"everything, you told her everything Y/n? you do realise this-" Natasha gestured to herself and then me as she continued. "-isn't exactly legal. i could loose my job, my career would be over, i could even go to jail. do you understand that? jail Y/n" I nodded as i fiddled with my fingers.

After i admitted to telling Sarah everything Natasha pushed me off her lap so she could stand up. She had been pacing around the living room since she did.

"i know, but Sarah won't tell a soul. i promise, i've known her my whole life, and i know she wouldn't tell anyone" Natasha crossed her arms narrowing her eyes at me.

"seriously, she's kept every secret i've ever told her. from small ones to when i found out i was gay and didn't want anyone to know. you can trust her" I concluded standing up and slowly making my way over to Natasha.

She titled her head as she bit her lip, obviously terrified with our secret getting out. "do you trust me?" I spoke quietly as i grabbed her forearms untucking them.

Natasha sighed as she looked down at our now linked hands. "i trusted you not to tell anyone Y/n. i really like you and i'm risking everything to be with you. i'm just- i'm a little upset, that you didn't tell me you had told Sarah. can you understand that?" Natasha spoke calmly.

"yes, i'm sorry. i shouldn't have told her without talking to you first. it's just i was freaking out about you flirting with me at first and she's my person, the one i tell everything to" Natasha hummed as she listened to me.

"i get it, i just- i think i need some time to process all this. is that okay?" Natasha asked softly, she had started rubbing the back of my hands as she spoke.

"of course, but um- does that mean i have to leave?" I asked timidly, honestly not wanting to go.

"no of course not, you are more than welcome to stay. i still want you to be around cutie, just keep it PG the rest of the weekend?" I nodded liking that compromise.

"c-can we keep playing crash bandicoot?" Natasha's face lit up at the suggestion as she leaned forward to peck my cheek.

"of course we can honey" I beamed as we made our way back over to the sofa to continue our game.

~ sunday night ~

The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful. Just as Natasha said we didn't get up to much besides watching movies, playing games and doing my homework.

Saturday we just played crash bandicoot for a few more hours, after the whole Sarah knowing incident. We ended up cooking dinner together, Natasha likes to just make simple meals which i also enjoy.

That's what i would make when i lived back home with my parents and i'll probably do that until i really learn how to cook. The night just consisted of watching movies in bed, we cuddled a little bit, but it never lead anywhere.

As much as i wanted it to i respected Natasha's wish to keep it PG while she proceeded things. Sunday morning, again we cooked breakfast together, just scrambled eggs.

We then got into my homework, i had a decent amount from the past week. Plus soccer tryouts are next weekend so i need to stay on top of my work.

Natasha ordered me an Uber home a little after lunch even after my protests she insisted. "text me when you get back to your dorm" Natasha spoke softly into my ear as we hugged.

She walked me down to the front of her complex when we got the notification saying my Uber was here. "i will" I nuzzled into the crook of her neck not wanting to let go.
