You're Perfect (Natasha x Female!Reader)
Natasha had been having a tough time lately and had been putting herself down, not believing in herself. You'd tried to be there for her, tried to be a loving girlfriend, but the more you did that, the more closed off she got, refusing to accept she was loved, refusing to accept she was a wonderful person.
You'd gotten an idea though. Maybe Natasha didn't need to hear that she was a wonderful person, maybe she needed to read why she was.
You jumped off your bed, grabbing a stack of post-it notes and some pens with a grin on your face.

Natasha made her way to the kitchen with the intent to make coffee. She padded bare foot to the fridge and almost missed the post-it stuck to the handle.
"What the...?" Natasha started before pulling it off and reading it.
Natasha, here are some reasons why you are a wonderful person:
Natasha turned to face Bucky with an amused grin on her face.
"There are plenty more where that came from." He laughed. He'd been sat at the table minding his own business when you came running in, sticking notes in various places before running back out. He'd read them as curiosity got the better of him.
Natasha put the note in her pocket and opened the fridge where sure enough, there was another note.
Your smile could light up the darkest room
Natasha smiled and placed that too in her pocket before picking up the milk and heading toward the coffee machine, where there was of course another note.
You've never let anyone down
She opened the cupboard over head and there, on her favourite mug was the fourth note.
You always put others before yourself
The smile on Natasha's face was permanent now, and as she went for the sugar jar she was happy to see another note stuck to it.
I've no doubt you're worthy enough to lift Mjölnir
Natasha let out a little giggle and finished off making her coffee, a handful of notes now in her pocket.
"See ya." Bucky grinned at Natasha and she grinned back, making her way out of the kitchen.
"Later, Barnes." It felt nice to smile and laugh after the bleak few weeks that she'd had.
On the way back your shared bedroom, she saw more notes littering the walls. She took her time to read them all, going up to the first one and unsticking it.
You give the best hugs
She unstuck the next one.
You give helpful, meaningful advice
And the next.
Despite your reputation as an Agent, you're the most caring woman I know
Her smiled returned at that, and she pulled off another.
You make me so unbelievably happy just by breathing
She laughed warmly before pulling off the final one which was just above the handle to your door.
You are beautiful, inside and out
She opened the door and saw it was dark, aside from a few candles lit on the nightstand. A lone rose lay in the middle off the bed and there was a note on each pillow.
She put down her coffee and went to read them, going to her pillow first.
There is not one fault about you, Natasha Romanoff
She then read the next.
So do not ever put yourself down; I can't bare not seeing that beautiful smile of yours
Just as she read that she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and as soon as she saw you she launched, holding your face in her hands and kissing you fiercely.
You held her waist and smiled into the kiss before you both pulled back and rested your foreheads against eachother.
'Thank you for this, Y/N. I smiled more reading those notes than I have in the past three weeks combined. I'm sorry I've been so emotionally absent, I just felt it was better to close myself off." She frowned.
You gently held her chin and looked into her eyes, "Hey none of that. I wanna see that beautiful smile, remember?" She smiled at you and your heart melted. "I understand why you've been off but please talk to me in future, you know I'm always here for you." You planted a chaste kiss on her lips.
"I know, I will. I love you so much. I really needed this."
"I love you too, and I also have one more note for you, this one isn't written on paper though." You smirked, and Natasha raised an eyebrow.
You unzipped your hoodie revealing not only you were just in a bra, but that you had writing written across your cleavage reading: YOU'RE PERFECT
Natasha laughed and kissed you again, "How on Earth did you write that on yourself?"
"Bucky may have done it for me." You laughed.
"Ah, it's lucky he's gay!" She joked, tucking a stray hair behind your ear.
"He totally fondled a boob with his metal hand though! It felt nice so I didn't mention it." You smirked and Natasha mock scowled.
"Those boobs are mine, only I can fondle them!" She chucked you on the bed and crawled on top of you, both of you giggling. You were happy that everything was back to normal, and you had your fun, happy, slightly jealous, girlfriend back.
