Day 4: Mamihalpinatapei
"Is the wordless yet meaningful look shared between two people who both wish to intricate something but are reluctant to start it."
The team went to a local bar for some relaxing time with each other after a few busy months. They guys; Sam, Steve, Thor, Tony, and Clint, sat at the table drinking beer while the ladies; Natasha, Maria, Pepper, Jane, and Darcy were at the pool table.
The friends noticed at every few minutes Steve and Natasha would look up and smile at each other before continuing their conversations with their friends.
"What's up with you Cap?" Pepper asked as Darcy took her turn in the pool game. The question cause Natasha to snap her head from the blonde to her strawberry blonde friend.
"Nothing."
"Stop lying. You guys have been staring at each other since we got here." Jane added in.
"I'm serious, there's nothing going on."
"Besides the loving looks you guys have been giving each other for the past twelve minutes." Maria said as she lined up the white ball to hit her yellow one.
"Friends can't give each other looks?" the redhead asked getting slightly annoyed with her friends asking so many questions.
"Not looks of love. You know you can talk to us about anything Nat." the CEO said gently. The spy sighed as she lined up the white ball to the green hoping it would hit the blue and orange at the same time, causing her to win the game.
"I may have a small crush on Steve."
"I knew it!" Jane said with a huge grin on her face.
"If you knew why didn't you say something?"
"I wanted you to admit for yourself Tasha. Anyway how long have you had this crush on him?"
"A few months."
"And you never told him?" Maria asked next.
"No because he probably doesn't like me back."
"You would know until you talk to him. Plus you two would make a cute couple." Darcy added in with a grin.
With the guys...
"Why do you and Romanoff keep doing that?" Tony asked while putting his beer on the table.
"Doing what?" Steve asked pretending not to know what he was talking about. The look has been going on for a while now, no one knew when it started but it was stating the obvious and getting on Stark's last nerves.
"Giving each other the lovely dovely look but you two don't make a move. Admit it you like her." The guys waited for an answer for their Captain as he blushed redder then Natasha's hair. Maybe he did have a small (huge) crush on the redhead spy, but she said it once before "Love is for children." So Steve never asked her out or told her how he feels about her due to that one phrase.
"Friend Antony is right Steven. Please just admit your feelings for Lady Natasha." Thor told his friend with encouragement. The solider took a deep breath and thought of the pros and cons of telling his friends the truth. Pro he could get the truth off his chest but the con is that if he didn't tell them, they wouldn't leave him alone about it.
"Okay I like her. So what? It's not she likes me back anyways."
"How do you know that?" Sam asked.
"She told me that 'Love is for children.' So I let it go."
"So what? She told me that once too. It's all in her head because of her past. Steve, you broke down the wall she built now just tell her how you feel. Plus it pretty obvious that you like her and she likes you. Just tell her before it's too late." Clint stated seriously.
The night went on with both parties trying to make up a plan for the two to tell each other how they really feel for one other. Even if it doesn't happen tonight, Steve and Natasha will always share their special look for one another.
