It’s bold to assume a tower full of trauma ridden, adrenaline filled, emotionally stunted super hero’s would have anything close to a vanilla s3ccs life.
They all crave comfort in I’m unhealthy ways and the entire Avengers team is intertwined in ways people don’t always expect
For example Natasha is always made out to have slept around with everyone, using her sex appeal as a power. While she does weaponize her sexuality for an advantage in combat, in real life Natasha is very selective. She’s doesn’t sleep around very often, and she’s quite picky in who she does choose to engage with. Despite what reporters and tabloid journalists speculated she didn’t sleep with any of the members of the Avengers until after the events of CACW. She did sleep with Hill, during her time working under Fury, though they didn’t develop any relationship past a casual friends with benefits stage, they occasionally still sleep together after a random annual work function. Natasha took a sincere liking to Sam after the events of CATWS but was slow to start anything due to Sam and Steve’s involvement in... whatever the hell they were up-to. Sam’s sincerity and unwavering kindness won Natasha over, and as she spent more and more time with him the relationship developed naturally by the time she began entertaining being involved with Steve, she realized she had fully fallen for Sam.
Sam honestly never though he’d get to meet the super heroes he grew up idolizing, let alone get to be a part of their personal lives. When Steve and Natasha showed up at his back door looking like coal miners Sam knew he was in for wayyy more than he bargained for. He and Steve formed the strongest bond, it happened on their search for Bucky, the close proximity and shared life experiences did nothing but fuel the sexual tension that finally broke one night in a janky Czech motel where they had to share a comically small bed. Their relationship blossomed naturally and was conventional until it extended to Natasha, she wasn’t constant in their lives, often away on missions or recon, and preferring to refer to her room as the “Spare room,” but she was always reliable. She always came back to wherever Sam and Steve were staying, and Steve always made sure to stay in a place with an extra room or bed for Natasha. Sam and Natasha’s relationship developed at an even slower pace than his and Steve’s but as she started coming back around more and more it was obvious she was a part of their lives. Even after experiencing the unexpected Sam was still blindsided by the development of Bucky Barnes. Sam doesn’t really know what he expected to think of Steve's brainwashed long lost love, but he never would have placed bets that he’d become hopelessly devoted to him. Luckily Sam’s nothing if not easy going, and he knew what he signed up for getting involved with Steve, it’s as unconventional as everything else they do but Sam loves his little team.
Steve has slept with WAYYYY more people than Tony wants everyone to believe. Including Tony himself. Steve doesn’t actually know if it was Tony who started the rumor that Steve was some pure abstaining virgin, but he’s shocked at how well it has caught on. Sure he’s awkward, but he’s socially 100 years behind! He doesn’t understand what about him screams virgin. He confronts Tony about it, which ends with them sleeping together. They continue the pattern of arguments and hookups until their toxic relationship inevitably melted down in CACW. Aside from Tony, Steve tried to exclusively hookup with random people he’d never see again in one night stands, but he did somehow mistakenly hooked up with Clint one night in a club. Steve thought for a moment it was intentional on Clint’s part, but they haven’t spoken about it since and Steve is not one to start a conversation he doesn’t want. Plus, after the events of CATWS Steve was hyper-fixated on recovering Bucky; although, in that time he developed his standing relationship with Sam. He was worried how it would influence their future relationship once they recovered Bucky, given their intimate history Steve confessed to Sam one night at the start of their search. His worries were assuaged after recovering Bucky, Sam only stood to make the relationship stronger, as did Natasha. The flow between their group was nothing Steve knew how to put in words. What they had worked, he loved each of them unconditionally and would protect them with his life.
Tony- has slept with exactly as many people as he’d have you expect. While he has a particular preference towards bossy blondes he won’t hesitate to engage with anyone who catches his interest. He’s quick to sleep around, and he’s also quick to love. Pepper, Bruce, and Rhodey have his heart; he would do anything for them and they know that. Underneath all the chaos that is the persona of Tony Stark, stands a man who loves unendingly. He’s exceedingly eccentric and it would blow the tabloid’s minds to learn the only Avenger he hasn’t slept with is Natasha.
It’s not that Bruce didn’t notice a lack of intimate relationships since the Other Guy came into his life, but he didn’t think it even remotely important compared to what he now had to deal with. He hadn’t realized he could learn to have relationships until Tony helped him realize he could still have relationships, even when his uncontrollable alter-ego is an indestructible weapon of mass destruction. Tony’s constant undying devotion and trust really helped Bruce change his life and he was hoping to get to a spot where maybe he could finally return one of Natasha’s advances when he found his time on Earth cut short. //Thor and Valkyrie love to try recount Valkyrie’s relationship with Hulk during his time on Sakaar to see Bruce how quickly Bruce will freak out// Hulk’s relationship with Valkyrie and Thor led Bruce to spend time with the two of them, their nostalgic relationship taking form while they rebuilt new Asgard and tried to keep Thor from falling apart after the events of ragnarok/IW. His relationship with them stayed strong even when he went back to Tony and his world of science.
Thor doesn’t quite understand the midgaurdian value in keeping track of who you do what specific activities with, but he’s happy to accept any invitation for those activities. The Asguardians are no strangers to pleasurable activities and Thor has tens of thousands of years, and entire galaxies of experiences. The concept of Alien is enough for Steve Natasha and Bruce to steer very clear, which Thor takes no offense to. He does find himself entangled multiple times in a private suite during one of the many annual work parties at the tower, some variation of Jane Darcy Tony Hill and Clint find themselves ending the night early, with too much champagne and otherworldly influences filling a private room more than a few times.
Following on trend with the rest of his life Clint’s love life is a spectacular mess. He admits he sleeps around, be it the lifestyle or to keep up appearances, but his heart belongs to his secret wife, and his secret family. The less obvious their existence, the safer they are, so Clint goes about his life without ever letting on to anyone but Natasha he’s a good honest family man. He actively tries not to sleep with his coworkers but you can’t be good at everything, Clint’s very good at sharp shooting, he’s not good at not sleeping with his coworkers. Technically he’s slept with 4-(Darcy and Jane don’t work with him)-but he slept with Tony Thor and Hill in the same crazy night after one of the insanely unprofessional work parties Tony throws every year so he counts the 3 of them as 1 mistake. Clint did accidentally sleep with Steve, which reignited his need to enforce his No Sex With Co-Workers rule. Not that Steve did anything wrong necessarily but the whole situation caused Clint to call Natasha to talk through the mini crisis he had. He insisted to Nat he at least had to change his codename from hawkeye, because no amount of booze or weed should have been able to keep him from recognizing Captain America until he was moaning into his mouth. He was made to feel better when he realized Steve hadn’t recognized him either until they got into the streetlights, and the night even continued to things Clint had genuinely fantasized about, but his crisis doubled down when he realized he couldn’t recognize Steve in the low light of the club because he wouldn’t recognize Captain America in any sketchy club in a bad neighborhood. He hadn’t just not recognized him for a few minutes of unobservant grinding, he had pegged him wrong the entire time they worked together. The perfect Catholic-Virgin-BoyScout illusion is shattered now that he can recognize Steve by the smell of sex and the memory of it. Even freakier is that Steve continues to wear khakis and collard shirts and indicate that nothing has changed. So Clint has very decidedly tried to stick to NOT sleeping with his co-workers.
Nick Fury knows all of this. Hill and Natasha have made it a running joke to keep him over informed on the intimate personal relationships of the team. His own relationship is secret from all of them, he assures them not to worry about it, his history is not important and they have to chance to become a part of it as he has a standing rule not to sleep with flight risks, which disqualifies all of them.
