oh my god i do that with ballet and it's so annoying bc i get that the parents want to help their kid but there's a reason why there are teachers and assistants in the class??? everything would run so much smoother if parents didn't distract their kids to try and "teach them" what's going on in the lesson :((

okay a few things first 1) to be entirely fair to steve, i’ve had to ask a few of my friends for clarification when they’ve said similar things 2) imagine the kid like that one kid from the incredibles that’s always riding his bike by mr. incredible doing superhero things. 3) i almost wrote a version of this in which the ship was aaron burr and his mistakes, and somebody was literally killed. almost.

---set in some vague slightly canon divergent future in the mcu where everybody’s happy and bucky’s part of the avengers already---

Steve and Bucky just want to be alone. It’s been a long week and they finally have a full day off and they just want to go enjoy it, alone, without being recognized every hundred steps. They took the necessary precautions, wore street clothes, even conceded that, yeah, maybe hats and sunglasses are beneficial.

Once they get recognized by one person, it’s game over. Other people see them and get curious. And then it’s four people. And then more people get curious, and then it’s ten. And then here they are, surrounded by no less than two dozen people vying for a chance to get a signature or picture or ask a question. At least this crowd is relatively calm.

One boy, probably no more than ten, is particularly starstruck. “Steve?” He says, but then a weird expression washes over his face, and his words start blurring together. “Uh, Captain America– Mr. Rogers– Captain Rogers– I, uh…” The poor kid is panicking, and Steve just smiles gently and assures him that, “Steve is fine.”

The boy grins at this, bolstered by the reassurance. “Uh, Steve, can you give me some fighting tips? I saw you fighting some guy on the news last week and you totally killed him! It was so cool! And I’m in karate and–”

“Killed him?” Steve cuts him off, putting a hand on the kid’s shoulder. “Wait, what, literally?” Steve’s pretty sure he didn’t kill somebody last week. He thinks he would remember that. He knows he would remember that. Except, next to him, Bucky’s laughing at the exchange, and so is the kid, so obviously he missed something.

“No, not literally!” The kid is laughing, still looking up at Steve like Steve’s his entire world. “You just, like, totally destroyed him in the fight! And I want to be able to do that!” And then Steve’s shaking his head with a smile before crouching down to speak to the kid at eye level.

Bucky doesn’t let him hear the end of it for weeks.

Jubilee was standing before Jean, her head held proudly and she was wearing her yellow jacket over one of the training tac suits, she should be back at the Academy and not in the middle of a very real battlefield. 

“I’m fighting for my family,” Jubilee says, moving closer till they were standing side by side. “Same as you Jean.” 

“Hey,” Jean interjects before Jubilee could say anything further, and grabs her hand, intertwining their fingers. “Just stay safe okay.”

2. what would you name your future kids? 

i love the names ronan and charlie - especially if charlie is a girl honestly - but i’d have to consult with my significant other i’m raising kids with!! their opinion counts a lot too :)

5. is there anyone who can always make you smile?
