The next morning Natasha woke up with an awful headache. "Shit..." she groaned as she rolled over onto her side.

She saw that Clara was not next to her. Natasha sat up and slightly confused. The room was too bright for her so she scrambled over to the window and closed the curtains.

"Clara?" Natasha called out as she looks around. She wasn't there...

"Where did she possibly go?" Natasha said as she looked at the time. It was only 10 am. She sighed and started to try and make herself some breakfast when the door flung open.

Clara had some boxes in hand. "Honey!" Clara says.

"Huh- lemme help you!" Natasha helps her with some of the boxes. "You okay?" Natahsa asked her due to her caught in the headlights look.

"I-um... I'm good! Let me make you some breakfast. I wasn't anticipating you being awake so early! I was going to make you lunch." Clara said as she took her jacket off and hung it up.

"I mean... it's 10 am." Natasha said.

Clara nearly fell over. "Oh! Shoot! I have an appointment- I need to go-" Clara looked at Natasha.

"I will be back around 2 o'clock. I'm so sorry I have to leave you like this- I love you!" Clara kissed her and dashed.

Natasha stood there stunned. "I.... Okay. I'll make some ramen then."

Natasha continued her day. She went to the gym, did a zoom interview, did another interview, and then was finally out having lunch with Kylo.

"Guess what Anthony told me the other day!" Kylo said.

"What did he tell you?" Natasha said as she sipped her drink.

"He said that he had a dream of us as superheroes!" He said as he noticed Natasha zoning out slightly.

"Hello? Earth to Natasha?" He said as he waved his hands in front of her. She snapped back. "Oh sorry..."

"You better be thinking of something either more concerning or more interesting than my superhero story." He said with a chuckle.

Natasha chuckled and sighed softly. "I'm just thinking about Clara. She's been acting a bit weird as of late. That's all."

"Weird? Oh so?" Kylo asked as their food got served.

"Well, she left this morning. Came back with boxes, and was just in a rush. She had a sudden like meeting, and I haven't seen or heard from her." She said as she noticed the smallest ever trace of a smile on kylos face.

"Dang... that is weird. Well, I don't know what to tell you." He said as he looked at her. Natasha squinted at him.

"What..."

"You know something." She said.

"I- what?! No I don't!" He said with a chuckle. She pointed at him. "Yes you do!"

"Natasha if I knew anything I would've told you." He said seriously. She frowned and sighed. "Fine..."

"Eat your lunch, Paloma." Kylo said. Natasha just nodded and continued to eat.

Kylo dropped Natasha off at her hotel room. It was around 4 o'clock at this time. She sighed as she stepped in and saw a box on the counter with her name on it.

Natasha raised a brow and held the little letter.

A nice outfit for a nice date - c

Natasha just smiled and softly. And took it to the bathroom to put on. It was a light sage green top with brown pants, brown heels, and some jewelry to match.

"Damn this is nice." Natasha said as she pulled her hair up into a little ponytail.

She walked out with the box and saw Clara standing there. She was in a sage green dress, her hair in a messy bun, and she was wearing brown flats.

"Oh you look so beautiful." Natasha said as she walked over and took her hands into hers. Clara blushed a bit and smiled.

"Oh thank you lovely. You look dashing..." she said as she looked her up and down and sighed. It was a sigh of relief in a way.

"Ready for our date?" Clara said with a smile.

"Of course I am." Natasha said with a chuckle. "Always."

Somehow, Natasha ended up blindfolded? And Natasha was not having it. "Clara, am I being executed?"

"Oh goodness. So dramatic." Clara said as she helped Natasha down some steps. "I am not dramatic." Natasha said.

"Yes you are." Clara said as she brought her to a stop. Clara sounded like she took a deep breath.

She removed the blind fold, revealing a beautiful garden lit up with fairy lights. Natasha's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh- this is gorgeous Clara!" Natasha said looking at her with excitement.

"It took me a few hours to decorate." Clara said as she watched Natasha explore the beautiful garden.

Natasha turned and looked at Clara who was standing there looking nervous. "You okay?" Natasha asked. Clara stepped towards her and took her hands into her.

"Natasha... do you want to know who I want to spend my entire life with?" Clara said as her voice got shaky. Natasha looked at her and squeezed her hands.

"Of course, but I think in have an idea." Natasha says but then paused when she saw Clara get down on a knee.

Natasha felt everything slow down and it's just them two in the world. Clara looked at her. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You make me so happy, you make me feel free, you just make everything better. So..."

Clara pulled out a small box. "Be my wife?"

Natasha just started to cry. She nodded her head so quickly. She'd never thought she'd be this lucky.

Clara slid the diamond ring onto her ring and stood up. Natasha pulled her into a kiss. Clara teared up as she kissed her back.

The two felt so alive now. They found each other years ago, and now got to spend the rest of their time on this earth together.

Natasha broke the kiss and put her head against Claras. Clara met her eyes. "My darling fiancé..." Clara said.

Natasha just chuckled and met her gaze.

"My future wife."
