Natasha laughed as Steve said something funny. They were currently walking home from a movie theatre which had been their fourth date. Their hands kept 'accidentally' bumping into each other's as they walked; unsure on whether or not it was okay to hold each other's hands.
They were right at that zone where they weren't exactly sure what the other one thought and didn't know on whether or not to kick the relationship up a notch or not. Steve slowed his walking speed down slightly, and she followed suit; neither of them wanting the night to end.
But unfortunately her small house came into view, and she bit back a sigh. They walked up the steps and onto the porch, when they suddenly both stopped. This was when they usually just said goodnight and left; waiting for the next day to discuss whether or not they would go on another date.
They were both expecting to go on another one, but still weren't exactly sure what the other one wanted.
After a few moments of slightly awkward silence that consisted of Steve stuffing his hands into his pockets and looking up at the roof, while she shuffled her feet quietly and stared down at the floor, they suddenly both started speaking.
"Natasha-"
"Steve, I-" They both paused and laughed quietly. After they laughed, she took a step closer to him and placed a hand on his chest; right over his heart. "Steve, thank you for a wonderful night." She said, voice almost inaudible as she looked up at Steve's mesmerizing azure colored eyes.
She could feel his heart pound a little harder and faster under her hand as they suddenly ended up a lot closer than intended.
She looked up at him through her lashes, and then down to his lips, noticing how his hovered only inches above hers. They both paused, once again unsure of what to do exactly, and Natasha's pulse thrummed inside her chest, making her feel like some young teenager.
Anticipation ran through her veins as she waited, unsure on whether or not she should make the first move, while Steve did the same.
But Natasha suddenly took a step back, looking down at the ground, before turning around to the door. "Um, goodnight, Steve." She whispered, not bothering to turn around as she placed a hand on the door knob.
"Goodnight, Natasha." He whispered back, and she could hear the disappointment and hurt in his voice. She bit her lip and closed her eyes. A flood of guilt and disappointment flooded through her veins.
She knew Steve probably felt like it was his fault she didn't kiss him, and she couldn't help but feel upset about what she did. She had wanted to kiss him. Heck, she had really wanted to kiss him.
She turned her head and sighed as she watched Steve walk away, head bowed as he was about to turn the corner. She inhaled a fresh breath of air. It was now or never.
"Steve, wait!" She called after him as she ran down the steps and after him. He turned around just in time, and the last thing she saw before she closed her eyes was Steve's shocked face as she flung herself at him and threw her arms around his neck; connecting their lips in a passionate kiss.
He immediately kissed her back, shock having no effect on him as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Her right hand came down to rest back on his heart as she deepened the kiss. She didn't even care one bit if all her neighbors were watching, all that mattered was this moment between her and Steve.
His hand came up to cup the back of her hair, fingers tangling in her fiery red hair, while the other arm wrapped even tighter around her waist, that hand gently caressing the side of her waist.
He kissed her slow and gentle, yet he still ignited a fire inside her as he also kissed her deeply, and with passion.
He wasn't rushing, he was kissing her softly, but passionately. He was kissing her in a way, that made her feel treasured, like she was the most delicate, and most important thing to him.
She'd kissed a lot of men, mostly dirty criminals that left her feeling disgusted when she was done, and thankful that the mission and kiss was over. But Steve...he made her feel special, feel alive, made her feel...loved.
She never wanted the kiss to end.
But unfortunately her supply of oxygen was running out, and she was forced to end the kiss. They slowly, and breathlessly pulled apart, not wanting to break the kiss, but knowing they had to.
She gradually opened her eyes to find Steve staring at her softly, with a smile in his eyes. She smiled back, before closing her eyes and leaning their foreheads together.
"Natasha?" He asked quietly and breathlessly.
"Yeah, Steve?" She questioned without even opening her eyes. He hesitated, but then he spoke.
"...I love you," He whispered, and a small smile crossed her lips.
"I love you more, though," She said back, eyes stills closed. Steve chuckled.
"Goodnight, Nat." He murmured.
"Goodnight, Steve." She murmured back, before he captured her lips with his in another slow, and soulful kiss. Their lips moved in perfect sync, in a loving, and tender kiss. After a little while, he released her lips and placed his lips gently on her forehead.
"Sleep well, angel." He murmured and she smiled. They moved apart and started walking away. She walked up to the porch and to the door, before turning around to see Steve looking back at her.
She waved softly with a shy smile and he returned both the smile and wave with his own. She turned back away and opened the door, entering the house. She slid down the door and bit her still tingling lip with a happy sigh.
She glanced out the window in the door to see Steve smiling a big smile as he rounded the corner. Tonight was definitely her favorite night by far.
And she couldn't wait for all the rest to come.
Thank you for reading! And if you have a chance, please review! Until next time! :)
