The Rules of Living with the Avengers

14. The Avengers having to tell the truth is a bad idea

Thanks SubsonicSparkle for the comment about the last chapter :) it motivated me to write quickly

There's an awkward silence as we all look at each other. Finally Bruce gets a book from his bag. "I'm not getting involved in this drama. I'm reading."

"McDonald's," Tony coughs.

Bruce puts the book away. "I'm involved in this drama."

"Let's ask everyone one question that we want them to answer truthfully," Hill suggests. "Then we're all in the same boat of embarrassment and humiliation."

"Some more than others," Clint mutters and grins at me. I glare back at him. If he asks me anything about Steve, I will kill him.

"Ask me something first!" Tony says cheerfully.

"Have you ever kissed Bruce or Steve?" I ask. He freezes and scowls at me.

"Yes. By accident," he says. "Bruce, have you got a girlfriend?"

Bruce just glares at him and doesn't say anything.

"Cap, do you love Ellie?" Clint asks Steve. I feel myself redden as Steve sinks down into his seat.

"I'm not answering that," Steve mutters. "Ask someone else something."

"Aha, no. The game is to answer truthfully," he smirks.

"I...don't...Ellie...I..." He trails off after a lot of bad starts. "I l-"

Tony gasps in shock and I glare at him. Steve seems to have thought better of saying whatever he was about to say, much to my disappointment. Fury is just staring at us all whilst Hill looks at him, puzzled by something.

"I'm bored," Natasha says. "How about we play snog, marry, avoid instead?"
