"I am so sorry Nat." Flowers were practically being shoved into the spy's face when she opened the door. It was almost midnight and the streets of Brooklyn were now empty.

Five years, Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers have been dating for five years. They moved in with one another a year into dating and haven't looked back since. Things were going great. That was until work got in the couples way.

For the last four months, their date nights have been called off by Steve Rogers due to him canceling for a mission. Some lasted a few hours, others last a few weeks. Now the feeling of being forgotten or pushed aside for something else was starting to hit close to home for the spy.

"two hours. I waited for you for two hours." She hissed at him. She waited at the restaurant, their first date restaurant, for two hours waiting for him.

"I know and I am so sorry," he said. "I tried my hardest to get home as fast as I could but the mission took longer than expected and I lost my key on the way here,"

"I told you not to take the mission, Steve," She said the door was only open just enough for her head to poke through. "I said you would miss our anniversary and you did," She looked at her watch. "By five minutes."

"I will make it up to you I promise." He said.

"Yeah? Just like all of our other dates that you have canceled promising to make up?" Her voice was low and cold. "Do you understand how hard it is to sit in the restaurant like an idiot all alone as people whisper behind your back? I am a spy Steve I can hear what they say, I don't need their pity because my boyfriend decided that he had better things to do on our anniversary."

"You know that's not true," He said. "You are the most important thing in my life Nat," He had tears in his eyes.

"So why weren't you there? Why weren't you with me?" She asked.

"You know how Shield is. The world needs Captain America, I can't say no when the people need me," He explained.

"Well, what about me? I needed Steve Rogers and he was nowhere to be seen," She now had tears in her eyes that burned Steve's heart. He was the cause of those tears.

"I am sorry,"

"Sorry isn't going to change the fact that you have left me for more times then I can count Steve. I gave you my heart and you're making me feel I made a mistake." She said.

"I love you."

"I think you should go." She said. Steve frowned but nodded his head. She needed some time. So turning around, he limped down the stairs to his bike. Natasha could see the injuries on his back and she frowned.

He had spent so much time trying to speed up the mission for her he got hurt. By the looks of it, he didn't bother to get them to check out. A part of her loved what he does for her, and another part thinks he is so stupid.

"Come back here you idiot." She said. "I gotta stop your bleeding." Steve turned and smiled over at her.

"You know I am sorry right?" He asked.

"I know." She said. "Come on, I need my Stevie, even if it is a bit late."

"I love you," He said when he reached her wrapping his arms around her. "I got you these," He put a necklace on her neck, it was the color of his eyes.

"It's beautiful Steve," she smiled lovingly at him.

"Can we have a raincheck on dinner?"he asked as he hugged her once again.

"Of course."

Lets just say Steve was too scared to miss diner again.
