Chapter 10: In my arms

*Steve's point of view*

"What's up?" I ask, once are on the couch, knowing already what was up. I could hear every word that was said over and, to be honest, I'm pissed that it's weird to kiss a 100 year old man that looks about 25!
"Are you deaf?" She asks, a small smile begins to grow but shrinks as she looks up at me. She looks angry but not at me, she looks stressed, irritated.
"No, but I am an '100 year old man' so my hearing is not good as i lost my hearing aid in the shower." She looks up at me and smiles. I love it when she smiles.
"Well, but your pretty fit for 100, though" Her eyes glide over my body, please, please can she like me.
"Bruce thinks there is something going on between us." She looks down at the coffee table, almost in embarrassment. But I want to know what is going on between us because this is not a normal 'friendship' and the tension between us always grew every second we were in eachothers presence.
"Is there something going on between us?" I said it, I actually said it! She looks at me. I'm lost in her eyes, again. I think I just get lost in her perfection, she may think it's broken, but I know she is pure perfection. Every detail about her personality, her habits, her stunning looks. She leaves me speechless.

*Natasha's point of view*

"Is there something going on between us?" He asks. His eyes show a range of emotions. Guilt, worry, stress, pain and, the one that shocked me the most, hope. Tears were streaming down our faces and he can steal feel hope. But what is he hoping for, for me not to be in pain? For him not to be crying? Or for us to be together? Does he want to be with me? I want to be with him. I want to be with Steve Rogers. But did he want the same? Time to find out.

I put my hand on his soft cheek, he brought his hand up and held it up to his cheek, his hand on top of mine. I make a move. I lean in and hope for the best. Our lips locked and I could tell he was surprised. The passion I tried to include showed and I looked so eager to kiss him and be with him. But he pushed me away? He didn't want me back. At least I got to know what he was like. The freedom i felt in those 3 seconds was not like any I have ever experienced.

*Steve's point of view*

She kissed me. It was so passionate! But I pushed her away to guarantee that's what she wanted. Not just a 'I just had an argument with my boyfriend and now I need to kiss someone to spite him' kiss, but a real 'I want to be with YOU' kiss. I saw her eyes start to fill with tears as I pushed away. I looked directly at them, hers looked directly back at me.
"Is this what you want? Or are you kissing me to spite him?" My voice breaks at the thought of her using me to spite him. I just want to know the truth
"Its what I want. You." Her voice breaks as well. She means it. She... she likes me. I pull her back in and she accepts my request. She kissed me, as I did for her. This felt so wrong but so right.

"NAT!! NAT!! NATASHA!" A voice calls from the hall way. Its Tony, Shit. I pull away and stand up. Both our hair was messed up so we quickly sorted it out before he arrived. She whispers to me "Does he know that you like me?" I nod knowing that she's going to laugh at me but she doesn't. Instead, she starts yelling.

"How dare you? We can never be together! I'm with Bruce and I will not be with you! Your too old for me! A man from the 40s! Do you really think I'd want to go out with you?!" She yells, her face deadly serious. I realise the door is open and Tony is listening. I play along.
"Well, I'm so sorry but you can't lead me on and then act like you don't care!" I snap, holding back my laughter as best as I could.
"Sorry to interrupt you two but Banner has gone green. I need Natasha to calm him down." Tony comes in and sees our looks on our faces. We were both serious. We were hiding what we had just done.
"Shit!" Nat yells and begins to walk out, before she turns the corner, she winks at me, but makes sure Tony doesn't see.

"Sorry, buddy. I really thought you two could be together." Tony looks at me and I feel sorry for him. He doesnt realise what happened before he turned up. I sat down and put my head in my hands, for his sake. He left almost immediately after I sat down. The door shut, I put my head up and smiled.
