We're just friends

Chapter 14

Notes: this is loosely based on that one episode of Friends (iykyk)

"So what are you going to say to her?" yelled Sam, as Steve ran through the airport. Being a superhero had privileges he thought, as he'd managed to get through security with just a flash of his passport.
"I don't know. What can I say to make her change her mind?"
"I don't know, maybe the fact you've been in love with her for five years?" said Bucky
"No, I don't want to scare her."
"She's moving to another country Steve, she won't be scared."
"Well still! It's a startling thi-."
"I swear to god, if you don't say you love her I'm going to murder you. And that's not a threat." yelled Bucky
"Oh god."
They ran through the airport, searching for the gate Pepper had kindly told them when they screamed over the phone to her.
Steve ran around like a headless chicken.
"I have to find her, I have to find her, I have to find her." raced around his head.
Was he ready to tell her? Well, even if he wasn't it was too late now.
Suddenly, he caught sight of her red hair, moving through the crowd of people moving towards the gates.
"NATASHA!" He yelled at the top of his voice.
She turned to see him rushing through the crowd.
"Steve what the hell are you doing?" She asked when he was close enough.
"Stay."
"What?"
"Please stay here, with me. I can't live without you."
"Steve i-."
"I love you."
That made her pause.
"Steve you dont- ."
"No please listen. I love you Natasha Romanoff. I am so in love with you, it's embarrassing."
"Steve-"
"I've been in love with you for so long Nat. How and when, I don't know but I do. I love you."
"Steve I can't..."
"No don't say that. Please. Stay." Cause I can't be without you."
He took her hands in his
"You cant leave. It us. We're supposed to be together. I know that, you know that. Come on."
She looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry."
And with that, she let go of of his hands and began to walk away.
And Steve watched. He watched her leave. He watched as she went through the gate. He watched as she went through, with no looking back.
He watched the first women he'd loved in 80 years leave him.
He watched, because his heart was already broken.

Notes: y'all-
I'm tearing up
