Playing Cupid 2/3 (Bruce x Reader)

You hurried downstairs and walked into the lap clutching a paper pink heart. You walked over to Tony’s desk and placed it in the middle where you were certain he’d see it. You then flipped the calendar over to the right month and placed that next to the heart. Hopefully that would be enough to make Tony realize that there was less than a week until Valentine’s Day.

You turned around to leave the room, not taking your eyes off of the desk as you did so. In fact you were so busy looking at the desk that you bumped into Bruce as he entered the lap,

“I thought you’d finished for the day,” Bruce said with a smile,

“And I thought you had too,”

“Touché,” Bruce replied, “So what are you doing here?”

“Putting my plan into action,” you answered. Bruce raised his eyebrows,

“And would that be?”

“At the moment it’s making Tony remember Valentine’s Day,”

“By leaving a heart on his desk?”

“It should be enough to make him think,” you defended before walking over to the door, “Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to find Thor.”



You found Thor in the kitchen making a sandwich but he looked up as soon as you walked in,

“Lady (Y/n)!” He cried, “How are you?”

“I’m good thanks,” You answered, “But I wanted to ask you something,”

“Alright, what can I help you with?”

“I was wondering if Jane had told you about Valentine’s Day,”

“…No,” Thor answered slowly causing you to smile slightly, “What is it?”

“It’s a holiday where people in relationships buy each other gifts and do romantic things for each other,” you explained, keeping it as simple as possible,

“And when is this Day of Valentine’s?”

“14th February,”

“But that’s in a few days isn’t it?” Thor cried. You nodded,

“…Yeah,”

“So what am I supposed to do?” Thor asked, you could detect a hint of panic in his voice,

“Just get her a nice present,”

“Such as what?”

“Well traditionally people give chocolates and flowers on Valentine’s Day,”

“And you think Jane will like them?” Thor said as he started to calm down,

“Yes, maybe get her a card as well,”

“Where do I get those thing from?”

“Lots of shops in town will sell them,” you informed Thor before adding, “Don’t worry I’ll take you this afternoon and help you find something,” when you saw a look of terror pass across Thor’s face.

“Thank you,” he said with a smile before you picked up a bag of crisps and headed out of the room.



Your plan had been to talk to Steve next but you ended up running into Tony.

“I need help (Y/n)!” He cried,

“You’re going to have to narrow it down slightly,” You replied,

“It’s Valentine’s Day on Saturday and I completely forgot. Pepper’s going to kill me!”

“No she’s not,” You told him, “Saturday’s still a few days away, you’ve got days to sort something out,”

“Like what!?” Tony cried, clearly still in a state of panic,

“Book a table at a nice restaurant,”

“Right, right,” Tony said as he started to try and order his thoughts, “Any particular place?”

“Well I think Pepper’ll like Wilson’s-”

“That fancy place down the road?”

“Yeah, and make sure you turn your phone of so that there’s no distraction,”

“Great, what about a present?”

“Well you know her better than me, you must know what she likes,”

“Yeah,” Tony said, taking a deep breath and leaning against the wall, “She was admiring this dress the other day, I could get her that…” You nodded and Tony smiled, “Thanks, I’m going to get it now,” and with that Tony stood up and hurried back down the hall,

“Do you know where Steve is?” You cried after him,

“Living room!” Tony shouted over his shoulder.



Just as Tony said you found Steve in the living room watching a film,

“Hey Steve,” you said sitting down next to him, “What are you watching?”

“Pitch Perfect,”

“Really?”

“Yeah, it’s Sharon’s favourite film and I thought it’d be nice to watch it with her on Valentine’s Day but I thought I’d watch it first.” You nodded,

“Makes sense. So what are your Valentine’s Day plans?” You asked,

“Umm, Sharon and I thought it would be nice to just stay in, watch a film and order a takeaway. I’m in charge of picking the film and Sharon’s in charge of picking the takeaway,”

“Sounds good,” you said with a smile, Steve really was so sweet, “have you thought about presents?”

“Yeah…I don’t know whether to get her a necklace or some earrings,” Steve mussed, “maybe you could help me?”

“Sure,” you replied, “what do they look like?”

“Well the earrings are these lilac gems shaped like little stars and the necklace is a pendent with like a silver swirl on it with an orange gem in the middle. Which do you think sound better?”

“Umm… The earrings,” you said thoughtfully, “although they both sound good,”

“Thanks,” Steve said with a grin, causing you to grin back.



You ended up watching the rest of the film with Steve before you went to find Clint.

You found him sitting in the rafters above the training room looking slightly sad,

“What’s up Hawk?” You asked him as you climbed up to sit next to him,

“Nothing,” he mumbled,

“Yes there is, tell me,”

“I just had an argument with Nat,” Clint sighed. You frowned slightly, that might mess up your Valentine’s Day plans,

“What happened?”

“I wanted to do something for Valentine’s Day but she didn’t,” Clint groaned and you nodded slightly,

“Let me talk to her, I might be able to work something out,” you said and Clint’s eyes instantly lit up,

“Really? If you succeed I will buy you a cake!”

“Deal.”



You walked headed to Natasha’s room to find her lying across her bed reading,

“No,” Nat said before you had even opened your mouth,

“What!?” You cried,

“I know you’re here to try and convince to go along with Clint’s plan,”

“Well you could at least try and do something for Valentine’s Day.” Nat lowered her book and glared at you,

“Why?” She asked, “What’s the point?”

“Well it’d make Clint happy for a start,”

“Yes but I don’t get why we have to have a special day to celebrate everything romantic, it’s so… cheesy,” Nat cried, pulling a weird face,

“Ok, well, don’t think of it like that, think of it as just another date,”

“This is Clint we’re talking about though. He’ll try and make it special and ugh,” Nat groaned. You rolled your eyes,

“No he won’t,” you sighed, “He’ll just try and do something you’ll enjoy,”

“Exactly so I’ll have to spend the entire night pretending to enjoy myself!” You frowned,

“Did it ever occur to you that you might actually enjoy it?”

“No believe it or not,” Nat replied, picking her book back up,

“How about if you plan it with him?” Nat didn’t say anything so you continued, “Then you could make sure that it will be something you like plus Clint will be happy?” Nat sighed,

“If I say yes will you leave me alone?”

“Yes,”

“Fine I’ll do it.” You grinned,

“Great, now if you’ll excuse me I have to go claim a cake and take Thor into town.”
