Eat Drink And Be Merry
The trip to Moscow went rather smoothly. With all the kids in the jet, she would have expected some chaos, but after an hour or so in the air, they settled down. Some even slept, which was the best thing they could do with the timezone changes and all. Natasha read reports her nephew sent and had finished the stack of papers by the time they arrived in Moscow in the early morning.

The kids were given a car and driver along with a security detail and were given most of the day to explore Moscow. Natasha spent most of it with her nephew and his finacee. There was a brief meeting with Putin that she somehow managed to get through. Was it bad that she still wanted to shoot the man?

Dinner was a grand affair. A formal banquet with all the trappings and all of the kids were on their best behavior. There wasn't even any bickering between Misha and Anya. Natasha would take the small miracles when she could.

After dinner they retired to their rooms for an hour to change and freshen up. Natasha slipped into her second dress and made a quick call to Tony. Then she headed downstairs to the ballroom.

Anya loved parties and loved dressing up for them, but tonight her heart just wasn't in it. Aunt Jan had made her an awesome dress and there had been the obligatory spa visit before leaving, but she could really care less.

The Temujin stuff weighed heavily on her mind along with having to move to Boston. She had yet to tell Steve and anyone else for that matter and she wasn't looking forward to it. She wished Dad would have let her use the suit for commuting, but he did have a point and she really didn't deserve to use it. Not after her major act of stupidity.

She looked at the gathered crowd and suddenly wished she were miles away.

Steve put an arm around her shoulder. Not that he would wish her distractions on her for the world, but it gave him a distraction from his own feeling out of place. This was definitely not the kind of world he moved in. He was barely a step up from a carny kid. Definitely not the type you brought with you to something this high class. Not to mention the monkey-suit.

"You wanna sneak out the back?"

"Already? We just got here and think of the rumors that would be started," she said and smiled up at him. "I would love to. Some fresh air would be nice."

He grinned.

"Let's, then. And screw the rumors. 'less, of course, we make sure they're true."

"I like the way you think, Mr. Barton," she said and took his hand to lead him out to a balcony. She smiled and nodded politely as they made their way across the room.

Way too many rich and important folks here for his taste anyway.

Once they were outside, he smiled again. "I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?"

Anya shivered a little against the blast of cold air that greeted them when they stepped outside. There was a light layer of snow on the ground because winter came to Moscow early.

"You did, but I can always stand to hear it again," she said as she stepped closer and wrapped her arms around him. "Though my handsome and incredibly sexy boyfriend may get jealous if he overhears you."

He held her close and kissed her.

"Hmm... I don't think he'll mind too much."

She eagerly returned the kiss. This? Much better than putting on a smile and partaking in meaningless small talk. "Good."

In the back of her mind was the nagging thought about telling him about moving to Boston. God, she was going to miss him so much.

Anya smiled. "Get used to it. Most of the parties I go to are like this and there's a lot of them."

Anya went quiet and pulled away from him a little. "Steve, there's something I need to tell you. I was going to wait until we got back, but I don't want to drop it on you at the last second."

He arched an eyebrow.

"What's up? You know you can tell me anything."

"I know," she said. She took a deep breath. "The past few months with you have been wonderful and a bright spot in what otherwise what has been a rough year. You're an absolutely wonderful guy who I don't deserve in the least and with whom I'm falling in love with, but...." She took a deep breath. "I...Dad...the suit...I have to move to Boston."

"Oh."

Dammit, why wasn't he smarter when it came to saying stuff?

"You're pretty damn special yourself. Way better than some palooka like me deserves.

"Looks like I'll have to bone up on on sky-cycle lessons then."

She didn't seem to hear him. "I understand if you don't want to do a long distance relationship and want to go back to being friends. I can deal with that." She could, right? "Not everyone can do the distance thing."

Usually he was the one not listening.

"Uh... Gorgeous? You know how stupid I'd have to be to give up on this? Even I ain't that stupid."

Anya blinked. Her mind caught up to what he was saying. "Of course you're not. I guess I'm the one...oh hells." She shut herself up by kissing him.

Oh, he is not touching that line with a ten-foot collapsible compound staff.

Instead, he just holds up his end of the kiss.

Anya smiled up at him when the kiss was over. She brushed her fingertips lightly across his cheek.

"Will you do me a favor?" she asked in a low voice.

"I'd be careful saying that, Mr. Barton, but I'd like you to come back to my suite with me. We can curl up and watch movies until we fall asleep. I'm really not in the mood to go back in there."

Steve pretended that he had to give this serious consideration.

"Sounds like a plan to me, Gorgeous."

Anya kissed him. "You are the best. Come on," she said as she took one of his hands. "We can get out of these formal clothes, into some sweats and snuggle up for some warmth."

Steve took her hand and smiled. "Now that sounds like an offer I can't refuse," he said, playfully.

And thankfully her mother had yet to give him the "I know lots of ways to kill you before you can blink" talk.

"Yeah? What else can I offer that you can't refuse?" She grinned and waggled her eyebrows.
