Only a matter of time

That leaves me and you

                                YOUR POV
I couldn't fall asleep after the movie. My mind was racing of doubts and concerns. What if she was just playing with my feelings? She wouldn't do that because she didn't even put her walls back up. I was just overthinking things. There was no need too but you were head over heels for her that so many things crossed your mind at once. You decided to go to the training room and do random things to waste time. It was hard to get sleep when your mind wouldn't shut off. At first you went to the shooting range and you had the best shot because of how much experience you had. Nat was definitely on her way to be better than you, and Bucky was also close behind. We would all have competitions to see who could hit the most targets with their eyes closed. Definitely one of the more intense times because of how competitive we all are. It made me smile at the thought of all three of us having something it common but also made me sad that it involved a terrible life skill. After hitting every target I hopped on the treadmill because I haven't ran in forever, not like I needed too anyways. Turns out you can out run a treadmill, I'll have Tony pay for a new one. I decided to stop there and get some time of sleep even if it was just a couple hours. I woke up at 7am and no one was awake at this time because when we didn't have missions everyone slept till 8:30. Right now we barely had missions and when we did it was a once a month type of thing and I wasn't needed because the missions were small. I was in the mood for food, a lot of it. So I made my way to the kitchen and cooked everyone breakfast. Which included everything, Pancakes, Eggs, Omelets, French toast, Bacon, Fruit platers, Crepes, Waffles. No one really ate that much except for Pietro and I because of how high our metabolisms are. I had just finished up when it hit about 8:40am so the team should've here soon. "Hey FRIDAY, can you tell everyone breakfast is ready." I called out to the AI while cleaning up everything. "Yes Y/n." It called back. About 10 minutes later everyone came flooding down and I sat on the couch drinking my coffee and watching looney tunes on the Tv. "Woah what's all this for?" Sam questioned. "No special occasion. Go ahead and dig in." I stated still not taking my eyes away from the Tv. "Thanks Y/n!" Pietro shouted before grabbing one of everything. "You didn't poison anything did you?" Bucky asked hesitantly. "If I wanted you dead Buckeroo I would've asked you to solve a math problem to watch your head explode." I shot back at him. Everyone started laughing and they all sat at the table and ate. I already ate because I don't know how to cook and not have a taste of what I made. "You're not going to eat with us?" Wanda questioned as she came up behind me. "I already ate. Thank you for your concern sexy witch." Turning towards her with a cheeky smile. "Well looks like you're still your charming self." Rolling her eyes at me. "Did you think there was something wrong?" I asked confused. "Sorta. You haven't made breakfast in a while but I just thought it was because you've been up all night." She confessed. "Oh. Sorry to worry you, I did in fact get a couple hours of sleep so nothing to worry about Wanda." Sending her a thankful smile. "Thank God I thought we'd have to throw you in the lake again." Natasha spoke up making everyone turn there heads. She looked as beautiful as ever with her longer red hair and her beautiful green eyes. Her leggings fit her so well that it showed every curve and how toned she was. "I'm starting to think that you enjoy being soaked." I joked knowing it sounded extremely sexual. I wasn't the only one as Sam and Bucky both choked on their food. Natasha sent them glares and they both stopped and put their heads down. "Is there a special reason why you made all of this?" Nat gestured to every thing. "Yes actually." I stated getting up from the couch and walking in her direction as she poured herself coffee. "You just said there was no reason!" Sam chimed in. I moved closer to Nat and shot her a wink hoping she would play along. I turned towards everyone while leaning on the counter. "You all know what laxatives are right?" Trying to hide my laughter. They all immediately froze and Wanda turned to me with wide eyes. "You- you put that in the food!?" Pietro shouted knowing he had the most food out of everyone. "Well you might have to wait and find out." Letting the smirk on my face show that I wasn't joking. Natasha was next to me laughing her ass off and Wanda was trying not to laugh at how they were all going to be a shitting mess in about an hour. "Y/n!" Bucky groaned in frustration. "Yes Bucky?" I responded innocently. "You're going to pay for this!" Sam continued. "Am I?" I joked. "None of you could outsmart me." Sending them a cheeky grin. That seemed to be the tipping edge for Sam, Bucky and Pietro because they took pranks very seriously. They started to chase after me while Steve was trying not to laugh at this situation even though he ate as well. It took them an hour before they gave up probably starting to feel those laxatives now. I made my way back into the kitchen to find it was only Nat there and everything seemed to be clean up.

NATASHA POV
"You think I lost them?" Y/n questioned as she made her way towards me. "I think you just set yourself up to get ganged up on." I shot back hiding my smile with my coffee mug. "Nah they're not smart enough for that." She joked while sitting on one of the bar stools. "True." I stated while moving to lean on the counter to where we were both facing each other. There was something we both wanted to say but we didn't know how. "Hi." Was all she said with that gorgeous smile on her face. "Hey." I said trying to not smile at her but failing. "Are we going to talk about yesterday?" She asked nervously. I guess she didn't want to beat around the bush either. "I think it was everything. Last night was something I don't want to forget or ignore." I confessed. Y/n seemed a little surprised at my actions but was also relieved. I'm 100% sure that my future was sitting right in front of me. Sadly it took me a over a year to figure it out but I'm ready. "I just want to be clear that you're saying you want this again?" She questioned hesitantly while gesturing towards us both. "I'm sorry it took so long for me to realize it. But last night just reminded me of everything I've been missing since we broke up. I've felt empty and incomplete without you. And I'm still not ready to get married but I'm willing to be with you hoping you'll wait for me." I sighed heavily. It seemed that she didn't know what to say and I was hoping she would say something soon. "I will wait as long as it takes. I just want to be with you whatever conditions you have I'm willing to work with them." She responded while grabbing my hand. Immediately I felt our connection flow throughout my entire body and it sent shivers down my spine. "So where does that leave us?" I asked. "Well it's you and me against the world." She joked which made me laugh. I wanted to kiss her so badly right now but I didn't want to move so fast. "I still want to take things slow even though we both know each other like the backs of our hands." I spoke hoping she'd be alright with that. "I want that as well. Obviously things are going to be different but maybe it's what we need." She concluded while moving to the other side of the counter next to me. "That is true. So are we dating again?" I questioned stepping closer to her. "Take me on a date first red." She scoffed playfully. How I hated that name but loved it at the same time. It was like when she called 'Natalia' it made me feel things when she said it but when anyone else said that name it made me feel sick. Red didn't make me feel sick it agitated me. "That name is so corny it's unbearable." Rolling my eyes at her. Y/n took the opportunity to step closer to where our faces were inches apart. "Are you sure? Because I'm pretty sure you like that name don't you Natalia?" She teased. "Don't be a tease." I groaned at her. I was trying to be subtle about crossing my legs to hide the fact that I was aching but she could read me like a book. "Someone missed me." She joked while walking towards the refrigerator. "Can't blame me when you're a walking turn on button." I mumbled under my breath. She didn't even bother to hide her smirk as she drank a bottle of water. "Do you think I should go blonde again or keep the brunette? Also do I keep it short or grow it out?" Changing the subject. I really liked the short hair but I missed rubbing my hands through it. Blonde was something I was thinking of doing myself but I loved my red hair and her brunette hair as well. "Keep it medium length. And stick with the brown." I stated crossing my arms as I watched her. "I thought you liked the short hair?" She turned to me confused. "I do. But I have nothing to run my fingers through then." Sending her a wink. She understood what I meant and let out a light chuckle. "Yeah I bet you do." She grumbled while moving towards me again. "Hey Y/n can you help stop them from shitting everywhere?" Wanda blurted out breaking up our moment. Y/n sent her a glare before moving away from me. "Sorry did I interrupt something?" She asked apologetically. "No it's ok Wanda. I was about to go for my daily run anyways." Sending her a genuine smile. "Wait Nat can we continue this later?" Y/n pleaded. "Yeah. I'll be waiting." I nodded to her before walking away. Going slow was almost thrown out the window because of how touch deprived I am. I couldn't help but let a smile creep on my face for the rest of the day. I finally got what I've been longing for. Things we're looking up for us and maybe we'll get the happy ending we've always wanted. It's Y/n and I against the world. I decided to put my promise ring back on because I had taken it off after the night at the club. It made my stomach do flips that one day I could be married to Y/n and that we could live a life together maybe with children at one point too. But for now we're going to take it one step at a time.
