Chapter 1

Steve placed his sunglasses on as he exited the plane. The bright sunlight fell onto him as the cool wind brushed his skin. The sound of the waves filled his ears as he stretched his arms.

"Welcome to Hawaii." a woman in a grass skirt greeted as she placed a blue and white colored flower lei around his neck and placed a kiss on his cheek. He smiled in thanks as he blushed and saw another woman walk over and give him an identical necklace and kiss on his cheek.

Luckily Natasha got him away before a third woman could do the same and Steve was sure he had seen her take a picture of the women giving him the necklaces. Maybe he was still waking up from the long nap he'd taken on the plane.

The flight had taken hours and he had been smart to sleep most of the time. The chairs in first class had been very comfortable and it had been peaceful. Natasha had been nice enough to take him when the pilot had announced they were a few minutes away from landing.

"Hawaii at last." Natasha happily exclaimed as she stood next to Steve as they walked into the airport to claim their luggage. "I'm going to like it here."

"I think I am too." Steve said with a smile. He quickly spotted their bags and grabbed them without giving Natasha the chance to grab her own. He was perfectly capable of carrying all four of their bags.

"You're too much of a gentleman Steve." Natasha said as they started to leave.

"So I've heard." Steve said with a smirk as they walked outside where they quickly spotted their taxi waiting.

Luckily it wasn't far to their hotel and they were able to get there in just a few minutes. Steve couldn't help but smirk when he saw Natasha grin as she swipped one of the seven credit cards Tony had provided them after loosing the bet.

Checking into their hotel was simple and the two were soon on their way up the elevator to their floor. It only took a few seconds for them to reach the fifteenth floor and only a minute to locate their room.

The two Avengers were in awe at the sight of their suite when they walked in.

It was brightly colored with luxorious furniture in the living room with a fire place, large windows that gave them a great view of the beach and ocean, two seperate master bedrooms, a small but nice kitchen, a small dinning area, seperate bathrooms and even a small laundry room hidden in a closet.

Natasha took her two bags and quickly claimed one of the rooms while Steve took the other.

The former assassin placed her bags on the floor next to the bed as she admired the room. Large and spacious and the bathroom was incredible.

"This is going to be amazing." she exclaimed happily walking back into the living area. "I'm not sure two weeks is long enough to stay."

"I'd agree with you on that but we still need to get back home and spend more of Tony's money in front of him." Steve said with a smirk as he came out of his room.

"Good point." Natasha said walking over to the glass balcony door and opened it to let in the ocean air.

They walked out onto the balcony and enjoyed the wind and sun. They watched as the ocean waves rolled onto the sandy beach where dozens of tourists were located and a few more were spotted in the water on surf boards.

"What should we do first?" Steve asked.

"How about we just get settled in?" Natasha offered. "That was a long flight and I think the jetlag is finally catching up to me."

"Sounds good to me." Steve said. "Go ahead and rest and I'll make us dinner. Just gotta run to the closest market."

"Make sure that whatever you need is the expensive brand." Natasha reminded as Steve put his sunglasses on once more.

"Oh don't worry. I won't forget." he vowed with a smirk before leaving the room.

Natasha chuckled as she turned back to the view. It wasn't long until she spotted Steve leaving from the front of the building and heading down the road.

She smiled as she watched him slowly fade into the distance. It wasn't until the whole bet situation that she really got to start knowing more about him. He was a sweet and wonderful person with a heart of gold.

Though he was still troubled by his past, Steve was making a great stride to accepting this new life he was tossed into. He was getting more and more use to the way things were now and he wasn't letting anything stop him from being the same person he's always been.

Heading back inside and shutting the balcony door, Natasha returned to her room. She went through a her bags and found comfortable clothing to change into. Once she was changed she climbed onto her queen sized bed and laid down for a quick nap.

Natasha woke and one look at the clock told her that she had been asleep for nearly two and a half hours. Mentally kicking herself for sleeping so long on the first day of vacation, she got up, grabbed one of her bags and took a quick hot shower.

When she came out she could hear sounds coming from the kitchen and the smell of something cooking that made her stomach rumble with hunger.

As she dressed and fixed her hair, she could hear Steve moving about. Sounding like he was walking from one point of the room to the next.

She figured he was just settle the meal on the dinning room table but she was proven wrong when she came out of her room and spotted Steve out on the balcony where he had set up a table for two with freshly cooked seafood on the table.

Each plate had a bright red lobster, a bowl of salad sat between their plates with a small container holding butter next to it, a small basket holding freshly baked rolls sat next to the butter and a bowl holding steamed crab was opposite of that.

Natasha smiled at Steve as he popped open a bottle of what looked to be fine red wine. The soldier looked up in time to see her walk out onto the balcony with him.

"I thought you might like something classy to drink with dinner." Steve said pouring the red wine into Natasha's glass before pouring some for himself.

"Wow Steve. This looks great." Natasha said. She smiled when Steve pulled out her chair for her. She sat and then he took his own seat. Soon their plates were filled and they began to eat.

Natasha smiled when she felt the flavor dance on her tongue after taking the first bite of steamed crab.

"Steve, this is amazing." She exclaimed.

"Thank you." Steve said with a shy smile.

"Where did you learn to cook like this?" Natasha asked before taking another bite of crab.

"Here and there. Mostly from the war. Had to improvice with what we had but I picked up new ideas during the days off we had at the tower. Thor really loved being the sampler." Steve explained.

"Well you did a great job learning." Natasha said. "I wish Clint could have learned to cook like this during the missions we had together."

Steve lightly chuckled.

"He's not very skillful when it comes to a frying pan?" he asked.

"Let's just say that Clint most extensive knowledge when it comes to cooking is where to put the bread in the toaster." Natasha answered making Steve laugh.

"Still, I don't think he's as bad as Tony." the blond soldier said. "If it wasn't for Jarvis and Ms. Potts, I'm sure Tony would have withered away a long time ago."

"Too true." Natasha said. "I think Tony should just change Jarvis' voice to a woman's and call him his wife. He talks to Jarvis almost as much as he does anyone else and Jarvis knows how Tony works."

"That'd be a little strange." Steve said thinking about what she said. "Actually, it wouldn't be any stranger than things Tony has already done."

Natasha chuckled before picking up her glass and holding it out. Steve picked up his own glass.

"Here's to the best two weeks ever." she said.

"Best two weeks ever." Steve said as the clinked their glasses.

"I'm gonna go banktrupt." Tony declared.

"Tony, they've only been gone for one day. I don't think they could max out your cards in that short amount of time." Bruce said from the armchair with a thick book in his hands.

"Uh this is the Black Widow and Captain America we're talking about." Tony said flat out. "Natasha is going to spend a fortune just showing Steve the scenery and who knows what else they'll be doing."

"Guess now you know not to make bets with the two of them again." Clint saying lying across the couch with a weapons magazine in hand.

"No kidding. They both proved me wrong and there's a tape to prove it." Tony stated. "Either way, they wouldn't let me live it down."

"Let them enjoy it." Bruce said. "You tease Steve a lot and he's still getting use to how things are in this time. After everything he's been through, he deserves some time off to relax and have fun."

"Yeah, you're right." Tony admitted. "I do give the old man a hard time a lot. I wonder how much he's going to make me suffer for it."

"Couple hundred thousand should do it." Clint said casually.

Tony lightly groaned and poured himself his fourth glass of scotch.
