I didn't want you to be, Alone

Part 3

(Timeline: Sometime after civil war)

Natasha

Steve, Sam and I were on the run, together, and I was so excited.

"I think I need a break guys" Sam said after our next mission, "I will join you later"

"Fine" Steve said, and we both hugged him, goodbye.

"So, where to now? " I asked him.

"Let me see" he took out his phone and checked something, "We need to go to India, there are some matters that need our attention "

"Who tells you about all this? " I asked him, as we both got in pilot seats.

"Sharon" he said, as a matter of fact.

"Sharon?!! " I asked shocked, "You are in touch with her, still? "

"Yeah, she is still helping us. She was clever enough to get her matters settled with Ross, so we're good" Steve said.

"Steve Rogers!!! Are you? Are you two in a relationship, that I don't know about? " I asked him, angry now.

"Relationship? No! Nat, I am on the run" he said

"There are long distance relationships" I said.

"Is this what?.. Wait, what if she might be.. No!! " he was confused now.

"What do you mean? " I was losing my cool, and I had no idea why.

"No, I just kissed her once.. Due to.. She did us a lot of favors" he said.

"You what?!!! " I put the quinjet on auto pilot and faced him in anger, making him face me.

"What?! " he was even more confused.

"You kissed her? " I asked, I felt so angry, I wanted to punch him in his perfect face, "When?! "

"Before the fight at the airport, when she got us our stuff" he stated.

"And I was kept in dark for so long? " I asked.

"Nat? It was just a thank you kiss" he said.

"Well, I have done you more favors then all of then combined, I don't remember getting a kiss" I said rolling my eyes.

"You have kissed me" he said, "and you didn't like it "

"I never said that" I said.

"Well, you wanted me to get practice, and you were the one pushing me to Sharon " he said, standing up now, when I walked to the backside.

"I was, that was before, Steve, I.. You didn't tell me" what the hell was wrong with me?, "Are you in a relationship with her or not? "

"No! " He said, freaking out.

"Okay, good" I said and faced the other side. There was some silence.

"Nat? Are you? Jealous? " he asked.

"Guessed it pretty early" I said, sarcastically.

"What?! Nat? Why? You? You kissed Banner!!! " he yell.

I turned to face him, "What?! "

"Natasha! You! You kissed Banner, you wanted to run away with him. I didn't judge you, I was trying to be happy for you" he said.

"So? You knew, I didn't hide it from you, you knew everything Steve. " I said, not getting his point.

"But you are jealous!! You can kiss Banner and I can't? " he asked.

"Steve! What the? I am not jealous " I said.

"Yes, you are" he said.

"Shut up!! Why would I be jealous? I pushed you, myself" I said stepping close to him. But, I might be jealous, I wasn't sure.

"Nat!! I know when you lie to me. Your soy tactics, don't work on me. So stop lying. I know you, why? " he asked.

"Steven Grant Rogers!! I am not jealous that you kissed her as a favor but never me, I am not jealous that you are still in touch with her, I am just mad that she is so important that you didn't even tell me" I yell.

"Nat!! You are jealous that I kissed her for.. You are jealous because I.. " He kept blabbering.

"For God's sake, I am not jealous. Go get married to her, I won't care" I said.

"You really won't? " Steve raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I won't " I said.

"Why did you come to me at Peggy's funeral? I wasn't alone. I had Sam" he said.

"I didn't want.. " I was shut.

"Why did you let us go? Why are you with me and not on your own as always, why?  Why now? You wanted me to go to Sharon and yourself to Banner, but now? Nat? You are jealous " he spoke calmly, trying to make a point out of his nonsense.

"Steve!! I am not jealous. I am way over Bruce. It was a mistake. It was silly and childish, so was pushing you to Sharon. I finally grew up. I didn't want you to be alone or myself, so I" but he shut me before I could speak anymore.

He pulled me to himself, grabbing my waist, and his fingers went into my hair, and his lips crushed mine. And all of this happened too quickly, all of a sudden, while I talked.

His lips were on mine, and in shock my lips parted, and his tongue entered mine. For a second I was too shocked to respond. Until he sucked on my lower lip and his tongue brushed mine. But before I could register it, he pulled back.

"You still uncomfortable? " he asked, with a smirk. And I was shocked for life.

He put his hand on my cheek, "Nat? You just have to say you love me" he said, "It doesn't have to be this complicated "

I looked at him in anger, tears in my eyes, "Love is for children, Steve. And I am not worth you" I told him and pushing him away, I walked back to the pilot seats and took my position.

Steve didn't say a word, he got back in his seat and let it all sink.

Was it that obvious? Did I? I shouldn't have. How can I be so stupid? So overwhelmed that I let my cover fall. How can the famous black widow be caught?

I closed my eyes and swallowed my tears.

"Who do you want me to be? " he asked after a while.

"A friend" I said, with a heavy voice.

"That's the mistake I made, Nat" we both looked at each other, "We are much more then just, friends" he said.

****
