Summary: This takes place over the span of three weeks: Y/N and Nat enjoy their mid-day runs. One day, an unfortunate incident happens which leaves Y/N in bed for two weeks. He heals with the love and support from one particular Avenger. During week three, he has a surprise for her...
—Third Person Point of View—

Enjoying the fresh breeze against his skin, Y/N laughed and taunted his girlfriend as he left her behind. Without looking where he was going, the man tripped over a tree branch that fell over in the middle of the woods. He felt the air as it got knocked out of his lungs and the stinging on his chest as it collided with small twigs and dried leaves.

Quick footsteps were heard behind him as Nat caught up, at first she was laughing thinking it wasn't anything serious. "Okay, Y/N/N, you proved your point. C'mon." She stood up completely and looked around, placing both hands on her hips as she took a deep breath and enjoyed the little nature path.

She walked around, but didn't leave the man far. She frowned when she heard the completely silence. She turned and saw the male was still passed out on the ground. Her face grew cold and her heart began to beat faster, "Y-Y/N?" She walked over to him and rolled him onto his back. She put her index and middle finger onto the side of his neck and pressed down firmly for a pulse. She sighed relieved when she felt his blood rushing passed her skin.

She pulled her fingers away and pat his face since she didn't want to slap him. "Wake up." Her tone was a bit rushed. She put her ear to his mouth and heard his shallow breaths. She stood up and grabbed his body and threw him over her shoulder and made her way back to his new black Toyota 4Runner.

Y/N groaned when his body was laid in the backseat. "Nat?" He sat up slightly then grunted, his body pulled him back. He whined in pain, "Is this Karma?"

Nat shut the driver door and pulled the seatbelt on. She adjusted the seat and the mirrors. Using the rearview mirror to look at him, she shrugged and said. "If you believe in it."

"Well, I do." He groaned and fell back.

"You should be careful next time." Nat pat his cheek gently as Y/N sat in the bed with a fresh change of clothes and comfy pillows supporting his back.

He smirked and rolled his eyes in a playful manner, "Yes, mom."

She chuckled and climbed into the comfy king-sized bed and pulled the blankets over her petite frame. "You would've died if it wasn't for me.."

"I wouldn't've tripped if I wasn't trying to show off so bad." He chuckled weakly and quickly put his hand by the side that caused him so much pain. He sighed and leaned into the pillows. "Thanks for taking care of me- what would I do without you?"

"Probably cry all day and be a big fat loser." She shrugged in a nonchalant manner then quickly smiled when Y/N narrowed his E/C eyes at her. "I'm kidding." She smiled and pat his cheek. She kissed his lips gently then pulled away to turn on the tv. "Kinda." She quickly mumbled.

"Hey," Y/N turned his head from the tv and towards the stunning woman he was so lucky to share a bed with. "I heard that."

Her cheekbones became more define as she smirked, turning her head to him she spoke, "Good, you were supposed to hear that. Means your ears are working just fine~"

"Alright," Nat walked into their bedroom and stood by the door in her workout attire. A black sports bra and short black work out shorts with black Nikes. "It's been 14 days- two weeks, since your accident and your health has improved greatly. Time to get back out there, champ." She smiled and walked further into the room, she pulled the blanket off of the whining man.

"I'm too weak, I'm not ready." He pulled the blanket back over his body, "See. Cough, Cough." He dramatically 'coughed' while saying the words.

Nat bursted out into laughter, "You're lucky you're entertaining." She smiled and sat down on the side of the bed. "I don't want you to get out of shape and become miserable, you know what happened last time."

"Yeah, I know..my back never hurt so bad." He smiled and got out of the bed. "Are we going back on the same path? Cause I think I remembered where I fell."

She smirked and stood up after her did, she crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes with a bit of determination behind them. "You really think you remember?"

"Yep, I'm confident." He smirked and walked out of their bedroom and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

She lightly slapped his ass as he walked past her, "Five minutes." She laughed at his 'offended' face.

"I don't think I can do it.." Y/N panted softly as he lazily jogged behind the fiery woman.

"It's only been one minute?" She checked her watch and turned to face him, jogging in place.

"That's all?!" He groaned and leaned against a large tree. "I-I can't.."

"You can't what?" Nat pretended like she was confused and jumped back when he fell onto the ground.

The orange-brown leaves surrounded his sweaty body like a border. He looked up at the bright baby blue sky and the tall tree he once used as support. "I can't go any further..you're going to have to leave me here..just go." He turned to face her.

She laughed even harder than before, she grabbed his hand and helped him stand up. "There is no way your stamina drastically decreased in a span of two weeks. We can jog slow-"

"Or walk really fast." He cut her off with his suggestion.

"If that makes you comfortable." She shrugged and started to jog in place at a slower pace.

Y/N nodded, "Yeah..we can jog or even run tomorrow." He groaned and stretched his body.

She cringed when she heard his bones crack, "A-Are you okay? Are you dying right in front of me?"

Y/N frowned and extended his hands to look at them, he looked at Nat, "I actually don't know anymore.."

—

Nat stretched as she made it to the 4Runner, she frowned when she didn't see her H/C boyfriend anywhere. "Y/N?! Did I lose you?" She turned and froze when she bumped into him. He was on his knees with a ring box displaying a shiny-yet minimalistic ring out to her.

"Y/N..what is this?" Her face grew hot and her normal fair skin turned into a light pink. She tucked the stray strands of hair behind her ears as she gulped at the ring.

"Nat..you're the kindest woman I've ever met.."

"Y/N.." She tried to hold back the tears that threatened to flow.

"You never judge me...and when you do, you make it so hilarious I can't get mad at you.. You make me want to improve myself and become even better. I can't imagine how my life would be without you.." Y/N smiled softly when he saw her reaction, hoping she'd say yes.

"Will you..will you marry me?"

"Of course I would, loser..why would I say no?" She laughed and sniffled. She smiled when he slid the ring on.

"You're unpredictable." He kissed her lips gently and wrapped his arms around her.

"That's better than being predictable."

"And that's why I proposed~"
