“You okay?” Nat pulled apart and looked at me.

“Yeah, bit shaken up after seeing the fight and all.” I smiled as I stroked her head.

“Don’t be. I am here for you.” She comforted me not knowing I was worried about her.

“Yeah, you are.” My mind began seeing the images of her lying dead on Vormir. ‘I don’t want that.’

“You are definitely not okay.” Natasha moved away from me and looked at me in worry.

I smiled and took the bags. “Let’s go. The lasagne won’t make itself.”

Nat sighed before looping her arms through mine as we walked back to our house. I began describing the fight I saw from the street between Iron man and iron mongrel.

“I think it’s the Iron Man dude that you told me about.” Nat nodded.

“Your descriptions sound like it was him.” She frowned.

As soon as we got home Natasha went to check up on something on her laptop.

“Checking to see what happened?” I ask her as I began preparing for dinner.

“Yeah, the report isn’t updated yet. Looks like they are just about finished taking control of the situation.” She told me as she closed her laptop.

She came to help me but somehow that ended up with us having sex. “I am hungry now and we still haven’t got any food,” Nat said after a while as we laid on the couch with her on top of me.

“Shall we order something?” I asked her as I caressed her bareback.

“No, I still want to eat lasagne.” Her hand ruffled through my hair.

“Strangely I feel this was somehow a cheer up sex because I was upset.” I pointed out but she just smiled.

“Want a reward for getting it right?” Her enticing voice entered my ears softly.

“What about the lasagne?” A smile grew on my face.

In response, she slowly got up and started getting up.

[Doki-Doki]

“I love this, and I love youuuuu!” She cried as I felt extreme stimulation throughout my body.

“I love you!” I stated my feelings back.

We both fell back tiredly on the sofa.

We opened our eyes a few minutes later to stare at each other. “I think abstaining from any sort of sex during that time increased my self-control a lot.” She said to me.

I nodded. “I know. You kept going slow even when you desperately wanted to increase the speed.” I told her with a smile as I kissed her forehead.

“But we still need to work on your willpower.” I felt her sucking on my nape.

“Are you giving me hickeys?” Instead of answering Nat just bit me.

I felt the cool sensation of her teeth mixed with her saliva. “Ow.” Nat came up and looked at me with a smile.

“Where did you learn about that biting thing?” She asked me.

“I noticed how you always love me playing with that place.” She came forward and began kissing my neck.

“Just thought of trying it out, when I saw you trying so hard for my reward/ punishment/ training.” My hands weaved into her hair.

Her kiss began moving up from my neck to my face until our eyes met. “Thank you.” *Muah* A wet peck landed on the tip of my nose.

“How about cooking naked as an extra reward for thinking this up?” I asked as I brought her head to my shoulders and cuddled her in our warmth.

“If you can add eating naked on top of it too please.” Her fingers began stroking my bareback.

“Only if I can see you like this as well.” I gave her a counter offer.

“Deal!” Strangely we sat there for a long time instead of going up to cook.

The next day we both sat down watching the news as Tony said “I am Iron Man.”

“I don’t believe it!” Natasha said in fury as she threw the cushion at the TV.

“Come on Nat, even you know deep down it was him. All the evidence are just there.” I told her.

“I don’t believe a selfish, greedy fucker like him can turn over a new leaf.” She looked angry.

“Nat just let go of the past,” I told her.

“No! That fucker nearly ruined you.” She told me in anger. I felt really happy seeing she rarely conserved her emotions anymore around me.

“And he paid for it by suffering under the hands of terrorists.” ‘Along with paying me in millions but I will save that story for another time.’

“What goes around comes around. So, please stop. I don’t want your mental state to be affected because of what happened between him and me. You might one day end up working with him.” I pleaded.

“But…” She tried to reason.

“Please for me?” I asked as I bought our foreheads to be touching each other while I looked into her eyes.

“… Fine.” She said with a sigh.

“Thank you.” I kissed her on the cheek.

We just lazed on the sofa the whole day as she laid on top of me watching the TV. “Oh my god!” She suddenly exclaimed as we were in the middle of watching a movie.

“What?” I asked as she turned around to look at me.

“I just realised it.” My heart skipped a beat and started to beat faster.

“Realised what?” 'Don't I want her to realise it? Why is my heart beating in worry so much?'

“Your laziness is starting to rub off on me.” She looked at me accusingly as if I had cheated on her.

I felt a huge relief. ‘Stop feeling this way. You should be feeling guilty, damn it!’ I told myself off.

“I used to be so active, using my spare time to learn new things for my job. Now here I am always watching TV with you during my free time.”

“Pfft! Hahaha!” I burst out laughing.

“Don’t laugh.” She pinched my cheeks.

“Okay, okay. I won’t.” I promised as I pulled her cheeks as well.

“Let go.” I liked the weird face she was making.

“No, you let go.” Needless to say, it turned into a huge waiting session of seeing who would let go of each other’s cheek.

“My cheek.” Nat rubbed her red cheeks while glaring at me.

“I think you look cute like that.” I pointed out as I went to prepare dinner.

“Yeah in return I can’t feel my cheeks anymore. Does this count as physical abuse?” I chuckled as I pulled the collar of my t-shirt down.

“Does this count as physical abuse?” It was the hickeys she gave me last night.

“No.” She grinned as she stood up and walked towards me.

“Does this count as physical abuse?” I pointed at my own red cheeks.

“No.” She hugged me.

“Then I don’t think yours is physical abuse.” I hugged her back.

“But it is. I am deeply hurt because you hurt me.” I smiled hearing her nonsense.

“So, what should I do for atonement?” I could feel the smile on her face.

Her head lifted up and looked at me. “Can we snuggle up and sleep on the sofa today while watching TV?” I was a subject to her little manipulations every now and then.

“I don’t know that sounds like a lot. Maybe I can settle it with a kiss.” I kissed her cheeks.

“I will sue you in the court of love for physical abuse.” She threatened me with her serious face.

“No don’t do that Miss Romanoff. We can surely settle this outside of court.” I played along.

“What are you offering?” A vicious grinned appeared on her face.

“Nat you are so good at acting.” I broke out of the acting to compliment her.

“There you go ruining it.” She frowned as she moved away from me.

“How about let’s carry on with the play of victim and assailant after dinner?” I walked towards the kitchen.

“Only if we are snuggling on the sofa.” I smiled as I nodded.

After dinner, we brought a duvet downstairs and laid on the sofa with her laid on top of me and the duvet on top of her.

The TV played while we talked for a while carrying on with our role-play, not the sexual kind but an actual role-play. “No, when you say something like that make sure your eyes are never looking at…” She kept teaching how to be good at acting and manipulations. We both slowly fell asleep.

*Beep**Beep**Beep* However, both of us were woken up in the middle of the night by a call. “Nat, I think it’s your phone,” I told her to which earned me a sleepy groan.

“Uhhh… you take it, Dave.” I sighed hearing this. She was really picking up my bad habits.

I kissed the top of her head and sat up, which made her get up as well. “I don’t want to go.” She clung to me tightly.

“What if it’s a mission?” I asked her.

“They know I am out of commission for a while. It’s probably nothing important.” I sighed as I stood up while Nat was like a koala bear hugging a tree, just that the species of the tree she was hugging was called David Henswick.

I carried her to the phone and answered it while placing it by her ear.

“Hello?” She asked tiredly.

“You have a mission.” Her eyes opened wide, and she got off me. I moved to the kitchen to avoid hearing what they were talking about.

After hanging up she looked at me with annoyance. “What happened?” I asked her as I drank the glass of water in my hands.

“You jinxed me.” She replied as I looked at her in confusion.

Seeing my confusion decided to make things clear. “Fury told me to prepare for an undercover at Tony’s.”

“Oh…” I did not jinx you but rather stated the possible future.
