I am truly sorry for this late update. I'm trying my best to keep updating my stories, but i'm just too busy :( But still, I'll try and try. So here goes a very late chapter. Enjoy! :)
Steve just left the cold breeze hit his face while sitting on the ledge of the building rooftop. He can't sleep tonight He's body was really tired but, his mind isn't. So he does what he do best, sketching, one of his hidden talents. He was actually great at it, but with his humility, he barely shares his art with his friends, especially when some of his sketches contain a certain red-head from the group. Something about him really loves sketching a portrait of his little red unbeknownst to her, of course. He loves the way he draw the outline of her perfect plumped lips, and green eyes that is so perfect to gaze upon. Maybe, just maybe, she was the reason why he can't sleep tonight. He was slightly adamant what he was feeling about her when they all they see for each are just friends…at least that's what he think.
"Can't sleep?" A voice came from behind, startling Steve, quickly closing his sketchpad.
It was her in the flesh. Even in an oversized Pink Floyd T-shirt and jammies, hair tousled in different directions, she was still perfect in the eyes of the captain.
"Yup. You too?"
"No. I'm starting to regret I agreed that challenge with Stark. My stomach is killing me." She grumbled, plumping down the couch the gang decided to put on the rooftop. One of Clint's smart ideas.
Steve chuckled at the red-head. Back at the restaurant, Tony challenged his friends who can finish the large burger and fries first. The loser gets to finish a milkshake straight up, to add horror to the person's stomach. Of course, Thor and Clint didn't hesitate to put up with the challenge. Pepper tried to stop this idiotic idea but, nobody listened. Jane hurled before she could finish, Darcy just quitt after the first bite and left the challenge to the boys and Natasha.
Thor won and even finished a milkshake. Natasha got to finish the meal, but came in last.
"You should've given me the shake. I would take it" The red head looked up to her best friend, and caught a glimpse of him smirking. His muscles were still very much visible underneath his white V-neck shirt. His perfect set of blue eyes, were gleaming in the moonlight. Natasha had to keep her best from biting her lips at the captain. Steve stood up from the ledge, and sat beside her.
"That would just make me look weak." She replied sternly at Steve. He smiled at her and replied, "We don't want that, do we?" she laughed, and stuck her tongue at him. The red-head shifted from her position and decided to rest her back at Steve's shoulder, closing her eyes, trying to ignore the discomfort her stomach is giving her. In return, Steve's put out his arm around her, as she lay in comfort.
"What's keeping you up anyway?" She asked still had her eyes closed.
"I don't know. Not much tired, I guess." He lied.
Now it was silent. Only the sound of crickets, winds hitting the tree leaves and car horns from the nearby highway. It was kind of weird, Steve was now finding peace in his head, and was slowly getting sleepy. Having the red head beside him was making him somewhat comfortable and at ease. The moment was close to perfect for the two of them. Until, Natasha groaned again from the pain of her stomach.
"I'll make you a soup." He stood up, carefully laying her down on the couch. Before Natasha could protest he was already at the door, "Stay there, little red."
Everyone woke up from the sound of an explosion coming from Tony's lab room. They all quickly ran to the billionaire's lair to check the commotion.
Tony was thrown to the wall and his arms were extended still in shock. A metal gloves like are in his hand with a glowing light in the middle. His eyes were wide in shock. A large hole was created in front of Tony.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Bruce who was known from his anger issues, yelled at his friend who is still in awe from what he had done. "It's 6am in the morning, and it's Sunday Stark Do you know how much we all need to sleep when it's weekend?" he continued.
The group checked out the hole except for Pepper and Bruce. Pepper ran to to Tony's side to check if he was okay as Bruce followed her.
Tony grinned at Bruce and said "I'm halfway there to that armor thing, my friend." Making Bruce more enraged. Pepper grabbed Bruce to calm him down,
"Bruce, calm down. Just get some ice, please?" Pepper requested. Bruce rubbed his face in annoyance, and finally calm down. "Yeah, get some for your head too." Tony joked, which made Bruce scowl at him.
A stormy Sunday afternoon came in store for the gang. They became too lazy to do their each and own agendas for today and just decided to cozy up in the common area.
Thor, Jane, Steve and Loki were playing go fish in the corner. Natasha was lying on one couch reading something, but the book was beginning to bore her. Bruce and Pepper were typing on their laptop trying to finish their homework. Darcy was napping on the other couch. Tony still has his hand on an icepack applying to his head and had the TV on but in a low volume, almost to nothing. He wasn't really interested on what's on. He was really getting annoyed from the aura of the room.
The only noises heard were rain hitting the ground outside, Thor's voice every time he yells go fish and Darcy's snore.
"Everyone want to do truth or dare?"
