Valentines Day is around the corner which means it's time to write a Valentines one-shot. It's actually inspired from an episode from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Basically it's Valentines Day and the reader doesn't really want to be alone on this specific day, so she "borrows" one of Dr. Strange's spell books and casts a love spell which goes awry and causes the team to "romantically" pursue her (which ironically is not as romantic as it sounds).  

If you ever read any books or seen anything on TV that involves a love spell, you'll know full well that anything can happen.

"So what do you girls have planned to do tomorrow?" you inquire of the women who joined you for a girls day out with shopping and lunch at a nice cafe.

"Why, what's tomorrow?" Sharon frowns a little. "Valentines Day of course," you answer like it's obvious. "Oh yeah that's right," Natasha realizes, "Well I'm sure our fellas have something planned for us." "Yeah, Steve will probably take to a fancy dinner somewhere upstate," Sharon states. "And James will probably have us double date with you two," Nat adds.
"Clint pulled some strings to take me to a nice five star resort in down in Miami," Laura quips in, "We booked a babysitter weeks in advanced to look after the little ones."

"Oh, that's...good to know," you mumble, than turn to Pepper, "I'm guessing Tony has something big in mind for you two."
"Actually, surprisingly, Tony and I are just going to stay in for the evening," Pepper answers, "I told him I didn't really want to do anything big, and since everyone else will be doing their own thing tomorrow, we'll have the compound to ourselves. Tony's actually going to cook dinner for two and...we'll probably end up skinny dipping in the hot tub."

"Wait, everyone has a plan tomorrow?" you perk up, "What about Sam and Bruce and the single guys?" "Oh they plan to do the ole' 'pick chicks up at the bar on Valentines Day' routine," Nat answers. "Them being Avengers will give em a big time advantage whichever bar they go to," Sharon smirks.
"Well maybe we can do something similar," you suggest to Wanda, "we could have a single ladies night together." "Uh, actually I do have plans with Vision tomorrow," Wanda admits. "Oh," you nod. "Sorry, it's our first Valentines together and Vis wants to do it right," Wanda explains. "Okay, than," you pull out your phone, "Maybe I can text Jane and Darcy, maybe they'll like to join me-" "Jane's has plans," Natasha informs you. "I thought she and Thor broke up months ago." "Actually they started getting back together recently," Nat further explains, "Also I think Darcy has been seeing someone new."

"Does everybody but me have date plans tomorrow?" you blurt out in exasperation, which shocked the other ladies, as well as some of the patrons near the table. "Whoa," Pepper was taken aback, "What happened to Miss 'Independent don't need a man to spend with on Valentines Day?'"
"Sorry," you slightly avert your gaze in shame, "It's just, you all have someone to be with, and...well I can't remember the last time I got any, I've been so busy with work, I never feel like I have the time..." "Hey, it's nothing to be ashamed of," Sharon reassures, "You're just currently married to your work, we've all been there at one point."
"You'll find someone someday," Pepper adds, "and really, it's just one day of the year, it's not a big deal." "Yeah, I guess so," you nod, "You're right, it really isn't that big a deal. I'll probably just grab some fast food for lunch tomorrow, watch Netflix and go to bed with a book in hand." "Is it going to be one of those trashy romance novels?" Sharon smirks. "Maybe," you slightly smirk back, "When you're not getting it, you read about it." "Been there, done that," Natasha agrees.

-------Later that same day: New York Sanctum------

"Achoo!" you sneeze as the dust you've been sweeping off for the past hour started to crinkle your nose for the umpteenth time.
"You okay over there?" Stephan Strange asks while he was sitting back reading a book. "Fine, like I have been the last time you asked," you sniff a little, "You know you could help too." "And you could wear a surgical mask to keep the dust out," Stephan sasses back. You roll your eyes in response, "Why did I agree to help you dust these artifacts in the first place?" "How should I know? It's not like I coerced you into doing my daily chores," Stephan answers nonchalantly. "You said you would pay me," you deadpan, "And I need the extra money for that first edition book I had my eyes on." You sneeze again.
"Well than, you have your answer."
