Title: Love You Like a Love Song

Disclaimer: Characters are Marvel’s. Story is mind. Headcanon is my crack.
Rating: PG
Warnings: Angst. Lots of it. Feels. Some fluff.
Author’s Note: I have feels sometimes. Forgive me for some fluffy cheesy crack.
Summary: Unfortunately, pop music was inherent to the culture and they were subjected to it, again, and again, and again. By proxy, due to Natasha’s temperament and Steve’s insatiable curiosity, their teammates were also subjected to their reactions to it. Again, and again, and again.
The Pit - Silversun Pickups
Pepper offered to share her exercise playlists with Natasha for her new ipod that she got for her fake birthday in September. Natasha was delighted to discover new music until she realized that Pepper and her had very different tastes in music. Not that Pepper’s was bad…it’s just…no, really, Natasha didn’t understand how a person could jog to that music and not stop to listen to it and wonder how high the songwriters were.
“It’s just not logical,” she explained to Steve, reaching up to fit the earbuds in his ears. He shook his head and she said, “You’ll understand.”
He paused and said, “You should never clean out wounds with dirty fingers.”
“Unsanitary,” agreed Natasha. “High risk of infection.”
“He had a feeling she might WHAT?” asked Steve, looking confused.
“I don’t know. Something ayayayayalight?” Natasha threw her hands in the sky. “I have no idea!”
“What is the pit?” he asked. “Is it a metaphor?”
“But for what?” she asked.
“I don’t think they should talk about it later,” Steve said slowly. “I mean, if she’s giving in, then they won’t talk about it. And this is just weird.”
“They should never get back together,” Natasha said, taking the ear buds back.
“Like ever,” agreed Steve with a smile.
