Learning to Love Her

Forty

YOUR POV

So it's Nat's birthday and she's still asleep. I've managed to decorate the whole room without waking her up and all the presents are now on my side of the bed.

- y/n : Tasha, wake up my love

- Natasha : Hmm? Is everything okay?

- y/n : Everything is fine. Happy Birthday

- Natasha : Y/nnn

- y/n : I'm not making a big deal, I would do this for everyone's birthday but I don't sleep in their room

- Natasha : Balloons, nice

- y/n : There's a coffee next to you, just how you like it. And I've got a stack of pancakes with your favourite toppings

- Natasha : You're amazing but you didn't have to Y/n

- y/n : Of course I did. It's your birthday

- Natasha : Hmm. Thank you detka

Nat will probably get a little irritated that I got her gifts but I wasn't going to not get my girlfriend something for her birthday.

- y/n : These are for you

- Natasha : Y/n, no. You've done so much

- y/n : I wanted to get you some gifts. I think it's stuff you'll like and use. You're difficult to buy for

- Natasha : Y/n, this is so pretty

- y/n : I know you wear Clint's necklace and I didn't want to take away from that and this is not me proposing, it's a little too soon for that so I got you a ring. I totally get it if you don't want to wear it

- Natasha : Thank you so much. It's honestly so beautiful. I love it

- y/n : That's the main present, the other are just bits really

- Natasha : Is this that childish book you got really attached to?

- y/n : Don't call it childish. Evelyn and Celia's story is beautifully written. Just trust me, okay?

- Natasha : And what's with the seven husbands? Like come on, just settle for one

- y/n : Nat

- Natasha : I'll try it. I promise. Maybe you'll read some of it to me?

- y/n : Hmm, maybe

The idea of me and Nat cuddling while reading to each other sounds so fucking adorable, I want it.

- Natasha :You didn't have to

- y/n : You said you wanted it so it's a custom one

- Natasha : It's huge though

- y/n : You said you wanted a new mug, so I got you one. Just wait until you put a hot drink in it

So I may have gotten Natasha a mug that reveals a photo of us both when you pour hot liquids in it. It's a cute photo, Nat has it as her home screen. Her lock screen is plain black but her home screen is us.

- y/n : I know it's not a lot but I didn't want to go against your request of not making a huge deal

- Natasha : It's perfect, thank you so much

- y/n : No problem

- Natasha : Can I kiss you?

- y/n : After you brush your teeth

- Natasha : I'm already on it

Now is the right time to get the cake in and the candles lit. I'm doing it now because we're around everyone else later.

- Natasha : I was thinking, we can have a lot of sex toda-

- y/n : Happy birthday my love

- Natasha : What's this?

- y/n : A birthday cake. Blow out the candles and make a wish

- Natasha : I wish that-

- y/n : Shhh, you can't tell me or it won't come true

- Natasha : Oh, okay

I do want to know what Nat wished for so I can make it come true but I don't want to be nosey.

- Wanda : Hey, happy birthday

- y/n : I told Wands because I needed help baking the cake

- Wanda : I didn't get you much, just this

- Natasha : You didn't have to

- Wanda : I wanted to. It's not much, Y/n said you didn't want people to make a big deal

- Natasha : I love it Wanda. Thank you

Wanda got Nat a framed photo of the whole team. It was taken on Clint's last day and we're all laughing and hugging. In the centre of the photo is Clint and Nat laughing at something someone had said. I love the photo.

- y/n : What do you want to do today?

- Natasha : Hmm, maybe go on a walk and then have a lot of sex when we get home

- y/n : Well we have a dinner reservation at 8pm but the rest of the day is up to you

- Natasha : Hmm, well get your trainers on, we're going on a walk

- y/n : Where do you want to walk to?

- Natasha : Just around. I want to walk. I don't think I've ever visited the tourist attractions with the intention to actually sight see

- y/n : Really? Maria took me when we moved out. Come on, let me take you to go see New York

- Natasha : Okay

It's exhausted being a tourist. The walking and talking and reading, it's informative but exhausting. It's nice to be doing it with Nat though, it's been ages since I did anything like this.

- Natasha : I think I'm too tired for sex

- y/n : Want me to cancel the reservation?

- Natasha : No. God no. I need something to eat

- y/n : Alright. I'm going to shower

- Natasha : Help me up. Ugh, thank you

- y/n : What're you doing?

- Natasha : Having a shower with you

I'm not going to complain. As long as Nat isn't all over me and leaving hickeys on my neck then it's fine. It's a bit awkward if I go into a fancy restaurant wearing a dress and everyone knows what I did earlier.

- y/n : You look so beautiful

- Natasha : I don't really feel it.

- y/n : Nat, you are gorgeous

- Natasha : Mhm

- y/n : Look, face the mirror. I love everything about you. I love your humour, I love your hair, I love your body, I love how you care so much, I love how protective you are. I love you so much so even when you don't like yourself then at least I have enough love for the both of us

- Natasha : You're an idiot

- y/n : I'm your idiot

We're way too fucking cringey but I don't care.
