#laura barton

Fandom: Marvel (MCU) Pairing: Blackhill (Maria Hill/Natasha Romanov) Words: 593 For @flashfictionfridayofficial's weekly prompt #357: It's So Obvious [Now on AO3]

Lately, her friends have been growing closer with each passing day, but when confronted, their denial is swift. Firm. Short in a way that removes all room for doubt.

The two of them are usually better at hiding their intentions.

For Laura, it's as clear as day.

A tender smile secreted away from view. The soft graze of a hand that lingers. A tangible pull as they fall into each other’s orbit, entirely helpless in the face of gravity.

Watching these two dance around the topic is entertaining enough, but a slight push in the right direction could be just what they need.

Laura Barton: “Really?”
