The Avengers Book of Imagines

Romanogers | Secretly Dating

"Come on man, I'll bet you anything that there's five hot girls who work at S.H.I.E.L.D who would date you in a flash!" Steve rolled his eyes and shoved the scrambled eggs Bruce had made into his mouth

"How many times do I have to say this Tony, I'm too busy to handle the mental stress that comes with a relationship." Tony huffed and began sulking in his chair.

"You are the last guy in the team to have a girlfriend, you gotta admit that's kinda sad." Clint added, making Steve huff, and look to Bruce for support. The scientist just shrugged and continued cooking breakfast.

"Maybe friend Steve already has a lady companion?" Boomed Thor with his mouth full of pop tarts. Natasha rolled her eyes.

"Just let it go guys, Steve has made it quite clear that he doesn't want a girlfriend at the moment, so just leave it at that."

The team grumbled in response but didn't make an argument so the conversation was dropped.

"But there's this girl I know- " but Tony was cut short as Steve slammed his fist down on the table, making the team jump in surprise.

"God dammit Tony, has it ever occurred to you that I might already have a girlfriend?" He yelled. There was silence for a few moments in which Clint whispered,

"Language." Which gained him a whole lot of glares from the team.

"Woah, woah, woah, did anyone pay attention to what Cap said?" Tony asked, and realization seemed to dawn on Steve's face while Clint and Tony looked mischievous.

"I'm going for a run." Mumbled Steve, placing his plate in the sink for someone to clean later.

"I think I'll join you." Said Natasha pleasantly, and the two strolled off, whispering quietly about something.

The rest of the team were left sat at the breakfast bar, staring after Steve and Natasha in shock.

"I can't believe it." Muttered Clint as he pulled out his wallet. "I can not believe I just lost $100 in a bet over Steve's love life, he's so hopeless with women I was sure he'd be single forever." He grudgingly pulled two $50 notes from his wallet and handed them to Tony, who with satisfaction written all over his face, slipped them into his jean pocket.

As soon as Natasha was sure they were far enough away from the tower, she turned to Steve and forcefully pressed her lips to his.

"You're so hot when you're angry." She whispered, catching Steve's lips in hers again. They kissed for a few minutes before setting out on the run.

After an hour, they stopped by a tree for a rest. Huffing and puffing, Natasha slid down next to Steve. He took her hand in his and gently traced circles over its palm with his fingers.

"You know it won't be long until they find out." Steve whispered softly, letting a small sigh escape his lips.

"Maybe we should just tell them." Natasha suggested, but Steve shook his head, I reckon we should let them find out for theirselves. Besides, there's that party Tonys throwing tomorrow night, you're bound to reveal something in your drunken state then."

Natasha elbowed him the side but she had a smile plastered on her face.

"I love you." She whispered gently, placing a small kiss on his cheek.

"I love you too Tasha."

Tony's party was in full swing, and everyone was at least a little drunk. (Except for poor Steve, who try as he might, was as sober as if he had drunk nothing at all.)

"Let's play a game!" Yelled Tony, at which Clint squealed and fell down beside him in a fit of giggles.

All of the avengers were present, as well as the respective girlfriends (minus Laura) and Darcy.

"Never have I ever." Grinned Tony in delight, while Bruce and Betty sighed, and Thor and Steve looked confused. After a quick explanation from Darcy, Tony grabbed a few bottles of wine and placed them in the centre of the circle, eyes glistening.

"I'll start." He ordered. "Never have I ever... Gone skinny dipping." Everyone took a drink from one of the bottles except Steve and Natasha, but that was expected, as they had not had much of a childhood.

Darcy was next, and she thought for a moment before grinning.

"Never have I ever kissed someone of the same sex." There was a moments hesitation before Tony, Darcy, Clint and Natasha took a sip, which surprised no one.

As the game went on, everyone got drunker and drunker, until it was Tonys turn again.

"Never have I ever kissed Natasha." Natasha shot daggers at Tony but he didn't seem to notice.

With a sigh, Steve and Clint took a drink, and everyone looked at them, demanding an explanation.

"It was for a mission, we were posed as a married couple and the criminals weren't convinced, so I kissed her, not a big deal." Clint explained. Tony nodded and then turned on Steve.

"And what about you Steve, done any late night canoodling with Nat?" Steve rolled his eyes.

"We were about to get caught by H.Y.D.R.A and Natasha pointed out that public displays of affection made people uncomfortable, so we kissed, and escaped, it was either kiss or die, not much of a decision." Tony was suspicious but let it slide.

It was 9am the next morning, and Steve and Natasha were talking quietly among themselves. Steve had made hangover potion but none of the others had come down yet. Coulson and the team from the Bus were coming over any minute and Steve was about to go and get the other Avengers up.

"What's taking them so long?" Huffed Natasha, "I thought they'd be down here by 7am begging for someone of that hangover juice." Steve chuckled and kissed her lightly on the mouth.

"I'll go wake them up once the Bus arrives, I'm sure Skye would love to hack into J.A.R.V.I.S and play something over the loudspeakers." Natasha grinned.

"That sounds like fun, I think I'll help her." There was a comfortable silence in which Steve drunk in Natasha's body.

"You are so beautiful." He whispered, before gently pressing his lips to hers.

"Son of a bitch!"

They jumped apart to find the entire team of Avengers and the Bus as well as Darcy, Jane, Betty, Maria and Fury.

Steve blushed a deep red colour and stepped away from Natasha, while everyone stared at them with their mouths open.

Steve risked a glance up and his eyes fell on Coulson who seemed to be deep in thought.

"Romanogers." He finally said aloud, which made everyone turn to him in confusion.

"Steve and Tasha's ship name," he explained. "It's their last names blended together." There was silence while everyone seemed to drink it in, before Tony grinned in delight.

"I ship it."
