Over the past 30 minutes the car ride had been awkward and completely silent. The only sound that could be heard in the car was the rolling of the tires against the pavement and each other's breathing.
Tony clicked his tongue as he glanced over at Natasha who sat in the passenger seat, her legs crossed over the dash and her face void of any emotion.
"So, Red, what's new with you?" He asked
Natasha looked over her shoulder at the brunette before turning back to look at the road "nothing." She replied shortly
Tony scoffed "come on, I saw the tape. You looked great by the way." He smirked
Natasha furrowed her eyebrows as she snapped her head towards the brunette "you watched it?!"
"No, but the cover for the article looked amazing." He complemented with a smirk
Natasha said nothing as she turned back around and looked out of the passenger side window, with a frown. Steve glanced over at the blonde and took her hand in his, pulling it up to his lips he placed a gentle kiss on her palm. Natasha glanced over at the blond and gave him a small smile before looking back out the window.
Tony's eyes darted between the two blondes and he cocked a eyebrow, still shocked by Steve's sudden affection.
It didn't take them much longer to reach the Rogers estate. Pulling into the driveway Natasha looked up and smiled as she saw the simple two story stone house with a burgundy colored door.
They all got out of the car and Steve quickly walked over to the trunk taking out his and Natasha's luggage while Tony took out his own.
"What do you think?" Sarah asked as she walked up to her daughter-in-law and put a hand on her shoulder
Natasha looked over at the older woman and smiled "it's beautiful." She complemented and Sarah nodded in agreement
"Well, I think so at least." She agreed
Steve walked up to the two women, setting down the luggage he looked over at his mother "I'm gonna show Natasha around, I'm sure she's tired, it's been a long day." He said and Sarah nodded in understanding
----
"This place is amazing." Natasha complemented as her and Steve walked up the staircase, through the hall and into their room
Steve kicked the door closed as he walked in and sat the luggage down beside the door.
"Yeah, mom designed the whole thing." He said and Natasha nodded as she took a seat on the edge of the bed and stared at the wall in front of her aimlessly
Steve sighed as he walked over to the bed and took a seat beside her. He placed a gentle hand on her knee cap and Natasha looked at him, her green eyes shone brightly with pain.
"You shouldn't let what Tony says get to you, he's just trying to upset you." he said softly
Natasha nodded "I know, he hasn't changed that much since last time I saw him." She joked
Steve chuckled a little "no, he hasn't." He agreed "um, why don't you go and get ready for bed, I'll be back in a minute." He suggested and Natasha furrowed her eyebrows
"But it's only three p.m." she noted as she looked at the time on her phone
"I know, but your gonna want all the rest you can get, your going to be pretty jetlagged in the morning if you don't." He replied and Natasha nodded
Steve got up from the bed, placing a gentle kiss on Natasha's forehead before walking out of the room and down the hall to his brothers.
Steve knocked on the door and hearing a muffled 'come in' from Tony he walked into the room.
Tony turned to his brother with a smirk lacing his lips "look who finnaly decided to show up. Red finnaly let you out of her sight?" He teased and Steve rolled his eyes
"Look, I'm going to ask you this once and only once." Steve started and Tony looked at the blond with furrowed eyebrows "during this trip I don't want you to utter another word about the tape, not a damn one." He said firmly
Tony huffed "come on it's just a tape, I don't see what the big deal-" he began as he threw a shirt down on his bed
"Not a damn word Tony!" Steve interrupted, his eyes holding a look that made the brunette quiver
"Fine, I won't say a word." He replied as he held up his hands in surrender
Steve gave a curt nod before leaving the room and walking back to his own. As he entered the room he smiled a little as he saw Natasha on the bed, in a purple silk nightgown, reading a book like she did every night. Stripping off his shirt and pants, being left only in his boxers, Steve walked over to the bed and hopped in beside her.
Natasha glanced over at the blond who looked at her with a smile on his face. Natasha furrowed her eyebrows before she closed the book in her hands and sat it on the nightstand. Getting herself settled under the covers she looked up at her husband.
"What?" She asked as she plopped her hands down on the mattress
Steve shrugged, a goofy school boy grin on his face "nothing." He replied before laying down and wrapping his arms around her waist and laying his head on her chest
Natasha froze for a moment, placing her hands awkwardly on the back of his shoulders.
"Is this okay?" He asked as if sensing her uneasiness
"Um, yeah, yeah, it's okay." She replied as her hands traveled up to his hair and her fingers combed through it
Steve smiled contently as he dug his face into her chest and her fingers raked through his short blond locks.
Natasha smiled a little as she felt Steve's breathing even out, signaling that he was now asleep.
'You're not so bad' she thought
Natasha found herself watching Steve as he slept, he looked so peaceful when he slept, like he had not a single care in the world.
"You're starting." He muttered against her breast
Natasha froze for a moment, bitting her bottom lip before continuing to rake her fingers through his hair "I thought you were asleep." She stated
Steve hummed "I know." He looked up at the blonde who looked down at him with a light smile on her lips "I really want this to work, I really want us to work." He said softly as he took her hand in his and spun her ring around on her finger
Natasha smiled "me too." She replied
Steve sat up in the bed and cupped Natasha's face in his hands "I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure we work." He said sincerely
Natasha furrowed her eyebrows and let out a small chuckle "Steve, where is this all coming from?"
Steve shrugged "I don't know, it's just that, this last month or so I've realized just how incredible you are and just how wrong I was all those years ago. I want to be there for you Natasha, I want to be one of those people you can count on no matter what."
Natasha smiled as she cupped his face in her hands "I trust you Steve." She said sincerely before placing a gentle peck to his lips
Steve smiled as their lips parted and as they laid back down he laid his head on her chest once again.
'Whatever it takes.' He thought as his grip around her waist tightened and he dug his face further into her chest
