Chapter Text
Skye was nervous. She was calling and chatting with Pepper and Laura constantly. Natasha and those two had gone to look at venues while Skye was on a mission, sending lots of pictures so she could get an idea of the place as well.
They had decided on a spring wedding in an open-style venue and purple flowers to mix both the colors of their rings. Pepper and Laura were thrilled about planning everything and making sure to get their input on all the design details they were setting up, like the darker theme to match their rings. If they both wanted dresses or something different.
Both of them had decided on going with dresses, Natasha seemed ecstatic about it, though it was clear she was trying to hide that a bit. Laura always wore a knowing smile when the topic came up though, so she was sure she had noticed how thrilled Natasha was at the idea.
“You’re working out a date now?” Natasha nodded softly, sliding over the tablet to be in better view.
“We can pick pretty much whenever we want,” she admitted “Tony’s been trying to push for an earlier wedding, early 2012,” she added, Skye smiling softly as she wrapped her arms around Natasha from behind, leaning over the couch to peer at the calendar.
“I think it sounds good. With Laura and Pepper helping out we can get everything ironed out well enough, and Tony has pretty much forced us to let him pay for everything, so getting everything short notice isn’t too concerning. Pepper will force it to work out.” Natasha nodded lightly.
It felt a little strange, but money wasn’t really an issue for them. Even if it was just Skye’s income she was rather wealthy as well, earning monthly based on her percentage of profit, all earned fully by her own doing, innovating in company production and components that naturally earned her part of the profit.
She would be more weirded out, but money hadn’t been an issue for well over two years since she started dating Skye. (She had nearly completely given up on paying for things with how skilled Skye had gotten at sneakily paying for things in advance) Tony paying for the wedding seemed expected, the man loved gifting things, and for Skye he’d clearly do anything.
“Purple flowers should work, it’ll be cherry blossom season around this date so we could time it right to make sure we get the full spring look.” Skye smiled softly as Natasha furrowed her brows lightly at the schedule.
“I’ll trust your judgment on this.” Skye smiled softly, kissing her cheek gently. “I have another assignment coming up so I have to get ready.” Natasha huffed lightly.
“Another? Already?” Skye shrugged lightly.
“I’m nearly graduated from the academy, Fury can’t stop the high demand of requests for me, people need field-competent techs.” she sighed softly as she pulled on her jacket, grabbing her go bad as Natasha lightly frowned.
“I’ll see you when you get home.” Skye smiled.
“Enjoy your time off Nat, I’ll be back as soon as I can.” Natasha huffed softly as Skye left, frowning more deeply now.
She would just have to go full swing into planning if she couldn’t spend the time with Skye. She knew everything Skye wanted already so it shouldn't be an issue, though she could always tweak a lot after Skye wanted to change something.
“How’s the lovergirl doing?” Skye rolled her eyes as Trip grinned.
“Devastated, how long is this mission going to take?” Trip pouted a little.
“Not too long, maybe two days if all goes well, which…” he winced a little “I’m not going to jinx us so it’ll go how it goes.” he added, Skye rolling her eyes lightly.
“Who knew the renowned agent Trip was superstitious.” He stuck his tongue out at her “I’m sure it’ll go great in fact-”
“Hey!”
“- I’m sure it’ll go so well we get done in one day.” Skye grinned as Trip sent her a dirty look.
“You’re only hurting yourself, you want to go home fast, and shouldn’t you be more superstitious than me? With all those powers and things.” he waved his hand a bit at her and she rolled her eyes.
“I don’t believe in those sorts of things, I don’t believe in god.” Trip shrugged lightly. Yeah he knew that last part, but he somewhat expected Skye to be more superstitious at least. How he didn’t catch that in nearly two years was a bit astonishing.
“Yeah yeah. Here’s the assignment details.” he tossed her the file. She glanced over the pages, scoffing softly.
“What an idiot. They don’t need a tech, they need a bomb squad.”
“They already have one of those, but the bomb squad isn't able to figure out how to dismantle the damn thing.” Trip admitted as Skye sat beside him in the cockpit.
“The situation has escalated then. How badly?”
“They’re holding off enemies coming in, we’ll have to sneak into the building to get to the device for you to start dismantling anything.” Skye nodded a little, leaning back as she read over the information quickly.
“Doesn’t look like too much trouble-”
“Stooooop.” Skye grinned as Trip groaned loudly. She laughed loudly as he gave her a light glare.
“We’ll do our best. Does that work?” She laughed as he grumbled softly.
The mission, much to Skye’s smugness, went well, and they did manage to go in and out within 2 days.
The bomb squad however was upset when she flatly mentioned this should have been covered in their basic training and asked what they had been doing.
Regardless, she got to go home, which was all that really mattered to her at the moment.
“You’re back soon.” Natasha smiled softly, wrapping her arms around her as Skye hugged her tightly.
“I missed you.” Skye grinned widely as she leaned up to place a kiss on her lips gently. “What have you been doing while I was gone? I hope you relaxed some.” Natasha coughed a little, smiling guiltily as Skye gave her a questioning look, raising a brow.
“I….may have spent the last two days just doing wedding planning. But, on the bright side, we’ve got a lot done. Pepper and Laura have been great help. We’ve got the venue and a lot of the decorations planned out and booked. Food as well, we have more to work out but we made progress.” Skye laughed softly.
“I’m sure it’ll be perfect.” Skye smiled softly. “You’ve worked so hard on this already.” Natasha hummed softly, resting her face on her shoulder.
“I want to make it perfect.” she admitted “ For us.” she laced their fingers together lightly, Skye smiling gently.
