What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas

Requested by tainted_dreams. While on the run after civil war, Steve and Natasha elope in Vegas.

Steve and Natasha had been dating for a while now.

They had started their relationship almost as soon as she had found Sam and Steve on the run after the civil war.

Steve had regrets about not telling Natasha how much he loved her so he confessed his feelings to find out that she reciprocated them.

Since then, they had been traveling all over the world to stay hidden.

It was a crazy life, but somehow they still managed to find the quiet moments.

They talked about the future a lot. They knew that a family was unlikely if at all possible possible.

With Natasha being sterile and the government still tracking the couple down, it just wasn't realistic.

But marriage, that was something that could happen.

Steve always promised her that one day, they could finally tie the knot and make it official.

Natasha waited patiently, but even she could only wait so long.

Her patience ran out during their brief stay in Las Vegas. She just didn't know how to tell him she was ready.

Lucky for her, Steve was also tired of waiting.

They were staying at a rundown motel that was filled with bugs and trash, but it was good enough for them.

Sam was already asleep in one of the beds when Steve came out of the shower frowning.

Natasha noticed immediately and furrowed her eyebrows.

"What's up?" She asked.

Steve sat next to Natasha and sighed. "How much longer is it gonna be?" He asked quietly.

Natasha tilted her head slightly, "Until what?"

"Until we can get married. I know we said we would wait until we could have a proper wedding, but how long will that be?"

Natasha bit her lower lip and frowned. "Probably too long."

Steve sighed.

Natasha looked up at Steve and gave him a small smile. "What if we just do it here?"

"What do you mean?" Steve asked, confused.

"I mean that we are in Vegas, we could just elope. It would just be you, me, the pastor, and Sam as a witness. I don't know about you, but for me, that's enough."

Steve couldn't help but smile. "I could marry you in a dump with no one to officiate and it would still be enough. Let's do it."

Natasha beamed. "When?"

"Why not right now? I'll wake up Sam."

"Okay. What about the rings?"

"We can stop on the way and buy them." Steve said. "Actually, why don't you meet us at a chapel and Sam and I will go pick up the rings. It's not midnight yet so we can still follow tradition."

Natasha rolled her eyes. "What tradition."

"I can't see the bride on the day of the wedding."

Natasha smirked, "Fine. I'll text Sam he address when I get there."

They woke up Sam and quickly filled him in on what was happening. Despite being irritated at being woken up, he was excited for his friends.

Natasha grabbed her phone and wallet and grinned at Steve. "See you at the alter." She said, kissing him lightly.
