✵

it had been a long, tiring day, yet neither you or your girlfriend could sleep. you both lay in bed with your head against her chest as you two simply talk about anything and everything.

“do you ever wish you could leave the avengers and start over?” you randomly ask. natasha looks down at you before answering.

“sometimes”, she replies, “but i know i wouldn’t do a single thing if it meant you weren’t there by my side.

you look up at her, suddenly getting emotional at her sentiment. “i love you”, you say with watery eyes.

“i love you too” she says while leaning down to kiss your forehead, “with everything in me”.

i hope you have the happiest of birthdays, my love.
