YOUR POV
After training with Nat (you decided that giving her a nickname was better) you rushed to your room to shower and think about what just happened. You normally don't get distracted and it's never been to the point to where you couldn't hear someone come in. If you had noticed Clint standing there you would've never put yourself in the position with Nat. It would've saved you a lot of internal embarrassment if you had just been focused instead of making googly eyes at Nat. After the shower you got dressed and went to find Steve. It's about 8am now and you got bored and you also needed to rant so who better to talk to then your bestie Stevie. *knock knock* "Stevie are you in there!?" I shouted knowing I didn't have to yell because he could hear me just fine. "Yeah come in Y/N." He called out as I opened the door. As soon as I walked in I flopped on his bed and groaned into one of his pillows. "Ok bud what's up?" He said looking up from his book. *Mumbles into pillow* "What was that my old man ears can't hear you." Rogers said trying not to laugh at you. *Takes pillow off on face* "Ugh I hate you sometimes. Anyways I think I'm starting to fall for Nat." I said trailing off at the end. I could hear Steve put his book down and sigh without even look at him. "What happened?" He asked with curiosity. "Well we were training and I pinned her to the ground and we just stared at eachother for a moment and I thought she was leaning in... but then Clint came in and walked in on us so I panicked and left." I said with a sigh. "I never get distracted and to the point where I couldn't hear or smell him come in it was just embarrassing." I whined rolling over to stuff my face in his pillows again. He started rubbing my back trying to get me to calm down and it was working. "Look I'll make you a bet." He knew that caught my attention because I sprung up to sit and face him and all he could do was laugh. "If you can get Nat to kiss you and fall for you in these next two months I'll buy breakfast for then next month." Steven knew he got my attention when he reached out his hand for me to take. "You bet you ass Stevie boy." I said shaking his hand. "You know I hate it when you call me that." He scoffed unamused. "Exactly why I call you that." I said winking and laying back down to nap in his bed. "Woah what are you doing?" He shouted surprised that I'm still in here. "Taking a nap what does it look?" I said groaning at him. "Fine just don't drool on my pillows." He requested. "Shut up I don't even drool. Wake me up if I'm needed." I said drifting off. "Yeah yeah I'll be here." He replied but figured I couldn't hear him because I was already snoring.
STEVE'S POV
Y/N had fallen asleep after she ranted to me. I'm guessing she hadn't slept much recently. I decided to let her sleep because she looked so peaceful and when she cranky it's not a good thing. I finished reading my book it was about 8:30 in the morning and you didn't have to do much so you decided to go look for Tony. *in a whisper voice* "Hey JARVIS can you tell me where Tony is?" I asked the AI trying not to wake Y/N up. "He is in his lab Captain Rogers." The AI informed me. "Thank you JARVIS." I whispered back crawling out of bed trying not laugh at how sneaky I had to be. I successfully made it to the elevator and down to the lab where Tony was. "Hey Tony are you busy right now?" I asked while stepping into his lab. Bruce was also in there but he seemed to be busy. "No not really Rogers why? What's up?" He questioned while chewing on some mint peppermint gum. "I need a favor..." rubbing my neck as I said this unsure of how he would respond. Tony and I have a complicated relationship but let's not get into that right now. "Spit it our Rogers." He groaned as you were fidgeting. "I want to surprise Y/N with her own suit." I replied sheepishly. "Ahhh ok Rogers I was thinking the same thing. What do you have in mind?" He asked curiously. This also seemed to peak Bruce's attention because he actually looked up from his work at us. "Well I had some ideas that I wrote down in my journal." I said pulling out my notebook. "Here take a look." Handing my drawings for Tony to see.
Here's the mask idea Steve had:

"I want hers to be black so we match but if you have any other suggestions I'm all ears." I said looking up at him while he analyzes the suit. "No I think it's absolutely perfect. She's gonna love this Rogers." Tony replied enthusiastically.  "But what if she doesn't...?" I asked nervously. "Are you kidding me? Don't tell me you're scared. Here I'll make you a deal." He said with a sneaky smirk. Oh boy here we go with this again. "I will start on this right away IF you tell her to join S.H.E.I.L.D. Or you could let S.H.E.I.L.D. Design it and it will look like crap." He said raising an eyebrow. I had been thinking about joining S.H.E.I.L.D. because as of right now the Avengers weren't need for much but I was planning on talking to Y/N about it. Nat and Clint already work for S.H.E.I.L.D. And Stark funds a lot of the programs there so it wouldn't seem like a bad idea. Besides we would be together if we worked for them. I hesitated a moment before answering but finally spoke again, "Fine you have yourself a deal Stark." Shaking his hand as he had a whole victory dance. Banner and I couldn't help but laugh at the man because he got so excited over little things. "We can get started right now because she's asleep in my room." I said rubbing my hands together eager to get her surprise done. Tony and Banner looked at me confused I'm guessing they thought I meant that we were together. "Um we're not together only friends... she doesn't like guys sorry to disappoint." I said clearing the air making sure they didn't continue to get the wrong impression. "Oh. Well um I guess she's off limits them." Tony said kinda disappointed. "Anyways let's get started." I quickly asked trying to move on from the subject. We had spent the next 6 hours trying to get the right fit for Y/N. She was almost as tall as me I'm 6'2 and she's 5'11. She was also very muscular but also slender so we needed to make the suit a little thinner. She was never a small person but she wasn't very big either. While we were taking a break I decided to go check on her because to be honest this was a long nap. Pretty sure she hasn't been sleeping well because even in the 1930's she would only sleep about 3 hours max. I don't blame her though I struggle to sleep now, I've become a very light sleeper I guess you would say it's from PTSD. As I crept back to my room I opened my door and peaked my head in to see her sound asleep on me bed. I quietly smiled to my self and closed the door again because I didn't want to ruin whatever sleep she was finally getting. As I was turning to walk back to the lab I ran into Natasha and she started me. "Ahhh!" I yelled. She looked at me and started busting laughing right outside my door. "Shhhhh! She's sleeping." I whispered and pointed to my door. "Oh I didn't know you guys were a thing." She responded trying not to seem disappointed. "We're not but I'm guessing she didn't sleep last night so I'm letting her sleep right now." I responded while rolling my eyes confused on why everyone thinks we are together. "But she's in your bed?" Nat questioned while raising an eyebrow not buying it. "She came here after training with you and just fell asleep while we were talking." I informed her trying to get her off my back. I tried to guide her to the elevator as we talked so we wouldn't wake her up. "Oh did she say anything? About me I mean." She questioned trying to hide her curiosity. I raised an eyebrow at her confused on why she cared until it dawned on me. Nat might actually care about Y/N. Now Y/N has a better chance at getting Natasha to like her. So I decided to tease Nat about it. "And what if she did?" I said teasing her while leaning down to look at her. "Forget I said anything Rogers." She shot back dropping the whole thing. "I wouldn't blame you if you're interested in her Natasha, I personally think she would be good for you." I said getting out of the elevator as we got to Tony's lab. By Natasha ignoring my question I already knew the answer she had started to fall the the golden eyed brunette. "Have you thought about joining S.H.E.I.L.D. yet?" She asked as we walked towards Tony. "Yes but I also want to talk to Y/N about it so we could work together." I said continuing to help Tony. "Mhm ok. Remember you have a month before you need to make a decision. What are you guys working on?" She asked curiously as to why Tony and I actually had a project together. "It's a surprise for Y/N." I replied enthusiastically. "Yeah and don't go and ruin it Romanoff." Tony said playfully. "I don't plan on it. I'm actually going to go shopping so I'll see you guys later." She said walking away. "What's up with her?" Tony questioned suspiciously. "I have no idea." I replied letting out a sigh. "Lets make a bet to see who figures it out first?" He asked with a wink. Normally I wouldn't have agreed to this but why not. "$20 to the first person who gets Romanoff to tell us what's going on." The billionaire suggested. "Deal." I said shaking his hand knowing I'm about to win $20.
