First kiss

Maria was one hundred percent, completely in love with Natasha Romanoff. From the first moment she'd seen the ex Russian assassin join SHIELD, and watched her train and become the woman she is, Maria had loved her. Firstly it had been platonic, an admiration of her, but as they grew closer, and worked together, Maria knew different.

It had now been a few years since the pair had met, and they had grown very close. The two had worked together for awhile, and were often spending time together with work. Although not an Avenger, Maria was seen as a valuable asset to the team, so when Stark built the compound for the team to inhabit, Maria was invited, so they essentially lived together.

Due to privacy and global security reasons, there weren't many people who worked around the compound, so apart from occasional cleaners, the compound was left to the more than capable Avengers. Because of this, they often took turns with communal tasks such as cooking and decorating. Today was Marias turn, which Natasha often looked forward to. Marias Dutch and Italian roots really came to play on the nights when Maria cooked for the group.

After about an hour of telling people to get out of the kitchen and leave her alone if they wanted to eat, only accepting help from Natasha, Maria served up the food. A simple pasta dish today, but much appreciated by everyone after a long week. People sat in their respective seats and the food was passed around, with 'thank you' muttered here and there. Natasha was given her food and she looked up and locked eyes with Maria as she placed the bowl on the table.

'Why thank you beautiful Maria' Natasha smirked.

'No problem darling' Maria flirted back, rising her eyebrow slightly. A few eyes turned in their direction, but their casual flirting was mostly ignored.

Next to receive their food was Bruce, who thanked Maria dearly, an always polite man. Maria replied with a sincere 'no problem Bruce'.

At that, Tony's head snapped around to look at Bruce, and then Maria who was giving a dish to Clint.

'Oooh what was that there Banner?' He jokingly sneered.

'Huh?' Bruce replied.

'You seem friendly with little miss Hill over there.' Tony smirked, but was soon silenced as Maria gave him a stone-cold glare.

'Do you want food or not Stark?' Maria asked rhetorically.

'Hey, calm down, he was just being flirty with you.' At that comment, a very uncomfortable Bruce glanced at Natasha across the table who sighed sympathetically. Bruce was a close friend of Natashas, they were each the first people they'd come out to, and had formed an alliance of sorts.

'Hey Stark, why don't you shut the fuck up about Marias romantic life and get one yourself?' Natasha butted in, slightly fed up of Stark constantly telling her girl-crush to get with different men in the compound when she knows that Maria would rather do anything else.

'Damn okay, you have a crush on Bruce or something?' Tony pushed.

'Stark, do you remember what happened last time you pissed me off?' Natasha threatened.

'Okay, okay sorry for annoying you and your little girl crush.' And with that, Natasha pulled a gun out from somewhere on her body and pointed it right at Tony.

The room froze, even Maria who was just sitting down, and after a few seconds people began to yell and shout.

Tony was the first 'fucking hell Natasha put that away!' This awoke a chorus of shout from around the room, none even fazing her.

'Tasha!' Came a sharp shout from across the table and her head turned that way.

'Hill, I'm not actually gonna kill him' Natashas face softened at the woman.
