When Steve arrived at the tower, he quickly made his way to the bathroom, and had a long and nice, hot shower. After a good 30 minutes, he dried himself off and wrapped a towel around his waist. Upon opening the bathroom door, he saw Natasha sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting patiently for him.
"You showered more than usual,"she said, crossing her legs.
"I just wanted to relax a little," Steve shrugged and walked to their closet.
"Look Steve I'm sorry -"
"Stop," he turns to see her. "Please." Cap stares at Natasha as she looks at him carefully. He sighs and asks her, "why are you doing this?"
Natasha frowned, knitting her eyebrows, "doing what? Telling you I'm sorry?" She stands up and walks towards the captain. "Because it's true!"the redhead says and stops in front of him. Steve rolls his eyes, turning his face away from his wife.
"Come on, Natasha. We always have this conversation," he said and walked into the closet. Natasha sighed while watching him looking for his clothing. "We fight about the same thing, then we forgive ourselves, we fight, forgive-"
"So you're tired of this?" she put her hands on her hips, then shrugging her shoulders. "You're tired of us... Me..?"Natasha raises her eyebrow. Steve stood frozen at her words. Of course he's not tired of them, and never of her.
Cap turns himself and looks at her."That's totally not what I said, Natasha," he says while putting on his underwear. She shakes her head and walks to the bed.
"Well, that's what it seems like you're saying,"Natasha snaps, sitting again on the mattress, seeing him putting on his jeans. The leader of the Avengers growled while fixing his belt.
"You know what," Steve said while grabbing a shirt and walking out the huge closet. "I don't wanna argue with you."He puts his shirt on and walks forward to his side of the bed and says, "I'm gonna sleep on one of the guest bedroom." Cap grabs his pillow from the bed and his favorite blanket resting on a chair near the bed.
"What?"Natasha blinks surprised
Steve put his pillow and blanket under his arm, then says,"You heard me. Sleep well, Natasha."
He nods to her and started walking out the bedroom. Natasha's anger rose as she grabs a pillow and throws it at Steve, but he quickly closed the door, avoiding the pillow.
"Okay, fine then! Go!" she yelled. The spy really, really wanted to fix the problem with her husband, but, damn he was upset with her.
When Steve closed their bedroom door, he sighed and rested his forehead on the door, feeling terribly sorry with Natasha. He didn't want to be apart from her for any second, but it was necessary. She needed to trust him more, like he blindly trusted in her.
He walked into the hallway, towards one of the empty guest bedroom. He opened the door, and threw his belongings on the bed and closed the door behind him. Steve let out a long sigh while tilting his head back - facing the ceiling, telling himself that tonight was gonna be a long, long night for both of them.
The next morning, Steve - like always - woke up at his usual time, 6 AM. He got to the bathroom and styled his hair, brushing his teeth with a new toothbrush (that were for the guests). Cap sighed, remembering that he forgot his running gear in his closet. But right now if he entered that room, Natasha would probably break his neck the moment she saw him. So he decided to borrow gear from the gym and then go for his traditional morning run. As Steve stepped out the room, he quickly got on the elevator, not wanting see Natasha and pressed the gym floor button.
While waiting for the elevator to arrive, Steve's phone rang. He took it out from his pocket and didn't bother to see who was it.
"Hello?" he answers.
"Cap. In three days, we have a mission for you. Month and a half mission," Agent Maria Hill said.
Steve throws his head back and growls, "are you serious, maria? I just came from one."
"Yeah, I know. And I'm sorry, but it's a level 9 mission, so that means -"
"- an agent level 9 or an Avenger needs to go,"Cap finished for her.
"Glad you know the rules, captain. See you in three days then. At least another Avenger will go with you, so you can feel comfortable in the mission." Hill finishes and the elevator stopped at the gym.
Cap sighs and walks out of the elevator."Thanks. See you then," he said while going directly to the dressing room and hanging up the phone. He grabbed a stay cool shirt and sweatpants, putting them on. When he finished he walked to the elevator and went to the main kitchen.
"Good morning, Bruce" Steve greeted as he saw the doctor sitting in a stool at the island, drinking tea with bread on his hand.
"Morning Cap," Banner greeted. "Heading for your morning run?"
Cap nods as he goes towards the fridge. "Yeah, I need to clear my head,"the super soldier said, sounding sad and awful while taking out a jar of peanut butter and jelly.
Bruce noticed his sad tone, so he asked the captain, "you okay?" The doctor rises his eyebrows at the captain. The blonde haired man goes to the kitchen counter and takes out a white bread package.
"Yeah yeah, just.. I -I'm…"the sound of the elevator interrupts Steve.
"Oh ! morning, natasha" banner salute the redhead. Cap sees up and saw his beautiful wife walking towards them and quickly braking eye contact with her
"good morning, Bruce" natasha reply to her friend while throwing glances to steve and sitting next to the doc
The captain made quickly his peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and once he finished, he said "excuse me, doctor banner.."steve grabs his sandwich (he usually makes for himself like he's gonna feed 10 people). So he grabbed his sandwich and a bottle of water from the refrigerator "..see you around" he nods to bruce, then to quickly nod to his women and made his way out
"sure" banner said as he watched the captain walking faster toward the elevator. Natasha sighs and stands up to go to the stove, bruce knitted his eyebrows and asked "is everything alright ?" He knew for sure that something was wrong with his friends, because they always kiss each other when they saw each other, it was like their ritual
"yeah" natasha said as she turns on the fire and puts a pan on it
Bruce shook his head and lowers it"okay..." he say and drink his tea "..I will not force you to tell me about it. But. If you need anything.. I'm here" the doctor puts his elbows on the island. Romanoff look at him from her shoulder and said
"thanks..." natasha goes to the fridge, while hearing an 'of course' from bruce
...and that's how I met her" sam wilson aka the falcon was running next to the captain, but his friend wasn't even hearing his adventures with the ladies he meets. So wilson stops his tracks, leaving steve running alone "are you even paying attention to me ?" Sam told him. Steve heard his friend and sees that he stopped running, so he stops too and says confused
"¿ Why did you -
Steve frowns and ask him"What ?" Cap walks to sam
"I was talking about my date from last night, but your head is clearly in another place" sam told
Cap sighs and lowers his head"uh, sorry man.."steve pats on his friend arm "..I just.. I've have my mind in far from here" he admits, still his head down. Sam rolls his eyes and says sarcastically
"oh really ? I didn't notice" falcon arch a brow as steve was now who rolled his eyes. Wilson chuckled and pats his back as they started walking "what's up, man" sam says, knowing something or someone was on steve's mind "come on. You know you can tell me anything" said sam. Cap scratches his arm and sees the falcon
"yeah I know.." steve sighs and says to his friend "..natasha and I had a fight" sam frowned and asks
"what for ?"
Steve screw up his eyes "ugh. 'bout the same thing" cap gets his bottle and drank a little
"jealous" wilson 'guessing' about it. Rogers nods while drinking water, and once he finished, he said
"yes.." the captain closes his bottle and lowers his head "..but let's not talk about that, can we ?" Then to lift his head to see sam
"okay, as you want" falcon nodded and smiled at him. As they kept walking around the beautiful Central Park, then to jog, to a run - but for steve was like jogging when he runs with sam. While 'running', sam's lungs ran put of air, so he stopped by a tree to rest
"Oh God wait" sam breaths out. Steve stops and sees his friend sitting on the the grass and drinking water
"What's up? " cap asks while standing in front of him - on steve there was not even a drop of sweat on his forehead, while sam was soaking wet, forehead, and shirt.
The falcon gets air and says "Need air.. and a pair of new lungs.." wilson joked and steve chuckles. Sam rises his brows "..what are you laughing at ? Not everyone is a super soldier" sam said as cap laughed while taking a seat next to him. Falcon chuckled and patted on steve's shoulder "oh, cap.." sam still breathing hard "..about the.. apartmentt.. you liked in the internet" he told the captain. Of course cap had enough money to buy an apartment, he is a technically a millionaire, i mean he has money, lots of them - because of his service on the military, and saved the world. Now, he is well paid by SHIELD, and of course, because being an Avenger.
Steve grabs his water "the one in Brooklyn ?.." he asked and sip on his water and sam nodded at him, so the blonde said "..what about it ?" cap closes his water and put it aside
"well.." wilson smiled and quickly drank a little bit of his water, and closed when he finished "..it's for sale"
"are you serious ?!" Steve yelled excitedly "can we see it ?" Cap said more excited. He and natasha wanted to buy a apartment so they can have a place to refuge (more specific, to have their own love nest)
"sure.." sam leans his head back, trying to get more air "..why not. Let's just.. call the owner - or the one in charge first" he said and sees his captain - who was smiling ear to ear.
Steve and Sam went to the tower and showered quickly, so they can go the more fastest possible to the apartment steve wanted. Sam offered taking his truck and headed directly to Brooklyn. While in their way to Brooklyn, steve was on his Stark-Phone, watching the beautiful photos of the apartment from the website he saw
"damn I love this apartment" cap says while scrolling down the screen
"why ? Because it's in Brooklyn ?" Sam said
"besides that" steve chuckled. When they arrived at the address of the apartment, steve quickly get himself out of the truck and told sam to hurry up. So they went to the floor that was said on the website. When the two friends arrived at the floor, the landlord was already at the door of the apartment. When Rogers and Wilson walked through the hallway, the landlord saw their faces, and quickly recognizes them. After landlord finish having a fan-boy moment, he politely saluted them and opened the apartment's door and guide them into it
"well, I have to admit. You have really good taste" sam says while seeing the entrance
The landlord smiled from his shoulder and said "so, this is the living room.."he extended his hand at the place, showing a beautiful view and space
"wow" steve says and walks forward, captured by the amazing view
"yeah cap. Wow" sam looks around, stiil standing in his place. The landlord chuckles and said
"glad you guys like it" he walks next to steve and keeps saying "it has a nice view of the East River.." he crosses his arms as steve still had his eyes at the river "..peacefully mornings. Great neighborhood. Excellent staff service, and etcetera etcetera" the landlord sees the captain. Steve smiles to himself as sam walked and stood on the other side of his friend
Cap keep smiling and murmurs "natasha is gonna love this"
"uhh ?" Falcon frowns at him, not hearing well what cap said
"umm. Nothing" steve sees his friend, then he turns to see the landlord "whatever the price is. I'm gonna buy it" cap smiles broadly to him. Sam widened his eyes and coughs loudly, making the captain and the landlord to see him
Sam glanced at the landlord and then he says to steve "whoa whoa, hold on steve.." falcon shrugged his shoulders "..don't you wanna consult it first with natasha ?" Wilson risen his brows to cap
"it's also very near New York, sir" the landlord said trying to convince the captain. Steve and sam turn their eyes to him
"right now, I just wanna be far away from that city" steve says as a matter of fact. Sam rolls his eyes and grabs his friend's shoulders and takes him to the kitchen, and tells his friend in a low voice
"come on, man. Nat haves to know you're gonna buy an apartment" sam sees cap
"I don't need to consult her" steve says and turns to the landlord, smiling brighter than before and says while walking towards him "I'll buy it like i said. I don't care the price" cap stretched out his hand to him
The landlord widen his eyes and stretches the captain's hands, shaking them "y-yes, sir" he said nervously as sam sighed deeply "I will b-bring you the papers" the landlord says and goes quickly to the office, steve nods at him and smiled while he rushed his way out the apartment. Sam, who was still not convinced, he walked to the captain and says
"cap, are you sure ?" he arches a brow. Steve sighs and then smiles to him
"Absolutely" the blonde man said to sam
"come on.." the falcon trying to still convincing the captain "..she's going to be more mad at you" sam and steve were on the main room, as they finished seeing all the apartment - and also steve signed up the paperwork with the landlord. Cap smiles and chuckled at his friend "why you're laughing ?" Sam risen his brow at steve, while cap ketp chuckling "ooohhh.." wilson warned, knowing that little laughs of the captain "..tell me what you're planning" sam rise his brow higher at his friend and feeling so sure that steve has something in hands
"well.." steve tilted his head and smiled sheepishly, putting his hands on his pockets "..I was still mad at natasha this morning. But while running - I've have cleared my head, i cooled off, and I was planning to tell her to forgive me" he told and sam smiled at him
"okay.." falcon patted his shoulder
"and I wanted to surprise her with this new apartment !" Steve says excited
Falcon smirks "see. I knew you had something in mind" sam said as steve rolled his eyes. But then he cap says worryingly
"do you think she'll like it ? Or I should say, she'll forgive me ?" Rogers arches his eyebrows and scratches the back of his head. Sam sighs and screws up his eyes
"oh, come on cap. She will" wilson playfully punches cap's arm. Steve smiles at his friend and say
"okay, let's finish with this then" cap puts his hands on his hip and sighs
Meanwhile in the tower...
The redhead was in the main living room - a plate with food on her lap and blankly staring at it
"hey, tasha" clint barton greeted his long long-time friend and walks to the kitchen
Natasha turns away from her empty plate "hello, barton" she replied but quickly sees her plate again
"are you waiting for something ?" Clint asked as he saw her seating and staring at the - not touched - food
"ugh.." she growls and put the plate aside "..not at all" natasha lowers her head and nervously starts playing with her fingers
Hawkeye knitted his eyebrows while walking towards her "you know I'm one of the few people who can read you, right ?" Clint told as she rolled her eyes. Once he reached the couch, he seats next to her "come on, spit out" he hug her from her shoulders. Natasha sighed and groaned
"steve and I fight" the super spy put her hand on her forehead
"like, fight fight ?" Barton shook his head "or argue ?"
She growls and stands up, throwing her hands to the air "we argued, Clinton... again.." nat sees him and put her hands on her hip ".. about the same damn fucking thing" the redhead eyes showing pain and sorry
"sharon ?" Clint rises his brows at her. Natasha bites her lip and nodded, the archer growled loudly while he stood up, hands on natasha's shoulders "look natasha, I know I'm not married - and don't really wanna be.." he said, making her to chuckle (a little bit) "..but my point is.. You have to trust him with your eyes closed - with your life" barton shakes her slightly. Natasha lowered her head and murmurs
"he told me once - A relationship with trust issues will never end good"
"see, tasha ? ..." haweye grabs her hand "..You have to trust him.." he told and she sigh while seating again. Clint sees her and says "..when someone special walks into your life and is able to change things for the better.." he bends down in front of her and grabs her hands on his, seeing directly at her, he said "..don't let them walk away" natasha smiles warmly at her friend as he replies the smile
Everything was peaceful and wonderful, when a loud voice greets "hello, little red ! legolas !" Tony yelled "ah ! My dear friends" the billionaire extends his arms at them while walking up through the stairs
"hey tony" "sup" the two old buddies said. Stark smiled and sat on another couch, and quickly senses a different 'air' in the place. So he asks
"what's going on ?" Tony narrowed his eyebrows "why those long faces ?" He continues asking as clint stand straight and natasha shifts in her seat
"nothing.." clint answers while see iron man and whispers at him "..natasha is on her days"
Natasha glares at barton and coldly says "heard you" clint and tony smirked to themselves. Stark sees his surrounding and told his friends
"where's everyone else ? brucie, cap, thor ?" Tony crossed his leg and rest his arms on the couch
"I dunno" clint says, shrugging his shoulders. Iron man frowns and sees the spy
"red ?" Stark rises a brow at her
She grwols "what" natasha bites while rubbing her temples with her fingers. Tony sees her and worried he asked
"you're okay ?" He stands up to check on her. Natasha groans and stood up
"I'll be somewhere around" she said while walking to the elevator, leaving a confused Anthony Stark behind her. The playboy man frowns and turns to see the hawkeye
"I did something wrong ?" Tony asked as shrugging
Clint lifts his hand "just.." barton warned the iron man "..if you don't wanna get hurt by nat. Keep away from her and don't ask why" barton said and tony nodded...
