Natasha turned page in yet another file and had to blink hard to not fall asleep. "Nat?" Steve asked and she nodded sleepily. "Yeah what's up?" She said with her eyes pierced at the file. "I think you need some sleep." He said with a chuckle. She blinked a few more times before looking at him. "I just need some coffee.." She said as Steve began picking together all the files into one pile. "No don't do that." Natasha said with a frown that was greeted by a smile. "You have to sleep." He said.
"Don't take care of me." She said and he looked at her.
"I can't help it." He said and she sighed, too tired to argue. "You know I don't like to sleep." She said, closing her eyes for a few seconds before opening them again. When she opened them, Steve stood right beside her and grabbed her arm. "Fine, how about a movie? You'll choose." He said and she gave him a nod before walking over to the couch.
They put on a movie and sat down in the couch. Natasha let her head fall back on the pillows and turned to look at Steve instead of the tv. It all felt so ridiculous at the moment. If he wanted to be with her, and she wanted to be with him, why would she keep them from what they both wanted? Maybe she was being selfish? She thought about it for a while, letting the words pass in her mind like a thunder storm. Did he love her? How could he? She wasn't the type of woman you loved. She sometimes didn't even feel human, and he loved her? Maybe she was just confused. But when she looked at his face, when she saw his small chuckle when a joke was made in the movie, she just couldn't lock her feelings out. This isn't what she had ever imagined for herself, this was something better.

It hadn't even been 15 minutes into the movie when Natasha fell asleep. To Steve's surprise, she had moved closer to him and now slept with her head on his shoulder. Her hands were tangled around his arm and she breathed quietly. Steve grabbed the remote and turned off the Tv.
"Nat?" He whispered but got no reaction from her. He slowly stood up and carried her in his arms. She woke up a bit and pressed her face into his chest as he walked towards her bedroom. He put her down in her bed gently and started fixing the covers as she grabbed his hand.
"Steve?" She whispered with a tired voice and he looked at her.
"Yeah?" He asked as she opened her eyes to look at him. "Do you think we could pretend? That everything's alright?" She asked and he looked at her confused. "Everything is alright, Natasha. I'm not mad at you." He said and she shook her head a bit.
"No, like a good dream. Like we're in a good dream." She said as she looked at him with big eyes. "Come." She said and made place right beside her on the bed. He hesitated for a moment, before he laid down beside her. Steve was surprised to see the smile on Natasha's lips as he laid down. She moved closer to him, so close Steve had a hard time breathing. She put her head on his chest and Steve slowly put his arm around her, feeling her skin under his fingertips. "A good dream." Steve whispered and Natasha turned her head up to look at him. She moved her hand to his cheek and kissed him. She then moved her lips to his cheek and gave him a small peck there before she did the same on his neck. She then put her head back on his chest and put her arm over his stomach, holding him tightly. Steve relaxed with her by his side and brought her a little closer before kissing her head. He breathed in her smell and slowly fell asleep. Natasha was awake for a while longer, listening to his even heartbeat. A smile forced its way to her lips.
"I love you, Steve."
