For I have Kissed Thee a Thousand Times
Kiss in the Rain
Together we stand
As the rain begins to fall
And holdin' our hands up high
As the sun shines through it all
She looks like a kid let loose in a candy store. Her eyes are sparkling jade with a hint of gold around the irises as her eyes flip between yours and the sky. Tony had told you earlier in the common room that there was going to be a meteor shower tonight. As soon as Natasha heard about the meteors, she'd immediately turned to you with a huge ass smile on her face. So, here you stand, on a clear night with your girl at your side, looking like she's about to bounce right off of the roof.
You blink as something splatters on your forehead. She laughs, a loud throaty chuckle that makes your heart clench. It's been almost a year since SHIELD came crashing down around you, six months since you ended your search for Bucky and found your way back home… Back home to the one place you'd never really left. Three months since she accepted you as more than a partner and friend in her life.
Rain begins to fall harder, making you blink and look back down at her.
"Do you want to go inside?" you ask. You're standing outside on the terrace where Thor and Loki once battled. It reminds you of how all of this started. How you first saw her on the Helicarrier, looking gorgeous. And every day since she just gets more and more beautiful.
"Just wait." She laughs, turning around and pressing her hands to your chest. Her hair is beginning to curls again, although you don't know why she insists on straightening it. "It'll clear up soon." You look up. The stars are shining bright, even though you're in the middle of New York City. They're reflected in her eyes as she continues to stare up at the infinite universe.
And, even though your girl is being unusually optimistic—something she's only been doing since she found herself all those months ago.
The clouds are thin, allowing you to see the stars if you blink enough times to get the water out of your eyes. "I don't think it's going to, Nat…" You trail off when you feel her pull away from you. With wide eyes, the Russian spy spins around, dancing in the rain. You watch the red drip from her ledger and cover the balcony before washing away over the sides. She's being cleansed by the water and your heart soars to think that you are able to witness such a scene.
She beckons you over and, when you reach her, she wraps her arms around your neck and you wrap yours around her waist. "Dance with me," she whispers against your neck. You swallow hard but nod all the same.
So you stand there, the former Black Widow in your arms, swaying from side to side. It isn't really dancing and it isn't just standing still either. Her eyes glow in the darkness and you tilt your head up as she does and, together, you watch as meteors streak across the sky. You know that the rest of your team is inside, enjoying the Asgardian mead Thor brought back with him.
But you'd rather be out here, soaking in the sight of the once fearsome assassin giggling and laughing you dancing with you in the rain.
"Steve?" her question is a whisper against your chin.
"Yeah?"
"Promise me…" she trails off and you can't tell if the water streaming down her cheeks is rain or something else. She traces your jawline and around your lips, her eyes soft and almost… scared. "Promise me this is forever."
You smile at her, squeezing her just that little bit tighter, and lean down to whisper against her lips, "I promise." She surges up on her tiptoes and smiles against your lips, a soft kiss turning more and more demanding as time goes on. It is a moment you will cherish for the rest of your life.
Three weeks later, she's waking up in the hospital after a mission. Her eyes are wide and she brings her knees to her chest and blinks at yo with distrusting eyes. The words that spill out of her mouth crack and shatter your heart, making tears spring to the back of your eyes.
"Who are you?"
As the rain begins to fall

Notes
So, in case you don't understand, Natasha lost her memory and only remembers her life up until a little bit before they unfreeze Steve. But, in her dreams she relives some of those memories. The idea for this scene came from Damon and Elena's kiss in the rain from Vampire Diaries. Love that show! Also, the italics are meant to be Russian, but I don't know Russian.Please don't forget to review and vote for the next kiss!
