Steve was headed to the door when he heard a series of knocks. "Coming" he shouted just a few steps away, then he reached the knob and immediately swung the door open. And there it was, the person responsible for the mad knocks, Bucky.

"Buck what's up with you?" He asked him with a grin as he stepped out the room.

"Nothing, just wondered if you were ready." He grinned back and Steve nodded.

They both started walking to the elevator. Less than half an hour ago Tony had texted every one of them to dress casually for their game night. So Steve had changed to a simple navy blue shirt and black sweatpants. Bucky was just wearing a gray t-shirt and matching sweatpants. Walking in the hotel corridor in such clothes felt a bit odd for both of them, but since it was a Tony Stark game night, they knew better than to let themselves suffer in formal clothing.

They were standing by the elevator, waiting for it to show up when Bucky suddenly blurted "You've got the hots for Romanoff, don't you?"

Steve chocked on his saliva, earning a laugh from Bucky.

"Hey, hey, relax! I'm not gonna tell anyone." He smirked and Steve could only give him a shy smile. "You still suck when it comes to women, don't you?" Bucky asked just as the elevator doors opened and they both walked in.

"Honestly, seventy years of ice doesn't really help improve flirting." Steve responded with a joking manner. Bucky nodded and was silent until they got to the next floor, slowly stepping out and walking to Tony's suite. "You do look cute together." Bucky spoke, a few doors left to Tony's, "You look at her like you used to look at Peggy."

Steve stopped and looked at his friend "but that's not all, is it?" Bucky asked. Steve was confused, he waited for Bucky to go on. "It's more to it, the way you look at her, it's not just respect or admiration, or even affection like it was with Peggy. It's just more, deeper than that. It's different." He smiled, a sincere smile, supportive even. Steve's cheeks were now blushing ever so lightly.

"She's different."

That's all he said, and that was all Bucky needed to hear to understand how Steve felt.

They were interrupted with screams coming from the other side of the corridor. Both turned around to see Lila and Cooper running towards them and then passed them, straight to Tony's, followed by a smiling Natasha who was slowly strolling in their direction.

"Well hello boys!" She chimed with a hint of seduction in her voice. Steve rolled his eyes at her and Bucky grinned. To his knowledge, Steve had a crush on her that she was oblivious to and this seamed to be another girl teasing his best friend.

"Come on, we're about five minutes late and I'm sure Tony is getting ready to throw a tantrum." Steve stepped back and lifted his arm, gesturing for Natasha to walk ahead. She walked ahead, swaying her hips, wearing a smug smirk. Steve and Bucky followed suit.

Thankfully the kids had left the door open, so they wouldn't need to knock and get all the attention, but to their lack of luck, Tony was sitting on the sofa, staring right at the door.

"Aha! Look who finally decided to show up!" He shouted playfully and the rest turned their focus on them.

To non of their surprise, everyone had changed to something cozier. All the guys were wearing shirts and sweatpants. The girls however had different views on cozy. Laura and Sharon were wearing knee long sundresses, Pepper was wearing a Button down shirt and a pair of shorts. Maria and Wanda were both wearing t-shirts and yoga pants. But the most cozy one seemed to be Natasha who was wearing sweatpants and a hoodie, Steve's hoodie to be specific. This wasn't anything new, Natasha was famous for stealing others' clothes. Well, Clint's clothes were at risk for many many years, and then it was Steve's turn to loose a jacket or hoodie or anything that would keep her always cold body, warm.

All of them walked to the sofas and took their seats. Pepper walked to Tony and sat next to him. Laura took the seat next to her with Clint on her side, both being thankful to Tony for getting suitable toys and games for the kids, so Laura could join them, although she still wouldn't drink with the kids around. Vision was already sitting next to Tony talking about something lab related with Wanda curled up next to him, reading a book. Maria walked to Wanda and sat next to her, followed by Sam who was giving Bucky a fierce look to follow him. He smirked while following him. Natasha and Steve walked to the rest, Natasha taking a seat next to Clint with Steve on her hand. Sharon took in between Bucky and Steve, as Bucky gestured her to do so.

"So, what shall we play?" Tony asked them, a very wrong move indeed. It started a long argument and way to many different suggestions. Board games, charades, Pictionary, card games, and never have I ever were put to votes and the next two hours were spent jumping from game to game with Natasha wining most of them which predictably pissed Tony, Sam and Bucky while Steve and Clint relaxed, watching the rest and only laughing at the bickering between them.

Tony's last attempt was truth or dare and to his own surprise, it was accepted. All of them voted for it, all but three. One being Natasha, the second Wanda and the third, Pepper!

"I'm telling you, this is a huge mistake." Pepper groaned while shaking her head.

Natasha wasn't pleased either, "All the superheroes on earth and you can't find anything better to play?" She growled, rolling her eyes with disappointment.

Tony didn't pay attention to their nagging, just turned to Natasha "truth or dare, little red?" He gave her a mischievous smile.

"Dare!" Natasha groaned. "I dare you to dare me to kill you!" She mumbled, Clint and Steve were the only ones to hear and chuckled lightly.

"Hmmm...say something embarrassing to Capsicle-OUCH!" He received a smack on the head from Pepper. "Nat, you don't have to." Pepper told her, but Natasha was already smirking, making Steve gulp. She leaned in on his side, her lips almost nibbling on his ear "You're a real monster in the sack." She purred with her hoarse voice and gently pulled back, leaning back on the couch with a coy smirk and an eyebrow crooked up.

Tony started to protest "Hey that's just too short! What was that?" But seeing Steve, his checks and ears turning red, he grinned "Oh now you have to tell us!"

Natasha turned to face him "It was meant for him not you." Then she turned to Sam and Bucky who where grinning as well, calling out load.

"Sam!"

Sam gulped and the grin faded away at once and turned to face her "truth or dare?". He looked at Bucky before answering "truth".

Natasha smirked, "tell me then, since when have you and Maria been goofing around?"

Maria's eyes shot open "you told her?" She screamed at Sam, causing Natasha, Bucky and Wanda burst out to laughter. Steve was shaking his head with a small smile.

The rest processing in silent, until Tony screamed "the bird dude and Hill? Seriously? When did this happen??"

Sam was sweating "I swear I didn't say anything, Wanda told her!" The fear in his voice made all of them laugh, while Maria muttered a bunch of curses. "I hate you all." Was the last thing she mumbled, loud enough for them to hear. Sam let out a muffled curse and turned to Clint growling "truth or dare?". "I'll take dare." He smirked. "I dare you to get as drunk as you can." Sam was grinning. A drunk Clint was too fun and everyone liked it, however, Laura wasn't going to let that happen "I'm sorry to ruin your moment Sam, but he can't get that drunk with the kids around." Sam was about to protest but Natasha butted in "Don't" she said with a firm tone, "the kids come first." They all turned to look at her, she was serious, non of them had ever seen her like that. Clint pulled her in a side hug, placing a gentle kiss on her temple.

"Is it my turn then?" He asked with a smile. They nodded their heads and he turned to Tony "truth or dare?" Tony smirked "dare." "You told Cap you wanna get a farm for Pepper, right?" He asked with a smug smile. Pepper turned to him "Really?" Tony nodded in confirmation with a sweet smile, then turned to Clint "You have to buy a lama when you move there!" "Oh god no." Pepper whined "I was gonna do that anyway." Tony grinned. Then turned to look at Steve "so Stevie boy, truth or dare?"

Steve didn't hesitate to answer "Truth!".

Tony's lips formed a snicker "Oh I was hoping you'd say that!" Steve gave him a confused look, he'd thought Tony would have an embracing dare up his sleeve ready for him.

"What was the deal with you and Carter, in the WW2 days? Were you to actually in love? Did she ever get to take your flower or are you still waiting for the one?" He asked with a straight face but they all could read the pure curiosity in his eyes.

Steve didn't fail to notice Natasha slightly flinch in her seat, her head was turned to face Tony but her attention focused on Steve, eying him from the corner of her eyes. He also didn't fail to notice Sharon's body tensing, the mention of him and her aunt was something disturbing for her, and he was aware of that. That was one of the reasons the two hadn't taken any further steps after their shared kiss. He lowered his head to clear his mind. Non of the rest was going to say anything, they were all curious but also didn't want to push him. Although Sam, Bucky and Clint were smirking.

"She was this amazing, strong, confident person who noticed me when no one else would." He didn't pull up his gaze, his head still bowed. Natasha had now turned her head to watch him closely. "I don't really know what it was, but it wasn't physical, not like that." He looked up to Tony "I loved her, I really did." He gave them a heartbroken smile.

Natasha felt her heart clench, he hadn't told her he loved her, she wasn't expecting it, obviously . But she didn't enjoy hearing how he felt about the famous Peggy Carter either. She noticed Steve tilted his head to her direction just a notch.

"But I wasn't in love with her." He then fell silent, with an innocent smile on his face. Natasha staired at him with her jaw slightly dropped.

"Wait! The last one!" Tony blurted out.

"I believe you only get one question per game!" Steve reasoned but did no help to him.

The mystery of Captain American being virgin was a long term bet between them and they wanted to settle it once and for all. "I told you about Peggy, it wasn't like that." He shook his head. "So, you still waiting for the special one?" Clint teased him. Steve sighed "there's no way out of this, is there?" Sam let out a laugh he'd been holding back "just say the word man!"

Steve sighed in frustration before inhaling deeply. "I've found my one".

That was all he said. The stood up, sent a short glance to Natasha and then turned to walk to the door leaving all the rest dumbfounded. Sharon was smiling, a sweet soft smile, then turned to Bucky and whispered something to him that made him smile. Natasha was staring at Steve as he walked out the room, she wanted to follow him right then, but she wasn't sure if it was a right thing to do.

"Wait, does that mean..." Tony spoke up. "I think it did!" Clint replied "and you ow me a hundred bucks" he grinned at Tony's disappointed expression. "But when did this happen?" He pouted. "Someone should go get him back!" Tony said as he jumped to his feet and was about to run to the door. "Don't." Natasha blurted "he wouldn't be very pleased to see you right now. I'll get him." She said as she stood up and walked to the door. "You guys keep playing, I'll see if I can get him to come back for the night." She was almost out the door and could only hear them humming in agreement.

She waved her goodbye before shutting the door close and turned to walk to her room, speeding up as she got closer. She wanted to go to Steve, but she wished to change into something less comfortable and more revealing. If she understood him right, if he'd meant what she'd thought he meant, she wanted to be with him right then. As she reached her room, she opened the door and rushed in, only to find a tall blonde seating on the edge of her bed.

"I thought I should wait for you here." He told her with a soft smile, a smile that faded as the redhead rushed to him and crashed her lips on his causing him to fall back on the bed with her body on top of his. She gave him a passionate kiss that he gratefully returned, his tongue soothing hers while his hands roamed her body, resting on her hips. Natasha felt her lungs burning and pulled back with her cheeks blushing. He laughed at her as she buried her head in his chest and moved one hand to her fire like hair, his fingers playing with her red locks.

"I don't think I can ever sleep without you" he whispered to her. Natasha gently pulled her head up and raised her gaze to meet his, a smirk growing on her lips "Good!" She responded with her hoarse voice. Steve smiled at her and pulled their bodies on the bed to rest her head on the pillow. "I don't want to go back to the games again." he told her with a boyish smile. "And I want you to stay here." She curled her arms to pull him in another kiss but Steve didn't lean in.

"What's wrong?" She asked him with her brows slightly getting close to each other. "I don't think it's really safe with the door unlocked." He chuckled, making her smile. He pulled away and stood up slowly. He walked to the door and locked it before walking back to her. Natasha watched him in silent, admiring his figure. He laid next to her and wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her closer to himself and buried his head in her neck, inhaling her scent. Natasha let herself relax in his arms and rested her head on the pillow, exposing her neck further for him. Steve lingered kisses on her milky skin as his hand stroke her abdomen.

"Steve" Natasha mumbled. "Hmm" he murmured on her neck. "What did you mean back there?" She felt him smile in the crook of her neck "Which part?".

"The part where you said you've found your one" she whispered back, her voice barley hearable. Steve pulled himself back and rolled her on her back, facing him. He leaned down and nibbled her nose with his "It means you're my one." he whispered to her. Natasha's lips curved up to a smile "You're really sure about that?" She eyed him closely. "I've known this for a very long time." He studied her eyes, knowing there was a question behind them "Nat, what's wrong?" His voice was bearing a deep fear "That's a good thing, right?". He was afraid of taking anything too fast. Afraid that it would scare her and she'd run away. Now seeing her eyes look far away, starting to shine, was scaring him. "Nat?" He cupped her cheek with one hand and gently pulled her gaze to his eyes.

"Steve..." she breathed his name, her hands traveling over his arms with soft movements. Steve watched her raise her head and let her arms circle his neck, her lips aiming for his. She brushed his lips gently "You're so cheesy" she crooned on his lips just before she slid her upper lip between his, parting his lips from one another. Steve let her control the kiss, following her lead with pleasure. Natasha swiftly pushed him back, sitting on his abdomen while leaning over his chest, her body covering his and her lips ravishing him. Steve moved his hand to her hips and lowered them to her perfect curves, cupping her bum. She let a moan in the kiss and he felt pleased by his moves. She led the kiss for as long as she could, but as she felt short for air, she hesitantly pulled back and rested her head on his neck.

Steve soothed her back with his hands, "Your lips are addictive." He admitted, mostly to himself. "Oh really?" Natasha teased before raising her head to meet his hot glare.

She tilted her head "Tell me, what's Captain America's magical number?" her lips curved to a lopsided smile. "What number?" Steve asked, lost. "You know, your number!" She let out a deep breath "Remember when we were going to New Jersey?" Steve nodded, still lost. "I told you everyone needs practice. How many practice bodies have you had?".

Steve's brows neared each other as he understood her. Natasha was somewhat taken back by his silent reaction "I'm sorry; it's inappropriate to ask. I shouldn't have." She blurted out, still studying his expression. "You really don't know?" He asked her with a hint of disappointment. Natasha shook her head, biting her lower lip. Steve brushed his finger under her lip, pulling it out of her teeth grasp. "You were my first, Natasha." He whispered in a deep voice.

Natasha's eyes grew wide as she straitened her back "First?? I was your first??" She nearly screamed at him. Steve nodded his head. "But how? You're amazing!" She blurted out before she could control her words. Steve let out a laugh "Well I'm glad you like it!".

He was still laughing, gaining him a punch on the shoulder from her. He flipped them to tower her, his eyes sparkling with desire "You up for some more?" He murmured in her ear as he nibbled on her earlobe. Natasha was shocked with his sudden moves and could only let out a muffled moan in response. She let her body relax in his touch, taking in the pleasure of his lips enchanting her skin.

••✦❤️🕷❤️✦••

Natasha was laying with her face buried in the pillow and the bed sheets covering her from waist down. Steve's head was resting in between her shoulders, his arm stroking her lower back. Natasha was tiered, Steve had showed her more of his serum's effects that she'd seen before and she felt her muscles were mostly sore. She needed to rest and Steve was letting her take her time.

"What did you tell them before you left?" He asked with a soft voice. "I told them, I'll get you back." She smirked. "So we have to go back?" He nearly pouted. Natasha smiled at his voice "No, I'm pretty sure half of them are drunk and the other half are trying to get the first half to their rooms." She pivoted her body to take a look at him "and beside our disclosing looks" she gave him a playful snicker, "we've been gone long enough for them to estimate we're not going back!" Steve chuckled shyly. Natasha went back to her relaxed position and Steve pulled himself up, his head now buried in her neck. "Can I sleep here tonight? I'll leave before everyone else wakes up." He murmured. Natasha hummed "I just wish you wouldn't leave" she sighed and slowly rolled to her side, making Steve raise his head.

She rolled all the way to her back and Steve rested his head on her chest while he pulled the sheets on her body, covering her exposed torso. "You do know that you're the only one who can see me right now, right?" She asked with a smile. Steve grinned on her cleavage. "I wouldn't resist otherwise." He chuckled and Natasha smacked his head. "You are not what America thinks!" She teased. "Well, America's not Natasha Romanoff!" He mumbled as he buried his head on her flesh.
