Kiss + 1
𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐓 𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄 . she wants to scream until she grows hoarse , to shed tears she’s never allowed herself to . she wants to mourn the ruins of their relationship but she is blinded by anger ; anger at herself , mostly . she’s always ruined every little good thing that has managed to edge its way into the shattered remains of her life . typical natasha !
and as they stand there , the unforgiving rain sleeting down in what she can describe as only the most cliche of circumstances , the exterior seems to fade away . the world around them muddles beneath the streams of freezing precipitation and there he stands , crystalline clear above all else . her jaw clenches , she blinks hard beneath the showers . she barely notices that her frame shakes now , uniformed black soaked through due to her persistent stubbornness . nothing , not the rain , not even a god damned hurricane , would move natasha romanov . ( let the empire crumble around her , the woman who will not be moved )
it happens quickly but fervently , with such haste that it knocks the literal breath out of her throat . she could build a home in his embrace — hell , she has . but she burned that home to the ground ; the widow be damned , skilled at destruction is she . she clutches at him with desperation , how her bones have yearned for him , how her chest has ached with longing .
and amongst a furiously ardent and slightly wistful kiss , her lips part with a subtle ❝ fuck you matt murdock . ❞ but god , does she love him all the same .
