3rd person pov
"hey come on what happened?" y/n asked chasing after nat across the hall to her own room. "you were completely okay with the idea of us before"

"steve okay, he's not homophobic his just ugh i don't know. as soon as i talked to him he was saying how annoying it must've been that we had to share a room since we couldn't have sex with a guy every once and a while. and he always judges gay people and i can't handle the judgment right now, i need to have no reason for him to look down on me"

"we don't have to tell anyone, just say we got over our childhood grudges. they won't think anything of it"

"what about wanda?"
"what about her?"
"well your obviously going to tell her. what if she tells the others"
"she won't. and your going to tell clint"

by now the red head was pacing. y/n walked forward wrapping her arms around her. "no one looks down on you okay, you fight literal aliens with guns. you don't need super powers to prove you can be an avenger"

nat calmed down quickly. it surprised herself.
"fine, okay yeah let's try this"
"yes" y/n laughed quietly. "i know what can calm you down. if your still stressed that is" she said taking a step closer if that was even possible. and held her hands on the russians hips.

the next day (y'all are never getting me to write smut again)

y/ns pov
when i woke up nat was gone but there was a note saying fury had called her for a mission debrief. can't that girl get a break. she legit just got back.

i swung my legs over the side of the bed going to the bathroom before leaving her room. as i was leaving it i see wanda exiting her room at the same time. she sends me a smirk falling into step beside me.

"shut it"
"i didn't say anything"
"but you were thinking it"

she made us some breakfast and we sat at the table to eat it. the elevator dinged and in walked nat and steve.

nat walked over taking a seat beside me as steve sat down aswell.
"how long till you guys are back at being at each others throats" he commented again.

"we're not children anymore, we sorted it out" nat said brushing the topic away. and turning her attention to me and wanda engaging in a conversation. i shared my breakfast with the russian and she ate some of the fruits. 

"do you two care to join me for grocery shopping later?" wanda asked us. and we both agreed. steve went to train and wanda turned serious to nat. "hurt her, ill kill you" she let her sokovian accent slip through making it all the more terrifying. 

natasha nodded looking at me shocked i had already told her. "she saw me walking out of your room" i said and she nodded. 

"train with me tonight, also tell me when were leaving, im going to find clint" i nodded and she walked away till our hands fell apart. 

"just saying i told you so" wanda laughed getting up to stack out dishes. as she did that her magic cleaned up the rest of the kitchen.

i was stunned. she remembered that


time skip 


after getting back from grocery shopping since we went it forced the boys to put it all away. they counted that it would take wanda 2 minutes wither her - as tony calls it - wiggly woos. 

but she just laughed and walked away. i saw that spider kid had dropped by again but this time there were 2 other people with him. i waved to him and the brunette girl gave me a glare. ignoring them, i walked into the training rooms. 

"do you still dance?" nat asked me as i saw her warming up on the boxing bag. 

"of course i do" i smiled and she told me to follow her. we went through one of the back doors and it lead to a staircase, then another row of doors. she lead me into the third one and it was a dance studio. a bar on one wall, mats and mirrors. and it was massive. 

i mean of course it was massive its the avengers but still. although it was amazing and although the red room was a shit hole, this place doesnt compare to the grand stages and buildings we danced in. 

commonly some of us would be sent to the national ballet to perform and get in good with the rich. we made alot of assets that way. she lead me over to a wardrobe where there was leotards, tights, slippers and points. 

"i needed this place" nat said as she grabbed out some clothes. i grabbed some aswell, we were around the same size despite me being slightly taller than her. once we were both changed we laughed and started stretching, chatting like old times. 

well chatting until madame b walked in. 

"do you still remember Le cygne et l'escargot" (the swan and the snail) 

"do you really think i would forget a dance" i laughed at her and we took our places. the music started and its like my mind turned off. the movements, the emotion, and the pressure all came back to me like second nature. 

it was a beautiful dance, i mean every dance we did was flawless but i think this one was always my favourite. 

we finally finished in our positions and grins spread across our faces. 

"i havent danced with anyone in so long" nat said instantly wanting to go again. 

we flowed around eachother like feathers in the wind, perfectly in sync, no step out of line. everything was perfect down to the last minuet detail.
