Requested by ImLilMissComplicated, Nat gets locked out of the compound and goes to Steve's apartment.

Not many people were willing to piss off Natasha. Everyone knew that she could kill a man with her picky if she wanted to, and even if she didn't, she could make them suffer in whatever way she wanted. 

Unfortunately for her, the few people that she knew who weren't afraid to piss her off all lived in the same compound as her. 

Tony, Thor, Sam, and especially Clint, while still knowing very well that she could kill them with a flick of her wrist, seemed to find joy in seeing just how many of her buttons they could push. 

Obviously, she'd never kill her teammates. She may consider it occasionally, but she'd never actually cause them pain. 

One of the times she seriously considered it was the day that she had gotten back from a three week long mission and she was exhausted. 

All she had wanted to do was go to her floor, eat a peanut butter sandwich, and then try and get some sleep. 

It was pouring rain out when she had arrived and she was already in a bad mood because she was soaked. Rather then send a car to pick her up, Fury had dropped off her motorcycle.

She hoped that the others were already a sleep and that she could just go straight to her floor without any grievances. 

Obviously that didn't happen. 

As if the guys had all known that she was already in a terrible mood, they had planned another stupid prank against her in hopes of getting her to admit that she and Steve were a thing. 

They had been convinced of it for weeks, and as many times as she had denied it, they refused to buy her lie. Steve didn't live at the compound anymore so now the brunt of the pestering had been focused on her. 

Natasha had gone to enter the compound only to find that she was denied access.

"Natasha Romanoff," She said again, scanning her thumbprint. 

"Access temporarily denied," Jarvis replied. 

Natasha frowned, "Natalia Romanova."

"Access temporarily denied." 

She frowned again, "What the fuck?? Natalie Rushman."

"Access temporarily denied." 

"Jarvis contact Stark right now," She said, growing more and more irritated the longer she stood in the rain. 

The AI began the call and soon enough Tony's voice rang through the system, "Hey there Natalie. The weathers looking pretty nasty out there."

Natasha glared at the camera, "Stark if you don't open this damn door right now I swear to god..."

"Sorry no can do. Systems down...but hey, Birdbrain just suggested you go down to your boyfriend's apartment. I should be able to fix this whole system malfunction by tomorrow."

Natasha shook her head, "First of all, he's not my boyfriend. And secondly, you know damn well that there's no system malfunction. If I find a way into this building I'm going to kick your ass." 

Tony cleared his throat, "Jarvis! The compound is being threatened, please put it on lock down," He called out in the background.  

"See ya tomorrow Romanoff," He said, turning off the speaker. 

Natasha cursed and flicked off the camera before storming back to her motorcycle. 

She drove to Steve's apartment and sighed. She loved staying the night with Steve but now it felt like she was intruding. It was nearly midnight and she was soaking wet and starving.

Natasha knocked on his door and was surprised when he answered almost immediately.

"Nat? Oh my god you're soaked," Steve said, grabbing her hand and pulling her inside his apartment. 

Natasha sighed and leaned into Steve's embrace, "I'm seriously close to knocking Tony and the others on their asses the next time I see them." 

Steve chuckled and led her into his room, "I'm sure that there's a story behind that but let's get you into some dry clothes first."

Natasha  nodded and thanked Steve as he handed her a sweatshirt and a pair of shorts she had left behind at his apartment.

She quickly changed and then joined Steve on his couch, "Thanks for the clothes. I'm sorry to drop in on you in the middle of the night. Tony and the others decided to lock me out of the compound." 

Steve raised an eyebrow, "They locked you out?" 

"They put the entire compound on lock down so that I'd come here. They still think we're dating." 

Steve laughed, "We are dating."

Natasha grinned and shoved Steve lightly, "They're not supposed to know that. They don't have any evidence. They thought we were dating even before we actually were." 

Steve held Natasha's hand and gently kissed her forehead, "You know, maybe we should just tell them. I know you wanted to keep it a secret for a while but its been almost three months. Maybe if we just tell them they'll stop trying to get it out of us in extreme ways."

Natasha sighed, considering it for a moment. At this point, she couldn't even remember why she had been so adamant about keeping it a secret in the first place. 

"If you still want to wait a little bit longer, we can wait. But maybe if they knew we wouldn't have to sneak around so much. You could maybe stay here more often if you'd like," Steve said, looking down at their intertwined hands. 

Natasha nodded, "Okay...lets tell them."

Steve smiled, "Are you sure?"

She nodded again, "I can't think of a reason not to anymore. At this point, they can't get any more irritating. Maybe this will get them to shut up for a little while." 

Steve laughed and leaned forward, kissing Natasha lightly, "Have you eaten tonight? I've got leftover Chinese in the fridge." 

Natasha couldn't help but smile, Steve really was too good for her, "That sounds amazing. I'm starving."

Before she could get up to get it herself, Steve was fixing her a plate. She shook her head and walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist and leaning up to pepper kisses along his jaw, "I don't know what I did to deserve you." 

Steve turned around with a smile, leaning down to kiss her, "Everything." 

She shook her head with a small laugh as Steve handed her the plate of food. 

"How was your mission?" He asked, sitting down across from her again. 

Natasha shrugged, "Same as normal. No injuries this time so I can't complain." 

Steve nodded, "Well I'm glad you're back. I missed you." 

"I missed you too. I don't know why I didn't just plan on staying here tonight even before they locked me out," She mumbled, finishing off the food and tossing the paper plate into the garbage. 

Steve smiled, "I almost asked you to come but I wasn't sure when you'd get back."

Natasha wrapped her arms around his waist again and sighed as she rested her head against his chest.

Steve could tell that she was tired so they made their way to his bedroom. Natasha laid down besides him and he wrapped his arms around her loosely, his eyebrows furrowing as he thought. 

"Nat?" He asked tentatively. 

She looked up at him, "Yeah?"

"What if you moved in?" He asked, brushing a piece of her hair from her face. 

Natasha raised an eyebrow but she didn't look as though she disliked the idea, more like it surprised her, "Are you sure?"

Steve nodded, "Once we tell the others, we might need a place to get away for a while." 

Natasha laughed, "Well when you put it like that, why not?" 

Steve grinned and leaned down to gently kiss her.

Natasha smirked into the kiss, "Plus, living with you will mean we get more time to break in this bed of yours. It feels a little stiff." 

Steve shook his head with a quiet chuckle, "I love you."

"I love you too," Natasha mumbled, resting her head against Steve's chest. 

She hadn't imagined that her night would turn out like this, but she was certainly not upset about it. 

All she could hope for now, was that Tony and the others would have a heart attack when they found out that Natasha was not only dating Steve, but that they would be living together. 

Hey guys. This chapter might be a little bit of a mess but I hope you still enjoyed it. I'm sure some of you guys might want a part 2 of them telling Tony and the others but honestly, it wouldn't be for another 60 or so chapters because of how many request and drafts I have so I'm not going to do any other parts to this. If you enjoyed this, please comment and vote. Like always, I hope you are all staying safe and healthy!
