James knew the mistake he’d made as soon as he did it, the familiar yet sickening sound of her shoulder popping out of place from the way he had thrown her to the ground and twisted her arm back. They had been sparring just like any other day they would train together, neither of them giving up or giving in. In terms of what she could withstand, a dislocated shoulder was nothing, but Natalia couldn’t afford to falter. She had to be perfect. All of their supervisors were there now, watching, analyzing. There were only a few girls left now, some succumbed to the mission, others to the torture their bodies were put through. Most of them though, died at the hands of the four left standing. Natalia included. She was so close to graduating, to being free of the Red Room, he couldn’t let anything happen to her now.

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod: twist and shout - the beatles, i will survive - gloria gaynor, someone like you - adele (basically the songs he likes singing out loud/are his karaoke picks)

the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep — where they’re not supposed to: he tends to fall asleep when he’s ‘getting perspective’ up in the rafters. he’s only almost fallen a couple times.

the game they’d destroy everyone else at: duck hunt

the emoticon they’d use most often: smirking side eye emoji, heart eye emoji, sleeping emoji

what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep: slow and generally annoyed at everyone and everything

their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever: coffee with a little cream, or just black if he really needs it.

how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump: he usually looks for the highest place he can find or he heads to the archery range - not that he needs it, it just soothes him

what they wanted to be when they grew up: in a family (idk sh)

their favorite kind of weather: the weather when it’s going from summer to autumn

thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?): he knows he’s terrible but that doesn’t stop him from singing out loud all the time

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod: i’ll be seeing you - billie holiday. tHAT’S IT.

the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep — where they’re not supposed to: more often than not nat wakes up to find him asleep on the ground instead of next to her. he’s glad that she stopped questioning him about it, and that she’s stopped trying to get him back into bed with her, knowing that he’d crawl back in next to her eventually. they don’t ever talk about why he doesn’t like sleeping in a bed sometimes, but he knows she’s already figured that one out.

the game they’d destroy everyone else at: disassembling and reassembling guns the fastest, everyone else except nat tho.

the emoticon they’d use most often: snowman emoji, monkey with hands over eyes emoji, old man emoji

what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep: extra quiet, he has that winter soldier ‘i’ll kill you if you look at me’ look in his eyes again.

their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever: he’s always liked coffee, but he’s started liking tea after bruce introduced him to certain types that helps him sleep better.

how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump: depending on the exact mood he’ll either work out or crawl into a bathtub and feel sorry for himself for a few hours (or until nat finds him)

what they wanted to be when they grew up: a soldier (hero) like his dad. thanks hydra.

their favorite kind of weather: SUMMER.

thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?): he doesn’t sing. but he dances rly well.

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod: when your minds made up - glen hansard & marketa irglova, do i wanna know - artic monkeys, given the chance - the kite string tangle, so good at being in trouble - unknown mortal orchestra

the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep — where they’re not supposed to: on the roof of emma’s building but that’s ok cos she’s there too 8)

the game they’d destroy everyone else at: the ‘i love you but i’m gonna pretend that i don’t even tho you want me back now’ game

the emoticon they’d use most often: side eye emoji, the one with eyes but no mouth

what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep: the usual because he rarely ever gets enough sleep thanks job

their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever: there is only coffee.

how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump: lmao. he lets himself drown in his problems bc he’s dumb.

what they wanted to be when they grew up: a musician :)

their favorite kind of weather: autumn is his fav season, but he rly loves the rain.

thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?): people like hearing him play and his album sold quite a bit so he knows he’s not terrible at least. plus emma liked hearing him sing so there’s that.

Steve could honestly say the same about her. After everything that has happened and everything that’s been happening, it was still a little hard to believe that he was able to hold onto one normal thing through all of it. Of course their relationship was anything but normal, considering one or both of them were always on the other side of the world for weeks at a time; tracking down leads and taking down Hydra bases. “Why don’t you come back to bed and dream a little longer then?
