steve rolls his eyes and sets his hands down on his hips . “ ʷʰʸ ᵈᵒ ʷᵉ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵗᵒ ᵐᵃᵏᵉ ᶤᵗ ˢᵒ ᶜᵒᵐᵖˡᶤᶜᵃᵗᵉᵈ ? you go as woody and i go as buzz lightyear . neither of us needs to to go as jessie ! everyone will still understand that we’re from toy story . maybe THEY’LL GET IT even easier because who the hell chooses toy story but then leaves out buzz ? “ it’s a little ridiculous for them to argue over it . morgan had picked the topic and there were ˢᵒ ᵐᵃᶰʸ ᵒᵖᵗᶤᵒᶰˢ ᶠᵒʳ ᵗʰᵉ ᵗʰʳᵉᵉ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉᵐ to dress up . yet , they failed to agree on which costumes to buy for this year . “ what’s the problem ? do you want to be buzz ? IS THAT IT ? “ almost like the aged back 30 years , steve looks back at tony with a frown . “ if that’s what it’s about then you can be him . “

the way he had stumbled over his words hadn’t been very graceful . choice of words ᶰᵒᵗ ᵉˣᵃᶜᵗˡʸ ᵖᵒᶤᶰᵗᶤᶰᵍ ᵒᵘᵗ ʷʰᵃᵗ he wanted , captain probably speaking through his eyes more than his voice at this point . BUT SHE DID THAT TO HIM . had this effect . where he was usually calm and collected , well-spoken and wise , all of that was forgotten as soon as he looked back into her warm brown eyes . nothing left of the captain , only steven grant there . “ yes . “ finally confirms with half a smile , CHEEKS SLIGHTLY FLUSHED , flustered by a woman – even after over a hundred years in the game . “ that is what i was trying to say . ᶤᶠ ʸᵒᵘ’ᵈ ˡᶤᵏᵉ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵗᵒᵒ – of course . “

“ you know what ? “ steve packs the lunch tony had prepared for the kids the night before into their backpacks while they were brushing their teeth . it had been a short night . the twins had ended up between tony and him . one at first – nightmare , COULDN’T SLEEP . second just minutes later . their bed was too small for the four of them but as always , ʰᵘˢᵇᵃᶰᵈ ᶜᵒᵘˡᵈᶰ’ᵗ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵇᵉᵉᶰ ᵇᵒᵗʰᵉʳᵉᵈ and just slept through most of it while steve woke up every other minute thinking he might fall off the bed . around three he had given up and moved to the couch for a few last hours of rest . now , he felt accordingly and tony still snored away in bed . “ you can comment on my eyes when you’re raising three kids . “ puts the box with her food on the table before taking a sip of his coffee . third cup already ... “ ᵃᶰᵈ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ʷᵒᶰ’ᵗ ᵇᵉ until in ten years OR SOMETHING . “ one stern look before he returns to cleaning up behind himself so tony wouldn’t find a messy kitchen should he roll out of bed while he was out of the house to drop the kids off at school .

it was meant to be a surprise for her that he finished putting in the last of the furniture to the bedroom . until now they had just slept on the mattress on the floor and their clothes were still piled in boxes . other rooms had had more priority – KITCHEN AND BATHROOM as well as the living space needed to be put together first . they spent the most time there . ᵃᶰᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵇᵃᵇʸ’ˢ ʳᵒᵒᵐ . it wouldn’t be a lot longer until they’d welcome it into their life and steve would have liked to have the house in one piece by then . but today he just hadn’t managed . the lamp still needed to be attached and the two nightstands needed to be put together before they COULD FIND THEIR PLACE . the wardrobe in one piece but the clothes still sitting in boxes in front of it . still a lot to do until the room was done even though ʰᵉ ʰᵃᵈ ᵃᶤᵐᵉᵈ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵉ ᶠᶤᶰᶤˢʰᵉᵈ by the time she returned home . “ hey . “ he turns his head over his shoulder for a second , just pushing THE LAST DRAWER into the dresser . “ i didn’t expect you so soon . “ dirty blond wipes hands on jeans which had seen better days probably . approaches girlfriend to place a kiss on top of her head , palm gently running over her stomach .
ocean eyes gaze into the half finished bedroom . “ guess it’s not much of a surprise like this . at least not a pleasant one . “ CORNER OF HIS MOUTH wanders up . ʰᵉ ᵈᶤᵈᶰ’ᵗ ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ ʷᵃᶰᵗ ʰᵉʳ ᵗᵒ ʰᵉˡᵖ . not because yelena wasn’t capable of it . steve knew she was . but she was pregnant . and he didn’t want to put any work on her . “ you know what would be the greatest help right now ? IF YOU FIXED US SOME COFFEE and you sat on the bed and just ... gave me some company ? “ tries talking her out of working ʷᶤᵗʰᵒᵘᵗ ˢᵃʸᶤᶰᵍ ˢᵒ ᵈᶤʳᵉᶜᵗˡʸ . steve was almost certain that’d annoy the hell out of her .

critically , captain looks at himself in the mirror . he hasn’t done anything differently to himself – wears his hair like he always does , face clean shaven , the button down hot ironed and smooth against hard muscle . and yet , steve wasn’t happy . how could he be , WHEN HIS PARTNER IS A GOD . looked like it too . he’d never particularly cared about his appearance , not back in the days ʷʰᵉᶰ ʰᵉ’ᵈ ᵇᵉᵉᶰ ᶤᶰᵛᶤˢᶤᵇˡᵉ ᵗᵒ ᵐᵒˢᵗ , not later when saving the world was a priority . but now his life had changed . now things were different . now there was a someone in his life , someone who he wanted to impress and who he wanted to appeal to . at least as much as thor did it to him too ... “ i don’t know . maybe the blue shirt was the better choice . “ dirty blond shrugs , clearly not satisfied , starts unbuttoning it ʷᶤᵗʰ ʲᵘˢᵗ ᵃ ˡᶤᵗᵗˡᵉ ᵇᶤᵗ ᵒᶠ ᶠʳᵘˢᵗʳᵃᵗᶤᵒᶰ and turns away from the mirror . if his partner was taking him on a date , an official date with just the two of them , he needed it to be perfect . he wanted to be perfect . FOR HIM . “ i’m going to put the other one on and then we can leave . promise . “ apologizing smile directed at him before steve picks up his original choice from the bed again to chance .

he sets down the box between his legs where he is seated on the bench and stirs the mix of seeds collected in it with his finger . the soft smile never leaves his face . ᶤˢ ᵃᵗᵗᵃᶜʰᵉᵈ ᵗᵒ ʰᶤᵐ . even when it feels like it doesn’t reach his heart . even when tony points it out so effortlessly . when IN JUST A FEW WEEKS TOGETHER the man from the city seemed to know him better than anyone else around the farms and villages . or maybe that was just because he made an effort to get to know steve beyond his working abilities . a first. really . ᶤᶰ ˢᵒ ᵐᵃᶰʸ ʷᵃʸˢ . his first student . but also his first friend . first time spending this much time with someone who he didn’t share blood with .

" it gets lonely sometimes . i don’t ... have a lot of people around me . makes me wonder if there is another purpose to my life than the animals and the fields . i love it here . and i’d love it even more if i had someone to share it with . someone like you . ᶤᵗ’ˢ ˡᵉˢˢ ˡᵒᶰᵉˡʸ ˢᶤᶰᶜᵉ ʸᵒᵘ’ʳᵉ ʰᵉʳᵉ . with me ... “ ocean eyes glance over just for a second . then back to the flower seeds he planned on planting around the worn down barn tony had chosen to flip . planned to put them there to CONTRIBUTE HIS PART TO THE CAFÈ they had been speaking about . to watch them bloom like tony had done to him . in bright colors with their faces directed at the sun .

the air between them tense in the best way possible . STEVE’S HEART BEATING IN HIS THROAT , mouth a little dry but not taking away from his words . “ come here . “ hand on her lower back to pull her in . only the second time they touch like this – his breath brushing past her face , heartbeats almost united . cheeks red , ᶠᵉᵛᵉʳ ʳᶤˢᶤᶰᵍ ʷᶤᵗʰᶤᶰ ʰᶤᵐ . “ i was thinking about you too ... “ free hand finds the side of her face . privacy of his apartment much appreciated , spicy texts between them TOUGH TO BEAR WHILE HE WAS AT THE OFFICE . steve leans in . lips finding hers , taking off the edge of heat that he’d been carrying around in his chest all day , small grunt . finally ... ʸᵒᵘᶰᵍ ˡᵒᵛᵉ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵉ ᵉˣᵖˡᵒʳᵉᵈ ᶠᵘʳᵗʰᵉʳ , excitement fed , fingertips digging into fabric of her clothing , never quite gets enough of her .

ʳᵉᵍᵃʳᵈˡᵉˢˢ ᵒᶠ the two of them sitting and holding each other’s hand – fingers intertwined , palms pressed TOGETHER , warmth grown between them , thumb brushing over the back of her hand softly ... – regardless of all of that , her words came as a surprise to him . too deep sat the memory or ʳᵉʲᵉᶜᵗᶤᵒᶰ . the plumpness with which she’d told him no . the words she had found to reason with him . he’d NEVER believed a single one , becky in his eyes always the one . ᵇᶤᵗᵗᵉʳ ᵖᶤˡˡ to swallow to realize that things had been different for her . that years and decades he had seen something , felt something , that just wasn’t there . time wasted . or not . not because she was still so IMPORTANT to him . rejection hadn’t changed that , ᶰᵉᵛᵉʳ ʷᵒᵘˡᵈ . she held that special place in his heart , was at home right there . the whole thing might as well belong to her . surprise igniting it , giving it a KICK START , causing it to jump however , consciousness has build up walls . high and ready to protect the ᶠʳᵃᵍᶤˡᵉ ᵖᵃʳᵗ of his soul .
captain quiet for a moment . looking at their hands . his so much larger than hers . rough . a ᶠᵉʷ ˢᶜᵃʳˢ visible . completely in contrast to hers . SOFT SKIN . gentle . the hand of a lover where his always just seemed clumsy next to her . he wants to look her in the eye but when steve makes an attempt , he gets nervous . so gaze REMAINS focussed on where they are ᵗᵒᵘᶜʰᶤᶰᵍ . “ what made you ᶜʰᵃᶰᵍᵉ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵐᶤᶰᵈ ? “ and that , truly , all that he wants to know now . the only question left to answer because regardless of high guards , regardless of the set back , of the small moment of HEARTBREAK – fck all of that . if becky was willing to give him a chance , captain wouldn’t mess it up . if their love finally got an opportunity to grow , ʰᵉ ʷᵒᵘˡᵈ grab it .

dirty blond slides closer . darkness of the bedroom helping to calm his nerves . there isn’t really a reason for his cheeks to feel this hot and for his stomach to be a little uneasy . OR MAYBE THERE IS . maybe the rapid pace at which his heart is beating once the length of their bodies are pressed together , is reason enough . maybe the fact that ᵗʰᵉʸ ʰᵃᵈ ᵇᵉᵉᶰ ᵉˣᶜʰᵃᶰᵍᶤᶰᵍ ᵏᶤˢˢᵉˢ for a while now was reason enough . maybe just being in thor’s presence was reason enough for it .
captain brings his legs over the hip of lover , pulls himself just that much closer . not enough space for a piece of paper between the two of them . good . HE LIKES IT LIKE THAT . likes it when they feel like one . when they fit against each other like two pieces of a puzzle . ˢᵗᵉᵛᵉ ˡᵉᵃᶰˢ ᶤᶰ ᵒᶰᶜᵉ ᵐᵒʳᵉ . lips wet from where tongue had touched moments ago , had tasted each other and explored each other . eyes closed . courage gathered . ALL OF IT SUMMONED , heating up in his chest , cooking over while kisses are exchanged . “ i love you . “ small whisper between the touch of their lips . so small . barely audible . shy like he was testing how the words felt in his mouth . a first . first for the two of them . ᶠᶤʳˢᵗ ᶠᵒʳ ʰᶤᵐ ᵉᵛᵉʳ . nervous little smile and he tries to cover up what had been said with another kiss against lips of the other man . never expecting to be told the same and still ... so much hope there within him . so much fear of the rejection . courage that had been collected before comes crashing the second words had been said . MAYBE TOO SOON , maybe the wrong moment . maybe unwelcome . but at least he had said it . at least he’d gotten it off his chest . if nothing else , ˢᵗᵉᵛᵉ ʰᵃᵈ ᵗʳᶤᵉᵈ .

" thor ! “ dirty blond elbows him into the side and tries to bring some distance between his boyfriend’s lips and his ear but it’s hard when they’re sitting this close and HE’S LEANED INTO HIS SIDE . when an arm is wrapped around his shoulders and they’re enjoying the sight of a mostly empty liberty park . regular people at work . superheros taking a moment to breath . ᵗᵒ ᵉᶰʲᵒʸ ᵉᵃᶜʰ ᵒᵗʰᵉʳ’ˢ ᶜᵒᵐᵖᵃᶰʸ in the most delicate way – privately . cheeky gaze to the side before he looks forward again and shakes his head a little . “ can’t you count the ducks instead of ... “ small gesture with his hand , captain still growing used to openly discuss the physical part of their relationship , still growing into it . “ it’s getting hot in this jacket ! “ playful complain . STEVE DIDN’t EVEN MIND THAT MUCH , he enjoyed it . enjoyed the attention , the large palms on his body , skin against skin . but he found himself blushing whenever thor’s words had an effect on him in public , ᶜᵒᶰᵛᶤᶰᶜᵉᵈ ˡᵒᵛᵉʳ ᵈᶤᵈ ᶤᵗ ᵗᵒ ʰᶤᵐ ᵒᶰ ᵖᵘʳᵖᵒˢᵉ . crafting a revenge plan that he knew would most likely fail anyway . just like that . they had each other in the palm of their hands .

steve hadn’t even bothered waking up tony after trying to step out and being greeted with a wall of snow . that had been A HELL OF A STORM last night and luckily tony’s dad and he had already discussed how they’d handle the farm for the time of the storm . automatic feeding in the barns they couldn’t easily get to and the rest dad would make sure to check on . good thing ᵗʰᵉʸ ʰᵃᵈ ᵉˣᵖᵉᶜᵗᵉᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ʷᵉᵃᵗʰᵉʳ to get worse for a while . with tony still in bed and deeply asleep , and the home couldn’t be left either ... there wasn’t much to do . even if he was awake now . so , STEVE DID THE ONLY REASONABLE THING . after making a little fire in the fireplace to heat up their home , cowboy changed out of his work clothes so he could slip back into bed with his husband . both arms wrap around him to ᵖᵘˡˡ ʰᶤᵐ ᶤᶰᵗᵒ ʰᶤˢ ˢᵗʳᵒᶰᵍ ᶜʰᵉˢᵗ , kiss dropped to his forehead and he pulls the blanket up a little higher . “ are you cold ? “ he speaks in a quiet tone when he feels tony stirring from his sleep .
