The sensation of cold water running down my face made me jump up, only to discover Clint standing right in front of the sofa that had become my bed, an empty glass in his hand.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty"
"Do you want to die?"
“Actually, you can't kill me; not on your wedding day
Sure, my wedding day.
At first, when Y/N decided to take the next step, I thought that nothing would change, we would just be legally "couple", and so it was, for 1 year, until 3 days ago, that Steve and his stupid old ways, came up with the idea. wonderful idea to say that I couldn't see my girlfriend before the wedding because 'it was bad luck'.
I thought Y/N wouldn't be swayed by Steve's nonsense, but I was really surprised when she asked me to stop seeing each other 3 days before the wedding.
And now here I was, in a small hotel room, along with Clint and his family.
Before I could reply to Clint, Lila excitedly ran over to the couch and sat right on my lap.
“Today is the day, Aunt Nat . You are excited?"
"Yes, I'm very excited" I hugged her while kissing her forehead
"Y/N will wear a princess dress?"
“I don't know, honey. I haven't seen the dress."
"Will you wear a dress?" Laura asked while carrying Nathaniel
“Yes, it is a simple but beautiful one”
"You always look pretty" Lila spoke while playing with the glitter on her shirt
"Aww, but no one will look prettier than you" I pinched her nose making the little girl laugh
"Not forgetting Y/N" Laura suggested trying to wake up Cooper
“Not forgetting Y/N”
“Nat , you have to take a bath right now, the girl who will help you with your hair and makeup will arrive at any moment”
"That's right" I picked up Lila to get up myself. "If the girl arrives, tell her how I want the makeup, Laura, please"

The sound of my phone woke me up, even though I hadn't been able to sleep at all; I was so excited that I couldn't sit still all night.
I jumped out of bed, and left my room, knocking on Wanda's door.
"Good morning, are you ready for your big day?" Wanda opened the door with a big smile.
"I'm more than ready"
"Okay, we have to have breakfast, Pepper said she would be here in 10 minutes" we both started walking to the dining room, while Wanda just kept checking her cell phone "the makeup girl will be here in an hour and a half, and the dress would have to arrive at the same time than the girl
"Wanda, thank you very much, you are the best bridesmaid in the world" I hugged her as we got to the kitchen
"You're welcome, I'm just helping my 2 friends"
Upon entering the kitchen, we found Sam, Bucky, Vision and Thor cooking, actually only Sam was cooking, while the other 3 just watched him
"Girls, I made you breakfast, so you can do your things more efficiently."
Sam served us both a couple of pancakes.
“Thank you very much, Sam, you are a sun”
"How are you feeling today, Y/N?" Bucky asked as he drank from his mug.
“I have never felt so excited in my life. I'm literally going to marry the love of my life, the person I've always dreamed of."
Someone knocked on the door, so Wanda got up to open it.
"That's a pretty cute comment, Miss Y/N," Vision commented.
"Well, it's nothing but the truth, my dear toaster" I played with him while he finished eating
"How is our little girlfriend?"
Pepper came with millions of bags in her arms directly to give me a big hug
"Hello Pep, I'm fine, thanks"
“Actually, you're not okay, you're late. Come on, finish eating, we have to start getting ready”

“Are you ready to put on your dress?” Laura asked as we watched as the girl who had put on my makeup left the room.
"Yes"
Laura quickly handed me the dress, which was covered by a garment bag, and took it into the bathroom.
"Do you want me to help you?"
"No thanks. It's not that complicated to put on."
And it was true, it was just a long dress, white silk, with thin straps and that had a nice neckline that was a bit pronounced due to the type of fabric. Being fully dressed, I left the bathroom, so that Laura could see it.
"What do you think? Is it cute?"
“ Nat, it's beautiful, you look completely beautiful”
"Thank you" I saw how Laura's eyes began to fill with tears "Lau, please don't start crying"
"I'm sorry, I'm so happy that you've finally found someone who loves you as much as you love her" she tried to dry her eyes, moving her hands "yes, I'm getting sentimental, I don't want to imagine how they're going to cry for you your whole family. Are they coming?"
"Yes, although Melina had been busy, so they just arrived yesterday"
“She will be so happy when she sees you”
"Where are Clint and the kids?"
“We are all ready now, transport is here, I was just waiting for you to be ready. Remember that it is a 45-50 minute trip. Have everything? Aren't you going to take anything else?"
"No, I'm ready, I'll just take the flowers, and will you carry my bag and suitcase?"
"Yeah, don't worry about it"
We both left the room, closed it and got ready to go downstairs.
"Can you remind me why Y/N chose the library to do the wedding? It's literally an hour from both the tower and this silly hotel."
“Yes, it is far. But, the place is beautiful. I understand why Y/N wanted the wedding there."
We both went down the elevator, and right at the entrance, Clint was already with the kids.
“ Wow , Aunt Nat , you look so pretty,” Cooper spoke.
“Thank you very much, little one”
"Wow, Nat, you look..." Clint scratched the back of his neck trying to find the right words "you look good"
“I would say the same, but I would be lying”
"Clint, Natasha, couldn't you even behave yourself today?"
"I'm sorry, Lau" we both yelled at the same time

At first I thought it would be easy to put on the wedding dress, but it turned out that it was more complicated than it seemed, so there was my mom and Pepper trying to help me, while Wanda just sat on the bed and laughed at us.
My dress was a beautiful dress, with transparencies on the chest and sleeves, which gave the illusion of small flowers, which made the shape of the upper part of the dress, while the lower part was full of tulle, which revealed my legs from the middle of my thighs to my feet.
It was a beautiful dress, simple but beautiful; a dress that goes with small simple heels.
"Ready, finally the dress is perfect"
"How I look?" I walked so the 3 women could see the entire dress.
"You look divine. Where did you buy it?" wanda asked
“Tony and Pepper bought it for me; By the way, thanks Pepper. It's an Oscar de la Renta design."
"No problem, I couldn't help but see the sparkle in your eyes when you saw it, or how you almost cried when you tried it on"
"What do you think, mom?"
I saw how my mother started to cry, even though she was already wearing makeup
"Oh, mom, don't cry"
"Mrs. Y/M/N don't cry, remember the makeup" Wanda handed her a towel to start drying her few tears
“Oh, baby, I am so happy that you are, and I know that, with Natasha, you always will be. And I won't say anything else, because I'm going to cry."
Someone knocked on the door, and he opened it slowly.
"Is everyone ready?" Tony asked "the car is already down"
We all grabbed what we needed, while Wanda spent her time giving us orders.
“Y/N, do you have your flower bouquet?
"Yes"
"Y/M/N, are you going to bring what Y/N is going to need at the party?"
"Yes"
"Pepper, will you bring the suitcase for the honeymoon?"
"Captain Affirmative"
"Alright then, we're ready to go, now."
We left the room and went down to the ground floor of the complex, where the car that would transport me and the girls, and the car that would transport the boys, was already there.

I entered the library and the first thing I came across was Yelena 's arms , hugging me
"Don't hug me so tight, Дурак" I pushed her away "wrinkles the dress"
“For the first time in my life, I can say that you look good, Сука”
I was going to answer, but seeing how Melina almost pushed Yelena so she could hug me and seeing Alexei laughing at the brusqueness of the brunette
“мой маленький малыш, you look so beautiful” Melina took my cheeks in her hands and repeatedly kissed my forehead “we are very happy, aren't we guys?”
Both Yelena and Alexei scratched the back of their necks in discomfort, but the blow Melina gave them on the arm made them talk.
“Yes, we are very happy”
"Yes, Melina and I are very proud of you and Y/N" the man spoke
“Speaking of Y/N, where is she? I thought they would arrive together”
“It's a long story...”
"Miss Natasha?" a girl in a black shirt and blue jeans approached me
"Yes?"
"The other girlfriend is almost here, so I need you to get ready"
"Sure, thanks" the girl left "Hey man, would you like to walk me down the hall?"
Alexei paled. "me?"
"No, I think she talks to the bum outside" said Yelena
“Sure, it would be an honor”
Alexei and I walked the long corridor that led us from the entrance, with the sound of a light violin in the background, to the altar, in front of the judge. I felt that if I looked down the hall, I was starting to get more nervous, so I started looking at the guests.
I could see my friends, Tony, Clint, Steve, Vision, Bucky, Thor, Sam; They all looked so elegant, just like Pepper, Laura, Carol, Wanda. They all looked beautiful, just like Melina and Yelena .
Before I knew it, we arrived at the altar, Alexei gave me a big hug, kissed my head and left.
I wasn't even given time to get ready when all of a sudden I could see Y/N turning down the aisle to approach the altar

"Are you ready ?" asked my mother, as she linked my arm with hers.
“Yes” I took small breaths to relax “I am more than ready”
The violin played again, and that was the signal for my mother and I to start walking, so we did.
The first thing my eyes saw was Natasha, and as her eyes began to fill with tears, she quickly did her best to keep them from spilling, but without taking her eyes off me, so I also felt my eyes begin to fill tears, but I tried to hide it with a smile.
When we arrived at the altar, my mother hugged me, gave Natasha my hand, kissed her and left us alone.
"You look beautiful" she whispered with a broken voice, while kissing my hand
"You don't look so bad" I whispered causing a small smile
The judge started with the ceremony, but I couldn't stop watching it. From the first moment I realized that Natasha reciprocated my feelings, I knew that I was very lucky, but nothing compares to how lucky I am to make the legendary Black Widow want to marry me.
Being just a civil wedding, there was no need for wedding vows, which I know, Natasha was grateful. The ceremony culminated with a nice kiss between Natasha and I, to begin to leave the small room, to be able to hear Pepper scream
"Wait there, right now I'll take the photos"
So we didn't move from there and we waited for the crazy woman
"Damn it, Y/N, I hate you."
"Natasha Romanoff, is the first word you say to your wife 'I hate you'?"
“It is that, to say that you are the most beautiful thing I have seen, falls short, I will have to invent a new vocabulary to describe what you mean to me, not only your physical beauty, your emotional beauty is also included there”
"You won't make it Romanoff , I refused to cry today" we both laughed as we watched Pepper arrive "but, if you come up with that vocabulary, you'll have to help me discover your beauty"
———————————————————————————
The party had started, the music started playing, so, my friends didn't miss the opportunity to 'steal' me to dance. I was ready to be able to dance a slow song in the company of my best friend, until I felt 2 hands travel from the back of my waist to my hip
"Mrs. Romanoff , would you like to dance this piece with me?"
"Mrs. Romanoff , it would be my pleasure"
Natasha led me to the center of the dance floor and we began to swing slowly. As we swayed, I allowed myself to rest my head on her shoulder, while she did the same on the top of my head.
“This morning I was remembering a couple of things”
"As which?"
"I remembered the first time we said 'I love you'"
“Mm, I remember perfectly; you looked adorable in that cute hat”
Natasha and I were at some Walmart near the compound, trying to find the ingredients Wanda had ordered for Thanksgiving dinner. We walked through the corridors until I found something brown that caught my attention, I took it and saw what it really was
“Look Nat, a hat in the shape of a turkey”
Nat stopped looking at the cans, only to let out a big laugh when her saw my hat that was lowered little by little because of how big it was on me
"Oh honey, that's the ugliest hat I've ever seen in my life."
"What? Of course not, it's very cute"
“ малышка I bet my life that someone left it there for something”
“Just to show you what an adorable hat it is, I will be wearing it throughout our stay here”
"I will not let the person I love make a fool of himself wearing that hat"
I was going to protest, until I paid attention to her words
"You love Me?"
Natasha herself realized her words, looking at me with wide eyes.
“Well, yes, I… I wanted to tell you, but, you know, it's not… no. If you don't feel ready to reciprocate, I'll understand; sorry to bother you, you know, it's me...”
I threw myself into her arms, preventing her from finishing her rambling, just so I could kiss her nose.
“Baby, I love you too. I've been putting it away for a couple of months, but I didn't want to scare you either”
"Oh well then" she started scratching her arm awkwardly and giggling "damn, I must have looked like a fool"
“Yes, but you are a very pretty fool”
I kissed her, slowly and almost, lazily, trying to enjoy this moment, keeping it in my head, until I felt the hat lower until it covered my eyes. I snorted and that made Natasha move away only to start laughing, loud and without fear of being heard. I was going to fix the hat when a scream from the redhead stopped me.
“No! Wait, let me take a picture”
“ I still have this photo. Actually, it's the group profile picture of me and the guys."
"Than?" I pulled away from her shoulder only to see her hesitant smile "it better be a Romanoff joke , because if not..."
“What?, darling, you can't do anything anymore; You're stuck with me until the end You are completely mine" she take my waist while giving a weight to my neck
We staggered back to the beat of the music
"Thank you" I whispered
"Why do you appreciate it?"
“For everything, for fulfilling my dream of a great wedding here, for being the perfect bride, the perfect wife, thank you for being you”
I kissed her shoulder as she just kept stroking my waist and kissing my head as we danced.

The party was almost over, we'd already eaten and even nearly gotten kicked out of the library, but thanks to Tony's money, it's just a warning.
The time for the toast had arrived, and to our misfortune, the first to take the microphone was, very drunk, Thor.
"Well, I just want to say that, I speak for all the guys, when I say..." Steve, he turned to see him, almost like a meerkat; the man quickly got up and started walking to where Thor was "we never thought that someone like Y/N would end up marrying someone like Natasha... to be honest, we all wanted Y/N to notice any of us, but to look at the fearsome Black Widow , it seemed like a bad idea...”
"Yes, Thor, better go sit down" Steve interrupted making us all laugh at his little show "Now that we don't have drunks involved, I want to clarify that I WILL speak on behalf of everyone" he took out a small sheet of paper from his suit and cleared his throat.
“First, I want to let each and every one of us be totally proud and happy to see how far they have come, both as individuals, as a solid couple; As funny as it sounds, Thor has a point, we didn't think you guys would go that far, and don't take it the wrong way, it's not because anyone is a bad person, but, at first, they were so different. The fights were so disastrous that we thought the worst...”
“ Are you serious, Natalia?!” Y/N got up from the bed as she started pacing around the room
"I already told you, I forgot"
"FOR THE FIFTH TIME?!" She yelled at me while trying to throw a shoe at me "You have never taken this relationship seriously Natasha"
"What do you want of me?!" I started screaming too
“That you take this relationship seriously!” she began to cry, while she threw my shoe "whenever I want you to tell me a little more about yourself, you always avoid the subject, and now, you even avoid me, ignore my calls, ignore our dates" she began to throw more things, until that her violent crying made her stop "I just want you to love me"
“But, as time went by, their relationship improved, exponentially; not only because they love each other, despite their flaws, but also because they made, and make, the other improve as a person. I still remember the look on Natasha's face the first time Y/N helped her celebrate Halloween."
“And, is it really necessary to carve this?” I asked as I watched my adorable girlfriend carry her pumpkin in front of mine.
"Are you kidding? Of course it's necessary. What could have more fall spirit than carving pumpkins and making leftover pies? "
“Pumpkin pie ? I've never tried it”
"Well, you have a lucky day" Wanda entered the kitchen, with Steve and Tony following close behind "I have tried Y/N's cakes and they are exquisite"
"Actually, I don't need a pie to know how lucky I am to be Y/N's girlfriend" I kissed Y/N's cheek as I watched her cheeks turn red rapidly
"I don't want to drag this out" I saw how Steve wiped a tear on his cheek, while listening to a small praise Y/N, a laugh from Tony and consequently a blow from Pepper "We are all totally happy that you have fulfilled this big dream. We wish them the best, and hope they know that they can count on us for any problem. Thank you” We all clapped, as Y/N and I thanked him and the guys from a distance “I think it's the redheaded bride's turn to say a few words”
Without leaving me many options, I started to walk to where Steve was holding out the microphone for me, I took it and moved uncomfortably because of the attention placed on me.
"Well, first I want to thank everyone for joining us to celebrate this special day" everyone started clapping "now that we leave that out... I don't know how to start with this" I sighed audibly causing them to laugh "seriously, not even I remember the exact moment when my eyes saw Y/N, I only remember that, it was like seeing the sun directly, its beauty completely stunned me, I only remember that, because I was looking at Y/N, I accidentally dropped my knife on Clint's foot
"That's true!" Clint exclaimed
"But, Y/N's beauty goes beyond that pretty face, it was her way of supporting me, understanding me and loving me that makes me fall at her feet, each and every day" I looked at Y/N directly into my eyes, as I felt the tears accumulate “when I began to live, when my freedom began, I thought that love was something for the weak, something that only endangered my own integrity. And when I became aware of my feelings towards Y/N, my denial turned into insecurity, because, I thought Y/N wouldn't want to have a broken person by her side, and I was totally devastated. But as the days and months passed, I realized, Y/N was made for me, just like I'm made for her." I started sobbing, so I grabbed a napkin from the nearest table and wiped my cheeks. “Every day I thank life for giving me an angel, like Y/N” she had also started to cry “I love you Y/N, thank you for wanting to spend the rest of your life by my side; Trust me, I will do the best of me to make this decision worth every day of your life. Because I love you, and I want to do the best for you."
