heartbeat (MCU, Bruce Banner/Natasha Romanoff, PG)

funny you’re the broken one but i’m the only one who needed saving
      —Rihanna ft. Mikky Ekko, “Stay”

Just once I want something that’s mine. Something beyond my hands and my skin and the gun in my hands—something I can wrap my world around, something I can seat in my heart.

I wanted you.

***

Just once I want something I can’t break. Something beyond logic and the laws of thermodynamics—something to give me faith, something to open my heart.

I wanted you.

Why don't you just stab my heart? ;__;

(It's a compliment, in case it's not clear.)

Ah, this is absolutely gorgeous!! I love the way you've done a parallel through both POVs, and it is such a gut punch, but in that really awesome way, you know? I love it. Sometimes you read a drabble and it's just kind of like, okay, but this is a *story*, it says so much in so few words. So, so lovely. <3
