Her life is crazy. Ups downs sideways and diagonals. Life throws everything at her, and she has to work through it. Her two constants, her true love, Steven grant rogers and her best friend/ sister, Ava Johansson. This trio has been through more tha...
I was on 'bedrest'. I wasn't allowed to do anything. No training, no long walks, no driving, no swimming, no running. So basically, if it sounds like its a good idea, I cant do it. No fun. Well to be accurate 'nothing strenuous' after my surgery. Luckily I had Steve with me. He didn't seem to mind taking a week off...life...and spending it with me, cooped up indoors, and more accurately, cuddled in bed. Every time I tried to persuade him to let me get out of bed and do something that might actually be fun, he'd say the same thing.
"No, you cant get up! You're my prisoner for the week" then he'd produce a deck of cards and we'd end up playing stupid card games for hours until I'd forgotten whatever it was I wanted to do.
"Pleeeease steve. Come on, I'm going stir crazy. Next thing you know I'll be jumping around the room going bat shit crazy. Come on, pretty please."
"Nat. We've already had this conversation. N, O spells no. Would you like me to say it in Spanish, no"
"Come onnn. Stop treating me like a kid. I'm fine. Pleeeeease."
"Tony would kill me if he found out"
"But he wont find out. I'm not going to tell him obviously. Come on captain. Just this once. I'll stay in bed for the rest of the week pleaseeee"
"Its Tony. You know Iron Man. That genius billionaire playboy philanthropist"
"So what. You're a world famous soldier. And I am.......was, a world famous spy."
"Nat, he figured out we were dating before we did"
"Pleasseeeeee. Come on baby. Lets go to the fair. I'd love to go to one. You know I never really got to go to those kinds of things as a kid."
"Really? That's your tactic. Guilt" I smirked.
"Is it working?"
"....ugh fine lets go"
"Yay. I love you my super soldier" he rolled his eyes at me with a smile on his face.
"If Tony finds out, I'm blaming you. And were not doing anything I don't approve of first. If you hurt yourself at a freaking fair I'll never hear the end of it."
"Mmhmm" I responded.
"Are you listening to me"
"I'm listening, but I'm not paying attention" I wandered over to the wardrobe and started pulling out clothes while Steve wandered out to the kitchen, probably to make a coffee.

I grabbed a bucket hat from Steve's collection. It had a little animated dinosaur on it. I pulled it down over my, now shoulder length, curly hair. I had gotten it cut because it reminded me of....a time I'd rather forget. I wandered into the kitchen once I was dressed and saw steve sitting on the front door step looking up at the sky and sipping on an iced coffee.
I ran back into our room quietly and grabbed my Polaroid camera. I lay on the floor in the hall and adjusted the settings before snapping a photo. He turned at the flash and chuckled at my position on the floor. I quickly readjusted the camera settings as he turned back to the sun. I waited for the photo to print and lay it on the floor beside me and took a second photo while I waited for it to develop.
I stood up off the floor and walked over to him.
"When did you learn to make an iced coffee Monsieur fancy?"
"Well, I figured out how to work that coffee machine, apparently it makes iced coffee. When did you become a photographer?"
He reached out a hand for the two photos in my hand. I sat down on the step beside him as we waited for the photos develop.

"O Nat they're beautiful"
"Mm of course they're beautiful, you're the feature and, you're pretty beautiful. Go on go get ready so I can finally leave this house" he laughed at me but then stood up and walked back into the house leaving me on the step. I suddenly had an idea and ran into the house after him.
