S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy

Chapter 17: New Friendships

A loud alarm sounds throughout the apartment building. A speaker broadcasts Fury's voice.

"Wake up avengers. Today is your first official day as a team. Your training will start at 7:30 and you will attend your first class at 8:45. I expect to see you all at 7:3 on the dot at the training floor."

Tony's POV

I swear to god if that pirate keeps waking us up at 6 in the fucking morning I am not going to be responsible for what I do next and not even Rhodey bear will be able to stop me.

I hear Bruce shift on his bed and a loud groan.

"Did he have to wake 6 for 7:30 training?" The tired voice sounds out.

"I don't know but if this happens everyday I am getting everyone noise cancelling headphones." I say as I roll off my bed onto the floor with a small thud and groan.

Clint's POV

Apparently I'm going to need earplugs. Thor's snoring sounds like a jackhammer on steroids.

He actually shakes the bed with his snoring! How is that even possible. Alien or not this kid needs to go to some sort of universal ENT!

I miss Tasha's sleep talking now. Who am I kidding I would rather sleep next to Fury than Thor. At least Fury would be quiet.

Steve's POV

After Fury's announcement over the speaker I feel her move in my arms and curl into my chest.

I move to turn over and turn on the light in my pitch black room but her small, strong arms wrapped around my waist pull me back into bed and the her head settles back onto my chest as if on instinct.

"Natasha we have to wake up. Fury said we can't be late." I whisper as I press a soft kiss to her head. It was a long night and Natasha had a couple more nightmares. They had only slept for a couple hours at a time but that was the best both of them had slept in a long time.

"Fuck what Nick says, I'm tired, we still have over an hour left till we have to leave, and we both need more sleep after the events of the last day." Natasha groans into my chest.

"Are you sure that would be smart? I don't want to anger Fury on our first day of training." I say out of caution.

"Like I said Steve we have time and Fury can..." I look down to look at her and she looks up at the same time. Neither of us were expecting the other to move and our faces are so close that her lips touch mine.

We froze as our lips touch and we both lean in further. My mind is clouded her lips brush with mine.

Our heads became clouded with the feeling of each other's lips. Her arms wrap around my neck while my hands weave into her hair pulling her closer to me. We keep kissing until we both realized what is happening. Natasha quickly sits up trying to catch her breath.

"Natasha I..." I try to think of something to say.

She stands up quickly and backs up towards the door.

"This was a mistake. This never happened." She says and the door closes behind her. I hear her mutter things under her breath as she walks away.

Oh no. Just when I was starting to make a friend I fucked it up. I wasn't even trying to kiss her but it felt right in the moment.

She was just starting to trust me like Clint said. I guess that is over now.

Clint's POV

The door bursts open and Natasha comes barging in and grabs me by my ear and drags me to the bathroom.

"Clint I fucked up." She says and she paces back and forth in front of me.

"What happened Tasha?" Does this have something to do with Steve? Did he hurt her? If he hurt her I am going to kick his ass.

"I kissed him. I didn't mean to. He looked down at me when I looked up and then our lips touched but then I pulled him closer and he threaded his hands in my hair. I didn't even realized what I was doing until it was too late and I liked it. I just fucked things up didn't I."

Tasha stops her pacing for a second to dump all this information on me and then proceeds to carry on pacing while I am sitting on the counter trying to process what she just said.

"Wait so hold on a second. Do I have to kill him or are we ok?" I ask in complete and utter confusion.

"I mean he didn't do anything against my will if that is what you are asking? I'm just so confused. I don't need this right now I have too much to do without having to worry about avoiding a boy who I share a bathroom with who just so happens to be CAPTAIN FUCKING AMERICA and on our new team!"
Natasha stops her pacing to lean against the counter next to me and hold her head up with her hands.

"So you want to fuck him and he wants to fuck you."

"CLINT!"

"Well am I wrong?"

"1 He grew up in the 40s he has probably never slept with anyone 2 I doubt he thinks about me like that. If anything he is just like the others and only wants me for sex." She sighs.

"Nat you should have seen how concerned he looked last night and how sincere he looked about taking care of you last night. You know I would never let anything bad happen to you right?"

"Yeah. I just don't know how to face him. Especially since he has no idea how old I really am and that this isn't the first time we have met." Natasha sighs.

7:30 in the Training Room
Steve's POV

Natasha has been avoiding me since our kiss and if I'm being honest I've also been avoiding her. We just met a couple of day ago but it feels like I've known her longer than that.

She reminds me of someone I used to know. Before the ice. Of course that is impossible she is only 17.

I wish that kiss didn't happen. Even though I didn't want it to stop, it was too soon.
