Thanks so much for reading my story. This is the first fanfiction I write. It will have 2 more chapters. I intend on uploading them during this week. Should have said this on the beggining but had no idea how to edit the text here ahah. This fic is dedicated to Diana. She's the one who inspired me to write it. xx


Steve was the one to wake up first. He looked to his right side to check what time it was. The clock marked 7 a.m. The blinds were up and the sun light was entering the room.

Natasha was sleeping in his arms. He kissed her hair and held her tightly.

He was so lucky to be there with her. He had never expected their friendship could evolve to that moment they had shared that night.

Steve was feeling happy, like he hadn't felt in a while. But at the same time he was afraid of what that night might mean. Maybe to Natasha that was only a one night stand and she wasn't in love with him, like he was with her. Or… maybe his feelings were reciprocated.

He tried not to overthink. When Natasha woke up, they would talk through it.

While lost in his thoughts, she started moving and woke up.

"Morning, Steve."

"Hey. Did you sleep well?" – Steve rubbed her back.

"Yeah. It's so good to sleep in your arms. I could do this every night." – Natasha whispered while tighting her grip around Steve.

"Me too, Nat." – He kissed her lips. "Hm, we can do this every night, if you want."

Natasha stayed silent, which made him regret his words.

"Nat, uh, I mean. I didn't mean to pressure you. We, we don't have to talk about this now."

She put a finger on his lips. "Steve, stop. I'm sorry. I'm confused, that's all. I…, I don't know."

"Are you in love with me, Nat?"

"Steve…"

"Just answer my question!" – He exclaimed, a little exasperated.

Natasha left his embrace and sat on the bed. Steve imitated her.

"Yes, I am." – She answered.

Steve's face lighted up. He held her and she pressed her head on his neck and breathed his scent. "I'm scared. I've never felt like this before, Steve. I don't wanna lose you."

"Nat, you'll never lose me. I'm not leaving your life nor are you leaving mine. I won't let that happen. I'm in love with you too."

Steve grabbed her chin and pulled her face up. "I want you. I want us."

Natasha pressed her forehead to his. "I want that too."

Steve smiled and put his arms around her waist, pulling her close. He let out a nervous laugh. "So, we're a couple now?"

"Yes." – Natasha answered and kissed his lips. "After what happened between me and Bruce, I thought maybe love wasn't for me."

"Nat, don't do that to yourself. That wasn't your fault. Bruce doesn't deserve you. I'll give my best to prove to be worthy of you."

Tears started streaming down Natasha's face as she held Steve and kissed him passionately. "Don't be silly. Of course you're worthy of me. You are the best man I've ever met."

Steve smiled and kissed her. Then he laid down in bed and took her in his arms, resting her against his chest.

"I wish we could stay like this forever. You know, just the two of us. I'm so tired of running." – Natasha said while holding his hand.

"You don't have to run anymore, sweetheart. You're with me now."

Natasha kissed his hand and held him closer to her.

They held each other like that for a while more. Then they decided to get up and took a shower together.

2 days later

Steve and Natasha were cuddling on the couch. She was sitting on his lap. Her hands were wrapped around his neck. Steve was holding Natasha by the waist close to him.

They were kissing. Nat slid her hand down and unzipped his jeans.

"Hm, what are you doing? – Steve asked teasingly.

"Fuck me." – Natasha whispered.

Steve pinned her against the couch and took his shirt off. Just as he was about to start undressing Natasha his cellphone rang.

"Fuck" – He exclaimed.

"Do you have to take the call?"

"Let me just see who it is. It could be Sam." – Steve grabbed the phone. "Yeah, it's him". "Hey Sam."

"Steve, can I go meet you and Natasha? My mission is solved. All ended good. When I'm there we can talk better."

"Sure. I'll text you the address."
