How the team found out you were dating
Steve
It was at one of Tony’s parties. The team was hanging round the bar at the start of the party. You just ordered a drink and the bartender started to flirt with you, you really weren’t in the mood. “I’m taken” you said cutting him off in the middle of another chat up line. Your face went red when you realised what you said.
“Your what? Who?” Tony said as the rest of the team stood silent looking at you. Steve quite simply moved to stand next to you and wrapped one of his arms around your waist. “Er me” he said, his face was a similar shade of red to yours. The team just gaped at the two of you until Natasha hugged you and said “I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!” you started laughing. As did everyone else, that was certainly a fun party.
Tony
It was your birthday and Tony and the other Avengers had thrown you a party. Well it was that time when everyone directed there happy birthdays to you. You were standing next to Nat, completely embarrassed by the grandeur of party (Tony never did anything by halves) when Tony stood up to make a toast.
“I would like to propose a toast to my wonderful girlfriend (y/n), Happy birthday”
You smiled at him but you could feel your face burning and everyone’s eyes on you. “What?” Natasha whispered in your ear. “We're dating, I wasn't expecting him to tell everyone yet” you said a smile playing on your lips as Tony sauntered over to the two of you.
Thor
You were being teased by Tony for being single. “Hey Steve why don’t you date the spinster here?”. That was when Thor walked in. “Who is the spinster?” Thor said looking confused.
“That would be miss (y/l/n)” Tony says winking at you.
“But she is not a spinster, we are courting!” Thor exclaimed, resulting in astonished faces around the avengers tower.
Bruce
Tony was flirting with you, and Bruce had to the bunker/safe room. “What got into him” Steve asked, voicing the opinions of the rest of the team. “Er Stark was flirting with me and it annoyed him” you said trying not to look any of them in the eyes, you and Bruce had agreed to keep it a secret for now. “Why would that bother him” Tony asked as everyone glared at him. Bruce chose that time to emerge from the safe room, “Because Tony, she’s my girlfriend” he said taking your hand. The room went silent.
Clint
It was pretty early on in your relationship when everyone found out. Mainly because Clint was so excited that you were finally together, he told Nat. Nat told everyone. You didn’t mind, besides you were planning on telling Nat on your next girls night anyway.
Sam
Since it was Nat that convinced Sam you wouldn’t reject him, and had helped you pick out an outfit she already knew. It was a running joke between the three of you. You told the rest of the team casually in a passing conversation.
“So (y/n) are you coming to the party on Saturday” asked Tony, you were about to reply when Sam interjected.
“Sorry Tony but we have plans” He said smiling at you, you smiled back.
“Wait you have plans together?” Steve said looking at his friend and then you.
“Yep” you said, “that’s what happens when you’re dating Steve”
Pietro
Pietro told Wanda as soon as you agreed to go out on a date with him but she kept it a secret. However the newspaper articles about you and him on the kiss cam kind of broke the news to the rest of the Avengers.
Wanda
You and Wanda fell asleep in your room watching a movie one night, and you forgot to set your alarm. Natasha was annoyed you were late for training (which wasn’t like you) so she stomped her way up to your room looking for her sparring partner. She shoved open the door and found you and Wanda cuddled together, and woke you up saying “Time for training love birds”. By the end of the day all the avengers knew.
Natasha
You and Nat decided to keep it your little secret for now, both of you wanting to just enjoy being together without having to listen to what the others thought.
You were at the Avengers tower for movie might. You were sat on the sofa next to Bruce and Nat was sat in an arm chair opposite you. You stole glances of each other throughout the evening both of you wishing you were alone together. You looked at your empty glass and decided to get another drink, you asked the others if they wanted anything. You headed to the kitchen with a full list of orders. You started making some of the drinks, when you turned round to get something you saw Natasha sitting on the counter behind you.
“Hey Gorgeous” she said quietly as you moved towards her. You moved your hands around her waist and said “evening beautiful”. You looked into each other’s eyes for a moment, God Nat loved your eyes. You gently started to kiss, just a sweet kiss, one that was reassuring and full of love. Her arms rested on your shoulders.
“So that’s what’s taken you so long” Pepper said. As you both jumped, having not herd her enter the kitchen. Pepper quickly left the room, you and Nat quickly started making the rest of the drinks. You were both nervous as you didn’t know what the others thought about people being LGBTQ+. You carried in the drinks and set them on the table. Nat noticed that Bruce was in her seat, but before she could say anything he said “I thought you two might want to sit together”. She smiled and thanked him as she sat down next to you, the two of you held hands discreetly.
Once the movie was over the questions began. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Clint asked looking like a wounded puppy. “Why didn’t you tell any of us?” Tony asked.
“Its really none of your business” Nat said, her grip on your hand tightening. Pepper looked at the two of you and said “I had no idea either of you were into girls”.
“We weren’t sure what you guys thought of that kind of thing” you said as you thought about the discussion you and Nat had a few weeks ago. The team looked at the two of you surprised, Natasha’s grip tightening again.
“That is the last thing you have to worry about” Steve said, the rest of the avengers chimed in agreeing with him. Nat’s grip on your hand eased.
Maria
The avengers hadn’t assembled yet when Natasha found out. You and her were preparing for a mission,
“You know if you asked out Gillian from HR she would probably say yes”
“That’s why I don’t” You said as you checked your weapons catching Maria’s eye.
“Oh come on (y/n), you can’t stay single forever, at least have a taste of the USA” she says the last part jokingly.
You feel Maria arrive at your side and wrap an arm around your waist and say “Oh she’s already tasted what the US has to offer” before kissing you on the cheek and walking off.
Nat just looked at you, shocked, “you and Maria” she said her eyes still wide.
“Yep” You said smiling.
