I wake up when I feel a weight on my body. Confused, I try to get up... but I can't.
„Y/n." Natasha whispers in my ear. „Thank you for finding her."
I smile to myself. „I'd do anything for you, Nat."
Natasha, still lying on top of me, tries to hug me even tighter.
„You know, that'd be easier if you got off me." I chuckle and Nat rolls down next to me, before pulling me in so tightly that I can barely move.
I don't mind though and just keep breathing. Breathing her in. Natasha.
My nose is nestled at the crook of her neck, her legs are wrapped around me. Her heart pulsates at my chest. The normal and rhythmic rate calms me so much that I exhale loudly.
„Natasha, are you alright?"
Nat hums softly. „Mhm...", she places a small kiss on my forehead. „Thanks to you, I am okay."
Good. I snuggle even closer and listen to the steady sound of her breathing.
In.
Out.
In.
Out.
Extremely grateful, my eyes fall closed again.
A loud banging startles us awake.
„Are you guys dressed? I really don't want to see my sister doing the deed." Yelena shouts from outside the door.
Nat grunts, „Oh my gosh. Did I actually miss her?"
We get up and open the door. The bright lights are dazzling to my sleepy eyes.
„Wakey, wakey. Dinner's ready." Yelena chuckles.
„We were dressed. Just to let you know." Natasha mumbles, not meeting Yelena's eyes.
Yelena and I look at each other and break out in laughter.
„Suddenly she is the one who is acting shy." I laugh. „Usually she is always teasing me with lots and lots of sex talk and..."
„Y/n!" Nat puts her hand in front of my mouth. „Not in front of my sister!"
I snort, my laughter escaping through my nostrils, and Yelena is still doubling over, laugh-crying.
Natasha feigns annoyance, her cheeks scarlet. „You two are impossible."
With that, she walks away, leaving Yelena and me alone to regain composure.
„We gotta do that more often." Yelena proposes, „she is so embarrassed."
I nod enthusiastically. „Oh, how the tables have turned."
When we arrive at the dinner table, Natasha is pouting pointedly. Yelena and I sit down, on both of Nat's sides.
„Nattyyyy... it was just a joke." Yelena huffs but Nat doesn't react. Only the corner of her mouths are turning upwards. I simply make Nat look at me and after a nod of consent, our lips meet for a quick (soothing) kiss.
When I pull away, Natasha smirks and rolls her eyes. „You're forgiven."
„You guys are disturbingly, disgustingly cute, but also way too cheesy."
As a response to Yelena's remark, Nat turns to Tony. „If we send her away now, maybe I can save you all from Yelena's sarcasm."
„Ouch..." Yelena almost pushes Nat off her chair.
After dinner, Nat, Yelena, Wanda an I settle in Wanda's room with a few drinks.
„How long are you staying here, Yelena?" Nat asks out of the blue, a crisp in her hand.
„That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about..." Yelena pauses and takes a swig of her drink. „Tony has offered me again to join the Avengers."
The room goes all quiet except for the beat of Renée Rapp in the background. Natasha gapes at her. „Aaaand...?"
Yelena gulps. „Well, I wanted to check in with you because you're my sister. And I don't want to intrude your place or uhm... your family."
Natasha violently tackles her to the grand. „YOU are part my family, you dickhead."
Then she clears her throat and ads, „Of course, I would love you joining the team. Finally living together again, how cool would that be?"
Yelena smiles. „Good... because I would really like to join. I've had enough solo time while travelling."
„I feel like we're not supposed to be here." I whisper to Wanda.
Wanda nods and we attempt to get up and sneak away.
„Don't you dare walking away from us!" Yelena shouts loud enough to stop us in our tracks.
She and Yelena are still lying on the floor, hugging. Yelena waves Wanda and me over.
„You are my family now as well... If you want to." She pulls us down. „Wanda, I have known you for so long anyway. And you, Y/n, you're practically my sister-in-law."
Nat and I both make an unintelligible sound. „I'm not you're sister-in-law yet."
Oh shit, did I just say „YET"?!
„YET!" Wanda and Yelena exclaim in unison. „Y/n, you are adorable!"
I've already started pouting, when Natasha grabs my wrists and pulls me over the floor towards her. She raises and eyebrow and meets my eyes, causing my cheeks to warm up instantly. „Yo-you know... not that we... I mean, not that I... I just— hope—"
Nat interrupts my babbling with a finger on my lips. „Y/n Y/l/n, I'm hoping, as well, that we are going to marry someday."
Her words settle in my heart, releasing comfort and security that spreads through my entire body. My mind wants to swim in this feeling, drown in it.
I rest my foreheads against hers, looking deep into her eyes — her soul and her heart. There are no barriers to push me out. She is letting me in, trusting me completely. The same way, I blink, and let her see...me.
„You two are disgusting." Yelena snorts. Wanda smacks her.
They have stood up and are now towering over us.
Natasha rolls her eyes and gives her the finger. „Just because you are asexual and aromantic, does not mean that you have to insult every couple around you!"
„I'm not bothering every couple... I love love and sex." Yelena visibly cringes but then catches herself again to continue her sentence, „however, I do love annoying my sister."
Natasha huffs and I shrug. „They joys of siblinghood."
„Oh, and I mean no offence to you, Y/n. It's all directed to Nat." Yelena clarifies, a twinkle in her eyes.
I laugh. „None taken."
Nat, still holding up her finger, grunts, „I love you too." In response, Yelena smiles and forms a heart with her hands.
After Nat's and Yelena's quarrel, we continue to talk for a while, getting tipsier with every drink.
Suddenly, Wanda speaks up (slurs), „Where do you see yourselves in ten years?"
Before my brain comprehends the question, my mouth has already formed the words, „Hopefully dead."
„Y/n!" Three voices echoe in the room.
I laugh, „Sorrrrrry, I was joking."
The alcohol is making it way harder to lie. Fucking hell.
Natasha smacks me softly. „Get that out of your head. I can't live without you!"
„Sorry, sorryy..." I relent, still quite tipsy. „I meant, I see myself fit and healthy, living a happy life, full of butterflies and sun and everyone is wonderful and everything is perfect."
Nat puts me in a headlock, „You dork." Then lets me free again.
Yelena clears her throat. „Well... I hope we all still know each other and are friends. And I hope there is nothing or nobody..." Yelena glances at Natasha, her lips in a sad smile, „who tears us apart."
Nat puts a hand on her shoulder. „That's not going to happen again. We're safe now. You can't get rid of me that easily again, alright?"
„Alright." Yelena smiles and I stare at Natasha's perfect little face. The eyes that make me feel safe. The nose that moves when she talks.
The mouth which lets angelic laughter spill from her lips (and kisses so spine-tinglingly, toe-curlingly and heart-stoppingly that I could easily melt into a puddle of nothingness).
In awe, delighted to love a woman who cares so deeply, I allow myself to feel.
Nat and Yelena are still occupied with each other, in their own sister-realm. Wanda shoves me and smirks. Leaning over, she whispers, „You are such an utterly hopeless simp."
I glance at Nat whose eyes sparkle even in the dimly lit room. Without blushing, I nod slowly. „Yeah, I absolutely am."
Wanda beams at me and I add, „and I think that's okay. I think it's a good thing."
Quietly clapping, Wanda nods. „And that, ladies and gentlemen and anyone else, is what I call— PROGRESS!"
Her eyes widen violently at the last word, causing me to laugh. My laugh seems to be fairly infectious because Wanda joins me after a few seconds.
So, for the next few minutes we laugh and laugh about something that wouldn't even be considered as funny.
Eventually, when we've calmed down and our frantic attempts to breathe have worked, Yelena clears her throat.
„Y/nnnnn," she stretches out my name, „Wanna know what our Natasha has just told me?"
I nod and Nat attempts to shush Yelena, placing a hand over her mouth. „I told her that in confidence!"
„But it's cute!" Yelena swats her arm away, then pauses and turns back to Nat. „YOU should tell her yourself!"
Nat grumpily shakes her head, so I fulfil my duties and look at her with my most pleading puppy eyes (which would probably make cringe if I saw them). Nat sighs heavily. „Alright... I love your laugh."
„And?" Yelena smirks devilishly.
„I might have mentioned to her that when I'm kissing you... there's only us in the whole world and I never want it to end."
We look at each other for a few heartbeats - electrifying ones.
Nat bites her lip, as if she was thinking about something. Then, she whispers, „Which basically translates that I am really, really horny right now."
I raise my eyebrows (struggling to only raise one). „Well, I know what we can do against that."
Outraged, Yelena groans. „Oh, get a room!"
——————
Oh, gosh. Sorry, this was rather sappy and cringe.
(But sometimes it's just what I need, haha)
Anyway, take care of yourself!
Remember to eat and drink enough.
