The football team was now prepared for the two last games before the winter break. Coach Fury made it clear that they had to win these two games to secure their place for the play-offs. Steve learned a new play. It was a risky one but if he can throw with perfect accuracy, it will be a guaranteed touchdown.

The problem was his offensive line. The pocket wasn't containing him for long enough to find his receivers and the Captain almost got sacked every time. Simon was more than eager to tackle Steve to the ground.

"You don't need to use your full force on me, Williams. Save it for the game" Steve said as he was laid flat on the ground.

"What's the fun in that? Beside, you gotta get used to being tackled like this if your linemen don't improve themselves."

Steve frowned, obviously hating it when his friend mocked him. He wanted to retaliate with something but he didn't. He got up from the ground and prepared for the next play.

Finally, the practice was over and Steve could feel his body was sore and ached everywhere. The defensive line did a very good job today. Simon Williams had a very good time tackling him to the ground.

"Dude, you doing anything tonight?" Jack asked

"Nah, just grabbing a dinner and heading back to my room"

"Good, change of plans. You're going with us tonight. Max can get us into the newly open nightclub"

"Fine…" Steve sighed

Steve knew his friends will not let him go if he didn't go with them to night. Steve just realized that he didn't miss his football group at all. The more he spent his time with his new friends, with his little Red, the more he realized that he didn't need his football friends anymore.

They're just leeches that wanted him as a friend because of his fame and his popularity.

But Steve also knew that the only reason he still wanted his football friends around was because the king still needed to maintain his power in his own kingdom.

Steve dressed up and went to the club with his football friends.

Someone opened the door to Steve/Thor's room again. The intruder crept into Steve's bedroom before jumping on to him to wake him up.

"Wake up, Stevie" Natasha said and pulled the blanket away from him. She bent down near his ear "Come on. Wake up"

Steve groaned painfully but he didn't move or do anything. He just let Natasha sit on his waist. He seemed like he was continuing with his sleeping but then he flung Natasha down onto his bed and pinned her down.

"I'm having a terrible hangover, Red." He said "Leave me alone or stay there quietly"

He collapsed himself on her body with his head near her neck.

"Come on, Steve. Everyone is having breakfast at Tony's" She said and tried to push him off her "He just bought a brand new waffle machine"

"I don't care" He replied.

"I can't breathe"

He slowly got off her, clearly he could not move any faster than that "I'm sorry. I just need to sleep. My head is about to burst"

Natasha snuggled into his chest "I will make you a very delicious waffle with every topping you like"

Steve allowed himself to smile at her despite a very terrible headache "Okay"

He got up and put on a t-shirt and let Natasha drag him along the hallway. Every single living body in the hallway was looking at them. Everyone looked at them and knew how adorable they were together but they didn't seem to realize it at all.
