Part 9: I Can’t Begin to Tell You

Warnings: fluff, semi-unsafe driving (not what you think, but be smart kids), slow dancing, brief car smut, lots of feels
Summary: When you return to the Avengers compound, you and Steve sneak away hoping you can put off the team’s inevitable interrogation a little longer.
A/N: After an unintentional year long hiatus, let me just say from the bottom of my heart…………my bad. Haha.

Avoiding his eyes, you fixed your attention on a stray thread protruding from the hem of your shirt. You plucked at the strand, trying to make the action appear nonchalant rather than the anxious fidgeting it was. Even without looking at Sam, you knew that he was positively beaming.
“Does it look like she’s blushing? I think she might be blushing,” Clint teased.
“Tony, you’re being uncharacteristically quiet over there,” Nat observed. “You’re usually the first to join in on these kinds of talks.”
