This is for @aquajules who requested a married Steve & Natasha of @thegraytigress’ HotS Cloud Cover. I’m so sorry honey, I know you asked for this last year but took me so long to finish it. I've no other excuse other than life’s been really really busy for me. I thought I couldn’t finish it but then I couldn’t just let it go. Would be a waste to drop it, right? Anyway, thank you, thank you for popping into my inbox and for requesting the same. I really hope you like it! :) And of course thanks to amazing Maggie for continuing to share us her amazing stories as always! :) P.S. Happy 2017 y’all!!!
Heart of the Storm series Cloud Cover: Chapter 16
The sliding doors at the other end of the helipad opened. Everyone stopped talking and turned around. Steve looked up. Natasha was there, hesitating at first but only for a moment. She was dressed in white, a simple gown made of silk and organza in soft, sheer layers that flowed behind her when she walked. Her shoulders were bare save for two thin straps, the cut of the bodice alluring but chaste, and the dress somehow hugged her slim form in all of the right places while draping around her. She wasn’t wearing a veil, just her hair loose and free in the breeze. She was stunning, graceful and pure, pure despite who she was and what she’d done. Purity for him, honesty and openness. Angelic, but wild and somehow untamed. Everything she was. And when she met his gaze, she smiled timidly. He smiled back.
She came across the way, carrying bouquet of autumn flowers. Tony, Sam, and Thor moved aside so she could stand next to Steve. And she did, smiling more confidently now that she was there with him. She handed her bouquet to Stark, who looked surprised but didn’t complain, and took both of Steve’s hands in her own. “Ready?” she asked softly.
He could hardly find his voice. “Yeah. You?”
It was like any other day, like a thousand before this, the moments prior to a mission or just as they left his apartment to go out or when they headed into a battle. “Yeah.”
