Child's Play

Summary: Or, how Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff fell in love.

A/N: This will be a collection of drabbles, because curse my writer's block- I can't stick to one story without starting another one. So this is just drabbles & thank god I've stumbled upon 'The Nanny Diaries' or else I wouldn't be fangirling this hard.

As well, since school is coming up in a week or so, this is my attempt at trying to get back into the 'writing scene' for Language Arts, considering I haven't been writing frequently.

There is no timeline to these chapters.

No beta & all mistakes are mine.

Please review- & I hope you enjoy.

Reviews keep me going. If you're liking the story, please review! I need to know if this story is worth continuing.

I never do disclaimers because I trust people are smart enough to decipher who owns what, but for safety measures...

Disclaimer: As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, I, passionately happy, do not own any recognizable parties used in this fanfiction.

"Love is for children," she says.

"It doesn't have to be," he replies.

un.

"Agent Romanoff- Captain Rogers."

Oh. My. God.

"Ma'am," he nods, giving her a smile.

Natasha inwardly fangirls.

"Hi," she squeaks.

So this is the infamous Captain America? He was fiiiiine. Natasha looked him up and down for a moment and put her best smile on, hoping to wow him-

- but then she saw Coulson's mooning expression and thought otherwise.

(If she was going to try and make a move on Captain America, she has to get rid of Coulson first.)

"They need you on the bridge," she says to Coulson by means of driving him away. "They're starting the face trace."

Coulson gives a nod to Natasha and sends one last fanboy look at Steve. "See you there."

The pair watched as Coulson left and began to walk in the opposite direction.

" It was quite the buzz around here, finding you in the ice," she begins, casting a look to the Captain. Steve smiles, nodding. "Thought Coulson was gonna swoon. Did he ask you to sign his Captain America trading cards yet?"

He's not the only one that's swooning, Natasha thought.

Steve raises an eyebrow. "Trading cards?"

Natasha chuckles; befuddled Steve looked absolutely adorable. "They're vintage. He's very proud."

Steve shoots Natasha an amused smile and her heart soars. They peered into each other's eyes for a moment until Steve's attention was directed to a man behind them.

"Dr. Banner!"

Natasha inwardly groans and curses the Hulk, her fear of him turning into contempt.

Couldn't he let her have just one moment with Captain America?
