So I hope you liked the last chapter! EXAMS ARE OVER! YES! And that means more fanfiction too :)
Previously
Clint and Natasha are now together and all the girls went out to get mind-boggling dresses to stun the boys with. Clint is now escorting her to the party. :) Couldn't be bothered to write what actually happened previously.
I walked in with Clint on my arm and everyone turned round to stare at me. Everyone.
A few people actually looked happy for us, but most of them looked very jealous.
A couple of photographers took some photos of us. Of course there would be photographers. It's Tony Stark.
I just ignored all of them, walked towards Tony and Pepper in the kitchen and the guests went back to socialising.
"Blackeye!" Stark shouted. New nickname. Yay.
"Well, it's better than Blackhawk." Clint said.
"Glad you could make it." Stark said pouring himself a drink.
"You both look amazing!" Steve said.
"Thank you." I replied.
"Nice necklace." Pepper said with a knowing smile.
"Cheers. Where's Maria?" I said to Cap who looked speechless.
He was scaring me and looked a bit like a standing corpse.
"Cap?" I asked and I noticed the whole room go quiet apart from the distance background music.
I followed Steve's transfixed eye-line to one Maria Hill.
Oh my Thor.
The outfit looked even better with her hair tied up and some light make-up on.
Most of the guests were agents and had not seen her out of her S.H.I.E.L.D gear.
All their mouths were dropped. She looked like a goddess.
Cameras snapped her gorgeous form, but the photographers were not taking their eyes off of her.
"Looking hot Hill." Stark shouted and Pepper hit him on the shoulder.
Maria just rolled her eyes, walked over and then the guests went back to partying.
"Nice Tony." she said and then turned to Steve, smiling, saying "Hello Captain."
He just stood there. Staring at her. Really obviously staring at her. God, men are so stupid sometimes.
"Cap?" she said worryingly waving a hand in front of his face.
He shook himself a bit and then meaningfully said "You look beautiful."
Maria smiled and said "Thank you."
After staring at each other for about 10 seconds Stark decided to ruin the moment.
"*cough cough* Captain Hill. Report?"
Maria shook herself back to reality and began stuttering "I...I..I ju-just mean that um...that's better than...than Starks comment..."
"Well you know what Stark is like." I said trying to change the subject. Maria noticed and gave a me grateful smile.
"Pepper, tell them that i'm a nice person really." Tony said.
"I could say that, but then I would be lying." Pepper smiled.
"Uh, you're so mean to me." he complained.
Pepper offered us drinks and we talked for ages about Tony's manners, the tower and S.H.I.E.L.D.
After a while, Clint turned to me when a slow dance came on.
"Miss Romanoff, would you care for a dance with me?"
"Of course, Mr. Barton." I replied smiling.
He led me onto the floor, we put our arms around each other and began to dance.
People were pretending not to stare.
"You know everyone's looking at us right?" Clint said as he looked at the guests over my shoulder.
"I know. I expected it really. Even Fury has a bet on us."
He pulled his head back to face me.
"What? No way. I bet him and Coulson have had secret meetings about us."
"I wouldn't be surprised." I said, leaning forward and kissing him on the lips.
I tightened my hands that were wrapped around his neck and he tightened his grip on my waist pulling him closer to me.
The kiss seemed to last for ages and I got completely lost in the moment that I didn't realise that cameras were clicking away all around us.
I pulled away and smiled looking into his eyes. He was so beautiful. He smiled back at me and we continued to dance.
From over Clint's shoulder, I could see Steve talking to Maria.
Do it.
Do it.
Do it.
Cap is stammering as usual.
Maria is interrupting him.
And grabbing his hand.
And pulling him onto the dance floor.
Oh my God!
"Clint you need to see this!" I said spinning us round so he could see what was happening.
"Oh my God. Cap's dancing with Hill!" Clint exclaimed as cameras were going crazy around both of them.
We continued dancing to give Maria and Steve two less pairs of eyes staring at them.
"That is going to be front page news tomorrow." I said.
"No. I bet Stark is going to do something stupid like explode the tower and take all the attention."
"Probably." I said smiling putting my head on his chest. I am so tired.
How did this happen so fast?
It is 11pm. We've only been together for nearly 12 hours.
"It's been one hell of a day." he said.
"It's like you can read my thoughts. Do you want to know what I want to do now?" I said.
"Punch Stark?" he guessed.
I laughed and said "No. Well, yes, but I always want to do that." I looked over at Stark trying to balance pineapples on his head. What an idiot.
"I want to sleep." I said quietly.
"Same. Lets just leave. I can't be bothered to say goodnight to everyone." he said taking my hand and pulling me towards the corridor of rooms.
Once we were out of the way of the annoying cameras, I put my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around me.
We got to the end of the corridor and he asked "You're room or mine?"
I was happy that he knew where we stood.
"Yours." I said and we walked through his door.
He shut the door and I flopped face down on the bed.
He came over and said "You're going to regret sleeping with that on."
"Excuse me..." I said picking my head up off the bed and looking at him with raised eyebrows.
He started to get nervous. "I jus- I just meant that..you know..i-it's..it's not very comfortable to you know...like.." I decided to stop teasing him.
"Barton, I'm just messing with you. Now come and help me get out of this stupid dress."
"Stupid? It's purple. Nothing purple is stupid." he said as he brought me to a standing position and started to unzip the back of the dress.
"That's only your opinion. And it doesn't count."
"Hey, that's unfair."
"Not my problem" I smiled as the dress dropped to the floor and I turned around just in my underwear.
He kept looking at my face. I think he thought that if he looked any further I would attempt to kill him.
"You can look at me, you know. I'm not going to put a gun to your head like my targets." I said.
He looked at my body, never stopping for too long at one bit, and smiled saying "You're beautiful Natasha." His gaze returned to my face and his smiled made me grin too.
"So" he said walking towards his wardrobe and taking out a shirt. "What do you think of Cap and Hill?"
"I think they deserve each other. Steve has waited way too long to get a girlfriend! I wonder whether she was his first kiss since 1945?" I said as I sat down on the bed and he was taking off his trousers and his shirt. I found it very difficult to not stare at his body.
"Probably. I read his file. Peggy Carter. Seems like the kind of person Cap would go for. I mean, Hill and her are very similar." he said putting a new t-shirt over his gorgeous muscles. Damn it.
"Yeah. She deserves him too. I've never even seen her with a boyfriend or...anything!"
"She is not known as Maria Chill for nothing you know."
I got the nearest pillow and threw it at him.
"Hey! I don't do it!" he argued coming over to me.
I pulled him down onto the bed so he was on top of me and I started kissing him.
Unlike earlier, this kiss was more ferocious and desperate.
My arms were grabbing the back of his head trying to push him further onto me.
His arms were on either side of me on the bed, supporting him so he didn't squash me.
He bit my bottom lip and I moaned out in pleasure. I brought my fingers down to the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head.
Once I chucked his shirt on the floor, I turned us over so I was on top of him, straddling his waist.
"Tasha." he warned me. I ignored him and carried on.
I ran my fingers up and down his chest as our tongues met.
I know that I want him. And that he wants me too.
After a while, I pulled away from him, brought my fingers to my back and began to find my bra clip.
"Tasha. Stop." he said pushing me away slightly.
I slowly pulled my fingers back in front of me.
Why was he was holding back? Something was wrong.
He pulled his legs out from underneath me and we both sat with our legs crossed just looking at each other.
"What's wrong with you Clint?" I asked bring my right hand up against his cheek.
He closed his eyes and nestled into my hand.
"It's nothing." he said dropping his head.
Wait...did he not want this?
"Do you even want to have sex with me?" I asked slowly.
He brought his head up, placed a hand on my cheek and said, with so much emotion, "Are you crazy? Of course I do Natasha. There is nothing I want more. But it's just...I can't.."
He shook his head bringing it down with his hand and sighed.
I knew what was wrong.
"Loki." I said. I knew that he was still holding Clint back, even with him gone.
He just nodded in shame and got off the bed to look outside at the city.
I looked at his silhouette for a couple of seconds and then walked over.
I came to stand in the space between him and the window.
Cupping his face with my hands, I whispered "He's not here, okay? He is not going to ruin us. He can't. He no longer has control."
His eyes locked with mine and he said "I still feel..like he's..going to take over at some point."
"So what do you want to do about it?"
"I just need some time. Time to...sort out whatever my brain is right now."
"Okay. Take as long as you need." I accepted this. I accepted him. Always.
"Lets go to sleep." I said taking his hand in mine and walking him over to the bed.
I pulled back to covers and he got in first. I climbed in and snuggled my back up next to him.
"We're going to be okay right?" he asked in a weak voice.
I sighed quietly. How has he become this doubtful?
"We're going to be just fine, Clint."
I turned around, placed one final kiss on his lips and then turned back around.
"We're going to be just fine." he repeated to himself.
Then I fell asleep with his comfortable arms wrapped around me.
