Tony's Party - Natasha Romanoff x Reader

This wasn't the typical Friday night you had hoped for, not by a long shot. You had returned home from your mission with the sole intentions of taking an hour-long hot shower to rid you of the dirt and aches from your body before curling up in your bed and sleeping for what you hoped would be forever. Instead, once the quinjet landed you and your mission team had been told that tonight Tony was having a party and expected you all to be there. So instead of being cozy in your bed watching Netflix here, you were standing in front of your full-length mirror deciding what insanely short and uncomfortable dress you would be wearing tonight. You had already done your hair and makeup so this was the last step before you could join the party you were already 40 minutes late too. No doubt if you didn't show up soon Tony would come looking for you himself.

You decided on a short red dress that you knew hugged your figure in all the right places. It complimented your (h/c) perfectly. You quickly put on your nude heels and look one last glance at your reflection in the mirror. Hopefully, this caught the attention of a certain redhead.

You reached the party level of the tower exactly an hour after you were supposed to have been there so when you stepped out of the elevator Tony was the first to call out to you over the music

"(y/l/n) you're late"

You moved in his direction and whispered in his ear, "fashionably late stark, and you're lucky I'm even here", before stepping around him and continuing over to the bar.

"Cap, Sam" you said as you found the boys standing together by the bar chatting.

"(y/n/n)" they replied in unison before Steve continued as you took a stool near them "didn't you just get back from a mission like 2 hours ago?"

"Yeah, but you know the rules about missing a stark party" you laughed as Steve looked at you with concern. "I'm fine Steve, just a bit tired is all"

"If I were you I would have said fuck it and gone to bed," Sam said taking a sip of his drink and shaking his head "you've got more stamina than me (Y/L/N), a mission and a Stark party all in one day"

"yeah well, no rest for the wicked" you laugh placing your now empty drink on the bar, "so which one of you lovely fella's is going to come dance with me?"

"I've got two left feet, plus fossil over here loves dancing almost as much as he loves pretty women" Sam spoke over the music before pushing Steve at you and turning back to his drink.

"I guess it's you and me then" he laughed taking your arm in his and leading you off to the dancefloor.

Unbeknownst to you, Natasha had been standing with Wanda only around 5 meters away, having heard the exchange with Steve and Sam. Her knuckles turned white around her glass as she watched you walk away with Steve now completely ignoring whatever Wanda was saying.

"Nat, why don't you just talk to her" Wanda brought Natasha's attention back to her, resting her hand lightly on her forearm.

"Because..." Nat trailed off watching the way Steve held you close and the giggling between you, her jealousy bubbling fiercely inside her.

"if you get anymore more jealous you'll be greener than banner" Wanda giggled.

It was at that moment your eyes met with Nat's, you saw something inside of them that you had never seen before. Natasha looked away quickly downing her drink in one smooth mouthful before turning on her heels and sauntering over to the bar. You couldn't help but watch her as she moved gracefully through the crowd.

"You should go talk to her" Steve whispered to you as you continued to dance, "you obviously like her, and judging by the death stare she's been giving me since we started dancing I'd say she likes you too" he laughed.
