Professor Romanoff

Chapter 46

"Why the hell did I let you take me to a axe throwing place," I complained. "Because you love me and it's sooo much fun," she said playfully. "You'll be lucky if I don't come chop your head off." She scoffed, "yeah don't think you're capable of that," she said, lighting her fist up.

"I really forget you can do that sometimes," I said as we made our way up to the counter. She just laughed and payed for two bays for us. "I know you were joking about taking my head off but please, be careful. I don't want your girlfriend coming after me." "I'll be fine," I laughed.

Well I always speak too soon. I need to learn that I'm way too clumsy. I mean seriously, I don't even know how I function.

It all started off really well. I was hitting the target and I discovered I was pretty good at this shit. On one particular throw, the axe didn't stick in the wood and it came hurdling back towards me. I dodged out of the way, but the blade grazed past my calve.

Of course I was wearing shorts, so it hurt like a bitch. "Fuck," I cursed. Carol dropped her axes and was immediately at my side. "Shit are you ok!" she said worried. "Yeah it's not that deep, but I think my axe throwing days are over." "Yeah and maybe my life," she quipped. "You didn't do anything Carol. Plus you literally have super powers. I love Nat but I think you could handle her," I joked.

"She's Russian though. Russians are scary." I laughed at her remark. "You're not wrong, but you should probably take me back so I can clean this up." "Probably best but I will not be going inside. You can deal with her wrath." I rolled my eyes "Gee thanks you're so lovely. Help me up you crazy bitch." "Nope get up yourself fucker," she exclaimed flicking me off. Guess I deserved it.

The worker handed me some paper towels and disinfectant for my cut, which I took gratefully. It's probably best if I tend to this quick so that Nat doesn't worry too much when she sees it. The cut was about three inches long and one inch deep, so luckily I don't think it will need stitches.

I cleaned it up on the car ride back and the bleeding had slowed down significantly. "Alright bitch text me and let me know if your girlfriend killed you or not," she shouted out the window. "Yeah ok I'll see your crazy ass later," I joked, waving to her as I walked into the building.

I stepped into the elevator and pressed our floor. I had a little time to process my thoughts. Maybe she wouldn't even notice. I think I cleaned it pretty well. I've tricked the former assassin before or maybe she just let me think I tricked her.

The elevator dinged, informing me that I arrived on our floor. I limped slightly to the door and used my key that Nat made for me to unlock the door. As soon as I walked in, I began to look for Natasha.

She wasn't in the kitchen or living room, so she was either in our room or out. Quietly, I peeked my head through the door and melted at the sight. Curled up on the bed was my beautiful girlfriend. Her mouth was slightly agape, small little sounds leaving with each breath. Her hair was sprawled all over the place, but she was still absolutely adorable to me.

I smiled, entering the room completely. I walked over to the other side of the bed and gently lifted the comforter. Then, I wrapped my arm around her waist, making her the little spoon. I cuddled up to her body, completely forgetting about the cut on my calve.

Soon, I drifted off, falling into a light slumber. It wasn't until I felt fingers raking through my hair that I woke up. I slowly opened my eyes, rubbing the sleep out of them. "Hey baby," Nat cooed. "Hi,"  I replied in my sleepy voice. 

"When did you get back," she questioned, kissing my forehead. "What time is it now?" She looked over at the nightstand, reading the clock. "8:30" "Oh then two hours ago," I replied. Nat hummed, "You should have woken me up darling." I shook my head, "You looked so cute and relaxed. I didn't want to wake you."

She chuckled, "You're so adorable." I smiled and leaned up to kiss her lips a few times. "I love you," I whispered against her lips. "I love you," she easily replied, kissing me again but she pulled away with a frown.

"Baby why are you so hot?" I furrowed my brows, "Well I mean that's random but like good genes," I answered confused. "No I mean you have sweat dripping down your leg." My face fell, remembering the cut I got earlier. She's going to be so worried.

Nat picked up on my sudden mood change and got off me, lifting the cover in the process. A gasp escaped her lips as she saw a small pool of blood on the bed sheets. "Oh my god baby you're bleeding!" she exclaimed. "What the hell happened!!"

I sighed, "Me and Carol went to an axe throwing place and one came flying back at me, grazing my leg. I cleaned it up on the way out and it was fine. When I came home and saw you all cozied up in the sheets, I totally forgot about it." She seemed so worried and I felt so bad that I was the cause of it.

"It's ok baby. I was worried it was something more serious. Let me help you clean it again then we can watch movies for the rest of the night. How does that sound?" she asked. "It sounds perfect. Thank you love," I beamed.

A/N

Nothing too significant this chapter, but next few chapters will be meeting Nat's fam!

I think this story will be ending in the next like 20 chapters, buuuut I think I'll make a second book.

Also no spoilers but I saw MoM yesterday and I have no words. Definitely makes me want to write a Wanda story. I have one in the drafts, but I want to write more chapters before I publish it so yeah.

Hope you enjoyed and if you ever just want to talk about life or have any chapter/story suggestions, my Dm's are always open.
