   Summary

   ❝Loving you is like dealing with liquid gold. It requires patience to deal with and a steady, slow burn to properly melt.❞

   ―

   S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't expect to find Captain America frozen in ice. They didn't expect him to be so disgruntled and bitter. Sure, they knew he'd be sad over missing out his life in the past, but there was sadness and then there was Steve Rogers plummeting his fists through a dozen punching bags a day. It was...terrifying and quite frankly, his anger was putting a damper on S.H.I.E.L.D.s plans. They had wars to stop, people to save and peace to upkeep.

   So naturally, they send in one of their best - the ex-Russian spy turned S.H.I.E.L.D agent. Nothing could really go wrong, right?

   It's not like the infamous Black Widow would ever be susceptible to love and the great Captain America would never fall for someone like her.

   Natasha Romanoff though? She might. And Steve Rogers? He definitely would.
