For the romantic dialogue prompt 11. "Don't make me say it. I can't say the words." Nat is in love with reader but doesn't want to say it because she doesn't think reader will feel the same/she's insecure and doesn't think she deserves reader. Ofc reader loves Nat (who wouldn't?) and they get together and live happily ever after. lots of hurt/comfort
Natashas heart hammers in her chest as she runs down the compound's various hallways. The quinjet landed only minutes ago so she's racing to make it to the med bay where she knows the team, and therefore you will be.
As she enters through the double doors the sound of Peter sniffling coupled with the crestfallen looks on Tony and Clints faces tell her all her worst fears are coming true, and she almost doesn't want to face that. But she knows she has to. If not for herself, then for you. She can be strong for you.
"How- how is she?"
Tony lowers his gaze, "Not good. She got hit really hard out there."
"We honestly didn't think we'd get her back in time. She's very lucky." Clint admits, looking at Nat in a way the billionaire had never seen before. If he had to describe it he'd say it was a mix of stern disappointment yet hopeful encouragement. How a person can combine those looks is beyond him, but he's sure it's some sort of signal. A way for the two spies to communicate without words like they so often do.
"Y/ns strong." the redhead proclaims, trying to calm herself, "She'll be ok."
Clint looks away from her then too and she can feel her stomach drop and her mouth go dry at his lack of agreement and comfort. She swallows harshly, desperate to keep her tears at bay. If she doesn't cry then she can act like this doesn't affect her, like none of this is really happening. You aren't in some operating room right now hanging on against the odds, fighting for your life. She's not head over heels in love with you, desperate to be yours and be by your side forever...But you are, and she is.
She very much is, and right now she can't help but feel like an absolute moron. Despite her fears and insecurities she should have risked it. Maybe then she would have had time with you. To hold you, to cherish and love you and get the same from you in return. But now...no, no she can't think like that. You'll be ok. You have to be, because if you're not, then she won't be.
"I'm so sorry Miss Romanoff" Peter whimpers, and her head swivels to look at him, "I really messed up. Y/ns hurt because of me....I'm so so sorry"
Natasha doesn't know what happened out there, but she knows your affinity for the boy, how you became attached to him nearly the second Tony brought him in. So much so that your protectiveness for him rivals the fatherly instincts the billionaire himself has for the young hero. And she knows Peter, she's been training him, so she knows him better than he even thinks she does. He doesn't always watch his six and he would never hurt a teammate on purpose, least of all you. This was an accident. Sometimes missions just went wrong, it wasn't anyone's fault but the enemies and she knows you wouldn't want Peter to be blaming himself for this.
"Malen'kiy pauk(little spider), Y/n would do anything to keep you safe. Whatever happened was not your fault, because you've done nothing wrong."
Faster than humanly possible Peter launches himself into her arms, and as his head comes to rest against her shoulder she finally lets her resolve crumble. Hot tears run down her cheeks faster than she ever thought imaginable, and she hopes Peter can't feel the sheer volume that's landing against his neck, though she knows he wouldn't say anything about it even if he did.
"She's hurt really bad" Peter whimpers out through his sobs, "She might be dying"
Natasha desperately shakes her head, "No. She'll pull through."
