Notes: ooohhh who's it gonna beeeeee

A red-haired women, her fist clearly in the position to knock again, was stood at his door.
She looked exhausted, hair in a messy bun and had bags under her eyes, but she still looked more beautiful then ever
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Nat-."
She interrupted him by moving forward, putting her finger on his lips
"Shh don't speak. I don't want you to say a word until I'm done."
He nodded nervously.
"So, I was on a plane to god knows where, thinking about something someone has said to me before I left. Someone who I'd known for a really long time. And as I was doing so, i realised how stupid I'd been. He'd been there for me from the beginning, those feelings had been there from the beginning. So there I was, on a plane, 500 miles away from the man I loved."
"Cause you see Rogers... It's you. It's always you and it's always gonna be you. I love you. I love you more then I've ever loved anyone else in this world. I've loved you, from the moment you opened your dumb old mouth and called me ma'am. I've loved you, ever since you jumped out of a fucking plane after Tony. I've loved you, ever since you helped us in New York. I've been in love with you for far too long. And now, I know more then ever, that if I am to stay here, I want to stay here with you."
Silence.
"Is that something you'd be interested in?"
She barely had time to finish her sentence before Steve had her swooped up in an embrace.
He lifted her off the ground, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, dropping her bag to the floor. They then shared a kiss. Not like a rushed undercover kiss. A kiss, that both of them used to express the feelings they'd been wanting to say for a long time. A slow kiss, full of love and passion.
It was the best 10 seconds of Steve's life.
When they'd got disentangled from each other, Steve pressed his forehead to hers and whispered "Well, better late then never."
"Is that a yes then?"
He laughed, before taking her into the apartment

Notes: see I'm not that cruel :))
Also sorry if that was like cringey. I don't know I can only write angst y'all.
