"I'm always too cute," he replied, enveloping her in a big hug. He may have held on a little too tightly a little to long, but Steve wasn't interested in letting go just yet. This was Natasha and he got her. He didn't always agree with her, but he could at least know that he'd always understand her logic. And when it came right down to it, she'd been on his side in the end. He'd never hold that against her.
"You are better at keeping up than Sam. By maybe a little," Steve replied, still not ready to let her go. "Okay, I'm going to let go now, but I think this needs to be a regular thing." He held onto her for a long moment before finally letting go. "I didn't realize how good hugs were." Steve had always been a tactile guy, but the Army and then SHIELD had helped him repress it over the years. After his afternoon at the waterfall, he was beginning to find that part of him again and he was glad for it.
"You're gonna start wanting to kick my butt on the regular again aren't you?" he asked with a teasing smirk. Natasha could beat him any day of the week and twice on Sundays, but he was getting better. Maybe he'd learn a couple new things on the island that didn't have anything to do with sex.
