It was early in the morning, Tony and I were tag teaming on making breakfast while Steve, Sam, and Bucky were setting up the table for us. We were finishing up on cooking when Natasha enters the kitchen, making her way to the fridge.
"Hey Nat." I greet softly.
"Hey." She gives me a small smile in return as she opens one of the doors.
"Are you hungry?" I offer.
"I'm just gonna have this." She motions to her yogurt cup she just grabbed.
"You sure? I can-
"I'm fine J.D. thanks." She assures softly.
"See you guys later." She adds turning to the others before leaving.
I sigh slightly deflated as I turn back towards the stove turning it off.
"Damn what was that about? I thought y'all were cool?" Sam asks making me release a breath.
"I don't know it may be because Tony put his foot in his mouth. Asking something he shouldn't have in front of her last night." I say not so subtly turning to the billionaire making him furrow his eyebrows before realization dawns upon him.
"Oh- I'm sorry J.D. it wasn't my intention, honest. I was just curious since you were real excited to ask Ariana to be your girlfriend." He defends sincerely.
"What?!" Sam, Steve and Bucky exclaim at the same time looking at me shocked.
I then turn to Tony with a pointed look.
"Y'know- I'm going to check up on Morgan." Tony says pointing away and I hum.
"Yeah you go do that." I tell him while he leaves the kitchen.
"Y-you're gonna ask Ariana to be your girlfriend?" Bucky asks taken aback as they come over to fix their plates.
"We haven't even met her yet." Steve inputs.
"And you're not gonna." I shake my head.
"Now that's cold." Sam says with his arms crossed over his chest.
"I just- I want it to be a for sure thing before everyone meets her. We can be a lot sometimes and I don't want to scare her off." I justify honestly.
"But Tony and Rhodey have met her." Bucky says as we all take our seats at the dining table.
"Only because they came to pick me up for the mission. It wasn't my ideal choice per say on the timing." I sigh.
"Well why don't you bring her over for Thanksgiving?" Steve offers lightly.
"The offer is already on the table. It's her choice. An answer I will most likely gonna get today since I have a date." I release a breath.
"And...you're gonna ask?..." Sam asks.
I look over to the fridge where Natasha stood briefly before focusing down on my plate.
"*sighs* Yeah, yeah that's the plan." I answer picking up a forkful of eggs and putting it in my mouth.
