Hello! So...I have nothing to say. Read and review!
Third Person POV
The day had started out as any other in Avenger's Tower. Bruce and Tony barely made it into their beds before the alarm –or in Tony's case, Pepper- woke them to start the day. The group, excluding an unusually late, Natasha- crowded around the main kitchen.
Bruce and Tony spoke animatedly about their new invention, while Pepper emailed the company memos on the upcoming meeting come Monday. Steve and Thor played the Wii in amazement, while Clint began working in the kitchen.
"What are you cooking there, Katniss?" Tony asks smelling the frying bacon.
"Nothing for you, Stark." Was his short reply
"Well that's just rude." Tony muttered, "See if we could make JARVIS into a robot form we could have him make us breakfast." He says trying to get Bruce and Pepper to agree with him.
Unnoticed by the others the elevator beeped announcing Natasha's appearance.
"Good morning, Nat." Clint says as he sets her plate on the breakfast bar in front of him
"Morning, Clint." She replies with a smile. "Thanks."
"Wait a minute, I get it. Natasha's late to breakfast; Clint made her breakfast, you guys slept together!" Tony butts in.
The team stared at him in confusion.
"Of course we slept together; we told you we were dating last week." Natasha says in a blank tone.
Shaking their heads everyone turns back to their own devices, while Tony mumbles about old habits dying hard.
Finishing off her breakfast, Natasha rises swiftly to rinse her plate and put it in the dishwasher before Clint takes it from her and tells her to relax.
After another hour of Tony, Bruce and Pepper bickering, Steve and Thor creating characters for everyone, Natasha reading, and Clint cleaning, it is finally noon. Clint strides over to Natasha's side presenting a cupcake to her with a single candle puncturing it.
Whispering "Happy Birthday" in Russian, Clint leans down and kisses her softly on the forehead.
Back at the table, Tony can't help but try to figure out what's going on. When the cupcake is presented Pepper can't help but ask.
"Is it you're birthday, Natasha?"
"Apparently." Came her amused reply
"Well happy birthday, I would've gotten you something had I known." Pepper says guiltily.
"That's alright, thanks though." Natasha replies cutting the cupcake in half to share with Clint.
"How many years do you have now?" Thor questions in his booming voice, quickly over shadowing Steve's attempts to tell him the question is rude.
"Somewhere between twenty-seven and thirty. Luckily, I hear even if I'm over twenty-nine I can still claim it." Natasha finished with a smirk
Confused stares are shot at them from each of the others. "The Red Room didn't bother to keep track of that type of thing. So ever since we became partners, I've celebrated her birthday on the night after the first new moon in August." Clint summarizes
An awkward silence wafts into the room.
"Well at least he remembers her birthday, and it's a lot more complicated than a month and a day." Pepper exclaims glaring at Tony in mock anger
"Of course I do." Clint says with confusion coating his words, "We've been partners for, what? Eight years now?" He's answered with a shrug from Natasha, "It'd be kind of hard not to."
Pepper hits Tony with her folders as Clint gets an idea.
"Wait a minute. That makes you eight." He says pointing at Natasha who tries to hid her knowledge of what she knew he was getting at. "And you said love was for children. So if you're eight…" He is cut off by her lips covering his own.
"You figured it out." She says with a smile as she pulls away
Of all the birthday's he's celebrated with Natasha, this one would forever be his favorite.
