You had always loved seeing Natasha’s protective side, the way she’d immediately step in and take control when she thought something was wrong. It made you feel safe, cherished, and, in a way, a little spoiled. So, when you got the idea to film a TikTok of you "crying in the shower" to see how she’d react, you couldn’t help but giggle to yourself.
You set your phone up on the bathroom counter, ensuring it was angled just right to catch you from the side. Then, you turned the shower on, letting the water run loudly as you sat on the floor of the shower, curling up slightly with your arms wrapped around your knees.
“Baby?” Natasha’s voice rang out, sounding concerned but not overly frantic. She must’ve seen the door was open, her protective instincts kicking in.
You kept up the act, letting the sobs get louder, hoping she would be drawn closer. You heard her footsteps, and then the sound of her voice again, a bit more frantic now. “What’s going on? Why are you crying?”
The next moment, Natasha’s silhouette appeared in the bathroom doorway. She didn’t hesitate for a second before her gaze locked on you, sitting in the shower with your face hidden behind your knees, sobbing dramatically.
Her lips curled into a small, protective snarl, and before you could even process what was happening, Natasha stormed into the bathroom, kicking off her shoes with quick, sharp movements. Her aura was palpable, the air around her growing heavier, more intense.
Your fake sobs faltered for a second as Natasha’s intense gaze softened slightly when she realized you were still faking it. The protective, dominant energy she exuded was now mixed with a tinge of annoyance. “You think it’s funny to fake cry in the shower to get my attention?”
