We're just friends

Chapter 12

Some fluff for y'all cause it's been a long week and we need cuteness

"Ok, ok. What about that shawarma place we went to that one time?"
"Ughhhh I still have nightmares."
They were back at Steve's place. Natasha had taken one of Steve's t-shirts and a pair of sweatpants. They were too big for her, but Natasha didn't care.
They'd spent the evening talking about memories from before the snap. Steve's chest ached with laughter.
Natasha grinned at him.
"Ok, what about the party?" He asked
"What, the one where Ultron beat the shit out of us?"
"Yes, but not that part!"
She smiled
"I know. To be honest, I'd blocked it out of my mind. I'd just spent the whole evening flirting with Bruce ugh."
Natasha put her head in her hands.
"Why was that a bad thing?"
"Well you know how it is. Someone can mean so much to you one point in time. And then, two years later, you barely think about them? Isn't it strange?"
"Yes." Was all Steve could say.
Natasha winced inside. She knew she'd made him think of Peggy.
She grimaced before smiling.
"We've been through some shit haven't we Steve?"
He smiled at her.
"Maybe. But it's what happens when you're a superhero."
"You're right."
She grinned at him, before looking at the clock
"Crap is that the time? I have to get to bed! I'm meeting Pepper tomorrow to go shopping."
"Shopping?"
"All my stuff exploded Rogers."
"Right. I'll leave you be."
He leapt off the couch and walked to his room, as Natasha tucked herself into her blankets.
"Night Steve!"
"Night!" He said as he walked into his room.
He paused.
"Hey Nat?" He said, poking his head through the doorframe.
"Yeah?"
He took a deep breath.
"I hope you know how much you mean to me."
She gave him a quaint smile.
"I hope you know how much you mean to me too."
