"Hey babe" Tony greeted Ronan and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks for coming" he whispered.

"No problem. Just give me a heads up next time" Ronan whispered back.

"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Ronan" Ronan shook everybody's hands with a smile. Everyone introduced themselves back.

"So, you're dating Tony?" Clint asked.

"Yes" Ronan nodded.

"...why?" Clint raised a brow.

"...what?" Ronan was confused.

"I mean, he's a bit of a troublemaker, no?" Clint commented. Ronan shrugged with an awkward laugh, not knowing what to say. "Have you met Rhodes?"

"Rhodey? Oh, yeah. We've all known each other since high school" Ronan said.

"Wait, are you gonna tell him about Agent Adams?" Sam snickered. Clint nodded.

"So basically, this Agent Adams guy was just an intern and he was newly learning martial arts. So Rhodes invited him to a friendly lighthearted duel. Tony sees this. Thinking there's a genuine fight going on he dives in and just goes at Adams. The poor dude couldn't come back to work for a week or two" Clint laughed.

"I'm not surprised," Ronan laughed as well.

"Oh, whatever. I thought they were fighting, and then whatever happened, happened. There's nothing wrong with that" Tony explained defensively.

"Alright, if you boys are done exposing Tony's dirty laundry, dinner is ready" Natasha announced.

Everyone quickly scurried to the table. Natasha had made fried Mac N Cheese balls. Just like the ones from The Cheesecake Factory. They smelled delicious.

"So. What do you do Ronan?" Natasha began the questions.

"Oh, I'm the CEO of a successful gaming equipment company. My company and Stark Industries make a lot of collaborations due to popular demand, so we're always in contact with each other" Ronan answered.

"Which one?" Sam asked.

"Salem"

"No way! Dude, I've been saving up for the new led lightning keyboard!" Clint's eyes grew wide.

"I've had the reaper headset for 5 years now, and holy crap that thing is durable" Sam added.

"I'm glad you guys are happy with our products" Ronan smiled.

"What about your family? Do you have any parents or any siblings?" Natasha asked some more.

"My mom and dad are in Canada. And I also have two little siblings, a brother and a sister; they also live with my parents in Canada" Ronan answered.

Natasha nodded. The entire dinner, everybody was excitedly interacting with Ronan, except for one. That one, being Steve; who was sitting at the other end of the table with his arms crossed. He didn't like how it was getting harder and harder to dislike Ronan.

After the dinner was finished, Ronan helped Natasha with cleaning the table, bringing the dishes over to the sink and cleaning them. And then since he had a bit more time, he stayed and talked with Clint and Sam about gaming equipment, and even said they'd be on his pr list. Tony was sitting beside him, head on his shoulder the entire time. But a half hour after that, he said he had to leave.

"Goodnight. It was great meeting you all" Ronan stood up.

"I'll see you off" Tony said.

"I'll come too" Steve went with him.
