“i think you just... fell for me.”
last night was exhausting, and Maria’s mind was still cloudy. a numb feeling had taken over her body as soon as she dropped herself on her bed, and the meager four hours of sleep couldn’t push it away.
she was sure she was pale, but she didn’t mind and she hoped her colleagues didn’t either.
she walked down one of the long, LONG hallways, not noticing the small stairs you need to walk down to get to the control panel.
she stumbles, and would’ve fell face flat on the ground if a pair of arms wouldn’t have grabbed her around her waist to catch her.
“Commander.”
“Agent Romanoff.”
“I think you just... fell for me.” Natasha smiled.
what the hell.
“Put me down, Romanoff.” Maria ordered.
“okay.” but instead of putting her down, the agent pulled her up.
“watch out the next time, because i can’t promise i can always catch you.” Natasha chuckles.
but l’ll try.
