A/N: well, here it is.

She clutched Liho harder, her cat shifting in annoyance. The blank, lonely stare in Steve's eyes were killing her, tearing her up one by one. Bit by bit. Her heart shattered every heartbeat he did not respond.
"Where were you." He whispered, staring down at the hard tiled floor.
Natasha let Liho escape her grasp as she shuffled over to Steve. "I was with Stark."
His arms grasped her elbows as they hung tight to her frame, and he pulled her close to him, his head resting in the crook of her neck.
"I thought you were gone. Taken to the Raft for helping us." He croaked, his voice breaking with effort.
"He protected me."
"And I couldn't?"
Steve moved his head out from her neck, her own pain reflecting in his eyes.
"It wasn't like that Steve. He was saving me from the Raft."
He sucked in a breath, and his eyes closed. "We would've done too. I would've. If I had known."
She placed his large hand on her cheek, relishing the warmth from it. "You wouldn't have known."
Steve stared pleadingly in her eyes. "Are you staying now?"
Natasha shook her head. "Only for a few weeks. Wakanda will become a spot to look for me in no time. I have to keep you safe."
"I'm not letting you go again!" He held her arm tighter, and removed his hand from her cheek.
"It isn't your choice! It isn't mine either. They're hunting me down." She hissed.
Steve stared at eye level with her, his grasp becoming softer. His voice was stern and strong.
"The King won't let it happen."
She sighed and turned away. "He'll have to at some point."
He shook his head with disdain. "A few weeks Nat. That's all I'm asking for."
Steve clasped her hands in his own; she stared up at him, the light reflecting on her eyes.
Brushing back a strand of unkept red hair, he cupped a hand behind her head, bringing her forward. Their lips met and eyes closed, and passion exploded. Her legs wrapped around his torso as his tongue explored her mouth. Slowly but surely he was able to carry her up the three flight of stairs he came down on, all while still kissing her. When they finally reached his room, clothes were lost as they drifted into a world of their own.

By the morning the pair laid sweat slicked and tangled in sheets. Natasha's arms and legs draped over Steve's body as she curled up into him, his arm wrapped around the small of her back. Both were content and happy just laying there together at last, enjoying the lazy morning. When Steve woke up, he was greeted to a sleeping Natasha, with her hair all tangled around her face and her body against his chest. It was beautiful. She mewled when he moved them both into a better position, her on his chest with the sheet covering her nakedness.
He propped up the pillows behind him and leaned himself against the headboard. Her bare chest covering his own, and Natasha's eyes still closed.
"Darling," he whispered. "The others are already up."
She mewled again and opened her eyes just to narrow them seconds later.
"Clint's gonna have a nice surprise when he sees Laura and the kids." Natasha groaned. Her arms came out to stretch themselves as she draped them back around his torso. Steve slowly made his way out of the bed and her limbs, heading towards the dresser where his clothes were. Natasha hummed her delight at seeing him get dressed. "Your clothes are still here on the floor Nat."
She smirked and slowly got out of bed, picking up her panties and shrugging them on before stealing Steve's shirt from last night.
Arms came around to hold her as his face started pressing small kisses to the column of her throat. "I'm glad you're staying." He said.
Natasha's demeanor shifted instantly, and for a second she was tense. "Yeah, me too." She said after awhile.
He lead her outside the room and towards the lobby, where the sounds of others making breakfast was quite apparent. "Wait," she quickly said and turned around to face Steve. "We can't just not address the elephant in the room."
Steve narrowed his eyes and gave her a hard stare. "I'm not addressing it because I'd like to be happy for once Nat." He growled through clenched teeth.
"Steve, the longest I can stay is four weeks, a month at best." Natasha told him gently, as she sealed their lips together for a quick kiss.
That brightened him almost immediately, yet somewhere in his mind those worries didn't leave for good.
Sam was the first to greet them. "Hey everyone, look who's decided to grace us with her presence!" He joked as he bowed deeply to Natasha.
She gave him a small smile and rolled her eyes. In the corner she saw Clint laughing with Laura, and the kids cooking pancakes with Vision and Wanda.
"Glad to see Clint happy as well." She told Steve. He nodded and grabbed two bowls of pre made oatmeal for them.
"You know Nat," he started. "I'd like to take you out on a tour of Wakanda if that's alright with you."
Natasha paused midway through her meal and gave him a quizzical look. "You asking me out on a date Rogers?" She quipped.
A hand came to scratch nervously behind his head. "You caught me. Yes, I am asking you out."
She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "You dork."
