Soulmates
Alpha!Natasha Romanoff x Fem!Reader [A/N] No update yesterday, sorry, I got home from London on Saturday then spent the night with my bestie before going to work yesterday 😅 Back with a new fic today though - hopefully I've understood you lovely anon, thank you for the request 😘 Hope you enjoy! ❤️
“But how did you know?” Natasha had asked, in that curious tone that only a child can manage.
“You can just tell,” Melina had replied patiently. “It’s hard to explain but you just… Know.”
“What if I don’t have one?”
“Every alpha has a soulmate Natasha, even you. You’ll cross paths with them someday and you’ll just know it’s them. Wait and see.”
It wasn’t until Natasha had met you that she’d understood exactly what Melina was talking about. She’d always assumed it was bullshit, that whole ‘you can just feel it’. There must be an actual way to tell who your soulmate is. But Natasha had realised Melina was telling the truth. There was just this feeling that she’d finally found the person she was supposed to be with. It was instantaneous. For a moment Natasha’s heart had soared, knowing she’d finally found you, her soulmate. Only for it to come crashing down.
You didn’t understand the concept of soulmates. You weren’t from her world. You’d travelled across the multiverse, escaping your dying planet and finding refuge in theirs. Everyone had assumed you had the power to travel the multiverse but you didn’t. You’d been one of the few survivors of your home planet and they’d used the last of their power to transfer you to this universe. Now you were stuck there, taken in by the Avengers whilst they gathered more information.
Learning about your universe had been fascinating but it appeared that your experience of the world was very different to theirs. Alphas, omega, soulmates, none of that existed where you were from. How was Natasha supposed to explain to you that you were her soulmate? And that she couldn’t prove it to you, she was just basing this on an extreme feeling that she had.
Her plan had been to spend time with you and eventually warm you to the idea. Not wanting to overwhelm you, Natasha had gently brought up the concept of soulmates and had been surprised by your reaction. “Soulmates? So no one actually gets to choose who they want to be with? They’re just forced to be with each other?”
Natasha can hear the hint of disdain in your voice and cringes. “Well, no, there’s a choice,” She says. “But… Why would you choose anyone else? When you’ve found your soulmate?”
“Well, what if you don’t like them? Or you’re already dating someone else? Or someone says they’re your soulmate but they’re actually an abusive piece of shit?”
“No one abuses their soulmate.” Natasha remembers a stern matron from the Red Room, who showed no remorse if the girls in her care were injured or even killed during training. How terrifying she had seemed – Natasha had been certain she had no heart until she’d caught a glimpse of her with her own soulmate. The matron’s entire demeanour had softened, like she was a completely different person. It was one of the few things that had got her through the Red Room – the belief that no matter how hard they tried to turn her into a killer, her soulmate would be able to break through all of that and see her.
“It just seems a bit… Archaic. You know?” You roll your eyes and smile. “Do you know who your soulmate is?”
After a moment’s hesitation she smiles and shakes her head “No… No, I don’t know who they are yet.”
Given that had baffled you; Natasha hadn’t gone on to explain the other details of soulmates. Soulmate Rejection was too big to put on your shoulders. You seemed to think the concept of soulmates was in some way controlling. How would you react if Natasha told you that you had to get together or she’d grow so ill that she’d eventually pass away? Natasha could just picture your face. No, she wouldn’t put that on you. You’d have to figure out you were her soulmate on your own.
Easier said than done, of course. Although the illness hadn’t taken hold of her immediately, seeing you go on a date with someone had physically hurt in a way she couldn’t explain. Like a dull ache in her chest. You’ve been in this universe for eight months now; it makes sense that you want to start dating. Seeing you with someone else was one of the most difficult experiences Natasha had ever had to deal with though. It had taken everything in her not to go feral, to snarl, to hold you in her own arms, and insist you were hers. Especially since you were going out with some boring boy of all people.
Natasha is waiting for you when you get back and you sit with her in the living room, everyone else having already gone to bed. “Does everyone have a soulmate?”
Natasha shakes her head, pleased that you haven’t shut down the idea of soulmates completely. “No, not everyone. Every alpha has one, usually an omega but sometimes a beta.”
“Could your soulmate be an alpha?”
“It’s not impossible but very rare,” Natasha watches as you hug your knees to your chest, resisting the urge to reach over and touch you. “How was your date anyway?”
“Nothing special.”
“So you won’t see him again then?” Natasha asks, unable to keep the glimmer of hope out of her voice.
“Oh, no. One date was enough. Especially since… Well, I went back to his place and there was… Nothing up about him if you catch my drift.”
“Oh! You put out on the first date?”
Your firm, irritated look quickly shuts her up and she wishes she hadn’t said anything. “I’m not really looking for anything serious right now so yeah. I ‘put out’.”
“I… I didn’t mean it like that, I’m sorry.”
You take pity on her, “Don’t worry about it. I suppose my attitude must seem strange to someone waiting to meet their literal soulmate.”
Your words are light and teasing but Natasha’s cheeks still turn pink. What she wouldn’t give to hold you properly, to kiss your cheek, to inhale the scent of your shampoo. If only she could tell you. Every day that goes past is making it harder and harder not to just tell you.
“What if an alpha never meets their soulmate?” You ask Natasha. “What happens?”
Natasha’s hope always soars whenever you ask her questions about soulmates. Your curiosity makes her think you could come round to the idea one day. “Soulmates are fated to meet at some point.”
“Really? What if your soulmate lives in Australia though? Or even outer space.”
Natasha avoids your gaze “They’d meet at some point. I don’t know how it works but an alpha is always destined to cross paths with their soulmate at least once.”
“That can’t be possible though, surely? What if your soulmate, I don’t know, died before you got to meet them?”
Natasha thinks about it for a moment, “I actually don’t know. I guess… It must happen. Maybe you get a new soulmate if that happens.”
You smile “Doesn’t that rather defeat the point of a soulmate though?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well to me the concept of a soulmate is that there’s one person in the entire universe who is yours. If they die and you get assigned a new one then what was the point?”
“You’re frying my head with this. Every alpha has a soulmate, assigned to them before birth. I’ve never heard of anyone whose soulmate died before they had chance to meet them. It’s just fate.”
“Is it fate if that person is assigned to them before birth?”
This conversation is stressing Natasha out though she’s not entirely sure why. “I don’t- I don’t know-”
You grin and nudge her foot teasingly before standing up “Just food for thought. Anyway, I’m heading to bed. Night Nat.”
After that you don’t ask her any more questions about soulmates. Both of you still hang out – Natasha’s been helping you pass the time by teaching you some basic Avengers drills and she loves every second that she spends with you. How can you not feel what she feels? It’s obvious to her that you’re perfect for each other yet you don’t seem to realise.
Natasha’s illness begins to set in the following week when you go on a date every night of the week. It soon becomes clear that you’re not interested in actually staying with anybody, you just want sex. Which is fine of course – Natasha still cringes when she remembers the way she’d incredulously asked about you putting out on a first date. It’s only a problem because it’s literally beginning to kill her.
Natasha’s never known anyone to go through Soulmate Rejection before so she didn’t know what to expect. It quickly seeps into her bones, making her feel weak. Just getting out of bed takes more and more effort as each day goes by. At first being near you would make the illness a little better but eventually it stopped working. If you continued to unknowingly reject her, Natasha would surely perish.
“Are you feeling okay?” You ask one morning in the gym. “You’re looking a little pale.”
Truthfully Natasha feels like she’s been hit by a truck. Her head feels like it’s full of cotton wool, every muscle and bone in her body aches, there are bags beneath her eyes. It feels even worse than she could’ve possibly imagined. That physical pain she’d felt when she saw you go on that first date gets even worse with every new date that you go on, even causing her to double over one day.
It’s Yelena who realises what’s going on “You need to tell her.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Natasha mumbles.
“Everyone else is going to figure out you’re going through Soulmate Rejection soon. And how do you think she’ll feel if she realises she’s the reason you’re on the brink of death?”
“It might not kill me. We don’t know that it definitely will.”
“Natasha-”
“Do not tell her Yelena,” Natasha says in the firmest voice she can manage, letting out a weak cough. “I won’t put that on her. It’s not fair.”
“Natasha, please-”
“Just leave it Yelena. Don’t get involved.”
Yelena does her best to respect Natasha’s wishes but it gets even harder when Natasha deteriorates so much that she ends up in the medbay. The medical staff work round the clock but are baffled when they find nothing physically wrong with her. None of them realises it’s Soulmate Rejection – it happens so rarely that it doesn’t even cross their minds. Yelena sits by Natasha’s bedside, dabbing her hot forehead with a damp cloth, trying to keep her as comfortable as possible.
“Y/N’s asking about you,” Yelena says.
“I don’t want her to see me like this.”
“Natasha, you might not have long left. Do you really want to keep your soulmate away from you?”
“Will you keep an eye on her for me? Just make sure she’s okay. All those dates she goes on, I worry about her…”
“You’re such a martyr,” Yelena says irritably, but she can’t help taking her older sister’s hand in hers. “Please let me tell her. She deserves to know.”
“I always thought my soulmate would just know they were mine,” Natasha says. “That they would feel the same connection that I felt. Do you really think she can’t feel it?”
“Maybe she can,” Yelena says. “But she knows you’re waiting for your soulmate. Why would she say anything? Why would she date you if she thought she was going to get hurt when your ‘soulmate’ came along later down the line?”
Natasha says nothing. Yelena asks again if she can tell you and she still says no. It makes Yelena want to scream but she doesn’t dare go against her sister’s wishes.
In the middle of the night Natasha realises that she doesn’t have long left. That the Soulmate Rejection has taken its toll and she’s grown too weak to hold on anymore. Natasha tries to find some peace – she’s told Yelena everything that she wanted to. Asked her to keep an eye on you. If only Natasha could’ve kissed you, just once. Every night she’s imagined your lips against hers and it makes her heart ache even more with longing.
Even if Natasha hadn’t felt that physical pull to you she would’ve known you were her soulmate. It wasn’t just your looks – you were beautiful, everyone thought so, not just Natasha. That wasn’t just what Natasha loved about you though. You were curious, finding everything about their universe fascinating. You felt the loss of your home planet deeply, never taking for granted the sacrifice that they’d made for you. Natasha could see in training how determined you were. Many nights Natasha had stayed up long after she felt exhausted just so she could talk to you. There was nothing about you that Natasha didn’t love. You were perfect.
Natasha closes her eyes, almost looking forward to dying just so the pain will finally go away. Not seeing you has definitely made her worse. A part of Natasha knows she’s being stubborn. There may have been some truth to what Yelena said. You had spoken to her often about soulmates, maybe you thought Natasha was waiting for hers, not realising it was you. But if you didn’t feel anything for her and you got with her just so Natasha would survive… Well, Natasha would rather die. Death would be better than living with a soulmate who felt trapped.
Just as Natasha begins to think she’s slipping away she feels a hand in hers, anchoring her to this world. She groans softly, “Let me go.”
“But I still have questions.”
Her eyes open as she hears your voice. You’re sat next to her bed, your hand in hers. Is it really you or a cruel trick of Natasha’s imagination? Either way, Natasha decides she will do her best to hang on. If you’re here, she wants to be here too, “Questions?”
“How do you know when you’ve found your soulmate?”
Natasha smiles weakly at you “That’s easy. You just know.”
“But how?”
“You can just feel it. It’s hard to explain. It’s unlike anything you’ll ever experience.”
“So you do know what it’s like to meet your soulmate? You’ve met yours?”
Natasha sighs and nods “Yes. I met mine.”
“What happened?”
“She didn’t realise she was my soulmate.”
You squeeze her hand “Yeah? You didn’t wanna tell her?”
“How could I? She didn’t believe in soulmates.”
Neither of you says anything for a long moment. Natasha’s breathing is laboured; it has been for the past couple of days. Every breath feels like a huge effort. Natasha can’t even lift her head from the pillow anymore, she’s too weak. Eventually you meet her gaze “I’ve been doing my own research about this whole… Soulmate thing. It’s such an insane concept to me. Soulmates was a term used in my reality but we didn’t know if it was real or not. You all seem so convinced it’s true though. Well, you’re not convinced, you know it’s true.”
Natasha doesn’t reply, happy to just listen to the sound of your voice. You squeeze her hand again “I read about what happens if your soulmate rejects you. You never told me about that.”
“It’s rare.”
“But not impossible. For an alpha to be rejected by their soulmate, whether knowingly or unintentionally. And then the alpha gets sick. Is that correct?”
“I suppose so. I’ve never known it to happen to anybody.”
“Nat…”
“I kept thinking about what you said. About how nobody gets to choose. And I would want my soulmate to choose their partner. I wouldn’t want them to feel like they were stuck with me.”
“It’s not a fair choice if they don’t have all the information to make an informed choice.”
“Y/N-”
Your voice cracks, “Please. Is it me, Nat?”
“Y/N, I… I can’t…”
“Because all those late night talks, the way your fingers would brush against mine, the electricity, the spark… I felt drawn to you almost immediately. Only to find out there were soulmates and you were still waiting for yours. And I just figured, how could it be me? How could it have been decided before you were born that it would be me? I’m not even from this planet, let alone this universe… How could anyone have possibly predicted that?”
“I don’t know,” Natasha says quietly. “Fate is just weird sometimes I guess.”
“Well who am I to argue with fate?”
Natasha’s breath falters completely when you lean down and kiss her. Finally, after all these months, you’re finally kissing her. Just like that feeling when she’d first laid eyes on you, it’s nothing like she could’ve ever imagined. Better than anything she’d ever predicted. Your lips feel so sweet against hers. She wishes she had the energy to reach out and wrap her arms around you.
When you pull away, you lean your forehead against hers “You should’ve told me.”
“I didn’t want to burden you.”
“Being with you isn’t a burden Nat. Not to me.”
Natasha can already feel herself getting stronger. Like the fairytale ‘Sleeping Beauty’, your kiss seems to have revived her. Not instantly, she still feels wretched but she has a little bit of strength now – seems you’re the only remedy she needs. “Stay with me?”
“I’m not going anywhere. Not until you’re back on your feet.” You press a kiss to her knuckles. “I’m yours.”
Natasha closes her eyes again, reassured that you’re not going anywhere. If you hadn’t chosen to visit her tonight, it would’ve been too late. Natasha knows that. She knows that she was slipping away, that it was going to be her final night. But you’d chosen tonight. Almost as if it were fate. Now Natasha will live. And with her soulmate by her side, it will be worth it.
