Natasha wanted to say she didn't feel anything to that fire girl. She wanted and she did, but Clint just smirked. Nat cursed under her breath and took a sip of her drink.
- I know you better than you think - he whispered playfully. Nat rolled her eyes. She almost had enough. If it wasn't for Clint and booze, she would be already in training room. She didn't want to be here now. Stark and Rhodey were already dancing on the table, Thor, Bucky and Steve were watching them and laughing, Banner sat with Dr Cho and talked with her, probably about some science. And there was [Y/N], sitting with Sam, Pietro, Wanda and Vision. They were playing Truth or Dare and Nat just wanted to punch Mr Falcon right in these perfect teeth, because he was just too friendly toward [Y/N].
- Leave it, Clint, really - she mumbled and turned her gaze from the [y/h/c] girl.
- I'm not saying it's bad, Nat, you know it - he said, now looking at his beer. - I'm happy that you found someone you really like, but if you're going to hide it, it will be painfull.
- I know it - she whispered and clenched her palm. - I just... I don't know. I just have that feeling that she's too precious for me. I mean, I was in the Red Room, I was killing people without hesitation. And I know she's a badass, I saw her on the field. It's just... She never killed anyone. She's here just because she's a mutant and can controll a fire...
For a second there was silence and then quiet snort, so Nat looked at Clint with raised eyebrows.
- Wow, sorry, I just... I didn't expect something like that. Sorry - he cleared his throat. - Okay, you got a point. You killed, she didn't. And?
Natasha raised her eyebrows once again.
- When I didn't have a guts to ask Laura out you told me that past doesn't matter and now you're saying something completely different. Besides, you didn't have that problem with Banner - Clint shrugged and took a sip of his beer.
- Yeah, because with Banner it was just a stupid crush - Nat hissed more to her drink than to her best friend.
- Okay, okay. I feel like you don't want to talk about it now - Barton sighed and turned around on the stool to face the rest of the team. - Do you want to join them? - he nodded toward the Thor and Steve. Bucky joined the Truth or Dare team, so Stark and Rhodey didn't have the biggest audience.
- Yeah, why not? - Nat sighed and hopped off the stool.
- So... What are we doing on Christmas this year? - Steve asked. Bucky looked at him, shrugged and got back to eating his cereal.
- Stark is already planning the party - Natasha mumbled, scrolling through the news.
- Did I hear 'party'? When, where and who's going to be there? - [Y/N] walked through the door, still in her pyjamas and still with bed hair. Nat looked up and tried her best not to smile at the sight, but failed miserably, so she just went back to reading news.
- Here, in tower. 25 December. We're going to be there. And a lot of other people too - Clint answered, drinking his 3rd cup of coffee already.
- Oh, nice. So in 2 days. Okay - [Y/N] mumbled to herself and opened the fridge. She stood there for a moment, but then she closed it. - I need to speak to Wanda. Maybe she has some nice dress - she muttered and almost run out of the kitchen. Natasha laughed quietly, but stopped when she noticed Clint's smirk.
- Guess who knows something very interesting! - Sam sang, when he walked into the living room. Now there was only him, Nat, Wanda, Vision and Bucky. Everyone looked up at Sam. - It's about [Y/N] - he wiggled his eyebrows and smiled at Natasha. - So, apparently, she's...
Suddenly someone's hand pressed against his lips. Red light surrounded him in the same moment that Vision appeared in front of Falcon.
- It's not nice to tell everyone someone's secret - Pietro said in sweet tone and let the Falcon go, but Wanda still had Sam surrounded with her magic. Bucky was almost killing him with his gaze.
- Okay, okay, sorry. I won’t say anything - Sam said, raising his hands. Wanda's magic disappeared, Vision got back to his seat, but Buck was still trying to kill Sam with one single glare. Falcon walked out of the living room, mumbling something about not having fun with these people.
Nat sighed looking at herself in the mirror. She knew she looked good, but in her head there was still the million what if's. What if her dress was too tight? What if it wasn't elegant enough for Christmas party? What if her makeup was too bold? What if the curls at the back of her head didn't look as good as she thought? What if the heels didn't actually match her dress? She groaned quietly and looked at the ceiling. When did she start to think like that?
- Jesus fucking Christ, what that girl is doing to me? - she whispered into blank space with small smile. She shook her head and turned toward the door.
When she got to the party, there was already a lot of people. Natasha looked around to see if anyone from her team was there. She didn't have problem with people or crowds. She was freaking Black Widow for God's sake. But now she didn't want to talk to women who just wanted to show off their bodies and judge everyone else or with men who would look at her boobs and probably try to drag her back to their room. So she looked around carefully and she almost got a heart attack when she saw [Y/N]. Her [y/e/c] eyes was almost sparkling, her brightly red lips stretched in wide smile as she listened to some man. She nodded at him and looked around discreetly. When she locked her eyes with Natasha's, she sent her the awkward 'help me' look. Nat nodded, put on her the best poker face and walked confidently toward [Y/N]. When she was close enough to hear their coversation, she almost attacked the man.
- But you're too pretty to be lesbian. I mean, you don't look like one. So, if you're saying that, because you want to disgust me, it's not working, beautiful...
And then he reached to [Y/N]'s face and tried to touch her cheek, but she took a step back. Natasha was already next to him. She walked past him and looked at [Y/N], looking for any sign of fear. When she didn't find any, she turned around to face the guy, partly hiding [Y/N] behind her.
- Why did you try to touch my friend? - she asked, looking straight into his eyes.
- Oh, I'm sorry. Have we met? I'm Connor Stevad - he smiled slightly.
- I don't care. I asked you a question, it'd be nice, if you answer - she said, still not breaking the eye contact. Her gaze was apparently too intence for the man, because he broke it after a few seconds. He mumbled something about his friend and walked away quickly.
- Geez, he was annoying - [Y/N] laughed slightly, when Nat turned around to look at her. Romanoff was serious for a few more seconds, but she couldn't not smile, when [Y/N] was looking at her like that, with that soft smile and that sparkling eyes.
- Yeah, that type of guys are the worst - she sighed, letting her guard down. She felt like she was drowning in [y/e/c] eyes, like she was melting just because of [Y/N]'s smile. And she felt like [Y/L/N] had control over Nat's mind. And she probably did.
- Oh, look. It's Sam. And Buck!
The moment ended and Nat was dragged back to reality. [Y/N] was already walking toward the boys, so Romanoff followed her, wanting it or not. She didn't really listen to anyone from that moment. So knew that she would flip, if Sam and [Y/N] start to flirt in front of her, so she excused herself and walked up to the bar.
Several hours later the party was still at its best. Nat finally sat next to other Avengers, between Banner and Clint. They were talking with some guests. Romanoff tried to talk with them too, but her eyes always tried to find [Y/N]. Damn, what that girl did to the coldhearted Black Widow? Natasha was asking herself that for about year now.
Now Romanoff was watching as [Y/N] and Sam danced and talked, clearly about something upsetting [y/h/c] girl. Suddenly Falcon looked at Nat, catching her staring. He smirked and said something to [Y/N], but she just shook her head. Sam stepped back and grabbed [Y/L/N], turned around and pushed toward the Nat, Bruce and Clint. And when they finally was next to the sofa, Sam looked at Nat.
- I want to talk with these gentelmen right here. Can you, please, accompany [Y/N/N]? - he said with his evil smirk. Romanoff cursed in her head, but smiled sweetly and nodded.
- Of course, Sam - she said, her voice almost dripping with sugar. She stood up and turned toward the girl. - Do you want to get a drink?
- Yeah, drink would be nice - [Y/N] said, her voice slightly higher than usual. She cleared her throat and put her hair behind her ear. Romanoff smiled and led her toward the bar.
- So, ladies and gentelmen! What's a Christmas party without the winter's best hits, right? - Stark said to the mic. Romanoff sighed and rolled her eyes. Tony was having a time of his life, just like on every party he attended. When 'All I want for Christmas is you' started to play, Nat felt a gentle grip on her wrist. She tensed instinctively, but relaxed when she saw it was [Y/N]'s hand. Romanoff looked at the girl concerned. [Y/N] was nervous for some reason, she couldn't look at her. Nat was already drowning in conclusion. Maybe she knew about Nat's feelings toward her? Maybe that was her secret? Maybe Sam tried to convince her that rejecting someone wasn't that bad?
- Um... Natasha, do you want to... Just, please, don't laugh. Do you want to dance with me?
Romanoff was completely shocked. Like, shocked wasn't enough to express her emotions right now.
- I mean, if you don't want to it's fine...
- No. I'd love to - Natasha cut the girl off with the most serious, yet gentle voice anyone ever heard. [Y/N] looked at her with surprise written all over her face. - I'd love to dance with you, [Y/N] - she smiled slightly and gently grabbed her hands. Romanoff placed [Y/L/N]'s palms on her shoulders. Natasha herself gently and slowly pulled [Y/N] closer, her hands on the small of the girls back. They started to sway to the music. It was awkward as hell.
Natasha cleared her throat and [Y/N] looked at her, waiting for whatever Romanoff wanted to say. 'Now or never' Nat thought to herself. She leaned closer, her lips just right next to [Y/N]'s ear.
- Do you want to go out with me sometimes? - Nat whispered, not daring to look straight at the girl.
Romanoff smiled widely and rested her forehead on [Y/N]'s shoulder. The girl pulled her closer and hugged her tightly. In that moment they both were the happiest girls in the room.
- Hey, man. Look - Sam whispered to Clint, pointing at Nat and [Y/N]. They were dancing, Romanoff leaned and said something to the girl. Suddenly she lit up like a Christmas tree, her smile wider than ever before.
- Finally - Barton sighed, rolling his eyes. He tried to look annoyed, but he was already texting his wife to told her literally everything.
