When Natasha woke up to a dark room. She could feel warmth radiating from Steves body laying next to her. He looked exhausted and completely at peace. As soon as she pulled away he frowned a little before rolling over. Natasha got up and walked to the bathroom to shower, when she got out she realized just how thin she looked. Her cheeks were sunken in and her usually vibrant red hair looked dull and limp. She pulled it up and got dressed in Steve's clothes. She had missed that smell enveloping her in the weeks that she had been gone. Once she walked out and reached the kitchen she saw Clint asleep on the couch in the living room. There was left over Chinese in the fridge that Natasha took back to her room. She ate and relaxed until Steve woke up. It was still dark out when he did.
"What time is it?"
"a little past 4. You've been out for about 18 hours, maybe a little more."
"Wow, so I wasted the day?"
"I'd say it was a well earned nap."
"I wasted time that I could have had with you."
"I'm right here Steve, and I'm not leaving any time soon. I'd miss you too much."
"I missed you so much Nat. I'm sorry for leaving…"
"You needed to think. The important thing is that you came back to me, I missed you every second while we were apart."
Natasha cuddled up to Steve, treasuring every moment she had with him.
It wasn't until noon that they left their bedroom, looking slightly flustered and disheveled. Clint was awake on the couch, still in his pajamas along with the rest of the avengers.
"looks like someone was getting it on…actually we heard that someone was getting it on. You two kind of suck at closing the door completely."
Steve turned bright red as Natasha pushed Tony off his seat.
"Why am I being bullied? Its not my fault I'm just being honest."
"Have some decency Tony."
"Take your own advice Tash."
She rolled her eyes and went to the kitchen where Thor was devouring his food.
"Banner has prepared a feast for us."
Natasha looked at Bruce as she took in the pasta in the pot.
"It's not exactly a feast Thor."
Natasha smiled at Steve and thanked him as she served herself and Steve plates. Steve smiled at her as she handed him his plate and took her seat between him and Clint.
"Its good to have you back Peaches."
"Its good to be back Stark."
"Now I believe we have a wedding to plan don't we."
Natasha smirked as she allowed him to pull up pictures of possible venues.
"Nat, don't you think Stark is going a little crazy? You've been back for 3 months and he's already changed your wedding around 6 times."
"we already know he's crazy Clint, besides I have final say in what happens. I'm actually thinking of going down to his lab right now and tell him what my plans are. Care to join?"
"yes please."
As soon as they walked into Tonys lab Natasha got a sour look on her face.
"Jesus Tony what is that smell?"
Both men looked at her as if she had gone insane.
"What smell?"
She walked forward and sniffed Tony and quickly backed away.
"That stench you have on you."
"I've been wearing this cologne for months now little red, you must be going crazy."
Natasha rolled her eyes but stayed away as she began to explain her plans. Once she finished Clint and Tony were looking at her awestruck.
"I would not have guessed any of that for you little Red. But I can have that ready in several hours so you and Capsicle just have to set a date."
"Just give me the total."
Tony snorted at her and shook his head.
"Like I'm actually gonna let you pay. Think of this as your wedding present."
"but.."
Clint placed his hand over Natasha mouth and dragged her away.
"Don't argue with Tony. Arguing with him never ends well."
Tony smirked as she allowed herself to be pulled away. Once they made it up the stairs to the main floor where Steve and Bruce were reading Clint let go of Natasha.
"You alright honey? You look a little out of breath."
"I'm fine Steve."
"were you guys working out?"
Clint shook his head no as he did a once over at Natasha, looking slightly confused.
"I think I'm just take a nap. I'm exhausted."
She walked over and laid down on the couch, resting her head on Steves lap.
"Tony wants us to set a date. For the wedding."
"If I could marry you right now I would Natasha. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I want that life to start now."
Natasha looked up and smiled.
"Would you think I was crazy if I said this weekend? I have the dress ready, and I told Tony about what we wanted."
Steve smiled that beautiful smile where it lit up his face and kissed Natasha.
"Jarvis?"
"Yes Miss Romanoff?"
"Will you please tell Tony that Saturday sounds like a good day?"
"Yes Miss Romanoff, right away."
She snuggled into Steve and was asleep in no time.
"Has Nat been feeling alright?"
"She's been tired but other than that she seems fine."
Bruce spoke up.
"I'll run some tests if she doesn't get her energy back up."
"thanks Bruce."
Bruce smiled at Steve and took a quick glance at the sleeping girl before going back to his book.
