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 .

he is laughing even though tony noticed before he could really reveal the truth . steve tries to keep his own AMUSEMENT at a limit to make sure the other’s don’t catch wind of it . he doesn’t really want to explain that he’d decided to go ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵃᶰᵈᵒ to make sure they’d go home early . tony’s old COLLEGE FRIENDS were fun to hang out with . unless you were married and had three kids and a whole house to take care of . where tony had grown up it ˢᵉᵉᵐᵉᵈ ᵗʰᵃᵗ some of his buddies weren’t quite THERE YET . or at least not when they reunited once a year . and truly , there were only so many topics steve could talk about with the wives , only ˢᵒ ᵐᵃᶰʸ ʲᵒᵏᵉˢ he could crack , just so much cleaning talk before he got bored of it . their life seemingly not complicated enough to have the issues these people seemed to have . or maybe just not COMPLICATED when it came to their relationship and their family . good . he ᵖʳᵉᶠᵉʳʳᵉᵈ ᶤᵗ that way . but it also lead to these evenings feeling endless . so , tricks had to be played to ensure a REASONABLE bed time .
" good , because it would have gotten reeeeal AWKWARD if you made me pull down my pants to , ᵇᵉˡᶤᵉᵛᵉ ᵐᵉ . “ grinning wide , palm finds the back of boyfriends head to PULL HIM IN , kiss placed against his lips . he lingers . mouths still touching when they talk . “ so is it going to work ? can we ᵍᵒ ʰᵒᵐᵉ ? “ grinning , another kiss exchanged with the HOPES of the lack of underwear being reason enough to call the night short .

there wasn’t one ex that would have been tougher to face . not one of his exes he wanted to see less . not a SINGLE ONE who he was as bitter over as he was with tony . maybe because he’d been his first love after all . maybe because he’d so ˢʰᵃᵐᵉˡᵉˢˢˡʸ used steve’s naive heart until there was nothing to use up anymore . until it was broken into pieces and brunette MOVED ON without him . a grief that had changed his life so drastically , steve ended up changing ᵃˡᵐᵒˢᵗ ᵉᵛᵉʳʸᵗʰᶤᶰᵍ about himself . now , nothing left of that skinny shy dude . now he’s grown up . and yet , facing him didn’t feel any less distressing . there isn’t really ANYTHING steve wants to tell him . nothing that needs to be discussed now , not all those years later . but of course the ᵗᵉʳʳᵒʳ ᵗᵃᵇˡᵉᵗ had sent them on a date . of fcking course it had to CHOOSEN making his life more miserable when it could . “ you couldn’t have picked a different show to get on and fill your bank account more , hm ? had to come here to taunt me . i shouldn’t be as surprised really . “ shaking his head a little , steve slurps on the COCKTAIL they’d been served . not even the burning taste of the drink helped him to ᶜᵃˡᵐ ᵈᵒʷᶰ when he was furious inside . / @iinventor

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 .

it didn’t even matter which traditions they would follow this christmas . he didn’t want to choose which movies they watched , what they ate , didn’t even want to have a say in the DECORATION OF THE TREE . tony and morgan could gladly decide all that because steve’s biggest dream for the end of this year was becoming true . he’d see her . ˢʰᵉ ʷᵒᵘˡᵈ ˢᶤᵗ ᵃᵗ ᵗʰᵉ ᵗᵃᵇˡᵉ ʷᶤᵗʰ ᵗʰᵉᵐ , would unwrap her presents with them there , would play with morgan , would sit on his lap when they sang a christmas carol together . they’d be reunited . and it was all steve could ask for . “ sure . we have a few at home from past christmases . emma might have grown out of hers so we could head to the store and pick up a new one for her . “ this was good . it gave him purpose . it gave him SOMETHING TO WORK TOWARDS TO . a perspective . if they were finally willing to let him see his daughter , maybe the decision to let her come home wasn’t far off . ᵈᶤʳᵗʸ ᵇˡᵒᶰᵈ ᵗᵘʳᶰˢ ʰᶤˢ ʰᵉᵃᵈ ᵗᵒ ᵗᵒᶰʸ . “ you wanna head down now ? you needed some more things for the tree anyway , right ? “

it’s hard to look away when the uniform fits her perfectly . when the hat sits on her head which she holds up proudly , badges worn with so much dignity , the smile on her face SO PURE AND SO HONEST . he loves it . even if they have not truly addressed the feelings for each other yet , steve loves seeing her like this . ᵐᵃʸᵇᵉ ʰᵉ ˡᵒᵛᵉˢ ʰᵉʳ ˡᶤᵏᵉ ᵗʰᶤˢ . maybe steve rogers is in love . maybe . so many maybes . all of them irrelevant today . her big day . he was going to take none of the attention that belonged to just her . “ you look like you are exactly where you should be and it amazes me . you know what they say . it’s not the title that makes the man a champion . ᵗʰᵉ ᵐᵃᶰ ᵐᵃᵏᵉˢ ᵗʰᵉ ᵗᶤᵗˡᵉ . or woman . and i know you will . i know already of all the prestige YOU WILL BRING TO YOUR TITLE , captain santiago . “ dirty blond stands back , watches her with bright eyes , clearly deeply caught in his adoration for her . not nearly as slick as he had thought he would be .

gloved fingers ADJUSTING the velcro on the other wrist to tighten fabric around it . eyebrow dances up slightly when he glances over to the younger man . “ ᵈᵒ ᵃᶰʸᵗʰᶤᶰᵍ ? “ short pause , thoughts working however ... “ what did you think we were going to be doing ? “ steve ʷᵃˢᶰ’ᵗ ˢᵘʳᵉ what pietro was HINTING at though , hands sink back to the side and instead , palm meets his shoulder to give it an encouraging squeeze . questioning eyes find those of him , ᶰᵒᵗ ʷᶤˡˡᶤᶰᵍ to ACCEPT a half-hearted answer .

“ ʸᵒᵘ ˢᵘʳᵉ ? i can train without , it’s fine . “ though steve had to admit that he felt a wave of excitement when archie offered him one of his ear pods . the gym radio would SOMEHOW have brought him through the workout for sure and he’d have turned down the offer from anyone else . ʷᶤᵗʰ ʰᶤᵐ though ... he felt that feeling again . the one he liked to pretend wasn’t there . THE ONE he didn’t want to give more room until he wasn’t sure whether archie felt the same . he could ᶠᵉᵉˡ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵃᵐᵉ , right ? steve wanted to think he stood a chance . wanted to believe that each time fingers lingered on muscle of the other when correcting posture , that it meant SOMETHING . he hoped it did ... ᶠᵒʳ ᶰᵒʷ ᵗʰᵒᵘᵍʰ , honest smile on his lips when he takes the ear bud and presses it into the shell of his ear . sharing music like this feels so ᶤᶰᵗᶤᵐᵃᵗᵉ , like their own little secret . steve ready to dive into archie’s world and yet ... tried to play it off as cool as POSSIBLE . didn’t want to appear too eager , too enthusiastic and then run danger of ᵗᵘʳᶰᶤᶰᵍ ʰᶤᵐ ᵒᶠᶠ . “ thanks ... what are we listening to ? “

both hands pushed into the pockets of jeans . casually dressed with the hopes of not getting ʳᵉᶜᵒᵍᶰᶤᶻᵉᵈ , base cap sitting on his head , pulled down low to throw shade on his eyes . not to be seen . not seeing ANYONE . not until he was here . here , where he didn’t belong , where he shouldn’t have come . wells had every right to ask , to be surprised . if it was ᵗʰᵉ ᵒᵗʰᵉʳ ʷᵃʸ around he would have reacted the same way . captain clears his throat , head tilted up . desperate attempt to see HIM even though he knows that part of his life is over . in the past . jasper and he: ʰᶤˢᵗᵒʳʸ . “ i’m ... not entirely sure . “ short awkward twitch of the corner of his mouth . this place isn’t going to give him what he had hoped for . “ i thought ... coming here would give me the FINAL CLOSURE . “ self-destructive in a way – that he had hoped to see something that’d anger him enough to finally say fck it and ᵇᵉ ᶠʳᵉᵉ ᵃᵍᵃᶤᶰ . now , instead , ex’ best friend faced . “ my bad , sorry . i didn’t come to stir the pot . “ crap , so easily making a fool of himself . so obvious to the fact that after all these years , he still knows nothing about relationships . or ending them .

steve had to think about it for a moment . many years had passed since he last had the chance to truly dwell on christmas celebrations . to get THE MOST out of the time , out of the warm lights , ᵗʰᵉ ˢʷᵉᵉᵗ ˢᵐᵉˡˡˢ , the feeling of family . so long that he’d almost forgotten how much he used to enjoy christmas when his mother had still BEEN AROUND . touchy topic for so many years . maybe it was time to let that go . to allow himself the joy of it once more . maybe , if they got to share it , he’d love this ᵗᶤᵐᵉ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ʸᵉᵃʳ once again . “ i used to love ... “ short pause . gaze drifts . tries to remember . tries to pick a favorite memory , faint but there . “ ... going out to pick a tree . MY MOTHER used to let me choose and once we hunted down the one we carried it home and put on the lights . we used to craft stars out of straw and hung them in the tree . spent ᵃ ʷʰᵒˡᵉ ᵈᵃʸ on it . “ small smile grown ON HIS FACE . the slight tug at his heart accepted as the ache after a person who no longer was in his life . but she’d always be there . always where he felt that little weight on his heart . so it’d be alright . ocean eyes find face of the other man again . he is also at home in steve’s heart . “ tell me about your traditions . ʷᵉ ᶜᵒᵘˡᵈ ᵈᵒ something we both ENJOY . considering ... we get a little while here before the world goes crazy again . “

hands drop to his side and expression stays almost blank . ᵘᶰᵘˢᵘᵃˡ for the man who wears his heart on his sleeve . however , not as much of a surprise considering WHO had uttered the question . the words core of why they stood on ᵈᶤᶠᶠᵉʳᵉᶰᵗ ˢᶤᵈᵉˢ instead of side by side now . not in a professional manner , not necessarily . but it was never easy facing your ex . steve NOT the kind of man picking fights , not here to open yet ᵃᶰᵒᵗʰᵉʳ ᵈᶤˢᶜᵘˢˢᶤᵒᶰ of where they’d gone wrong , what could have been better , how they should have handled things . they were over . wanda an he COMPLETELY over . for a while too . or ... were they ? “ it’s fine . “ captain mutters through a tight jaw . “ absolutely fine . “

once again , steve is holding his stomach from laughing so hard . corners of his eyes a little wet as he tries not to choke on his own laughter . it had always been like that BETWEEN THE TWO . a few sips of alcohol and they turned into massive clowns . tony would make funny faces , steve presented his favorite party tricks and a few shots later they’d end up on the couch kissing and behaving like teenagers ʷʰᵒ ʰᵃᵈ ᶰᵒ ᵐᵃᶰᶰᵉʳˢ . or like partners who’d shared so many years with each other that sloppy touches and an occasional joke in the middle of love making really didn’t matter . in fact , MADE IT SO MUCH BETTER . when steve managed to get the choking under control finally , he took the eatable eggnog cup to put it on the tip of tony’s nose . it stuck perfectly thanks to the chocolate on the inside . not that it stayed there for very long . steve leaned in to bite the thing off his face , ends up licking at the back of tony’s nose to get all of the eggnog off him . “ hm ... ᵃˡʷᵃʸˢ ᵇᵉᵗᵗᵉʳ ʷᶤᵗʰ ᵃ ᵇᶤᵗ ᵒᶠ ... you in it . “ he winks when he leans back in the seat again . “ you know ... we have a second bottle in the kitchen . should we drink it and pretend tomorrow THAT IT WAS JUST ONE ? i’ll run to the store to restock so it’s like ... the bottle was never gone . “ while speaking , steve already got another cup out of the box . it was out of question . they were doing it .

“ here you go ... “ steve hands over the box which was filled with a pair of socks . socks he’d somehow managed to make himself. ʷᵉᵉᵏˢ ᵒᶠ ᵗʳʸᶤᶰᵍ ᵗᵒ ˡᵉᵃʳᶰ how to knit just to come down to this moment . now , presents exchanged . “ i’m accepting honest feedback .

head falls back against the couch when he sees the movie she has settled on . generally , steve doesn’t mind watching a movie he’s not too invested in . it came with sharing a living space . some nights HE GOT TO CHOOSE , other nights it was her turn . but when gwen settled on the holiday he knew what she was trying to do . she didn’t just want to watch a romance together . nah . ᶤᵗ ʰᵃᵈ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵉ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ˢᵖᵉᶜᶤᶠᶤᶜ ᵒᶰᵉ . a christmas one . all those years together and she still didn’t want to accept that it was his least favorite holiday of the year . and truly , why wouldn’t it be ? most of the christmases in his life had been spent alone . no family to share it with , no one to meet for dinner , no one to wake up to early to unwrap presents with . NONE OF THAT . ʲᵘˢᵗ ᵃᶰᵒᵗʰᵉʳ ᵈᵃʸ ᵒᶠ ᵐᵃᶰʸ . although she had made several attempts to get him in the mood , steve still didn’t really feel it . “ you sure it’s gonna be that movie ? “ last attempt to get out of the christmas romcom but he already knew that if gwen had set her mind to it , they would watch it .

with a bit of a sigh , steve pushes himself back from the table so he can get off the chair . “ i know . “ dirty blond huffs . it’s been long ˢᶤᶰᶜᵉ ʰᵉ ᶠᵉˡᵗ ˢᵘᶜʰ ᵃ ʳᵃᵍᵉ , long since he’s been so angered that it resulted in him staying calm . no screaming , NO THREATS , no arguing . nope . he just sought violence . revenge . needed to draw a line , make an example of this guy . “ i’m not doing it for you . “ words bitter as he starts to gather his things , ready to head out any moment to go after the guy . “ ᶤ’ᵐ ᵈᵒᶤᶰᵍ ᶤᵗ ᶠᵒʳ ᵐʸˢᵉˡᶠ . once more guy disrespecting our relationship and i’m going to throw a grenade under his car . “ okay . maybe THE ANGER STARTED TO SURFACE . but this time he’d do it right , this time he’d make sure that she wasn’t the one who’d be on the receiving end of the fight .

every memory the two of them make , steve is convinced he deserves it . he is convinced that thor has given enough in his lifetime . it was his time to receive . and if STEVE COULD GIVE HIM THAT with as much as his own time then he would . any day of his comparably short life he would . ᵗʰᵉ ᵈᵃʸ ᵖᵉʳᶠᵉᶜᵗ – like most days since peace had found its way into their life . morning slow as they shared it in bed , breakfast rich like they both enjoyed it , time spent doing things that lovers did to make time pass together . since the two had found each other , everyday was a day ᶠᵒʳ ˢᵒᵐᵉᵗʰᶤᶰᵍ ˢᵖᵉᶜᶤᵃˡ . today , nothing short of that . crepes at the christmas market had been delicious . TASTE OF NUTELLA still lingering on his tongue when the snow had started to come down . the wind was fresh so he pressed into thor’s side more on their walk home .
“ look . “ gloved hand comes up when he spots it . the mistletoe hanging from one of the street lights , their personal spotlight it seemed . “ you know what that means , right ? “ not that HE REALLY NEEDED an excuse to kiss thor but it was ᵃ ᵖᵉʳᶠᵉᶜᵗ ᶜᵒᶤᶰᶜᶤᵈᵉᶰᶜᵉ playing right into his cards .
