Social-Suicide

Part 16

It had been a month since the 'family' dinner and things were going great for the couple, surprisingly so. Steve had taken Natasha out on numerous occasions, causing the rumors about their marriage being a rouse to subside. Steve and Natasha also went back to work, with Natasha preparing for her pageant and Steve working hard at Rogers Corp.

As Steve was sitting at his desk with a coffee in one hand and a file in the other the door to his office burst open.

Steve looked up to find his brother wearing a dorkish grin on his face as he looked down at the magazine in his hands.

Steve cocked an eyebrow "what are you smiling about?" He questioned as he took a sip of his coffee and sat the mug down on his desk

"You have to read this, it's hilarious." He said as he motioned towards the magazine in his hands before throwing it down on the blonds desk

Steve picked up the magazine to find a picture of him and Natasha during their picnic. Coincidentally paparazzi had caught the moment where Steve whipped the cream from her lips using the pad of his thumb.

"Their calling you guys the 'it couple'." Tony chuckled "a couple to admire. It's hilarious, right? I mean Steve Rogers can never love someone especially not Natasha Romanoff." He laughed

Steve looked up at his brother with a challenging, yet curious look on his face "what is that supposed to mean?" He questioned

"Look all I'm saying is that you are incapable of love." Tony replied putting his hands up in defense "and beside, if you were capable of falling in love it surely wouldn't be with Natasha." He added

Steve opened his mouth about to retaliate when his phone rang pulling him away from the conversation at hand. "Hold that thought." He said to his brother who nodded

Pulling his phone out of his pocket he found that it was his mother calling, which is unusual, his mom never calls him while he's at work. "Mom?" He asked over the phone

"Steve, thank God. Have you seen the article?" She asked

Steve furrowed his eyebrows "what article?"

Sarah sighed "the Marvel Mag article, about Natasha." She replied in a duh tone

"Uh, no, I haven't had the chance to. Why, any good?" He asked fiddling with a pen on his desk

Sarah sighed "Steve, you better read it." She said before hanging up the phone leaving no further explanation

Steve pulled his phone away from his ear and looked at it quizzically.

"What was that about?" Tony asked as he took a seat on the opposite side of the blond

Steve shrugged as he put the phone back in his pocket "absolutely no idea, but I'm about to find out." He replied as he sat back down and began to type on his computer.

Pulling up the Marvel Mag article Steve's eyes widened in both shock and rage as he saw the headline.

"What the hell?" He muttered

"What?" Tony questioned with furrowed eyebrows as he peered over at the blond

With no answer from the blond, Tony got up and walked around to the other side of the desk looking over Steve's shoulder.

"That's not good." Tony said

'Natasha Romanoff's sex tape released' read the headline

"I gotta go!" Steve said as he got up from his chair grabbing his coat, almost hitting the brunette behind him in the process
