Steve Rogers x Natasha Romanoff

Part 2

Steve’s POV

We were watching a movie when Clint and Tony started arguing and being obnoxiously loud.
I sighed and looked at Nat who was sitting in the couch with a small smirk on her face while Clint was putting his arm around her shoulder. Suddenly I felt this strange feeling in my chest. I clenched my fists and looked away before looking back at them when I heard Nat snicker.

What is this feeling? It feels like I hate them, like I’m angry at them… Clint particularly…  But why?  They are both my comrades, dear friends of mine… Why am I feeling like this?

,,Hey Steve?“

I jumped a little startled, when a concerned female voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned and looked at Wanda.

,,H-huh? Yes, Wanda?”

,,What’s wrong? You seem distracted.. and quite tense if I may add.“ she said smiling sympathetically while looking at my tightly clenched fists.

,,It’s just… nothing. Nothing important. Really, I’m fine.” I forced a smile and pretended to watch the movie in order to avoid further questioning from the young telekinetic brunette, but at that moment the closing credits started rolling.

,,Great…“ I murmured under my breath.I noticed that everyone slowly started heading their own way, so I got up as well and started walking away. But I stopped when I felt Wanda grab my hand. I turned around to face her and raised my eyebrow in confusion.

,,Steve, I know that something’s bothering you. I can sense it.” she said, her voice full of empathy.

I looked away and frowned a bit. I was never a person to lie. I heard her sigh and returned my gaze to her eyes.

,,Look. I’m not going to push you to tell me. But if you need someone to talk to, just know that I’m there for you. That’s the least I can do.“ she smiled kindly.

,,Thank you, Wanda. I’ll keep that in mind” I smiled squeezing her shoulder lightly and then headed to the lab to find Tony.

As much as I hated asking him for advice, I felt like this time he could help me figure out what this strange feeling was.
