Nora and Tony, have returned to New York some days ago from their extended visit from Vegas. Emphasis on extended, because Tony Stark was a damn good liar when he wanted to be.
Though it would be a lie if she would say, she didn't prefer staying there. Don't get her wrong, she has started to love the familiarity and care that the team provide, she love the breakfast or dinner time where stories from past would be brought up and laughed at, the occasional food fights between them (it is mostly Tony and an reluctant Steve or Thor, but whatever) but staying in Vegas alone with Tony, was different.
Different in a good way, and even though it was only some days since they had returned. She had started missing all that– the freedom, the spare time, where they would cook in the kitchen, singing mismatched lyrics of songs, laughing and having fork fights (that is a story for a different day) or just being curled up on the couch watching a movie, under a warm blanket basically cuddling.
And though, being back in New York hadn't decreased the affection they share at the slightest bit. They have kissed countless times after Christmas, and being back in New York or even in front of others, doesn't stop him. Tony never misses the chance to sneak one whenever he can.
He had been too busy since the last two days, they only met at breakfast or dinner, or when she brought him and Bruce lunch in their lab. She would have doubted he was ignoring her, or even worse probably getting bored with her, but knowing her birthday was two days away. And he was planning a party, way before they were together. She knew he was probably busy with arrangements.
Shh, don't tell him, he intended to keep it a surprise. He would probably kill Steve if he got to know he told her.
"You are too busy with boys, you know," Natasha quipped as she took a seat next to her, "either with your boyfriend, or in the training room with Clint or talking about god-knows-what with Steve,"
Nora put down her cup of coffee looking at Natasha who had her eyes narrowed, leaning back on her seat and a cup of tea in her own hand, "Why? Is someone missing me?" Nora teased; an eyebrow raised.
Natasha rolled her eyes, her red hair swept over her shoulders, "well, sue me, you are the only other girl in the team, and after we get civil and supposedly become friends, I thought we would be spending time together...this place basically reeks of their mixed colognes,"
Nora couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head, "God, Natasha. Fine, where do you want to go?"
Natasha shrugged, sipping her tea "Some place to eat and shop, definitely shop, you have snatched away the most wanted billionaire, it would be a shame if you would not even use his credit card," she said, a teasing glint in her eyes.
Nora raised her eyebrows, looking somewhere between amused and annoyed, "SHIELD pay me enough to sponsor a shopping for you, thank you very much,"
─── · 。ﾟ "You are definitely buying that," Natasha said, nodding her hand appreciatively with conviction.
