Romanoff & Maximoff

gesture, not love | Nat pt 2

Y/n pov

Nat has been distant, I tried calling her to hang out like we used to but she keeps on telling me she's busy or she's lazy so I can't do anything about that

I stayed at my apartment for a whole month, not wanting even a glimpse of the sun. I downloaded some new online games and even baked some pastries. I tend to do a lot of leisure things because I know if I get bored I'll just be sad

I sat in my living room putting The Big Bang Theory on and making it more background music while I sketched. I have this thing where I do portraits of people who left or people I can't have but in a way, my sketchbook will

"Hmm, why are you so hard to draw" I pouted trying to draw Natasha but I kept messing up her lips 

I'm planning on giving this to her just a token of appreciation and decided I'd put it in a frame and inside that frame is my confession. She'll only see it tho if she decides to remove the drawing from it

A few weeks had passed and my gift was done and it was time to go back to work. "Morning" Agent Hill greeted me "Good morning, ma'am" I smiled logging in

"Oh, congratulations on your last mission. You deserve that break" She nodded amused

"It was mostly Agent Romanoff" I chuckled

"Well, I think you're ok on your own. Don't see yourself as a sidekick, we're not even heroes"

I found Agent Hill the most approachable agent here and I appreciate her wisdom. I feel like I'm talking to a therapy book, a hot one to say the least

After I finished logging in I continued walking inside and went straight to the training room where Nat was according to the logs

She was training these inspiring agents while she gave me a smile seeing me at the door. "Hey, good morning" she greeted

"Morning, I got something for you" I gave her the gift

"Let's take a break, be back in 15 minutes" She waved her hand to the students and they all went outside

She opened the gift and I could see the amusement in her eyes "Did you draw this?" She innocently asked earning my nod

I was watching her face the whole time, it was the most precious thing ever when her phone notified "shoot...." she bit her lips

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah uhm...my girlfriend needs me right now. I have to go" She shakes her head still holding the frame before grabbing her gym bag

"I loved this tho, thank you...and oh, don't forget your sweater, it's already in my locker. Thank you for letting me borrow it. I'll see you later" she added going in my direction again to kiss my cheek before leaving.

Nat pov

I drove as fast as I could putting my things in the passenger seat. My girlfriend says she's currently in a cafe and she felt like a man was following her around.

As soon as I arrived I saw her alone on the corner "Where is he?" I worriedly asked

"Who's he? What?" She chuckled

"The Stalker" I huffed

"OH! That was a lie, I just want you here" She suddenly says

"I left the new students for this...I don't know if I should be mad or be like aww you want me to be here baby?" I shake my head with a smile

"The second one?" she pouts cutely

"Fine"

"What are you wearing? That doesn't suit you" she suddenly says making me look at my clothes
