Requested by ImLilMissComplicated, Steve has to help Natasha get away from a bunch of kittens and puppies...I struggled with this alot so thank you to ROMANOFFWARRIOR for helping out. 

Natasha liked animals. She thought dogs were cute and wouldn't be opposed to having a small cat roam around her apartment if she had a job that required less of her time. However, she didn't like them nearly as much as Steve did. 

To say Steve loved animals would be an understatement. Dogs in particular seemed to turn the normally put together Captain into someone who had no issues rolling around and laughing with a furry little creature. 

Natasha found it undeniably endearing and had hardly been reluctant when Steve asked her to come to the pet store with her just to get out of the compound for a little while.

"You wanna go to the pet store...just to look at the dogs?" Natasha teased.

Steve grinned, "Yes."

She rolled her eyes, "Fine. But you know we can't get a pet."

Steve sighed, "Yeah I know."

"When do you wanna go?" Natasha asked, looking up at him. 

He shrugged, "Tomorrow morning?"

Natasha nodded, "Alright."

She laid her head back down on his chest and furrowed her eyebrows. She felt like she was being watched. She didn't feel threatened...it was more like the feeling she had when Tony had installed cameras in the elevator. 

"Did Tony come in here earlier?" She asked Steve.

He shook his head, "Not that I'm aware of...why?"

Natasha shook her head, the feeling had passed, "It's nothing." 

Steve would have pressed her more about the question but her eyes were already fluttering shut and he could tell that whatever she was thinking about clearly wasn't that big of a deal.

Soon, they were both fast asleep.

-------------------------------------

"Shut up! They're going to hear you!" Clint whispered, elbowing Tony in the shoulder. 

Tony pushed him back, shoving him further into the vent, "You're being louder then I am! Just move forward."

Clint mumbled back another insult and continued crawling towards the vent's exit. 

"Hand me the thingy," Clint said, quietly lifting the vent.

Tony pulled a small vile from his pocket and handed it from Clint. 

He quickly dropped into the couples bathroom and grabbed Natasha's perfume, "Do I dump the whole thing in?"

Tony nodded, "Yes, now do it and lets get out of here before she hears us."

Clint poured the liquid into the bottle and then used the sink as leverage to pull himself back into the vent. He and Tony quickly crawled away and didn't drop out of the vents until they were back in the living room. The moment they did, the two fell over in a fit of laughter. 

"She's going to kill us," Clint said, holding his side. 

Tony nodded, "It'll be worth it." 

Clint laughed again, "What's that stuff gonna do?" 

Tony grinned, "It's going to attract all the animals to her."

---------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Natasha couldn't help but smile as she watched Steve get ready to go to the pet store. He was obviously excited and couldn't keep trying to rush Natasha.

"Nat, you don't need to put makeup on. We're just going to the pet store...not to mention, you look beautiful with or without it."

Natasha rolled her eyes, "Fine. Let me just do my hair and put some perfume on and I'll be ready." 

Steve grinned and left her to get ready.

A few minutes later, Natasha was ready and they took the elevator down to the main floor, where Tony and Clint were sitting at the bar looking awfully suspicious. 

"Morning lovebirds. Where are you off to?" Tony asked as Clint took a sip of his coffee to hide his smirk.

Natasha rolled her eyes, "Out. Why do you two look so guilty?" 

"Guilty? C'mon Natasha why do you have no faith in us?" Clint asked. 

Steve frowned, "You're track record isn't exactly clean."

Tony shrugged, "I don't know what you're talking about. We're just two teammates enjoying our coffee." 

Natasha shook her head, "Whatever."

She grabbed Steve's hand and they walked out to her car. As she drove, she couldn't help but laugh at Steve's boyish grin. He looked over the moon at the fact that he and Natasha were going to the pet store. 

When they pulled up to the store, Steve was quick to get out and grab Natasha's hand, practically pulling her along. 

Once they were inside the store, several people were more then willing to help Captain America and the Black Widow...eventually were brought back to the room where they kept the animals. 

On one side of the room, there was several pins with litters of puppies, a few older dogs, and on the other side, cats and kittens. 

The second the pair walked into the room, all hell broke loose. 

The dogs were barking and clawing at their gates while all the cats started meowing and trying to get out of their pins.

Natasha raised an eyebrow, "Is this normal?" 

The worker frowned, "Um no. I'm sure they're just excited to see people. We don't get a lot of costumers so that's probably it."

Natasha wasn't sure she bought it but Steve still looked excited so she tried to ignore the animals' strange behavior. 

"Uh, is there one you'd like to meet?" The worker asked.

Steve looked at Natasha, who was staring at one large dog who seemed very adamant about getting out of his pin, "That one?"

The worker nodded and unlocked the pin. The dog busted out and sprinted towards Natasha, jumping onto her and sniffing and licking her. 

She fell over with a surprised yelp and let out a slight laugh as she tried to push him away. 

Steve bent down and pet the dog, "I guess this one likes you."

Before Natasha could respond, another dog knocked the entire pin down and nearly eleven dogs and puppies came sprinting to Natasha. 

"What the fuck," Natasha mumbled as they all jumped at her. 

Steve stifled a laugh and looked at the worker, who looked horrified.

Suddenly another crash echoed through the room and a dozen cats came towards Natasha as well. 

She was sitting on the ground with tons of cats and dogs who seemed to just love her. Steve couldn't help but laugh as she looked up at him, confused and slightly irritated. 

"A little help here?" She asked. 

Steve nodded and began helping the worker put the animals back in the pins that were not broken. 

"Miss Romanoff, I want to formally apologize again. This is not normal behavior at all," The owner apologized as Natasha and Steve were gathering their things. 

Natasha shook her head. She knew exactly what happened and it had nothing to do with the animals, "Don't worry about it. It's really alright."

Steve nodded and they soon left the store. 

"That was odd," Steve said with a small laugh.

Natasha shook her head, "Tony and Clint did it. I'm sure they did something to make all this happen." 

Steve nodded, "You think that's why they looked so guilty?" 

"I know it's why they looked guilty." 

They drove back to the compound and Natasha had stormed off towards the common room with her taser in hand. 

Steve chased after her and caught up to her right as she pinned Clint to the ground with her taser pressed against his back, "What the fuck did you do?"

Clint winced, "Nothing. I don't know what you're talking about."

Natasha tased him and shook her head, "Wrong answer."

"Ow! Ask Stark! It was his idea," Clint said, trying to escape her grip.

Steve watched from the side as she tased his leg again before storming off to Tony's lab, where she quickly found him. 

"You wanna tell me what the hell you did?" She asked, kicking the back of his knee so he fell down in front of her.

Tony cleared his throat, "You know, you should really ask Clint. It was his idea."

Natasha laughed dryly, "Funny. He said the same thing."

"It was just a little formula. Nothing long lasting," Tony confessed, eyeing her taser cautiously. 

Natasha narrowed her eyes, "That did what?"

"The chemicals made the animals attracted to you," Tony said, wincing as she pointed her taser at him. 

She tased him and hook her head, "You both are fucking idiots." 

Tony frowned, "Well you're fucking an old man."

Natasha rolled her eyes, "Damn right I am." 

She turned away and walked towards Steve, grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the elevator. 

"Feel better?" He asked, laughing a bit. It was always fun to watch Natasha get revenge when their idiot teammates pranked her. 

Natasha nodded, "Almost. Once you take me to bed I'll get over it."

Steve laughed and pulled her to her for a kiss, "Yes ma'am."
