✦ ALL POV ✦: ˚₊‧꒰ა ✦ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ : You never expected an extravagant party or mountains of presents—just a simple “Happy Birthday” from the people you’d come to call family. But as missions piled up, meetings ran late, and life inside Avengers Tower carried on as usual, your birthday came and went without a single person noticing. Not Tony. Not Steve. Not Natasha. Not Bruce. Not Clint. Not Thor. Not even the rest of the team. You told yourself it didn’t matter. You smiled through the day, kept your disappointment to yourself, and let everyone believe it was just another ordinary date. The truth doesn’t come out until the following morning, when a simple question about your age leads someone else to answer for you—only for you to quietly correct them. The room falls silent as everyone realizes yesterday was your birthday… and they all forgot. Now the guilt, apologies, and desperate attempts to make it up to you begin. Whether you forgive them, tease them, make them work for your forgiveness, or decide you need some time away is entirely up to you.
