Natasha Romanoff started off her day like any normal one. She woke up at 8:00 sharp and got dressed. She then cooked herself a small, nutritious breakfast. Then she took the elevator down to the training room. When she got there, she wasn't expecting anyone else there.
To be honest, she should have guessed that the Captain would be there (being a soldier and everything). She felt like surprising him, but seeing that he was on his 5th punching bag, so she decided against it.
"Hey." She said. Even though she didn't want to startle him, he jumped and turned around at her voice. He was relaxed to see that it was the master assassin (ironic now that he thinks about it).
"Hey." the Super-Soldier replied. The assassin then studied his face. Their seemed to be something bothering him
"So, is anything wrong?" She asked
"No, why would you ask?" Said the surprised Captain at the worried Widow's response
"Well, I-I-I just noticed that you looked upset" Responded the now blushing assassin
Steve noticed that the Black Widow was blushing and was doing her best to hide it. "Ms. Romanoff, there is no need to be shy, I mean we saved the world from Loki and his army." Steve said to try and help out Natasha.
Natasha felt a lot better and then realized something that she just couldn't figure it out before. She, a master assassin, was falling for Captain America, a super-soldier for the 40's. To be fair though, he was at the peak of physical condition and didn't look to shabby either.
Then out of the blue, the Cap asked Natasha she wasn't really expecting from him.
"Ms. Romanoff, I know we don't really know each other that well, but I was wondering if you would like to go out to the movies and maybe get a bite to eat."
Natasha just couldn't believe her ears. Captain America, was asking out her. She always pinned him going out with an All-American girl, not her. Still, she couldn't contain her excitement.
"I would love to go out with you Steve, and please, call me Natasha, we saved the world, and we don't need the formality." She stated
"But if it's no problem to you, I would rather go dancing?" She asked
"I would love to Natasha, but I don't know how to." He replied with a slight hint of embarrassment to his voice
"Don't worry, I can teach you" She said
She noticed that Steve cringed at that. "Is there a problem with something I said Steve?"
"No, it's just that, someone I loved said those exact same words before I crashed in the ice." Steve said
"Oh, I didn't know, I'm so sorry" Natasha stated. "No, it's alright, but I would love to go dancing with you." Steve replied
"Well I already knew that, I mean you asked me first." Natasha smiled as she said that.
"Well I guess you're right, it's just that I've never had much good luck with such enigmas like you."
This just made Natasha blush. "Well look at you, trying to flatter me, too bad you didn't use that to ask me out in the first place, but still I appreciate it." Then Natasha looked at Steve with some mystery in her eyes.
"I'll pick you up at 8:00, ok?" asked Steve
"Great, can't wait." Replied Natasha as she started to walk away back towards her room to let out her excitement
2 Hours Later
It was already 2:00. Only 6 hours till Natasha's date with Steve. Suddenly, her phone started ringing. She looked at her and saw that it was Steve and she answered it.
"Hey Steve, what do you need?" She asked
"I'm incredibly sorry Natasha but I'll have to take a rain check on our date because I have an important assignment."
"No problem." Said an incredibly disappointed Natasha
"If you want, I can come up to you and we can watch a movie before I leave?" asked Steve
"I would love that, can you come up now?" Natasha asked
"Alright, I'll up there in 5."
"Ok, I can't wait."
5 Minutes Later
Natasha was waiting for Steve when she heard a knocking. She hurried to the door and opened it to find Steve standing there, in his Captain America costume since he had a mission. "Well come on in, since we only have a little bit of time I picked Cars" Even though she really didn't care for the movie. Somehow though, Steve saw that through her impenetrable, or so she thought, emotionless mask. "Well if you want, we can do something else if you want?" he asked with concern.
"No, it's fine."
And with that they both settled on the same couch and Natasha started the movie and laid down as much as she could with Steve on the couch. Slowly but gently, Steve put his hand on her back to probably try and see what she would do, and when she didn't react negatively, she then wrapped his arms around her and laid down with her.
Natasha actually like his comfort and easily fell asleep and dreamt about him the whole time. At the same time, Steve also fell asleep but put his watch on timer to wake him up so he can get to his mission.
2 Hours Later
Natasha woke up with the gentlest shake of her shoulder and saw Steve shaking her. "Natasha, I have to leave now and I had a really great date." Steve then gave her a hug and Natasha game him a kiss on the cheek and he started to leave. Before he left Natasha blurted out "Just come back to me alive, ok Steve." She asked with worried in her eyes and voice. "Don't worry Nat, with someone like you to come back too, you can count on it". And with that he left to go to his mission and Natasha laid back down and dreamed of her and Steve again.
