Zemo is Your Date to a Wedding Headcannons

(I should be editing my fic, but instead I’m writing headcanons because of 1. My lovely Daniel Bruhl dream and 2. I have a wedding to go to in July and I don’t really want to but if Zemo went with me I’d totes be there.)

While you weren’t bothered by people asking about your relationship status, you really didn’t want to subject yourself to being the one person at your friend’s wedding that didn’t have a partner or kids at your age. You’re not sure if you even want to go because you’re not that close to your friend. You leave the invitation on the table and  don’t think much about it till Sam brings it up and you say you’re not going without a date to have a buffer. Even if it was just a friend, you wanted someone there that knew you now instead of over a decade ago. 

You ask Sam and Bucky, both saying they’re too busy with the boat and they didn’t want to start rumors that you could be dating Captain America or Bucky Barnes. It’s almost time to respond to the invitation, but you decide to just let it go and forget it.

A week later you get a letter saying ‘Thank you for your RSVP!’ and you’re confused because you didn’t send it. You ask Sam and Bucky and they didn’t send it.

That leaves Zemo, who’s been quietly observing the whole situation.

-Firstly, he’d just smile and walk away when you questioned him.

-Secondly, he’d take you shopping for a killer outfit. Be it a suit or a dress, he will not let you pick something less than stuffing. Not to mention the accessories.

-You’re actually excited to go to the wedding now, even though you have made it clear that you’re going as friends. ‘Of course, Schatz.’ 

-The day of, you’re nervous because you haven’t seen some of your friends in a few years due to work. Sure you kept up on skype calls and messaging, but now it’s in person and different. Zemo keeps giving you small touches and hand squeezes to distract you. 

-When the two of you arrive, it’s in a sports car that was not released in your country, which meant Zemo shipped it there specifically for the wedding. 

-Instead of holding hands, you link arms, making it easier to hind your clamy hands from him.

-Everyone is excited to see you. Your friends are happy to see you after so long and of course want to know everything about Zemo. The fact that they would rather hear about him and not yourself is a bit disheartening. You had just wanted to not be alone at the wedding.

-Zemo is ever the observant man and rescues you before it gets to your friends asking about how you’re ‘just friends’. You take your seats and despite trying to hide your hands, he takes it without flinching. He strokes the back of your hand with his thumb, easing your nerves and making it so easy to lean against him.

-The wedding starts and as much as you love your friend, it was just another wedding. The connection you used to have wasn’t there anymore, but that didn’t mean you weren’t happy for them. 

-At the end when everyone is filing out to go to the reception, there’s photographers taking pictures of everyone for the newly wed couple and somehow you and Zemo end up getting quite a few taken of the pair of you. 

-At the reception, everyone is able to let loose and have fun as food and drink is served and the dance floor is opened up. While you were content to stay in the back at a table to eat and have a glass of wine, Zemo was not.

-It takes a bit of prodding, but he eventually gets you out on the dance floor. That’s when the real fun started.

-The songs were goofy, ones meant to be played at a high school prom in the early 2000′s, but then someone decided to put on a tango. Zemo did not let you run away, instead holding your close as he lead you through the steps. 

-The whole event was supposed to be just friends, but with him pressed against you and your faces so close, it was hard not to swoon. The whole dance floor clears to make room for the two of you suddenly putting on a show.

-The dance is something Gomez and Morticia Addams would have done, spins and dips, a rose suddenly between Zemo’s teeth, even him kissing you from one hand to the other along your arms and shoulders.

-When it ends, you’re both out of breath and the room is cheering for you.

-You’re sure your friend would be upset for stealing their moment, but you don’t really care anymore. 

-The songs change to slow dances, but still Zemo doesn’t let you leave the dance floor. You stay close as his hand goes to your waist as he holds the other, letting you rest your head on his shoulder.

-You find yourself actually having fun as you keep dancing, taking small breaks to get a drink or relieve yourself. Zemo reminds you that in Sokovia, weddings would go all night and into the wee hours of the morning. While he may have had the stamina, you weren’t sure if you did or not.

-The dancing at least keeps you from sitting still long enough for someone to question you and Zemo’s relationship. It’s honestly the most fun you’ve had in so long. 

-You make your way to the head table where you greet your friend and their partner, making chit chat and congratulations. You don’t see it, but Zemo slips them an envelope with a check for a wedding present. If you knew how much it had been, you would have tried to stop him. 

-More dancing and drinking, some of it almost ballroom grade and some of it was you trying to teach Zemo Gangnam Style.

-He really enjoys Gangnam Style.

-Near the end of the night, you’re both giggly and happy, bidding the rest of the people that were still there a good bye before leaving. Neither of you are drunk on alcohol, but drunk of happiness. It had been too long for either of you to have let loose.

-Instead of driving to the airport, you get a hotel for the night. You almost protested, but you were too tired to fight it and the though of a comfy bed was too much to say no to.

-When you get to the hotel, you almost expect separate rooms, but Zemo gets one and you’re not that bothered by it. 

-You get to the room to find it’s more of a large studio apartment with an equally large bed. 

-While you should feel tired, Zemo breaks out more wine and turns on the music. In the room you can take your shoes off and continue your own dance party. After all, when was the last time you had more fun?
