You made your way to the football field where cheer tryouts were being held. You were dressed in spanks and a tight tank top, carrying a duffle bag and a water bottle with your hair up in a high ponytail.
When you got there, you were pretty early. There were only four other girls chatting amongst themselves. You sighed before taking a seat on the field and putting down your stuff. You started stretching, luckily with your background in both dance and gymnastics, you are pretty flexible.
"Alright girls! Gather around!" a blonde girl shouted. You and the rest of the girls gathered in a circle.
"Hi everyone, my name is Carol Danvers and I'm the captain of the cheer squad. Today you will be assessed on many different skills and we will inform you if you got accepted or not in a few days from now." she explained and you all nodded.
The first test was a flexibility test. You aced that one for sure. Next was stunts, then tumbling. Lastly was chanting the actual cheers which you think you also did pretty good at.
You sat down and took a sip of your cold water, groaning in satisfaction when the ice cold liquid went down your throat. You got your stuff together before heading to the cafeteria to get a snack.
It was at this quiet time, barely anyone in the building as you walked in and sat down. Natasha noticed you and sat down next to you.
"Hey Y/n." she said with a smile.
"Hey Nat. What's up?" you asked.
"Nothing much. It's kind of boring here. Glad you came."
"I'm glad I came too. I just came from cheerleading tryouts actually."
"Ooh, good luck. I hope you get on. Hey, Yelena said that Kate told her ''you have yourself a boyfriend."
You almost spit out your water. "What?"
"Yeah, football captain too. Damn Y/n, didn't think you could score someone like that in just under a week."
"Me and Steve aren't dating. Well we are. I don't know."
"My advice, talk to him. In person though. Yelena said you text people when you say something risky to them."
You nodded before putting Natasha on the spot,
"Got your eyes on anybody?"
"Yeah..." she trailed off, blushing.
"Really? Who is it?" you asked.
"Bucky."
"B- you mean Steve's best friend?"
"Yup."
"Oh my god Nat!" you started laughing.
You then made your way back to your dorm, prepared to study and then go to sleep. Kate was out on a date with Yelena, they finally made it official. You just hoped you and Steve could be official too.
You sighed, maybe you were thinking too far ahead. This was just gonna be meaningless hookups and random dates, right?
You scoffed when you realized you had to make up a quiz that you missed due to being sick. You had fallen asleep at your desk, your face buried in the keyboard of your laptop. You groaned when you heard the buzzing sound of your phone.
Someone was calling you.
You flipped your phone over to see who it was. You answered it with a sigh.
"Steve?" you yawned.
"Hey Y/n. Did I wake you?" He said in a concerned voice.
"No, no. I've been up since 8 o'clock this morning." You lied.
"I was wondering if you'd like to go out to dinner tomorrow night?"
"Sure, I'd like that." you said as you blushed before biting your lip
"Great, does 7:00 sound good?"
"Sounds good to me. See you tomorrow."
You hung up the phone and went over to flop on your bed. Okay, so maybe this was going to be serious.
The next day came, it was Saturday which meant no classes. You were very pleased with this.
Kate and Yelena insisted you get a new outfit for this date. They dragged you to the mall and helped you pick out an outfit.
"Alright so I think you should definitely go for a sexy look." Kate suggested.
"What kind of 'sexy!' are we talking about?" You asked.
"You know how you wear those long skirts and ballet flats with those button up blouses?"
"Yeah?" You asked with furrowed eyebrows, wondering where she was going with this.
"That but a short tight skirt and a crop top with fishnets with high heels!"
"I'm not doing that. You know how I feel about dressing like that."
"I know but girl, this is the 21st century not 1950."
"I wish it was." You mumbled. You've always had a love for the 1950's not the time period of course but the style and how some things were handled back then. Especially the quality of clothing and appliances were much more high quality than nowadays.
You bought a new red dress with a sweetheart neckline and a skirt that poofs out like a poodle skirt just above your knees.
Paired with black kitten heels and a black clutch, you were ready to go. You put on some red lipstick before stepping out of your dorm to meet your date.
"Wow doll, you look beautiful." Steve said with wide eyes as he took on the sight of you.
"Thank you." You giggled with a blush before taking his arm when he offered it. You felt like a teenager again, getting those first date jitters.
He took you to a nice Italian restaurant, and you teased him on how romantic it was. However, you were totally falling for it that's for sure.
"So, have you thought about taking any dance classes yet?" Steve asked you in between bites of his food.
"Yes, actually. Though if I get on the cheer team it may become too much." you responded. You've always had a passion for dance even if your mom forced it on you growing up, it just stuck with you. Contemporary dance specifically.
"I'd love it if you got on the cheer team, cheer me on at all my games." he said.
You chuckled, "Yeah, that'd be very nice." you blushed at the thought. Then decided to bring up the question you've been dreading to ask,
"Am I your girlfriend?"
"I thought that was obvious." he chuckled.
"Well you never asked me and I want to know if I should take us seriously. Not like I haven't been already." you explained.
He put his hand on top of yours, the heat rushing to your face again and your heart rate picking back up.
"Doll, I would love for you to be my girlfriend." His words made you grin like an idiot before leaning over the table to kiss him.
You were very happy that your first boyfriend was a kind one who'd never hurt you, and would always be there for you.
