"Would it be too weird to wear my Avengers shirt?" I rummaged through my suitcase as Chris sat on the edge of the bed talking to someone on his phone. I was pretty sure it was Sebastian...

"Seb says do it Nat..." I smiled to myself, pulling the dark grey shirt emblazoned with the Avengers logo from the second film out from the bottom of my suitcase and holding it out in front of myself. I moved to enter the bathroom to get changed and give myself a little privacy, but Chris was suddenly standing in the doorway, his hand blocking my way. I went to open my mouth, to ask what he was doing, but Chris stopped me by placing his finger gently against my lips. He began tracing over them, his fingers moving to the back of my neck as he leaned down and placed his lips roughly on mine, an instant shiver traveling over my entire body as my hands moved up to his chest. He backed me up to the bed, our lips never once losing contact... laying me down on top of the covers before crawling over me and straddling my waist with his "I thought maybe we could uh, continue what we were doing when Sebastian interrupted us the other day?" Chris ran his tongue across his lips, his eyes darkening when I nodded at him, my hands instantly moving to remove the shirt that he was wearing. My fingers trembled against his bare chest, my mind not quite wanting to accept that this was actually about to happen, that I had finally accepted someone else's love "Everything alright?" Chris pulled away, resting his hands on either side of my head as he stared down at me.

"Yeah... yeah of course... I'm just... I was just thinking of something..." He moved so he was beside me, propped up on his left arm, his right hand tracing delicately across my bare skin "I... I love you Chris..." My hands trembled against my sides, nervousness completely overwhelming my body. I couldn't believe I'd just let that phrase slip... not because it wasn't true, it absolutely was... but because I was worried at how he might react...

"I love you too Natalie." He moved so he was straddling my waist, his hands delicately exploring my entire upper body until they reached my face. Chris softly moved a stray piece of hair out of my eyes, a smirk crossing his face before he leaned down and roughly pushed his lips against mine... only pulling away when my own fingers lightly tugged at his hair "I love you so much..."

"Jeremy, this is Natalie. Be nice." Jeremy laughed under his breath as he wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug, Chris giving me a small smile before he disappeared around a corner to get ready.

"So. You're this girl Chris wouldn't shut up about..." Jeremy muttered into my ear before pulling away from the hug, his kind eyes seeming to study me and he gave a small nod of approval before letting his left hand rest on my shoulder "You're so much more beautiful than I imagined..." I felt my face flushing red at his compliment, I was so not used to this sort of attention, from anyone but Chris of course...

"Uh... thanks. Sorry..." A wide smirk crossed over his face as I struggled to form a complete sentence, and I even went so far as to pull away from him, to attempt to distance myself from what was causing the embarrassment.

"Sorry... I didn't mean to overstep. Chris... well, he told me you were..."

"I'm shy... that's the nicest way to put it." I shrugged, shuffling my feet around on the ground, my hands fidgeting with each other, my eyes closing as images from last night danced through my mind "Don't take it personally..." I took a deep breath before looking back up at him, at someone I'd secretly admired for... years "It's nice to finally meet you Jeremy. Don't tell Chris... but I like Hawkeye the most..." A look of pure relief, followed by the widest grin I had ever seen on anyone in my life crossed over his face and he wrapped his arms around me in an even tighter hug than before.

"Come on. I'm gonna show you around the rest of the set, at least until they make us leave." Jeremy grabbed onto my hand and gently pulled me towards the area where the rest of the cast was standing.

"Was it everything you imagined?" Chris jumped up onto the bed, nuzzling himself into my neck, his hand finding its way underneath the bottom of my shirt "Everyone loved you Nat... Scarlet wouldn't stop asking when you two could hang out..." His lips lightly brushed against my neck, causing a shiver to travel down my spine and I shifted so I was even closer to him.

"You have no idea how much today meant to me Chris... all those years I looked to not only you, but everyone... for comfort..." I trailed off, knowing that if I continued I may not be able to stop myself from completely breaking down. That dark part of me was something I hadn't shared with Chris yet, I'd hinted at it, sure, but had always managed to skirt around the finer details... and I had even somehow managed to hide my scars... or at least he had chosen not to mention them...
