See You In A Minute

See You In A Minute, Steve

Note: This is Natasha's POV, please read Steve's POV to understand especially the last part of this. Steve's is titled, "My Journey To See You In A Minute". Thanks.

This also will be confusing. This is actually a narration of Natasha after she jump off the cliff and recalling the day she first met Steve to the last time he saw him.

Whatever it takes...

I'll see you in a minute...

...

I jumped off that cliff.

One.

Two.

Three.

My body fell fast but it felt slow. Like how a minute felt slow, waiting, to see you again.

I don't know how long it has been but you're there at the top of the cliff. Weird how I can see you clearly. I can hear you clearly from where I landed, at the bottom of where you're standing.

You're close, yet you're far. You're far, yet so close. I can't touch you, and it hurts.

'Did it hurt?'

No it didn't, didn't feel anything.

'We're you scared?'

Oh Steve, don't do this to yourself. It hurts seeing you this way. I want to wipe your tears away, but I cant. I want to hold you but there's no way to reach you.

I can see your back retreating.

I'm here Steve.

I see you're taking a detour, I'm here but go on. I know you're lost and I'm sorry I couldn't guide you, but I believe you'll find your way back. I'd still see you in a minute.

Go. Only if you'll go will I see you again.

2012.

I first met you. It wasn't anything special but it doesn't take long to like you, as a person.

2014.

We became partners and I kept setting you up on dates. Dates that I know you wouldn't take.

Not until Sharon.

Remember when you saved me? I thought there's no way out but you made one for us. Just when I thought I couldn't trust anyone, you made me trust you.

I had so much in my mind. I was lost in my thought, and you came to me. I was reminded how you saved my life, then I wonder, will you trust me with yours? When I thought no one would trust me, you did.

Reminds me of that conversation.

'What do you want me to be?'

'How bout a friend?'

I expected something less. I can see it in your eyes, you meant it. I looked at you a little longer trying to see any hesitation but none. You really mean it. Can we really be friends? Am I worthy of that? I thought.

Looking back at it, I can say, I am. I'm more than just my title now, I'm a human. I'm Natasha.

Sokovia. I can still remember how we stood side by side, ready to take the fall.

'Where else are we gonna get a view like this?'

If you're here beside me now, you'll see a lot more beautiful view. No. There's no view better than the one shared with you. It's the view that makes a moment beautiful but its who you are with that makes it perfect.
