938 Words
Tony was known for his parties but this time he wanted to throw a different type of party, a ball to be exact.
After recently seeing the live action Cinderella he had the idea to throw a ball to make himself feel like a prince.
Being Clint's little sister you spent a lot of time with the Avengers, much to Clint's dismay. Other than your brother you were very close to Steve, he was like a second brother to you. Well, all of the Avengers were like your family.
"Are you coming to this ball thing tonight?" Steve asked handing you a can of Diet Coke.
"I don't think so, I don't have a dress." You sighed take a sip of your drink.
"Well, do you know how it's your birthday next week I've kind of got you a early birthday present." Steve smiled at you.
"I told you not to get me anything, I won't except your gift." You shook your head.
"Be quiet and come on." Steve grabbed your hand and dragged you to his room.
He placed his hands over your eyes and led you into the room.
"Okay, are you ready?" Steve asked, you nodded your head in response.
Steve removed his hands from you eyes. You gasped as you saw what was in front of you. A ball gown. It wasn't a traditional ball gown, it was a two piece. It was absolutely stunning.

"Steve this is too much." You said reaching out to touch it.
"Okay I'll take it back then." Steve laughed.
"No, no I'll keep it." You said hugging the dress. "Steve thank you so much." You hugged Steve.
"Carefully there, you're crushing my bones." Steve chuckled.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt anything." You heard Bucky say before he rushed out and closed Steve's door.
"Shit." You mumbled hoping Bucky didn't think there was anything going on between you and Steve.
You had a crush on Bucky ever since he regained his memory. Once you had met Bucky, the real Bucky not the one who didn't know his own name, you instantly started to like him. The way he flirted with you, the way he would drape his arm around you when you were sat next to him everything he did made your heart flutter.
"He's going tonight, maybe you should finally make a move." Steve knew all about your crush.
"No chance. I'm gonna go start getting ready." You sighed grabbing the dress and thanking Steve.
One hour until the ball and you weren't prepared at all. You walked into the spare bedroom where you often stayed and started to prepare for the night.
You laid out all of your makeup on the desk and started to get ready for the night.
An hour later you were ready. Your hair was pinned up with strands framing your face. You had a brown smokey with a little bit of mascara and a red lip. You had found a pair of heels that matched your dress perfectly.
Once you were happy with your appearance you made your way to the ball which was being held in the avengers tower.
You could hear that the ball had already started and of course you were the last person to arrive.
You opened the doors and suddenly everyone's eyes were on you. You looked around and soon your eyes found Bucky's. He's mouth was hanging open as he looked you up and down. Smirking, you made your way to Steve who was at the bar.
"This isn't really a ball is it? It's just another party but everyone's dressed up." You laughed taking a glass of champagne from Steve.
"You look beautiful." He smiled, kissing you on the cheek.
"Woah, baby sis. Who knew you could actually look presentable." Clint said leaning against the bar.
"I swear to god Clint, if you piss me off tonight I am going to throat punch you." You warned your brother.
"Feisty, I love it." You froze as you felt the cold metal hand on your hip. "You look beautiful princess."
"Thank you James." You said in almost a whisper.
"May I have this dance?" Bucky said bowing in front of you.
"Yes you may." You said placing you hand in his.
You were surprised at how good Bucky was at ball room dancing. He led you around the room easily dipping you now and again.
"You are truly beautiful." Bucky softly in your ear.
"You aren't to bad yourself James." You replied.
"I'm going to kiss you now." Bucky said cupping your cheek before placing his lips onto yours. This kiss was gentle. Bucky was scared that if he kissed you harder he wouldn't be able to stop himself. You ran your hand up his metal arm then combed through his long brown hair earning a moan from Bucky.
"We probably should stop, there's people watching." You mumbled pulling away.
Bucky continued to lead you around the dance floor, your dress flowing around you.
"I really like you princess. I have done for a while." Bucky said spinning you in the process. "I have been too scared to tell you until now. What I'm saying is, do you want to go out for dinner some time."
You were lost for words. He liked you back. You couldn't stop the smiled forming on your face.
"Of course, I would love that." You pecked his lips lightly.
Bucky was ecstatic. Be placed both hands on your waist and often you up spinning you around.
"I can't wait." Bucky smiled before attaching his lips to yours once again.
