You heard the door to your shared apartment open and close, alerting you that Yelena had finally come home after storming out after a heated argument. It wasn't often that you both would fight but this time, it was a big one. You felt a growing distance between you both and it worried you more than you thought it worried Yelena. She'd had a tough mission last month and things just didn't seem the same, even when you tried to get her to talk to you about it, she would just snap at you or ignore you before leaving the room.

"lyubov'?" Yelena questioned softly as she knocked on the bedroom door. You looked up at the door, your eyes red from crying most of the afternoon. "You're back" you mumbled before your eyes looked back down on the book in your lap. "I'm sorry" she took a few steps into the bedroom, "I shouldn't have shouted at you today, I feel horrible" she adds.

You sighed, closing your book to look at her. "I just want to help" you admit, "I know that last mission was tough on you, and I know sometimes opening up can be hard for you but you don't have to hide anything away from me" you remind her. Yelena nodded before sitting down on the edge of the bed, taking your hand and kissing the top of your knuckles. "I'm not good with words, you already know this" she spoke in a soft tone, "will you come with me?" she asks.

"Where?" you shuffle closer to her, "I have a surprise for you, well, my way of saying sorry" Yelena looks into your eyes. You could tell that the afternoon had also taken it's toll on her, she wasn't great with words but you could see just in her eyes how sorry she was. You nodded, "okay" you smiled softly to let her know you're not made with her, you're worried.

"Pack an overnight bag, I'll be in the kitchen grabbing a few things" she kisses your forehead and leaves the room leaving you wondering what she had planned. You packed a few light things and some bathroom items that you believed you might need before meeting Yelena in the kitchen. She had a picnic basket in her hand and a soft smile on her lips. "Are you ready?" she asked. "I think so" you replied, uncertainty in your tone.

It was quite a drive from your apartment to where Yelena was taking you, the night was only lit up by streetlights and the headlights of passing cars and trucks. One hand gently intertwined with yours as she drove, keeping her eyes on the road and stroking your knuckles with her thumb. Her hand was warm, like she was always made to hold yours. "Almost there, dorogoy" she looked at you for a second and smiled softly, her smile always made your heart skip a beat.

Yelena turned onto an offroad street, turning her high beams on showing you that the two of you were headed for the middle or nowhere. You didn't want to question where she was taking you, you didn't feel the need too. You knew you were safe with her, no matter where she was taking you. After a long 10 minutes down a dark, dusty road, Yelena turns into a paddock and turns the car off. "We have to walk from here" she looks to you. "Babe, it's pitch black out here!" you replied, worry now started to consume your thoughts.

"I have a flashlight" Yelena chuckled, "come on, you'll love it! I promise" she assures you before getting out of the car. You took a deep breath to shake the building worries thoughts in your mind before Yelena opened your door, "you're worried over nothing my love, let me show you" she smiles softly at you once more as she offers you her hand. You take her hand, her warm touch making you feel calm once more. She turns on the flashlight and guides you both into the woods.

A short walk into the darkness and you were met with a campsite lit up by fairy lights. A gazabo covered with a beautiful transparent white street, a blow up mattress covered by a thick blanket and plenty of pillows and a camp fire just waiting to be lit.

"Lena" you gasp at the sight, "you did all this?" you asked, turning to face her. Gently, she placed her hands on your hips and pulled you closer, "I'd do anything for you, I know upset you this morning and I really didn't mean too. I just want to get about everything and be here, with you" she says while looking deeply into your eyes. "I brought all your favourite snacks, I thought we could camp tonight and just forget about the world for a moment" she adds.

Any anger you had towards your girlfriend was no longer existent, you could help the growing smile on your lips as you nodded. "It sounds perfect to me" you replied before Yelena softly kissed your lips, "want a hot coco?" Yelena asked, you nodded. Yelena lit the camp fire which lit up the camp sight with more light, she boiled some water and made you a hot coco before the two of you sat by the fire drinking them and roasting marshmallows. You snuggled closely into Yelena's side for extra warmth as you both enjoyed the open space around you.

"Sometimes it's easy to forget how beautiful the world really is" you looked up at the sky, stars covering the dark sky with their shine. Yelena smiled as she looked at you, "I've never forgotten how beautiful my world is" she spoke softly. Her comment made your cheeks turn red was you looked at her, "and you said you weren't good with your words"

"Well when I have the worlds brightest star right beside me, it's hard not to tell them how I feel" she replied before sipping her hot coco making you blush even more. "You do realise that you've already got me, right?" You joked with a chuckle. "I wasn't too sure about that after this morning" Yelena admits, her eyes moving to the crackling fire in front of you both.

"Honey, couples fight" you place your roasting stick beside you and gently take Yelena's hand into yours, "it's okay, it's healthy. Besides, you can't get rid of me that easily" you smiled, "I am yours darling" you added to assure her.

"And I am yours, always" she looks at you and smiles softly.

After you both finished your hot coco, Yelena put the fire out for safety reasons of course and then joined you in bed, wrapping her arms around you as you both looked up at the night sky that was littered with stars. "We should do this more often" you commented, snuggling into Yelena's warm hold.

"We should just build a cabin in the woods and we'll have this view every night"

"That's an idea"

"Why don't we? It'll get us out of the city, away from everything. A wide open place to think and relax" Yelena adds to her growing suggestions. "Are you sure you're ready for that? For us to build a home?" You looked at her, Yelena nodded, "if it's with you, I'm ready for anything" she smiles before placing a soft and gentle kiss on your lips, "then we'll start looking for land" you smiled against her lips.

The two of you share ideas about what your future cabin would look like before eventually falling asleep in Yelena's arms. She never, ever fell asleep before you did. She always made sure you were safe before she rested her eyes. Yelena looked up at the sky once more, "whenever you are Natasha, thank you. Thank you for sending me the brightest star" she whispered before finally letting herself drift off to sleep.
