Who: Steve and Natasha
What: Very seriously dating
Where: Their house
When: Sunday night

It had been very nerve wracking to ask her and really he hadn't expected her to say yes. But he'd done it and she'd agreed and Steve was totally in love with her because she was special and amazing and have a real mean right hook. So of course he wanted to go steady. That night - like you did when you were practically engaged to be thirteen year old married- Natasha went to sleep under the covers and Steve slept on top, their hands nearly holding, beside each other on the comforter.

When he awoke it was with his face buried in red and blonde hair, the feel of her body slotted easily against his own and his arm possessive around her waist. It took a moment, Steve blinked slowly as he breathed, deep and easy. Which was strange. It hadn't been easy when he'd fallen asleep.

Then came the pajama pants which were up to his knees and the shirt up to his pecs.

And was that his hand on her stomach?

Wait why was he in bed with a woman and where was his best guy?

Steve sat up quick, relieved to see Natasha as things started coming back, the week that had passed, being a kid again and all the silliness that entailed.

She was right, what more was there? Tony and he were much better partners because they were also friends. Their foundation had been built on teaching one another, learning and enjoying the same things, plenty of mutual attraction had been there too but it had taken a backseat for a while there. It was about time it came into the foreground. "You don't ask for much then, huh?"

Growing up together like that would have been better for all of them, maybe some more than others. But as they'd grown they would have become themselves but Bucky and Steve would have been different, Steve even more so. Not to mention the age gap between him and Tony would have been even greater and he couldn't have that, he was glad to be back to himself for plenty of reasons but that one was the most important.

They were family, Steve had never had siblings but Natasha was like a sister, except it was even more intense. They'd been through so much together and he turned his head to kiss her temple, breathing in slowly. "That's right," he agreed. "There's no one else I'd want for my first girlfriend, you know. First and last."

"I don't need much," She agreed of Steve's assessment. And well considering the sort of match they'd made even as children? Well friendship seemed like plenty. Little Steve, who was so earnest and sweet, who danced with her just because he'd seen that maybe she'd have liked to, who had made her a picnic and asked her to go steady. Yeah, they would have been really good friends. Just like they were now, a part of one another.

But she was no fool either, she knew that Tony and Steve belonged together, for all that they'd never quite been able to manage it back home, she saw how they were together. And she knew it was the sort of thing that would have always been there between them too, even as children. They were all better off grown once more, back where they were supposed to be, with who they were supposed to. It had only ever been playing house with her and Steve.

"You make for a nice boyfriend, Steve. I hope for Tony's sake though, you're a better dancer now than you were then." She teased him a little, pulling herself away from that edge of sadness and just a touch of regret that would do none of them any good. She smiled and leaned into him just a little bit more.
