New Year's Eve could be both good and bad.

It was always a good thing because it was a celebration of what was to come in the next year, and how things could change or they could be so different but for a good reason.

However, it was bad because of the parties Tony always threw – they were extravagant, over the top and always filled with alcohol.

Which wasn't unusual for Tony.

He'd been planning his New Year's Eve party for a month, roping Pepper in to help him too, and of course all of the team was invited which meant any significant other of the team was dragged along too.

You loved Steve, and got on well with the team despite not working closely with them whilst you worked at S.H.I.E.L.D.

Whilst you were getting dressed, Steve came into your bedroom and stood behind you "You look gorgeous."

You smiled at him in the mirror, moving your hair aside so you could clasp your necklace, "Thank you," you answered him "As always, you clean up nicely too."

He chuckled, wrapping his arms around your waist, "Come on, we better get going."

You nodded in response, the two of you making your way down to where the car that Tony had sent was parked.

When the two of you reached the tower, Steve opened your door for you and you linked your arm through his.

"As always, Tony has gone over the top," you stated as the two of you walked into the lounge to see all of the decorations, the DJ was set up in the corner with music booming, the balcony was open to everyone and of course the bar was surrounded.

Your boyfriend chuckled, "It makes for a good night though."

You couldn't disagree with him, as many of your good nights had been spent at one of Tony's parties.

Natasha noticed you from where she was sat with the rest of the team, bar Tony as he was probably finding more alcohol, and waved the two of you over.

Steve sat down, allowing you to sit gently on his knee as there wasn't another seat available.

"How have you two been? We've missed you around here Steve," Bruce spoke up with a smile on his face.

Steve chuckled, wrapping his arm around your waist, "Sorry but I needed to take a couple days off to, you know, sleep."

His words caused your group of friends to laugh "Have you heard this guy snore? I was glad I had work so I didn't have to hear it," you joked.

"Gee thanks Doll."

You laughed but turned to kiss his cheek, "You know I love it really."

He smiled and then kissed you properly "And I love you."

Clint wold wolf whistled, having a smirk on his face, "Kissing her a bit early Cap – gotta wait for midnight."
