Truth
Chapter 5: Truth
Author Note: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING :(
Natasha's POV:
During this time in this room I am fighting with myself and I finally let one win. All I can think is "do I really believe this? Am I ready to say this? Will it hurt him if I say this? We both haven't spoken so I decide it is time to tell the truth. So I say, "Steve I...I…I….I love you." I cannot believe I just said that I am a total Idiot. He will never feel the same way he probably sees me as a heartless killer. Who would ever feel the same I mean he is the perfect kind Captain America and I am the Black Widow.
Steve's POV:
I cannot believe what I just heard. I can still here it replaying in my head. She looked so nervous and uneasy then in her beautiful, perfect voice she says, "Steve I...I…I….I love you." She just told me that she loved me and I am just sitting here like an idiot not saying anything. As soon as I recover from my shock from her words I take her in my arms and whisper, "I love you too Nat, you don't know how long I have wanted to hear you say that." My eyes start to tear up with tears of joy and soon I feel my shoulder getting a little damp from her tears.
"Shush, it is okay Nat just lay down and try to get some rest." I say rubbing her back.
"No," she replies sounding like a young child. "I have not been able to sleep since that night on the couch, I have nightmares without you."
"It is okay Nat I will always be here for you," I say as I was taken by surprise that I was not the only one that could not sleep without her.
I hesitantly kiss her head lightly before lying down on the floor and pull her down on top of me. As I lay there stroking her soft, fiery red hair I fall asleep.
Natasha's POV:
I just sit there waiting for his reply when he pulls me into his chest. He feels so warm and perfect. He surprises me when he whispers in my ear that he loves me too, and how he has waited for me to say that. I put my head on his strong shoulder when I started to feel my eyes starting to tear up. He tells me that everything will be fine and that I should get some sleep as he rubs my back. Honestly I can't sleep because every time I try I am just awakened by nightmares. I tell him no sounding like a baby and actually tell him the truth again. I am completely shocked when he whispers in my ear that he will always be here for me. He kisses me gently on the head and lays down on the floor pulling me with him. As we lay there he strokes my hair as he falls asleep. As I lay awake I think about how much has changed in the past hour with three simple words. Now that I told Steve the truth I cannot take it back and that frightens me a little. As I listen to the steady beat of Steve's heart I can't help but think this might actually be a good thing. Being childish feels amazing and I am starting to love this feeling.
