Days of our lives - An Avengers Sitcom (mainly one shots)

Episode 3 : The Day Of The Perfect Date

Synopsis : For their 2 year anniversary Steve wants to do something special for Natasha. He wants to plan the perfect date but barely anything goes right. (Romanogers centric)

Steve had finally found the person he was meant to be. It took him a lot of time to get over Peggy but he knew that she had lived a happy and content life. But he didn't expect that something can happen between him and his red head best friend while on the run from the government. Natasha had been by his side since the moment they had started working together and during the fight with Tony, she had switched sides at the last moment and helped them so when they both expressed their feelings for each other, it was barely a surprise. It's been 2 years and he has been madly in love with her since then. Same goes for Natasha. She had found someone she could finally let down her guard with after Clint. Steve knew how much it their relationship meant to her. To both of them. So he wanted to do something special for their 2 years anniversary. Not getting any idea, he called up Clint and he agreed to meet. Clint gave him the idea that he should take her on a perfect date with everything she loved. Steve liked that idea. He knew she loved a quite nice evening by the beach and that's what he planned. Tony had helped him rent a gazebo right by the beach. It would be decorated with fairy lights. He arranged for two bottles of Ruinart Brut Rosé at Drizly which was her favorite champagne and would personally cook her favorite date night food, Pasta with Savory Jack Sausage and Parmesan. Everything was perfectly planned and the special day was in two days.

The morning of first October began uneventfully. Steve usually woke up early in the morning. Natasha on the other hand was a late sleeper. When he came back after freshening up, he found the red head hugging her pillow, rolled on his side of the bed. He smiled. Seeing her at comfort always gave him pleasure. She had been through a lot and he was happy that he could make her happy.

Natasha : What are you doing there staring at me?

Steve's chain of thoughts was broken by a small, sleepy voice from the bed. Natasha was slightly propped up. A small smile playing on her lips. God she was beautiful, Steve thought.

Steve : Nothing, honey. I was just getting ready. Just came back from the run.

Natasha : Then come here.

Natasha stretched out her left hand. Steve went and sat by her. She kissed him lightly. He was going to wish her Happy Anniversary but then suddenly he was reminded what Tony had said.

"It would be better if you act like you don't remember about the day. So she'll be thrown off and when you surprise her, she'll be extremely happy"

So he dropped it.

Natasha : Hey I was thinking I took a day off today so can we spend the day together?

Steve : Umm it's a good idea but I already promised the guys that I'd go to the nicks today.

Natasha : Really?

Steve : Ya.

Actually, he had asked the other guys to help him set up the date.

Natasha : Even today?

Steve : Why? What's today?

Natasha's face dropped. He didn't remember. He still tried to keep up her smile.

Natasha : Nothing. I was thinking of hanging out with Pepper and Maria myself. I'll just go freshen up.

Steve could see the disappointment in her face as she went to the washroom. He hated to this to her and just wanted the facade over.

THE BAR (later in the day)

Natasha told the girls everything that happened in the morning.

Natasha : I just don't know what happened.
