Warning! Tiniest of the smut is in this chapter
12 : THEIR THINGS*
The football team was just finished with their training. Luckily for them, after a month of hard practice and playing three games together. Their team started to work in sync together. And now they were enjoying a shower. Steve was dressing up and preparing for his little arrangement with Sharon this evening.
"How is your little plan going, Steve-o?" Simon asked when they were in the locker room. "I heard you are quite close with the girl now, aren't you?"
"Yeah, we learned a lot about each other"
"Don't forget the deal, man." Max chimed in "I can hardly wait to get her in my bed"
"I bet you, she will taste real nice" Brock said with an evil grin
"Yeah, I can imagine she will be real hot in bed" Simon agreed
Steve tensed up because of how his friends were talking about Natasha. He didn't like it but he didn't say anything, although his hand did almost crush his iPhone into million pieces.
"You shouldn't talk about Lady Natasha like that" Thor interrupted "She is my friend"
"Thor, I recall you also made this deal with the rest of us" Brock replied "You want to bang her as much as we all want to"
"Ney, I didn't want to do anything disrespectful to her as she is one of my closest friends, Rumlow. If you say I make a deal with you, I break it off. I'm no longer in this competition with you"
"Chicken..." Simon snorted
"Have care how you speak" Thor warned "No one ever said that an Odinson is a coward, Williams."
Both of them got up from their seats and prepared to fight with one another but Steve's commanding voice and the loud bang of his fist, landing on the locker, stopped them.
"Enough! All of you. This is the last time we will talk about this deal. No one says anything about this anymore. If any of you bleed this deal to anyone, I will find you and a brutal beat down will be bestowed upon you"
With that, Steve got up from his seat, packed his things and walked out of the locker room.
Steve knocked on Sharon's door and she immediately opened the door like she knew he was here. The blonde girl could notice the seriousness on his face.
"What's bothering you, handsome?" She asked as she pulled him by his t-shirt in the living room
"It's just the practice. That's all" He replied "Is Maria here?"
"No, she is at the library. It is just you…and me this evening" Sharon pulled his shirt off and ran her hand down his chest.
"Great" Steve's voice turned hoarse as he pulled her closer "I don't want anyone to interrupt us"
Sharon smiled and pulled him down for a kiss, slowly guiding him into her bedroom.
"Hey, Tasha!" Pepper called "Go get Maria at her room. Tony and Bruce are waiting for us downstairs right now"
"Okay!" The redhead replied and grabbed her leather jacket "I will go get her"
Natasha walked to Maria's room and knocked but there was no answer so she leaned into the door and listened. She heard a noise from behind it so she opened the door and she heard the noise louder behind the bedroom door.
She opened the door with the thought that it was Maria's bedroom.
But she was stunned by the sight she saw. Natasha was rooted in the spot as she processed; Steve Rogers, naked with Sharon Carter, also naked, on his lap as she rode him up and down, both moaning with pleasure and lust. Steve was kissing up and down her neck, hands palming her breast.
Sharon was lost in the pleasure that was building up within her but then Steve noticed someone else was standing in Sharon's room.
"What da fuck?!" Steve yelled as he saw someone at the door way "Don't you know how to knock, Romanoff?!"
"Sorry" She told, blushed deeply but still starring at them.
"Get the fuck out!" He snarled
Natasha's face turned vermillion red as she ran out of the room.
Steve laid on the bed next to Sharon, trying to catch his breath. It had been a delightful evening until Natasha showed up unexpectedly during his little arrangement with Sharon. He had a lot to talk about with his Little Red.
What was bothering him was that he wanted to know what the hell was she doing there?
Steve got up from her bed and began to dress up.
"You're not gonna stay the night?" Sharon asked as she quickly got up, wrapping the blanket around her. "We could have some more fun later tonight" She said seductively into his ear, arms wrapping his waist from behind
"You know my rule, Sharon" He replied and felt she was tightening her hold
"You're the most heartless person, Steve"
"You should blame it on your cousin, not me. She's the one who ripped it out and shattered it into million pieces"
"I still blame her about that" Sharon pouted
"Besides, I have to go see my friend"
"Who? Don't tell me you are going to see that Romanoff girl"
"Well, yes. And she is a sophomore, Sharon, not a freshman like you"
"Fine" She said and turned him to face her "See you again next Wednesday" Sharon kissed him and bit his lower lips lightly
"Looking forward to it"
He fully dressed up and gave Sharon one more kiss before he walked out the door and went straight to Natasha's room. His hand banged on the door loudly.
"Romanoff! I need to speak with you" He called.
Natasha opened the door. She was in her pajamas. Steve saw Tony, Pepper and Clint were in the room and were staring at them so he pulled her out and close the door behind her.
"What are you doing in Sharon's room?" He questioned, intense blue eyes stared at her.
"It's nothing" She said, avoiding his eyes contact
The fact that she just saw him having sex with his one night was above all of the reason she wanted to stay away from him. She didn't like the feeling that crept up within her when she thought about him and Sharon.
"What were you doing in that room?" He asked again, voice turned low and demanding
"I just went there to find Hill because it's our group dinner time" She said "That's all"
"Sorry I yelled at you like that"
"I completely understand. I would do the same if you walk into me naked"
"I was just hoping you would say 'walking into your room while you were having sex with someone' In that case, I would join you for an incredible threesome"
Natasha rolled her eyes "You are really a disgusting person" She sighed and turned away from him "So you are dating Sharon?"
"Nahhhh" He replied "She's just my Wednesday"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, it's a mutual agreement between me and her. She knows I have rules and I don't date. This is the closest thing I can give to her"
Natasha just thought about the conversation she had with Peggy Carter a couple days ago and she suddenly realized that Sharon had the same surname as Peggy. Sharon is Peggy's cousin.
"Wait a minute" Natasha said and raised her hand to stop him "Her name is Sharon Carter, right?" Steve nodded "So she's related to Peggy?"
"I know, it's awesome, right? I banged both of the Carters!"
"There is something seriously wrong with you" She shook her head in disapproval "Peggy is obviously important to you. Why would you speak of her like she is one of your one nights?"
"Don't speak like you know me, Romanoff." He retorted before he narrowed his eyes as he also realized that he never told her anything about Peggy Carter "And how the hell do you know Peggy?!"
"I just talked to her a couple days ago"
"What? And now you stalking my private life too! I can't believe it"
"It's not that! I just accidentally met her and we talked"
"Then how did you know about her? Did someone tell you about that?" Steve raised his voice in a very threatening way, eyes filled with anger "Tell me, Natasha!" He bellowed
Natasha winced but didn't break eye contact with him. This was the first time he used a voice like that with her. His face changed from cheerful to angry. His hands held her arms tightly.
"I asked around because you were acting really weird this week" She stated "I asked you but you never tell me anything. I thought we are friends and you could tell me anything"
"But that does not justify the way you went behind my back and asked around like this, especially asked it from Peggy!" He yelled "I trusted you! That's not the way you treat a friend!"
"How am I supposed to know that I shouldn't have asked her?! You never tell me anything and I didn't know that she was off limits!" Natasha yelled back, she never backs down from anything even what was in front of her, a very angry Steve Rogers.
"Don't go fucking snoop around my private life ever again, are we clear?!" He bellowed
His eyes were burning with anger and rage. It's was like the ocean on fire. Natasha knew it was time for her to back down as it was her fault too. She already hit his limit and she could see that he was trying really hard not to lose control and hurt her.
"Do we have a problem here?" A voice came from behind them and It was Clint Barton standing at the doorway with Tony Stark behind him.
"No, Clint. We were just talking" Natasha replied
"Really? Because it's sounded like the other way around"
Strangely, Steve let go of Natasha's arms. His eyebrows frowned as he looked at her one more time before walking away.
Natasha saw the anguish in his eyes and it left her feeling sorry about the whole thing. Most of all, he didn't give her a chance to say she was sorry.
The redhead sighed. She crossed the line this time.
The next day, Natasha was waiting for Steve to pick her up at her room but he didn't show up. He didn't even call or message her or anything. Actually, he didn't show up all day and at their group dinner either.
She heard from Darcy that he was hanging out with his football friends again. They were out hunting for girls in the city tonight.
"This is weird" Clint noted "He never acted like this with you"
They were sitting quietly at their usual table at their usual diner. Tony pouted all night because his wingman was absent. Clint had not yet mastered the game of getting into women's pants (As Tony and Steve called it). The meal was indeed boring and quiet.
"This is the first time I've seen him angry at you, Nat" Pepper said
"Yeah, I know I crossed the line this time" Natasha replied
"Why did he have to be that angry? It isn't like himself at all. Why did he care about that girl?" Jane asked
Tony looked up from his food and gave them the answer, "Peggy Carter was the only girlfriend he ever had and the only one he ever used the word 'love' with. The story about her is still a perfect button if you want to hurt him or pissed him off"
That was the thing that hit Natasha. She hurt Steve Rogers and she never intended to do it.
"That's it! I will go apologize to him tomorrow" Natasha decided
"And how do you plan it exactly?"
"I will buy him his favorite apple pie from his favorite restaurant"
Everyone was just staring at her like they didn't believe what they just heard.
"Why you feel the need to buy an apple pie to apologize to him?" Pepper asked
"It's our thing"
"Our thing?" Pepper repeated curiously, eyebrow quirked up
"Yeah, that's what we do" Natasha replied, completely unaware of how intimate her answer sounded "When we have a little misunderstanding or an argument, he always buys me a carton of Ben & Jerry's Cheesecake Brownie."
"Are you guys married yet?" Tony teased
"Shut up, Tony. I'm being serious!" Natasha said "But he is avoiding me and I cannot find him"
"Then you should talk to Phil. He is Steve's assistance. That guy knows everyone's whereabouts"
Natasha was working on the plan to talk with Steve but first, she must know where he is right now. She arranged a meeting with Phil Coulson, Steve's assistant, on the rooftop of their dorm. With a little help from Clint, of course.
"You really pissed him off, you know that?" A voice came from behind Natasha.
"Hey, Phil" Natasha greeted as the assistant sat down next to her "And I do know that I pissed him off really bad"
"That is one of two things that you should never push. That of two buttons"
"What is it?"
"Peggy Carter and His childhood best friend, James 'Bucky' Barnes. Never ever ask him about them or snoop, asking around. You have to let him be the one who tell you about these two subjects"
"I just wanted to look out for him, Phil. He is my friend" Natasha said. "And right now I want to make it up to him"
Phil was gauging whether he should trust Natasha and tell her where Steve was or not. But he also could see that she really did care about him.
"Please, Phil. I just want to clear things up"
"He is in his room right now" Phil told "And you have to bang the door, not knocking. Bang it repeatedly and he will swing the door open without asking who that was"
"Thanks, Phil."
Steve was lounging on the couch, randomly watching a TV show, when someone banged his door repeatedly.
Whoever is on that side of the door will get a real nice black eye for banging his door like this, he thought as he got up from his seat.
He swung the door opened immediately and he was stunned to see who that was. Natasha Romanoff was standing in front of him. He put on his defensive stance.
"What do you want?" He asked coldly, obviously still angry with her.
"I want to apologize. I shouldn't..."
"Yeah, you shouldn't"
"Just let me finish... I shouldn't have done that to you and talked to you like that. I shouldn't have been snooping around like that. I just wanted to figure out what's going on with you and that was just worried about my friend. I'm sorry, Steve"
He looked at her with a cold stare and kept his distance, he didn't give away any sign that he forgive her.
"And to show you that I really am sorry, I brought you your favorite apple pie" She smiled playfully and presented him with his favorite dessert
"You trying to bribe me into forgiving you?"
"Is it working?"
He allowed his lips to twitch up a little "Yeah, kinda."
"Awwwww, come on! I said I'm sorry. What do you want more from me, Rogers?"
"Just don't go around my back again" He said "You know you can ask me anything and you will get the truthful answer, Nat. I already gave you my word about that"
"I know and I'm still sorry about it" She said and used the best adorable puppy dog eyes on him.
Steve knew that it was hard for him to resist it. Something in him had meltdown.
"Don't be." He gently said and gave her a small smile "I already forgive you. Besides, I couldn't be angry at you for long. I missed my little red"
Her full smile appeared and Steve pulled her into a hug
"So…we are good now?" She murmured
"Yes, we are. And I'm sorry too. I should not yell at you like that."
"I forgive you"
Steve let out another smile of pure happiness "So… shall we eat this delicious apple pie?"
"We shall"
AN: It was a slow build, okay guys! Just hang in there with me.
