Summary: Rainy days sometimes make for the best dates.

What was supposed to be a fun spring afternoon roaming through Boston and exploring the nearby farmer's market had turned into a dreary, cold afternoon stuck at home. Steve had really been looking forward to getting out of the house for the day, but with the sudden rainstorm overhead, it wasn't looking like that would happen. Tony told him there was always next time and they could do something fun indoors, but Steve was still upset the weather had ruined his plans.

"It's not lame to go to the mall or something," Tony said, sprawled out on the couch as he waited for Clint to take his turn in their Monopoly game.

"I know, but it's not as fun either," Steve grumbled.

He watched Clint carefully roll the dice then whine when he landed directly on Tony's property. Tony was immediately pulled back into the game to claim his money and Steve was left on his own to figure out what to do. For the most part, everyone was downstairs playing Monopoly. Pepper had come over for god knows what a couple hours ago and ever since, nearly the entire household had been busy trying to beat her at Monopoly. The only ones who weren't playing were Bruce, Natasha, and Steve.

As Steve walked up the stairs, he tried to figure out what they could do for a date instead. He knew Natasha would be down for pretty much anything, but he didn't want to just throw something together last minute. Unfortunately, he realised he would either have to cancel their date or make something up as they went.

"Come in," Natasha called when Steve knocked on her door.

He walked in half expecting to see her doing her hair or getting dressed, so he was surprised to find her curled up on her bed reading a book. She was still in her pyjama shorts and one of Steve's sweaters, her hair thrown up in a messy bun. If Steve hadn't seen her for breakfast, he would have thought she'd woken up, grabbed her book, and hadn't moved since.

"You do know we have a date today, right?" he teased, climbing onto the bed beside her.

She shifted so she was leaning against him but didn't look up from her book.

"I figured it was cancelled with the rain," she admitted.

Steve chuckled and kissed her head. He looked around the room, spotting some fake flowers on her nightstand and grinned. Struggling not to disrupt Natasha, he reached for the flowers and took them out of their vase. When she glanced up at him, he grinned cheekily and handed them to her.

"A gift," he told her. She laughed and rolled her eyes but took the flowers. "As an apology for our date being cancelled."

"You're so dramatic," she laughed.

She set the flowers beside her and continued to read. Steve didn't mind. He adjusted them until he was snuggled up against her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Her hand went to his head, gently playing with his hair as he buried his face in her chest.

They stayed like that for hours. At some point, Steve drifted off to sleep while Natasha continued to read. She finished her book before he woke up and played on her phone until he did. It was in the middle of her game that her door was thrown open and Clint walked in. Steve jumped awake at the loud clatter even though it stopped the second Clint realised what he'd walked in on.

"Well, this is awkward," he said, not sounding fazed in the slightest.

"Leave us alone, asshole," Natasha told him, grabbing a pillow and throwing it at him.

"Okay, okay!" he conceded, ducking out of her room quickly.

Steve grumbled as he laid back down, getting comfortable once again. He'd just relaxed when Clint came back in and threw a box at them. The door slammed shut before Steve or Natasha could look at the box, but that didn't stop Natasha from flying off the bed to throw the box of condoms back at Clint's head. At least they'd had peace for a little while.
