A/N: Smut
***
The wedding was beautiful, even you had to admit that. It was a relatively simple affair as these things went, though you were certain your uncle had spent several thousands on the flowers that seemed to dot every surface of the grounds of his estate. At least he'd kept your cousin from having a large church wedding this time. There was only so many times that was acceptable anyway, right?
A sigh slid from your lips and you sipped at your drink. You never should have come to this wedding. You weren't in the mood for it. No, you should have made up an excuse about being sick and stayed home. The only reason you hadn't was the fact you had no desire to listen to your mother bitch at you for the next six months for missing a family event. Just the thought had you rolling your eyes.
You'd actually been looking forward to the wedding until last week. That's when you discovered your boyfriends were going on a mission and would not be back in time to accompany you. Not only did you hate going to weddings alone, but you'd already gone through the ordeal of explaining to your aunt why you needed a plus two instead of a plus one. And she certainly hadn't kept that information to herself. Half the damn day had been spent answering questions about your relationship from nosy family members.
Speaking of...Your cousin Natalie sat down in one of the empty chairs that flanked you. She smirked and sipped at her champagne. "So, where are your dates, cousin?"
You resisted the urge to roll your eyes again. Too much more of that and you'd have a raging migraine. Instead, you kept your gaze on the dance floor and took another sip of your drink. "They had to work."
"I just find it interesting that you all but beg mother for an extra seat and here they both are. Empty." She eyed you, waiting for a reaction you had no intention of giving her. "I mean, why lie? It's kind of pathetic."
You finally turned your head to her. "Shouldn't you be doing something wedding-ish? You are the maid of honor, aren't you? Oh, that's right, you aren't in the wedding party, are you?" You sucked a breath through your teeth in mock sympathy. "Sorry."
There was certain to be a reason why Natalie wasn't part of her only sister's third wedding, but you didn't care beyond the fact it was sure to be a sore spot. Frankly, Natalie had always been a bitch, even when you were children. Though, unlucky in the marriage department, her sister Sally had always been your preferred cousin. Maybe Sally had finally gotten tired of dealing with her sister's shit.
Natalie narrowed her eyes and leaned toward you. "I don't believe you could get one man to put up with you, let alone two. No one does. We actually had a pool going over whether either of them would show up. And if they did, whether they'd leave with you since you'd probably paid them to be here. I mean, most people just make up one boyfriend. Two really takes the cake. You never could stand not being the center of attention."
The irony wasn't lost you that most of your family had no idea you worked with the Avengers. Nor had you mentioned the names of those two boyfriends of yours. Real attention seeker you were. You chanced a glance at your phone to check the time. You had at least another hour before you could leave without a lecture from your mother. You also had zero messages from your boys. Hopefully, that meant they were taking care of business and would be home soon.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god," your cousin started whisper yelling from beside you as she froze in her chair. Her eyes were wide and slightly crazed.
Your brow furrowed. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Even as you waited for an answer, your trained ear picked up murmurs beginning amongst the other guests.
When you went to look over your shoulder, Natalie gripped your hand. "Don't turn around," she said through clenched teeth. When you went to do it anyway, she snapped again. "Don't. They'll see you staring."
