-Steve's POV-
When we enter Fury's office. Natasha and Fury lock eyes. Then the Director says,
"Tell me everything."
We are all seated and I listen patiently to Natasha as she tells Fury everything. Not everything. She may have left out a few minor deatils, which include us making out. Besides that she tells the story straight. I can tell Nat really trusts Fury. They have like a father daughter relationship. It's nice to see Nat be so willing to share. Unlike most days.
Natasha takes out the files I found and hands them to Fury. He just nods and places them on his desk. Then she hands him the letter. He takes it into consideration but doesn't read it in front of us.
"Thank you agents for your work. I will let you know once we find a little more information. You are dismissed," Fury states sincerly. With that we stand up and walk back to the elevator.
Once we are back at our floor, Natasha begins to open her door.
"Hey Nat we should talk," I hesitate.
"Ya we really should," She says back.
"I don't I can sleep. Want to now?" I ask.
"Ok sure come on in," She opens her apartment door fully and lets me in. I pull out a bar stool from under the kitchen counter and sit down. Nat opens a cabinet and pulls put two glasses.
"Wanna drink?" She questions.
"Yes please. Whatever you got," I return. As per usual Nat pulls out a bottle of Vodka. She pours us both the amount of a shot. She throws it down her throat. I do also. I may be a super solider but it still stings as I feel it go down my throat. I shake my head and scrunch my face. Nat just laughs as she pours us both another. 3 shots later I decide to speak,
"So we kissed."
-Natasha's POV-
I knew I couldn't do my usual thing and curve the converstation. This was inevitable. We sit in silence for a little until I respond,
"Ya we did,"
"What does it mean?" He asks.
"I really don't know. Most men I make out with are dead before this converstaion happens," I counter. Steve gives a slight chuckle.
"I guess I'm lucky then,"
"Ya I guess you are. In all seriousness I have no idea what we are doing," I finish. I see weight lift off his shoulders as he says his next words,
"All I know is that I think you are the fiercest most alluring and incredible person I have ever met. No matter what you have my back. You like to hide what you are feeling. With that you have good reason. Even if you won't admit it I'm slowly breaking down the walls. Slowly sure. But I am. I just want you to know that I see you. I see you for who you are. I see the real you. And I am drowning in every snarky glance you give. Every smile you flash. And at every eye roll. I am in love with the real you." Steve ends.
Tears begin to cloud my vision. I can't begin to comprehend the words Steve has said. He stands up to leave but I grab his arm.
"Steve. I don't know what to say. Just promise to never leave ever." He comes back over to me and wraps me in a hug. I pull him close to me and I rest my forhead on his chest.
"I'll never leave you Nat. Never."
"Stay with me tonight?"
"Always,"
When I wake up I'm nuzzled up in Steve's arms. I carefully remove myself and get dressed. Then I head down to the main kitchen. It's 6:30 am. I would of thought that no one was awake. That's when I see the new girl Wanda. She is standing at the island in the kitchen. I looked like she was cutting up fruit. But I see her eyes glance from her wrist to the knife in her hand. I walk heavily so she notices I'm there. Even though I don't know her, and she messed with my mind I offer my support.
"Good morning," I begin.
"Oh hey," She says quickly and places down the knife.
"You need to talk about anything?" I ask carefully.
"No I'm fine,"
"That's my line," I joke
"I'm here Wanda. Cause I know when I say 'I'm fine' I'm really not," I comfort.
"Why try and help me? The only thing I've ever done is hurt you," Wanda worries.
"I know what it's like to lose someone close. No one deserves to go through that," I add. She lets a sigh go. I walk around the island and give her a hug.
"I'm here for you. If you need anything just ask me," Then I leave the room. I'm already in workout attire so I head to the training room.
-Steve's POV-
When I wake up I'm alone in Natasha's bed. I get up and head back to my apartment to change. I wander to the training room, where I'm greeted by a spirited red head. She is throwing incredibly hard punches at the heavy bag. Small amounts of sand begin to pour out of it. Then the bag's chain snaps and it's thrown into the wall. Natasha turn around to find me.
"I would hate to be the bag," I comment. That gets a small laugh out of Nat. I start to wrap my hands.
"Wanna spar?" I look up at Nat's question.
"Sure but don't get upset when I beat you," I retort.
"Who knew Steve Rogers was a comedian," She laughs. I roll my eyes. We both head over to the mats that are already layed out on the floor.
"Ready?" I ask. Before I can get myself ready a punch is thrown to my abdomen. I take a step back to regain my balance. I throw a jab to her head but she ducks underneath it. We dance around eachother,exchange hits. I slowly lose focus as she flashes me a smile. Then she kicks hard at my left knee. My stance faulters. Suddenly she steps onto my lower thigh and swings her legs around my head. She flips me backwards and I land hard on the mat. She falls on top of me. Stradling me. Her face almost touching mine.
"Ya Romanoff," I hear someone say. I look over to the doorway. It seems that we had drawn a crowd. Agents of different levels were watching us. Along with Clint and Tony.
"This is hot!" Tony exclaims pushing through everyone. Nat rolls her eyes and gets off of me. She extends a hand I let her help me up.
"That was fun. I'll see you around Rogers," Natasha smirks. Glancing once at Clint. As she walks towards the doors; agents clear a path for her.
"Your one lucky man Capsicle," Tony laughs. I roll my eyes. I decide to help teach the incoming self defense class with Maria Hill and Clint. This takes up my entire morning.
Thanks for reading!
I want to have a few chapters of romanogers before we get to more of the storyline.
