"Wow, Steve! You and Nat really know how to make it spicy, huh?!" Tony laughed as Steve turned red and looked like he was about to pee his pants. "Tony shut your mouth!" Natasha yelled from a corner, "We're not dating!" Clint, who was lying on a couch listening to all this, looked like he was going to hyperventilate and die.
Steve put his head in his hands as Tony continued to tease him, he couldn't take it any longer. He stood up and ran, with the door that led in to the main area of the Tower behind him; he stepped out onto the roof. Thoughts raced in his head and made him dizzy. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. "I just ran to escape!" He muttered as he whirled around to find Natasha standing there, "Wh- Nat? What are you doing here?"
She smiled, "I thought you needed help since you ran off like your hair was on fire." He sighed in reply to her statement. Looking at her, he saw the curvaceous, slender body, the flaming red hair and the sapphire blue eyes that matched his own. He saw the woman that he had seen many, many times before. But, something was different now. Something he couldn't describe. He thought she was beautiful but it was something else… what was it? Was the word: attractive? Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. He still couldn't decide what it was.
Their eyes met. "You haven't changed since I've met you, Cap." The Black Widow said, "You've always been the super soldier I've known since day one. And yet… you shy away from teasing! You always shook it off your back when anyone teased you!" Steve walked over and caressed her, "Don't worry, Nat. I still do that. But… sometimes, there's only this much teasing I can take." Natasha personally had to admit, she liked it when Steve flirted with her. She had always felt a feeling blossom up inside her whenever his behaviour was exceedingly flirtatious. Was it love? She had no idea.
Steve looked straight in to her eyes. He leaned in and pecked her on the cheek. "Don't you ever doubt me, Romanov…" He murmured. His voice had turned into a husky growl. It was obvious that he was flirting with her. She tried to ignore it but he subtly insisted on her attention. She smiled at him and ruffled his flaxen hair as he pulled her into an embrace.
"Should we go back inside?" He asked as they pulled apart. "You tell me, Super Soldier." She replied back. Steve smiled.
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Oh very well, Cap!" She laughed, "Let's get in there and show the others what Romanogers can do!" Steve was surprised that she thought of them as a couple. "What do you mean, Nat? You really think of us as a couple?" He asked, putting his arm around her. Natasha's happy expression disappeared, "You know I was kidding right?" She said, slipping under his arm and away from him. Steve felt his heart clump up with a sense of overwhelming sadness, "Wh… what…?" He couldn't finish his sentence as he felt tears poke at the corners of his eyes.
He didn't want them to be only friends.
