Welcome to Romanogers Week 2016! This is my very first week doing this so….yeah. This week is all about the love of Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff my second favorite OTP.

So sit back and enjoy!

Day 1: "Life Partner"

Life Partner- A person with whom one is in a long-term monogamous relationship.

"Love is for children Natalia, remember that. Any sign of love is going to be your downfall in the end. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir."

That was twenty-five years old when she was only five years old. The Red Room took a lot away from her at such a young age. Her family, her friends, and most of all her love. She had love for her parents and her school friends but once the Red Room came along it was nothing but a faded memory. She would never have a family nor a life partner. Until now twenty-five years later when she met man named Steve Rogers.

"Why don't you want to be in a relationship?" he asked her one night after they had sex. It was the type of relationship they had, a friends with benefits one. There was no such thing as being gentle with each other or making love as some may call it.

"Because it wouldn't work out in our line of work Steve." She replied. It was the same question with the same answer everytime. It wasn't the fact that their friends with benefits relationship wasn't amazing, because it was, it was just Steve wanted to know why they couldn't go farther.

"You said that last time."

"You brought up the question last time."

"Natasha," he said sitting up so that the sheet covered his naked lower half of his body. She sat up as well holding the sheet to her chest so everything was covered.

"Steve," she replied in the same tone.

"I need a real answer."

"That was a real answer."

"No it wasn't Natasha! It's the same reply I get everytime I ask you why we can't be something more than friends with benefits. I'm just another play toy?" The red-head felt as though her heart was just hit with a knife. Did he really feel as though was just another notch in her bed post? Has he always felt this way? So many questions ran through her head and before she could say anything Steve left the bed in search of his clothes.

"Look Nat, I love you a lot but until you feel the same way and ready to be in a relationship, then I can't keep doing this." he said while putting on his clothes. After he was done he grabbed his phone, keys, and wallet and walked over to the bed to give her a kiss on the lips, before walking out of her apartment.

That was Saturday night when he last heard from her and it was starting to get to him. No one has seen her at the tower or at S.H.E.I.L.D. headquarters. It was a waste of time to ask Fury, since the man would simply say "She is for me to know where she is."

Steve soon give up his search after a long day and went to his apartment instead of the tower. He took a shower and decided to relax in some sweatpants and a t-shirt. The Captain was half done with a T.V. show when the doorbell sounded.

Quietly picking up his shield the blonde made his way to the door, protecting himself if it was an attacker. When he opened the door, the blonde was surprised to find Natasha standing there with her red hair in a neat ponytail, black pencil skirt, black stilettos and white collared shirt.

Steve stepped aside to let her in before closing the door behind her and put down the shield.

"How are you?" he asked walking into the kitchen to grab both of them a bottle of water. She followed and took a seat at the dinner table and removed her heels; her feet on fire from being in them for 12 hours straight.

"I'm not going to lie, I've been a mess lately." She stated as he passed her the water before taking the seat across from her.

"I was looking for you today."

"I know Pepper told me. I wanted to talk to you today but Fury sent me on a mission in New Jersey."

"Oh." The silence stretched between them almost comfortable but it had a lot of tension in it. There were things unsaid that needed to be said, eventually one of them would have to make the first move.

"The reason why I didn't want to be in a relationship with you was because when I was younger I was taught that love was for children. Everything I loved was taken away from me at a young age. I love you Steve but I don't want anything else that I love to be taken from me." Natasha confessed. Wordlessly Steve stood up until he was in front of his girlfriend and dropped to his knees in front of her, looking her dead in the eye.

"No one and I mean no one is going to take me away from you. Do you understand that Nat? I love you too much to let anything happen to us. Every mission we get back from we will come home to each other. If love is for child Nat, then I'm willing to be childish with you. I love you." He said before leaning up to capture her lips.

Natasha returned the kiss with as much passion as her boyfriend picked her up and carried her to his- later he would argue that it's their- bedroom.

That night was spent making passionate love and revealing everything that they loved about each other. From that night on Natasha knew that she found her life partner.

The end I have finished Day 1. This chapter was about to be only 600 words but my friend was like add more details. I was typing this up during the Superbowl and when the halftime show came on I was barely paying attention to the story.
