Nat is just smirking

[natalia_romanova]

Ready for the deluge?

It's on it's way. Dozens of me...well a version of me, running around. I know this will sound out of character but, I think it'll be fun. Admit it, you'll be at least a little amused to follow that others. I think there's a lot of creativity out there, it should be worth watching.

I can't wait, oh and you did pre-order the tickets for us so that premier will be fun too. Be sure not to forget those special little accessories, you'll be adorable.

After all this settles down, we go back to normal. I still have issues with you.

[cold_shoulder]

Issues, huh?

[natalia_romanova]

It's flattering don't you think? I'll be in high demand.

[cold_shoulder]

You mean there are times when you aren't in high demand? Some people need to work on their appreciation.

[natalia_romanova]

[Ok, that made her chuckle]

You'd be amazed, it happens. I don't take it personally though, what sort of agent would that make me if I did?

[cold_shoulder]

Unreliable, which you never are. But I can be miffed on your account.

[natalia_romanova]

Tell you what, promise me that you'll never lack in appreciation for me and we'll call it even.

[cold_shoulder]

I can do that.

I mean, I can be an idiot, but never that much of an idiot. Not to appreciate you.

[natalia_romanova]

You're not an idiot. Bull headed, strong willed, stubborn, entirely too willing to risk yourself yes...an idiot no.

[Corrective love tap the shoulder, the flesh one.]

[cold_shoulder]

*and he reaches to catch her hand, squeezing her fingers slightly* All right, I think I can live up to those.

[natalia_romanova]

You do it well. [her fingers moved quick, but just to entwine with his.] You always we're trying to teach me to watch for blocks.

[cold_shoulder]

*and he brings up their hands to kiss her knuckles* And then the whole who-teaches-who situation got more complicated. In a way that I hadn't dreamed of and I still consider myself... blessed. And thankful to you for starting.

[natalia_romanova]

James, you're getting sentimental. I was...young back then; a different person almost. You are one of the few things I can look back on and feel good about.

[cold_shoulder]

That all kind of goes for both of us, back then.

*small kiss, just because* I won't be doing the sentimental thing a lot, promise.

[natalia_romanova]

Oh don't get me wrong, it's cute. You're so serious most of the time it's nice to see you relax once and a while.

[cold_shoulder]

... *blink* Does that mean I have to work on doing it more then?

[natalia_romanova]

It means you need to keep being you, the rest will just fall into place.

[cold_shoulder]

*low and soft* Yes, ma'am.

*slow, real smile. And then, perfectly imitating the fakeRussian accent from the recent movie - he's been catching up* I can do zat.

[natalia_romanova]

[You're ruining her, stop it. No one else melts away the ice and shows that core of her true emotions like he does. One of the few people she can be sure she has true feelings for and isn't acting on preprogramed feelings to get close to for plans of someone else.


Also a punch to the shoulder.]

English, I need the practice.
[and all she'll do is grin, the words taking her back..well a long, long time.]

[cold_shoulder]

*yeah, he has no answer for that. No answer for the way that request, simple as it is, turns his head.

So he'll do the other thing. The kissing thing.*

[natalia_romanova]

[It's not exactly language, but it communicates all the same. Natasha melted into that kiss like she had for decades...they give long term relationship a whole new meaning.

This is good; the kissing, the closeness, the truth of it. The one man, and possibly only man, she could be sure she cared for of her own free will. So the kissing and then the reaching for the light and flipping the switch off to leave them in undisturbed darkness.]
