I love you, baby! I’m sorry I took so long! <3

Basorexia - An overwhelming desire to kiss + Steve

It was the fourth of Julyand though it was his birthday, Steve couldn’t shake the crushing sensation offhis chest.

The party on the brandnew last floor of the Stark’s tower was still on full swing when he decided togo outside for a breath, overwhelmed with the music and the lights to be eventhinking in having fun in the first place.

This wasn’t exactly howhe was planning to celebrate his birthday – in fact, he wasn’t planning oncelebrating at all but Tony had insisted so much and Steve couldn’t help butsay yes, especially when the man had offered to pay for everything.

Now he didn’t knowexactly what to do.

He was new to the worldagain, in a place where he didn’t know anyone during a party that was still waytoo much for his old taste.

Until she showed up.

“Hey, Cap!” She greetedas soon she stepped outside, making Steve turn around in surprise but stillwith a sheepish smile curving his lips. “That’s not exactly your thing, huh?”

As she pointed back tothe party, Steve couldn’t help but chuckle because yeah, that wasn’t even nearto his thing and he was even surprised that someone had managed to notice thatgiven the entertainment with the DJ inside.

“Not really.” He repliedwith an apologetic glance, watching fondly as she walked up to stand beside himon the railing. “I take it that’s not your thing too?”

“Hardly.” She huffed outa laugh that soon melted into a sigh and a small shrug as she took her time tolook at the view beyond them, pretty much all New York lit up under their feet.“I’m just here for Tony. And Pepper. And you,obviously.”

Steve didn’t know muchabout the rest of the Avengers just yet, but he could say he knew a little moreabout her given she had been the one to spend time with him while he adjustedto his new life at the tower. From what he gathered, she worked for ObadiahStane first, until he turned against Tony and Pepper became the company’s CEO.

Then she started working for Pepper, who assigned her to take careof the Tony and most of the tower’s matters. And he just happened to become oneof the tower’s matters after the Chitauri invasion.

But Steve wasn’t exactly expecting to be this infatuatedwith the girl this fast.

She was beautiful andkind and polite to him and everyone else who need her help but what he lovedthe most was that she saw him beyond the symbol he was, way beyond his past andwhat he did back in the 40s.

And more often than hecared to admit, Steve was longing to have her near him – simply because shemade him feel good and simply because she didn’t step on eggshells when he wasaround.

Just like in that verymoment.

“Thank you.” He repliedwith a genuine smile, his heart nearly skipping a beat as she grinnedsheepishly beside him. “You didn’t have to stay if this isn’t your thing.”

“I have a gift for you.”She announced once he finished speaking, instantly rolling her eyes when hepulled up a low-key stern expression, ready to rant about how she didn’t needto get him anything. “Don’t even. I know what you’re gonna say and yes, I had to get you something, okay?”

Steve didn’t say anythingas she started fumbling around her shoulder bag, muttering under her breathuntil she managed to pick up a small box from it.

Wrapped up in a bluepaper and a silver ribbon, the box was a little roughed up at the edges but hestill didn’t care as he took the gift from her hands and proceeded to wrap hisarms around her in a silent thank you that she gladly welcomed.

Steve was expectinganything – literally anything butthat.

Resting against a smallred cushion was his mother’s wedding ring, polished and just as perfect (maybeeven better) than the last time he saw it.

“It isn’t really my giftbut I thought you’d like to have it back.” She murmured quietly, watching withkind eyes as he stared dumbly at the jewelry before him. “It was withS.H.I.E.L.D. but I don’t think they really need this, right? It’s not like Furyis proposing to someone.”

Her small laugh broke himout of his reverie and soon Steve’s lips were on hers, finally fulfilling oneof his long-time wishes as she kissed him back with just as much excitement. Hedidn’t know how long it lasted but when they finally parted, his arms weretightly wrapped around her waist and her hands were right at the nape of hisneck, fingertips softly playing with his hair.

“Thank you.” Steveparroted his early words, this time carrying way more emotion than before asshe smiled at him with a slight blush covering her cheeks. “This is…this is way more than I was expecting. Thank you.”

As he hugged her again,Steve felt happier than he’d ever been since getting out of the ice. Maybe –just maybe – things were looking upagain for him.

I made this for you ^^ happy valentine’s day 

We love who we love, it sucks.
