we die together" and with those words, she puts the ring upon my finger. Then it's time for Yelena to grant me the ring and so she does, for me to do the same as Natasha.

"I Y/n, take thee Natasha, to be my wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward. For better or for worse, for richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish. From this hour and forward i will love you, until worlds break and we die together" and i put it on. The larger diamond seems smaller by the rubies on the sides and it almost looks like two rings. They're perfect for the two of us.

"Then i am more than delighted to pronounce you wife and wife, may your hearts beat as one for as long as you may walk the earth. Now you may seal it with a kiss" Frigga finishes and Natasha takes my head in her hands, crashing her lips to mine as people cheer. As we melt together for only a few seconds, i feel nothing but happiness, before parting and meeting everyone. Taking her hand in mine as we start to walk back down the aisle, but now as a married couple. I'm married to the love of my life, it can't get any better than this.
