Steve frowned, feeling that he had totally ruined everything. Ruined his chance of being with Natasha and the friendship they had built together.

I should have known better. I'm meant to be alone. I was in the past so this century shouldn't be any different. Steve thought to himself. I guess it's the one thing I can never hope to have.

"I-I'm sorry." he said casting his eyes down. "I was stupid for asking. I-I just thought...I thought that you liked me the same way that I like you. I'll leave you alone from now on. Good night, Natasha."

Steve was about to turn away to head back to his apartment when he felt his arm being grabbed and then be turned around. He then felt arms wrap around his neck and felt familiar lips press against his.

His blue eyes went wide when he realized that it was Natasha kissing him. Kissing him with such emotion, almost happy if he guessed right. Either way, he'd take it.

But just as he was about to return the kiss, Natasha pulled back and looked him straight in the eyes.

"I do like you." she said. "Very much. I have for a while but I just...I guess I wasn't brave enough to tell you. I guess I figured that because of who we are that we might not get along, let alone feel this way about each other."

Steve lightly smiled.

"Guess we sometimes take history the wrong way." he said. "Maybe we should start changing things a bit. If you'd like to, I mean."

"I would like that very much." Natasha said before pulling him down to kiss him once more.
