“Tony’s legendary party” or “Maria Hill and the brown leather jacket”
Her head hurt, when she climbed up the small ladder in front of her. It was definitely to much alcohol that evening. But not even she can stand the drinking contest with Natasha. She opend the hatch above her and stepped out of the roof. Immediately she feels how the fresh air make her had feel better. The view from the Avanger-Tower is amazing, but from the top of the roof it’s indescribable. Since Maria started to work for Tony it’s her favourite place to go, whenever she needs a break. No one ever comes up here. So at this evening on one of Starks legendary party’s she just needed to escape and be alone. She never liked social events that much, but now in her job she needs to go to some of them. Mostly just to be the eye candy, when Pepper is not around.
Maria breathed deep in and out, when she hears something behind her. As she turned around, the hatch was opened and the face of Steve Rogers came up. “Oh, I'm sorry”, he said, “I thought I was alone up here.” When he tried to get back down, Maria said: “It’s okay, stay.” Steve took the last steps and climbed on the roof. “Didn’t know my secret spot was discovered by someone else”, Maria said. “YOUR secret spot? That’s my secret spot.”, Steve said playful. Maria smiled. “What are you doing here?”, he asked. “Needed air.” “You could get some air on the balcony too.” “Too much people.” “Okay, that’s a reason.”, Steve laughed. “And you?”, Maria nodded in Steves direction. “Trying to avoid Natasha’s try’s to find me a date for the next party.” “She is still doing this?”, Maria asked and turned so she can face Steve. “Still?” “Yeah, she tried to set me up too. But I think after a few times she checked, that this isn’t a thing she can do with me.” “What did you do?” “Just showed her, that I am capable of doing this by my own.”, Maria felt her face blushing, after she said that. Oh god, she was really drunk. Under normal circumstances, she never would say something. Especially not in front of Steve. Steve smiled at her, what made her face even more blush. She turned herself away from him, and faces the city again. In the next moment her body shivers. It was colder outside then she thought it would be. She should have bing a jacket up here, but now it’s too late. Then Maria realised, that Steve already took his jacket of and wrapped it carefully around her shoulders. The brown leather jacket, she couldn’t take her gaze of the whole evening, because it fitted him so damn good. Her arms slipped automatically in the sleeves and she still felt the warmth of his body. “Thank you.” Steve just smiled.
They stand just there, when Steve hiccuped. Maria faced him and laughed. “Too much of Thor’s mead?”, she asked. But Steve didn’t laughed back. Instead he looked at her with that serious gaze of him and said: “Did anyone ever told you how beautiful you are, when you laugh?” Marias smile escaped her face. She stared at him and in the moment she tried to say something, cupped Steve her face and pulled her close. When their lips met, she feels her whole body heating up immediately. She realised, she was just staying there and doing nothing, when Steve pulled back slowly. She wrapped her hand around his neck and clawed the other in his button down, to stop him from ending the kiss.
She couldn’t tell, how long they stand there, but it felt like an eternity when they broke the kiss. “That was...”, Steve started, but Maria pressed her finger on his lips. “Don’t ruin it Rogers.”, she said with a smile. At this moment the firework started. Another thing, that Tony’s partys are legendary for. They turned around and Maria said: “Could it get more cheesy? A offered jacket, a kiss on the rooftop and a firework? What is this? A fucking movie?” “If this were a movie, you would not have said ‘fucking’ and kissed me instead again.”, Steve said amused. When Maria faced him again, they didn’t need another word. The second kiss was more passionated then the first one. When they broke it, they didn’t stepped away. They just stood there like this. Steve’s lips rested on Maria’s forehead and her hands were wrapped around his neck. Maria’s phone rang and both got frightened. After she checked the display, she looked at Steve. “Natasha asks where I am, and if I know where you are. I think we should go back.” Steve just nodded.
When they climbed down the ladder, Maria said: “I think it’s the best, if I wait a few minutes, before going back to the Party.”, Steve nodded again, but now there was a bit of sadness in his gaze. He turned around and grabbed for the door. “Steve”, Maria said. He turned around again. “Maybe we could continue this later?” A smile came up to Steve’s face, then he pressed Maria’s back to the wall and kissed her. When he left the room, Maria’s knees where still weak and her heart beat fast. This wasnt definitely something, what she expected from one of Tony’s party’s. And then she realised, that she still wore the brown leather jacket.
