You were once again invited to the Avengers movie nights. It's their way to distress after a long, taxing mission. It's also a way to keep Pepper from writing long documentation reports on why Tony Stark spent thousands of dollars throwing a party for the most random, insignificant things
Under the compound, you are Natasha Romanoff's guest, you have the right to go in and out whenever you please. Natasha's Black Widow badge in your company ID lace made sure of that but you never overextend your welcome. You only come when Natasha invites you, very rarely the others for random things such as Wanda baking too much muffin or Yelena wanting to tour New York when she's back from her mission to free the Widows
But tonight, you're just Natasha's girlfriend. You're wearing your most comfortable sweater and shorts cuddled under the blanket with Natasha's heat radiating on the side of your body
The light from the television is the only thing illuminating the room, with the occasional cellphones opening and closing but the room is full of sounds, the dialogues, background music, the laughter and commentary thoughts of the members, the light chatter. You were all focused on the familial vibe of the room when Natasha squeezed your hand, making you look up, searching for her eyes
"Are you comfortable?" She asked as she pulled you closer to her by the waist
"Yeah" you nod "Being with you brings me the most comfort"
Natasha's cheeks flushed red. She's been called a lot of things, she's been all kinds of person, but she was never a comfort for anyone. It made her heart flutter, warmth spread inside of her
Natasha buried her face at the crook of your neck and you chuckled while rubbing her arm soothingly
“You have too much sweetness coming out of your mouth” she whispered
“That’s how you attract the bees and butterflies” You responded jokingly and it’s her turn to laugh
“You definitely did attract an insect but it’s neither a bee nor a butterfly” Natasha raised her head, peppering your neck with kisses and soft bites, gently sucking on your skin
You started giggling as the ticklish feeling of her lips and teeth crawl under your skin, attracting the attention of the Avengers to the two of you
Tony had a knowing smirk, your red face giving it away
"Romanoff, are you really trying to score while everyone is here?" He teased and Natasha only rolled her eyes
"I'm not trying to do anything" she denied but her hand slowly traveled down your legs
"Nat" you whispered but she kept a straight face so you had to bite your lip to stay quiet
"Whatever you're doing, keep it PG, the kids are here" Steve warned and your eyes traveled to Peter who looks flushed, Kate who innocently tilted her head and Yelena's disgusted face at her sister's actions
Seeing their faces made you more embarrassed than anything so you moved away from Natasha's hand and made her pout in response. You leaned in on her ears and whispered
"We can have a little more fun next time" and as you move away, Nat's frown turns to a grin. You knew you bit more than you can chew but if it's Natasha, she'll take care of you
You didn't realize you've fallen asleep after the first movie, you only felt Natasha's hand collecting you and the blanket in her arms with all the intention to bring you to her room so you can sleep properly. This woke you up and you suddenly felt shy as you look around the other members
"Is the movie over? I can go back home" you said, voice still raspy from the sleep
"What? No, it's already too late" Natasha said, you open your phone and read the time, it's already almost 2 am
"There are still ride services at this time" you answered and started to collect your things but Natasha's hand stopped you
"Is there something wrong with sleeping here? Is the place not comfortable enough?" She asked and you shook your head
"It's comfortable, I'm just—" you averted your eyes away from Natasha who remained still and quiet for a few second before speaking in a lower, sad tone
"Are you not comfortable sleeping with me?"
Her tone was sad, broken. It was low, like she's scared to even ask. You whipped your head back to look at her, immediately denying her claim
"No!" You said, your hands gently lifting her head so her eyes will meet yours "I just feel a bit embarrassed since this is where heroes live, I'm sure some of them wants to have space of their own, without civilian always intruding…" your voice got lower and quieter
Natasha touched your hands that's on her face and brought your palm on her lips to kiss
"Oh love, you're not just a normal civilian. Here you are my guest, someone important to me. Don't think of yourself as a stranger but a family"
"Family…" your heart leaped at the word and Natasha's smile assured you "Okay"
"Great" Natasha stood bringing you along with her "You okay to sleep here now?" You nodded and her smile widen as she lead you to her room
Natasha takes small steps in a relationship, she's guarded and careful and you understand that, you show it with patience and encouragement and the way you respect her personal space. It might seem trivial, but to you, respecting the other people she love and care about is one of your way to ensure that Natasha's big leap is one she wouldn't regret taking
Bonus:
"Is this why you never visit me even if I go radio silence for days?" She asked and you sheepishly nodded "You'd rather wait for me, worrying yourself bald than to cross some personal space?" Her raised brow made you realize how ridiculous it was you're acting
"I mean...my rule is, I will go if you disappear for like...a week or so" your voice got quieter every word and Natasha laughed, finding you extremely adorable
"Detka, you will be the death of me" she responded as she shake her head
