Imagine; you have an hourglass figure, with quite the front and back, you usually wear baggy clothes to hide it, one day the avengers invite you to the pool party.
Your bathing suit:
•••
With a figure like you have, some people find it hard to believe that you're very insecure.
The reason for that mainly is that most people think you've had plastic surgery, but that's absolutely not the case.
You hide your body with baggy clothes like that singer, Billie Eilish. You don't want the world gossiping about you and plastic surgery or maybe even objectifying you.
You've seen it with Natasha, since she's a female avenger with quite the body, she gets objectified all the time, you just didn't want that.
But ever since you got the invite to the annual pool party, you've been thinking about it. Mainly because of something Steve said the other day.
"I don't care what a girl looks like, I'm not interested in her body i'm interested whats on the inside.."
That got you thinking, why would it be so bad that your close friends knew about it?, it's not like they would leak it or be a dick about it, right?
The girls already knew, Wanda, Pepper and Nat. They too would be dressing very extravagant and sexy for this pool party, just to tease their men, that would be some comfort at least. Knowing that you wouldn't be the only one.
'Y/n... everything okay in there?' Natasha asks as she knocks on the wall next to the dressing room.
'Just a second!' You reply as you continue to stare at your body in the mirror.
There's only one problem, you don't have a bikini, and here's the perfect example of why. It is just hard to find one that fits nicely without looking like a complete.. well you get it.
Just like the one you have on now, it's a strong bikini, the only one they had in your size. And yet it still reveals so much. Much more than you're comfortable with.
'Y/n...' slowly the curtain moves a bit and Nats head peeks through.
She can see you're on the verge of crying, your bottom lip already caught between your teeth to prevent anyone from hearing.
'This is pointless...'
Nat gets in and closes the curtain behind her, she doesn't want anyone seeing you like this.
'We will find something that looks nice and that you'll feel comfortable in... don't worry.. Wanda And Pepper are working on it right now finding the one...'
'I look like a Barbie... maybe even like a Kardashian.. Steve will never want me if I look like a plastic surgery gone wrong..'
'Would you stop talking about yourself like that?!, honey look at you... you're amazing... and all natural.. and Steve wants you no matter what y/n... god knows that boy is hopelessly in love with you...' She wraps an arm around you, looking at you both in the mirror.
'I... I don't know Nat...'
'If they make any comments I will shoot them.. I'm always packing... and y/n, you're beautiful.. if I wasn't straight I would've beat Steve to it for sure...'
You chuckle while wiping a tear from your face. 'If I wasn't straight, I'm sure you would've...' you comment and she laughs as she squeezes you.
'There she is again, you know-'
'WE FOUND IT!' Pepper cheers excited before rushing to the dressing rooms with Wanda trailing behind her.
'Y/n, y/n, y/n!, we found the perfect one!' Pepper whips the curtain away before shoving a black two piece in your hands and pulling Nat out.
She pulls the curtain back leaving you flustered and shocked at the same time. Multitasking is still a thing.
You look at the bikini and sigh before quickly changing into it. You close your eyes as you stand with your back to the mirror.
You sigh before turning around, not expecting it to look good either but when you open your eyes, a gasp leaves your lips.
'Is that a gasp?, is it good or bad?, y/n... is it good or bad?' Wanda asks excited and worried.
'Its...' you shove the curtain aside. 'Amazing!' You yell and at that moment, the three have a gawk moment themselves.
'Y/n.. you look fantastic!, classy yet soooo sexy... if I wasn't straight-'
'Yeah we get it Nat..' you laugh. 'I'm actually starting to doubt if you're that straight...'
•••
It's time, and you couldn't be more nervous, everyone was going to see you, you'd sure make a few mouths drop.
But now that Natasha, Pepper and Wanda, are already waiting for you, makes it more scary. So you take a deep breath and wrap the long robe around yourself once more before stepping out.
'Now remember...' Pepper starts as you're nearing the pool. 'We're here the whole time, and if someone says something mean, we will-'
'Give them a vibe check from god!' Wanda yells and Pepper rolls her eyes.
'No.. we will hurt them...'
'That's what I said...'
You chuckle nervously when you see the whole team, plus the new additions to the team, standing around the pool in groups, talking away happily.
You walk through the open doors and go straight to your seat. Laying everything down. Your fingers go to the edges of the robe, slowly and shakily taking off the robe.
You turn around and suddenly everyone is staring at you. Just what you were afraid off. It makes you start panicking as your eyes go around to see everyone gawking at you. Everyone including Steve.
'Excuse me?!, what the hell is wrong with you all?!' Pepper says loudly making everyone slowly look away.
Everyone except for Steve, but not for the reason everyone thinks, he's looking to see if you're alright after that.
It might've been a short moment but he knows you tend to get embarrassed very easily, while that's not even necessary half of the time.
He can feel a pang in his chest when he sees you quickly covering up with the robe again before sitting in the seat. Your knees are up to your chest while you wrap the fabric tighter around your body.
Instead of letting you sulk in embarrassment, he makes his way over to you, sitting down on the other seat next to yours.
'Hey..' he says awkwardly and you give him a small smile in return, but you don't really look him in the eyes. 'Y/n, I thought it was really brave what you did there, just want to get that off of my chest...'
'Everyone stared.. I'm sure they're already gossiping about how fake everything is...'
'You're not fake... I would eat my shoe if even something is fake about you...'
You look up and see he's pretty serious.
'Please don't tell me anything that will make me eat a shoe...' he jokes and you chuckle. 'You look beautiful by the way... the confidence you had for a moment looked amazing...'
'You sure you're not talking about the bikini?'
'That too, but I'm more interested in the confidence.. and since I'm talking about confidence... I uh was going to ask you a very important question, well domme it's very important I don't know-'
'What?' You chuckle.
'Do You maybe want to uh... go on a date?, I've had my eye on you for a while now and Bucky will actually shoot me if I don't ask you out..'
'So I get to go on a date with you and save your life?'
This makes him smile, the attitude is back again, the jokes and the smile are back.
'Exactly doll...'
'I mean... I am part of a super heroic group so... I would be pretty hypocrite to not save you from your end..'
'Pretty selfish too...' he comments.
'I would love to Steve...'
'Phew..' he wipes the imaginary sweat off of his forehead making you burst out in laughter.
Natasha glances at you and Steve and smiles to herself while talking Wanda and Pepper to get their attention. They all smile at you from a distance, you're too caught up with Steve to notice.
And they don't mind it one bit.
