The Reveal: Part two

A/N: Sorry this took so long to publish

"That I like you too", Natasha forced herself to spit out. She looked up at Steve, who was dumbfounded, maybe even stunned. But he didn't seem to be, matter-of-fact he seemed like a mix of doubt & slight difficulty.

Steve dropped his pizza on the plate & set it on the counter. He looked up at Natasha, a straight face & glaring eyes.

"And", Steve asked, catching Natasha off guard, she believed he would do something wild after she told him. "You weren't wrong, I just got out of an overdue marriage & I was making an irresponsible & very impulsive mistake when I asked you out on that date".

Steve's tone of voice changed variously as he spoke, but his difficult & doubtful expression was lifted off his face when he did speak. Which made it even more difficult to tell if he was being sarcastic or if he was just lying.

She didn't see this coming at all. She really thought Steve was going to sweep her off her feet as he kissed her, but she was wrong. Natasha realized that she was now dazed trying to figure out what he meant, she snapped herself out of the trance.

"I just wanted to tell you to clear the air", Natasha said, she took another bite from her pizza slice & sat it down, not really having much appetite after. Steve picked his plate back up & took another bite from the pizza before setting it back down again. "We can still be friends though, right"?

"Wow, way to kill a mood, Nat", Steve looked up at her with the corner of his lip turned up.

He instantly elevated his hand to her neck as he leaned in, the other dropped to her waist so he could pull her in as well & pressed his lips against her.

Taken back, her eyes shot wide open as their lips came together, Natasha didn't even get to react before he was all over her. Natasha's hands stuck to her side as Steve came in, too shocked to move for the first few seconds.

They both stumbled to the wall behind Natasha, separating only to get a quick few breaths in.

Natasha enclosed her arms around Steve, pulling & tugged on Steve's shirt, pulling him even closer, feeling every inch of Steve. Her right arm encased around Steve's torso, holding on to the back of his shirt & her left hand pressed against the back of his head, holding his face close, not letting them set apart.

Natasha planted her feet, walking & pushing against Steve, stumbling back, Steve's lower back hit the kitchen counter. He leaned against the counters as Natasha pushed up against him, holding him there.

His hands were wandering over Natasha's back, feeling her body. His hands stopped as he finally found her hips, holding them against his own, holding Natasha close to him.

The briefly parted to take a few breaths, but as Steve longed to lean in once more, his lips did not reach Natasha's. His eyes were closed but he was still holding her, but he didn't know why she wasn't there to meet him in the middle.

As he opened his eyes he noticed Natasha leaning away from him, her back aching to avoid Steve's incoming affection.

"What", Steve asked with a fake pouty face covering his old expression.

"I'm not sure we should be doing this", Natasha said, not removing herself from Steve's grasp on his waist.

"Then go", Steve said letting his hands drop from their hold on Natasha, he was giving her a chance to walk away, to make sure she didn't want to make another mistake.

But he didn't step back, he was going to let Natasha decided what she wanted. He knew what he wanted, Natasha, but if she didn't want him, then now was her time to leave.

"You know I can't do that", Natasha said, slightly having to look up at him now that he was leaning down towards her, a small grin came across her face as she lifted her hand to Steve's head & pulled him back down towards herself.

Their lips came together again, Steve was fully leaning over as he stood himself up. Natasha had to get on the tips of her toes reaching for Steve.

"Are you wanting to go upstairs anytime soon", Natasha asked in between breaths?

"Why do we got to go upstairs, right here is good for me", Steve said, not realizing what Natasha meant. As he leaned back in he realized what Natasha truly meant, she just had a smile across her face & was willing to not go. "Oh, OH, oh yeah, yeah... we can go upstairs".

Natasha laughed at Steve's mumbles & stuttering of his words. She pulled out of Steve's clutches, grabbed his hands in the process & lead him upstairs, to her room.

Natasha rolled over, off of Steve & now laying on her back. They were both out of breath & exhausted.

Natasha was laying on the right side of the bed, Steve was on the left.

"That seemed... different", Steve said, basically gasping for air at this point. Sweat was dripping down his bare chest & muscles. He lifted his hand against his forehead, still gasping.

"Yeah", Natasha said. She kept her black tank top on, she didn't like it when people saw her scars, so she always kept something over her torso at all times when people were around.

They both didn't look upon the other one & neither had words to explain what just happened in the last 40 minutes. But Steve jerked his head over to Natasha, which caught her attention, she looked in his direction as well.

"Did you bite my lip", Steve asked? Steve now noticed the throbbing feeling in his lower lip. He looked down at his arms & chest, which were littered with little pink dots, soon to be purple.

"Mhmm", Natasha mumbled, not wanting to give to much of an answer to Steve. She lifted her hand to her face, covering her small smile & light laughter.

"Well... I guess I will go take a shower now", Steve said as he got up from the bed & tried finding his clothes as swiftly as he could, that way he wouldn't be walking around Natasha's room naked for too long.

He quickly slid his underwear & shirt back on, not without a stare from Natasha though.

Steve walked to the upstairs bathroom, setting his clothes on the bathroom floor next to the sink.

Steve stripped himself of the few clothes he had on & walked into the glass shower box. It was completely see-through though, so before turning the shower on he walked out & locked the door.

He has a habit of showering with the door locked, usually because his kids would barley give a few seconds to breathe. But they weren't even in the house & Steve had no true reason to lock the dor other than it just felt right.

He walked back to the glass shower, stepping in & turning the shower on.

The showerhead spat out freezing cold water at Steve, getting a yelp from him as he tried to turn the hot water on. It took a few seconds, but soon the hot water was rinsing though his hair & running down his body.

Steve just stood in the shower, just letting the water run over him & thinking, thinking about the little things. Like his kids, how he missed them so much, about Natasha, & what they truly were.

He thought about that way too much, thinking about what the kids would think of Natasha after they knew they were together, even though they weren't official yet.

"Hurry up in there, you're taking all the hot water", Natasha yelled from the outside as she banged on the door so Steve would hear her. Steve snapped out of his trance & quickly finished his shower.

He walked out, wrapping a towel around his waist & grabbing his clothes before opening the door, Natasha was right behind it, waiting to get in.

"All your", Steve said as he started to walk towards the stairs & to his room. "Night Natasha".

"Good night Steve", Natasha said, but she wondered if he was going to come back up after she was out of the shower, there was no point of him not sleeping in the same bed as her anyway.
