In response to those rare times posts hit over 5000, something needs to be retconned into an existing timeline, or anything else, comment here with a starter/continuation and I will get back to you.

Relevant to [community profile] teleios at the moment. Memes or psls are also welcome here.

Even I'm not that good

Just one question though: Did someone request a Female Body Inspector?

I'll meet you in the usual place

[ it's so easy to joke, but there's a part of her that isn't kidding. she thinks she needs to see him right now, like it might clear up all the confusion somehow just to lay her eyes on steve. ]

[ she steps out of the shadows fluidly as always, taking down her hood and looking a bit flushed, like she'd been running. unmistakable relief fills her eyes when she takes him in, but suddenly she feels nervous. she's never felt nervous around steve before. ]

Hey stranger. [ she taps her elbow against his and smiles softly. ]

[ she takes a second to mull that over, and as if realizing something important she leans forward to hug him. ] They are now.

[ nat squeezes her eyes shut for just the second he squeezes her. and for that moment, everything is okay. when she opens them again... she forgets how to breathe, stumbling over an inhale as he somehow manages to apologize for something that isn't his fault yet again. she scrubs a hand over her face and takes a step back. ]

The thing is... it kind of is your place. [ that came out wrong. she swallows, dials it back. there's so much noise in her head she can barely hear herself speak. ] We've been over this before, okay, I know, but... for most of my life, I wasn't a very good person.

[ her voice wavers but her gaze stays trained on his. she's determined to get this out. it's eating her up on the inside. ] Actually, I was kind of a. A bad person. And sometimes I forget, Steve. I honestly forget that I'm a real person now. On the books. I exist, and my actions have real consequences in the real world.

[ his unwavering patience and faith in her is overwhelming at times like these. be someone better. he makes it sound so simple. ]

You're not. Too stern. [ nat shakes her head, taking a step back towards him. ] You're... just the right amount of stern. [ she musters up a tiny smile for him, trying to hang onto her courage for just a moment longer. there are so many things she needs to say now, but they stick in her throat. ] Thank you. [ is all she manages in an equally tiny voice, looking up at his face from a much closer proximity now. ]

[ it's hard not to notice his demeanor shifting, and it's beyond welcome. there's nothing else she'd rather do than bridge the gap and-- but she's gone about this all wrong. accidentally friendzoned steve and now, what? set him up as the rebound? she shakes her head even if it's a response to what's going on inside rather than what he said. what he said makes her heart skip a beat and her pulse quicken even more. it's hard not to notice how close their faces are now. ]

You're too good to me. [ her mouth goes dry. he's too good for her too. this is a stupid plan. she should make an excuse and go, but she doesn't. instead, he reaches out a hand and places it gently on his arm. ]

[ deserve. it isn't about deserving. but he really believes she's different. does she? ]

I... [ she can't do it, she can't stop herself. natasha was always perfectly in control of everything she did... until steve. and now it's all getting away from her. ] I'm going to do something a little reckless.

[ that's all the warning he gets before her fingers tighten around his arm and her lips seal over his. ]

[ she makes a small, involuntary noise against his lips when he kisses back. it isn't politeness or even being caught off guard, she can feel the difference. steve kisses her with intention, the same way she did him. her fingers tighten on his arm, already dreading the part where they break apart, a shiver pulling up her spine at the way he palms her waist. natasha draws out the kiss for as long as she can, but even supersoldiers need to breathe apparently, how inconvenient.

her own breathing is so loud; the rush of blood in her ears and the pound of her heart almost drowning out his question. but she registers it belatedly, giving him a look somewhere between hurt and confused, even if she doesn't blame him for doubting her sincerity. how couldn't he really? ]
Because I wanted to. [ she licks her lips absently, tasting him residually as her eyes zero in on his lips all over again, swollen and enticingly red. ]

[ she draws in a sharp take of breath at the almost ticklish way he pulls off his hand. she misses the contact instantly. ]

Because... [ she steels herself, wondering if he's ready for this twist. she knows she isn't. ] Because there was never another guy.
