ROLEPLAY HQ - caged-bird

Natasha Ivonov had always known her father, Alexander Ivonov, to be a hardworking and honest man. He ran a small bakery in the heart of New York and Natasha spent her days helping out and dreaming of her own future as a pastry chef. Their life was simple yet filled with love and laughter until one fateful day that would change everything. It started with her father coming home late one evening, his usually jovial expression clouded with worry. Natasha could sense that something was wrong, but nothing could have prepared her for what her father would confess that night. Alexander sat Natasha down and with a heavy heart, told her the truth. He had fallen into debt with a powerful mafia organization that controlled much of the city's underworld. The debt had started innocently enough when he needed a loan to expand his bakery, but as the interest rates skyrocketed, he found himself in a situation he could not escape from. Feeling desperate and with few options left, Alexander made the dangerous decision to seek help from the most influential Don in the mafia world, Giovanni Romano. The Don was known for his ruthlessness but also for his sense of honor and loyalty to those who showed him respect. In a bold move to save himself and his family, Alexander offered the Don a deal - in exchange for wiping out his debt and ensuring their safety, he would promise the hand of his beloved daughter Natasha to the Don's eldest son, Luca -

5:58 AM

Natasha was stunned and horrified by her father's words. She felt a mixture of anger, betrayal, and fear at the thought of being bartered off like a piece of property to a man she had never met. But she also saw the desperation in her father's eyes and knew that he had acted out of love and a desire to protect his family Natasha couldn't believe what she was hearing. She stood up, her hands trembling with a mixture of emotions. "Father, how could you do this? How could you make such a deal without even consulting me?" she cried out, her voice wavering with hurt and anger.her Russian accent subtle Her father reached out a hand towards her, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Natasha, I never wanted this for you. You are my precious daughter, and I would do anything to keep you safe. Please understand, I was backed into a corner with no other options," he pleaded, his voice cracking with emotion. Tears welled up in Natasha's eyes as she struggled to process the harsh reality that her father was facing. She knew he had always put their family first, but this sacrifice felt too great, too degrading. "But Father," she choked out, "I cannot bear the thought of being sold off to a man I do not love. Is this really the only solution?" Alexander bowed his head, his heart heavy with guilt. "I know, my dear. I know this is not what you deserve. I had hoped to shield you from this harsh world, but I have failed you. Please forgive me," he whispered, his voice filled with remorse, when they were interrupted with a loud knocking on their door.. as Alexander went to open the door, as the Don and two bodyguards entered the small apartment complex -

6:03 AM

"Your are going to come with me to my hometown and marry my son" Mr. Romano says calmly as if it doesnt change her life "Dad I dont want to" she sob slightly, attempting to stand her ground. "What your going to let them take me? No! no! I protest" she backed up only for the man that was once outside grip her arms in a hostile hold "STOP!" He begins to take her out the door, her cries are useless, she trashes and scream in the mans arms until he hits her so hard my vision blurs and I fall into darkness.. The guards and the Don would enter the car, driving back to their hometown. A good 3 hours from where Natasha lived. As they arrived at the beautiful mansion, the guard, Raphael that knocked out Natasha would pick her up and carry her over his shoulder as they left the car, and headed towards Lucas room, as he carefully laid her down in bridal style. As Giovanni, the Don would head to where Luca was “Luca” he spoke gruffly “your future bride awaits for you in your room” he spoke.. with a wicked smile it wasn’t until she heard the noises faintly from outside the room when Natasha regained consciousness, a soft groan heard as she opened her eyes and looked around her surroundings wondering where she was, as her eyes feel upon Raphael.. a familiar face, she’d panic immediately scrambling to sit up..until the door opened.. her panic stopping as she felt a lump in her throat..

6:03 AM

@Blue Beetle blobheart

Luca was in a office that was his own. he sat behind a large oak and cherry wood desk that held all the papers that he was currently working on. his eyes were focused but his mind wasnt. a few days ago his father came to him to let him know that he would be marrying a women. luca knew that he would be handed off to marry someone but that thought was lost to just time. Luca was a 29 year old who works under the Don. his father. Luca was the eldest of three children. it was him, his sister Lucy, and his younger brother Sam. The three of them were all helping thier father in some way..but Luca was the most hands on with the underground section of the family. Luca was a tan skined, 6'5 tall man that had a clean beard that was clean and neat. his eyes were dead and empty. in this office he had papers from every thing that he was working on. he takes a deep breath as a knock comes to his door. "come in." he says as he looks up and sees his father. Luca stands and takes a deep breath "father.." his eyes look at the man. he listens to his father and nods "yes sir.." he grabs his jacket coat and moves to go to his room. he was wearing a simple black and white suit. his neck tattoos poking out of his shirt. he takes a deep breath as he opens the door and looks at the women. he voice was deep but empty "raphael. leave us." he takes a step aside from the door as the gaurd leaves. Luca closes the door and moves to the women. his eyes were staring at the women as he looks down. "hello. my name is luca. you are apparently my new wife.." he says as he fixes his suit. "get up." he growls as he watches her. he was standing over her as he takes out his phone to check his phone before he sighs and looks at her "what is your name.."

6:18 AM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Nat would stare at the man at the doorway. 6’5, tan, well put together, and clearly way older than her. She started to feel nervous, as her body froze. Her eyes watched as Raphael left, closing the door behind the two, and as he started to approach her, Natasha would fumble, falling back on the bed afraid However she’d maintain that eye contact as he introduced himself, staring at his empty but beautiful eyes.. snapping out as he growled get up. Natasha would immediately straighten herself and get off his bed, standing next to it, she was about 5’4, a slender frame as her hands were in front of her. She’d be wearing a black flowly dress that was slightly above her knees, just by looking at her you could tell she was no younger than 21. She looked down at the ground, feeling his piercing gaze on her, it was intimidating least to say “Natasha..” she spoke softly, a quiver in her voice. As there was a moment of silence between the two.. as she took a quiet deep breath in and exhaled, she looked up to Luca, her eyes a hazel/green color filled with fear and anxiety “Natasha Ivonov” As she looked past him and towards the door, the words new wife finally hitting her as she’d rub her arm

6:52 AM

@Blue Beetle

He looks at her and hums softly before looking at the door then back. “Well. Natasha. You will have rules you have to follow here. One. You run out any door without me or a guard. You will be shot.” He say. His voice strangely calm. “You will follow whatever I say and don’t talk back.” His eyes looking at his watch. “And you will never go into my office. The only rooms you are allowed in is this one, the library, kitchen and living room. Maybe if you are good..” he makes her look at him. “You will get access outside in the garden.” He lets go of her chin before turning away. “Come.” He says. He didn’t like this. He didn’t want a wife. He wanted to be in control. He didn’t want to have someone else he had to worry about taking that control from him. He couldn’t deny that she was pretty but he didn’t care. He didn’t care if she was a super model. She was still a livability. He opens the door and looks her. He was waiting for her to follow him. “You will get a new set of clothes and everything. You will not go without. You should have everything tonight.” He knew his father could care less about what she was given. But Luca wasn’t a complete monster

7:00 AM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂 (sorry it is short! On my phone!!)

Nats eyes widen at the first sentence he said as she gulp harshly, looking at him with a are you serious look. The second one 'dont talk back' as Natasha would fold her arms, now giving him a are you kidding look. What kind of marriage was this going to be! "And if I disagree with your saying.. then what?" she asked curious, clearly it seemed like the two were going to butt heads alot, so she wanted to know ahead of time what the consequences were going to be if she spoke back. Nat would listen to what he had to say but it was visable she was in her own little world, just trying to process everything.. until he made her look at him She flitched as he grab her chin, looking at him as he spoke about if she was lucky she could get access to the garden. As he let go, the young lady would rub her chin, nodding rapidly, her eyes darting, looking at him scared he was going to grab her again out of the blue. The hope in her eyes dying as he laid down the strict rules, a life of confienment it felt like. Being told where to go, having to be good to gain access to places.. shed sigh quietly as she felt the tears in her eyes forming "come" he spoke as Natasha would follow him like an obedeint little puppy "where are we going--" she asked as he spoke about her getting new clothes As he opened the door shed step out and looked down the hall, and then back up to him, the though of a new wardrobe was appealing, clearly since she didnt have anything that she needed here, just the clothes on her. As Natasha nodded and looked back up at him, tilting her head slightly back to make sure she was maintaining the eye contact ".. are you the one who will be taking me..?" she asked feeling like that was a dumb questionn, but he didnt specify who was talking her shopping since she couldnt go alone @Blue Beetle (all good !)

he looks at her and says "if you do not follow these rules. your life will become a living hell." his voice as calm as still water. he walks down the hall and to the living room/ kitchen area. this hosue was huge. it had mulitple kitchens and living rooms. this one was the oen that Luca used the most. "i will not be going. a gaurd and maid will take you to get clothes. however they will only take you to shops i pick." he knew this was harsh. but this was the only way that he had control. "i pick out where you buy clothes adn if i have to. what you wear." he growls the last part to really show her he wasnt playing. he takes a deep breath as he moves to the living room and says "this is the living room you are allowed to be in. you can watch any tv and eat any food. there will be three meals cooked for you. the first starting at 9am, lunch at 12pm, and dinner at 7pm. then you will go and get ready for bed and you may wait here or in the bedroom." he pulls out his phone as he answers a call. "SÌ? cosa vuol dire che è lì? OK. puoi trattenerlo? sono nel bel mezzo di qualcosa... sarò lì presto per dargli la lezione. Non preoccuparti." yes? what do you mean that he is there. ok. can you hold him. i am in the middle of something...i will be there soon to teach him the lesson. dont worry. "i have to go in a moment to deal with something. also i work during the week and are free during the weekends. i dont care if you like me or not. dont get in my way and do what i say is all i ask." he says harshly. "i have some clothes coming for you to get your closet started till you are taken to get other things. also you will be required to come with me to events. you will wear the dress i pick out for you and do your hair how i want."

9:21 AM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Shed looked around the living room and kitchen in awe, it was huge something she was not used to. The decoration antique and beautiful, defiently imporated from all around the world. As she turned her attention back to him. Natasha nodded not minding, afterall she didnt know this town "Okay" she softly said Her eyes slightly widen as he continued on about picking out her clothes and what to pick, a scowl formed on her face as she wanted to say something but stopped herself biting her lower lip seeing how he was serious about this. Natasha sighed hoping he didnt hear that as they swiftly moved to the living room, shed looked around the living room "Its lovely.." shed mumbled to herself Shed then looked back at him as he took the call, raising a subtle brow, Italian.. shit was this something she was going to have to learn? As he hung up the call Natasha would stiffen up and furrow her brows hearing his words. It was like a dagger in her heart, obivously she didnt like him, she didnt even want to be here and now having to live by strict rules made it all worse, as shed mumbled to herself in Russian "otlichno, ok" Great, ok *As he left to take his call, Natasha would wipe the tears that came down her face, sniffling softly as she was escorted back to their room, changing into the outfit he had in her closet. Leggings and a sweater, as she changed into those and then left with the guard and the maid the car ride to the shop was least to say, awakard, as she looked out the window, numb. The guard driving the black cadallic to the stores, as the maid sat in the back with her. The maid looked at her concerned, but knew it was best to not say anything. As they pulled up to the first clothing store, the guard would park the car and open the door for Natasha and the maid, as they walked in.

The store filled wth modest clothings, more mature like sweaters, cardigans and dresses jeans etc. As shed looked around she picked out some skinny jeans, and leggings. Some cute tops and crop tops and pajamas as they checked out. The second store just a shop of elgant dresses, defiently mafia style dresses as she picked out a couple of dresses she adored, as she looked at the guard and the maid who looked at her.. as shed sigh "fine." she said as she put away the cut out dress she found and picked out some the guard and maid approved since they knew his style Before arriving home, Natasha would change into an outfit she had bought, a gray sweater/cardgian and a black skirt with high knee boots. As they arrivied at the mansion the guard would open the door once more and let the two ladies out of the car. As they walked in. the maid leaving to go do her other duties as the guard escorted her to their room, as Natasha walked in the room, the guard left closing the door as she would walk to the closet putting away her new clothes, humming to herself

11:28 AM

@Blue Beetle (Her outfit shes currently wearing when she came back shopping!)

he would leave her and goes to a werehouse. for the next few hours he was gone. the room was a large one. it had a king bed, two side tables, a small desk that she could use to get ready, a walk in closet (one sidde for her and one for him) a large bathroom with a tub and shower and a double sink. the door would slam as luca came back. his eyes dark, his hand bruised and bloody. blood on his shirt and suit. he moves his room forgetting that she was there. her pulls off his shirt before turning and looking at her. his eyes dakren as he stands there. she would be able to see his tattoos and scars. his tattoos were covering his chest and back. he was also built. he took care of himself. he takes a deep breath as he looks at her and moves to the bathroom. he cusses in itlian and slams the bathroom door shut. he pretty much stays there for a hour or so, calming down and washing the blood off. once he was done he wraps a towel around his waist and moves out the bathroom and to the closet. he looks over her clothes she had picked before grabbing pants and a shirt. he walks out and looks at her "show me the outfits. on"

2:01 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Shed snap out of reality, hearing the door slam as she jumped, and stepped out the closet, looking at him hyperventilating with anger. Her eyes widen as she stare at his bloody hands and bruised knuckles as she gasp quietly with fear “Chto, chert voz'mi, proizoshlo” what the hell happened she said to herself as she wanted to help, but she watched him storm off into the bathroom. Blinking a couple of times, trying to get the imagine out of her head as she turn back to organizing her wardrobe she finished in about 20 minutes as she paced around the room waiting for him to finish. As a hour finally passed and the door opened, she’d see the steam escape the bathroom as she turned her gaze away from him as he was in a towel, trying to be respectful, as he passed by her she’d get a wiff of the sandalwood wash as he’d grab clothing to put on “Show me the outfits. On” he spoke as Natasha would look at him a bit dumbfounded.. as she nodded slightly “uhm- o-ok.. well this is one..” she said as she’d turn back and closed the door to change, doing this 3 times.. as she didn’t want to show everything.. she’d step out wearing the last dress, something she loved.. as she’d fiddle with her sleeves “uhm.. there’s many more like ball dress.. and uhm.. pajamas.. and you know..” her voice trailed off @Blue Beetle

He looks at her as he watches her. His eyes didn’t seem to change. His was also breathing hard. He takes a deep breath and sigh before nodding “those are fine.” He says before turning away and saying “come dinner.” His hand was still slightly bleeding as his knuckles were bruised and busted. He opens the door before moving down just expecting her to follow. He moves and sits at the dinner table as food is brought out. It was a spread of things “you can tell the chef what you like and don’t. “ he says as he grabs some food and starts to eat. His eyes were dark and his brows drawn in. He growls softly as he rubs his eyes and just wants to sleep. He was sore from fighting and beating up people and his knuckles stung. He would be brought a cup with whiskey in it before he drinks it and sighs.

2:28 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

She smiled softly as he approved them, tho in her head she was annoyed he had to. She’d look back down to his hands as she’d run her tongue along her gums, wanting to help, as she’d look back up at him, nodding, as she’d follow him to the kitchen as they walked in the smell of food hitting her nose as her stomach growled softly, realizing she hasn’t eaten all day. As she took her seat, the chef coming by eyeing her up and down with a soft smirk, Nat felt a bit flattered as she’d whispered in the chefs ear “I have a coconut allergy.. I know it’s odd but I just wanted to let one of the chef know..” as the chef nodded and stepped away from her Nat would grab some meats and veggies, a small portion of food and some water as she looked at him, he clearly wasn’t here, mentally that was as she’d clear her throat “So uh.. your hand.. I noticed them, did need help with.. wrapping them?” @Blue Beetle

He looks at her as he sighs “no. I am capable of taking care of myself” he had for years. He downs the drink before eating some more. He seemed to be in a mood and the staff were walking around like there were egg shells. He gets another drink before saying “before your mind runs. I won’t have sex with you. That isn’t the..the relationship that this is. I won’t force myself onto you ever.” He wasn’t that monster. His eyes look at her and they widen. He could swear he saw his mother. He blinks before looking away and taking a drink. “So don’t worry.” He says as he finsihes. He doesn’t leave. He just sits there looking at his drink. It was clear his mind was somewhere else. To the people he killed today? To the way that he was so angry? To the way that he couldn’t think of touching her before of the blood on his hands.. He knew he didn’t deserve anything close to love. So he wouldn’t push it onto her. He would prefer if she hated him. Hated him either way everything she had.

2:45 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

“If you say so..” she said.. her voice dripping in sarcasm as she’d look at the staff members walking around catering to them, she’d notice the worry in their faces and the tension that build up around them. As she’d then look back to her food and began to ate, swallowing harshly as he mentioned sex “I- I was not planning to have sex with you” she spoke, a bit harshly her Russian accent becoming a bit heavy staring at him thinking that was already implied.. the staff paused and looked at her with horror.. as Natasha would sink back into her chair, tucking her hair behind her ear she’d finish up eating her food in silence as she’d lift the plate handing it to one of the servants to take away as they brought out desserts as Natasha would bite her tongue as they placed the tiramisu infront of her “Thanks..” She softly said as she’d eat a couple of bites and just couldn’t finish it, losing her appetite as Natasha got up, leaving the kitchen to head to their rooms. The servants watching her leave in absolute shock as they looked to Luca. Something about that comment through her off guard as she’d close the door behind, and heavily sigh, heading to the bathroom as she’d closed the door slightly, shaking slightly ready for whatever was to come. She rather embrace death than this @Blue Beetle

He looks at her as she stands and walks away. He sighs softly before standing and moving. His staff moves to clean as he sits on the couch. He lays down and just lays there. He rubs his face. He shouldn’t let her under his skin…yet that is what she is doing..” he groans softly before sitting up finishing his drink and moving to his room. He opens the door and see she is in the bathroom. He would move to the bed and sit on it. He sighs softly as he takes out from the side table a pad of paper and a pen. He wrote: natasha,

I will not sleep here tonight as to not make you uncomfortable. I might be a monster but I am not that type of monster. If you need anything a guard will be out side the door.*

luca He left it on the bed before moving out and closing the door. He knew he shouldn’t change but he really didn’t want her to be uncomfortable. He would find a guest room to spend the night.

3:29 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

She leave the bathroom as soon as she heard the door close, looking down at the bed seeing a note she walked over and picked it up, reading over it as she’d sigh quietly and set it aside on a desk she’d walk to the closet to change into her pajamas, short shorts and a tank as she’d open the door and looked out seeing the guard “Where is he..” She spoke as the the guard would take her to the guest room, the guard knocking slightly on the guest bedroom door, as he cracked it open, Natasha would step in closing the door behind, as she’d lean back on the door “Sorry” she said as she’d looking at him, as she’d fiddle with her fingers “I didn’t mean to blow up…” @Blue Beetle

4:02 PM

(Sorry it’s short!!)

he was laying in the down as he heard the door knocked. he stood and walked over. the door open and he lets her in before she leans against it. "it is ok. i just.." he bites his cheek. "i am not that type of monster. you wont have to worry about me touching you.." he says. even now he was standing back. "you can have the room. i will stay here." he shoudlnt be nice. he shoudlnt be giving her this control...but..something in him was wanting him too...maybe it was because she reminded him of his mother..of the women that he loved... the only person who treated him with kindness. "it is ok. i made you uncomfortable. i shoudlnt have done that. i am sorry." he looks away as he rubs his face. she would be able to see the tiredness that he was feeling...the way his eyes have bags under them..the way that his knuckles were scared from past fights. how they were bloody and starting to bruise

4:07 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Natasha would shake her head slightly, feeling an ease of guilt wash over her, as she sighed quietly, looking down to the floor as he spoke about how he wasn’t a monster. There was no way of trusting him, no way of knowing that for sure since the first thing that came out of him was more talking about his rules to follows, so this was clearly a change for her “It’s.. fine” she said as she shook her head then as he said he’d stay here, and the bed was for her “No, it’s your room- if anything I’ll stay in the guest bedroom and you can have your room back..” she said as she then rubbed the back of her neck “Or we can stay in your bed together.. put some pillows between us..” she said her voice a bit questionable as she didn’t want to offend him in any way “you look exhausted, and you look like you need medical treatment, please.. let me just help and .. and I’ll leave you alone.. go back to following your.. tupoy(dumb) rules..”

4:17 PM

@Blue Beetle

He looks at her and sighs. “Well..come on.” He says as he moves to the door and opens it. He walks back to his room and moves to the closet. He grabs an aid kit before sitting on the bed and opening it. He would wait for her. She had no reason to trust him. She shouldn’t. She shouldn’t trust him. He was a monster. He was a predator and she was his prey. He kept very still as she took care of his hands. He didn’t move them. He was oddly still. His breathing calm as he didn’t flinch at the cleaning. He was used to worse. He looks at her and sighs “I..you shouldn’t trust me. Don’t. Don’t trust me.” He says once she was done he would pack up the kit and moves to put it back. He also came back with more pillows and sets them up

4:23 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

As they walked back to his room she’d close the door behind, walking over to his bed and sitting down, as she grabbed a wrap, cloth, and alcohol as she dose the cloth with alcohol and began to clean his knuckles throughly, her breath shaking slightly as she touched his hands. They were rough, and upon inspection have seen to gone through alot as she finished cleaning she’d then wrap his knuckles best she could , she was no medical person but she knew the basics here and there, as she finished up and looked at him “I don’t trust you” she bluntly said looking at him putting away the kit as he came back with more pillows as she got up watching him arrange the pillows “I will never trust you..” she said as she take her side of the bed “I don’t understand why my father did this to me, why your father agreed.. and why you agreed too.. you are a monster” she sighed relieved feeling better getting that out of her chest looking at him with daggers @Blue Beetle {forgot to send this earlier but her pjs!}

SPOILER

He sighs as he nods. His eyes flicker with something before he climbs into the bed. He turns off his light and claps as the lights in the room turn off. Her lamp was the only one on. “Good night” he says as he turns away from her and lays on his side. He closes his Estes and would stay so still. His breathing calm and he seemed to be alseep within seconds. But he wasn’t. He wasn’t asleep. He would open his eyes as soon as he knew she was though. He would sit up and look at her. He didn’t speak as he sighs. For some reason..her words hurt him. Bad. He hated it. He takes a deep breath before settling back on his back and fianlly sleeping. But his sleep wasn’t peaceful. He had nightmares. Bad ones. He wouldn’t wake for them. He would just slightly toss and mumble. His skin breaking into a sweat. He would wake around 5 am and gets up. He moves slowly though the room grabbing gym clothes before moving out of the room. Leaving her.

4:46 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

She didn’t bother with saying a goodnight, as she’d lay her head on the pillow and look at the darkness, she couldn’t fall asleep right away. It was weird to share a bed with someone she didn’t even know. The air still, as all she heard was their breathing. She wanted to cry more but she didn’t want to wake him up assuming he was sleeping Shed sniffle and just closed her eyes, hugging a pillow as she finally fell asleep in a hour. Her breathing quiet and steady, she barely moved taking up a small corner of the bed. Given she was a light sleeper, she ignored the toss and turns of Luca. As the next morning came, she woke up around 6:30am, turning over to see he was gone. She wasn’t surprised, as she got up and went along her morning routine, showering, brushing her teeth and then got ready, blow drying her hair and doing her makeup as she finished getting all dolled up, it was nearly 7, just when breakfast was about to be served, as she made her way to the kitchen escorted by a guard as she sat down. She’d rub her arm as the chef brought out her breakfast, setting the plate infront of her “Mi Amor~” the chef hummed softly into her ear as he walked off, Natasha would furrow her brows as she grabbed the fork and began to dig in. She was curious what her day was going to entail.. @Blue Beetle

He was in the gym. He punches the punching bag over and over his Boyd was sore from the hour or two of this. He growls as he kicks the bag. He pants harsh as he growls. He tore off his gloves and moves to get a shower. The gym had a bathroom connected. He showers and changes before he moves to the table He looks at the women and takes a deep breath. He moves to sit and he was brought his food. He watches the chef and Natasha. He didn’t want to speak. He starts to eat he was brought coffee and the paper. He watches her out of the corner of his eye as he ate and then read the paper. He would finish before leaning. Suck reading. He was just sit there. He was done eating but he just seemed to be relaxing. His eyes were were full as he says “I have some job sites to see. You will stay here. You have access to the library and living room for entertainment.” He says as he closes the paper and looking at her

5:19 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Nat observed as he entered the kitchen, taking note of the way he carried himself as he settled into his seat. She continued scrolling through her social media feed on her phone, only half paying attention as the servant cleared her breakfast dishes and refilled her coffee. The clinking of plates and the aroma of fresh coffee filled the room, but Nat's focus was elsewhere until she heard his voice. Looking up from her phone, she set it down on the table and turned her full attention to him. "Can I please go to the garden?" she asked, her tone laced with a tinge of longing, silently pleading for his approval. "It's such a beautiful day, and I... I just want to see the flowers," she trailed off, her hand finding its way to the back of her neck in a nervous gesture Despite knowing it was a bold request, Nat couldn't resist the urge to ask. She watched him carefully, hoping for a positive response. "And how long will you be gone for?" she inquired, her voice soft but tinged with curiosity, her coffee mug now forgotten on the table in front of her. Nat's gaze lingered on him, searching for any hint of his thoughts as she awaited his reply. @Blue Beetle

He looks at her. His eyes dead to the world. He takes a sip of his coffee as he watches her. He sits back before saying “fine. But you do anything and my guards will drag you to the room and tie you up. Do you understand?” He watches her. He knew his men would drag her back kicking and screaming if they had too. He really didn’t want that to happen. He looks at her “just a few hours. I should be back around 3pm.” He stands taking a drink of his cofee before moving to her. He makes her look at him as he says “be good.” He say before moving away and to his room to chnage. He gets dressed, does his hair, clean up his facial hair and just get ready for the day. He sighs softly as he hangs his head. “What am I doing..” he says softly before grabbing his things and then moving to leave

5:03 AM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Her eyes lit up as he said fine, as a tiny squeal escaped her mouth. Finally some sort of freedom as she nodded rapidly “yes yes- I’ll be very good” she said holding back a smile, as she nod “ok.. sounds good” as she was about to grab her coffee.. She didn’t notice him approaching as he moved over to her again, forcing her to look at him as she flinched once more and looked into his dead eyes, as he grumbled the words be good to her, as he let go and left to go on about his day. Nat rubbed her jaw as she’d roll her eyes and finished her coffee and got up, after he left for his day she’s head back to the room to change into leather beige pants and a beige halter top, her hair braided into 2 French braids as she’d step out the room and looked around waiting for the guard As the guard, Raphael came he’d escort her down to the garden as she held a book next to her planning to just read while enjoying the nice warm air “Is this really necessary..” she asked looking to Raphael, who raised a brow “the whole escorting.. I just.. it just feels like I’m trapped” she’d mumbled as Raphael chuckled “you are trapped, this is your life, and you best not complain about it. Luca doesn’t like complainers” he said in an ominous tone as Nat would look at him and away, as they reached the garden

7:28 AM

it was beautiful everything Natasha could have imagined, rows of flowers, and trees with vines, it was like straight out of a movie, and the crisp fresh air hitting her nose made her feel like she was living in a fairy tale. As she’d walked around and plucked two flowers, a rose and a lily as she’d sit down on the bench and opened her book , placing the flowers next to her and began to read. The book she was reading was for a class assignment.. but given that she was “sold” to marry someone.. she was forced to dropped out of her university, but it didn’t stop her from wanting to learn. She was in school for psychology, on a pre therapy track, and luckily she brought some of her books from university to understand the fundamentals She was lost in her book for hours, not noticing it was nearing three as Raphael would approach her and tap her on the shoulder startling her as she’d closed her book slightly and looked up at the bodyguard “Come on now, it’s time to go, Luca will be here any moment and you must always be there to greet him” he spoke as she’d sigh heavily, what was the point of retaliation if he was going to drag her out one way or-another, as she’d close her book, using the lily she plucked as a bookmark, and picked up the rose following behind Raphael. Her spirit seemed to be chipping away slowly, as she moved slower with no motivation, Raphael would notice as he’d grab her arm and yank her forward “hurry it up bitch” he growled as Natasha yelped moving her arm away from him and rubbed it, as she picked up her pace as they walked back inside, they would wait by the doors for Luca to come in.. apart of this was for Raphael can just hand her down to Luca right away rather than Luca having to find her. Nat would place her hands behind her back, twirling the rose around as she straighten her posture her eyes looking down to the ground.. as she awaited for her so called husband..

7:28 AM

@Blue Beetle (her fit)

the garden was the one thing that was left from when luca mother was there. it was her garden. luca has very few memories but many of them are from the garden. the time that she had outside was peaceful. but what she didnt see was a hidden tombstone. on the tombstone was the name "Ana" this was where luca mother was...at least her memories. by the time that it was getting close to 3 pm. luca would text Raphael to let him know he was headed back. he sits in the car on the drive back. his hand was unwrapped but his knuckles were still alittel red and scabbed over. he would get out of the car before walking up to the main door and opening it. he sees her and hums. he looks over her outfit and nods "you look nice. that outfit is nice." he says sfotly before he moves to the kitchen and grabs a snack. he looks at a small calendar and sihgs. there was a red circle on tomorrow. he just turns away as he rubs his eyes. "what did you do today?' he asks her

7:56 AM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

shed smiled softly as he complimented her, nodding her head slightly as she tucked a hair strand behind her ear, she’d follow him to the kitchen, the clacks of her heels heard as she lean forward on the counter watching his every move she’d notice the calendar with with the red circle as she raise a brow pointing at it, as with the other hand placed the rose down on the counter “Nothing much, just read.. trying to catch up on my.. work, well.. former work” she said clearing her throat “so uh why is that date circled?” @Blue Beetle

he stops waht he is doing and takes a deep breath "none of your businsse." he growls out. what ever it was he didnt like talking about it. he grabs his snack. "i wont be working tomorrow. but you will stay in the room in the mornig till i come and get you." he says as he looks at her. his eyes were scary. they were darken and dead...but htere was a flicker of something. sadness...reget..greif.. he turns away afrom her and walks to the living room. he sits down tying to not think about tomorrow...that was the date that his mother died. it was always a day that haunted him...it was the day that he lost his only hope on being kind..after that day..he became a monster

11:39 AM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Shed jolt back as he growled those words, lowering her finger as she’d bite her lower lip, she didn’t mean to strike a nerve in him, as she turned her attention to him as he spoke. She looked at his eyes gulping softly as she’d watch him head to the living room, unsure wether to follow him or not “Maybe he wants space..”. she mumbled quietly to herself, as she’d push herself off the counter and left the rose on there, turning to head and slipped out of view from the guard and Luca towards the library, as she walked in seeing the booked go from the floor basically up to the roof, a variety of reads. She’d walked around exploring the area, filled with vintage furnisher, and old books as well as new ones. It felt good to be alone without anyone nearby shed head towards the educational books, skimming over the titles wondering if they had any psychological books , or books about therapy 101, anything within that category, as she found one. Mastering the clinical conversation By Matthew Villatte, as she’d skim over the preface. Slightly intrigued she put the book back, afraid to take it to read it as she felt like she needed permission to even take a book to read. She’d sigh, and head over to a small, yet comfortable chair curling up in a ball, hugging her knees as she’d rest her head on her knee staring at the fireplace that was in there. She felt so alone, so isolated, and she hated feeling hated by the one person she had to love But this was her life, and the guard was right, she was trapped, there was no means of escape, Luca made it clear and her father made it very clear. She didn’t even want to know what would happened if she even tried to escape this marriage. Natasha sighed heavily , it felt good to have this alone time to process these thoughts with nobody on her ass , not a guard or maid insight.. @Blue Beetle

he sat on the couch just staring foward. he knew she had left but he had stopped the gaurd from going to her. "leave her.." he says softly. he sighs as he barries his head into his hands. he didnt underand what to do...his heart was broken...it would never heal..yet...keeping her around amde it so he wasnt so alone... he sighs softly before standing and going ot shower. he jsut didtn want to be around anyone.. the maids were cleaning and moving around. there were two near the liberary and they were speaking..just loud enough for nat to hear.. "tomorrow is his mother death anniversy...he will be moody all day. i would just try and stay as far away as possible.." one says with the other nods "i hope that his father doesnt come aorund..that man scares me..at least luca doesnt push or beat us if we make a mistake.." luca got out of the shower and changed before going back down and walking to the libery. he steps in as the maids rush away. he looks at her as he stood there...he wanted to join her but...she hated him.. he goes to turn and leave

2:20 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Nat would carefully listen into the maids conversations, she knew easvedropping wasnt the right thing to do, but they were talking about Luca, and it was the only way she would ever get to know him. As they spoke about his mothers death anniversary her eyes widen slightly, it made sense.. the calendar with the red circle as shed then listen about how to stay away from him, and how his father was abusive? All of this news to her as shed sigh quietly as the maids would step away hearing Lucas footsteps She felt his presence nearby the library door, as she turned her head slightly to look at him, as he pivoted ready to leave, she quietly chimed in, loud enough for him to hear her 'Im sorry for you loss" she said, as she looked at his back "I know what its like.. my mom passed away shortly after giving birth to me" She said, as shed brush it off like it was nothing, it always haunted her, the thought of her being the cause of her mothers death, but she knew this wasnt about her, nor was she going to make it about her, as she took a breath in and got up. but she wanted to let him know that he wasnt alone, as she slowly walkied over to him despite his back being turned to her, she carefully placed her hand on his shoulder "Sorry I asked too, I didnt know any better, but if you ever want to talk about it.. im all ears..ok?" she said keeping it short and simple, she didnt want to impose any further nor did she want to irriate him anymore than he was, as she let her hand off his shoulder and stepped back, heading back to the chair she was sitting on, she let the silence sit as she changed subjects "your knuckles.. do they feel any better? do you want me to change the bandage on them?" maybe he wasnt so bad, maybe he was just misunderstood, and knowing that smallest detail made her realize to go easy on him.. @Blue Beetle

he stops as he heard her. he bites his tounge not speaking. he was thinking about his breathing to help slow it and not make it seem like he was about to break. (he wasnt ok..he was totally fine...he was fine..) he just stands there looking down as she comes closer and then puts a hand on his shoulder. he wanted to push her away..but he didnt. he closes his eyes slightly as he takes a deep breath and then nods. he doesnt speak till she changes the subject. "they are fine..they could do with a cahnge of bandage..but i wont intrupt up you..um.." he looks at her and says "you can come here anytime..a gaurd will just be at the door..they wont come in here with oyu.." he wanted to give her some space.. he nods before he look sawya. his eyes showing just how tired he was. he takes a deep breath before saying "i am going to bed..um.." he wanted to ask if she wanted to come too..but he couldnt.. "i will see you up there."

2:38 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

She nodded, as she watched him head upstairs. Nat would stay in the library for about another hour, before heading upstairs to their room. As the guard let her in, shed thank them and closed the door behind, shed then head over towards the first aid kit and grabbed it, opening it up as she would look at him. Shed grabbed the supplies she needed and walked over to him, sitting down on the bed shed carefully grabbed his hands and began to undo the banadges around his knuckles, analyzing the wounds on them."oni, kazhetsya, khorosho zazhivayut they seem to be healing nicely" *she mumbled to herself as she moved his hands making sure she looked at eveything. Shed then grab the hydrogen peroxide and dabbled it onto the cotton ball, going in to clean the wounds throughly applying some pressure to his knuckles, she also be holding his hand slightly tighter. As she finished she moved on to the second hand and did the same thing. shed then wrap his knuckles with the fresh bandages, as she smiled slightly proud of herself "there" she smiled holding his hand up so hed see it "Tomarrow maybe we will go no banadges" she said as she grabbed the old bandages and tossed them out, and then packed up the first aid kit, placing it back where it was. shed then head to the bathroom and wash her hands, as she go take a shower, washing her body and hair. as 20 mins passed, shed finished squeezing the water out of her hair, and wrapped a towel around her slender/curvaous body, as she opened the bathroom door. the scent of strawberries and vanilla filling the air as she walked to the closet to grab her pajamas, as she closed the door to change into them. simple pants and tee as she opened the door, holding the wet towel around her arm @Blue Beetle

He would move to his room as he sits and waits. He takes a deep breath as she moves to help him. He watches her and nods. It wasn’t something he needed help with..but it was nice.. He looks at her as she moves to the bathroom. He would get into the e and lay down. His body was face to the ceiling as he sighs and waits. He didn’t know what to think. He knows he should push her away. He can’t let her hurt him or herself. He watches her and blushes slightly as he looks away. He takes a deep breath as he covers his face and turns away from where she would be sleeing. He would rather to keep himself away to save her.. He would just say goodnight before turning off his light and seeming to relax and close his eyes. He takes deep breath slowly and would fall asleep pretty fast tonight. His nightmares start pretty fast. He groans softly as he tosses around. His breathing was hard and uneven as he struggles

3:19 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Natasha would set the town on a hook to let it dry, as she’d head to bed, laying down and adjusting the pillows to make sure it created that barrier between them. As he wished her night, she one again chose to remain silent not wanting to say anything as she’d lay her head on the pillow, it took her a bit longer to fall asleep that night, as she was wide awake with thoughts racing her mind Hearing his groans and feeling his movements, Nat would turn to face him, as she sat up, and placed her hand on his arm, shaking him in hopes to wake him up “Hey- hey are you ok..?” she whispered again shaking him a bit rougher so he would open his eyes. @Blue Beetle (eee sorry it was short!)

he groans softly as he sits up and looks at her. his hand grabs her wrist holding it tight. he growls at her. he blinks awya the nightmare. "wha...what..." he loosk around and then lets go of her wrist. his eyes showed his fear. showed the scared boy...not man.. luca moves out of the bed and grabs a robe before moving out of the bedroom. his breathing was harsh as he moves to guest room, closes the door, locks it and slides down the door. tears roll down his face as he curls up. he sobs softly. his hands were shaking as his breathing was harsh. he coudlnt breath. he held his chest as he leaned agaisnt the door

4:45 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Natasha would flitch back, as he grabbed her wrist, growling at her. As he let go, shed rub her wrist in pain looking at him shocked and slightly scared. She saw the fear in eyes as she didnt know what to really say or do. She watched him get up and grab his things and leaving the room. Nat blinked a couple of times unsure wether to chase him down or not. She decided to give him a couple of mintues before she got out of his bed and changed into long pants, putting her silk robe over herself and cracked the door open, looking left and right unsure which way he went. She took a risk and went left trying to find the guest bedroom he was in. it wasnt until she heard quiet sobs coming from the room that she paused in the hall, and looked towards the door "Luca..?" she softly spoke from outside the door, holding her robe closer to her, her voice soft and groggy as shed yawn checking the time on her phone 2:21am it read as shed quietly sigh and put her phone away "Luca.. are you okay? what happened.. whats going on" she said, hoping hed open the door to tell her, or atleast just tell her @Blue Beetle

he leans agisnt the door. he covers his mouth as he closes his eyes. he takes a deep breath. "i-i am fine. go back to bed." his voice gave it away. he wasnt fine. he sat there as tears rolled down his face and his body was shaking. he always had nightmares. noramlly he was alone..he would sit up or go for a walk before going ot bed..but he coudlnt let her see him like this. see the bags under his eyes. see the tears rolling down his face. he wanted nothing more than just to curl up and hide. he takes a deep breath as he wipes his face and stands. luca opens the door and looks at ehr "go back to bed. i am ok." his eyes were half lidded as he was tired. he takes a deep breath as he looks at her then to her writst. where he had grabbed. he gulps softly "did...did i hurt you.." he told her he wouldnt touch her. he told her she was safe..

4:05 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Natasha would sigh, knowing he wasn’t as she would tap her fingers along her arm, unsure what to do. Her back towards the door debating if she should go, as she heard the door creak open. She would turn slightly seeing the bags under his eyes. And the redness as well “You’re not fine..” she would say, a bit harshly, she hated being lied to as she folded her arms, standing her ground “I’m not goin to bed til I know your ok.. and no you didn’t hurt me, just scared me is all” she said as she would show him her wrist, as it was slightly red, but seemed to be going away “what’s going on..? Why are you acting like this.. acting so tough when you arnt..” @Blue Beetle

he looks at her as he sighs "it is how i was raised...not to show weakness...but..today..every year...i break..please go back to bed..i am ok.." he says as he looks at her. "i will be back to the mean asshole you know me as...just not today.." all he could do was look down and turn away from her. "i am ok. so go back to bed..i wont bother you all day..you wont see me all day..." he says as he looks at his feet. "please..." his voice soft. his arms hanging by his sides as he stood there. he was towering over her yet right now...if she even touched him he would crumble

1:38 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Natasha would listen her arms folded a bit annoyed. How he was raised?! It must’ve been awful to not express feelings when you’re younger.. no wonder why he refused to show any. She felt pity for him as she looked down at the floor, getting some understanding as to why he was like this a quiet sigh heard from her as she looked up at him as he asked her to go back to bed, Natasha clenched a fist, biting her tongue so she didn’t say anything back to him “I- fine..” she said furrowing her brows as he said he’ll be back to his ‘normal’ self. She’d scoff not liking that as she’d look at his back as he turned away “Fine..” She merely said, unsure what more to say or do in a situation like this. She didn’t know how he’d react if she tried to be kind to him.. or help him, it was a nice step to see some sincerity in him. As she turned to head back to his room. As she walked into his room, she closed the door slightly and went to her side of the bed, sitting on it rubbing her head she felt awful not knowing what to do, or what to say to him. What kind of wife was she going to be if she couldn’t even consult her soon to be husband? How was this marriage supposed to work if the two have a broken communication.. what kind of life was this.. a wave of emotions hitting her like a truck as she decided to lay down, and just sleep it off.. The Next Morning as the sun hit her eyes, Natasha yawned… slowly opening her eyes as she turned to read the time. 10:26. She didn’t even care if she missed breakfast she’d just lay in bed waiting for him to retrieve her or just tell her a plan @Blue Beetle

he would watch her walk away. he would close the door and just sit on the bed. his eyes were glossy as he sat there..alone. by the time that she would wake a maid would knock and open the door. "ma'am..Mr. Romono says that you are able to visit the liberay. there will be a gaurd to follow you. Mr. Romono will be gone for most of the day.." she bows as she leaves to go and get lunch ready. Luca moves to the garden. he would jsut sit at the small headstone. his eyes looking at the headstone. luca was in a nice suit. his hair was done. he wnated to look nice for his mother. he just sat there. he was hidden however she would be able to see him knelling on the ground. "hi mother...um...it is another year...there is a new person in the house...Natasha...she is very nice...kind..alittle mad at me..but..that is understandble.." he says as he sat there.

1:03 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

She heard the subtle knock on the door, as she raised her head from the pillow, her hair all over the place as the maid would open the door and gently closed it behind to tell her about the day. Natasha heavily sighed and waved her off “Thanks.. but I rather lay in bed all day” she would grumble , laying her head back down on the pillow. As the maid left her phone suddenly buzzed, furrowing her brows she retrieved her phone Text message: Dad it read as Natasha eyes widen a bit, as she unlocked her phone and opened the text message, it’s been about a week since her father essentially sold her off to this life

ey, detka, ya nadeyus', chto vse khorosho, ya prosto khotel skazat', chto skuchayu po tebe, i, vozmozhno, my smozhem pozvonit' pozzhe?

TRANSLATE: hey baby, I hope everything is well, I just wanted to say I miss you, and perhaps later we can call? The text read as Natasha scoffed, responding back

Call? Yeah if my husband allows me to even call! It’s been a living hell here being told what to do,  what to wear and where I can go! Not the mention my so called husband hates me! And seems to hide all his emotions from me!

As Natasha took a deep breath, she wanted to say that to her father, she wanted to tell him what was going on.. but she deleted the message, and wrote Sounds good Father, I miss you too.. I’ll see if I’m free to call Sent

5:33 PM

Her hands shaking a bit as she needed to cool down, she set her phone back down on the desk and laid her head once more on her pillow, grabbing the blanket and wrapping herself around it. There wasn’t a point in doing anything today, and after last night, there wasn’t anything to say to him. To get him to talk about his emotions is like drawing blood from a stone, impossible and not real Frankly, she had half a mind wondering what his plans were for today, as she knew the significant meaning behind it. A bit of guilt rushing over the bride to be as she thought it would be selfish to just lay here and do nothing, but she couldn’t bring herself to even see him, so she thought it was best to leave him be. Right?

5:33 PM

@Blue Beetle

He would sit out in the garden. His eyes just holding onto the headstone. Soon rain would start but he didn’t move. He desvered to be wet and cold..he was a cold and mean man. His eyes move slightly away and up to the window he knew was their room. He wondered if she was there…if she cared? He shakes his head. He knew the answer..no… he would stand after a moment. Saying one last goodbye before moving back into the house and to the room. His clothes were soaked and his eyes looked dead.he opens the door and just steps inside. He looks at the bed before moving to get clothes and then towards the bedroom. He stopped to ask “have you eaten..” his voice was soft. His body language showed he was hurting. Showed that..all he wanted to do is curl up and cry. His eyes slightly red and his hair matted to his forehead from the rain

4:55 PM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Nat would hear his voice, as she sat up and look towards him. His voice going through one ear out the other as she would take a moment to process what he said. She was too fixated on the way he looked. She never seen him look so.. defeated after only knowing him for a week. She was used to the toughness not the sadness “No.. I wasn’t feeling hungry, sorta lost all my appetite” she would admit as she would prop herself on the backboard of the bed and pull the sheets up to cover her chest as she was wearing a sports bra, sighing “you ok? I understand today is a tough day for you, did you want to talk about it?” she would say rubbing the back of her nape hoping he would

2:45 PM

@Blue Beetle (sorry it’s short !!)

he looks at her and takes a deep breath. he moves to grab a stool from the vanity area and sits beside the bed. "today...um..my mother died today.." he looks down. "it is a hard day..for me..i am sorry that i.." he looks at him and takes a deep breath. "i shouldnt have let my emotions get to me..i am sorry.." he stands. "i will get a shower then..i jsut want to pass out.." he moves to the bathroom and closes the door. he was in there for about a hour or so then he would walk out clean. he moves to get dressed before he lays on the bed and hides his face into the pillow.

3:58 PM

“Yeah..” she would quietly say, letting the air linger around them. She was unsure what to really say to him as she didn’t want to push any buttons, nor further make him more mad at her, but hearing him apologize to her surprised the young lady as she would fully turn her attention to him “It’s fine..” she would say, her Russian accent heavier as she was starting to feel bad for even being upset that him on a day like this, as he said he wanted to shower and just pass out, Natasha would merely nod, watching him shuffle towards the bathroom. As the door closed she would look down trying to think of something nice to do for him, despite everything. She would get up off the bed and leave the room as he came out , she would be nowhere found, as she would be in the kitchen baking. Baking was a passion of hers it reminded her of home, making a ptichye moloko. A famous Russian pastry that her mom and dad used to make her, it was a decadent cake famous for its reversed cake-to-filling ratio: the thick, but exceptionally light, almost soufflé-like layers of silky custard are separated by thin, fluffy, and moist layers of sponge cake. As the pastry was baking, she would make some tea for the two, and headed up back, gently knocking on the door and opening it holding a tray with the ptichye moloko and walked over, seeing his face in the pillow. She would set the tray down, and sit next to him, gently rubbing his back in hopes to comfort him “I made some sweets.. you don’t need to eat it if you don’t want too.. but my family made it whenever I was upset , and it always put a smile on my face , so I hope it will do the same for you..” she would softly say

4:34 PM

@Blue Beetle sorry for the wait!)

he looks at her as he lays there. he takes a deep breaht as he moves and sits up. he looks at her and smiles. "thakn you.." he says befroe taking a pastry and bitting into them. "mm..that is really good.." he says softly before looking at her. "i am sorry...for today.." he takes a sip of the tea before sighing. he lays back down as he rubs his eyes. he was tired. his bdoy and mind were so tried. he just laid there. he grabs her hand and rest it agaisnt his cheek. "just...just for a moment.." he says softly. hsi eyes closing as he takes deep breath and tries to calm his mind and heart. he takes a deep breath and sighs. "if you want to cook..and you like to you can use anything in the kitchen. i will eat anythign you make..." he mumbles. it was clear he was tried and fall asleep quickly. it seemed that he was relaxed under her hand

5:29 AM

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂 just a poke

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂 just a pokoe!

Nat would glance away as he ate, smiling softly as he complimented her baking “Thanks..” she spoke her voice trailing off as the two sat in silence for awhile, until he broke the silence to apologize Nat didn’t say a word as he grabbed her hand placing it on his cheek, habit kicked in as her thumb began to softly stroke his face as she still was looking away from him So this is his soft side.. she thought to herself, glancing back after not hearing him for awhile only to see he fell asleep, she felt obligated to keep her hand there Interesting.. she thought once more as she would turn back looking at the floor She didn’t really know how she felt, besides the fact she was certain he was bipolar? Or maybe just very emotional but it was sorta scary to her not knowing when he’d snap and ban her from stuff or, allow her to do things, that sort of unease giving her chills. Natasha would take her phone out staring at it, not unlocking it , only using it to look at her reflection, if she really wanted to she could have left and never came back, but something in her told her to stay.. not because she was certain she’d die but he didn’t seem like a bad guy people portrayed Wonder what to make for dinner then if he is allowing me to cook.. she thought as she would await for him to wake up @Blue Beetle

he laid there quietly. his breathing was soft and even as her hand was on his cheek. he didnt dream about anything, he had no dreams and his sleep was peaceful for the first time in...well awhile. he wouldnt move alot as he slept. his eyes closed and his bdoy relaxed, however a few hours a knock would come to the door. it was a gaurd. he opens the door and see Natasha. "ma'am..i am so sorry to intrupt..but there is a issue that The boss needs to take care of.." the whole time the gaurd was talking Luca laid there and was still asleep. he did roll over alittle bit as the light from the hall shone into the room. the guard stood there waiting, he didnt want to wake luca. he knew that woul dbe a death sentence for anyone...anyone but Nat..
