Clint

You were all gathered at the dining room for the Christmas eve dinner. As you were finding a seat, "Don't forget the bet, Barton." you overhear Natasha whispering to Clint aloud. Clint groaned in reply and took a seat.

What bet?

You decided to sit beside Clint anyway because he was your closest friend in the team. "Well this is fun." you commented. "Yeah, yeah it is." he nervously replied.

You laughed at his behavior, "Why are you nervous? There's nothing to be nervous about Christmas eve dinner. Oh wait! What's Tony gonna feed us?! You're right. Now I am nervous." you rested your back at the chair and thought of the crazy food that Tony might serve. He said he was going to cook for christmas.

"Yep, that's exactly what I'm worried about." Clint chuckled beside you and glanced around nervously.

"The food is ready!" Tony exclaimed as he entered the dining room. You heard two different sighs. Sigh of relief, where they get to eat because they're hungry as hell and sigh of this-is-the-end-because-Tony-cooked-the-food.

A great amount of different food was served at the table. Your eyes were widening and your mouth was watering from the sight of it all.

"I made effort to eighty-eight percent of those." Tony cockily announced. "So I get twelve percent of the credit?" Pepper lightly rolled her eyes as she placed a dish on the table. "I'm afraid it's the other way around, sir." JARVIS butted in. "Shut up, Jarvis." Tony muttered.

You all dig in to the food. Thor was devouring that roasted chicken while sitting beside him was Bruce with proper table manners, horrified at Thor's actions. You then saw Steve scooping mashed potato for Bucky while sharing a look. "MOTHERF*CKER!" Fury shouted when he accidentally spilled juice on the floor.

Okaaaay that was very Christmassy.

"Hey Clint, do you want some mashed potato?" you offered. "Yeah, sure." he smiled at you.

The moment was interrupted when Tony stood up to make a toast.

"Merry Christmas everyone. It's nice to have all of you here in this very special holiday. As I make this toast, is anyone going to add something? Something important to tell us?" Tony suggested.

"I think Clint has something to say!" Natasha exclaimed through the silence. Clint instantly nudged her to the side. Everyone looked at the two of them, "She was just kidding. It's nothing." Clint apologized and glared at Nat before Tony continued his toast.

There was something fishy between those two and you can't help but feel jealous about it. You know they've been best friends for a longer time but Clint was also your best friend and you actually thought you stood a chance with him.

"Can we talk outside?" you heard him ask Natasha. "Hm kay." she shrugged. They both stood up, "Excuse us." they both said and left the room.

You sat there, confused and hurt. Everything happened so fast.

"What's the matter with those two?" Bucky asked with curiosity. Cap sighed, "I'll get them." "No. I'll get them." you said after he stood up. Cap nodded and returned to his seat.
