18 : CAUGHT IN A MOMENT
Natasha went downstairs to have a breakfast with Steve. They will go to Coney Island today. He told her that the last lime he went was with Bucky. Other members of the Avengers were asleep and they all have a date today.
She wore only t-shirt, her favorite yellow jacket, black skinny jeans and pair of brown boots.
Steve was cooking in the kitchen, preparing their breakfast. He wore a brown V-neck t-shirt, matching black jeans and his new Nike that Natasha brought for him.
Captain America looked up and saw his partner. He gave her a soft smile.
"Good morning" He greeted "And just in time"
She sat at down as he put her breakfast in front of Natasha, poured her a cup of coffee. They almost finished their breakfast when their teammate woke up.
"Where are you guys going?" Tony asked.
"Coney Island" Steve replied, could not hide his excitement.
"And you didn't invite me? Really?" The billionaire said, pretended to be sad.
"Let's go, Steve" Natasha grabbed her partner's hand
He complied and took his leather jacket before followed Natasha to the elevator. The genius inventor kept shouting how broken-hearted he was. The two giggled.
When they reached the garage, Natasha walked straight to his favorite motorcycle.
"No no, today we will not ride that one" He told. "Today we will take this beauty out"
He gestured to his Ducati before handed her a helmet.
"I'm not wearing that thing"
"Nat" He scolded which made the spy gave up.
He climbed up his bike and helped pull her up, Natasha wrapped her arms around his waist before they headed to Coney Island.
As Steve parked his motorcycle, his eyes was filled with excitement and he was too eager that Natasha had to say something.
"Why do I feel like taking seven years old boy to amusement park?"
Steve turned to her, scratched his head and blushing. Natasha held his hand as they began to walk.
The place held a carnival, shop, games booths, souvenir, and food vendors.
Nobody noticed the two superheroes who blended with the crowd and Natasha held his hand all the time. She knew he still had a little problem when he was near someone he didn't really know.
Steve glanced at Natasha. In the sea of people, she was the clearest and the brightest in his eyes. Her hand was soft and warm. He felt more comfortable as they walked together.
Only Natasha could make him felt that way.
"What do you want to do first?" She asked.
"Um…why don't we go all out today? We already here and we can do anything that we want to do"
She smiled and nodded. Natasha looked around and saw the first thing she wanted to do. The spy grabbed her partner's hand and dragged him to the double deck carousel. The waiting line was long and full with kids and parents. Some kids even looked directly at Steve and Natasha with great curiosity.
Every man had to take a look at Natasha. She always gained attention from men whenever she go. Some started to come up with a plan to get her number or even ask her on a date, without noticed that she was with someone.
Natasha could felt that someone was staring at her and she just knew how to make it all gone.
"Maybe five minutes more" Steve said as he tried to crane forward to look at the waiting line.
Steve was startled when Natasha threw herself into his arms and rested her head on his chest. Suddenly, he felt that every eyes was looking at them and he realized what Natasha try to do.
He enveloped his strong arms around her and kissed on the top of her head.
She hummed with pleasure and murmured from his chest. "I love it when you do that"
"With pleasure" He gently replied and held his spy close.
And they both heard a voice from behind them. "Damn! She already has a boyfriend, man!"
Steve could heard his partner giggled that only made him smiled fondly.
She still clinging to Steve's side until they were both on the upper deck of the carousel. Unfortunately, there were only one horse left. Steve helped Natasha got up on its back and he stood next to her. From the look on his face, he wanted a horse to himself too.
"Get up here and sit with me" She said and scooted to the front.
"I'm not sure it could carried my weight"
"Yes, it can. If that guys not break it, I think it can support both of us"
Steve climbed up and sat behind Natasha and it was too close to her than he thought. Natasha could felt that he was really uncomfortable but she pull him out of his safe zone by leaning back against his chest
Steve soon relaxed and put his arms around her waist loosely as she pulled her phone out and took a photo of them.
"Come here" She whispered and pulled his face closer that he had to put his head on her shoulder. "This one is better"
Steve didn't listen to what she just said. He fell deep in to Natasha Romanoff's mysterious spell once again. The sweet scent from her hair mixed with her perfume wasn't like anything he ever smell.
It was addictive and intoxicated. He could not pulled away from her, he didn't want to, he just want to stay like this forever.
He knew this is perfect for him.
Natasha didn't said a word because his warm and safe embrace. The way his arms encircled around her was strong but yet so gentle, didn't hurt her but to protect her. The spy immediately discarded that thought because all the feeling just made her realized how much Steve Rogers was important to her.
He helped her down from the back of the horse when it's the end of the round. Natasha dragged him to other rides. Even Steve didn't want to, she managed to persuade her Star Spangled man to get on one of the thrill ride with her. Fear was flashed in his eyes but the spy wiped it away by holding his hand tightly.
Their lunch was a simple hot dog from the side walk vendor. As they were looking for another thrill ride, Natasha spotted something that immediately took her attention.
"Photo Booth!" She said excitingly and walked into that direction.
Steve followed and had been pushed inside behind the curtain. Natasha sat on his laps.
'What exactly are we doing?" He asked confusingly.
"Take a photo" She answered and inserted coins into the machine "It will be six shots. You can do any crazy and stupid face as you want"
The first shot were taken without prepared and it looked like they were talking to each other. The second one was Natasha wrapped her arms around his neck and fully smiled, same as Steve who was smiling at her enthusiastic. The third shot was Natasha pecked a kiss on his cheeks and Steve who smiled shyly and deeply blushed. The fourth one was they were laughing.
"The fifth one…" She murmured because she couldn't think of her pose yet.
But Steve acted fast and kissed her on a cheek
"Payback time" He said with a smirk as he caught her off guard with her own move.
But Natasha simply retaliated by put her full lips on his. Steve Rogers was in shock for a second before reciprocated with a gentle kiss and his hands on her hips. Natasha broke off the moment she heard the sound of shutter. Her emerald green orbs kept locking gaze with his baby blue eyes.
His eyes was staring at her lips.
"Let's go" She said and put her hand in his.
The two of them were waiting for the photo to print out. Once it came off, Natasha looked at it before put it in her pocket.
"I'll keep them"
"But I want it too."
She smiled playfully "No, it's mine."
Steve didn't go on about that topics and Natasha took him to the carnival game.
"There's too many cute stuffed animals!" Natasha exclaimed and pointed to the prizes.
"Didn't want to exaggerate but I really good at these games"
"Then, win those prizes for me, soldier boy" She said and tiptoed to kiss his cheek.
Steve smiled "Yes, ma'am"
"Three hits and you get the grand prize" The staff told. "$5 for one game"
Steve paid the man and started to throw a tennis ball into a hole on the wooden board. He hit the target every time. Natasha picked a stuffed unicorn before she told Steve that she want another one.
Captain American never disappoint a lady. He won another game and Natasha got a giant teddy bear that she want.
"It's yours, ma'am"
Steve could see a pure happiness through her eyes and her smile. It's made him happy too, to see Natasha Romanoff acting like a child, making her even cuter for him.
Steve won every game, every time. A worker in one booth even provided him with a giant plastic bag so he can put all of his prizes into the bag.
Envious glare came from every female that walked pass them. Of course, they all envy of Natasha because she had the handsome and charming Steve Rogers in her arms.
Natasha snuggled closer to her partner just to remind everyone that he was taken, well just their cover for today anyway.
"Steve, I will go over there and buy us some gelato" She told him.
"Yeah, I will wait right here and win some more prize for you"
She chuckled and kissed his cheek before walking away.
"Is she your girlfriend?" The male staff asked. "Man, she's fine. You are one hell of a lucky guy"
"I know"
Natasha was waiting for her gelato. Ice cream made her feel like a little kid once again. She picked a flavor that Steve would like and before she was about to pay for her gelato, two guys walked to her and stood at her side.
"What's up, beautiful? Lemme pay for you"
"Thank you but I can pay for myself"
"Hottie like you should have a man by your side"
Natasha's face displayed annoyance. She wanted to play along but she really want to go back to Steve right now more than wasting her time with these morons.
"I already have a man by my side. My boyfriend's over there"
She pointed at her blonde super soldier. The two guys looked at the same direction, at the same time Steve turned to look at her and he waved his hand.
"I'm sorry" The guy said and dragged his friend away from her.
Natasha still heard them talking.
"Did you see his arms?! Bigger than two of mine!"
"He must be a linebacker of some NFL team for sure"
She walked back to her partner and he asked her right away.
"Did those guys bothering you?"
"No, I just told them I'm here with my boyfriend and when they saw you, they practically ran away."
Steve laughed before turned back to his game. He won again and Natasha just saw the doll that she really like and put it in the plastic bag. Steve carried it all as they walked to the bench nearby.
"Try this, I picked for you" She put a plastic spoon in his mouth and waiting for his reaction.
She knew he was one of those sweet tooth.
"It's very delicious. What's flavor is it?"
"Brazilian Chocolate"
They were enjoyed the gelato until Steve suggested something for them.
"I think it is enough games for today. We better do another thing"
She keenly agreed with his suggestion because they already had two huge plastic bag contained with countless stuffed dolls. It was really cute for a big guy like Steve to carry bags full of dolls. Her gentleman must had something that make every girl swoon.
And the deadliest assassin like the Black Widow was no exception.
"Face paint!" She exclaimed "You must look absolutely adorable if a flower on your face"
"Nooo, Tasha don't do this to me"
But the spy dragged him to the face paint booth. She selected a pattern for both of them. Natasha spared Steve's dignity by selecting his symbol, White star with red and blue circle, and painted it on his right cheek. Natasha had her left cheek painted her own symbol of Black Widow's hour glass in red and black.
Steve was so cute that Natasha had to take a photo of him once they finished.
"You know what… we should do photo booth again" He said suggestively.
Natasha just put her hand in his and led him to the same photo booth they took earlier that day. She sat on his laps again and Steve put his arms around her waist. It's actually the same but when it came to the last shot.
Natasha kissed him again but this time Steve held her closer and kissed her back immediately. Even the shutter sounded, Steve didn't break off and continued kissing the woman in his arms.
Natasha too didn't want to stop at all. Her hands cupped his face and didn't want to let go of her super soldier.
"Hey! Two lovebirds, There a waiting line out here toooo!"
Someone yelled angrily from the outside caused the two to jump and broke off immediately. Natasha took the Captain's hand and led him out from the booth. Both of them blushed deeply when they saw the line outside. Natasha took the picture while Steve carried the two plastic bag and they hurried away.
"We've been here all day. Maybe it's time to go back"
"But how we gonna take these things back to the tower?" She asked, pointed to the bag he was carrying.
"I will get a cab to take it to the tower"
Steve got them a taxi and told the driver to drop the bags at Stark Tower. The soldier and the spy took the motorcycle back and waiting for the cab to deliver the bag. Natasha paid the driver and Steve carried the bags to the tower.
"Welcome back, Captain Rogers and Agent Romanoff. I do believe that you have a great time today"
"Of course, we are, JARVIS"
"The rest of the team is upstairs, sir"
They took the elevator up to the penthouse. They still talking about today but no one had a courage enough to talk about the kiss. They acted like nothing happened.
Once they reach the living area, every one saw the spy and soldier carried bags of stuffed dolls. Tony, being Tony, just had to tease them.
"You guys have fun?"
"Yes, we do" Steve answered without realizing that it was a trap.
"So you guys are dating"
Upon hearing that, Thor rushed to Steve and Natasha before gave them a bear hug.
"This is a marvelous news! Lord Steven and Lady Natasha finally you are in a romantic kinship"
"No, Thor. We are not" Natasha quickly corrected.
"Seriously, we are not boyfriend/girlfriend"
Thor put them down, smile faltered. The god really hoped that his two best friends finally became a lover so that he and Lady Jane didn't have to go on a double date with Stark anymore.
"You guys were together every single second of the day!" Tony opposed "What else's we can take from that?"
"Stark, you cannot even leave me in a peaceful quite moment for just five seconds" Natasha countered. "If I have to hang out with you all day, I rather jump off this building"
"And all of you have your significant others" Steve backed his partner.
"Just admit that you were a couple and we will leave you alone" Clint said and everyone else nodded in agreement.
Tony grinned because this is the first time that everyone was on his side.
The elevator sounded and the argument paused for a minute as Pepper walked in with her baby boy and kissed her husband. Until she started to notice a stressful atmosphere around her, especially Natasha and Steve who were glaring at her husband.
"What's going on?"
"Steve and Natasha is a couple!"
Pepper squealed with joy.
"Noooo, Pepper!"
"Stark, stop saying that or I will rip your tongue out!" Natasha threatened with a very angry glare and stomped out of the living room.
Steve followed her right away.
"Hail America!" Tony shouted before got shot by Natasha's widow bite.
"Thank you" Pepper said because it was effectively silenced her loud mouth husband.
Steve put bags of dolls on her bed. The soldier looked around her room and memorized every detail of it.
"Do you have your favorite one or you gonna keep all of it?" He asked.
"I gonna keep them all but I do have my favorite" She replied before lifted up a Captain American plush doll.
Steve smiled. "Well, don't put any voodoo on it"
"Can't make that promise"
"I do have my favorite one too" he said and showed her a Black Widow plush doll.
"You have my permission to keep it"
"It's not yours, ma'am. I won this when you buying your gelato"
"Yeah, I know. I gave you a permission to snuggle me when you sleep"
Steve lightly blushed and moved closer to Natasha
"Thank you for today, I really enjoyed it" He said.
"Me too"
"I just want to say that I'm really looking forward to our next date"
"So, this is our first date" She raised her eyebrows and slyly smiled.
"No, Miss Romanoff, this is not our first date. We've been doing this for many times"
Natasha silenced and thought back about what he said, indeed, they went on a date for many times but both denied that it was not a date.
"Well, if it's not our first date…I guess I can do this"
The spy leaned up and kissed her captain on his lips. He was froze for a second before reciprocated and pulled her closer. Natasha broke off first and smiled at her soldier.
"Goodnight, Soldier boy"
"Goodnight, Tasha"
Steve walked downstairs with the Black Widow dolls in his hand and tried to hide it from everyone but Hawkeye who was sitting in his nest up above can saw it perfectly clear.
"Nice plushie, Cap"
"Shut it, Barton"
Steve hurried to the elevator with his cheek deeply blushed. He climbed on his motorcycle and headed to his apartment in Brooklyn.
On the way back, Steve had time to think and he admitted to himself after denying for so long.
He is in love with Natasha Romanoff with all his heart.
