I’ll Be Home For Christmas - Natasha Romanoff (Day Seven)
Summary: When Steve sends Natasha on a mission, she may not make it home in time for Christmas... or does she? Pairing: Natasha Romanoff x Reader Word Count: 425 Warning(s): two Russian words(тыква = pumpkin, моя любовь = my love), happiness, etc
Prompt(s) Used: “I’m still sad you won’t be home for Christmas.”
“I’m still sad you won’t be home for Christmas,” she sighed into the phone.
“I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you after I get home I swear,”
“Nat, babe, it’s not your fault. If anything, I blame Steve,”
She didn’t want to blame Steve, really. He shouldn’t have sent Natasha on a mission two weeks before Christmas. It should have been one of those quick-in-and-out missions. But even criminals don’t take breaks on Christmas Eve.
“тыква, it’ll be okay,”
“I know, I know,” she whispered as she frowned. “As much as I’d like to stay on the phone and chat, I’m tired and want to go to bed.”
“Goodnight, моя любовь,”
“Goodnight Natasha, I love you,” she pulled the phone from her face and hit disconnect. Sighing, she crawled under the covers. Christmas wouldn’t be the same without Natasha by her side.
The next morning, she stretched her arms out, hoping Natasha was there. To her disappointment, she wasn’t. But on Nat’s pillow on her side of the bed was a note. ‘Strange,’ she thought. Picking the note up, she started to read it.
Dear y/n,
If you see this, that means I didn’t make it back in time for Christmas. Words can’t even begin to explain how sorry I am for not being there. When I get back, we’ll take one of the quinjets, go somewhere totally isolated, and have it just be the two of us. A nice, romantic vacation away from it all.
Love,
Natasha xoxo
Setting the note back down on the pillow, she tossed the covers back and headed for the kitchen. But before reaching the kitchen, she heard the voice of her lover, Natasha.
“So does she know you’re here?” she heard Steve ask.
“No, she was fast asleep I when placed the note on the pillow,”
“I can’t wait to see her reaction when she finds out you’re here,”
Turning into the kitchen, she faced Steve and Natasha. “Well, you won’t have to wait long, Steve,” she felt the tears build up. “Nat... you’re home.”
“Yeah, I am,”
She was slow to walk over to Natasha, as she was still in shock that she was home for Christmas. Natasha grabbed her and brought in for a hug, running her hand on the back of y/n’s head.
“You said you wasn’t going to be home,” she said, smacking Natasha’s shoulder.
“Yeah, I know, but I wanted to surprise you,”
“Consider me surprised,” she smiled, giving Natasha a passion-filled kiss. “I’m so happy you’re home for Christmas.
Why do I put myself through all this stress? Like, why? I hope you guys enjoy cause at this point my brain is mush. That two week break can’t come any faster.
6 Days until Christmas
