Falling In Love With The Billionaire's Son

Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven

"Uh... Name?" Natasha looked back at Steve and mouthed 'I thought you were gay?'.

"Peggy Carter." She had a British accent. Thor noticed.

"You don't have a thing for Brits, do you?" He whispered to Steve who just hissed back, "No."

"Okay." Natasha reluctantly stepped aside and Peggy walked up to Steve and slapped him. Thor and Clint both shouted something to the effect of "HEY!" but they shut up after a look from Natasha.

"That's for leaving without saying goodbye." She frowned and then pulled him in and kissed him.

Steve's three friends watched, speechless. Thor opened his mouth, shut it, opened it again, and then looked at Natasha like she knew something.

"Uh, what was that for?" Steve asked, having a Steve-is-thinking-please-leave-a-message expression on his face.

"Because I missed you." She gave him a small smile and hugged him.

"Uh, PDA mu- Ow!" Clint rubbed his side after Thor slapped him.

"Uh, guys, this is Peggy. She was my, uh, girlfriend back in Brooklyn." Steve introduced her quickly. "And these are my friends, Thor, Natasha, and Clint." He gestured to them all as he said their names.

"Pleasure to meet you." She said.

"Yeah, you too. Oh, look at the time, we better be cleaning up the video games and food and crap, don't worry, I'm sure you'll see Steve tomorrow at school, there is only one in town, ta ta!" Thor guided her to the door and shut it quickly, before turning to Steve.

"I thought you-"

"I know, I know, I'm gay. I didn't really like Peggy like that, but we'd been friends since kindergarten and I didn't want to break her heart or anything, so I never told her." Steve said guiltily.

"So why'd you get with her anyways?" Clint asked.

"That's the worst part. *I* asked *her*. I didn't, well, I kind of... Wanted to prove I wasn't gay." He muttered.

"Well, way to pull a Tony Stark." Natasha said. They looked at her. "He was a jerk? You know, Tony's a jerk? Oh never mind."

"Anyways, once I packed up and moved, I thought I wouldn't have to see her again, so I wouldn't have to tell her, you know what I mean?" Steve said, scratching his neck.

"You never said goodbye?" Natasha asked.

"No, not really. After the accident that killed my dad, I packed up and left. My mom died when I was younger, in a car accident." He finished. "I never went back to school, but they knew what happened."

"Wow." Clint whistled. "Nice move. So no one at that school knew you were gay?"

"No one except my best friend, Bucky. He knew. He also didn't care. I just didn't want to screw up my whole... I don't know. I guess I just didn't want anyone to know about it." Steve replied.

"Why's she here?" Natasha asked.

"As if I knew. Probably visiting. She's rich, plus her parents don't care. She's probably staying at that nice hotel down the street from the school." Steve shrugged. "I better get home, see you guys later." He looked flustered as he ran home.

"This has been an... Interesting day." Thor said, pondering over the events as he ate Natasha's last Pop-Tart.

The next day was even more interesting. Steve went to school and was faced with worse taunts than yesterday. Apparently, no texts saying that the whole thing was a joke made people believe it all the more. On the uh, well, it wasn't exactly the bright side, but whatever. On the other hand, Peggy was there, which kind of squished it a little bit.
