What would you say to a best friends turned to Lovers with natasha x female reader who is an avenger. And the team (it was actually Tony’s idea) decides to host a karaoke night at the compound, and when it’s reader’s turn, she sings “If You Love Her” by Forest Blakk. And the whole entire time she’s singing, the lyrics relate so much to Natasha. And the reason Reader is singing that song is a way for Nat to realize that she has feelings for her. And it’s just so feelsy and heart warming and by the end of the song, feelings are out in the open and reciprocated? Happy ending please? (And if your open to platonic moments, maybe some Reader and Tony best friend moments too? But that’s optional if you want!)

If You Love Her: Natasha Romanoff-
“How many people are allowed to play Jenga at once?” You ask curiously as you delicately place your newly acquired, loose wooden block on top of the ‘Jenga’ pile.
“As many as you want. Your game, your rules I guess.” Natasha replies as she studies the wooden tower carefully, in search for her next possible move in retrieving a block successfully.
“Right, so can we remove the rule where Wanda can use her powers to keep the tower steady every time it’s your turn?” You question as you give Wanda and Natasha an amused smirk.
Natasha gasps in shock as she looks over at you, “There is no way you could have known she was doing that! What gave it away?”
“Oh please, for a spy you’re not very subtle with your hand signals- Three taps of your fingers and Wanda casually looks over with a hint of red in her eyes. What else am I supposed to think?” You explain your reasoning behind your suspicions clearly.
Wanda places her book down, mostly using it as a way of avoiding attention during the game, “She paid me twenty dollars to do it, she was adamant she was going to beat you this time.”
Natasha grabs the pillow from beside herself and throws it towards Wanda, “That’s enough out of you.”
Wanda catches the soaring pillow with ease, placing it behind her head for comfort, “It’s not my fault you can’t beat y/n at a simple game.”
Natasha scoffs, “Simple? We’ve been friends for over seven years and I have never won a game, not a single one! It’s anything but simple.”
You shake your head at Natasha’s words, “Perhaps it just ‘simply’ means that I’m awesome and you’re not.” You pout your lip out alongside a shrug of your shoulders to highlight your point.
Natasha rolls her eyes as she moves to grab a wooden block, “You wish-“ At that very moment, the Jenga tower succumbs to its demise, and tumbles down onto the living area table. Causing a wave of stray blocks to decorate the floor surrounding the three of you.
You admire your victory, scattered around you, “Well, correct me if I’m wrong, but-“
Natasha raises a hand as a signal to stop your words, “Don’t even think about gloating, I want a rematch y/l/n.”
You give Natasha an excited nod at the suggestion, “Oh, you’re on.”
The two of you make quick work in gathering all the blocks needed to rebuild the wooden tower, taking your time to ensure all the pieces are accounted for, before the next round begins.
During your efforts to rebuild the tower, Tony enters the room, instantly casting his gaze on your chosen form of entertainment.
“Please tell me you’ve not been in here all morning playing Jenga.” He says in a disappointed tone.
“Now Tony, it’s not our fault Pepper banned you from the game after the 2013 incident.” Natasha teases the Billionaire.
Wanda looks towards Natasha in puzzlement, “What incident?”
Tony immediately steps forward to silence Natasha, “Widow, don’t you dare-“
“Oh yeah, I remember that. Pepper totally freaked out. Basically, what he did was-“ Tony creates a chorus of obnoxious sounds to drown out your words.
“La, la, la! We don’t need to hear that story ever. If anyone tells that story, I’ll add a six month delay to your gadget upgrade schedule.” Tony threatens the two of you.
You and Natasha give each other a nod in silent agreement to not repeat a word of the story in question. Knowing that you both need those gadget upgrades for the upcoming surge of missions heading your way.
“Why are you even here Stark?” Wanda asks as she manoeuvres herself in her chair, giving Tony her undivided attention.
Tony claps his hands together before pointing his index fingers towards Wanda, “I’m glad you asked, Little Witch.”
Wanda rolls her eyes at the choice of nickname given to her by Tony, “I have had the most genius idea to date. Since we’re all so completely and utterly bored shi-, I mean mindless. Why don’t we host a Karaoke night here, at the compound for the whole team. What do you say?”
The three of you look between yourselves unsure, “I mean, it could be fun. It would give us all a chance to hang out together.” You say as you shove some spare blocks towards Natasha to add to the pile.
“What does everyone else think about the idea?” Wanda questions.
“They’re all on board, the only people I needed to ask were you guys, so are you in?” Tony bites his lip in hopes that you will all say yes.
“Sure Tony, whatever you say.” Natasha replies as she rests her head on her hand, waiting for the game to start.
Tony moves his hands in circular motions, attempting to encourage an answer from Wanda and yourself.
You both give him an enthusiastic nod, causing him to sigh in relief, “Well, now that’s taken care of, I’ll go start setting everything up for tonight. I’ll send you the details soon, oh and think of a song you might want to sing. We can then add it to the list alongside some others.”
“Will do Tony.” Natasha confirms as she places her first block on top of the tower, without hesitation- determined to win.
Just as you’re about to make your move, Tony addresses you, “Y/n, make sure you pick the perfect song for your crush, I’m counting on it!”
At the mention of the situation regarding your crush, you accidentally knock over the Jenga tower, causing a resounding bang to sound throughout the room.
“M-my crush?” You say in a small voice, ignoring the cheering coming from Natasha at her first victory throughout your entire friendship.
“Yes, you never know what opportunities may arise from tonight. You might be able to take the shot you’ve been waiting for.” Tony puts forward as he nods his head in Natasha’s direction.
Natasha is too busy to notice the exchange, taking it upon herself to congratulate her own efforts in taking you down after so long- even if it was through a distraction.
Wanda however is very intrigued towards the conversation at hand, “Ahhh, that just made the premise of tonight so much more interesting.”
You attempt to hide the embarrassment spreading throughout your cheeks; tainting them red.
There’s a chance that Tony may be right, and tonight would be a perfect opportunity to tell your crush- Natasha, how you really feel.
However, there’s a flip side to that statement, one that you would rather avoid at all costs, if it means that the friendship you share with Natasha could be jeopardised.
Who knew so much could rest on a song choice for an Avenger’s Karaoke night.
—————-
It’s 9 pm at the compound, the team are gathered in the living area surrounded by various drinks and snacks, as each member takes it in turn to perform their very own choice in music.
At this point, the majority of the team have had a go on the Karaoke machine Tony picked up from a store a few hours ago. The current performer on the makeshift stage is Peter Parker. He was adamant he was going to perform ‘Umbrella’ by Rihanna, and who were the team to stop him.
With his combination of acrobatic skills and impressive vocals, he’s giving the team quite a memorable show.
Just as he’s about to enter the chorus of the song, alongside with a range of pirouettes; Tony makes his way over to you with a songbook in hand.
“Right, so you’re up next. What song do you want me to put up on the monitor?” He hands the book to you, allowing you to take it from his grasp.
You barely even bother to scan the titles, not really in the mood for a performance at this current moment in time.
You release a sigh, “I don’t know, just put ‘Cheap Thrills’ on by Sia or something.”
You allow your gaze to be guided towards Natasha, the current reason for your disheartened tone.
Tony looks at you in concern, opting to follow your gaze over to Natasha. He gives you a supportive tap on your shoulder once he sees the scene you can’t quite take your eyes off.
Natasha is currently in deep conversation with Bruce, laughing and joking around effortlessly with him. In your opinion, neither one of them have ever hidden their interest in one another, making it all that one bit harder for you to deal with daily.
“You know Natasha, she’s-“ Tony attempts to cheer you up but you immediately stop him.
“No, Tony. It’s fine, she clearly likes him; we’re just friends, I get it.” You quickly dismiss the idea of Natasha being interested in you as more than a friend.
Tony shakes his head in amusement, “Oh my sweet, innocent y/n. You really don’t know how this game works do you?”
You cast a curious gaze towards Tony, “What do you mean?”
“I mean, that woman, though she’s scary, is head over heels for you. You’re just too blinded by your own self doubt to realise it. Let’s take a few examples into consideration; she spends her entire day’s schedule with you, without fail; gives Steve a hard time if he doesn’t partner the two of you up for training-“ Just as you go to interrupt, Tony continues, “Don’t give me that whole, ‘we have a similar skill set so it makes sense’ bull either. From the amount of effort the two of you show for each other, you’re definitely worthy of being more than ‘friends’.”
Tony uses his fingers to replicate a quotation reference, highlighting that you and Natasha have a shot of being happy together.
You bow your head down at Tony’s words, “Trust me, take this song and use it as a chance to tell Natasha how you really feel, because it’s about time she knows. If it fails, then you can just pass it off as a random song choice. Though if it works, you can thank me with a batch of those amazing cookies you make at Thanksgiving.”
You smile at Tony’s words, using his encouragement to fuel your new plan, “Thanks Tony, I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
Tony gives your hair a ruffle with his hands, causing you to shift away in annoyance, “That’s what friends are for, now come on Parker is finishing up.”
As Peter finishes up his rendition of ‘Umbrella’, you and the team applaud him, showing enthusiasm for his performance.
As you pass Peter on the way to the stage, you congratulate him for his efforts, attempting to shift out your own nervousness surrounding your performance.
As you take the stage, the team gives you a chorus of cheers, unintentionally intensifying your nerves surrounding your uneasiness of performing.
Though, with a playful wave of your hand, the team quietens down in anticipation of hearing your song.
Tony catches your attention, “Y/n/n, are you sure you want to do this song?” He gives you one final chance to change your mind if you want to.
Harnessing his earlier words of encouragement, you give him a firm nod, “Let’s do this.”
He gives you a warm smile as he inputs your song choice into the Karaoke system, as you wait for Tony to finish up, you take the time to introduce your choice to the team.
“Um, the song I chose is ‘If You Love Her’, it’s a song close to my heart because I guess it really expresses how I feel about someone here, that’s super close to me... I-I, yeah, hopefully you guys enjoy it.”
You can’t help but allow your gaze to land on Natasha, somehow wishing you had the courage to outright tell her the song is dedicated to her.
As you notice the flash of lyrics come to display on the monitor beside you, you tighten your grip on the microphone as you take it out of the stand, readying yourself to sing.
Once you hear the first melody of the song start to play, you take a deep breath to centre your nerves and start to sing.

Take it
If she gives you her heart
Don't you break it
Let your arms be a place
She feels safe in
She's the best thing that you'll ever have
She always has trouble
Falling asleep
And she likes to cuddle
While under the sheets
She loves Pop songs
And dancing, and bad trash TV
There's still a few other things
She loves love notes and babies
And likes giving gifts
Has a hard time accepting
A good compliment
She loves her whole family
And all of her friends
So if you're the one she lets in
Take it
If she gives you her heart
Don't you break it
Let your arms be a place
She feels safe in
She's the best thing that you'll ever have
She'll love you
If you love her
On days when
It feels like the whole
World might cave in
Stand side by side
And you'll make it
She's the best thing that you'll ever have
She'll love you
If you love her like that
Kiss her with passion
As much as you can
Run your hands through her hair
Whenever she's sad
And when she doesn't notice
How pretty she is
Tell her over and over
So she never forgets
Take it
If she gives you her heart
Don't you break it
Let your arms be a place
She feels safe in
She's the best thing that you'll ever have
She'll love you
If you love her
On days when
It feels like the whole
World might cave in
Stand side by side
And you'll make it
She's the best thing that you'll ever have
She'll love you
If you love her like that
She'll love you
If you love her like that
She'll love you
If you love her
She'll love you
If you love her like that
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
If you love her
On days when
It feels like the whole
World might cave in
Stand side by side
And you'll make it
She's the best thing that you'll ever have
She'll love you
If you love her like that

As you finish your last note, you allow your head to drop, attempting to shield the tears that invade your eyes at the sincerity of the lyrics surrounding the feelings you keep inside.
The team build up a round of applause at your performance, “That was awesome y/n!” Clint shouts enthusiastically.
“Great job y/n/n, that was lovely.” Steve says as he walks up beside you, giving you a side hug as he prepares himself for his go on the Karaoke machine.
You look around the room to thank everyone for their support, until you make eye contact with Natasha.
She’s leaning forwards, elbows resting on her knees as she studies you intently.
Your stomach drops once you see Bruce attempt to place a hand on her shoulder to signal her attention over to him. Though to your surprise, Natasha shrugs him off, not taking her eyes off of you for one second.
With having performed and the overwhelming sensations building from having Natasha in your presence, you opt to leave the room.
“I’m just going to get some air, thank you guys.” You quickly place the microphone back in its stand and make your way over to the compound balcony.
Once you enter the outside space, you make quick work of sliding the doors shut, hoping to have some privacy, as you take yourself over to the railings to admire the compound’s surroundings. That is until you hear the doors being opened, causing you to internally groan.
The new presence settles beside you, “Well that went well.” Tony says.
You scoff, “I don’t need the sarcasm Tony.” You rub your hands all over your face in frustration.
“I’m not being sarcastic, though I am curious as to why you’ve retreated out here.” He questions as he nudges into you slightly.
The sounds of the music coming from within makes its way to your ears, reminding you of the situation at hand.
“I just, I know what you said but I’m just worried she doesn’t feel that way about me. She’s awesome, completely and totally amazing and she’s my best friend yet I can’t vocalise everything properly like that song can. I just freak out, but deep down I want her to know I love her.”
Tony laughs, “Well, I know one thing. Throughout that song, she couldn’t take her eyes off of you. Plus, something tells me she knows that song was for her.” He says playfully.
“Oh yeah, how?” You ask doubtfully.
“Because she’s standing right here listening.” Natasha’s voice catches your attention, causing you to spin round instantly.
Tony smiles as he looks between the two of you, “I’ll leave you to it.”
He heads inside to join the others, rejoining the Karaoke night.
The silence is loud between you and Natasha. You feel awkward, knowing you shouldn’t because she’s your best friend. However she now knows you like her more than that.
“So, nice song.” Natasha says, attempting to break the tension.
You smirk, “Yeah, it’s uh, it’s great.” You internally cringe at your staggered words.
“Look, y/n-“ Natasha starts, but the tone she’s displaying lunges you into a spiral of doubt.
“It’s okay, I get you don’t feel that way about me. It’s cool, we can forget about it. You and Bruce-“ At the mention of Bruce’s name, Natasha tilts her head and raises an eyebrow.
“What does Bruce have to do with this?” She questions.
“Um, aren’t you two-“ You signal a back and forth motion between the two of them as a gesture of being together.
Natasha smiles as she shakes her head, “Why would I be seeing Bruce when there’s someone else I’m interested in?”
You can’t help how your mouth drops open slightly, you didn’t even consider that Natasha has someone else in mind, she is beautiful and all, she’s bound to have people lining up to date her.
“Oh, yes of course. I bet they’re really nice, and-“
Natasha takes a step forward and grabs your hands, “Y/n, I’m talking about you.”
You feel as though your heart has stopped to compensate for the delightful shock, “Y-you are?”
“Of course I am, y/n you’re the closest person I have in my life. You’re always there for me and you never judge me, even for my past. I can tell you always take my feelings into consideration and you’re always so patient with me if I’m struggling. I couldn’t do any of this without you. You’re my person, and I love you with the entirety of my heart. I just didn’t want to ask you out in case-“
“I said no? Yes, I know the feeling well Nat.” You both share a laugh at your mutual pining.
“What I’m trying to say is, can we be more than friends? Can we start a relationship that we both clearly want, but are too shy to ask for?” Natasha focuses her loving gaze on you.
You instantly nod at her question, “Yes, a thousand times yes!” You don’t even hesitate to bring Natasha into a hug, finally having the opportunity to have Natasha Romanoff as your girlfriend.
Natasha removes herself from the hug to plant a kiss on your head, cupping your cheeks with her hands, “Those lyrics, did you mean them?”
“Every single one, I love you Natasha, so, so much.” You confirm.
“Good, because I love you too, more than you know.” Natasha grabs one of your hands to lead you inside, until you pull her back gently, halting her movements.
“Since we’re together now, will you reconsider the no cuddling rule?” You playfully remark.
Natasha shakes her head with a laugh, “I never banned cuddling and I’ll only allow them if you let me kick your ass at Jenga more often.”
You pout your lip in thought, considering your options carefully, “Alright, I guess that’s a fair compromise.”
“Hmm, come on, I want to introduce everyone to my new girlfriend.” Natasha lets out as she urges you inside.
“You do know they all already know me, we’ve been working together for nearly a decade.” You can’t help but tease.
Natasha rolls her eyes at your words, “You’re so strange, hurry up or I’ll lock you out here all night and tell the team to ignore you.”
With that, you rush inside with Natasha, knowing that is a likely scenario to play out from her questionable sense of humour.
With now having Natasha by your side as more than a friend, you couldn’t be happier. Finally having the confidence to let her know how much she really means to you.

Daddy Danvers in this gif am I right? Also I’ve been watching a lot of Law and Order: SVU and um Olivia Benson and Alex Cabot slay my existence! Like omg they are so awesome, sassy, smart, and poor Lily has to listen to me rant about my love for them. Another really good show is One Day at a Time on Netflix and it deals with some topics tv shows normally don’t mention.
Anyways back to relevant stuff, I hope you like this, lovely anon! I apologize for its shortness. - Admin Cam
“I’ll try to go easy on you all tonight,” Lena says chuckling.
“Kara, when is (Y/N) going to get here? I need to crush Lena in Monopoly,” Alex says and Kara laughs.
“Really soon and plus we all know she is going to crush everyone. Let’s play Uno until they get here.”
They play a few game of Uno and on their fourth game are interrupted by the sound of Kara’s phone ringing. Before Kara can grab it, Alex looks at the caller ID.
Alex bursts out laughing, “You still call dad ‘daddy’?”
Kara grabs her phone smirking and looks her sister right in the eye.
“Hey, (YN), what’s up?”
From your side of the phone call after that all you hear is commotion.
Beer goes flying everywhere from Alex doing a spit take.
“Oh my god I hate both of you!” the brunette yells after she has recovered from the shock.
Maggie fists bumps Kara while laughing.
Alex glares at her, “How could you choose her over me?”
Maggie just kisses her cheek and fist bumps Kara once more. Kara thinks she has actually broke James and Winn. They just sit there with their jaws dropped in shock. Sparing a look at J’onn she sees he doesn’t look too different from them.
Kara swears she even heard Lena mutter, “You know, I always thought Kara would top…”
Since it’s Christmas...😉 can you write one where reader dresses up as sexy Santa for Kara, and says something like, “I see that you’ve been a naught girl this year” So cheesy, I know, but still 🤗

‘This is going to be perfect!’ you think when you see the red and white costume hanging in the store.
On Christmas Eve you decide to put the costume to good use. Everyone’s has left and the two of you get finished cleaning up after the annual Christmas party hosted at you and Kara’s apartment.
“Babe, you stay in here. I’m going to get one of your Christmas presents,” you say and kiss her cheek.
“I get of one of my presents early?” Kara asks curiously, but you could see the excitement in her eyes too.
“Yes and I’m positive you’re going to love it,” you head towards the bedroom, but before you’re gone say, “and no peeking with x-ray vision.”
The sound of Kara grumbling can be heard as you close the bedroom door. You put on the silky outfit and pull on a Santa hat. As you walk back into the living room, you see Kara lounging on the couch blasting Christmas music through her bluetooth speakers.
You stop in front of her and place your hands on your hips.
“Kara, dear, I see that you’ve been a naughty girl this year.”

You smile kindly at the barista as she passes you the drink you ordered and the small bag holding your pastry.
Slipping a few dollars into the tip jar, you grab some napkins, then turn to leave out.
The sounds of the café are replaced by the buzz of National City. Cars and public transports drive by and people lost in conversations rather on the phone or side by side fill the sidewalks.
Today started off perfectly. It is one of your few days off from your regular job so you’d gone into the DEO expecting to work there for the day, only for J’onn to tell you that things were surprisingly pretty slow and you could enjoy your day on an “on call” basis.
