Nerdy!Natasha Romanoff x Geek!Reader
Attraction has long been defined as when two opposite forces were brought together. In the case of Natasha Romanoff, a shy, introverted nerd at Avengers High, she was still looking for her opposite half.
No one really noticed her as she moved down the hallways of the high school campus. To most she was a face that blended in. She didn’t stand out to anyone. Well she did stand out to you.
She was your best friend. Calm, kind, and loving, you always saw the diamond that she always was. Her heart spoke volumes to yours. You were a geek, always obsessed with Star Wars or James Bond. There is a difference between geeks and nerds. But yet Natasha was always by your side for hangouts after school.
Natasha, despite all the logic, all the incalculable data that she had about chemistry with another person, found her heart fluttering each time you watched a Bond movie with her. Each time you smiled. Every time you cheered her up when the popular gals looked down on her or called her ugly duckling.
“It’s not calculable! The data doesn’t work!” Natasha bemoaned to her lab partner, Maria.
“What?” Maria groans, “is this about your love equation?”
“My equation of total compatibility.” Natasha answered back. “I ran simulations of Steve and I and then of Y/N and I.”
“And?” Maria looks with a bemused grin.
“It says Steve and I should be compatible but I don’t feel anything when I’m near him.”
“And (Y/N)?” Maria smirks.
“It says we have zero compatibility but yet…” Natasha huffs. “I-I think I’m in love with my best friend.”
“Oh Nattie,” Maria chuckles, “love isn’t something you quantify or try to put some equation to. Maybe what need is to test your hypothesis”
“Find out if you get sparks or butterflies when you kiss (Y/N)”
“But what if I screw up the only good friendship I have?!” Natasha nearly shouts in the middle of physics class.
“What if it becomes something amazing?” Maria asks, leaving the topic at that.
It was a dangerous game: testing such a hypothesis. On one hand, if her equation was accurate, she might lose your friendship. And if it was proven false, then she’d lose a bit of credibility, at least in her own eyes.
Such a hypothesis test came that night as you and her were watching an old James Bond movie on your couch.
“Geez how does James end up with all these girls?” Natasha asked jokingly.
“Maybe he’s secretly an alien with a powerful pheromone level?” You shrugged.
Natasha paused the movie and turned to you. “I need your help.”
“Sure! What’s up?” You flashed her a quick smile.
“I-I need to test something.” She bit her lip nervously. “Just close your eyes”
You happily obeyed. Natasha leaned in and kissed your lips. The mere touch sent sparks and shivers up and down her whole body.
Your eyes shot open. It was perfect.
Natasha pulled back a blushing, stuttering mess of a teenager. “I-I…umm…wow”
“Yeah. Wow.” You smiled, giggling a little too. “So how was your hypothesis?”
“I’m so happy to prove my equation of compatibility wrong.” She giggles.
“Maybe us being friends interferes with it somehow.” You smirked. “Maybe requires further testing.”
Hypothesis are usually proven or disproven thru various tests, Natasha thought.
“Further testing is required,” she giggles before jumping into your lap, kissing you repeatedly.
Natasha Romanoff. She was your best friend, your favorite nerd. And the love of your life. You and her still kept resting whether or not her equation was correct or not. The equation was put thru tests of dating, proposal, marriage, and eventually children.
Natasha was never more happy than to disprove her own hypothesis of compatibility. You and her, despite the data, were just perfect for each other.
