Hey Guys, so direct continuation. I'll try to update Asap. Please R&R I'd Love to hear what you have to say, even if its negative.

He was there with her comforting her as she cried over her broken heart. He worked up the courage to finally tell her that he loved her. "Nat I can't stand seeing you like this."

"You called me Nat."

"What?"

"It's the first time since DC that you called me Nat."

"Nat. It's fitting." Natasha slightly chuckled at his remark. It was music to his ears.

"Steve?"

"Yeah."

"What am I missing? Or is it my past? Which one do you think drove Banner away? Served as a reason to reject me." Steve almost started crying at this. When would she learn that Banner was the ass that she was perfect in everyway that he loved her and would do anything for her? He was done waiting.

"Nat, you are perfect and Banner is a complete ass for leaving you like that. You should not feel upset because he up and left. There are hundreds of men that would take you in seconds and shower you with love and treat you like the goddess you are, if you would just let them." 'I would be one of them' he muttered. Her eyes lit up and he knew she had heard him.

"Steve would you really?"

"I have loved you for so long, since a little before DC. I just never found the courage to tell you and then when you left in the graveyard…I almost broke and ran after you. Then when we finally were all back together I saw you and Banner and I couldn't ruin that no matter what I felt. But now seeing how he mistreated you, I have just been dying on the inside."

"Steve please don't, I'm not good enough for you please, and I can't ruin you, the golden boy."

"No Nat. Stop you are perfect in every way, and I will have my way with you once you see that."

"Is that a promise?"

"Yes."

"Then fulfill it solider." And his lips were on hers within a second. It was sweet and light at first. Then their mutual desire and passion took over. "Steve I've been to scared to tell you." She said breathily after they broke apart for air. "I have been dancing around my feelings for you since DC, I…I love you Steve. You have broken through all of my layers, and made me feel alive again. I love you and I wanted to be with you after DC, but you didn't come after me. So I tried so hard to move on. But I couldn't because I love you and only you." That was all Steve needed. He stood up and picked her up in his arms. He leaned down and kissed her again and again. Their kisses grew in length, conveying more and more passion and desire. They slowly stood against a wall in the room. He lifted her up and she dutifully rapped her legs around his torso.

His lips moved to her jawline and down to her neck and collarbone. God he was showering her in love. He was no expert, he had neither practice nor any prior knowledge, but he was pleasing her in so many ways right now. "Room?" he whispered raggedly in her ear. This was a side of Steve she had never known, but was really pleased to have discovered. "Mine. It's the closest." And like that he held her upright and walked them back to her room. Never breaking their kiss she kicked the door closed behind them. He gracefully put her down on her bed and hovered above her. She pulled him down, and his weight felt right. Everything about this moment felt right. He pleased her that night over and over again until the early hours of the morning. She had deflowered the great Captain America, and he had stolen the Black widows heart.

She rolled over and was face to face with Steve. Her green eyes met his blue ones. "Morning Steve."

"Last night was a mistake Romanoff."

"What?" Her heart was breaking.

"You chose Banner and I have to accept that."

"No, Steve I choose you, please."

" You traded one avenger for another, you don't have me Romanoff, I'm gone and I'm not coming back. Its all your fault, you tossed me and my heart aside and now I'm gone. I left because of you Romanoff." Steve said it all very stoically and now she was in tears.

"No what about last night, and the love we shared and…"

"Last night never happened Romanoff, wake up it was a dream."

Natasha jumped awake. Oh god, it was all a dream. Steve was gone; he never said he loved her. Her dream turned nightmare was all too accurate. She did love him and Bruce was nothing more than a logical choice to avoid all that she felt for Steve. She was too late, and she drove him away. Oh god no. Steve…she broke into tears and curled up into herself. "Steve!" she cried out. Clint walked into her room and held her as she continued to cry. After several hours, she finally stopped and fell asleep again.

Steve was staring in the mirror of his little motel room. He inspected his face. He was sporting a full beard now. His super solider serum had caused him to grow a small beard everyday and if he didn't shave he had a full blown beard within two days. That's how long it had been since he had seen Natasha and the rest of the gang. He had dyed his hair dark brown. He was barely recognizable. He touched his lips and tried to call back the feeling of Natasha's soft lips against his. Sure it had been for no reason other than to ditch Rumlow and the other strike members, but he still couldn't help but wish it were for more. He loved her and she had chosen someone else, end of story.

He went to sleep that night and dreamed of her. She was sitting next to him again and he was done waiting. He pulled her face to his by lifting her chin up. He looked into her eyes getting lost and then he kissed her. When they broke apart he whispered those three words that hand been spinning inside of him for so long. And then she kissed him and said them back. Everything felt right in the world and he was happy. Then he woke up again. He missed her so much and leaving hurt as much as sitting there suffering in silence did.

So those stories I was referencing before that served as inspiration were Littlesass' Doesn't Matter, and Sportsfan64's Let Her Go. Both are truly amazing and the first chapter is probably a little better than the first chapter I wrote, but I would like to formally give them credit, because their works brought me to tears and they deserve official recognition. You all should go check out their stories asap. Please R&R.
